Best place to buy prepardness materials

[goofball]

I know the grocery store is what everyone is thinking when they read the title of this entry. However I am more interested in purchasing a water drum and was wondering if anyone has bought one before and would recommend it.

Thanks

I saw this cool site:

Emergency Essentials - Be Prepared Emergency Preparedness Food Storage

It has lots of great stuff and I think it has an emergency prep checklist too.

Emergency Essentials - Be Prepared Emergency Preparedness Food Storage is offering a special right now where you get a free siphon if you purchase one or more water barrels. You need to type the word "siphon" in the box somewhere when you order it. You don't order the siphon, you type the word in. It's part of their March catalog specials.

Go to Emergency Essentials - Be Prepared Emergency Preparedness Food Storage (click on the link). Right away you'll see a picture of the catalog and it says "click here to view our monthly catalog". Click on that. Then you'll see number 1, 2, 3, 4, .... the water barrels and free siphon info is on page 36.

I like how they have deals on things you can buy as a group. Pretty cool.

If you are near a Macy's grocery store, they are also having a big sale on those water storage containers as well as the large blue plastic 50gal drums.

One of my favorite things about Emergency Essentials (besides all their great products) is their shipping rates:

Up to $60.00 $6.00

$60.01-$120.00 $9.00

$120.01 or more $12.00

Shipping based on contiguous 48 states

So, you could order a couple thousand pounds of wheat, honey, rice, sugar, beans, etc. and it's $12.00 for the shipping.

The other cool thing about their shipping rates is that when you order the months specials the shipping is free on ALL of your orders with the specials included. We get together with others to make a big order and never have to pay shipping.

I have ordered from Emergency Essentials many times. I have received pallets of food and grains and the total shipping price was $12. Great prices and even better shipping. Not worth driving to Utah to pick it up when I can get it for $12.

I've shopped at EE many times.

I got a bunch of used 55 gal plastic water drums (they had transported coca-cola syrup once) for a bunch less money. A quick google search gives you a ton of options.

I've put together a 72 hour kit list by priority that may help some folks when putting their own kit together ....

remember water is HEAVY! If you get large 55 gal barrel it is Not moving! Be sure to get the hand pump to get the water out! You get what you pay for. Buy the best you can afford. If you can't afford barrel...........get the mylar bags emergency essentials has them. they have a "plug" only a few gallons. Put in a cardboard box to store many. re usable
