Water Bottles & Storage

Water Bottles & Storage — Carry, Store, Distribute

Water needs to move between source and use. SRO's Water Bottles & Storage collection covers reusable bottles (Nalgene since 1949), insulated drinkware, water bladders, long-term storage containers, and the carry systems for daily and emergency use.

Bottle categories

Daily-use reusables (Nalgene 1L wide-mouth, the standard for outdoor and lab use since 1949). Insulated drinkware (Klean Freak, High Camp Flasks for cocktails). Hydration bladders for pack-integrated carry. Long-term sealed bottles (Ready H2O 20-year shelf life). See the broader Water & Hydration collection.

Storage capacity by household

FEMA recommends 1 gallon per person per day, minimum 3 days. A family of four needs 12 gallons minimum, ideally 28 (2-week supply). Pre-bottled 20-year water (Ready H2O) covers the long-term reserve; reusable bottles cover daily use.

Pair with Water Filtration & Purification, Chemical Treatments, and Emergency Foods.

Minimum water carry kit: one 1L Nalgene per person for daily use, plus a 3-day reserve in sealed storage. Build outward based on household size and trip duration.
