Milk jugs do you throw them away? I was thinking about it and I'm going to fill my empty milk jugs with
water. I know the jugs still smell like milk even after a good rinsing but hey,,, You're going to want to flush
the toilet do dishes and lots of other stuff other than drinking it. So what would be wrong with having 50 gallons of water in jugs that you were going to toss out? Only takes a minute or two good habit to get into.
Maybe a drop or two of bleach in each jug? Does anyone know how to get the milk smell out?

If anyone has a tips on the subject of storing water in milk jugs please post it.
The dog needs water too.

We keep several of them filled with water in the freezers as we empty space out. Freezers are FAR more efficient full than empty, more stuff frozen (even if it is water) is good.

As far as drinking, it will not taste especially great. But if that is your best option and SHTF, I expect it will work fine. But I am not so sure about your bleach barrel post. I hope others post in on that one because that does give me a few concerns.
