You’re not stockpiling purity. You’re stockpiling lies.
Then I looked into rainwater catchment.
Sounded great. Seemed simple. But with the
megadrought we’re in… You already know…
Rain doesn’t come when you need it. Or doesn’t
come at all… For months on end.
And when it does?
Most states heavily regulate how
much you can collect.
Some ban it completely.
And even when you do store it, you
need barrels, pumps, filters,
covers, chemicals… It turns into a
full-time job for a trickle.
Plus… Here’s the kicker: the water you’re
catching off your roof is loaded with toxins.
Shingles. Mold. Bird crap.
It’s not clean, and it’s not reliable.
I even looked into well drilling.
But unless you’ve got $12,000 to $20,000 to throw
at a professional crew… And you live on land where
drilling is legal… And you hit an aquifer that isn’t
dried out or contaminated?
You’re screwed.
Not to mention:
“Water rights” are still state-owned in most areas.
Which means they can come and cut you off, even
if you drilled it yourself.
That’s when it hit me.
