We all come across ideas that could be real game changers for ourselves and others. I did a quick run through of the Forum and couldn't find a place to add them, so I am starting this, with the hope it will do someone some good. I'm sure this could be a great place for everyone to check, now and then, for new and different ideas we all come across daily.

This looked really interesting. For those who have water on property this might be a great way to move it. Imagine an old hot water tank instead of a plastic bucket. Even without the lens, I'm pretty sure you could make an enclosure for the tank just like a solar powered hot water system and achieve the same results, maybe even better because of volume.

This looks very, very interesting. Especially for those challenged by lack of space for big gardens, or just want a smaller area for a kitchen garden. The water supply would need to be reworked to something for total off grid, but I think still it is probably doable....Hmmmm. I think I have everything but the 45s and the sprayer ends.....
@Haunted55 love my ram pump, pumps 100gallons a day from a1/4 mile away and 100 feet up to storage tank, however, volume does matter. My pump uses 3 gallons per minute (or 259200 gallons per day) so I need a 3\4 intake hose. Now this may sound strange with only a pump rate of only 4 gallons per HOUR The bigger out put hose the better: my out put 3/4 pipe has a 60% better out put than 1/2 inch. The slightest amount of air in input line will shut the whole thing down.
@Low tech is best tech Ram pump are wonderful I have a fiend with one I do not know the spec on his but he get a lot of water out of his stream. I have watched many videos on making them I have no close running water on my property. Now they are low tech and have been around a long time not new technology.
This looks like it would take a bit of time to build but for warm water and if you have the time. I think it may be nice to have around. Rocket Water heater.

After reading through this, I thought how many might be able to get some useful info from this article. I don't know this person, but I do like her mindset and actions. What she relates here is truth and anyone trying for the first time could get better results if you follow her advice.
Great site, thanks for that, good to see some squirrel recipes, got plenty of those
