Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

A conundrum for me lately. Used to have pool that if left full or at winter level could furnish approx 10K gallons of water. Not potable but that could be fixed. But it's been deactivated, & opened a gap in my supplies. Small branch running through my property but mostly dry. Damming it could be a fix, for a couple grand worth of dozing.
Altering rain gutter downspouts & having a lot of proper containers the best bet in my local as we generally get regular rains.
Water, without plenty of it, a basement full of food & ammo will be left for whoever finds it after you're gone.

1) three lakes (ponds) on site 2) one well on site 3) air lift pump set up on well now 4) once held a Texas Class "B" Surface Water Production license.
You need to produce 100 gallons/person/day. You can survive on 50, but personal hygiene goes out the window. Of course, nobody will come around you, so you may be safe! 😜

A deep well and a river out behind my house.

I'm about a quarter mile or so from a river that supposedly supplies some of the cleanest water in the country. A few gallons of bleach will go a long ways in purifying it.

I built my wife a 3 acre lake that we live on so she wouldn't miss the ocean. Water is the least of our worries.

A very intelligent young man told me in 1987 that the world will run out of fresh water before it runs out of oil.

We started clearing all the Ashe juniper off the ranch last year. Almost 1/2 done. Spring are starting up again. When we get the highlands done in the back pasture there are several old springs back there that might just start up again. Wish I could get the BLM to do about 100 sq miles of juniper removal here. Heck, I bet even doing the 20 sq miles behind our place would start a couple I know of up again. Ranchers would likely be happy, besides the springs running there'd be more forage. Their cattle are not particularly fond of the juniper.

I've read, a big cottonwood tree can dissipate 500 gallons of water a day.

I have a 35 acre reservoir here on this farm. Water won’t be a problem. Lots of farms with reservoirs between my place and the 2 closest towns so town folk looking for water won’t make it out to my place. That said, I seriously doubt it will come to SHTF in my remaining years.

If I distill ten gallons, probably close to that.

My hot tub holds about 400 gallons and my next door neighbors had a hand pump added to the top of their well they said we could use anytime. Also, My f150 has a 7 2 kwatt generator that will run our well pump easy enough.
