You guys, PLEASE LISTEN To what hes saying. He suggests that We start Preparing. You guys should. WHEN Something happens, and when theres no more food and water in your homes, what will you do?
Vegas isnt like Cali, with water sources. Cali also has lots of fruit or edible trees and plants every where.
Vegas is Desert. You guys Please start putting away LOTS OF WATER.
Great Video/info.
Always good to be prepared for anything 🤙🏼
Surprised those mansions their landscape water usage is in the millions much less golf courses in the valley wonder when they will be restricted...
I would just move up to Utah
@@milotorres6894 surprisingly Vegas isn’t the issue, most water used from the lake is from californias agriculture. They get their own water and lake mead/lake Powell will be saved
Yeah guess where the water comes from in s. California that you grow your fruits and vegetables with, same source as ours, the Colorado River. California takes 40% while Nevada 2%
Las Vegas is like a monument to man's insanity. It's in the middle of a desert but it has 61 golf courses. It has dancing fountains, lakes and an average household water consumption of 220 gallons per day. What could possibly go wrong? For comparison, here in rain soaked Britain, household water consumption averages 132 gallons (US) per day. (And yes, we do shower!)
Don't forget about the misters on the strip to cool tourists down
I just read about the plan to hold back the water in Lake Powell to keep the hydro electric generation working. That makes a bit of sense. What doesn't make sense is the plan to "credit" Lake Mead with the water it would have got when deciding on restrictions to consumers. That will be the end for lake leisure users, because it will just empty.
Actually Las Vegas, the Strip specifically, is able to reuse 90% of their water. Vegas has a really smart and efficient way to use water.
Unfortunately most of the water goes to California and Arizona and Mexico.
But yall dont brush your teeth
@@jimsmith7198 someone had to say it
In 1935 when Lake Mead was created, the desert populations being supplied were as follows:
AZ 434,000
CA 6,175,000
NV 100,000
UT 526,000
Today the populations are as follows
AZ 7.4 Million
CA 39.1 Million
NV 3.2 Million
The population all along the Colorado River has increased over the same timeframe.
Hoover Dam and the Lake Reservoirs were never designed to support this population and agriculture growth. Since 1935 there has been ZERO investment to better manage this resource.
In fact, the aqueduct systems rob groundwater recharge process.
The truth is, the precipitation rate in the west and California has not changed in over 125 years.
Deserts were not designed to support the population, agriculture and casino’s.
It’s not an inflow problem. There’s too many straws in the cup.
exactly, better open up that border, we need more people here in the southwest... that current lineup has the same sense as the condom I flushed this morning.. just moronic in every sense of the word, fuggen forest gump is the president
Exactly, plus where does all the used water go ? I hope they clean it before it goes back into the system ?
@tthams73 All good info with one exception. The statement “Precipitation rate in the west has not changed in 125 years” is absolutely false. When originally built and water was allocated in the Colorado River dam system, water was allocated based on historically wet years. This was not known at the time and this miscalculation in conjunction with population growth and increased use set up this water resource for the current failure we are seeing. Scientific tree ring research has shown the occurrence of “mega droughts” is common in the west and that we are currently in the midst of a 25 year drought with no real knowledge of how much longer it might last.
Colorado is my ancestral homeland (Ute & Spanish Ancestry tracing our roots back thousands of years), and just in my short time on this earth I've seen the lack of snow and rainfall in southern Colorado over the past 25 years or so. It's absolutely an inflow (drought) problem compounded by population growth and urban sprawl.
While I'm not a climate change believer...I do believe the climate changes over time as shown through historical evidence.....we are all going to need to prioritize our use of water (drinking, agricultural and environmental) as it's clear this resource is scarce, and unreliable, particularly areas such as Vegas who rely on other states for their water!
I wonderhow much of this decrease can be directly contributed to almond farms, avocado farms, and Las Vegas fountains lol
We should sink cali into the ocean. Place is a shit hole anyway
As a Canadian living in an area where you can't walk 15 minutes without running into some kind of lake this is insane to me.
As an Australian I can't imagine that lol.
Pennsylvanian here. Perpetually surrounded by streams and lakes. And it's always terribly muggy as a result of it. =/
That's why the call it a desert. This is artificial and not sustainable with larger populations.
yea i live in a area where we have rivers and lakes everywhere, and wetlands. but this lake drying up so fast is crasy
Well you dont have Los Angeles stealing water from everywhere its the main reason why California is in a permanent drought
You are doing such a wonderful service by spreading awareness of the quickly changing situation. You're allowing people of your area to prepare.. They should be so very thankful for you and your son
I would love to see another 15 day update. What your doing is important to millions of people. Your videos should be archived for American history on the importance of Lake Mead.
