30+ Tips for Coping Without Running Water<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Every prepper worth their salt stores water and lots of it.\u00a0 Not only that, they store one, two, three or more ways to purify water.\u00a0 That is all well and good because you never know when a disaster or other disruptive event may occur and those water resources will be called upon for drinking, cleaning, hygiene, and sanitation purposes.<\/p>\n

Recently, my number came up and I was the one without water during a short term, personal water apocalypse.\u00a0 Now really, that may be a bit dramatic because I was simply without running <\/em>water.\u00a0 This was caused by a break in the line from the water main at the street to my home.\u00a0 All told, I was without running water for 12 days.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I was quite relaxed about the ordeal.\u00a0 After all, I had cases of bottled water for drinking, a 55 gallon water barrel holding purified water, a source of raw, unfiltered water from a gravity pump right outside my house, and of course, my Berkey<\/a>, LifeStraw Family<\/a>, SolarBag, and pool shock<\/a> for water purification.<\/p>\n

Still, being without running water brought up issues I had not considered.\u00a0 Albeit water-ready, the reality of not being able to turn on the tap and have fresh, and especially hot, water was a new experience.<\/p>\n

Today I share tips for coping without running water so that you can be better prepared if something similar happens to you.<\/p>\n
