Why stock up on water?

I frequent this forum about twice a week.

Usually half pissed.

Don't forget the time difference.

It is now 12;20 am Saturday in Australia.

Wowser!
 
If you are not pissed after midnight on a Saturday night, then you haven't been laid.
 
I am fortunate as my water comes from a well, but for others on city and municipal systems I imagine the fear is failure for those entities to provide water.

I'm on a well too. Although in the city people stocking up on water, tell me their afraid the banks won't cash paychecks, there for not paying the bill.

This is just terrible.

I also met a few people standing in line at a grocery store, buying many gallons at a time with foodstamps. I asked one lady, and she told me her water was already shut off.

Sooo, I dunno. This isn't the way it's supposed to be, people.
 
I was with the US Army Special forces for 3 years and I honestly don't know how I ended up with 3 of them. I guess they gave me a new one with each deployment.

OK, that makes sense.

Actually, they wouldn't be a bad investment. They never go down in value, and if drinking water becomes hard to find they will be worth their weight in gold.

Buy gold.

Don't rely on mystical alternatives.
 
Guys, I need to know where I can buy an old fashioned wind pump water mill. I don't really need the rig itself, just the turbine. Please help!! I googled, but can not find a specific site for actually selling parts or the entire rig.
 
Haven't read through the thread but these links I copied from another forum might come in handy.

Re: Inespensive water filter

John Lipscomb has a video that tells you how to make
a decent filter with two five gallon buckets, grass, sand,
carbon, and lava rock. Cheap!

and alpharubicon shows you how to make a home made
berkey filter. Cost you about 100 bucks

Re: De-Humidifiers and Water Purification

One of the coolest purification methods I've seen so far goes something like this:
1. You get a bunch of unglazed clay flowerpots.
2. Plug the holes in the bottom of them.
3. Stack them up, maybe 5 high, one inside the other.
4. Put water in the top one.
5. The water slowly percolates down through the first clay pot, then the second, third, etc., until all the water has been filtered through clay.

Shit for brains.

Maybe I could wipe your ass?
 
I've been storing up food and supplies, but I have limited space in my apartment and it would to hard to store hundreds of gallons of water. How come some of you are storing up so much water? Do you really think prices will be so bad you won't be able to afford your water bill, or that water companies will have trouble distributing enough water for everyone? Hard to imagine either of those things happening.

Buy a Berkey, feed it snow...
 
We have well water man. Jeez. Hurricane dolly simply damaged our rig because of the 12 hour long sustained 100mph wind.

Could you be a bit less jackassy?

Oh and thank you for the site Texan4life! I appreciate it down in South Tex.
