What is your latest prepping project?

where i live we have no option to house it outdoors, tilapia must be raised indoors here. so am hoping my parents let me put this system in the house or else i have my grandparents shop i could always use.

That'll work then. I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to do Tilapia it would have to be in an attached greenhouse that is part of my heated living space. I just couldn't keep a standalone greenhouse warm enough with a wood stove in the winter.

You will want to consider the humidity if you try this attached to your living space.

Yes. I've come up with some possible solutions, but nothing definite yet.

talked with the family and sounds like where going to set the system up in a shop (if we get one) with one of those grow tents, to lock in the heat and humidity. hope it works out.

We aren't really preppers, but we are trying to be more self sufficient. We have been raising ducks for 5 years now and have added some geese that we are currently raising to breed and sell (but might start butchering at some point) and added guineas to our flock this year. My employer offers garden space so I have a number of raised beds as well as a plot that we grow larger crops in such as squash and corn. I try to can as much as possible. I have also learned to dry herbs in the oven for preservation. Our latest investment was a pellet smoker (primarily because we love ribs and brisket), but we can't wait to try out the smoke setting when we can get a decent price on salmon.

On going project has been to change the majority of my suburban landscape into dual purpose plantings. Modified Urban Homestead if you will. Greatest risks in my area are: earthquake, civil unrest, and/or tsunami. Most folks around here don't prepare and that makes those of us that do, vulnerable. Just my two cents.

My latest project involves getting a deer rifle and game cam and learning to shoot. Lots of deer here.

well with all this scary news about whats happening in the world right now. i really think am going to start trying to be more self sufficient, at the moment we have been talking to a few companies about aquaponics (a small starter system really) and i really think its going to happen, hoping i can get my tilapia permit or else am going with a rainbow trout system.
