People don't realize how much work and effort it takes to create a sustainable place to live and provide basic needs for themselves and their families. Hopefully this will help.
I don't believe anyone will be able to defend their personal "oasis" from armed and hungry people. Personally I've been preparing for more of a nomadic scenario with water filters & purifiers, hunting supplies, traps and trapping stuff etc.. I do have food stuffs to last a couple months while getting into the groove if there's time, but I think mobility will be crucial.
you need someplace green. there's nothing but desert all around you bro. in the meantime, you can put up tarps over your animals and veggies or just muslim type cloth or sheets, and fix up a mister for the animals. you can also dig down 3 feet or so where they can roost in the cool. good luck
you can make a solar panel have a battery system and it will easily run that well pump , cant grow much in the desert you better get into raising rabbit , cheap a fast food , put the animals pens into the ground so they dont die , the plants and pens should have a dam solar shade over them ,
@dadrules714 water is not scarce..there is a huge water aquafir under the ground all over his region. he said he has a well, he's just not using the water he has the right way, and like I said b4, he needs to get more compact and and there should be people there all the time working on the land. There was NOONE else in the vid, we should'ev seen people working! These thing he should look at, including building adobe for his animal and sheds. The wood and metal should be scrapped.
you should start looking into sprouts too, its faster then waiting for the fruits of labor, and it's WAY more nutrient filled. Things just seem half-assed? Do you have help there or is it just you doin everything? If it's just you...man you beter man up and get the others to start contributing, plus it's a nice thing for a fam to work together! There was no real description about this vid so I don't know your real situation, but I do hope things are better for you now.
looks like you took on more than you can handle?...how many people are in you "group" like 40?!!! You seem to be way too spread out man! there is soooo much you could do with that place to make it 10x beter than what you've got goin on. You shouls downsize and get more compact! The wind will help alot if you know how to use it. electricity shouldn't be a prob especially if you're blowin money trying to up-keep. Try to put some of the animals underground and start cloning your plants its faster!!
An addition to my previous post a minute ago: alomst at the beginning of your vid I see these succulent, round 'leaved' cacti in white buckets. These are your number one groundwater killers !!! If you're cultivating them on your property, then there's absolutely no question as to why your ground is dry like hell.
OH! Maps and a compass for your vicinity.

Buy a hand pump for your well so that you can use it when the power is out.
