by the author of The Prepper’s Water Survival Guide and  the online course, Build a Better Pantry on a Budget One of the most common questions I get from folks who don’t live on a large property in a rural area is how to store a lot of water for a long-term emergency. First, let me give you a harsh reality check. If the crisis goes on long enough you will run out of stored water. So this is only a portion of your water preparedness plan. You also need to know how to acquire and filter more water. But that’s beyond the purview of this article. Let’s talk about how to store a lot of water in a smaller space and how much water you need. How much water do you need for emergencies? There’s a “rule” that preppers often quote that suggests you need one gallon of water per person and pet per day in the event of emergencies. That is a decent basic guideline but there are other variables to consider too. Some pets, for example, certainly aren’t going to require an entire gallon of water while larger livestock will need more than a gallon on hot days. This amount doesn’t take into consideration things like the climate, whether people will be doing strenuous work, or if certain health conditions are in play. It also doesn’t cover the water you’d need for personal hygiene, sanitation, or your garden. The best way to calculate how much water you truly need is to go without running water for a weekend and jot down every drop you use from your stash. For more information on calculating how much water you’ll need for emergencies, check out this article and this one. How to store a lot of water Below, find some options for storing a significant amount of water. Water Barrels I live in an apartment building as of the writing of this article, and there isn’t a whole lot of extra space for water storage. I purchased a 65-gallon food-safe barrel for $15 from a lady on Facebook Marketplace. The barrel had initially held pickles long ago but she’d used it in her garden to collect rainwater for quite some time, so by the time it got to me, any residual pickle-y smell was long gone. I keep it on my patio and opted for a color that blends in with the brick of my building. Nobody has paid any attention to it in the year and a half I’ve had it. The bonus to something like this is that I have a second top for it with a screen that I could use for water collection if things went really sideways. To wash a barrel like this, if you don’t have a hose, visit a DIY car wash and bring your own dish soap. To fill it, I simply filled a 3-gallon container in my kitchen and walked it out until the barrel was full. Mine doesn’t have any bells and whistles. I’d need to dip water out with a clean ladle if it came to using this for consumption. But if you have the money to do so, you can get “upcycled” water barrels on Amazon that have spigots and water catchment conversion kits delivered to your door within a couple of days. You can also pick up rain barrels at many local hardware stores. Just make sure it comes with a solid lid you can put on for storage and you’ll be all set. Please note that water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon. That means that my filled barrel weighs almost 540 pounds, not including the weight of the barrel. Be sure that the place you plan to keep your barrel can withstand the weight. Bathtub water bladders Another place you can store water in a smaller space is the bathtub. I suggest a Water Bob (100 gallons) or an Aqua Pod (65 gallons) for this. These are BPA-free plastic bladders that attach to the faucet of your tub to fill with water. Once the bladder is full, then you detach it from the faucet and put on the cap. This closed container keeps your water safe and free from contamination. Obviously, you need to know the emergency is about to happen to use a bathtub water container. These are great if a storm is blowing up or some other type of crisis is imminent. IBC Totes Another option, if you have the space and an area that can hold around 2500 pounds, is a food-grade IBC Tote. These are large, 275-gallon plastic cubes that come in a metal cage for added support. They’re not cheap but you can sometimes find a reconditioned one. I kept a couple of these when I lived in California. The unit itself weighs around 150 pounds. This company sells them new for about $400 at the time of publication. Make absolutely sure that you look for one that is food-grade if you’re getting this to hold water for human consumption. The others are not made for potable water but might be fine for livestock or sanitation, assuming they haven’t held something toxic in the past. Be aware that many refurbished ones that are not food-grade have held things like fuel or antifreeze, and you should not use those for any survival water purposes. I also recommend checking out the accessories for these and getting some spares. It would be a real shame to store that much water and not be able to access it due to a bad spigot. A good place to store these is in a basement (if you have an entrance big enough), a garage, or a back patio. If you live someplace where the water might freeze, leave plenty of room for expansion. How do you store large amounts of water? Do you have a water strategy not mentioned here that would work in smaller spaces? Are you using any of these methods for water storage?

