Back to Basics: Water - Ep 226
- Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential areas of preparedness to build a strong survival foundation.
- This Episode: Kicking off with water — the most critical survival resource.
- Why Water Matters: You can only survive 3 days without it. It’s essential for drinking, hygiene, cooking, and first aid.
- How Much You Need: At least 1 gallon per person per day — more in hot climates or during high activity.
- Finding Water: Natural sources (rivers, lakes, rainwater), household sources (water heater, outdoor spigots), and creative options (dew collection, roof runoff).
- Purifying Water: Boiling, filters, purification tablets, and UV devices — always have backups.
- Storing Water:
- Short-Term: Store 2 weeks' worth per person in food-grade containers.
- Long-Term: Use 55-gallon drums or water bricks and rotate every 6–12 months.
- Water is life — store it, purify it, and plan ahead.
- Check your water supply this week — how much do you have stored, and is it enough?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
