WATER MODULE

Water is an important part of “The Big 3 of Survival” (Food, Water and Shelter). The human body can only
survive three (3) days without water. For this Water Module, I wanted to leverage “The Rule of Three” with regard
to water filtration/purification, storage and physical water. I have three methods of filtering water and three
storage containers for the water. During an emergency situation, you can assume that some of your preparedness
measures will fail you for whatever reason. If that were to happen, the rule of 3 would help ensure that you backup
plan and your backup to the backup plan is still usable. I also wanted to make the gear for this module as light as
possible, without sacrificing quality, since water itself is so heavy (e.g., 1 liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds / 1 kg).
The system I have was designed to allow for many liters of water to be stored and little effort needed for the
filtration process.

ITEM TYPE PRICE COMMENTS


I prefer to have at least 2 liters of actual water stored
in my emergency kits. This is to avoid having to
immediately need to search for water in an emergency
situation. Water stored in glass bottles does not need
as frequent rotation as plastic bottles, but the weight
1 Liter Water Bottles x 2 Water $2 is greater.
This storage cube is in the color blue, which is the
color I designate for "Water" based on my video called
"The Color of Prepping". This is to help make it easier
eBags Small Packing Cube to find my water module based on color association
(Denim) Storage $7 alone.
Equinox No-see-um Mosquito I used this as a first phase in water filtration. Also
Net Filtration N/A could be used as a small mosquito net.
Guyot Designs 32-oz Water Container for storing water. Since it is single walled
Bottle Container $20 stainless steel, it can also be used for boiling water.
Jones Stephens J40-005 Four Tool used for obtaining water from industrial
Way Key Tool $7 buildings. Urban "must have" tool for emergency kits!
MSR Aquatabs Water Water is my primary survival need and I prefer to
Purification Tablets Purification $8 have multiple ways of filtering/purifying it.
This is a convenient method for carrying and drinking
water while remaining on the move. Lots of bladder
Platypus Big Zip SL 3-Liter options available, but the Platypus is my current
Hands-Free Hydration System Container $35 favorite.
This is an option add-on to the GravityWorks Filter
System. Carbon helps improve the taste of filtered
Platypus Gravity Works water in addition to chlorine, sediment volatile
Carbon Element Filtration $13 organic compounds and odor.
I know, I know. This filter is EXPENSIVE! But it is
AWESOME. I decided to make the investment after all
of the rave reviews. This system allows you to have up
to 8 liters of water at your emergency site and you
don't need to do anything for the filtration process.
Just set it up and let gravity do the work for you. Pump
based systems are more affordable, but take time and
energy each time you need to use it. Those are two
Platypus GravityWorks 4.0L things (time and energy) that I would prefer to focus
Filter System Filtration $100 on other things during an emergency situation.
