And I also saw a youtube guy did on his stored water that was no more than he filled container with tap water,it was still good years later.

Anyhow,in my neck of woods get the food grade HDPE for 15 dollars for a 55 gal,or 100-125 dollars for the 275 gal tote.

Man thats cheap! And water I bet is the number one failure we most have in our preps.

If youre lucky some places will give away the 55 gal ones,if a friend works for Coca Cola,they get em free.