100%
You need help.
one of the great lakes is a major water supply, its been dropping fast for several years now, and the sad thing about that one is, that its china owned nestle pure life water draining water out of the lake, bottling it, and selling back to the public as purified water for water they are already paying for on their water bills
@@paulvalentine1483 What does he need help with?
What a great idea, I have a colleague at a large University, I'm going to forward this vlog to them and see where it goes, it is very useful first hand evidence.
Great fishing here in Ireland , loads of rivers with no people to be seen anywhere along the banks , fly fishing on a river here is total magic just alone with the sound of flowing water and wildlife all around you , you said the world is crazy , it’s not the world , it’s the people , the world is beautiful and always was .
I complain about the weather in Ireland all the time but we're really lucky tbh
Enjoy the fishing!
You may just have invited 80+ million people up there. Enjoy all your new company, Lol!
@@jbdbean242 I doubt that because you are required to get the jab to cross borders, yeah that's not gonna happen.
YES! THANK YOU! This is the kind of thing that I've saying been saying to all the overly-cynical bullshit about how the world supposedly sucks and this and that and the other, but you, good sir, get the facts and are speaking the truth! Keep on, my man!
My uncle lost a boat in Lake Mead when we were there on a family outing in the late 70's early 80's. It was either a big convertible boat or a cuddy cabin boat. I was very young and barely remember having to get in the small boat we were towing.
Crazy to see how far it has dropped in such a short period of time. In the game Fallout New Vegas, which takes place in Nevada about 250 years in the future, there is a character who sits and watches the lake. He says that in California they drained all of the lakes and aquafers and that Lake Mead is the last lake in the area, and it was being pumped dry by huge pipes. It's become very clear that we are currently headed towards that future, unless we do something to prevent it. To be honest the entire state should simply ban grass for ornamental purposes, such as in yards and golf courses, which would significantly cut down on the water usage.
I had heard the lake was dropping in level, but seeing it in your videos, WOW what an eye opener.
It's nuts how, in all likelihood, nobody in Vegas has any idea how close they are to running out of water. People just take the water for granted.
Yah by design! Yep, they are with holding water from us. Great coverage. Vegas sits on a huge natural aquifer. Thats why they allow more homes & malls to be built. Water that normally goes to this lake has been diverted. We live on a planet thats 2/3rds water. Mid west, north east, east coast hav more water than they can handle. There are 2 water desalinization plants in Calif, they wont let them run. They are also dismantling dams in Calif. they control our water & power and those things are about to get VERY expensive. Bill Gates & Warren Buffet are building power generation plants (electricity).
They'll find out soon enough.
it's not just vegas, you heard him, 80 million people rely on this water. why? it's Lake Mead, it's Hoover Dam's reservoir. This reservoir feeds Los Angeles, most of Arizona, Southern California, Nevada, New Mexico, probably parts of Utah, and perhaps even parts of Texas. This is bad, real bad.
2 of the three water pipes that feed Vegas are out of the water now.
@@fartsoundeffect5013 do you research before making a unfactul comment
You guys are a class act, keep on with the updates and let's hope and pray that somewhere down the line we'll get some crazy storms or a nutty winter with more snow than we want.
Watching in Australia. Your lake made the news not long ago. News didn’t show the severity. Will do a rain dance for you people. ✌️
Great comparison video. A lot of people in the city aren’t even aware of the lakes water situation. You guys are doing a better job then the news in covering the lakes water level. Keep up the good work.
A lot of people are clueless about a lot of things
Really?! I'm in Canada and I'm aware...
For sure. I'm a barber in Vegas and everyone just says "yeah I heard it pretty low right now. Think the rain will bring it back to normal?" They don't even know the scope of how much water we would need to hit net neutral alone
I've been seeing it all over the news and social media so unless your living under a rock most people in Vegas are aware
News? This is the News of our time. The other stuff is media/programing/propaganda. No disrespect intended. Stay safe all and prepare.
That's just phenomenal...the amount of water depletion is just outstandingly scary...I'm is Australia where drought is common...dams dry out...water supply dams run desperately low...but seeing Lake Mead that seriously low, and the Hoover Dam hydro stations looking at having to cease operation...is just beyond comprehension...I certainly don't envy any of the people relying upon either the lakes for water or a source of income...or those that draw power from Hoover Dam...scary days ahead indeed...stay safe...and God bless you all!!!!
Cheers from Aus!!!!
I lived right around the corner from there at Lake Las Vegas. It's sad what's happening. Thank you for the video.
