How to hoard water?
From my understanding, water bottles aren't a good way to keep water hoarded since the plastic begins to leach after a few years. How the fuck are you supposed to keep sterile, drinkable water safe for a long period of time?
How to hoard water?
Glass containers with a lid so they don't absorb C02 from the air.
keep them in steel or copper pots?
Glass, you cunt. Or clay.
How long will that remain potable though?
Indefinitely you nagger.
In that case go for a stainless steel container, you can go as small as a thermo bottle, or a milk canister. When you want a LOT of water then buy a milk truck
Just boil it
If you distill the water, and have no contaminants, it will last forever.
Water goes 'bad' for 2 reasons
>shit grows in it
this is 'bad water' that can harm you
>shit dissolves in it
this is 'bad tasting water' that usually won't harm you
So you distill it prior to storage? I could keep a giant tank of airtight-sealed water in my garage and it'd be good to drink ten years later?
no, it wouldn't.
The only realistic way to maintain water purity long term is to distill then freeze it, and keep it frozen until usage.
and it is next to impossible to assure either of those two things from happening without putting in additives.
>Few years
Try a few minutes in direct sunlight. BPA is a helluva drug/chemical byproduct
Glass and ceramic containers. Just check that it is still good and clean when you open it after a while
There is a reason why vast swaths of the world were barely inhabited for most of history, you basically have to live where there is actually water.
>for a long period of time
You have to change it out regularly.
Yearly at the minimum, 6 months is more preferable. There alot of good videos on youtube about this.
I'll add this. The best solution for you would probably be getting either a couple of the blue 55gal drums meant for water or a food safe IBC tote and putting it in your garage.
As far as cycling out water goes, just use it to water your plants or your lawn.
Cisterns
Glass, easy. Have plenty for tomorrow.
Curious. Threads about acquiring and storing water are being made. Just before the collapse of the global economy and the coming online of a social credit system like that of China, coincidentally.
>How the fuck are you supposed to keep sterile, drinkable water safe for a long period of time?
In containers designed for water. They are labelled as such. Add a small amount of peroxide to keep bacteria from growing. Two tablespoons of 3% food grade peroxide per 4 liters of water. Cycle that water out every year.
If you have a house, you can drill a well.
Concrete wells or concrete rainwater collectors can do that
>concrete
enjoy your radon exposure
use a river or lake like the rest of humanity has been doing since the dawn of civilization you absolute nagger.
70% of the fucking planet is covered in kilometers-deep oceans and will only run out when the sun brings hellfire to this god-forsaken shithole of a rock in a billion years.
unless you are a nagger in sahara, storing water for more than a month is as retarded as storing air.
This may be difficult for a europoor to understand but a significant portion of the US looks like this
Dig a well then bitch.

You do know you don't have to live in the desert, right?
>be dumb nagger
>build a mud hut in a desert
>die of thirst
it's called natural selection
How about don't live in a desert ?
Drought can be anywhere
bring up the 1540 European draught.
>posts map showing vast areas of zero drought risk
Isn't storing water illegal? Is it a FED post?
Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing? Our benefactors will always make sure you have enough to drink, goy!
it isn't unprecedented for areas that normally get rain to go 11 months between rain.
You could buy a few of these and store enough water to last the rest of your life

you would be surprised how fast water goes.
It’s underground in a solid sealed container there’s no where for it go
I meant more along its usage. But cisterns go empty, even sealed ones over time. Better hope no roots and the like break it open.
>cisterns
Shitty above ground ones
If you buy one that’s built soundly with a metal casing it literally can’t go bad or leak
You could theoretically
You’d only need 20k gallons or so
However yes its much easier to just dig a well but I plan on having at least 5 years worth of water buried in case of shtf
I drink a bottle of vodka virtually every night, so I need 2-3 liters of water every day, minimum, plus other fluids like coffee and juice. No I am not fat.
>I drink a bottle of vodka virtually every night
You must be exaggerating
No, actually. To be honest, that's the truth. I try not to get through a whole bottle, but mostly I do.
I can’t even take one shot without my stomach hurting
do you drink it straight?
>do you drink it straight?
Fuckin oath I do. Sometimes I mix the first one, but after that it's like sipping water.
I don't think you can actually store still water for the rest of your life, though. You need a fresh water source eventually.
Farmers use those big ass plastic containers. 10,000 gallons
get some land
drill a well
build or buy a cistern
don't be a stupid nagger
Get land, drill well, get hand pump for well, you’re set.
Adding a hand pump on my property this summer. There’s also a natural spring a few miles from my home, which is nice.
