I'm no paranoid whackjob who thinks the economy is going to collapse overnight, with martial law in place, and as a result I need to hoards a ton of supplies in my house to weather the storm. Boy it seems there are alot of paranoid-delusional folks out there right now.
SHTF=I do think the possibility is high that a natural disaster that could disrupt services for an extended period of time. #1 being a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, Ranier popping it's top, etc....
As a result I have been slowly growing my supplies to make sure I have the big 3 covered for my familiy in the event we need it. Last piece of the puzzle was water, and I thought I would share a pretty cool system I discovered recenty and just purchased.
I've been looking into the Katadyn purification systems for a while, but they are really spendy. I have a smaller MSR filter that will do up to about 300 gallons, but wanted a filter system that would work for 6-8 months if needed.

Looks like a very effective, economical filtration method in case any of you are looking for something similar.
Just buy the ceramic filter, sock, and spigot, then pick up a couple clean new buckets, and your set for under 50 bucks.