Valuable content fellas and all while making family memories! Can't beat that. Thanks
You did another great video and a good message to everyone who was listening to this about preparing. I live in Phoenix we got a notice that Phoenix is preparing a phase 1 of water conservation here in the valley. So I believe that like you said we are headed for some some problems and it doesn't look like things are going to turn around anytime soon. Thanks again for your video
Just move from Havasu! It was getting scary to think of living in the hottest place with water dropping and being shipped to LA. I lived in the middle of farmland in CA when the last massive drought was hitting hard and the local municipality in Hanford started their policing and restrictions. Get out while you can.
Thank you for the update.. we really appreciate it
Thanks for the update ! Las Vegas is getting scary . Remember we used to flood during the summer with the Monsoons. It would flood our town and we would get so much rain and lightening. It’s so sad how much this towns changed . Everyone from California too , moving here and trying to change our city but are making it worse . Hopefully we can figure this out.
The government can just geoengineer like they ways do and seed clouds and make it rain
That's what Californians do best
You can have some of our water in Washington state..it’s been raining almost nonstop for 9 months😃
Just stumbled upon your channel with this vid, and I absolutely love the fact you took the time to show all of this. Please keep showing updates to this.. The world sure is changing.
Climate change isn't real I guarantee you. You're getting scammed!
Positive vibes from Dallas! Thanks for sharing!
The PC version of Google Earth lets you go back in time and look back to the mid 90's or earlier. I was checking lake Mead levels just the other day and drawing outlines for the waterline around this dock from different years. Comparing how high it was in the mid 90's to now really was shocking.
Lake Powell is another one
Ouch! Wow! Lake Mead Nevada. I was a long time resident in Las Vegas/Henderson Nevada from January 1978 to September 2011 when I finally left for ever. Lake Mead was once upon a time a beautiful crystal clear and clean mammoth lake full of life. The late 1970's were awesome. The 1980's still awesome. The 1990's great still. The 2000's is when I said to myself the end of an era is coming to an end next 25 years. 2010's it's time to go, lake starting to go down slowly but surely. Well 2020's will dry up into a pond or mud hole by 2025. The total opposite of 1983's lake Mead and Hoover dams overflowing and bursting at the seams. Was there to experience that. What a beautiful crystal clear clean great lake it was that year. Lots of great times there at the lake all those decades ago. Was a paradise then. Not anymore. Good luck all with the water situation. I saw this coming in 1995!
It was a paradise when the Colorado River still flowed. Especially in Glen Canyon.
Live here, this place sucks, only here for the money, 6 figure or I would be gone
@@vegasdirtpusher1124 yep, that's what I did. Retired and took my pensions and got outta Dodge! It's different now though. Way harder, very expensive to make a move. But just do what you are doing then when timings are right bail out! After you milk it very good of course. Even from 2011 till now I bet it got very much expensive to live there. Casinoland as us old timers called it changed like night and day! Good luck!
I went to college in Utah from 1979 to 1983, went to Vegas and Lake Mead several times a year. Lake Mead was completely full and a fantastic break from the Casinos. We tent camped close to the water, took our ski boat out most of the day, then headed to the Casinos for evening hours and night hours. We had fake ID's, were 19 and 20 year olds, jumped into hotel hot tubs until we got kicked out then just went to the next hotel hot tub, no cops called back then so we just kept hot tub jumping! , played nickel and penny slots to get free drinks, no problems! The years were 1981 and 1982! Vegas and Lake Mead were easy party places, no hassles, no problems, tons of drinks and miles of water on Mead. Dang we had it good!!!!!! Sadly, America will never see days like those again.
@@travelguy1564 Bingo! Bullseye! Jackpot! My girl and I did the same thing from 1978 to 1988! Exactly as you described it. Free food, free drinks, free shows, free movies, free buffets, free everything if you played your cards right. Many comps in those days. Casinoland was great then. So was Lake Mead. Hemenway harbor, Calville Bay, Lake Mead Marina, Boulder Beach etc.... We were 18 and 19 and played slots, mostly penny, nickel and the notorious dime machines that easily jammed up. Ha ha ha. No problems as you said. No security, no cops, no carding no nothing. That's when Las Vegas was paradise. Not anymore. Just lucky we lived it. Fun times for sure. To be a teenager and enjoy the casinos was like a dream.
I want to cry watching this. I’m a Vegas native, been boating on Lake Mead since I was literally 6 months old in ‘84. Spent my whole life on that lake. Last year we launched twice before we no longer could due to our double decker trailer just not letting us with the angle of the couple ramps left. Spent the rest of the summer going to Havasu. We just fled Nevada and moved to Florida in January and I’ll tell you, it’s so awesome being 15 minutes from a launch to either lake or bay, never a launch line, never a risk of not being able to. Still, I mourn Lake Mead and boating where I wasn’t at risk of being eaten by alligators or sharks.
If you are a democrat please leave your politics in Nevada. We don't want a blue state.
