I've got about two years worth of food stocked, a few thousand rounds of ammo, all the meds I can get my hands on and a 28 terabyte NAS full of movies, music, books, games ect. But most importantly I have a huge garden and greenhouse, tons of fruit trees and access to fresh water with no one up stream of me. The only thing I don't really have is power security, I do have a generator hooked up to a thousand gallon tank but I really need some solar. I also have a few friends who plan to use my place as their bug out location so with any luck I'll have a community too.
Started seriously planning it about 10 years ago. Took a while to find the right place but about 6 years ago I bought the property from a couple of other prepers who had been setting the place up for about 15 years. Since then its been a ton of learning on how to be self sufficient.
On the subject, does any one know a good way to source meds? Right now basically all I have is getting animal antibiotics but no real access to anything else.
During the spring with the rains and snow melt the stream runs fast and few feet deep but the rest of the year it's only about a foot deep so I doubt I could do much more then run a few lights off it most of the time.
True but last i looked into it hydro even on a small scale is fairly expensive to set up the money would probably be spent on even more food security or just saved till I can afford the solar.

That sounds like a good setup, this is my goal once I can find a decent place. How long have you been working on that?

Your friend
do you have enough running water for micro hydro power generation? a lil pelton wheel maybe?

a few lights is something

Stealing solar panels is free
