For 2 people that is 28 gallons before a single flush. After the January 2009 ice storm, 100,000 Arkansas customers were still without power a week later, and on a well the water stops the minute the power does. Hank went 19 days on his ridge that winter, and his fortnight was lost on day three. Subscribe to the channel: @hankdockery In this video, we talk about 9 things a house needs to last 14 days without power, counted down by the day each one runs dry, including headlamps and lanterns counted in nights on the low setting, why candles stay out, the NOAA weather radio and a power bank charged off the truck outside, the one message to the family, two appliance thermometers and masking tape on the fridge door, the camp stove bottle arithmetic and why the bottles live outside, 2 weeks of what the house already eats for about $120, a bucket toilet when the well stops, one warm room with the doors shut, why a generator that starts is not a generator that carries a well pump, stale gas and stabilizer, and 28 gallons of water in four 7-gallon jugs. 🔔 Subscribe so the next one reaches you before the ice does. 💬 Comment where you're watching from and how many days of water are in your house right now, counted, not guessed. 📢 Send this to somebody on a well who has never counted their water, on Facebook, Reddit or the family group chat.