Plenty of rain in Florida.
I’m trying to love my family to Miami as well my husband loved it his first time outside of California
@@mayalcaraz9862 don’t move to Miami lol
I just left Florida SW Coast and moved north.....too many people moving into FL....27,000 newbies in Lee County this past year! Storms are getting stronger....too much flooding now.... getting hotter & more humid longer... Insurance, property tax & housing costs are still moving higher,.....and always the never ending rain season...12" in last storm ! Now I sleep with my windows open with fresh air ! ...and I want my kids to have roots in an region that they don't need to leave due to climate changing.
I have a buddy named Matt he lived out there for a while an rock hunted all-day and all night. He said he walked for miles and it's a vast wasteland man. I love that y'all are doing this thank you for front hand knowledge
Moved from Vegas in ‘96. That is nuts. I basically was raised on that lake. Brother worked at the marina renting house boats and supplies
I grew up on lake mead. when I was a kid the water was flowing over the spillways at the dam. it was really deep too. breaks my heart.
Why it was not supposed to be there anyway . We are just guests here .
That was back in 1983 when the water overflowed the spillways for the first time since the damn was built.
thank you for these videos Sr and Jr. We legit left Vegas a few months ago and I already knew the water would drop more. We did get to enjoy some of our favorite spots before they are no more such as Stewarts Point and Crawdad Cove. Keep up the updates. We love them. Some of us grew up on that body of water and it's very sad that we are losing Lake Mead.
I was born there. Left in 73. I am just shook at seeing the lake. Tears and heart break 💔 I can't believe it
Wow!! Great vids! Keep them coming. It’s unreal how far the water drops in two weeks.
The 2021 waterline comparison was eye opening. The 15 day waterline comparison has made me think August is going to be a challenge.
Makes me glad I live in the
“Great Lake State”
I was never really drawn to the desert 🏜 southwest, and now I know why.
All the same,
Good luck to you 👍🤞🍀💦💧☔️🌊
Do you remember the billboards years ago, that had the people with straws drinking out of our lakes? That’s when they were floating the pipeline from the lakes to the west coast.
Like your style, and yes its time to prep. We live in scotland north, ten years ago it was knee deep in mud now its dry two cm below the soil top. Take care and carry on filming
This situation was very similar to Australia in 2019 where quite a few towns had trucked water because there dams completely ran out of water. The largest was Stanthorpe with about 8000 people relying on trucked water from Brisbane 200km away. Further west they had to rely on bore water.
But in your situation the size of the places effected are larger in population than all of Australia but with limited underground water as far as I know. The only option they would have is to rail water in from wetter areas on mile long water tank trains running every 30 minutes just to move the volumes needed
Actually they want rights to an underground lake that is mostly in Utah. But they really need to get into check. It's a desert they should be building subterranean homes and only have gardens that will help sustain them and not lawns. Whoever thought grass was a good idea is a moron!
They can rely on trucks supplying much in future.
Trucked water came from Warwick's Connolly Dam 50k away not from Brisbane. Warwick has 2 dams and the largest was critically low. 80L per day per person for years. Was very depressing.
This is why as a resident in the State of Michigan, I want to protect our Great Lakes. We can't drink oil and natural gas when fresh water is no more.
that is about as ignorant a comparison of anything I can think. let's say there was no natural gas or oil. it ran out today. you be starving to death shortly thereafter. but hey, enjoy that water fast!
I was thinking the same thing, thank you
Resident of Duluth Minnesota and I am very grateful i live next to lake superior
Literally talking to my friends about buying land and building a fortress to protect our resources rn. LMK if u want in lol
You aren't in a desert sherlock! It RAINS where you are! This is happening because it's an ARID climate and the water is being used/wasted to run all the BS in Las Vegas!
I was born in Las Vegas in 1965 , I love lake mead has a lot of great memories,I moved from the rat race to prapump Nevada,in 79 to 81 and the water was still great , hope things improve for lake mead , it won’t be Las Vegas with out that lake , my prays go out to everyone in Vegas , it’s like my memories are drying up with the lake.
You mean Pahrump? Paiute Indian name meaning Water from the rock. Clark County has tried to access Knye county's water aquifer for decades and always been denied.
@@danalog76 correct did not notice an auto correct from my phone, it just seems to get worse , thank you for pointing that out.
Hmmmm the mobsters will have to find another place to live,!
Uh yeah Mead supplies not just almost all the water but 80-90% of the power for vegas... Literally it will cease to exist in the next 5-10 years barring crazy intervention by the feds/Army Corps of Engineers. Vegas will be the new Salton Sea.
