thanks SS. I took a brief look at the pumps and coz they're generally inexpensive and you really have to see my home to understand my constraints.
But when SHTF, u won't be doing anything other than the necessary stuff to survive, so getting the water from the river next to the home, isn't gonna be an issue. Issue will be crop security. How do I plant my crops, do the work and not have people steal them, since I live in an apartment and any meaningful crop would have to be planted on the ground floor.
Well, I guess, we will have to think about it and when the time comes, decide based on the circumstances

fortunately for me, tilapia is found in abundance in my country. It was introduced in the 20's or 30's by the Japanese. Hence the degratory term "Japanese Fish". And they're so hardy and breed so fast.
Unfortunately for me, land is really scarce here in Singapore so having enough land to build 2 ponds is likely to be out of the question. SHTF situation, I'm converting the Kitchen Toilet into my growing area, because its the _only_ place with sufficient Sunlight (I know its strange, you almost have to be here to understand). I will instead be using 2 3Ft Fish tanks with Solar Pumps.
I am still planning some but this is the way I'm likely to be going. and Tilapia is easy to feed. bread, duckweed (harvestible from a pond near my home), pigeon meat would all work.

i am trying not to get 18650 flash lights coz of the scarcity of the batteries or charging methods. A juiceless flashlight is useless, unless its a huge maglite, then it can be a defence weapon. SHTF conditions, its easier to charge AA/AAA 1.2v batteries. So most of my torches (other than some specialty ones) use these 2 classes. I can switch out from these in a flash, coz I have AA/AAA alternatives.

good post. If the SHTF now, I would not say that I am ready but I would say that I would probably survive better than my neighbours. And I have enough preps in office to get home. Water is no issue because of the river next to my home, I am storing minimal water (maybe 1 weeks worth at most) but I have sufficient water purification methods. I think in Singapore, our context is really very different from US and AUS, we have less land so we're mostly in build ups. But deliberately living near to a river, was one of the best decisions ever made. Keeping myself up to date with fishing methods locally also helps. Woe to those who think that to fish, you _MUST_ use live bait or exotic bait like prawn and blood worms. oh. did I mention, good post? lol.

I've read almost all. Redemption of Althalus, Younger Gods, Elder Gods series... I've read Belgariad, Mallorean, Sparhawk series like 30x _each_ but we should shift books and novels to another Thread. we've hijacked remnantprep's long enough

oh don't worry. I'll have pics too!
I am thinking of trying additional flavours. instead of salt, I'll use MISO or beef/chicken stock.
Making them thinner means, we can eat them as is.
