My grandparents pumped water into their kitchen sink. There was a big pump on the outdoor side of the same wall. The bathroom was outside… no pump there if you get my drift. I’m old but it was only 60 years ago that many rural households had no “running water”.
Exactly - I'm 70 and grew up without running water until I was 16. Our out-house was a tarp around a tree.
@@nvwilderness6902 I’m 70 also…
Nice! My 88 year old father lives way up north, no running water, has an outhouse. He still chops wood and uses it for heat and cooking. Hes in better shape than guys 15-20 years younger than him. A local spring is his source of water.
It sounds good until you actually try living like that. You end up spending most of your day just struggling to exist. You have no time for getting ahead of things. I have been living off the grid for 12 years and I can tell you about 1/3 of my day is just doing stuff that modern convenience has eliminated. And I have solar power. If you add in food growing and hunting/fishing you have no time for anything but existing.
@@viking8889 I guess getting away from his ex wife( my evil stepmother) is worth it!😆
If that's the lifestyle you enjoy, existing is ok ❤️
@@viking8889 Even living on a property with an old house dependent on rainwater tanks, the days are spent fixing roof and roof guttering, storm water pipes, plumbing, pressure pump,.... while the rest of the house falls down. It gets exhausting.
That's great! Thank you for sharing!
Dont forget parts to rebuild the pump
Especially that one! ha ha From the looks of it, it came from a far away land where things are made cheaply and break. If you know what I mean. ROFL
I can honestly say that there isn't one video of yours where someone can't learn something valuable, you are doing a great service to everyone out here watching. Thanks for all you do to help others.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Ditto!
Lived on a gold claim in eastern Oregon for awhile. “Running water” was gravity fed through a garden hose from an open spring on the hillside. Heated water on the stove for cooking, dishes, and baths. Of course had to drain hose between uses in the winter, but best dang water I ever had!
A manual water pump is a great idea - Especially when you have 7 kids!
(Manual labor for kids is always a good lesson for Life).
Hey Jason, Great tip. I would suggest a 12VAC water pump for boats. Then fill a dozen cans and you have water for a week or two. A small solar cell and a marine boat battery could do all the work on a sunny day in an hour or two.
Thanks for this! God bless!
One of the nice things about living in Alaska, besides all the other reasons, is there is always water near by. No snakes or venomous spiders, and plenty of water. I keep a bicycle around so if I have to I can take it and a couple buckets to a nearby creek. I can hang a water filled bucket from each side of the handlebars to keep it all balanced, and walk the bike home, letting the bike do the hard part. That’s just one option. I also store water, but there’s often not a way for most of us to store a lot of water. I’ve also identified 2-3 springs nearby that stay open (un-frozen) year around, even at 20 below zero, even though the little streams they feed are only a few inches deep.
Give me snakes over hormonal mooses any day.
1. My one car garage is attached to my house. One downspout comes down the left front corner of my garage. I’m going to divert water from the downspout into my garage and into 55 gallon (4), food grade barrels, all connects just like you would if they were outside. All raised up on cinder blocks and strapped to the garage wall, like you would do in earthquake country. The Overflow line would run back to the front of the garage along the wall and exit thru the outside wall right onto the existing splash pad where the downspout is located. I’m ordering some samples of clear roof coating to try on some roofing shingles to see if they seal the shingles and if the can be detected on roofing shingles. I want to seal the shingles, so I don’t get any hazardous chemicals in the rainwater that comes off the asphalt roof shingles. I saw a company online that sealed asphalt roofing shingles that prolong the life of the shingles. I’ll post the name of the company next Monday or Tuesday, when I find it. 2. I’ve looked up how far down the water table is in my area. I may be able to dig a shallow well at the back of my house next the the foundation and the hide it under something back there. Look up “ Digging a Shallow Well” on RUclips. 3. Solar powered dehumidifier that has a pump built into to it, so the distilled water can be pumped into 5 gallon jugs. I think I might need to add minerals or something to that water, if my memory serves me. I do have a Big Berkey Water filter with extra black filters to run all of the water thru, especially for drinking. There’s what’s on my mind for getting water when you don’t have a deep well or a fresh water creek close by. Anyone have any other ideas? Stay safe everyone!
