I know this is 2 years ago so I don’t know if you will read this comment. Big fan of what you guys are doing. If I were younger I would be doing the same thing. I work at Kellogg and the water container you have are the same container we have at our plant in Wyoming Mi. We make rice Krispy treats.
You Need a rock cistern right where your collection area is. Back in the day the old timers built them for the same reason. Inlet and outlet pipe screened on both ends and a hand pump. Thank you for the videos. Most excellent.
A hand cranked Archemedes screw would be a pretty fun thing to build to lift the water out of that pond and into a water tote next to the little pound.
Ryan if you pump to lower 275 it might be much faster. Then with a short wide hose pump up to top of second and fill from top. Your little pump is fighting line friction and pushing water from bottom into 275. If your stream is slow to fill hole then your idea makes more sense. Do you add a little bleach to sterilize?
I watch many channels at twice the speed to just get the jist of it and move on. Your pieces however, I Enjoy SO Much, I watch at a quarter speed to make them last longer and Really Savor... But then Your voice is really Scary. 😂😉
Haha! I often think while editing these videos together, "will anyone actually want to watch 30 minutes of me chopping stuff up with a chainsaw? Shouldn't I just make these 5 minutes long to make sure that people don't get bored?" I guess you answered the question.
you are living my dream I love these videos I live in michigan as well wish I could come tour everything you have done and see in person how it is to live out there
I really like to see the ingenuity of your minds, so much so that I’m binge watching all your videos. Keep the videos rolling along and your amazing minds flowing like honey into them.
Dude love the videos been watching you a while, you should hand drill a well there for your water. would be a good video for you. if i ever can come up ill bring my lucas sawmill up we could run some boards on it. thanks for weekly entertainment.
Hello from a farmstead in rural upstate New York. Love watching your progress and am looking forward to more videos! Loving your philosophy on life and REALLY living!
Thank you so much! I am sitting in my tent, running my computer off a big car battery and editing a new video before heading out to fire up my horse/trough hot tub for the first time this season. I just filled the second (lower) water tank and while I had the Ryobi pump out, I figured why not get the hot tub set up. It was a real pleasure to see your comment. It truly made my day!
If you dig one or two concrete rings to ground to well like hole that would hold water quite nicely and longer in to season. And if you do that in dry season then you wouldnt need to dig in "swamp".
Thought here go for a pipe well into the ground there it is a water place for you a spring that is nature's way of giving to you good water and also insulate the 2 tubs with moss & bark plus pine needles branches it will help with the insulation and also put black tar around it the mold won't grow in the water then!!!
Awesome job fellas ! .... it's great to have found your channel .... it's hard to find people who do and act like real regular Men 😁 ..... I'm hooked on your tree house .... I am buying land soon ..... I'm thinking 16 x 16 Home ! With a shower 😁 12 ft off the ground .... fun fun
I understand that pumping up hill is actually easier but is it not more inefficient use of the power/pump to push it against the weight of the water in the tote versus pump into the top with no resistance?
Do you think the pump would have worked faster and/or been more efficient if you had piped in the water from the top so that it doesn’t have to work against the water that’s already in the tote?
So glad I'm catching this at the beginning it's fantastic, love it. I'm dreaming up ways to improve your road and path system. Any way you can get a hold of loose rock in your area? I'd just be duping the big rocks into the big holes and fill in with the smaller stuff maybe some 2 sided logs across at really nasty points, kind of a bridge over an impasse. Keep rocking
For sure! I was planning to do that until I found the little drainage. The rain here usually comes with storms and a lot of wind. I end up having to take all the tarps down so they don't get trashed. I'm sure there has to be a way tho.
'Stale water' (3 day old urine) was the original cleaner, used for thousands of years. (Urea breaks down into ammonia, and other stuff, over that time.)
