20,000 lbs Of Fish + 70,000 Vegetables From 1/4 Acre!!. Photo – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCCN4nq7BlQ
The development of the aquaponic farming system has been going on for over 40 years and is a super-efficient way to produce large amounts of home grown food by combining fish farming with hydroponic agriculture for up to ten times the normal yield per acre! Now it’s reached a point where a basic system is something we could all attempt in the backyard. This video features the latest and most exciting step forward – a complete working farm that is also portable!
As the world’s population grows, food production is one of the biggest issues that we face – how can we increase the supply to keep pace? As many vegetarians will be able to tell you, farming for meat uses ten times as much land as for grains and vegetables to make the same amount of food. Aquaponics has the advantage that it produces a variety of foods in an even smaller space, enough to provide everything we need locally!
Modern intensive farming has its problems, reducing natural biodiversity and increasing the need for fertilizers and pesticides that do untold damage to the ecosystem. Growing without soil reduces the number of pests and diseases that can damage your crops, the workload is much reduced (there’s no weeding to do!) and the yields are fast and more controllable – it can be done almost anywhere!
An aquaponic farm has to be kept from freezing in the winter so would be more difficult to set up in colder climates. Having said this, it still looks like one of the best discoveries in recent times for feeding an ever-growing population.
Regular maintenance is needed for an aquaponic system to work well – this mainly involves measuring and adjusting the pH level and amounts of nutrients and nitrates in the water to find the right balance for both fish and plants. Catfish and Tilapia are popular types for an aquaponic system because they are tolerant to higher concentrations of ammonia and nitrates in the water.
If you’re thinking of making your own system at home, there are now plenty of web sites, forums and DIY instructional videos to help you – it pays to start small until you learn how to keep a system healthy as mistakes can be costly.
Unfortunately for beginners, a smaller system can be less stable than a large one so it’s important to do your research before you start and keep a close eye on all the variables. After a while, monitoring the system will be second nature and if it works for you, it’s easy enough to increase the capacity. It’s easy to see how this could become a homesteader’s dream come true!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
