Welcome to The Shack. Here’s a channel about off-grid cabin living and hunting. My slice of paradise is not connected to any public utility services such as electricity, water, or sewage systems. Instead, it relies on alternative sources of energy and resources, such as solar panels, generators, rainwater and harvesting.
This allows me to be more self-sufficienct and independent, but also requires additional planning, maintenance and hard work.
My off-grid cabin is located in the remote wilderness. The Shack can be used for a variety of purposes such as vacation home, hunting lodge, or permanent residence.
Please join my friends and I, on our journeys at The Shack. Enjoy!!!

Hey there, what is the GPM on the Flojet water pump you used for this Camplux?
Watching from Africa (CAMEROON)
@@FonyaMartin AWESOME!!👏🏻
Good Job. Good to learn. Is it possible to improve on filtration
@@FonyaMartin wow!! Thanks for watching!
They usually do way better in winter, and in the spring. We have more water than we know what to do with in winter and spring. Its august-september you really gotta worry about. That's when you want to scout and tap your springs ideally is during the dry season to make sure it's got good flow. If you can pick a year with a drought that's the perfect time to scout and tap new springs because the ones that still have water are the good ones. These ones look like decent springs though. Aught to still have water in the summertime. The collection method may need reworked to catch any stray seepage if it ever slows down too much but it'll probably do fine like it is for a long time.
It's sputtering like that because it's trying to airlock. The two springs going into one pipe need a settling box or something where they meet to flow into rather than a T. Or pinholes holes drilled in the pipe in high spots to let off some air pressure & just deal with any leaks. That's what I did when my 1100 foot run of pipe airlocked, just drilled holes in the fittings facing upwards so they won't leak unless the pipe is completely full in which case I've got plenty of water anyways
@@EthanPDobbins great info! Thanks 👍🏻
Great offgrid shower 🚿 setup…pretty sweet video…the I did that sticker added style points
@@IdahoNative thank you!!! 👍🏻
Why can't you use it in the winter? Pump freeze? Water tank? Is there a way to modify for freezing temps
Yes sir. Everything will freeze because it’s exposed to the elements. Tank, pump and heater. Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent
Thank you!!!
What fuse setup did ya use? Would love to replicate this setup
It’s a 15 amp fuse that can be purchased on Amazon. Thanks for watching!
Why did you need more than the the flow of the original spring? That looked like just over 1 gal/min which is 1,440 in a 24 hour period. That would be more than enough for 2-3 household(EPA est. 138-400gal/day for a typical family of 4) would be able to use that much water. That is not the proper way to develop a spring. Rule 1: do not disrupt the spring, Rule 2 do not obstruct the out flow. If either of these are not followed the outlet of the spring can move and seep from another location. 5gal/min, why do you need 7,200 gallon of water per day?
Consistency
I'm not understanding what the switch does? Turn the pilot off and on?
Yes, along with activates the water pump. Cheers
Yeah they're not great with rust unless it's really loose. I just picked up this model on sale for $68 so can't wait to upgrade from my plastic harbor freight one.
Great purchase. Been there done that. Enjoy!
Pretty cool setup, I watched your earlier video when you set in the second line and noticed it pulsating. I wonder if you can add a "T" fitting at the top of the source to allow air in ? Kinda like poking a whole in a gallon jug and the flow is faster and it doesn't pulse. A spring house at the bottom would be pretty cool!
Great ideas! Thank you
It pulses because it air locks due to high and low spots. Low spots fill with water while high spots try to suck a vacuum and can't. Having a t up top doesn't help unless it's well below the spring it might help. I have found to cure airlocks i gotta go to the high spot above a low spot and just drill a pinhole. That's the real easy way.
Great stuff man. How would you move the spring water UPHILL if the spring was at a lower level to your property?
Good question, my friend I would consultant expert
Either let it flow into a tank and bury a line to the tank and use a submersible pump, or if the flow is heavy enough you can run it through a ram pump and pump like 7 feet high per 1 foot of drop in the pipe going to the ram pump. You can drop it 10 feet to the pump and it'll pump like 70 feet up the mountain. Measure your elevations with google earth and then estimate on the high side to make sure you have plenty of drop to pump it high enough. You'd want to pump it 40-50 feet in elevation above your house to a tank which would then give you good water pressure at the tap from the fall & head pressure. Ram pump is more complicated but doesn't need electricity. But the smallest ram pumps need something like at the very least 1gpm flow from the spring to be viable. So a spring that does 1 GPM in the spring that drops to say .5gpm in a drought or late summer won't work. It needs to produce at least that through the hot and dry season to keep running year round. So it depends somewhat on your situation which way you should go.