I got a cheap Yamaha guitar I bondoed for like 20 bucks doesnt sound bad plays decent from a a truck place in chicago and I had a cheap violin dont remember what I did with it not so easy to play. for $120. I think pawn shop special hey dont be waitin for any concerts or street work any time soon.
Yeah. Looked at some options for wells. Unfortunately the ground is all rock here with a few inches of topsoil on the surface. Can’t even build an outhouse as I’d hoped because I can’t dig the hole.
Ha! That is the one thing that I had planned on building even before I found the property. Unfortunately, there are so many huge, dead trees to take down and deal with in the spot that I want to do it, I just didn't have the energy to start. It WILL be sweet tho NEXT YEAR.
Watch "Girl In the Woods" video. She and her husband dug a well on their property in the lower pensiula of michagan. Her husband' video is called Bush Radical
I can’t say exactly but with a shower every day, dish water and drinking water (that goes through a filter of course) I think the two tanks would last the entire spring, summer, fall. I tip them up every month or two so it’s hard to say exactly.
plumb top tank into bottom tank.... with top T for water entry.... bottom T for outlet hose...to camp... will have same high pressure of 8 ft or 8 PSI... and benefit of volume of water... also.. consider 12vdc boat submersible bilge pump.... when the water hole starts to dry... pump auto cuts off... set bilge intake on flat rock.... get a small 12"x12" or smaller ... very cheap solar panel to keep lawnmower battery charged at waterhole for pump... and if really way out... get a float valve and bell wire from top of tank to pump... THUS: water problem solved... then you can concentrate on driving a 1 1/4" pipe in the ground for permanent water source... probably not need to push pipe but about less than 40 ft straight down..... it will do the trick... Good luck!!!
Ok., this drives me crazy! One of you guys get on your computer. Go to you tube videos and look up a guy calls himself bushradical. He will show you, step by step, how to install a well for a Hand Pump. You don’t need a drilling rig. All you need are hand tools. It’s cheap, easy and economical. All the parts for the hand pump can be purchased on line. With a hand pump your water is perfectly drinkable. Forget the damn mud hole guys!
Look up Ram pumps Wranglestar has a good video about these free no energy pumps. Also you could drive your own well for under $300 bucks including the hand pump.
The stuff does look gross! I made my nephew do a blind taste test with my filtered swamp water and bottled water and he got it wrong! Doesn't TASTE like bear piss...
@@survivingringworm2202 the little crook on the end is what made me think that. looks just like an old trailer/buggy spring. but i watched again and you turned it sideways it looks like it has evenly spaced holes. If so that makes me wrong. :D
You can work this out with a simple rule: 1 foot of water creates 0.433 psi of pressure, and it takes 2.31 feet of water to create 1 psi of pressure.Dec 5, 2020
or hire somebody with a backhoe or bucket loader to come in and dig a few holes m make a cystern or dug out to collect ur water. Id almost be willing to bet your water table is pretty high maybe ten fifteen to twenty feet or just buy a power auger like for ice fishing or the cheapest is a hand a symour but whats good you can keep adding 5 foot sections until you hit a frock or something or a sand point that you just pound it into the ground nice if you have access to say to and air or an electric jack hammer or get a trailer that can haul one of you large tanks and find a small town or a lake and get a trash pump my town has a place near the water tower its a a quick fill like $.25 cents for say 500 gallons of water its cheap n farmers use it for spraying and mixing fertilizers but its available to anybody.
Isn’t it about time that you dig a well for year-round potable water. Watch the following video to see how to install a well on your property. (th-cam.com/video/wdMmaWIC1tU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TzReVJAK68IUTeYO). Perhaps you placement could coincide with the kitchen that you are building. It’s time to add some amenities to make your life better and safer.
@@survivingringworm2202 well the ones I've got you ant useing them for drinking water. I cut 3 in half for grow bed for aquaponices and the 4th I cut the top off for the fish tank.

