A cistern is nothing more than a large rain catchment holding tank. Often now days many folks use single or multiple plastic food grade 50 to 60 gallon barrels, or metal pallet, metal protected large 250 gallon plastic tanks for serious rain catchment. WATER is the most important resource to ALL LIFE. 3 DAYS is all you have without any source of water before you die. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a safe source of water. When it comes to important things for our survival, preppers think along the idea that One is good, Two is better, and Three is ideal. How do you get your water right now? Do you transport water in some way from the distant spring? Do you buy jugs of bottled water? What exactly do you do now? We can talk about tons of other topics later, but right now with what little info I have from you I would say your Water resources is something that could render you helpless, sick or dead quickly in a worst case scenario unless you improve your self sufficiency in that area.

God, that seems so gloom and doom. Let me try to lighten up just a bit. Tell me about your gardening, your neighbors, your pets and livestock, the shelter you live in and what kind of roof it has. How far you have to go for grocery staples. What type of transport you use or own. All the books I listed are novels, but they also have much info for preppers to glean and hold dear as knowledge that could save their lives. More important books at this time might be those than lean to practical self sufficiency. There are many good or even great ones. I can highly recommend 3 that I have read (2 of which are in my permanent extensive hard copy library).

We all search for kindred spirits to discuss things with, to share with and to learn from. Everyone has something to teach others whether they realize it or not. I wish you well in all you try with a good heart put in it. Tell me more. Ask whatever you wish, I will try to give good answers or steer you to a source for them. Tac
