I basically use Randjack's method for bob, 72 hr and car kits. My home storage (now being replaced, since it was lost in flooding recently) is "bulk" in bags (wheat, oats,) buckets and cans. Get HEAVY trash bag liners and boxes of powdered bleach - you can use these with 5 gal plastic buckets for waste containers.

Do NOT plan on filtering in a situation like this. You NEED stored water - there are too many chemicals to be sure you've filtered all of the bad stuff out (I'm talking chemicals here.)

In a "longer term: situation, a still may be a good choice, but with a fuel trade off, just storing water my be more effective.

In places out here in the desert, where you will probably still have a dry fuel source, the still becomes more realistic.

Fortunately, I live here in Mormon land (Utah) and know that a pretty good number of neighbors are prepped.

I also serve on the local LEPC just to keep up with all of the local plans and folks…

My choices for evac for me and my family range from 2 hours (10 hrs by dirt roads F-350 with two tanks) to Tucson, more than 10 hours away.
