Our house sits high on a hill but the front portion is lower and my son and husband were able to dig by hand and hand drill about 10ft. down to hit the water.  We called a well driller to do it first off but he said that, in Michigan, it is illegal for him to install it. 
If the economy goes in free fall the ranchers around you may not be able to feed their cattle.  You might think of a back up plan like keeping a breeding pair of meat rabbits? They eat pellets, grass, leaves and hay. They multiply like traditional Catholics, too.

Rabbits are a good supplemental meat but I’m pretty sure I’ve read that over consumption can cause a lot of problems. They have super low fat content that over time makes you very sick. I think they call it trapper poisoning. Basically protein poisoning. So not a good primary meat but a good supplementary one.

I can't say I remember reading about any saint in a starvation situation, certainly not one who had prepped for such a time. Would such a saint turn everyone away for not having made their own preparations, even to the point of killing or disabling them so they don't steal his food? Wouldn't the Gospel equate that to turning away or hurting/killing Jesus (what you do to the least of brethren you do to Me)? Or does that only count for other Catholics? What if you gave all you had to feed the neighborhood for a day or week, then everyone starves? At least you'd have on your conscience having given all you had for others, thereby giving all to Jesus. So, if I prep, should I be a selfish murderer? I'd feel guilty sitting on a plentiful stash while others starve and beg, even if justly. Speaking of justice, God has given me far more than I deserve, by His infinite mercy and love. I'd at least be inclined to pray that He'd multiply my stores by a miracle so I could feed them.