Water Pact caused this destruction. Agreeing to artificially put more water downstream than was coming into the lake is the Causation that could've been remedied two decades ago. #Idiocracy 101
Wow!! I learned to ski on lake mead in the 80’s! So sad to see this!! Hopefully Mother Nature will come through!! I live in ky now! No shortage of water or lakes drying up here thank god! Pretty freaky seeing all the capsized boats!
Who is mother nature? And what can they do?
@@dano8613 uh…..it’s call rain or monsoon!
Thanks for your work in showing us this stuff; it’s very disturbing and sad; having been to Lake Mead numerous times over the years as a native of Arizona.And really cool mounts of your animals in your house!
Thank you for reporting the actual situation on the ground in the Southwest for all to see.
You are doing important work.👍
Seen lots of reports on this situation, but they're always more consumable when they come from someone relatable.
Insane how fast the water level is dropping within 15 days! Scary!
Thanks for showing us what's going on out there. 👍
Good to hear and see a simple observation that something is changing whatever you want to call it.
P.S. I just checked UK reservoir levels, and given I've been in shorts since February and surprisingly they are at high levels.
That's crazy, but I appreciate you guys giving us updates! I remember seeing Lake Mead drop 100 ' 20 years ago and thinking that was bad! On the upside, maybe now is a good time to clean up the lake? I certainly hope the situation changes next year. Come on El Nino and the Pacific monsoons!
what needs to happen is further development of homes/businesses needs to stop in these large cities in the desert before we really have a problem on our hands
It’s California agriculture that’s draining the water.
Get the barrels out first
I’m glad you mentioned El Niño! Very true!
We could do with an EL nino to get rid of the horrible LA nina and its epic flooding in Australia hopefully it will be more normal during next rainy season as its dry season currently in Queensland
Thank you for sharing this with us. I don't think most people understand just how fragile the water supply is out west
you have to adapt
Thanks, brother! Citizen journalism like yours on this video adds value to the content!
Still drivin' the truck to the lake to fish.
Amazing.
We passed through Vegas in 1987 and camped out at Lake Mead. We actually stayed at that campground, and yes it really was that high.
This was back when Boulder highway was still two-lane and Vegas was still tiny.
Remember thpse days I lived there for 4 years at Nellis AFB in 1950... great nice little town then, think pop was about 30k
I’m a native from Vegas and I moved out to Texas after 9/11 and never looked back. I remember going to the lake every summer and now to look at it strikes fear into me because I grew up there and I can compare it then with now and for sure it’s coming to a point where Vegas will have to abandoned looking like the Resident evil movie.
Great video. I know it takes a lot of time to do those and edit and everything. Thanks for sharing. Good luck,
Omg, that is a great video and Canada is starting to go to drought conditions at certain times as well, hence the BC wild 🔥
That’s CRAZY!!! I’m a 48 year old Las Vegas native son. Been here my entire life. I saw the lake when it was so high the spillways were gushing over. To see it now is a real shocker! Haven’t been out to the lake in a couple decades at least. You hear about the water issues here, but your video really hammers it home. How in the heck can they keep building golf courses and mega resorts with the water situation like it is? I’ve heard of solutions like the little pacific project and a pipeline from spring valley nv south to Vegas. After seeing this, the planners better get off their collective a$$es and do something!!
and quickly, shit can dry up mighty fast, one real bad drought and excessively hot summer? ouch!
If I was not so lazy I would have obtained my atmospheric physics degree. My Myers-Briggs personality is intj are better known as The Mastermind. We are very rare roughly 2.9% of the general population with this personality type. We are the analyst the physics and the engineers of the world. One of the job descriptions atmospheric physicist balls under my personality type. We look everything from a Global Perspective hey we look at patterns. Globally every river and every Lake and every Mountain Top is loosing either water or ice Lakes are disappearing worldwide on the 36th parallel. Simply because Earth is overheating and most of that heat energy or 90% of the heat energy from the atmosphere is ending up in the world's oceans. A total of 17 * 10 to the 20th power joules heat energy is being absorbed by the world's oceans. That is equivalent of 5 thermal nuclear bombs per second. That heat energy that's ending up in the world's oceans is changing the weather patterns around the planet. That is why self Americans are migrating out of South America. Lanina plus a vast warming planet is denying any kind of measurable rain for their crops. Either the people in those countries stay and starve to death or they have to migrate and that's what's happening on a global scale
Or just stop living in an uninhabitable area of the US
Vegas, the most beautiful ghost town
When I looked at the average consumption per head for cities in the area it was many times higher than the average consumption of Melbourne Australia. We have always had the spectre of droughts and a few years ago there was a goal to reduce consumption to below 200 Litres per day. After that the city got down to 155 Litres per day per person.
