I am happy to announce the first ever guest contributor to What Jared Sees. My good friend Jorge will be covering various topics in a weekly guest segment titled Will You Survive? Like myself, Jorge is a zombie, end-of-the-world, survival situation enthusiast and I am excited to see what he brings to the blog. So without further introduction, here's Jorge!
These Plastic Water Barrels are perfect for water storage. Water Barrels are available in 15 gal, 30 gal, and 55 gal sizes.
Store and carry safe water easily with this individually canned drinking water. The manufacturers use the same strigent specifications used by the U.S. Military plus enhancing it by adding the following stages: boiling the water before canning, vacuum sealing, followed by "cooking" the cans to eliminate any bacteria. Each can contains 24 fl oz. This water will survive severe conditions of extreme cold and intense heat for 30+ years.
Each Datrex Water Pouch Contains 4.2 oz. of refreshing water. Great for long-term storage needs. Easy to open--drink right from the pouch. Can double as ice packs for first-aid emergencies and more. Ideal for use in your 72-hour kits. Best if used within 5 years.
Aqua Blox are purified, commercially sterile drinking water boxes, aseptically packaged, with excellent taste. Water and packaging both comply with and surpass Federal standards for purified drinking water. Water is easily dispensed through attached, individually wrapped straw. When frozen, may be used as a first-aid cold pack for bruises, sprains, and other injuries. The boxes are longer lasting and significantly less expensive than freezable chemical cold packs. AQUA BLOX drinking water units are U.S. Coast Guard Approved.
The AquaPod Kit is easy to install and provides the safe water your family will need in the event of a contaminated public water supply. With up to 65 gallons and a convenient pump, the AquaPod Kit can provide a 14 day supply of water for basic needs for a family of four.
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SURVIVE?
Hello and welcome to the very 1st edition of “WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SURVIVE?”. This topic was made up for 1 reason and 1 reason only, to make you ask yourself if you would be able to survive anything that comes in your direction. This world isn’t perfect and because of that we should all be ready for whatever comes our way, anything from natural disasters to the unexpected loss of our commodities. Every blog that gets posted will have a specific subject and will make you think whether or not you are prepared. Remember, if you’re not thinking, you’re not surviving.
Our first topic of the day is “Water”. Without this natural resource, we wouldn’t be alive. Our bodies are made up of 65% to 75% of water. Depending on the situation or location, we might not be able to survive 1 day without it. It was once recommended to drink about 8 glasses of water a day, that’s a total of 64oz or close to 2 liters. This was before, now you have to take your weight into consideration along with the amount of daily exercise or if you might be injured or possibly pregnant. Either way, water is our #1 source of survival. Ask yourself this important question, ”If a natural disaster happened or the main water supply was suddenly shut off, will I be able to survive without it?” Some people have a water filtration system in their home so they can use the faucet to get their water while others might only rely on bottled water. Either method is good, but is there enough water stored? Water from a faucet is fine, but there is always a high risk that the water could be contaminated. On the other hand, water bottles can be stored and have a 2 year shelf expectancy before it is no longer drinkable.
Other methods of water storage are in blue barrels. These barrels can store gallons of water and come in different sizes. There are also water pouches or water boxes that have a 5 year shelf expectancy. Heck, I’ve even seen canned water for sale. The main point I am trying to get here is that if you’re not prepared, you might not make it. Having a few bottles of water around will do well. Being able to buy and store your own water supply will be better. Make sure you keep in mind anyone else that will need this water such as your family or pets. All in all, it does not hurt to be ready for the unexpected.
