My Alaska Life

We also collect rainwater in the Spring, Summer and the Fall. If we needed, we could boil it and use it for drinking but mostly we collect it as a back-up to the spring water for things like washing and bathing. Jeff went ahead and put out barrels last week but at night it’s still getting below freezing and the water in the barrels froze. We won’t be able to use it until it gets above freezing long enough to melt the water again.
