1.5 a day for washing is hilariously wasteful. Use some wet wipes for crying out loud!

How do you wash your clothes and dishes with wet wipes?

Also you need to clean your home - you don't want to get sick in a catastrophe scenario.

1.28gal for toilet flushing the most efficient toilets. 1.6gal for normal and it can be worse for older ones.

I was on a hike that recommended 1 gallon to complete it for 5 miles round trip.

I’m sure there is a method to the madness of 8 gallons per person that isn’t easy to see. There is a lot of rounding up with the military also.
