Today we watch as Hyrum demonstrates some pretty cool moves he has learned.  He’s not gettin’ jiggy wid it, or doing the Hokey Pokey, or even wrappin’ with the boys; he is, however, showing us easy and straightforward methods of draining a water storage water barrel to gain access to the elixir of life– clean, and refreshing water.

Experts advise us that we should keep at least two weeks of water storage close at hand for emergencies, and that it should include one gallon of water per person per day. The use of this water storage would be for drinking, cooking, washing in, and other hygiene needs (like brushing your teeth). If food storage is important, water storage is doubly so. If there is any doubt as to the safety of the water, bleach can be added before drinking it in the amount of 1/8 of a teaspoon of chlorine bleach per gallon of water stored. As an additional safety measure, water may be boiled before drinking to eliminate microbial growth.
