Looking for some ideas here... I just purchased some 55 gallon food grade drums to store emergency drinking water in but have to store them in an outside garage. During the winter months the garage temperature will drop below freezing as it is not heated. If SDHTF during the winter months I'd be screwed if they were frozen. The only thing I have been able to come up with is to fill them to about 80% to allow room for expansion, cover them with a tarp & then put R30 insulation around them. Does anyone have a better idea or solution to the problem? I've tried researching it on the net but haven't been able to find a easy non-energy solution.
