What's a good water filtration device for lake or rain water?
 Quoting: pool


LOL that depends on how much you can afford or want to spend.

Some of the best are Berkey Water filters... But be prepared to spend a couple hundred bucks.

[link to www.berkeyfilters.com]

If your new to water filters REI has a good page you can read that gives some really good info. About types and kinds of filters.

[link to www.rei.com]

These guys tend to do good reviews so you should be able to find what right for you here.

You may want to check out rainy day foods from Walton Feed in Idaho.

They sell 1 year packs, mostly in 6 gallon buckets.

1 years worth of food runs from $650 to $1,100. I've purchased a few myself.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Walton Feed except as a customer.

I would also suggest cooking oil, along with one year packs. These packs contain mostly grains and rice. They don't usually put fats in these packs as they don't store as well as grains.

As maligned as fats are, you do need a little bit every day to survive. Three gallons of oil or Crisco per year per person.

Costco and Sams are great places to get the 5 gallon institutional size. Along with other preps in bulk...

These one year packs also require a grinder. I purchased two for redundancy.

Re: Being Prepared - Updated Basic Food List On Page One
I've been playing around with oil lamps. Expired cooking oil can be used for this. You can tell bad oil by an earthy smell when you open the jug.

A small glass bowl with an inverted empty cat food can works great. I use wicks made from the strings from a mop. A small hole is poked in the bottom of the cat food can (which is inverted) and a string pulled though it.

I did an experiment with a single wick and bowl. A gallon of oil can provide light for over 30 days. Without a lick of electricity!

I tried using twelve wicks in one cat food can - which put out enough heat to slowly cook. Beware: don't use it over an hour as the oil in the bowl gets really hot.

Re: Being Prepared - Updated Basic Food List On Page One
Cheap way to have a ceramic water filter. You can run 10-15 gallons of water through it a day and clean it at least 100 times. Try to buy at least two, but 4 would be best, IMHO.

To keep from stressing your ceramic filter, let the water you have collected sit for a few hours to let it settle and scoop the top water into another container. Treat this with bleach or sodium hypochlorite and let sit for at least 30 minutes. Smell it. Does it still have a bleach smell? If not, treat with a little more bleach, let sit for 30 more minutes and run through the ceramic filter. Let sit for an hour or two to get rid of the chlorine taste. To speed this up, you can pour water back an forth between two clean containers. This will also add oxygen back into the water, keeping it from tasting flat.

This will show you how to use it:

So, is the point of this thread to get people not to trust God? Do you think you can store up enough water and food for a month? What will you do if your neighbors come knocking at your door, dying of hunger and thirst?

Go to God, everyone, not to a misguided shill. Lord, please have mercy on this precious one, as s/he knows not what s/he does.

God will get you through every circumstance. Trust Him! He may tell you to stockpile, etc. He may not. The beauty part? He knows the future, and loves you totally and completely - He's just waiting for your call.

No, you don't need those exactly. You need the FATS. You can just get more peanut butter or whatever you like to replace those. You need a total of 25 lbs of FATS to keep you alive and to cook with. How you supply those fats is up to you. I hope that helps to understand the list more.

The food list is very good but it requires knowledge of food preparation beyond microwaving.

You are right about calories. If you are sheltering in place you may get by on 1200 - 2000 calories but if you are working hard all day you will need a lot more.

Many people are buying the '1 year food supply' from Costco or another source of just add water dehydrated foods. Those are very low calorie / serving. So the buyer will either need to supplement heavily or double or triple the serving sizes for adults.

Very true. Plus they are more expensive than cooking it yourself. There will be times when you can't cook, and do need some of those "just add water" type foods.

Personally, I am cooking up a bunch of beans and rice then dehydrating. By doing it now, when water is plentiful, it will save time and water later on. Sealed properly, they will last a long time. Some pre-cook pasta but for me, that just takes up too much room, so I don't do it. For those that didn't know it, the hard dried pasta you buy at the store wasn't cooked before hand.

You need a way to cook and even provide warmth that doesn't use a lot of wood. The following video is from 2012 so the supplies might cost you more. There are many plans out there for building a rocket stove/heater. Find one you like. We will making one like the two videos below to use for canning in the next few weeks. I can't wait to try it out.

1k calories per day is plenty. 2k-5k is ridiculous.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1227147


1K calories is fine if you are a sedentary adult. between ages 9-18 will need more - figure 1500-1600 calories - or growth will be stunted.

2K calories for an adult is typical when active through most of the day. 3K or more calories is a good figure for an adult who is working at hard labor for half the day or more.

Water needs also increase with more/heavier activities, so plan accordingly. My figure is 3gal/day per person for drinking, cooking (remember dehydrated foods need water for preparation), and personal hygiene.
