I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these water boxes shown below? They are from beprepared.com.
I'm wondering how well the mylar bags would hold up being full of water over a long period of time.
The kits are currently on sale for $29.95, so I could buy two of these kits for less than the price of one of their 55 gallon water drums. This would give me almost the same amount of water storage, but would be much easier to move or haul if I had to. What do you guys think?

That's about 216 gallons. Ask them how high you can stack them.

What's the shipping cost?

What would it cost to buy the bags, the boxes, a sealer, and add your own water? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Susan, I live about 4 miles from the warehouse and everything is included (except water) people misunderstand that fact.

P.S. you can stack 3 high safely.
