A number of members have expanded their solar posts to include things like rainwater harvesting.

 

I wonder if we should expand the forum scope somewhat. I'd like to keep to the "techy" side of things, keeping chooks and growing food is well served in the Farming forums.

 

So, your thoughts and ideas are welcomed, the poll headings are really just ideas rather than a fixed list of options.

 

Please go ahead and add your own thoughts.

 

Or tell me I'm an idiot and not to mess with something that's not busted

Don't forget to include prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse.

Every home needs a collection of swords and machetes to defeat the ravaging hordes.

Madam already has a significant collection of bladed tools (and keeps them razor-sharp), no zombie with any sense would attack!

Harvesting rainwater sound a good inclusion. The way everyone around here is drilling water bores is worrying. 

A comment on moderation and some off-topic posts (which I actually agree with) have been removed.

 

Let's try to keep it specific to the subject of the poll shall we ???? 

 

@Crossy
I voted "No Opinion" but I will chime in to say that I believe there is enough interest in these subjects to warrant a separate sub-forum.  I'd just go the Nike route and say, "Just Do It!"

 

I've edited the thread title to include the forum name, evidently there was some confusion over my original heading.

As far as I know zombies don't have any sense...

Many of them would disagree with you on that subject ????

Which government department did you have in mind?

Welcome to the Asean Now Self Sufficiency forum.

Self Sufficiency forum ... ????

 

I don't need no stinkin' govt, PEA, MEA, PWA, fossil fuel BS

 

 

"Rainwater harvesting. It's subsequent treatment and storage"

 

Might be better to create it's own thread. Start mixing things up and it become more difficult to find particular threads or posts.

Also part of this thread should be on Thailand Aquifers. I am sure that (even though there has been extensive exploration of aquifers in the past) most drillers have no idea of which aquifer they are drilling into, its capacity, how it is charged, recharge rate, etc. 

In our area they are laying water pipes in the villages and connecting them to the local bores.

They've done that where I am also but using lake water instead.

 

We have very few bored locals here.

Topics like that could be pinned at the top of the forum so it doesn't get lost.

That too sounds like it is well qualified to be another pinned topic.

I must admit that I had to google the term "Homesteading".

It appears to be a US-only phrase.

 

I do like @Muhendis's suggestion above... ASEAN NOW Self Sufficency Forum. 

 

 

The forum description could also be modified to read "Discussion of all forms of alternative and renewable energy and off-grid living in Thailand".
