I had actually gotten pretty comfortable with my preps in the past couple years. So, instead of survival stuff (food, water, etc.) for TEOTWAWKI EMP (which is what got me started), I started focusing on mere economic collapse and family financial security (PMs, savings). But, I watched a water purification video on youtube, and I ended up lying in bed thinking through what if scenarios.
For water purity, I already had several different types of filters and purification equipment...all commercially ready stuff (e.g., Berkey, LifeStraw, etc.). If there is a way to purify water, I've looked into it.
Anyway, I decided that having an additional way to filter is not a bad thing. I went to Walmart, and bought some water filtration and water collection supplies. Instead of the commercial products, I decided to pick up some of the build-it-yourself supplies: activated charcoal, filtration sand, filtration pebbles, cotton filters. I'm also thinking about picking up some zeosand, and storing it in a bucket, and forgetting about it. The zeosand filters out much smaller particles than regular pool filter sand
WM had some clearance deals on ammo that I don't use, so keep an eye out if your looking to stock up your ammo.
