> Water is harder to store in the winter since it will freeze and burst containers if full, but snow can be melted given a container to put it in.
Emergency drinking water that comes in foil pouches seems to survive freezing; I’m not sure if it’s a requirement of the ISO standard they have to conform to for use on survival craft (I don’t want to pay $250 for the ISO standard just to find out).
I keep an emergency supply of these in my car through Colorado winter and summer, without any issues:
The datrex drinking water is rated for 5 years, and it tastes the same — like distilled water — 1 or 5 years in. It's nice to actually be want to drink it in a non-emergency situation if you just need some water.
Dunno why is this downvoted -- put an emergency plastic water bottle in your car during summer season and let me know if you would be able to drink the resulting mush, even in an emergency.