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless!
If at all possible if you can store the water in a natural pond or pool and get away from plastics of any kind that would be best. A slow sand filter complete with a living Schmutzdecke will serve you well. I would add you can buy a water test kit to determine the drinkability of your drinking water and id use that kit regardless of whatever drinking water supply you have. If you have the money you could even buy fa ield portable gas chromatography/mass spectrometer to detect just about anything in your samples. Lots of the devices have preloaded signatures of things you might detect so if you do detect something, you will know fairly quickly. Anyway keep up the good work on these RUclips’s. I appreciate them
Thank you for that very useful info. You should do some videos on this.
@@Lily-has-wings thanks lily-has-wings; there are lots of videos and literature on making slow sand filters. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry likewise has video tutorials.
@@ImNordicCelticSlavicIbericHan Guess what videos I will be watching during my bubble bath tonight? Yep! You gave me the inspiration. Thanks again. ( I have a 150 foot deep well and a large stocked pond so I find this very interesting.)
@@Lily-has-wings a 150 foot deep well might be wonderful. But theres no guarantee that the overlying ground will protect the aquifer from which your well taps. There are studies that show many aquifers are contaminated by things such as nitrates from septic fields and fertilizer runoff, fracking fluids from gas well, even radioactive elements from atmospheric nuke testing back in the ‘50s to ‘60s. Thus my suggestion if you can afford it to get a field portable gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer to sample your well water to ensure it meets your needs. Bubble baths are fun and whimsy. But if they runoff into your well stocked pond that might be painful for the life resident in said pond. I try to treat all life as if they are my kin.
you need to set all the roofs up for rain catchment and get a 2500 gallon tank from home depot
and decent filtration!
Definitely boil and filter because of bird droppings on the roof
@@Randy2747 All of rural Australia collect their water from their rooves and myself and everyone else I know happily drink our water without filtering and boiling. It is that town water that is chlorinated and fluoridated that makes you feel ill.
Against the law in some states.😢
@@kare7840 Really? Why is collecting water off roof against the law in some states? And which states?
Water "Is" life !!!
Thank you for watching!
Nice video!
Just a heads up: it might be the lighting, but that elbow sure looks like black pipe, not galvanized. If it is black pipe it will rust very soon. Black pipe is typically used for natural gas and propane, never for water.
To replace it you'll need a 3/4" galvanized street elbow, available at most hardware stores.
Another person commented that pex would be better than PVC for drinking water and I concur with that. If you paid someone to do this work, I would not hire them again.
Cheers
Another great video. I always see people ask, "What is the one thing you would take with you in an emergency?" The answers always differ, all front intelligent people. If it's a true SHTF emergency, my answer is water. Currency of some sort would be second, but I want to make sure my family and I have water; not assuming I can just purchase it no problem.
Don't forget is easier to carrie a water filter along with a canister
My simple "thoughts" on survival water:
1. Priorities; you can go without food a lot longer then without water so should be a top preparing item.
2. Personally I think 1 gallon of water per-person-per-day is extremely conservative; having worked outside in Florida or hiking the Appalachian Trail the consumption of water was over 5 gallons per day. If SHTF, I think most of us will be in a more physical lifestyle and consume more water.
3. Water, will be one of the most valued tradeable items.
4. I think incremental water preparation best:
A. Bottled water
B. 5 gallon water containers.
C. 50 gallon rain barrels connected to the downspouts.
D. If you have a Well; manual water pump kit with hoses
E. (Expensive). Solar portable generator with panels. The generator simply needs the capacity to be able to pressurize water occasionally. No frills solar generator just for your water.
F. Water filtration does come into play depending the area.
What brand of pump and how deep can the well be and still pump water?
You should look for an old pump jack. It operates a hand pump with an electric motor? They were used on a lot of farms 4:39
...But did he also get replacement mechanical parts for the pump. Things always go down when you least expect it. Having spare/replacement parts is a must. Failure to do so is as good as not having a well at all.
That’s a great set up! You might want to invest in a water distiller too because it will remove radiation from the water in case of nuclear bombing.
FFS, if it ever came to that then you're better off running outside and try to catch the nuke!