Living in a dry area I have had an average of 35 litres per day for the last 40 years. So there is a LOT of potential saving. There is plenty of water for drinking but some other uses are going to have to be controlled. Which is an anathema to individual freedom USA.
I’ve been preparing for years and I don’t feel like it’s enough. The water situation is horrible. Love your friends and family while you can. Life is changing fast. Things are going to get very challenging. Thanks for the video.
they will kiII us all in the end anyways
we have enough desalinization plants in the world to waterthe planet for 1000 years with no problems, we also have vast amounts of antartic ice to fallback on. stop beleiving the hype.
Ironic user name
This is a drought which has been going since 2000 and is expected to end around 2030. Don't worry.
i love ur username
Holy Moly!!!!!! I have been here 30yrs.. I had no idea it was drying up so fast. Omgeeeee…. This is a wake up call for me! Thanks for the info
You to family, I appreciate your video even tho I live in Georgia. It just shows me how we all going through something during these days
The lake is down 10 feet in the past 6 weeks. They are trying to prop up Lake Powell so releases are down for that reason. The next couple years are going to be interesting if we dont get decent winter snowpack in the Rockies.
I randomly stumbled across this video and glad I did. I reside deep in south Louisiana and as this doesn't directly effect me, this is still alarming! God speed to all who live in the sin city area!
Hard to see this! My family and I lived in LV from 2003 to 2010. We were on Lake Mead in a 30 foot houseboat over a hundred times while living there. Whole summers spent out there. Many multi day camping trips in a cove somewhere. It was so vast at that time! But oddly enought I kept wondering what would happen if the lake dried up. It seemed liked nobody wanted to talk about it. My folks still live there so we visit. Great content thanks for keeping people in the loop! It is sad to this, but at some point this will all come to ahead! Stay safe Sr and Jr!
Saw your 101st hat on another video, I’m stationed out at campbell and have been here the past 7 years. Big bow and bass fisherman, thankyou for your service and having fun watching your videos
Nice, I got a couple monsters with my bow by the air assault course. When I was there in 04 they would only allow 2 hunters in that area so it was hard to get but really good. Thank you for your service
@@SinCityOutdoors yessir, they just opened up the contonement areas for bow now. People are getting massive bucks out of there, I run a Bowfishing charter out of lake barkley and Kentucky lake called “Line Of Sight Bowfishing Tours” if you’d like to check it out. Thankyou again
@@glennfosterjr.3883 I’ll check it out 👊🏼
I’m in Australia on the east coast. Summer of 2019/2020 we where in a similar situation with water. It’s wise to prepare for shortages but I would also say for when it rains as well. We have now had so much rain in the last year that your yard is socked 3 days after it rains. That is if the rain holds off that long. So hopefully the some of the rain heads your way soon.
We typically get a small monsoon season in the summer where the rain basically dries off the ground 10 mins after it stops, but I don't think we've even had that the past few years.
we need updates each week or so 🙌🏽
been watching your videos since 2020🙏🏽 love to see the lake mead series
I’ve had two quick sand type experiences out there with the water drop that’s scary too. Crazy seeing since the 90s too how much has changed sad
Thanks for sharing 👍
Formerly known as Lake Mead, now called The Mead Puddle.
Thanks for showing us these videos too it’s scary and sad how low lake mead is getting and other rivers n lakes are low as well keep up the good work guys👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Man made lakes and rivers, what did you think was going to happen?
Liked the perspective. I was there years ago it was only 35 feet below it's regular level.
Thank you! Great video! Stay safe!
Great job guys. Love how you compare today w/ 15 days ago. Not that the lower levels are a good thing but the educational purpose is well done.
The fear of running out of water is a myth. Primary water has been available to us since the dawn of type. Look up the book new water for a thirsty world by Michael H. Salzman. It was burned in the 1960s because the option to refill the lakes for free was presented to numerous states, but that wouldn't create full control over the people. Make it look like the surface water is running out and you can control the people...even if billions of new water is coming out of the earth everyday. Best wishes. Don't fall for the fear and drill your own primary water well.
I used to fish lake mead from 1995 - 2000 prior to the gates going up. It was unrestricted access back then. It's crazy to see how low it is now.
No one needs to fish in Lake Mead. It's not built for that reason.
You stole the water!!!
So glad I caught your vlog. Great job sharing what you see and learn. Awareness is necessary tool.
I would love to pick your brain on prepping. Will you indulge me to answer a few questions, details encouraged. 1. What is your order of importance for prep (i.e. shelter)? 2. What's the safest/best way to store water? Do you recommend any water filtrations? 3. What's the best way to carry supplies (backpack)? What tools are a must and why?
Thanks!!
Thanks for posting this. Can you get out on the lake still? Interested in a new update now 3 weeks later.
