      28/ I'm joking. It's a capped off "dug" well. I.e. presumable 25 or 30 feet deep, and giving access to near-surface ground water. Considered unsanitary in CURRENT YEAR bc surface contamination (animal feces, spilled gasoline, road runoff) can reach that depth. However >>>

      29/ in a SHTF scenario, it'd be nice to have access to that. With tractor running, it'd be a simple matter to lift concrete cap off with a chain and the bucket. In a DEEP TEOTWAWKI scenario, I suppose a lashed tripod and a chain hoist could get the job done

      31/ Well, yes, I've thought of this. But "just do 16 hrs labor and spend $1,000 on a pump and solar cells and piping and electrical and and and..." conflicts with "need to weld the brushhog and fence in the orchard and build shelves and and and..." https://twitter.com/0pfour/status/1150462038860128256 …

      32/ Given that I already have a well, and a street power, and battery backup power, and a tractor with a PTO generator, and 10 g diesel on hand to fuel it, and 250 gal heating oil (which the tractor can burn), and and and and, this "fully equip a second well" is not in top 10

      33/ Also, how much work should I do to further optimize for the 1 in 1,000 scenario, vs work to optimize for the 999 in 1,000 scenario. I.e. building bookshelves, on average, helps me more.

      35/ Have you owned goats? I have. How, exactly, are goats going to weed AROUND and BETWEEN my pumpkin plants? How, exactly, do I stop them from eating and/or trampling the pumpkins? How do I keep them from wandering off?https://twitter.com/spongeworthy2/status/1150481105784582145 …

      36/ I !@#-ing hate the phenomena of third hand received wisdom internet prepper / farmer / back-to-the-landers. Hoes exist for a reason, and it's not that 19th c. (and 2nd c.!) farmers didn't know of the existence of goats. Different tools for different jobs.

          No she did not. But she was a very good goat in many other ways. I wasn't thinking so much in terms of weed control but a goat for better pictures.

          But I did grow up on a little farm and we did have a goat.
