How do you build a homestead that can survive storms, outages, breakdowns, and the unexpected?
In this video, I’m sharing the systems, habits, and hard-earned lessons that helped us build real long-term resilience here at Possum Ridge Farms.
Several years ago, an ice storm left us without power for almost two weeks. No heat, no light, no water. That experience completely changed how we think about backup systems — and why every homestead needs layered resilience, not just equipment.
In this video, we cover:
✔ Storage systems that prevent emergencies
✔ Water sources that keep animals and gardens alive
✔ Layered power systems (solar, batteries, PTO generator, wood heat)
✔ Raising hardy livestock and choosing the right genetics
✔ Growing dependable crops for long-term food security
✔ Building land systems that work with your environment
✔ How YOU change as your homestead grows
Whether you’re dreaming about land, just getting started, or already years into your journey, this guide will help you build a homestead that can take a hit and keep going — no matter what life throws at you.

📌 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This video is part of our homesteading fundamentals series here at Possum Ridge Farms. Our goal is to share honest, real-world lessons from building a working homestead in the Mississippi Delta — the systems that hold up under stress, the mistakes we’ve made along the way, and what actually matters when you’re designing a farm for long-term resilience.
We don’t do hype, fear, or fantasy homesteading.
Just real experience… from real storms… on real land.