The UK's New 'Islamophobia' Law is Widely Panned

Disney appears desperate to alienate those among its remaining fans unwilling to go along to get along with gender ideology and the LGBT activist agenda. While this is certainly true of the approach it has taken with its film output, the company is apparently also working hard on disenchantment at its theme parks. A park-goer recently disclosed to That Park Place, a publication that has chronicled Disney's decline and corresponding ideological capture, that he spotted a transvestite cutting children's hair and applying makeup at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World. The boutique gives makeovers to guests ages 3 to 12. "I'm glad I was wandering the park with my son when this happened," said the unnamed park-goer, who substantiated his sightings with photographs. "My niece did get her hair done by a man named Hector wearing a dress at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. "We also have another picture of a male cast member in an Alice in Wonderland costume," added the concerned uncle. "I'm pretty sick and tired to see what is happening to the parks and the people who work there." According to Inside the Magic, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reopened after the pandemic with a new policy: Hairdressers at the boutique, previously called "Fairy Godmothers in Training," would now be called "Fairy Godmother's Apprentices." Moreover, men could now "participate in magical Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeovers." 'The illusion is broken.' Last year, a video went viral showing a mustachioed man in a dress engaging with children at the Disneyland boutique in Anaheim, California. Conservative writer and author Peachy Keenan tweeted at the time, "This salon, which I have used several times, is for little girls ages 4-10. It is a delight from start to finish, and one of the cutest things to watch. A true 'Disney magic' immersive experience — one of the very few left at the park." "A man in drag is not only bizarre and inappropriate but it takes guests out of the 'show' — the illusion is broken," continued Keenan. "Nothing matters but the agenda and your 4 yo is a pawn they are happy to mindflay." Men in dresses aren't just cutting hair at Disney's parks. In some cases, they are recruited for leading female roles. A conservative Christian family tried their luck earlier this year and visited the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, hoping to make memories having wholesome fun together. The parents paid hundreds of dollars for a dinner at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and a meet-and-greet with the Evil Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." It didn't take the family long to realize they'd paid for a meet-and-greet with what was effectively a drag queen. "I said I wanted to formally complain about the Evil Queen being a man and that I felt very disrespected by Disney because this is not the sort of thing my family values and they didn’t give us any type of notice that this sort of thing was even a possibility," the father told That Park Place. That Park Place's Jonas Campbell previously told Blaze News that "if it weren't in a context where there were children present and it were something that was reasonably to be expected by guests of the Walt Disney Company — [a company] that has been so tied to traditional values for so long — then I think that there is a world in which that is acceptable in commerce." Blaze News recently reported that Disney has been outed actively looking for transvestite actors to star in its new "The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure" stage production at Hollywood Studios. Casting director Erika Ureña specified in her open call for actors that for the role of the "spirited, fun-loving, yet curious mermaid princess," the company was looking for a white woman or white male transvestite between the ages of 18 and 30. John F. Trent, the editor in chief of That Park Place, suggested to Blaze News that this "appears to be a continued pattern from the Walt Disney Company and its 'not-at-all-secret gay agenda' as the company's Latoya Raveneau confirmed in March 2022." "It is clearly trying to target small children, their families, and even adults in an attempt to warp their minds into believing this objective evil is normal or even good," added Trent.

The Honeymoon Is OVER: Even WaPo Op Ed Says Kamala Harris' Price Control Policy Is BAD

Friday Morning Minute

Modern readers perhaps know Fulvia primarily as the cuckolded wife of Mark Antony and Cleopatra's love rival. But this description falls far short of her figure. In fact, Fulvia was one of the most renowned and politically prominent ladies in antiquity during the final days of the Roman Republic. When she married Antony, her third husband in 44 BC, Fulvia was already a well-known figure in Roman society who carried a significant political clout which would have appealed to Antony at the time. As the last surviving members of two old families, Fulvia inherited a large fortune. Apart from being savvy on how to utilise her money, she was also savvy in capitalising on her link to the Roman past – both of which are useful to have especially in the turbulent political time in which she lived. Her first marriage to Publius Clodius Pulcher, a member of the very influential Claudian family, also contributed to her clout. Following Clodius’s murder, Fulvia married Caius Scribonius Curio, also a rising politician who died in Africa during the civil war. Her third and final marriage was to Mark Antony, magister equitum, consul, triumvir, and, eventually, Octavian’s greatest adversary.