Very good video keep up the good work your water system is working for you now maybe you could dig yourself well that would fill your tanks God bless
Klamath falls Oregon is watching, Pudding and cheese, lol...
The couch thing... True wisdom.
There is never gonna be a day on the couch you remember when you are 80 years old…wow,that hit me!

Love the vids
Awesome video guys! Always interesting in seeing how different things can be done in different ways
Catching up on the videos really like them.
You are my all time favorite.So genuine!!
If you dig one or two concrete rings to ground to well like hole that would hold water quite nicely and longer in to season. And if you do that in dry season then you wouldnt need to dig in "swamp".
I will get the ryobi stuff now! I had no idea how to pump water until today! Thank you.
The water pump (and all their other stuff) is great!
Good thinking guys
Muddy pudding is a standard around here.🐶just her feet though🐕
Bears can't open hot sauce bottles. Camp is safe. 🤣
It’s nice . It have to be so peaceful !
Thought here go for a pipe well into the ground there it is a water place for you a spring that is nature's way of giving to you good water and also insulate the 2 tubs with moss & bark plus pine needles branches it will help with the insulation and also put black tar around it the mold won't grow in the water then!!!
Nice setup! By the way (you probably already know this), the formula for water pressure in a gravity system is 4.3 PSI for every 10' of elevation.
Awesome job fellas ! .... it's great to have found your channel .... it's hard to find people who do and act like real regular Men 😁 ..... I'm hooked on your tree house .... I am buying land soon ..... I'm thinking 16 x 16 Home ! With a shower 😁 12 ft off the ground .... fun fun
Thanks Thomas! I like "regular men." Seems like that is beaten out of us (along with the ability to do things just for fun) from a young age.
I love watching these videos!! I’m fascinated by what you come up with!!
Thanks!
It is certainly bizarre and never ending up here. Cut down 5 trees for lumber today then built a shooting range.
Whud you do?
I understand that pumping up hill is actually easier but is it not more inefficient use of the power/pump to push it against the weight of the water in the tote versus pump into the top with no resistance?
If rain fall permits it, fill both tanks. Can later pump lower to top.
I still say a couple sticks of dynomite might blow a hole in the ground and of course its dangerous but since you got rocky soil.
Do you think the pump would have worked faster and/or been more efficient if you had piped in the water from the top so that it doesn’t have to work against the water that’s already in the tote?
Great video 👍👍

All good ideas. I am considering trying to build some sort of ridiculous bridge over the worst stuff. Just to make something else out of logs for fun.
@@survivingringworm2202 oh yes a ridiculous bridge sounds perfect, da Vinci developed a self supporting bridge that'd be right up your alley.
Big like my friends
Necessity is the mother of invention
Great video!
Maybee you could do some rain harvesting with tarps next time it rains.😁
For sure! I was planning to do that until I found the little drainage. The rain here usually comes with storms and a lot of wind. I end up having to take all the tarps down so they don't get trashed.
I'm sure there has to be a way tho.
build a cover for the outdoor kitchen put a metal roof on it drain the water into the tanks
Guys you inspire us!!! Keep going, love the attitudes and love your content!! Greetings from just south of the bridge!

This is now my favorite TH-cam channel I’m going to have to put my name on your picnic table
So far so good
Have you considered trying a drive point well?
Yeah. Looked at some options for wells. Unfortunately the ground is all rock here with a few inches of topsoil on the surface. Can’t even build an outhouse as I’d hoped because I can’t dig the hole.
@@survivingringworm2202 Dynomite!
Living the dream… with humor
That guitar has four strings so.... is it a big ukulele?
did you try to drive a shallow well?
I’d like to surgest using a cheap automatic bilge pump ,it’ll pump only when there’s water .
How about a outdoor kitchen.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice work we have a camp in Rock
Nice area! Hunting camp? Cabin?
Watch "Girl In the Woods" video. She and her husband dug a well on their property in the lower pensiula of michagan. Her husband' video is called Bush Radical
Ah yeah. I think I’ve seen that video. Unfortunately up here the ground is all rock.
What happened to the video of extra clips and banter? That one was hilarious.
I wanted to do an extra video every couple of months just of us talking and harassing each other but then he left...
So how long did the 275 gallons last? Thanks for sharing!
I can’t say exactly but with a shower every day, dish water and drinking water (that goes through a filter of course) I think the two tanks would last the entire spring, summer, fall. I tip them up every month or two so it’s hard to say exactly.

A point in the ground should work if you have sandy soil
if you bring in a backhoe to dig aboat 6 feet...then you would be able to drill for water.....

Tito does. That's why he isn't in the latter videos. I'm doing my best not to spend any money so I don't have to go back to the real world.

I tried to get a bernese mountain dog this fall but the real world stepped in and slapped that dream right out of my hands!
