What’s the One Prep You Wish You’d Started Sooner?

Wish I’d started growing medicinal herbs much earlier—so many uses beyond teas, and it takes time to learn which thrive locally. Now I'm playing catch-up figuring out what actually works for wound care or immune support. Curious what others regret not starting sooner. Was it food storage, skills, water systems, or something else that snuck up on you? Always interested in the lessons learned the hard

Wish I’d gotten serious about rainwater collection a decade ago. Figured a few barrels under the eaves were enough, but summers kept getting drier and it’s been a scramble upgrading my setup. Takes more planning than I thought! Anyone else find water storage trickier than expected, or is it just me overcomplicating things?
