A family bought 160 acres of bush up the road from the farm I was born to. There was a spring making about 150 GPH about 200 yards from the end of the road to the property. They built the cabin right over the spring so it was positioned right under the kitchen sink. A hand pump just like yours pumped water into the sink and drew water from about 18" below the kitchen floor. Dig a small reservoir, build a small box to keep out critters and it's just like a dream come true!

Been doing a bit of thinking about your water situation. And found something that might help you out if you and your family decide to stay out in your off grid location. Do a search for ground penetrating radar rentals near you. They are a couple hundred dollars a day (expensive yes.) but maybe someone will give you a discount for some advertising on your channel. From what it looks like it can show you what your ground looks like. (it says that clay like you have can decrease the effectiveness of the GPR, so that would show you places to avoid drilling at. But it also shows you solids (rocks), voids, and metal in the ground.

Wishing I had some trees and water 💦 LOL 😆. Everyone out here has to haul water from town or drill down 800' and hope you hit water. So far I'm loving the quiet time, no noisy or nosey neighbors. I was thinking about doing a KZbin channel and call it "How to live off grid in the desert on $1100 a month." Growing up I used to enjoy going to grandma and grandpa's farm house in the country. They were the first off grider's you know. They had no electricity, no propane, or running water. They grew and raised their own food. I miss those days. It's funny I could tell you a thousand stories about those days. Farm life or off grid life gives you a real love for what God created. Not to mention the lifetime of memories, experiences, and challenges you can't get in city life. Everyday is an adventure and challenges us to solve problems, and learn from mistakes. You and your family inspire me so keep up the great videos.

@@donmcelfresh6678 yes definitely start a KZbin channel. It’s a great source of income and fun to do.

Thank you! I figure if I give up I’d never get water. I’ve given it some time now and it’s about go time once again! Thanks for watching!

I saw Brooke's video, and had to come check out your video about the visit, too. Sorry you didn't get water after all that work. I hope you do hit water soon. Question: Where are you and your wife from originally? Brooke said you left Alabama to move to the U.P., but you don't sound like southerners, so I'm just wondering if you are from Michigan originally, or some state nearby? I see you comment on other channels' lives, like Good Simple Living and (I think) the Stivers or maybe Roots and Refuge. Keep doing what you're doing, and your channel will grow.

That's so cool that they came to your house and Dave helped you!! As you're putting in it, can you pour water down the pipe or blow an air compressor every so often to clear it? Don't know if that would make any difference-never done that before... :) (ps...been watching them for a while!)

We poured water in it and it just stayed up! I don’t have an air compressor out here. We’re off grid! Pfff! 😂

We hit water but the point was so plugged up by time it got there it wouldn’t let it pump. We are about to get back at it! Hopefully the 6th times a charm! 😆

The pipe could freeze if I don’t insulate. The cabin was here when we purchased the property not long ago! It’s definitely not insulated well at all!
