Beginner Prepper’s Journey: Week 3 – Water Preparedness 🚰
Welcome to Week 3: Securing and Purifying Water
I hope last week was productive as you built your 72-hour kit! Remember, if you’re new to Skool, be sure to start from Week 1 so you don’t miss any critical steps. This week, we’ll dive into one of the most important aspects of survival: water preparedness.
Water is essential for life, and having a plan to secure, store, and purify water during an emergency is critical for long-term survival. Let’s make sure you’re prepared!
Why Water Preparedness Matters
- The human body can only survive about three days without water.
- In emergencies, access to clean water can be disrupted, so knowing how to store and purify water is vital.
- Water is not just for drinking; you’ll need it for cooking, hygiene, and first aid.
Tasks for Week 3
1. Calculate Your Water Needs
- Plan for at least 1 gallon per person per day for drinking and basic needs.
- Multiply this by the number of people in your household and the number of days you want to prepare for (start with 3 days, then build up).
2. Start Storing Water
- Clean Containers: Use food-grade containers, cleaned with soap and water.
- Store Safely: Keep water in a cool, dark place away from chemicals.
- Label and Date: Mark containers with the date of storage to track freshness.
3. Learn Water Purification Methods
- Boiling: The simplest and most reliable method. Boil water for at least 1 minute.
- Filtration Systems: Invest in a portable water filter like a LifeStraw or Berkey system.
- Chemical Treatment: Use water purification tablets or unscented household bleach (4-6 drops per gallon of water).
- DIY Tips: Learn how to make a basic sand or charcoal filter.
4. Test Your Plan
- Spend one day using only stored or purified water. Note any challenges and adjust your plan as needed.
- Share your experiences and tips in the community to help others.
💡 Tips for Success
- Start Small: Even a few gallons of water storage can make a difference. Build up over time.
- Think Versatility: Have multiple purification methods on hand for different scenarios.
- Rotate Regularly: Replace stored water every 6 months to ensure freshness.
🤔 Reflection Questions
At the end of the week, reflect on:
- How much water does your household realistically need?
- What was the easiest method of purification for you to use?
- What improvements can you make to your water preparedness plan?
Write your answers in your journal to stay accountable and track your progress.
🗓️ Next Week: Get ready to focus on building a basic emergency food stockpile to complement your water preparedness plan!
