Storing water long-term is a crucial part of emergency preparedness. The CDC recommends storing a gallon of water per person for three days. But when you have a large family like ours, that can quickly take up a lot of space! So my solution is to freeze dry water to reduce the shelf space and make it more practical!
Ok, ok, all joking aside. Freeze drying water doesn’t work. However, it is recommended to have water on hand in case of an emergency. If you’d like to learn more about how to store water long-term, check out that post.
Then, get ready to have a good laugh as I walk you through, step-by-step, how to freeze dry water in this video!
