FRIDAY PREPPING - Water Crisis
Happy New Year!
After many changes in my life in 2016, I'm hoping things are back on track. I have several things to share with you over the coming weeks. Today seemed like a good day to kick things off.
If you've not been to The Big Family Homestead on YouTube, I encourage you to check them out. They have a variety of 'homesteading' tips as well as tech tips for using YouTube to share your message.
This week, they are having a Seed Swap and a Giveaway (ends Sunday night!) Winners will be announced during their Sunday Livestream (7 p.m. EST)
To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment and share one of their videos. By now I think you all know how I am about making sure I have plenty of water on hand for drinking, cooking and daily household maintenance. The crisis they speak of that occurred in Corpus Christi Texas a couple of months ago is just one of the many reasons to Be Prepared!
Here's a video where Brad talks about the crisis and the importance of having water on hand:

After you've watched the video, please consider taking stock of your current water supply on hand. Do you have enough to sustain you in the event your power is out for even a couple of days? Or if something contaminates your well or water supply?
While you're at it, research water purification should you have to share the stream with a local eco-system.
YouTube videos I found of interest:

Simple & Quick method from Bushcraft412

NOTE: I have not tried either of these methods but hope to in the near future. Aside from being prepared with water on hand, it's important to PRACTICE the skills BEFORE we need them.
Be Prepared!
