2012 I am going to focus on the projects I started or have on my mind but never got round to doing them, so 2012 I am going to keep it simple.
1: Chickens a 2011 stopped project, I had too much going on. (This week bought a new coop and started rebuild new run in garden)
2: Improve my rain farm.
3: Upgrade solar. (Just before Xmas bought 3 more panels and a 30amp regulator)
4: learn by trial and error smoking and curing/drying meat and making long term store type meats like Pemmican.
5: Going to design and build my group shtf portable toilet.
6: Build a group water filter.
7: I think it is time to give myself a break from prepping other than the tasks above I no longer want to learn new things until I have better skill in the things I already know.

W&C,
Consolidating is good. Gives you a chance to consider and think ahead. Sounds like a good plan you have there.

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Hope to replace the Transit with a T5 or smaller van. Get a PV panel for charging 12VDC, 9, 6, 3 etc, Reccy out some abandoned allotments, one of my caches is going to need relocating I think. Get another crossbow, meet BP at the WG again, update my archive (hah) do some courses. watch society unravel even further, my news years resolution is to stop trying to persuade city dwellers to move as its proven to be a waste of time. I have got to learn how to use a chain saw, possibly get some pygmy goats cos chooks are to noisy for this street, maybe get that suzuki van van 125 if wife will let me.

NR. Just curious. Can you get milk from pygmy goats that is drinkable? ( this is a serious question)
If you can, how small does the milking stool and bucket have to be?? (this was my attempt at humour)

I'd guess that the goats would need a lot more food than the chooks,it's a difficult choice to make.
As an answer to the original question, last year I managed to set up a couple of water butts in the back garden and start to expand my veg' patch into more of the surrounding plants so that my whole garden this year should be a mix of edible/medicinal plants with the veg planted within it.
I need to practise my trapping skills this year and practise more with my bow.
