If space is limited and you want to have water some of these will fit under a bed, also good for hauling water back from remote locations.  Use with care, water weighs a little more than 8lbs. a gallon.

The suggestion about water bladder was a perfect solution.  Affordable and doable

 Thanks

Corky have you ordered from this company? If so how long did you have to wait for your order? Thanks

Wow, great idea. However just the other night I almost killed myself carrying 80 lbs of water up my stairs. For this water bladder, even if I were to get the smallest one, there is no way I could get it from the sink to under the bed. It would weigh more than I do.

Bones,

My friend has ordered and says they took about a week to deliver.  I'm looking at getting another and the 60 gallon tough one looks good to me.

 

Justme,

You don't carry these bladders, put it place and fill it with a hose when needed.  The bladders are for for storing water just before you lose power.

Corky, I just might have to order one. I have a fear of running out of water to drink  . Will have to wait till next week.

The above is another handy little goodie from the RV world.  The device lets you hook a regular garden hose to all kinds of water sources.

Corky52

Thanks for the suggestion and the link.  Just ordered one! Ideal for city living (San Francisco) when storage is limited. No need to fill until it appears necessary. Cost is better than other items and not much storage when unused.

Lancer,

Cheap, safe and compact way to store is to get a piece of PVC pipe with end caps.  I use white 3" pipe about 38" long, roll the bladder up and slide in.  Also makes the bladder quick and easy to grab and carry.
