I'm single but my family thinks I'm nuts for prepping and when it happens they will come running to me. I also have 2 apple trees a mulberry tree and buying a barlet pear next week.

    I live in semi-arid Northern Country, Victoria, and every homestead around here has water tanks (large cisterns) fed by rainwater roof catchments. I have 40, 000 litres of this type of storage capacity, and it will never be lost through evaporation, because it's in a closed tank. Every time it rains, it's topped up from my roof, which is 100 square metres of corrugated sheet metal.
    These types of water supply systems have been built here in Australia forever. My great grandpa was a plumber, he moved to Australia from England in about 1896 and made his living building these sorts of systems on the Kalgoorlie Goldfields, in West Australia. By the time he was old, he was a wealthy man and bought a small estate with a manor house on it, that he ran as a small off-grid homestead. That's where my Dad grew up (he was an orphan) on Pa's Ranch, during the Great Depression, and they were hardly affected at all! They were living like rich folks in a big manor with house cows, ducks, chickens, fruit trees, vegetables, you name it! Pa made his living in retirement supplying the local grocery store with fresh fruit and vegetables and there was never a lack of anything!
    BTW, when he was a small boy, Pa grew up in Shepherd's Bush, London, and the conditions of his childhood were positively Dickensian! So, he started with nothing but got an education, then a Plumber's apprenticeship, and worked his way up from there!

    I was camping with my mates back in 1990 in Australia.
    We went for a walk in the bush and got lost.
    It was a hot sunny day and the thirst that we had for water was insane.
    We were fit surfer guys, but increasingly became a bit worried.
    We were sunburnt and needed water pretty bad.
    We got real lucky when we found a water tank with working tap.
    Then a car came by and the people helped us back to camp.
    A long story. But ive never been so thirsty.
    Water is number one in my preps.

      I live in Australia and come from a multi-generational homesteading family. If you're ever lost in the Aussie Bush (probably works for any forest, BTW) keep walking downhill. Even a slight downhill gradient will eventually lead you to a valley bottom and even if it's dry, keep walking downhill, along the valley bottom. You will eventually come to a Spring, a Pond or a Flowing Creek! Either way, you've found water and your life has been spared!
      When you've drunk your fill, keep following the stream downhill, you'll eventually come to either a bridge (a road) or a town. You can hail a lift into town from the road or get help from the town, either way, you've found your rescue and are no longer lost!!!
      This is easy advice to remember, and may well save your life one day, so remember it!
      God Bless!!!

    What will you do in winter? The majority of water has to be drained, with the remainder a frozen block of ice. The inner liner also will tear... Been there, done that. If it were me, I'd dig a pond. As a hard core prep/homesteader for 15 years in far Northern Ontario, watching your newer videos are where theory meets reality. Good job showing the mistakes along with what works! People need to be shown the crazy time involved, the high set up cost and the inevitable disappointment, when a good idea goes south. Most times it's revise, rethink, redo and never repeat, but once it works the rewards are worth it. You can't learn it, unless you do it. My kids spent 4 years swimming safely in the back yard and in fire season it was a great resource, but as a 'once done' potable water source, it was a nightmare. Seriously Nat, dig a pond.

    If the pool is 10,000 gal, that's equivalent to 40 of those 250 gal/1000 liter totes. The pool is a great idea. If you have a large property, I'd look for a used pool for water storage only. But it's seasonal if you live somewhere cold - I would assume ice would expand and split one of those pools in halves.

    I've had a off grid homestead for years now, and I've tried all sorts of ideas. Any water stored in anything but a proper rain water tank is useless, due to algae growth. Then for showers, toilets, washing, and general farm use, a bore , with a large header tank can't be beaten, fitted with a Solar bore pump, running uphill, so the tank is up high. No power needed, but water 24 hours a day. Works great. And we are in a dry, hot area, central Qld, Australia.

