Thanks for the shoutout! Yep, your camera and tripod are really upgrading the video quality of your channel. Looking great brother, loving the content. thanks for another interesting and informative video.
Another very useful, clear video about what to do! Your generosity is so refreshing in these times when everyone has their hand out for every little thing. Much appreciated!
@@basecampwnc1745 All is well. We had a lot of trees thinned & we're racing the return of the rains bucking off the branches, cutting those trees into 8', 10' & 12' logs. Then we're winching them out to the two track & stacking them up off the ground onto pallets & log ends that are too thin to mill. We'll get all the piles tarped up before the rain starts & get to 'em over the winter on dry days milling them into cants & stickering them in the barn. Since they're noble fir they probably wont make good lumber if they spend another winter on the ground in the rain. Ok for stove wood still, but we need the lumber so it's a race we've been running all summer. So no, we're not really "ready" for winter, but that's how it goes. But we sure are happy & so blessed! And that's what counts. 😊
Appreciate the video. I like the idea of waiting till you get the dam in place before drilling. thoughts on a measurement from the hole down to ground on the dam side that you find is best. Thanks again.
I really appreciate your videos! I'm trying to do one and well I'm a single woman and I don't always know what the pieces are I need but I know what I need them to do. I went to the hardware store and explained my project. While they liked the idea and thought it was great, they had no idea what I needed to run the pipe through the wall. Literally I got a blank stare and shrug. Finally I ended up getting a bulkhead fitting at another bigger hardware store but that was expensive and they only had one. First one was a small store but they had everything you just showed.
You need a 1-1/4” hole saw this drills the clean hole in the dam wall The fittings that screw in the wall are white PVC it is a 1” male adapter. 1” male pipe threads on one end and pvc glue fitting on the other You need 2 of them Then you need 2 pieces of 1” pvc pipe about 10” long. These are the ones that collect the water drill 10 1/4” holes in them You need 2-1” caps for the ends There’s your dam wall build Now to run the pipe to the spring box if you run pvc pipe you need 2-1” female adapters these are 1” female pipe thread and a 1” glue on the other If you run black poly pipe it’s a 1” female thread and on the other is 1” hose barb There normally grey and with the black pipe in the store Does this help you 2-1” pvc male adapters 2-1” pvc caps 2-1” pvc female adapters 2-1” female black poly to hose barb 2 feet or more 1” pvc pipe Take some pictures of your build so I can see what your project looks like and can help you Would also like to post them to help others And as always subscribe like and share Thanks Eric
The new camera is great and I enjoyed seeing you in the video. Good job! I bought property in Oregon and have a unique need where we have water rights fed by a river that flows down an irrigation ditch up hill from our property. This ditch leeks causing it to seep underground then running next to a road, flowing into a culvert into my property. My goal is to capture this wasted water and irrigate with it. I will document all this and send you an email to see if you can assist.
Do or will you get a permit to capture that water Just kidding But yes I would like to post them to show others your ideas And as always subscribe like and share Thanks Eric
@@basecampwnc1745 I have water rights to irrigate my 4 acres from the ditch. However, the culvert is a different story. I did have the county come out to discuss and they suggested to just capture it and use it. My property slopes back to the river at the end of the 4 acres so it eventually makes its way back down. In May when they first turn the irrigation there is 25 gallons per minute coming out of the culvert and in a few months it slows down to a gallon per minute.
Another helpful video. Good camera work👍 Just finished my double dam to cistern last night. Will send ya some pics on the procedure. Only problem was my helper and I forgot to add two hose clamps to the inside bung nipple for the 3/4” reinforced hose from the pump 🙄. So this morning I get to do some snorkeling in our 2500 gallon cistern!
Yes you will need to clamp that hose to the barb fitting Don’t make the mistake I made on a setup I used those pinch clamps. And after a couple days of use the hose blew off So go with the screw clamps and save some work down the road Looking forward to seeing your pictures
Great job one of the biggest things I learned from you was bentonite clay. I used clumping kitty litter (same thing) because I could source the clay locally. My dirt has almost no clay in it so without that tip I would have been screwed.
I have heard about using kitty litter That may have come from you Will buy some and try it Glad that you found an idea from my channel that came on useful Thanks for your comment Eric
1” black poly pipe will gravity flow 14 gallons per minute I have only run into a couple springs that flow more than that Well pumps flow around 10 gallons per minute So I use mainly 1” so I only need to keep one size on hand
I am trying to revamp an old spring catchment and sent ya an email last week with pictures. If you have time I’d like to run some ideas by ya for making it useful again.
I love the spring videos. I hope all is well.
Looking forward to fall
@@basecampwnc1745 The same here. Now that I'm permanently here in Georgia/ North Carolina mountains, I have the time to capture another spring on my property.
Good job on the demonstration.

How’s things going with you
Fall is approaching
Are you ready for winter
Hope all is well

Then you need 2 pieces of 1” pvc pipe about 10” long. These are the ones that collect the water drill 10 1/4” holes in them
You need 2-1” caps for the ends
There’s your dam wall build
Now to run the pipe to the spring box if you run pvc pipe you need
2-1” female adapters these are 1” female pipe thread and a 1” glue on the other
If you run black poly pipe it’s a 1” female thread and on the other is 1” hose barb
There normally grey and with the black pipe in the store
Does this help you
2-1” pvc male adapters
2-1” pvc caps
2-1” pvc female adapters
2-1” female black poly to hose barb
2 feet or more 1” pvc pipe
Take some pictures of your build so I can see what your project looks like and can help you

I’m wondering if there is a reason why you use 1” pipe? I need to rebuild a spring system that already uses 2” black poly
1” black poly pipe will gravity flow 14 gallons per minute
I have only run into a couple springs that flow more than that
Well pumps flow around 10 gallons per minute
So I use mainly 1” so I only need to keep one size on hand
