It's for those times when you need to collect rainwater, purify suspect tap water, or even draw water from a natural source. It’s about having a refreshing drink and the means to stay clean, even when the unexpected happens. ## How we selected the items We thought through the common oversights in emergency water preparedness. Many people store bottled water, but often underestimate the daily requirement of one gallon per person for drinking, cooking, and sanitation. This bundle goes beyond that, offering robust solutions for long-term storage in shelf-stable Mylar-lined boxes, capable of holding over 500 gallons. We've included methods to capture and store rainwater, and even an atmospheric water generator to pull moisture from the air. For purification, we've assembled a system large enough to serve a family, and even a community, tackling everything from cloudy sources to microbial threats. ## Item Highlights * **Atmospheric Water Generator:** Creates pure drinking water from the air, silently and automatically. * **500+ Gallon Water Storage System:** Features stackable Mylar-lined boxes with spigots for easy access and long-term preservation. * **Advanced Water Purification Packets:** Effectively clarifies and disinfects even heavily contaminated water sources. * **High-Capacity Rain Barrel & Stand:** Collects and stores precious rainwater with a convenient spigot. **Estimated total:** Starts at $394.
