Garden, water, food storage.
A GOOD well is a must have. Must be able to give the family water and water crops.
Way of storing food long term without electricity. Insulated underground food storage.
I think of what I would need if everything went to shit and I had to take care of my family.
Guns are also useful. It can feed a family fast and easy!
I'm really excited for you and your adventure!
Yes sir're HANK! thanks for sharing, and your enthusiasm!!!
I too have all this planned as well my self.
I have a well being installed closer to house finishing due to financial aspect of getting my well drilled.
I have my garden location cleared already as well and have began amending the soil there. I have very acidic soil so I may not be planting in it till next year when its ready but I will be gardening in raised beds this year for my veggies.
I will have rain water catches and trenchs/ berms for directing water to the garden as well.
we will have chickens, goats, pigs and a couple acre orchard.
as for guns I have a fair amount but could always use more here!!!!
im just all around trying to bring my prepper side out. ive read many books now about all the aspects of being prepared for the "END" of the world as we know it, as well as my learned knowledge being raised hunting, fishing and surviving off the land.
I would like to make this thread just all round about prepping in general, what ever we have on our minds in relation to eco building, solar panels, veggie gardening, animal husbandry ect...
I had to burn a few more stumps out this weekend, ill be leveling my pad in the next weeks time to come.
hope every one has a great week!!
peace
