Giving A Self Sufficient Crapola!

Resilience

So, you’re getting into this self sufficiency thing?

Don’t forget to look into what you’re going to do with all that food you’re raising for your family. After they are done eating it. (Free links below the fold.)

Because, yes, dealing with poop is a part of life. Dealing with it as a valuable resource is a part of your self sufficient family life.

What would happen to your sewer system if the bird flu took out have the Public Works staff for a month?

Maybe you can only afford a marginal piece of land. One that doesn’t perk. For your family “vacation”/retreat. Maybe you don’t want to haul heavy equipment 25 miles off-road to dig your septic system and field.

Or, use a shovel through rock and clay to lay down those septic lines in the middle of nowhere.

See what I mean?
