@@Blade0351 also fair!

​@@AlwaysPreparedSolutions Or even spelling words like "CAN" 😂 Being freaked out by every little thing that happens, is the problem. Especially when it doesn't effect you in the Least. One side has been indoctrinating there followers in HATE AND FEAR !!! That's not a good lifestyle. When you feel you even have to take breaks from what you enjoy, to talk about them. Explain that one.

@My-Pal-Hal first, if we're pointing out spelling which isn't really that important, I think you meant "their" and not "there". Second, I gotta be honest, I'm not sure what exactly your getting at, and feels a lot like a bot comment, put out just for the sake of being divisive, which would explain the grammatical issue if English isn't your first language. Even if it is, people have problems so no worries either way. I'm just hoping you can maybe define what you're hoping to communicate more concisely, please.

@@AlwaysPreparedSolutions And I will apologize. If taking about half a second to check peoples channels you are responding to,.. takes half a second 😂 Well, That pretty much says it all.

@My-Pal-Hal just making an observation, not an assumption. No need to get defensive. I'm also not sure how questioning for clarity, which you still haven't provided. For what it's worth, cam is an actual word, so it's spelled right, as the device made it so. Maybe turn that off and use a hard copy dictionary to ensure the word is both spelled correctly as well as used thusly. I've been around enough to be certain at this point your aim isn't to make any point but just to argue. Feel free to express yourself however you wish! I'm a firm supporter of the US constitution and the human rights it aims to preserve, one of which is firearm ownership, another being free speech. So please, use this forum to make any point you desire!

I can definitely shorten the line, but I have aluminum siding which interferes with Bluetooth when I'm inside. The node is right outside my sliding glass door which helps a ton. I'm open to other ideas, too.

@@AlwaysPreparedSolutions try putting another node inside the house placed in a location where it can mesh with the outside node. That way you can connect to the inside node via Bluetooth for your phones, tablets, computers, etc. Shorten the coax run on the outside node to extend its range.

@@buckeye43210 I feel dumb for not thinking of that already, lol. Thanks!!

Good points there, the final product is going to have additional wood over the pvc to protect. In a short term disaster, foraging for water could be extremely challenging, depending on the nature of the events. However, I never said I was excluding doing so. In fact, with this specific set up, collecting rain water will be much easier. Collecting water in place is preferable to carrying water over distances. The gravity feeding is a result of the design, not an element used to create it. The big idea was the smallest footprint for the barrels. You can see I'm at the height of the drop ceiling, and there's definitely not enough room above that for another level of barrels. Going vertical makes for less space taken horizontally. As for disassembling the system, well, it's not meant to be mobile. I am thinking about ending it with shutoff in-between barrels so i can isolate them if needed for repairs, and maybe that wasn't your intent, but now I'm giving that some real tought, and that'll probably get built in at some point. I'm not an engineer, just a guy trying to improve his position the best he can so if bad things happen I stand a better chance of dealing with it. This isn't something I thought up on my own. I found a rain barrel stack and adapted the idea to this, and your comment does have me now thinking of ways to improve this.

Yes indeed!!! Another person commented something similar, and that floor is poured concrete. I wouldn't think of having that on much less.

Thank you! I was pretty happy with it being the first time I've tried it.

I like it!

Floor is poured concrete, this is in my basement so I'm not too worried, but excellent point for anyone else to consider.

That's essentially what I'm doing for the top two barrels on each, I figure if I get into the bottom barrels, the refill process is something I can live with on that one having the burping if municipal water is back up. Or the refill will be pretty slow using rain water and a home assembled purifying system, which isn't anything ground breaking, but I'll make sure to share at some point.

I kept my parkour to a minimum. I swear....

Shhhhh.......

My wife alluded to me being the beer drinking, pizza eating David Goggins! Regardless, you got this! It's not always going to be forward progress, but as long as it's mostly is, you're doing great!

Just remember, goggins can't have healthy relationships, jobs, or eat a fn ice cream cone because his only way to deal with life is to exercise and punish himself. Balance is key.

Hell yes! I never did any of the "super cool guy" stuff myself, not in my opinion anyway, but mad respect for anyone who gives it a try! Keep working, you can make it happen!

I have no problems with milsim and airsoft. Just remember that while there are similarities, it's not an exact translation, just like competition shooting to combat. That being said, I agree that there are many benefits that people shouldn't overlook, especially the gear shakedown portion. You don't know how your kit is really working until you put it through its paces, absolutely.

@@AlwaysPreparedSolutions of course! And I think airsoft can build some bad habits too, as I may have 🙄. Have to take what you can from the hobby. Thanks for the response!
