@Loving Life,
Good to see you again!
Was looking though a cook book the other day and you came to mind.
As for water, I have several Platypus water bladders, one of which is a filter.
Canning jars! Great idea!
It rained the other day, the ponds are pretty full, and the brook was up to its banks and flowing fast.
I have about a dozen 5gal buckets. But those are mostly for the livestock.