    • @kevfit4333

      Anything with a large surface area, like a pool, is going to evaporate off a lot of water over time in a hot place. Where I live in Ireland it wouldn't evaporate for most of the year but it would go green with algae in about a month or two. I don't fancy drinking pool chemicals. Black ibcs in the shade are the cheapest and most reliable way to store lots of water.

I have found that the pump is important, a submersible, of the impeller type, not the rubber screw with the stainless steel worm screw type, as they don't last long. About 12 months for the screw type, verses 10 to 12 years for the impeller type. And with the soft start solar pumps , they are great for solar.

    Better to put a 15’ pool in your basement.

    A fifteen foot pool holds about 15,000 gallons, around three truckloads.
    Keep it covered and dark, and check the condition occasionally.
    I was part of grading out a huge area to display pools.
    All they needed was several pads of concrete.
    We leveled out probably a 1/4 acre hunk of ground.
    The pool pads were formed and poured first, then the spaces between were all filled with more concrete, making it easy for customers to view the pools.

    With thick-walled fire-tanks, you only need minimal ground-prep, and save for a wild-fire they'll last forever.
    Added benefit: no bugs or contaminants can get in: fill, close and forget.
    Added benefit: they come with brass BSP outlets that you can attach any hose arrangement to.

    I moved a 35 year old Ester Williams pool from my now late father-in-laws to my bother-in-laws. It was then used for another 10 years. Except for a couple of rotted aluminum panels and steel parts it was ok. Nate is right. You need lots of extra hands and it was still a bugger to assemble.

    If you went with a salt water system for above ground pools it won't freeze as easy in winter. Ours barely freezes on the top layer even in sub zero temps for weeks.

    • @Mrs.LadeyBug
      @Mrs.LadeyBug หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Interesting! How much salt/gallon? How low do your temperatures get? The only issue with that is you’d have to desalinate for using it for other purposes, since this is basically a water storage unit.
      It didn’t appear that CP addressed how he was going to use it in winter. Having it indoors or in a greenhouse would be good. It would help regulate the temperature of the building as well as keep the water from freezing.

      BAD idea if you want to drink it. You cannot put Salt water through a water filter. Well you can, but you'll plug it up VERY fast... like 1 or 2 gallons instead of 500 or 1000 gallons.

    Yeah, those pools are a bit of a pia/hassle. I actually pictured you as more of a "Lap Pool" kind of guy a/k/a the kind of Lap Pool that actually features a current that you can dial up/down and swim against the current. Only problem with lap pools is that they're a bit pricey/over priced, however, you can sometimes find used ones fairly cheap on fbmp. That said, at least with the current pool, you've got a sht ton of emergency drinking water.

    Thanks for the video, Nate. Yes, a pool would be nice to have especially for recreation, a pond will do just as well and have a location for food source fish, frogs, cattails, and a way to trap/hunt wildlife. Have used ours for various ways and yes it can be filter for drinking water. Just make sure you have good ways to filter, treat and then if still concerned boil it. IBC totes and storage tanks are great and if set up properly no pump is needed unless you want pressurized water system which is also easily done. Just remember in a SHTF event you will not have the luxury for being too picky or squeamish, so keep it simple.

    What? If you built your off grid place from scratch, why on Earth did you not build a cistern under part of it??? I have a 15,000 gal cistern under my front patio and a little way under the house. For the amount of rain in my area, only once in 8 years have I have to pay for a water truck for a 5,000 gal delivery to replenish. Most of the time it's 75% full and other times it overflows into the garden.

    Nate,
    I put up a pool this year and had similar looking water (mine was more brown) after the iron precipitated out of my well water. I tried filter socks from a company called AquaBag that I ordered online. They really did work as advertised. Used the FE first and then the polishing one. Had to rinse out the FE bags several times as they got dirty. Water looked perfectly clear in 2 or 3 days without chemicals except maybe some clarifier. I used a submersible sump pump with the bag zip tied onto the discharge hose. My wife couldn't believe it worked (I'll admit I was skeptical). Hope that helps someone.
