I have 3 blue Walmart 7 gallon jugs and another random 6 gallon one... I got those a few years back when we had our trailer for our trip out west. Carried them in the back of the truck... along with 2 generators and a TON of other stuff - half of which I never used. I was WAY overprepared.
I still take an empty jug with me in the motorhome along with a small 12volt pump - just in case.
All total, I can carry 67 gallons fresh... but the real problem is gray water. Funny... in most of Europe it's legal to dump gray water, but NOT in the U.S. I guess there's too man sketchy characters who would dump EVERYTHING - since lots of "inconsiderates" have a nasty habit of leaving their trash in the fire ring - beer cans and all.
One of our favorite boondocking spots in Ohio was a former coal strip mining area. It was managed by the power company in the area, but recently handed over to the state of Ohio. It's beautiful... completely regrown. They have hand well pumps at several locations, and small culvert style drains where it's permitted to dump gray water ONLY.
But when Covid hit, it became "party city" with NO effective management... drugs & all - you know the drill. From what I hear it's REALLY gone downhill - and dangerous. So sad.
But back on topic... southeastern Ohio is a beautiful place if you like hilly wooded areas... which we do. Since we got out of the "big city", I think we've grown roots here.
