Fixing Solar Bore Pump and Exploring Outback History

Join me on a fascinating journey through the Outback as I fix a solar bore pump and delve into the area's rich history. Watch as I troubleshoot and repair the pump, and then explore an old well to uncover some fascinating artifacts and stories from the past. Plus, I've included some historic footage of camel shooting, a glimpse into a little-known chapter of Australia. Don't miss this unique adventure in the heart of the Outback.

Great work Jack. Efficiently done and well explained while doing it. Thanks for taking the extra efforts to share with us.

My pleasure!

Good one 👍🇦🇺

Jack, seeing you connect these powerlines made my eyes hurt. You could make your life way easier by using WAGO 221 connectors. Just flip a latch and you are on your way again. They even have a waterproof container for the connection. Used a couple hundreds of these bulding our house here in Germany.

[@cosmodog4845]

First class Jack in every respect, thank you very much.

[@jack_out_the_back]

You're very welcome, thanks for the support 👍

[@duncanm6589]

Another great video Jack, well done and good commentary along the way. Good to get rid of a few camels as well. The number of camels about in the drought after your water must have been horrendous. Interesting about the well next to the salt lake.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks for the feedback! The scenes on the lake are some of the worst I would have seen.

[@edwardaw1]

I am so enjoy your video Thanks Jack

[@John-kl3ue]

Good video mate great country…I remember when we were their years ago ,,the tanks used to have big dents from camel necks reaching in for a drink ..Jerra Jerra tank sticks in my memory 👍

[@jack_out_the_back]

Cheers! Yeah down there it gets hammered, we've removed a lot of feral from there.

[@peterpanatos5488]

Hi Jack Rigid used to make a special type easy out they not worm drive rather straight full thickness that don’t break will look in my shed if I still have the set Regards Peter

G'day great video mate 👍.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks 👍

[@markcrawford2955]

Great work jack on the solar pump replacement 👍 possibly mineral build up from the water would cause failures. Loving your vids mate just as good as the high ranking ones . Just do me a favour and use those multi grips the right way 😂😂 . What brand of solar pump is that I sell commodore and nastec and have previously sold others we won’t mention ?? Great to have genny backup always helps when you live where I do installs with lots of cloudy weather on the east coast . Still loving the truck episode that was gold 😂😂

[@BigDaddyD72369]

Nice vid man! Howdy from Point Blank Texas!

[@jack_out_the_back]

G'day!! Thanks for watching 🤠

The pink and gray cockatoos are worth $1,000 US in the USA.

I hated pulling windmills especially on me own, thank God for solar aye.

[@jorgemrivera5973]

Hey man, first video I seen WOW amazing quick question, what do you do with the camels?

[@jack_out_the_back]

Our desire has always been to utilize them in a useful and productive way, so in a good season (or with good condition animals) I take steak! But during the plague we dragged them into piles and burned them. It was tough to see animals like that.

[@johnsheehan4184]

Good job. Was some of the footage of the camels on Landline there a few years ago? Keep up the good work👍

[@jack_out_the_back]

Yeah some of it was!

[@user-teabager]

Hey buddy is there a video of the camel shots mate

[@mibberz1]

also bring down some camel loins next time

[@jack_out_the_back]

I'll make sure I pop some in the freezer for you Rick 👍

[@warrickjones590]

My browning 243 got Dailey work dingos donkeys n the odd camel.

[@timschutz2475]

great blog jack i am using similar pump frum touhorse 500w solar i am curious as to your water quality mine is about 3000ecs 45m in limestone about 30 ks nth of river murray but im lucky to get 12mths run before it needs new rubber stator available from touhorse or aliexpress @ 1/3 price great show thanks &best wishes tim

[@jack_out_the_back]

G'day Tim! Most of ours get 18 or more months, we found that the best 3" pumps wear the stator out quicker no matter the water quality. And a good number of our points have harder water. I'll dig up the quality tests later.

[@andrewbrown9267]

You asked about merch why not you do farmer stile tops like you were wearing in the end of the video the green one with the logo on it

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Jack how deep is the well

[@bensbullet]

you really should be running a safety wire on your pumps mate if anything ever happens and you snap it off the hose and power wire its a mission to get it out could block up the bore

[@1chrisandangie]

been there

[@rustyshakleford5230]

I went hunting in the Adirondacks and the bugs were like that and it was miserable. What do you guys do when the bugs get real bad?

[@jack_out_the_back]

It's one of those things where you need to just get use to them, I've tried a good number of repellents. Nothing seems to deter the flies!!

[@67hr74]

not even Deet-er them!@@jack_out_the_back

[@rule1979]

Enjoying your content mate. What were you using on the camels... .308?

[@jack_out_the_back]

Cheers! Yeah that's a Remington 700, Varmint SPS in a KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis, in .308. A short while after this, I had to get a new barrel, but unfortunately the bolt has been damaged by the excessive workload. The other rifle is a Remington 7600 Pump in .308, but it was not reliable enough.

[@rule1979]

@@jack_out_the_back Maybe a Tikka T3 would fit the bill! I’ve been reasonably happy with the stainless Howa, although the chamber periodically develops a fine rust which is frustrating.

[@jack_out_the_back]

@@rule1979 Yeah I've given one a good work out before, I'm actually now using an Australian made modernized Lee-Enfield, An Australian International Arms M10, which is very hardy.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

​@@rule1979 Every Tikka I've owned has had a glass smooth action. They are a seriously underrated firearm.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Do you sell those stubbie holders? Not enough camels are being culled. Glad the drought bought them to you.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Nah we don't at this stage, we don't quite have the numbers of them, nor the supply chain to get them to people.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

I thought you had to thread your PTFE tape backwards in the southern hemisphere?

[@ianbell735]

Hey Jack are your solar pumps 12volt

[@jack_out_the_back]

Hi Ian, no. These are 36v pumps. We do have two other pumps in two places, a 12, and a 24v and they are diaphragm pumps.

[@ianbell735]

@@jack_out_the_back thanks for the reply are your 12v diaphragm ones good I am thinking of fitting one from dam to gravity feed tank for troughs

[@johnplunkett6633]

any gold nuggets out there jack

[@jack_out_the_back]

None that I've found! The geology around the station is not indicative of gold, and information from drilling indicated that the the small amounts that were detected were a long way down, but they have been good water bores!

[@esther_monaco]

Is that still the yellow Dog?

[@jack_out_the_back]

Nah, it's Canary, I'll do a video later showing what happened to Dogani.

[@1chrisandangie]

its no picnic

[@3535gt]

I’ve killed a lot of animals but never considered camels. Ive heard of the feral camels in the past. Do y’all do anything with the carcass? Or leave them for the animals.

[@jack_out_the_back]

I like to try to make use of the camel meat, when I have a small number I will take the meat for steak or sausages. We did a trial program last year where we harvested 200 camel for pet meat. During the dry period I reference, we just piled the bodies up and burnt them.

[@nigelmorgan3449]

I think the camel meat would make good pet food

[@redtussock]

Why not just tape the new cable to the old cable and pull it through the conduit, no need to dig them up, and or leave a bare end connector laying out in the open.

[@jack_out_the_back]

The bends and angles in the buried line doesn't always make it great. I often do that for our sensor lines though!
