Am I reading this correctly? 40 gallons of water for 4 months? According to the mayo clinic males need about a gallon of fluids per day and females at about 3/4 of a gallon. If that is true you are gonna need a lot more storage I would think. Especially when you consider uses of water for cooking and cleaning.
We do need more eventually for sure but admittedly my math was a little generous there. The thought in an emergency is we would also fill all the tubs and sinks if we could and use that water for other needs. I really think we could stretch out 40 gallon of drinking water more than 2 gallons a day (i should drink more now but maybe drink 2 full 20oz yetis a day). Even with water used for freeze dried meals i bet we could cut that in half.
