Just realized my 55 gallon water barrels went bad in 8 months because I forgot one step, and fixing it took me 3 weekends | Apocalypse Prep Talk - Opinions Matter
Spent 3 weekends fixing water barrels when I could've just read the directions once, so I feel your pain. My version of "one step" was forgetting to clean them before filling, which taught me that shortcuts always cost more time later. At least now we both know what not to do, even if we learned it the hard way.
