Best idea - find yourself a place out in the middle of nowhere with a natural spring, stream or pond and a decent sized cistern to store water supply.

Spring is best - streams and ponds too easily contaminated. Have iodine tabs.

Trying to store water is an impossible task - have 10 or so 5 gallon empty 5 gallon containers in storage. The ability to source 50-100 gallons of water in an emergency is important. Should last a couple of people a few weeks comfortably.

You know what your biggest weakness is as a man ? You often give “advice” but never take none = Typical Narcissist

(I can read you like a children’s book).

Fading your Cubs play DIRECTLY & not indirectly like your bitch made kind.

Short term answer... 3 - 200 gallon totes. Utlize iodine and or other disinfectant methods as necessary. Use rain collection system as you can.

Long-term, you better find a spring or be ready to desalinate water at the beach.