YIKES!!!! Watching your video from Texas. Appreciate you and your son taking the time to keep people informed. Stay safe wherever y'all go, and I hope things get better in the near future. But prepare anyway : )
Good looking out! Appreciate your knowledge and Thxs for sharing.
I'm glad I got plenty of water over here on the East Coast
my dad would love this video.. Also would love your home wiht all the wild life up on the wall
I'm from Central Florida and I have seen a lot of lakes dry up over the years but that is unreal!! Stay Safe bro!
Please do another every two weeks.. I'd like to keep up on what's happening out there. Thank you!
Great video. I’d like to know how you are preparing. Please do another video on what supplies you are getting. Thank you!
Love your stuff guys keep it up please; love the water level updates
I left the southwest 14 years ago because the writing was on the wall. I'm now in the mountains of North Carolina and wouldn't trade it for anything. There's plenty of natural running fresh water creeks and lakes with an over abundance of bass and trout., food for hunting if nessesary. We're also currently having a heavy thunderstorm as I write this. Even though I miss my family in California I'd never ever live there again.
Please leave your california politcs in California. We dont want nc turned into liberal mess.
@@michaelrumfelt3106 ,no worries here, that was part of the writing on the wall I was referring to. That's one of the reasons I split.
Send coordinates lol
@@michaelrumfelt3106 Most of the people leaving, are leaving to get away from the insanity.
I’m coming from Cali to UNC. Reading this makes me very happy lol. Don’t worry, I’m not one of the locusts who escape somewhere just to implement/vote the exact same thing...
That’s crazy man!!! I live here in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. I have never saw water levels drop that fast in my life. But we get a lot more rain than you guys do. We’ll be praying for some rain and that the water levels start to raise for y’all!!
Agreed. I'm in southern Indiana and its not that bad here either. But I have noticed my pond level is lower than its ever been, I've been here 20 years. Its lower than when I moved here. Checked for leaks several times, its just not at its old level. The rains come fine in spring, but it seems we get mini droughts every summer..
Praying for that won't change much, I would pray for people to wake up to the matrix they are in, and to move on from indoctrinated desires and missions in life. Without a change in how we approach life, we will only further perish. Seek Jesus, and ask yourself about the 1800's, and ww2. History in general. These two things will carry you very quickly, to a realization that the dependency we have as a society on the government, is by design, in order to control us all and make rare things that should be a given, and to manipulate us with technology, giving an amazing route of propaganda and manipulation. I personally also believe that half of what the fallen angels controlling this world do, is based on masking the reasoning of Godly events. Punishments of sin...we all know the story of sodom and gommorath, what makes you think it's any different today? When humans do not even know their Creator? Let alone what he says about how to live.
Then Wake the Fk up and realize that it's a certain group of people (Criminal Scumbags) who deliberately causing the "Drought"!
All states east of the Texas dry line are seeing far more moisture originating from the Gulf of Mexico. You will see more record flooding in the coming years. Manmade Climate Change is causing a massive change in the global climate.
The lake fills from the snow in Colorado in the winters or when it melts in the spring anyway
Just glad I’m blessed to live In Michigan with Great Lakes all around gonna have to start using ours for fresh water.
That boat sticking straight up looks like one of those nice boats from the later 70s and early 80s.
I strategically sold my house in the NW Las Vegas area back in 2019. I saw the red flags after 12 years of living in Vegas.
So so happy I sold in 2019!!! I suggest anyone who wants to survive the next decade....sell sell sell.
Good luck trying to sell your home once everyone agrees Vegas is unsavable.
and the day of reckoning approacheth! Haha welp, good on you, sir, for paying attention. Seems like one of those deals where it’s ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore... oh shit get the eff out! But then like you said they will not be able to sell when it gets that bad.
I saw the signs way back in the eighties when I lived in Arizona. The growth of irrigation farms, grape farms, population growth and increasing awareness of global warming all spelled out the coming disaster.
Why cause the water situation 🤔?
Eventually houses in Vegas will be about as valuable as those lovely houses in Detroit.
Should have waited till 2021
thank you for your time and for doing this video because alot of people do not realize how bad it is . sending prayers from Texas
we've got enough of prayers... send rain
In Australia two years ago our lakes were the same thenbtwe got
We got rain much rain and there was a break in our drought. Prayers its the same outcome for Lake Mead.
Thats usually what I reach for when I'm thirsty, an ice cold glass of prayers. Lmao 🤣
When the Colorado River compact was signed in 1922 it split up 15 million acre feet of water per year for use by the signatory states. The problem is that studies had shown back then that the Colorado River system was only capable of providing 12-13 million acre feet of water per year. Now that populations have grown so much we're using more than that 12-13 million acre feet the river system can provide. I forget which federal agency it is, but a few weeks ago, they have the states 60 days to come up with a plan to cut 2-3 million acre feet of water use. If the states don't, the federal government will do it.
