Or even waiting for your own.

Imagine you are an eight-man militia squad coming into a town, village, or subdivision with 300 survivors, many of them injured. What would you do?

From the looks of things, water seems to be in pretty short supply--and if you don't have water, you have nothing. A healthy person needs about two gallons of water a day for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene. The sick and injured, and those who are working, will need more.

Since I'm a member of your squad, I have with me two British Berkefeld water filters. That's good for about fifty or sixty gallons of water a day (provided the water has first been pre-filtered to remove the chunky stuff). You figure you need about a thousand gallons a day.

What would you do?