By the way, rumor has it that nukes don't really exist. It's a fear tactic like everything else we've been told just like virus's, landing on the moon, covid, HIV, Spanish flu, Polio etc etc
Pump your water into a food grade bucket.
I would have used a piece of PEX for the down spout. Not the PVC it's very brittle and will snap off. It also makes the water taste like PVC. Using brass or copper fitting is best for rust and long lasting service.
Instead of storing lots of water (that can go bad), maybe get a good water filter like a Berkey or a Sawyer? You can filter pond or creek water whenever you need it. You would save a lot of space and money for all the water containers.
That appears to be a “Simple Pump”. I have had one as a backup In combination with an electric submersible pump on an 8” well casing 100 ft deep. It is a deep well “pressure pump”. In other words it works up to 350 ft deep and can be plumbed to pressurize your lines to supply your dwelling. I highly recommend. American made too.
Every time I hear this guy say he has 7 kids, it always baffles me. My parents raised 4 kids and it was chaos, I can’t even fathom 7 little nightmares lol
I like those it gives you something to do while your at the bug out location, things that keep you business and mobile!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Where are you bugging out to? Sure, civil war is coming, but what good does it do you to go from a nice house in one part of a war-torn country to a tent with a poop hole in another part? If there's a safe place to go, why aren't you there already?
80,000!!! Damn! You need a bug out spot in Oklahoma, way cheaper. Pretty much all of Oklahoma is a bug out place!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you like that nasty humid air, and high winds
@@kurtrussell5228 and don't forget about our tornados
Except for the 'indigenous' storms.
@@g.m.robertson8700 I don't what an indigenous storm is...
@@jarenkiser8050 how bout lets talk decent.
I wonder if my HOA would let me drill a well on my property? No? No well! Okay. Can’t have rain barrels outside either but I have an idea to get around that one. Back to work I go. Thank you Jason for getting us to think about saving water. Water is number 1 on my list. Stay safe everyone and keep prepping every day because it’s the only way ……… short pause……. TO SURVIVE!
In extreme circumstances the HOA can kiss my A-S-S! A lot of sycamore trees near us, hence water not too far below us.
Would love to hear your idea. I have the same concerns.
I would not comply. Get a well. Put a shed if possible on the top of it. I.m sure they allow for a small shed for tools , "flower" gardening, etc
@@mariusneumayer4419 A lot of them don't allow for sheds.
@@mariusneumayer4419 I also have a section of my garage downspout I can detach to reroute the flow into the garage and into a food-grade 55 gal. container for purification. (I like to keep things hidden). These containers are purchased cheap if you're near a soft drink processing plant.
We had one of those in our kitchen until early 1940. Always worked, although it had to be primed occasionally. In 1940, the local power company extended the lines along our road courtesy of President Roosevelt's REA. After that, we no longer needed kerosene lamps, and we installed an electric water pump. Still had to milk the cows by hand though.
That's great! Thanks for watching!
My dad was a well driller. He sterilized his wells with bleach. After pumping all remnants of the bleach out he would send a water sample to the state. If I were you I would send a sample to the state and purify it if necessary.
You're a good man. Nice find of a property with water. God Bless
I appreciate it. Thank you! God bless!
@@JasonHansonSpyBriefing Seven kids? You must be very optimistic about the future!
Manual pump was a great idea. I live on the Ohio River, yes it is polluted, but if need be, I can haul water and do what I have to do.
Also be mindful of the water table in your area. Excess well irrigation can dry up the land.
Thanks!
How deep can this well be to work with this hand pump system? Most of the standard hand pumps only work to depths of 25 feet - pretty shallow. Also, any hints on water storage for cold climates ? All those containers would freeze during the winter without providing supplemental heat.
Might need replacement too. That things shaking around as you pump it
How deep of a well will that hand pump work with? And do you have a source/link to get one?
1. You can construct a dual solar bottle purifier using large pop bottles. It will filter and purify salt water or urine.
2. Most states, with the exception of the one in this video, are divided into water districts. You need a permit, even to dig a very simple well (with your fingers crossed that you hit water).
3. The important things are that you need storage containers and a way of getting the water out of the containers that a 6 year old can do. I have inexpensive, battery operated pumps available.
Great if you live where it often rains and there are no substances on the roof that can kill you.
