It does work, I've done with a wire hanger, also to find electrical wire under ground!

I tried it 40 years ago and it was amazing. I couldn’t hold the willow stick up at all. It moved downward with a real force. Amazing mystery. There was a spring right where it pointed.

Thanks for sharing this learned a lot

My dad done this it's easy we could do it as kids and it works to find water pipes or water

My father was born in a farm in Italy , and he had the gift. He use to find water from the gardens or land for people in town. A family was watching my father searching in their garden , and when the stick moved the 6 Years old child got frightened and run away . Water was found in the exact place by the drilling company and a well was built

I got an Elk Mountain tent 13x20 September 2023. Horrible Tent! That 3/4 frame will collapse due to canvas weight. I set it twice up for a weekend trip that was the end for the 3/4 frame. Per the web site as of 2024 all tents will be shipped with 1” angles. Customer service did offer the 1” upgrade at retail price.. no thanks!

Good looking out i was gonna get one to boil water for eggs 😞 ty

i knew i couldnt be the only guy who thought of this.

That's how I kinda do it, no wet brine; I crockpot it with salted water. Everything else I do is mostly similar, except. I drink my spirits 😅 not cook with it.

I just went out with a lobsterman today in maine and he gave me two of these and there twice the size. Thank you for video. Im gonna eat like a king

Well that was an option I wasn't aware of. Thank you. Is there any way to peel the crimp ring back and preserve the lid?

I know that beach! You worked hard and long to get those clams from that rocky ground. I bring home a 5 gal. bucket of seawater with a lid on it to soak them in.

An old crock pot recipe book had a rabbit recipe. Basically mushroom cream sauce . I serve it over wild rice. Works great for squirrel.

Thanks for an very useful and entertaining review. Do you carry an anchor or two? Any comment on handling in breezy conditions...as compared to the Predator?

This is crazy. Can I use any sticks?

This thing doesn’t work as advertised. Don’t waste your money.

nice spot

And that inverter, I’m surprised is even working for you It’s for 6amps, and the saucepan is 12 amp draw I know this, cause I too bought this set up With the inverter powering it, I couldn’t get it to stay on And then I just plugged into my cigarette lighter by itself …. And It only smelled really bad when it started heating up. I immediately returned it

Takes you back to a simpler time . A simple meal but absolutely delicious nothing better

3:26 pm I enjoy your game processing and cooking of wild game. Good to know the backwood skills for survival and Good eating !!

How do you keep track of the crimping? If you are like me, I would forget to crimp and elbow someplace and my blind spot would keep ignoring it.

Thanks for making the video it helped me decide if I'm going to put one of these in a seller floor. With added insulation around it.

Thank you for sharing your outdoor adventure. I appreciate the time you spend doing it and it inspires me. Cheers from Canada!

I'm a very skeptical person-and was given one of these fruit bearing Y branches and saw it for myself years ago. I couldn't believe that branch was twisting in my hands like it was-and hard! I mean, we all know trees know where water is/how to find it (that's why they love to grow straight through our pipes! LOL)...so it makes sense. It's just surprising that a CUT branch does it. Wild stuff.

Your Sooo Right!!! Lol 😂 I actually thought it would get hot 🥵 So I tried to cook Beef Stroganoff one night on my Semi…Same thing…Took FOREVER… Finally put in microwave to cook the rest of the way

Follow up? Do you still like it?

Thanks for posting the warning at the beginning. Before you go cutting into an old drum, be damn sure the old contents were not flammable. Even a drum that seems empty can have enough vapors to explode. A guy in Iowa killed himself welding over an old barrel that he thought was empty, and there are a lot of other stories out there. Filling the drum with water can displace vapors if done correctly.

Have you tried to use a lever locking lid on a steel barrel after removing the old lid? Does it work?

Ya know I'm from the NJ Shore and fished my whole life and in 2020 bought a house in NC and travel all over the US since retiring.... Ya really don't see many 20-30 yr. old.'s fishing, hunting, outdoor stuff like years ago.... Kinda sad..btw..the Mullet Run has started on the Outer Banks for almost 2 weeks now.... be well.

Chain pickerel not a pike

Close to a record

These work great but they leave a lot of sharp edges that you will need to grind down if it is used as a chip barrel that has many different hands on them.

I would be really curious to know how this works. The only scientific explanation I've read is that it's all bogus and voluntary or involuntary hand movements to make the twig move. But us that have actually tried it knows that you can hold the twig as hard as possible and it will still twist against itself, the bark will even come loose while you're trying to not let it move. I'm not going to claim I know you can find water or not, but there is something that make the twig being pushed down.

I had one when I was young for trapping. When the kids were grown and I got back to the woods I scored one then lost it in a fire. I taught myself to make them and now I'm stockpiling wood to use for a retirement hobby. Love the old stuff.

The only thing this test checks for is if your a goddamn moron or not.

There's absolutely no scientific evidence that this process works and with him already having previous knowledge of where the water was it invalidates this test

You can't. We've done hundreds of large scale tests (oil people invested a lot of money doing theirs as well) with THE BEST dowsers/diviners in the world walking around with their devices, as many times as they want, over terrain under which there is already studied natural flow of water (or oil for those that do that). They do their thing, each has its own whacky method, as long as they need, and they mark the spots. Then reviewers outside the experiment analyze the predictions against the paths of water and clearly conclude that the closest predictions do NO BETTER than pure chance, most being worse than chance logically. Funniest thing is the excuses they come up with to explain why they failed. Pyschological studies have explained this and other superstitious phenomena very easily: we never forget a hit but forget or excuse away all the misses; as simple as that, it's deceptively easy to fool oneself.

Hey anytime you need a 4th hunter, I'd be happy to jump in

That was great!

My dad can do it. He let me hold the other end and I couldn’t believe it. I threw my hands away with a big questions in my head of hell the hell can you do that?

Audience, do your M12 stick when you press copper fittings? If so, what do you do to prevent it? Oh and great video presentation Sir.

And you can get one for $199.95 !

Any things to watch for? Your technique looked incredible here so I would value your insight! I'm new to eating fish not new to catching them tho

Get a left handed reel - takes about 1 season to adjust but once you do, you kick the hand switch thing you do after the cast.. thx for the video, learnt a lot about the product.

i have located water mains, fiber lines, sewer and tile with thin metal rods.... i have not tried the stick method or finding wells...but where we live now my wife's great uncle found and the story goes the strength of the attraction was so strong it broke the witching stick in half

These are made out of country not America Velcro corners wont handle wind or snow

I thought the bloke with the skirt on was actually the other blokes grandma about to moan about something in the background

For a tool I'd never use again, no thanks

we had this old white guy in Zimbabwe who can to our house to drill a borehole, and he used this method. I was so confused but when the truck with the drill came they put the submervive pump right at that spot. its amazing. all done with a stick

You are living like a king
