Okay water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon, more than diesel.
For boondocking, I think it makes sense to teach your crew to conserve water. The example of 100 gallons per day is out of control.
We can stay for a week with a 35 gallon tank, and 5 gallons of drinking water.
Backpacking teaches people to get by on a gallon a day per person.
I like solar showers. I usually heat water on the stove instead of firing up the 5 gallon hw heater. Do whatever you want, but realize what is possible.
