I'm not one who is so concerned on speaking or spelling words, but more on their meanings (or is it meenings or meignings)... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, is using bottled water or tap water or filtered water (e.g. Brita, PUR, etc.) the same as "purified"? Or is there an acceptable way to purify water for long term storage?

As for sealing (or seeling or ceiling as you may like), after boiling (or bowling or boughling (I think I coined a new word)) the water, has anyone wrapped the bottle with some form of shrink wrap or waterproof tape? Or is just tightening the bottle good enough (assuming the Nalgene Lexan bottles) ?

PS - How do you all store water in your vehicle? I know some people like those 2.5 gallon or 5 gallon monsters. I was more thinking of buying the Nalgene bottles and placing several (on the order of dozens) underneath all the seats in the car. You could even sew up something with pockets and velcro to keep them from moving around. Think of all the water you could fit under the seats and not take up trunk space....