Thank you so much for sharing! God bless!
Now we're talkin'! Subscribed, bell rang, commented, liked, upvoted, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel.
Thanks for the sub! God bless!
How deep is your well? Most hand pumps only raise water about 20 feet or so, so if you have a deep well no go. I have a shallow well 24'. both jet pump and manual pump are at 20' but my water is at 8' so water isn't a problem. My manual pump is outside my pumphouse so freezing is a problem in winter but I've solved this with a valve inside pumphouse (below manual pump) I open valve to drain down and close in Spring. If I lose power in Winter I simply close valve, prime and pump all I need and rewinterize.
I've never seen an inside well, only outdoors. I like the idea of an indoor well, because no one on the outside can gain access to poison it.
I would like to hear more about long term water storage and stabilization. How long is it stable and how fast does plastic leach into the water if stored in plastic?
A dual pump setup would have been better in my opinion. During easy times the electric pump would have made life simpler. During hard times or harder times, if you had the power, the ability to pump water with electricity from any source would save personal energy and calories when calories might be harder to come by or the person who has to pump the water has less energy than the person who was supposed to pump the water but can not pump for whatever reason. It would potentially take a load off of a person who is doing more than the can or should to maintain body energy needed to survive.
Thanks for sharing. God bless!
This is all well and good for people who actually care about living
Was wondering if you have information on storing water barrels in hot weather.
Thanks
One must always be prepared, as best they can but, ultimately, we are all in God’s hands. May God be with you and your family, sir, in the days ahead. We just might need these things for a season.
Cool, this is life saver 💦 need some light filtration/blocking windows dressing (remember?)
Great info, Jason!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I live off-grid and remote. Same state as you. Who makes this pump? Thanks.
Very good idea Jason! I would choose a manual pump as well. Have a great day!
Thanks! You too!
I think Simple pump have an off grid solar attachment keep such a hand pump working and fill your tanks up.
Good informational video. Did you fill all those water jugs with your manual pump?
I want to think that this bug out place would also incorporate water harvesting methods too. Simple and free.
Is that a self priming pump? What if it loses prime. How does it work
Great find and investment.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
How do you keep the water in totes fresh over a klong time. Do you add a teaspoon of bleach to the large buckets?
You need 3 gallons of water per person per day. 1 for drinking. 1 for cooking. 1 for sanitation.
Clean water,
Grey Water
Black Water
You can use reuse the water.
Grey water to flush Black Water. (Saves ~ 25% water)
Why not get a pump with solar panels? Thanks for the tips!
This is awesome. How deep is the well?
Looks like a good plan Jason. I'm wondering how far from the surface the level of your groundwater is? Seems like it may have to be a fairly shallow well in order to hand pump it?
Yes. Double your water supply. Critical
What system/company you use
To filter out your water well?
Was thinking of doing this
in our far away remote Asian home
Times are changing. I don't think Walmart allows overnite stays anymore. Hotels will kick you out of their lot and so will hospitals. As a woman I would never use 24 hr gym unless you can conceal yourself in a vehicle like a van. Churches may be ok for a nite but I got kicked out there too because of how their liability insurance works.
Where is the link for that hand pump?
What pump is this & where did you get it?
Hey Jason, you should check the Flojak hand well pump. It's a half the price and can pump 5 - 10gals a min. I can send you one to review if you'd like?
His pump DOSENT pump on both the up AND down stroke!
45% LESS work!
How deep is your well in vertical feet to water? My home well is 65 feet to water.
That looks like a bored well. Why not have both manual and electric?
Watched the whole video, must've missed the secret
Do you put anything into the stored water to preserve it longer?
Thanks jason🎉
Thank you for watching too Valerie!
What is the flow rate? Do you have a larger tank for your home.? This is a ?? Bug out location only?
Thanks bub! Good luck with the new property.
Thank you! God bless you and your family too!
do you have a link for the manual water pump
Nice water cache. The blue box containers are running about $15 each. I have one.
Now I am looking for cheap ways to filter water with natural materials. No way I’m going to afford the off-grid setup like that, so I’ll do the best I can.
Thank you for sharing and watching! God bless!
