Wish I’d started pressure canning sooner—so much food security in those jars. Anyone else regret waiting on a skill or supply? Curious what you’d go back and prioritize from the start.
Rainwater harvesting—absolutely wish I’d built up that system way earlier. Once I realized how useful extra water is for the garden, it felt silly to have waited. Plus, those summer droughts sneak up on you faster than you’d think. Anyone else surprised by just how much water day-to-day stuff actually needs?
