Re: Water filtration/disinfection/purification options

For my un-treated water I use Calcium Hypochlorite Since a 1lb bottle treats aprox 10K gallons of water , it goes a long way.

Re: Panic buying at walmar?

And, this isn't even close to what it could be... take away electricity and the SHTF comes out.

Being well supplied is more of a life style ... gotta know what to do with what you have and live with what you don't.
