Complete newbie here looking for info to be more self sufficient. Since I'm in the desert I figure I'd start with the most important thing out here.

Water.
I've got 3 5 gallon containers I use for camping/hunting. Instead of leaving them empty I have them stored with water. It's not much, but better than nothing I suppose.

I hope to learn more by reading topics on this board.

Welcome from South Texas. Lucky you to live in the desert. I really enjoy the Chihuahua Desert.

Most people only see rocks and sand. While not really a garden oasis, the desert does have flora and fauna life of it's own.

Howdy,

Welcome to the forum.

Things to ponder follow:

Have a BOL? (If needed)

Self-sufficient? Garden? Have garden tools? Store food-wheat, beans, etc.?

Heat with renewable fuels? Have firewood cutting tools?

Own a rifle? Reload? Cast bullets? Hunt? Fish? Have the equipment and supplies?

Homebrewing? Can food? Have the equipment?

Practice permaculture? Gather wild foods?
