Most of us have zero understanding concerning the way God made human beings and the unique roles and strengths He issued to both man and woman. Now imagine if women had this prideful perspective when couples say "let's have a baby". His mother "did all the work" in order for this man to breathe his first breath: the same is true for any man who builds anything; A woman builds his arms, hands, muscles, lungs, heart, etc. inside her own body. Truth is, God gets the credit for everything we do. We as humans beings have not accomplished anything that the creator has not given us the strength to do.
We are in Northern Idaho (Sandpoint) and we had to drill almost 400 feet down to get to our water! 😳 Congratulations on your precious find! God is good!!!
1982 I bought 5 acres in central Oregon. Price included use of 1947 Federal Cable and Tool drilling rig. 400ft lava rock. Took a year in my spare time every day just about. I was 27, scared out of my wits. But I paid attention to the old boy that owned the machine and sold me the property. Kept a sharp built up bit, tight cable, drilled with lots of hauled in water. Every 5 ft took 5 gallons.
Sorry for just finding you 2 years after the last comment, a couple of points. Did you look at any geological maps before you started digging? Look for alluvial soils on your property. That will be your best chance of hitting water. Years ago, my brother and I hand a dug well using 4' wide concrete pipe 4' long, typically not past 30'(longest rope ladderI had). Layed the first section of pipe male side down. Leveled the ground inside the pipe cut under the high side under the pipe until that part dropped under its own weight. Verified NS, EW the levelness of female side up. Once the first section was ground level, a tripod was set over the pipe with a hay pulley and rope to lift the 5 gal metal buckets of borrowed soil. The hoist also set the next pipe. We were within a 1/2 mile of a major river in alluvial soil. We hit sand and gravel at 25' and just sand at 30'. Since we were digging a septic drywall, we stopped! All it cost my uncle was the cost of concrete pipe. BTW, we used a short handled Maddox and shovel. Oh, my brother was ten and I was twelve. The two of us didn't weigh 120 lbs together.
A few years ago I hand dug and emergency backup well. 4'6x4'6x12ft. I tried a few different methods before I actually just got in the hole and did it by hand. That augur is something I havent seen! Nice tool. The area that is caving in now might benefit from using water and a dirty pump to dig and widen further.
The liner keeps surface water, and water leeched from the upper level soils from seeping into your well. As well as worms and boring animals from tunneling in and dying in your water table. You only get water filtered through deeper channels below ground. The casing is usually surrounded my something like clay, or packs tightly and resist surface water. Just talking outloud :) Its SO nice to have seemingly limitless water just a few feet down.
Super fascinating vlog !! Your property really is gorgeous. You guys must just stand out in it and think "Wow.. is this actually where we live?" So cool !!
I dug a well when I was a kid. the hole was a shovel length across and I didn't make it 5 feet before more water filled in than I could dig out. My garden never had want for water after that.
Our family has three pure bred registered Boston terriers... Love them to pieces... and they drive me nuts.. all at the same time. Anybody keep envisioning Tux flying down the well hole?!? Anybody?? Little spaz... super cute.
This is my first episode, really interesting. I love history, and watching people live like our forfathers is wonderful. Thanks for bringing us along!! God bless!!
I didn't realize you need leg protection when using a chain saw until my 20 year old son said he almost sliced his thigh because his boss doesn't have the proper protective gear or any at all.
Great news that you found water so close to the surface, I'm genuinely glad for you you. But what are the practicalities of this well being so far from the house-site? After bringing in the heavy equipment to dig the well, at the very least you will need a remote power supply for the pump, so probably solar, battery and an inverter and it will need to be a reasonably large large pump to overcome the line losses for the pipe run which in a previous video you indicated was over 1000 feet plus whatever the elevation change is. And the whole line will have to be buried deep enough so as not to freeze in the winter, probably 3 feet if not 4 - so much more heavy equipment digging to be done. Have you balanced out the cost of these challenges with the cost of digging a well nearer the house, even it has to be a much deeper well? Hopefully a local well digging company can give you a decent cost comparison. Take best care guys. Cheers Carl
Good advice Carl! I am concerned about using culvert pipe as it might not be food grade safe for drinking water?? Also since you’re bringing in a backhoe I wood install cement drywell with a lid surrounded with fabric and rock. Trench a water line and electric to the house.
I'm hand drilling just like you are. Had to fight my way through 6 to 9 ft. of clay. Then it released into a darker red clay and just moist. 10 ft. down and found some hard rock. Now to find something to break that rock.
Hello there, if you want to go deeper and dont want the hole sluffing in all you need do is keep your hole filled with water. Or at least keep it filled higher than the level were you struck water. Thats how we dig ratholes in areas were theres surface water
Hello, my well is about 40 feet and the water is a little murky, is therea way to fix that? It appears the water to be clear but I have to change the filter like every month. Is there a way to fix that so I could get clear water all the time? Thanks.
I would definitely keep digging to 18 feet. You can always put your pump foot higher but at least you won't have to redig. And you need to get thru the clay layer to the sand beneath or your water will never be clear and clean.
Great job! this is what i'm thinking to for my garden grows. But where did you get this special kind of auger with handle? I couldn't find it. on amazon when you search for 6'' or 8 '' auger (with wood handle), only come those auger bits, or motor auger. Thanks!
Thank you for an interesting video from a UK viewer. Quite a few years ago, my uncle dug a well on his small farm. He started with one section of spun concrete pipe and dug from inside it so it sank under its own weight. When the top of that one was at ground level, he added another one and continued digging (all by hand!!). I guess he used a submersible pump to remove the water until the lowest pipe section was sufficiently below the water table to his satisfaction. Did you fill in the first hole (the dry one)?
Well ground water and aquifers are two different sources of water supples , aquifer water is a more pure good type of water where ground water could be contaminated at verying stages . of course you could find good useable ground water either way test your water regardless how far you go down for it,,
I've been wondering , why are you going for a 4 inch well? I've hand driven a 1 1/4" well and a 2" well. You can get driving points as well as couplers and use a fence post driver or I've even heard of using an air hammer (like you'ld use to break up concrete) to drive the well point and pipe. Oh well, maybe your way is more fun. :P
@@lawnmowerman4040 The first time I drove it with a sledge hammer while standing on a ladder...BAD IDEA!!!!! then someone suggested that I use a fence post driver and that worked well.
The water quality it was a good comment I was thinking the same thing if you're going to be drinking it or cooking with it. The other thing is instead of blowing a couple discs in your back why not borrow or rent a machine if not to do the work of boring the whole but at least to lift the drill out of the hole just an idea.
You can do that well if you just use two wood peaces to bring out the pipe from the well it will cave in for some time then it will stop take 2 wood peaces place them on the well and pix pipe in it the use a wood to loss it and bring it up
Exactly what i was thinking. Also the gullies were deep. You could have used the cut wood for filling in the gullies and try to keep the water on your land instead of letting it go and take some topsoil with it. There are many films about catching rain water. And please!!! do not burn the wood but use it to make your soil better and raise the groundwater level. Good luck and succes with your kids😂 let them help or get their own water😂😂😂
I would look for an spring and build a artisian well i had one on my property that had a 8 gpm refresh rate easy to find just look for tall growth grass or brush clean area and look for a damp spot then hand dig 3 foot down with a spade put in corrugated pipe straight up but drill about 100 holes in the bottom of the corrugated pipe before install Cap it off immediately almost forgot backfill around pipe number 2 gravel then pour cement on top of gravel and yallah u have an Artesia well.. mine was there for 5 years but had to sell divorce cuz divorce divorce so not sure if if current owners still used it or not if so it lasted 12 years

