Absolutely! I get it if you're stocking up for weather disasters to a degree, but the number of folks who rely strictly on bottled water is too high. Seems that some combination of advertising + fear and convenience have made it too enticing to use single-use water bottles, though. ☹️

I fill them, stick them into the canning pot, bring them to a boil for 15 minutes, and seal and date them about every 6 months.
We assume 16 liters is enough for a couple days, but I worry that it may only be enough for one day.
