How do you produce your own water? Are you able to combine hydrogen with 2 molecules of oxygen? Most likely, no. Are you storing snow? No. You are probably taking water from a well/aquifer.

I'd like to know how to test water of pesticides, both chemical and organic. Major problem in Mexico.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41079971


There are a lot of different products you can purchase for that.

I condense and filter the water. My system removes everything, even radiologicals and virii

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36501685

I'd say about $15-20k ish.

Figure out what you can MAKE and then sell it or offer your services.

I sold my power generation devices and I get residual income by maintaining various other people's aquaponics systems that I set up for them.

It took me only 2 years to save what I needed and one year to put it all together.
Its still a work in progress, and hope it will always be!

No. What do I need money for?
I have food, shelter, comforts etc and a great set of skills should I ever need to barter.

I can my food, and make biltong (air-dried meats) as a backup plan. I have thousands of gallons of water...

I have no need for money really.

Dont believe every one our age is a corporate product!

There is still hope, I will meet your innovations one day and shake your hand, stand the ground and know the hidden kingdom can overcome!!

Re: I'm 25, debt-free, own land, make my own power, grow my own food and produce my own water. Questions?
I decided to start this thread as the Baby-Boomers seem to define "success" as the amount of crappy chinese made shit you have, and a number on a computer screen that represents your worth to society, and slaving away to pay off a mortgage and debt.

I reject that notion, and would like to present what I believe to be true success.

I purchased unincorporated land with just over $100.00 in annual property taxes.

I constructed my own abode using various shipping containers.

I power my own systems with vertical wind turbines (self-built) solar Fresnel concentrators, and a waterwheel that is gravity fed from my raincatcher.

I grow my own food using a closed-cycle aquaponics system that includes tilapia and quail for protein, and 50 different veggies that are grown year round under LED lighting in a climate controlled container setup.

I produce my own water through rain harvesting, and a large scale "air-well"

I have everything I need, and all the modern comforts, but never have to work a day for the rest of my life.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