Let's go ahead and dig a well; the man does all the work😂😂😂
That's what they are here for... we nuture and take care of the house the man provides
and after all that hard work women want to be equal to men .
Most of us have zero understanding concerning the way God made human beings and the unique roles and strengths He issued to both man and woman.
Now imagine if women had this prideful perspective when couples say "let's have a baby".
His mother "did all the work" in order for this man to breathe his first breath: the same is true for any man who builds anything; A woman builds his arms, hands, muscles, lungs, heart, etc. inside her own body.
Truth is, God gets the credit for everything we do. We as humans beings have not accomplished anything that the creator has not given us the strength to do.
The women class in this mode is support for the carry.
So much for equality.
We are in Northern Idaho (Sandpoint) and we had to drill almost 400 feet down to get to our water! 😳 Congratulations on your precious find! God is good!!!
400ft? Wow
I love to go skiing at scwitzer
God?
Almost China. Was the water boiling? 400'?
Kevi O ...no...but, almost! 😂😳
I love how he’s the one doing *ALL* the work
Alex He definitely did not (wink) the wife and kid did 3 seconds
That's family life
Someone has to do it it seems his wife and tuxes are the smallest ones and stand back and let him go at it
Sir...what a struggle you have faced for water, so finally God has given water for your hardwork. congratulations..
A mythical being has nothing to do with it...
This dude like a Superman, he is doit all alone hahhaha
Bought my wife and myself 8 acres in New Brunswick, Canada. Thanks for your vids, gonna be right helpful.
Congratulations! Truly Blessed. Mr. Tux is so full of life and such a delight.
He is a great dog. Sometimes a little crazy though.
Exciting news, you got water!!

