    Thanx again Annie and Julian. So refreshing to watch, and be part of your adventures. Please tell us more about your book! I've had such an eventful life, and I need to record it as a legacy for my kids and grandkids one day, but I need to get started on a video blog. I did a long one covering snippets of my life but I need to do lots of little ones as I think of things. In Australia we harvest rainwater from the roof, often as a sole source of drinking water in remote areas. Australia is one of the driest continents on earth. I'm in the process of using 8 IBC's (1000 litre Water totes) joined together and stacked next to my shed and workshop to harvest water for for my veggie gardens. I'll put up gutters to channel the water and a similar pump as yours to water the veggies. We are currently growing spinach, gooseberries, potatoes, tomatoes and beetroots. Soon cabbages, corn, squashes peas and beans. There are many ways to build an inexpensive water filtration system that will make your stream water safe to drink. Some as simple as filling a plastic bucket with sand and gravel to catch the particulates and trickling it through carbon / charcoal. Cheap, easy to build and effective.
    Thanx again for a very special look into your lives
    Kev

    I like your videos. Saw a crayfish in the water you pump into the house. My grandfather said that you can safely drink water in which crayfish are harvested. So congratulations - your water is safe. Crayfish are very demanding about the quality of the water in which they live.

      @@AnnieJulian Crayfish are quite neat creatures that live in clean water, well enriched with oxygen. They can live in any fresh water bodies: rivers, lakes, estuaries, reservoirs, ponds, etc. These invertebrates like clean bodies of water, uncontaminated by chemical, domestic or industrial waste, for which they are considered indicators of clean water.

    A sand point well is a very cheap well and works really great with a simple pressure tank and a small pump that would run off your solar panels only running only when it is recharging the air pressure during cycles .

    Hello Annie & Julian,
    I am a Master's student at Lund University, studying Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science. For my master thesis, I'm researching off-grid tiny houses and their role in sustainable living. I'd greatly appreciate your insights on the practical and regulatory barriers hindering their broader implementation, as well as potential solutions. Your experiences would be invaluable. If you're available for an interview (either online, via e-mail or in-person whatever fits you), please let me know. Thank you for considering this request.
    Best,
