Regret not starting a rainwater catchment system years ago—would’ve saved a lot of headaches. What’s the prep you wish you’d prioritized sooner? Curious if there’s something simple that made a big difference for you.

Wish I’d built up a deeper pantry way earlier. Didn’t realize how much peace of mind comes from having a solid stash of basics—beans, rice, flour, etc. It’s just such a simple change but makes day-to-day stuff and sudden disruptions so much easier to handle. Anyone else surprised by how fast those little daily shortages can add up?
