Geocache Description:


This geocache was part of the GeoVenture Challenge: The Survival Test on August 25, 2012. The weekend event was hosted

by the Manitoba Geocaching association. Most of the 35 Geocaches placed during this challenge featured a survival type

question. An example of that question and the information that inspired that question may be below.

The entire series was designed to be a park and grab power series to be published after the event. Enjoy!

Q4: At home, which of the following is not a recommended source of emergency water?
 
  1. Hot water heater
  2. Freezer Ice
  3. Weeping Tiles
  4. Garden Hose
  5. Swimming Pool or Hot Tub
  6. Fish Aquarium
Answer: C. Weeping Tiles

Weeping Tiles? Water doesn't really collect there and in an emergency, you wouldn't have access to that area without some major excavating around your house. (Now, if you were planning to build a moat...)

All of the others are acceptable sources of water. You can drain the hot water heater, you can melt the freezer ice, you can drain a garden hose and take water from a pool, hot tub or fish aquarium. However, with all of the sources, you should probably consider treating and/or boiling the water depending on the useage.
