Homesteading with an Engineering Mindset - Epi-3802

All links, resources, source material and the audio of this podcast can be found at https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/en... one hour after the livestream version of this video is over. In this episode I sit down with Abraham Pittman, a field service engineer and homesteader from North Queensland, Australia, to talk about applying engineering principles to homesteading, prepping, and self reliance. Abraham works on large turbocompressors and turbines at remote industrial sites around the world, often troubleshooting complex systems under pressure. Today we break down how that same engineering mindset can be used to build more resilient systems at home, from livestock management and water systems to backup power and equipment maintenance. We discuss practical topics like how to triage problems on a homestead, how to decide what truly needs redundancy, and how to apply risk and cost benefit analysis to everyday decisions. For example, is it smarter to run a lawn mower until it dies, but maintain a generator carefully to extend its life? Abraham explains how to develop simple systems, preventive maintenance routines, and standard operating procedures that reduce stress and prevent small failures from turning into big ones. This conversation is packed with practical preparedness advice for homesteaders, preppers, and anyone interested in building reliable off grid systems. Abraham also shares insights from running Bluewater Barnyard, where he and his family raise Nigerian Dwarf goats, poultry, and pigs in a tropical climate. We talk about resilience in hot and humid environments, hands on troubleshooting, building equipment that is fit for purpose, and breaking large projects into manageable steps. If you are interested in homesteading, preparedness, engineering thinking, risk management, preventive maintenance, or building systems that actually work when things go wrong, this episode delivers practical strategies you can apply right away.
