That's one of the survival files that I found quite interesting.
What about doing this is a large stock water tank? Or better, several tanks for keeping different aged batches going?
My head is already churning with plans to build a screened in shed to protect the fish from predators. My dogs would allow anything noisy to venture out there. Screen would stop mosquitoes and hold up a raccoon so that he may be dinner for the pups.
I cannot raise worms due to fire ants. Commercial fish food works quite well in nutrition and fast growth. If SHTF I'd have to come up with something else to feed, or just clean and freeze what I have on hand.
The aerators can probably be run with a timer and solar charged heavy truck batteries.
When and if my pond ever fills back up I can stock that, too.
The potential is there for a lot of meat with a fairly small investment. i HAVE 33 acres to play with.
Thoughts?
