Having many ways to have clean water is a MUST!
Have a water filter system and other ways to use in an emergency.
I Made my own system from watching a Youtube video. Just used 2 buckets and a Berkey Water System Replacement Filters. Not too hard. I bought some silver spray paint thinking that I would paint them to make them kind of look better, but I like the buckets as they are - they have measurements down the sides.

There are so many ways to have lights off-grid or during a power outage. One of my favorites is to use kerosene lamps. I have so many of them. Plus I inherited a few from my dad. This was one that he had sitting in his living room! Still sitting there and I use it a lot. He made this one out of a Mason jar. He just used one of these Oil LAMP Burner kit that just screws onto the Mason jar. Super easy way to have a kerosene lamp.
