Saltwater - how to store

So my tank doesn't have easy access stored salt water. Any recommendations?

I am preparing for the Oh Shoot scenario and just making my life easier.

I have a 55g plastic drum. I plan on using that. But I'm going to use that for RO. Not salt.

I like the drum idea.. I have a 55 gal drum that I can rig the top to open so I can get a heater and I can run a SW rule pump in it to circulate..
