In Episode 116 of Everyday Stories on Our Homestead, I share a hard but important lesson—one that came through a ceiling leak in my daughter’s room.

A storm months ago ripped shingles off our roof. I didn’t fix it right away… and now, with rain pouring down, water is flooding into her ceiling. I waited too long. And I’m reaping the natural consequences.

This episode is a call to prepare—not just with repairs, but with your food storage and finances too. Drawing from principles found in self-reliance guides, I discuss why every homesteader (and every family) should work toward:

• A year’s supply of food

• A year’s worth of basic living expenses

• The mindset to act before the storm hits

Because once the water’s flowing, it’s too late to get on the roof.

🎧 Listen now, and let’s build a homestead that’s storm-ready—inside and out.