Way to go you guys!!!!! Congrats on striking that homesteading gold!!!!
💪🏾😁
💋❤️😘🙄😉
You two are AWESOME! God bless youns!
Successful drilling with water down below. CONGRATULATIONS brother.
Thank you. You convinced me to go with rain water collection from my roof into drums. 👍
Wow finally, congratulation sir....
I may need to borrow that Auger when your done with it... Hope you can get those walls shored up and hold water.
No problem.
I need to borrow it next. Thanks.
Enjoyed watching your family working together on your projects.
Congrats Martin

It's amazing to me that you hit water at such a shallow point in Idaho.
Maybe be cause we are in North Idaho?
great video..hard working man..beautiful family.

Serendipity! I'll be coming thru the Sandpoint area in a couple of weeks - thanks for the ice cream cone tip!
Your welcome. If you are here on a Sunday and go to church there is a link in the description for our congregation. Come by for a visit.
I Agree with Sodbuster. Red poppy Ranch has a great idea on putting a well in. Martin you may want to take a look at it. Good luck with the water.
I agree. I’ve seen it. Way cool.
Super fascinating vlog !! Your property really is gorgeous. You guys must just stand out in it and think "Wow.. is this actually where we live?" So cool !!
I’ll take you for a walk on it tomorrow. .

Selalu setia nonton pak martin. Selalu upload video
Sama😂
Man I love your stuff
red poppy ranch has a videos about the pipe culvert type well with solar pump set up
I saw the same video. And it looks really well.
Whoa! One man job! 😃 keep it up! I am looking to dig a well. So this is great what you're doing..
lol Tux seems to be very happy
Yeayy akhirnya... congrats Pak Martin 💪💪💪👏👏👏
Congrats on finding water and that's one nice road you all cleared you could get the well drilling rig in there
Great sharing!!!
Awesome, working on mine. 13' down 9 to water with 4' water in the well.
Wow. Cool! Hope ours turns out that well.
Semangat pak Martin👍👍👍
Halo pak Martin semoga pembuatan rumah nya lancar
hello the danish plumbers gladly follow your work god bless you
So cool. I would love to visit there some day.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLivingit is a nice little country with a lot of history and adventures his christian anderson etc.
Great news you found water and not so deep looking forward to seeing the well going in God bless you all.
Congrats on the shallow well. Looks like some nice clay in there also. Having nice clay around can come in handy for ponds or rocket mass heaters. :)
Good job
Our family has three pure bred registered Boston terriers... Love them to pieces... and they drive me nuts.. all at the same time. Anybody keep envisioning Tux flying down the well hole?!? Anybody?? Little spaz... super cute.
Me.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving :D
Good job 👍
This is what we have to do dig our own well
LOVE THE DOG ❤️
Great video!
very nice
I suppose congrats are in order, so congrats! Good scouting looking around to find a more promising location to find water. Continued good luck!
Thank you. Now we just have to figure out how to get it out of the ground.
Waduuuhh berat banget itu pak Johnson ..org indo mana mau berat2 begitu 👍👍💪💪
Finally god has given water for you sir Martin
Puppy always the best helper, don't you think 😂😉
Smart skill
This is my first episode, really interesting. I love history, and watching people live like our forfathers is wonderful. Thanks for bringing us along!! God bless!!
Where can I get the same exact auger with all of the extensions I've looked everywhere I can't find it
Appreciate your hard work 💪 🙏
He could put a step up tank toward the middle which is closer to the house and draw from there
Where do you obtain the drill Augers 🤔 kit from please 🙏.
Very good ❤😊
I didn't realize you need leg protection when using a chain saw until my 20 year old son said he almost sliced his thigh because his boss doesn't have the proper protective gear or any at all.
Well, you don't need it, but it serves it's purpose. A chain can break off and easily slice someone up.
can you tell me where you got the auger with attachments, please?
wow nice sumur pak

