Off-Grid Mtn. Spring Water System 🤝🛠💪 • On todays episode we continue to make improvements to our wild mountain spring fed homestead water system by adding an on/off ball valve to the inside of our silt trap/spring box. This will allow us to eliminate the flow of silt filled water to the holding tank while cleaning the silt trap. • It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war. • #modern #rural #civilian #selfsufficient #off-grid #sustainableliving #rootcellar #switch
