What’s One Prep You Wish You’d Started Sooner?
Wish I’d started a proper rainwater catchment system a decade ago. It seemed like overkill back then—living in a region with decent rainfall and municipal water felt “secure enough.” The last few years have shown me how quickly that illusion can shatter. Droughts, boil advisories, aging infrastructure—makes you rethink reliance on city water.
Now, I’m scrambling to retrofit gutters and invest in quality barrels, but it’s a learning curve and costs more than it would’ve if I’d slowly built it up over time. Plus, getting familiar with filtration methods and storage has its quirks. Anyone else regret not getting ahead of water
