[/quote] NM has problems with irrigation water down in the valleys. However, the water in the mountains comes from yearly rain and snow melt replenishing the aquifers. For example, the place I am looking at has over 70 inches of snow fall yearly on average. Ref permaculture, I don't think I can do much of any kind of ag when the night temps in the summer average in the 40s. One of the reasons I looked at New Mexico is that you can find relatively dry, mild weather above 7,000 feet. Farther north that altitude is near tree line. BTW, my father was a cowboy from NM. When he retired he bought a small 825 acre ranch up near Las Vegas. He lived above 6,000 feet but had enough rainfall to grow corn and beans. [/quote] Scott lives where you are typing about? He lives at a fairly high elevation zone. I'm not taking the piss. I'm telling you you have a contact if you connect and say 'Lance WIldwood' said I might learn something from you vis a vi buying a property near you. This is my student (first) and a student of Scott's. https://permaculture.org/2017/12/13/path-permaculture-delvins-story/ Dive in, don't diss. The reason for people who know things you don't, is so that you can learn things you never imagined. [/quote] OK, I did not understand your comment at first. Not dissing; I simply think ag would be difficult. Checking your link now. And THANKS for the tip! [/quote] OK, I read the stories at the link. Jack Spirko, who I listen to, is also a promoter of permaculture. When I think of being a prepper at that altitude with that climate, I am thinking that some fruit trees are possible. A veggie garden will need a greenhouse. Of course, we can also build a barn and board horses for people. I would almost certainly build a good chicken house and yard since I love my fresh eggs more than almost any food that I grow. We rotate chickens through our garden areas here with great success. My chickens clean up the garden while consuming bugs and depositing wonderful fertilizer. BTW, we have about 30 baby geese I just hatched out of the incubator. They would survive the cold climate there just fine as long as I can keep coyotes and bears away from them. [/quote] Darth, look into the possibility of building a walipini on your new property. It's an old concept and makes wonderful sense. Just watch out for those scorpions in NM! I went to school in Artesia and used to go camping up in Cloudcroft area, extremely beautiful, garden of eden vibes up there! https://morningchores.com/walipini/ . [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
