Was hoping if you lot could help me with a couple of things. I've recently been discussing preparedness with my dad. Hes never really seen a need for it as him and my mum are of the 'we managed in the war (which they did), we'll manage now' attitude. But since that little ricin thing in London last week hes suddenly sat up and taken notice. What he wanted to know is; are there any hygiene/safety issues for long-term storage of clean drinking water in clean new unused steel 5 gallon jerry cans. He would treat it with plain bleach first. Hes thinking it would be useful to have 10 gallons of clean drinking prepared to sling in the back of the car if ever he and my mum had to evacuate and thinks that they would make good durable water transporters.
Secondly, over the past few months I've put together an altoids tin (PSK?) I was wondering if removing pills from their blister packs (immodium, nurofen etc) had any adverse effects on the lifespan of the drugs.
Cheers for any help on this
