Great video, thank you for taking the time to show us how easy it is to become more self sufficient.

aw man!

a tear just rolled down my eye..

thanks BFrank!

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Per

for what?

great video BFrank
we made 2 this past summer
all the living plants love it

I am going to use your idea on connecting 2 barrels together.
1 barrel can't keep up when we get any significant amount of rain.

This is the way people

This is the way people should think. The more self sufficient you can get the better.

Just use a trash can.

Simple.

that would work

but its really thin and you need a sealed tight except for the screen

We live in Arizona so we can get all the help we can with collecting rain water.

Nice!

Where do you get the barrels? Also, what happens when the barrells fill up, say you get 1 or 2 inches of rain in a day? Do they overflow out the top?

BTW, have you seen the Earthship design for water collection and use? Larger cisterns, water filtration and treatment, and indoor use of rainwater:

good question

you can see in the video and I forgot to mention, I have an overflow on the side toward the top.

Interesting video, thanks

Interesting video, thanks for posting.

About drinking that water, do you think there's any contamination from running over the shingles, etc?

Did you post another video a while back with footage of your garden? Your setup looked familiar and I thought maybe it was you who posted the garden video some time ago.

easy fix, copper flashing on

easy fix, copper flashing on the peak of your roof (you should have this anyway to fight moss) and a silver coin, or ring in the bottom of your barrel.

BAMN! no more contaminations!