Those pump can run a motor and solar cells, dual use
Simple Pump. That is the name. Have one. Is great.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
My Well has electricity tgat goes to my house. Is ygere a way to make my well manual when we lose electricity? If yes how? And how much will it cost me as i live on limited disability income
How deep is that well?? Most hand pumps do not do well if the well is deep.
What if after testing your well water it wasn’t good for human consumption??
Good stuff J., as always, you know if you move to my st., fl., you don't have to worry bout water !!!
Thank you for watching! God bless!
That is a good investment right there
Glad you think so too Jacob! God bless!
How deep is that well your hand pumping from?
Do u treat all that water u have on hand? Do u buy extra parts or another manual pump for backup
Unlimited water. Great except when the for the 2000 mile hose to the Atlantic Ocean kinks. Who said it was potable?
Have your well water tested….it should be fine to drink without filtering it, if it is a proper well. At least it would be nice to know, if or when the grid goes down.
When my late husband and I were newlyweds, we lived in an old adobe house that had a well connected to the house pipes. The water was rusty brown colored, but we didn’t get sick. Oh, we were renting the house for about nine months.
Thank you for sharing! God bless!
Good Idea , Thank You
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I am just trying to survive, buying food , gas , shelter ,and medicine as a senior. Much less can't afford to purchase a bug out location.
My bug out location is in heaven. 🙂
@@__GALLANT__ Me too. I have a bar clamp that fits perfectly against my carotids.
I was taught that water becomes “hard” over time, (I don’t know what is meant by “hard”) and thus it’s not good to store it for too long a period. Is that not correct?
1 gallon per person per day? I guess that's fine of you're only going to drink it. Cooking, washing up, washing hands and faces at a minimum, cleaning spills to keep the ants out of the cabin.... That could take a few more teaspoons per day.
Excellent video. I'll be using some of your information for my own family.
If you're growing a garden, this won't even touch the amount of water needed!
I heard that you can only store water for 6 months? So are you having to dump all those containers constantly?
Soooo, you have a hand pump well and that is a big deal?
Any idea how far down the water is?
I live about a mile from a smaller tributary to a main river.
I just made 10 gallons of liquid laundry soap and it is so much cheaper that detergent in the store.
Why not have a solar panel to run a 12-volt pump?
Wonderful idea. I don't think the quality of that mechanism is going to hold up for the Long haul. It looks very cheap and like it's not going to last
Thank you for sharing. God bless!
"The Secret to an Endless Water Source for Off-grid Living" - buy a property with a well. I expected something different. I guess the point is put in a manual pump.
Your estimate of 1 gallon per day per person is way low. I have been living off the grid for 12 years. My average water consumption per day works out to 5 gallons. Of course it depends on what I am doing that particular day (active vs inactive) and the weather (dry vs humid, hot vs cold).
Also I shower (5 gallons for two soap ups with two rinse offs and a shampoo) 2-3 times per week.
Don’t even get me started on how much water it takes to wash clothes. It takes a lot of water to get soap out of clothes. And with 9 people you will use up a lot of water on washing up day.
You are not factoring in cleaning, rinsing (it takes way more water to rinse the soap off hands, dishes, cooking utensils, etc than you would think). In an arid environment if you are active or under stress you will need about 2 gallons a day just for drinking and food preparation to stay alert and healthy.
I suggest you try it for a week where you give everyone in your family just 1 gallon per day for their drinking, food preparation, cleaning, rinsing, showers, etc and tell me I am wrong. Let me know how the revolt from your teenage kids and wife works out after a week 😂
Good Evening ! How deep is your well ? TAKE CARE..
Its gotta be DAMN DEEP for that kinda money!
@@angelodallas2009 My buddy spent the same on his to go 200' here in Idaho. TAKE CARE..
My well is 150 feet deep. So far all the pumps I have seen on Amazon will only work for 25 to 50 feet.. I have some more research to do for sure. Any input that someone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Look at Bison hand pumps or The Simple pump both can go in deep wheels with low static water level
Thank you so much for the suggestions. This was so kind of you to take the time to answer my query. Going to look them up right now. Take care my friend.
NO MINERAL RIGHTS IN UTAH!!?? May want to consider the Simple Pump and a small solar system to run it. They are PROUD of their products, looks like your static level would comply.. m
