Option #3 For extended periods of time in your house in city environments.
It is recommended you store 1 gallon per person per day. That does no include showering drinking only.
55 gallon water drums with a manual pump. Price is around $70.00
A cheaper option is to find them on Craig's list. Make shure it is food grade.
Another cheaper option is Walmart. They sell water containers 5-6 gallon for around $8.00.
Option #4 Toilets and Water heaters make shure you boil the water.
Option #5 If you live in the country rule areas etc. Rivers Lakes Streams and ponds. Never drink the water out of any of these places without boiling or filtering the water.
The reason I mention Rule areas and not city areas it could be to dangerous in certain situations to leave your homeif you live in larger cities.

One of the most important things to remember about survival is fitness.
Sure we all have 10,000 rounds of ammo 1000 gallons of water and enough
food to feed 100 people for a year. But survival situations take a heavy load
on the body and mind. If you have ever been camping, hunting, or fishing
by the end of the day you are extremely tired, sore, sunburnt and ready for bed.
All of us having the luxury of going home and going to bed. This is the time to get
prepared before it happens. Thirty minutes of walking a day eating right and stress
management are key to a healthy body and mind. In survival situations take the
stress levels x10. If you are older or overweight this can take a toll on your body.
Think you can hike 10 miles with a backpack, guns, ammo, and a kid on your back
and yes a wife that is cussing at you for forgetting the make-up kit in the
backpack [ stress management]
Also take into consideration dental work. I would recommend getting all work done
now. A small dental problem can turn into a life threating one if not treated.
Any meds you your wife or kids are taking. Go get a physical make sure you are in tip
top shape now dont wait.