I hit a big rock just over 10 Ft. having to move the dig now!
Update on both digs???
I would set aside that heavy clay. You use that to seal your well head or keep for pottery.
pak martin, find the sandy layers, you'll never get water on clay layer because its permeability
Hi nice video thumbs-up from me
Put some pea gravel down there in a fine mesh sock to reduce sediment but go a few feet further than where you see the water !
" PAK MARTIN SUPER STRONG " real 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You can go deeper than 18 ft, it's not like they'll find out and even if they do they can't legally do anything since it's on your property

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving what is it exactly called? do you have a link to this product?
The guy who modified his with square tubing is at Valdosta, Georgia. Tiger Creek Farm.

@@lawnmowerman4040 The first time I drove it with a sledge hammer while standing on a ladder...BAD IDEA!!!!! then someone suggested that I use a fence post driver and that worked well.
Yup you can go deeper with a drill point pipe and easily go 18 feet with no problem
What are you going to do to get the well put in?
Not sure yet. Still working on a plan.
The water quality it was a good comment I was thinking the same thing if you're going to be drinking it or cooking with it.

Congrats! Check out Red Poppy Ranch shallow well playlist!
I saw that same video and that's what brought me here
Hati2 pak Martin...
Lubangnya harus selalu tertutup, kasihan pupiesnya kalau terperosok.
Martin, just remembered where I saw the shallow well video ! It was Red Poppy Ranch !
Me too.
Wow….Wow
By any chance do you have a link to that auger you have?
If it is not in the description then sorry I don’t.
Amazing
So what is the advantage to an 8 inch hole over a 6 inch
Hard working family.
You can do that well if you just use two wood peaces to bring out the pipe from the well it will cave in for some time then it will stop take 2 wood peaces place them on the well and pix pipe in it the use a wood to loss it and bring it up
A willow tree is a good indicator of water. Have you one of them?
Wonder how it would work if you attached an impact or motorized it somehow
Once your finished digging pour some red food coloring down the well and then measure the water level with a white weighted cotton string.
Far easier to put a tube down the hole while blowing through the end. When you hear bubbles, you hit water. Pull it out and measure how long it is.
The dog is saying “Rookies!”
Hi, could you tell me where i can buy a drill like your? My regards.
Better also build a rain catching system. And water storage.
Exactly what i was thinking. Also the gullies were deep. You could have used the cut wood for filling in the gullies and try to keep the water on your land instead of letting it go and take some topsoil with it. There are many films about catching rain water. And please!!! do not burn the wood but use it to make your soil better and raise the groundwater level. Good luck and succes with your kids😂 let them help or get their own water😂😂😂
I would look for an spring and build a artisian well i had one on my property that had a 8 gpm refresh rate easy to find just look for tall growth grass or brush clean area and look for a damp spot then hand dig 3 foot down with a spade put in corrugated pipe straight up but drill about 100 holes in the bottom of the corrugated pipe before install
Cap it off immediately almost forgot backfill around pipe number 2 gravel then pour cement on top of gravel and yallah u have an Artesia well.. mine was there for 5 years but had to sell divorce cuz divorce divorce so not sure if if current owners still used it or not if so it lasted 12 years
