I was interested to hear about this as well. I’ve been talking about independence with my man a lot lately and he’s running with it. He just upgraded our fresh water storage by a factor of three and next is a hardwired diesel generator and a diesel tank. I’ve been on the fence about going into a battery bank and solar.

He just upgraded our fresh water storage by a factor of three and next is a hardwired diesel generator and a diesel tank. I’ve been on the fence about going into a battery bank and solar. Not sure it’s worth it, except for our well pump. I always want to be able to get water out of our well, and what if diesel isn’t available? We do have excellent clean surface water not terribly fair away, but again, without fuel or electricity for a pump, it would be really hard to get it to our house.
How are you set up for water? Does your well need an electric pump?
Our pump was our achilles heel. We have a lot of water around us so if things got bad, it's easy to haul water, but that's really not ideal. The madness of the current world convinced us that this year was the year to finally bite the bullet and get the Bison Pump we've wanted for ten years or so now. Honestly, it's such a relief.

Oh those are interesting! How deep is your well? Ours is over 400ft.
Just saw that they go to 300ft :(
Our well is bit of a stinker, except for the excellent water lol. It’s also a really slow producer.
