Are you ready for a situation in which you wake up, and while trying to make coffee you find the water has been shut off due to the hurricane that blew over during the night that you just so happen to sleep through. Do you have a friend that likes to “drink”? Do you go on four-hour road trips, and like to have some ice cold, fresh water with you? The pictures should just about tell you what you should have been doing even before any hurricane was on the radar. Repurposing glass bottles is a no-brainier and should be something you would already be doing to store fresh water that you produce by ways of your own filtering system. If you are not filtering your own water by now, well….that’s a whole other story altogether….yikes, I can’t believe some people still trust what comes out of their tap… Also, you should be storing some frozen water to use as ice-packs to toss in a small cooler which would hold your filtered water for a nice road trip. The glass bottles and home filtering system should be standard ops for anyone these days, at least those who live in South Florida. I use a CrystalQuest 10 stage filter system that includes an arsenic filter. I will update this blog post when I have time. Chime in if you have any other “water” ideas.