The lakes aren't "drying up" the way you think. They are being drained then redistributed elsewhere to create reservoirs mainly in places where luxury home communities are being built.
How do they do it?
@@kookyjoeb5524 China
Sure and once people loose their homes and move, the property will be purchased by?? And then watch things come back, what we once thought as conspiracy, is not!
@@kookyjoeb5524 - they tap into the areas and redistribute it. People can do that to aquifiers- and sell it in plastic bottles! Or steal it onto their property. All saud- there is never a water shortage- only terrible people preventing you from getting it. Govt needs to go.
That’s true. I forgot about those ridiculous homes they’re still building.
Wow! It’s been 20 years since I was out there, what a shame! That lake was a gem for fishing
Love seeing you guys fishing can’t wait to meet y’all some day 💪🏽
This is so sad. I grew up in Vegas during the 80s-early 00s before I left and Lake Mead was a staple of summer. When I was a kid, you couldn't see the white water line, now its so dry! Such a shame.
I remember in the summer of 96 my mother and I were out with her friend who had a boat and a thunderstorm came out of nowhere and the winds caused a sport boat to take on water and sink. We helped that group onto our boat and took them ashore. I wonder if that boat is visible yet?
I flew over lake Mead in 2011 and you could see the lake was in trouble back then! I feel for people who depend on that water!
Should try adding a sliding trailer tongue to your trailer it adds another 5 to 10 ft when extended. We use them here in hawaii for extreme low tides. It really helps alot.
My brother has a boat in Alaska set up like that as well.
The way that water is dropping, they would only get a few more weeks use out of it
@@ralphholiman7401 my e÷8
Ah yes, a solution to our problem!
I have seen folks disconnect the trailer and then recover the trailer with the rope they didn't forget to attach before they pushed the trailer into deeper water.
Keep the updates coming brother! I know we are close to something whether it be food, fuel or water the heads up is great!
My friend 🥰 I love what you're doing I don't know if you're Vegas Born and raised 🙌 but you covering this dire straight situation? Is right on! Thank you for the update and keeping Vegas Born and raised Proud 💪💪❤️❤️
Good video, keep on with the updates, im not into fishing but this is relevant to everyone.
Lots of prayers going out 🙏 we hope everyone can come together with solid solutions and conservation efforts to reverse this problem before its too late
Not going to happen with beurocrats and millionaires. Just like Rome, America is crumbling from nepotism.
Sorry. No thoughts and prayers available. I used them all up on school shootings!
All i know, get yalls SECOND AMENDMENT ready. Cause yall all know when the Government see our moment of weakness, like when we are weak enough....
Invasion either outside forces or they sending the FEDS confiscating our guns door to door.
What if your god is causing the drought?
a really good one is moving out of the desert dude
Would see information about this on the news but getting your video in my recommended and seeing it first hand, this is actually VERY bad. What an extremely scary situation. I always thought Southwest America wasn't habitable for high volume of humans but I thought I'd never see it get this drastic during my lifetime. Sad to see but thank you for documenting this in real time. People need to see this!
Unless there is a once in a century storm season, there will not be any water left in the Western states. In California, where I live, 80% of the state's water is used towards almonds, alfalfa and rice, the MOST water intensive crops there are. And the vast majority of those crops are exported. People refuse to change, Saudi Arabia, the EUA and other Gulf states, have massive farms around Bakersfield and Fresno to grow alfalfa, they use our water for free lol.
The few semi-wealthy people I know have bought second houses around Buffalo, Chicago and Cleveland. All are located my massive bodies of water and with the exception of Chicago, still pretty affordable to live.
The Colorado River hasn't reached the ocean since the 70s. This is what happens when you build a farming industry in the desert.
The SW only became habitable when air conditioning was invented and the Colorado was damed providing water to people. It’s unbelievable they haven’t taken measures to decrease consumption. Vegas still has dozens of golf courses, still has artificial water displays, still wastes tons of water every single day. Insanity. They truly need to start taking drastic measures in Vegas and the surrounding areas, and throughout the SW.
Yes. And things will become worse, and it will NEVER go back to the way it used to be. Doomsday is closing in.
Thanks for those videos. I came across your channel and I was not even aware of what was going on with lake Mead. It is kind of scary. I live on the East Coast but I'm really worried about what's happening out there
It’s not about prepping with more stuff, it’s about looking after the environment
You are hilarious. Lake Mead is a created lake in the desert. It was never going to make it with millions of people competing for water. That area has been desert before millions swept in and now somehow it is about the environment? Riiight.
