Instead of jugs I prefer using 5 gallon buckets as they store inside each other so take up less room when empty. They're BPA free at Walmart and about $4. Home Depot has sealing lids with gaskets so they don't leak while you're driving. Walmart also usually has leftover 4 gallon square buckets in the deli for $1 each.
I have a small Brita water filter that supposedly filters out lead as well as micro organisms (but it filters so fast that I am a bit skeptical of their claims). Any brand that can be found on Walmart shelves or in stores that are everywhere makes getting replacement filters easier (and the smaller the pitcher the better). These also filter out the healthy minerals from water so that is one more reason I take a cheap multi mineral supplement to compensate.
Just a F.Y.I. If you go to a grocery store and buy a gallon of H2O, you’ll see an expiration date on the jug. Water doesn’t expire. The expiration date is because of the plastic the water is stored in. Over time, plastic breaks down, and from what I’ve read, chemicals can seep into your drinking water. This happens more rapidly in hotter climates than in cooler ones. You might want to purchase new water containers annually, or however frequently you think your circumstance would require. This won’t happen in a glass container, but of course the same size glass container would be heavy! ❤❤❤ blessings to you!
Great information, thanks for writing in! Yeah you are right, especially in the heat that plastic crap breaks down very quickly. Hope you have a great Independence Day 🇺🇸😎 -Kenny
@@susanolson3611 it changes a lot for me finding these water pumps, the money saved can be put to other uses. Definitely a game changer for me. Thanks for watching the channel! - Kenny

@@richb8796 I’m not sure what exactly that is. I am open to just about anything. Especially if I can save a dollar. Happy 4th of July, I appreciate the view and comment!- Kenny

@ARealLiveNomad the algorithm just threw you in my feed. This is my 3rd year full time in my 03 Ram Van w/turtle top. There's artesian wells sprinkled all over the UP where I am now. Highs in low 70's lows in low 50's. Spent last 16 days on Lake Huron, time for supplies, water and a hot shower. Man this is the sweet spot.
@@CptNemOO nice navigation! Yeah I am learning quick. A Ram Van makes a great van life rig. I would like to get something like it one day and build it out from start to finish. Thanks for tuning in, Huron does sound peaceful! Stay safe out there- Kenny
Great tip thanks 👍
Happy to pass on the information as it crosses my path. This one is HUGE for me and the dogs. A great way to save some money for us this summer!
Happy Independence Day and God bless America 🇺🇸

Good advice.
But I Always use an inline filter.
@@Always_sojourning a couple of eye drops of regular bleach will work also. Thanks for writing in!
Iowa has free water at the rest stops , and a lot have free dump stations for black tank

Not really I was pretty much rolling hills. We have a few higher spots next to the Mississippi river on a few bluffs, but that’s about it.
7 gallons weighs roughly 58 pounds. I absolutely cannot manage that with my back.
I HAVE BAD KNEES...I USE A DOLLY FOR HEAVIER THINGS LIKE 5 GALLON BUCKETS OF LIQUID...
At Wal-Mart, it's 30 cents per gallon to refill.
@@dannyoh2705 brilliant! I never knew that. Thanks for sharing the tip I will more than likely use that option here and there! -Kenny
Filter it
Invest in a atmosphere water generator for about two grand...never have to stop boondocks agian
