GHB in truck- water storage

**mardo** · November 4th, 2008, 12:18 PM

All this survival talk has me thinking about a get home bag in the truck. How can I keep drinking water from freezing? And to keep it firearms realted, will freeze/thaw be detremental to spare ammo?

As for the ammo, there should be zero to little moisture content, so freezing should not be a problem.

As for the water, I let mine freeze. I have it stored in Nalgene bottles that can be frozen. And I don't have a problem. I let a little room at the top, but I don't have an issue. I have everything in my pack in ziplock bags, so if they do break, I hope I can contain it. But I just let them freeze.

since you cant drink frozen water, ill add that salt and alcohol will lower the freezing temprature of water. individually, i cant really speak for mixed

Somebody clarify something for me: Why are you carrying GHB(date rape drug) in your truck, and what , if anything does that have to do with water storage? Seriously, I am missing something here, but cannot figure it out. Senior moment, maybe, but then again, I have been looking at this for a couple days now and am still scratching my head. Bob

GHB = Get Home Bag = a container which holds the necessary tools and provisions to get one's self (and others) home from any given location. These packs (GHBs) are often located at one's place of work and in the trunk of one's vehicle so as to be readily available if circumstances require you to get home safely, securely, and quickly by foot or by vehicle.

The Get Home Bag is quite possibly the antithesis of the Bug Out Bag.

Not to be confused with the BOB, BIB, or BOK (bug out bag, bug in bag, and blow out kit respectively).

LOL I thought the same thing until I read the reply - Get home bag.