@@EthanPDobbins, thank you so much for the comprehensive reply and for taking the time. Drop is approx 6ft, tank sits at +120ft so I don't think the ram pump will work with this setup. The tank could be moved lower but then will certainly need a pump to pump water out. Also the water source is a natural reservoir within a creek - in the summer months when irrigation demand is high, the water flow along the creek (and into the reservoir) isn't high and so non-stop pumping with a ram pump will deplete the reservoir at some point (6 hours? a day?) and then it may take a while for it to refill, plus I've been told it's a bad idea to run a natural reservoir dry. Again, thank you very much for the response and stay safe out there.
@@invisiblesurfer yea for something like that a ram pump definitely won't work out. But I've seen folks dig down into the creek and sit a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and holes drilled into it all around it down in the hole for a temporary shallow well to pump from a creek when it was getting dry. I reckon you could do something similar with just about any pipe or container maybe even concrete it all in around the top to help keep it from washing out. The container is to help keep from sucking gravel and sand up into the pump but you could also just lay the pump in on a piece of thick rubber or with the end on a big flat rock or something to help keep it from sucking sand up off the bottom and wrap the end with fine mesh window screen and cover it with big rocks to keep it in place and keep the leaves and stuff out of it. You still got the same risks of drinking bear poop but tapping into a creek as a reservoir is doable i think.
@@EthanPDobbins this is a great idea, I will certainly look into it!
I would put a small tank so the water can be filtered through the tank and you could have a bit of better pressure
I agree. Someday I will.
@@stabski33 a food grade 275 gallon IBC is about 100 bucks. It'll work great. But with heavy flow like this even a plastic 50 gallon barrel would probably do fine. Could also use an old equipment tire or a old deep freezer. Or make a concrete tank, or even mortar and stone with this high of a GPM the tank doesn't have to be a bajillion gallons.
It’s part of a piano!
I agree! Thanks for watching.
I watch many similar videos. You sir have a great voice for this. Good luck to you.
Much appreciated!! Thanks for watching.
it's a dog 🐕
That’s what I’m thinking too. Thanks for watching!!!
Placed my order on the 6th receive confirmation number. A week later receive an email stating they are out of stock and won't know when they will have a unit available for 5 weeks. So my only option are to cancel my order or wait for 5 weeks for news when they will be available. Even right now on this website it shows they have units available for sale and have a delivery date for a week and half. Very disappointed and I will be telling everyone to avoid this company. I put a one star review on their website and It never registered my review it appears they only put 5 and 4 stars on their website. Be careful with this company.
I’m very sorry to hear that about this fine company. You should contact @campluxoffical Did you place your order on Amazon??
The pulsing water at the end is likely due to air that is in the hose. I bet overtime that disappears once the temperature increases, and that hose flattens out. That is a nice flow. I agree with others… Whenever you can save up enough money, buy as manytwo or $3000 water tanks and just keep filling them up all year. Just amazing.
Will do my friend. Thanks for watching!
Great job and very simple system. I love it. I have Landon Kentucky and I found a little seep in two areas and so glad I found this video.
Glad you found it as well. Enjoy your treasure!!!
It looks like you have plenty of room inside; why not use an rv/boat fresh water tank or bring your water barrel & battery inside?
@lcutmetal The extra space is nice for a dry/ changing area. Also in the winter I put a heater in there. Thanks for watching👍🏼
@@stabski33 What kind of heater do you use- diesel? How do you keep your water supply from freezing outside?
@@Icutmetal I use a tower kerosene heater. For water I have an active spring that produces water year round. I carry the water to the shower and fill the tank for my daily usage.
WHAT THE F**** Is going on here??? 😂 What kind of footings are those?? Wouldn’t last a week here in England with that setup, I bet it’s not level after this time or standing?! 😂🤣
Works great and it’s still level. My grounds are extremely rocky which in turn creates a great bldg base. Thanks for watching!!
The voice song along with the water flowing and singing amidst the frozen landscape is SO Winter Wonderland time !!! Thanks

Thank you very much!!
We hung a buck pole at my buddy's property last year. I was just looking at ways to upgrade it a bit and see what other tweaks/methods people are using. Holy hell, I never thought of a sliding rail like that. I would have loved an in depth look at that rail system (and maybe even the installation thereof). Really good stuff either way, nice work!
Thank you very much. That’s a barn door rail from Tractor Supply. I’ll put together a rail system video in the near future. Thanks for your time. Happy hunting!
