How Much Water To Store?

[Mortblanc]

There is also some confusion arising from definition of "bug in" not being uniform.

Some consider "bug in" as being sealed in their urban flats with no outside excursions.

Others consider it locking the doors during daytime and emerging to look, loot and dump rubbish at night.

Others consider it staying around the house and not traveling farther than the nearby fields.

My own situation is considerably different from most of the members here, in that I live in a rural area, face no looting threats, have 2500 gallons in underground tank and live 200 yards from a two mile long lake.

The only reason I can imagine that I would be confined to the house for more than the duration of a good snow storm would be in hazmat situation, epidemic, or nuclear war, either of which would probably kill me and everyone else before the food ran out.

Any other situation would see me out and about the neighborhood more than I am now.
