In an emergency situation, water, shelter, food, communication, defense, and first aid are critical to have prepared for in advance to ensure you and your family survive.
This video shows you how I created an emergency water purification system that will provide a family of 4 with drinking and cooking water for as many as 8 years using the following items:
4- Black Berkey water filters ($204)

3- Food Grade 5 gallon buckets ($37)

2- stainless steel spigots ($22)

1- priming pump ($18)

This whole system cost me a total price of $280 to be able to filter 12,000 gallons of water and none of these components have a limited shelf life. Of course you could do this project for as little as $160 if you only got 2 filters, 2 buckets, 1 spigot, and one priming pump.
Some additional items that are part of this system:
- bleach (kills most of the germs before filtering)
- Scotch Bright pads (to clean particulates off filter)
- red food coloring (to test the system is working correctly)
