Water is the thing that quietly runs out on you — usually a day earlier than you planned. This hub covers working out your daily use, understanding what your tanks actually cost you in payload, and planning realistic reserves.
Work out your daily use
Before you can plan reserves, you need a realistic number for how much water your household actually gets through each day — showers, dishes, drinking and the dog's bowl all add up faster than people expect.
What your water costs you in payload
Water is heavy — a full 95L tank is nearly 100kg before you've loaded anything else. Knowing that number matters as much for payload as it does for how many days you can stay out.
How many days will it actually last
Run your tank size against your daily use to get a realistic number of days between refills, and check it against how long you can stay off-grid overall.
