    Happily, I can report that I've been successful in drumming up support from friends and family on this project. We had terrible red alert floods from Storm Francis on December 27 and January 4, so that has put more people on alert as to the importance of preparing for emergencies. I'll be doing another presentation to friends in about 4 to 6 weeks, which will be from Phase 2. I'm not sure yet what the presentation will be.

    There are two things I'm doing drills for in this phase - emergency lighting and living without water. I've done a three-day drill of emergency lighting and by the end I was totally adapted to it, with the added bonus of feeling grateful for having electricity, having lighting, having vision and having the mental ability to adapt to a new situation. All I did was put masking tape on all switches and used the emergency lights posted here. By the end of the three days, it was actually almost fun!

    So now it's on to Phase 2, and I'm well on my way already. I'll start a new thread for that shortly, and post a link in this thread.

    I hope you come back here for more. 😊

    Hi @Chris75_

    I've never recycled my own water. How do you mean? My plan is to try to live on a bottle of 8 L of water for 3 days.
