I’m in escrow on a property in Valle (Grand Canyon junction) … maybe I’ll run into you.

SU. He knows that and he made that fairly obvious.

Consider using bladders for transporting water… there’s some 265 gallon bladders and slightly smaller for 100 bucks or less on Amazon right now. You could put those in back of a truck or suv… won’t get as much all at once… but if you don’t have access to ibc or trailer etc… it’s good to know options … I’m planning on acquiring an suv w tow capacity and would like a trailer… but I may not get a trailer right away… plan to rent a U-Haul trailer if I need one… and I’m planning to set up rain water catchment, but will need to haul water in the beginning or from time to time. The bladder is easier to handle and you can fold it up and put it away when you are done.

Ewc has a report describing the contaminants … even though this water has passed federal regs… it can still contain contaminants and pass… go to environmental working group website

Yes indeed it has! There are always more like it. Type JakeAZagent into google and find my phone number. Let's chat!

YES! The suit! It is important. You will now never forget Jake from Suit Farm!

We can play the IF game all day long. But in this day and age, you have access to the internet which houses maps, gas prices, and MPG calculators. I think you could plug and chug a little to find out how much YOU would spend in gas to drive from your off grid location to Bearizona and back. Let me be honest, I am a Realtor and a TH-camr. I cannot be expected to estimate your finances for you. This video is simply informational about water and how to haul it. Somethings to consider...

You gotta pay for the things that you want. Northern Arizona is such a fantastic place to live for so many reasons. The sunsets are one of my faves! In this current dispensation, everything is expensive. And we did it to ourselves. So now, we partake of the consequences. In the end, it's only money. We can always figure out how to make more. That's the sacrificial game we play on the day to day. Great things cost more. And it's pretty great up here!

I am pretty sure you are correct. However, I have since purchased a bigger vehicle with a 7,000 towing capacity. So it really isn't a problem anymore. This video is about the water in NAZ and how to haul it. Thanks for caring about my choices though, it is appreciated.

That is awesome! Congrats! We catch rain water here, but we only use it for gardening and chickens!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The short answer is yes. Up here in Williams, drilling a well is nearly impossible because the water table is 3,000 feet below the surface. That is why we haul water. To build a house, the county will require you to put in a septic system. Other than that, you are allowed to build what ever you want (within reason) and plan to store water in a cistern so you have water at your home. I recommend calling Coconino County with any and all questions regarding their rules.

More to come!

YEAH! I did some water well drilling up in Snowflake for a time and we were getting water for a penny per gallon for our mud pump. Crazy how cheap water SHOULD be! But it is what it is and we do what we must :-)

Howdy neighbor! We should BBQ sometime!

I will admit that I appreciate the illusion of safety. I do not mind paying for it either

BLEACH! Add 1/4 cup of bleach per 200 gallons of water. Works like a charm

I have a solar powered well with a 2600 gallon tank, every now and then I check for algae, haven't noticed anything in the last two years since the well was installed. Big tanks are green or black and don't allow any sunshine in, therefore no allergy

Most people don't know you can't use the clear or white tanks... sunlight gets through which allows algae to form. @@theconchonetwork498

I say WELCOME! The most interesting people are the ones that you will never get to meet. CHANGE THAT

@@JakeAZagent Jake I'm glad for many of my new neighbors but recently had a really negative encounter with one who didn't want to be responsible for their animals but thought they could just let them roam free. I'm getting over it, there are folks like that everywhere. But prior to the mass exodus of city folks to the desert it was a lot more peaceful where I live. Change is happening for sure whether I approve or not. On the other hand I've met others who have brought some positive influence to our area. So not all are ill mannered and inconsiderate. I too have made mistakes and thought of myself more than how my actions could affect those around me. So I must give others a pass when they behave as I know I myself have in the past. It's just hard getting use to so many people moving in all around us where the only sounds use to be the wind blowing through the trees and the doves cooing. Now there are loud generators and cars racing up the road to the bus stop twice a day. Hey but that's life, things do change. I don't have to embrace it all with gusto. But I can look for the silver lining in the storm clouds.

... what about the matching tie 👔?! Lol 😆

That is why we have LARGE cisterns out here. I can fill my cistern to 2200 gallons which will last my family 5 weeks. Our weather out here is never bad enough to keep us from leaving the house for longer than 6 days. Hauling water is what we have to do to live. When life changes and things get hard, then we will adapt. But this process is easy and doable for the foreseeable future

I did not. In this day and age, I do not find calculating fuel to be essential because we drive so much, that we are going to fuel up anyway. Congrats tho on your 180 pounds deal! I'd appreciate a similar deal

My day job is being at home with my family. I get to be home because I chose to different, stand out, and make something of myself. I advise you to STAY at your day job, FOREVER

Yeah like valle if you don't want tree's

Always do your research. Other lots are less for many reasons.

Use websites like landwatch.com and realtor.com. Then ask local Realtor WHY they are so cheap. There is always a reason

I think not. You don't like what I wear, then stick to vids or normal people doing normal things.

Same goes to haters. Why waste all of our time with your dislike...

You're super welcome!!!! Glad I could help you

Unfortunately, that house went under contact 5 days after I shot this video. If you are house hunting, I advise you to choose a Realtor and work fast. Remember, you don't have to call the Realtor on the sign. Pick a Realtor that you like and they can help you ANYWHERE in AZ

Water totes do not typically just fly off trailers at 65 mph. They safely rest as long as their bottom surface is in complete contact with the trailer

I do! When I wear my, Realtor hat I wear my loud suits

@@JakeAZagent "flying off" driving down the road isn't the only issue. Your load must be secured and stay secured during an accident also. Do a little research of the laws on load securement. You will then figure out what I mean about large fines. I have handed out a few of those overpriced awards.

Truthfully, it isn't. Prices match the market, otherwise no properties would sell, ever. It may seem high because it's just dirt; but that dirt means a lot to someone out there. And in the end, it's only money. Happiness is worth all of the dollars that one had, has, and may never have.
