Emergency Essentials 55 Gal. Water Barrel

I wanted 2 water barrels for water storage and they had to be brand new. I visited a local preppers expo and all they had were used barrels and they were priced about the same as your new barrels. It was a no brainer to order from Walmart.

This drum came exactly as described and will make a world of difference for me while hauling water to drink and cook with. I was hauling gallon jugs to a relatives house, filling, carrying back out to my vehicle then hauling home and carrying 6 or 7 cases to inside the house. Now we can take these drums (I also bought the drum with kit) and fill them at the water company (only 50 cents a drum) and fill my jugs from there which is so much easier. I am a little concerned on how long the plastic pump will last though. And it cost around $65 to get the hose to hook on at the water company but it is an excellent investment and well worth the money. We plan on making a skid and setting the 2 drums on it to make it easier to get off of with the truck (I have to fill the jugs up out of 1 drum while it is still on the truck, then set it off, and then fill the full drum into the empty drum to get it off of the truck)that way I can fill when the are on the ground. All in all they are a great price for the money and a great investment.
