Good Morning from the Yukon - Canada's north country. Fishponds sound great and I do envy those who can seed them and thrive. In the north we need a very deep lake to avoid full depth freeze at -40*+ in the winter. But I realize we have options of moose, deer, elk, bison and caribou. We also have a very short growing season - sometimes only 12 weeks from last snow to first snow... I have bought a dehydrator and have been dehydrating vegetables or well over a year now and gathering essentials of things we can't do without. Learning how to save anything re-useable and handy to help fix something. We put in a solar system, and used this winter to see how many kilowatts were necessary each month before we hook it up. Marking weather temps and amounts of sun. I think we are ready, but who really knows? I have neighbours who have small children and though I encourage, it isn't heard and I am considered a bit odd - oh well.... there's worse, I'd guess, but I know I need enough for us all to survive!
Excellent! One of the things taught in my permaculture studies is about water, with an entire chapter devoted to it -- collecting it, storing it, and using it. Fish ponds really hit home. I'll never forget the section on protein: you would need 30 acres of land to raise enough beef to match the amount of fish you can grow and harvest in a one acre pond. Good article, sir.
One aspect of famine that is different then, versus now. The famines you are describing involved elites who cared about their populace and felt a cultural responsibility. That does not appear to be the case presently. Now, they are more likely to protect and enhance themselves. If land confiscation and removal of private home ownership are part of the globalists' plan, then "screwed" is the operative word.
Come June, the west fork of the San Jacinto River will bring the fish to my doorstep with it's flooding. Unfortunately it's full up with illegal foreign nationals.
Around 1976 I was in the Marines and on deployment to Okinawa. A josan, Kimiko, took a shine to me and brought me to her home. Looking out her back window a neighbor had a giant bowl with fish in it, which, as an American, I thought it was odd. I wondered if the neighbor ate the fish - sushi anyone? :)
You can raise tilapia in barrels too. Or IBC totes cut in half. If the EPA or some state agency tries to prevent you from having a pond, maybe a “decorative fountain” would work, or a secret basement barrel fish farm.
Shit going to get real and fast. 100 year snow pack in the Sierra Nevada, some fields already under water. Big time flooding coming down the pipe. Hard to grow anything in water except rice.
Michael, you have certainly educated and warned us. Now it's for us to take action on...
Thanks for all you do!

It's so refreshing to hear of leaders who actually help their people rather than actively try to harm them!

Great video and info! “ they studied water” 👍🏻
I have a fish pond. Unfortunately its full of Koa. I would love to transition to tilapia. The Boss Lady, however, hasn't reached that conclusion.
What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing and for your thoughtfulness.
