Preparations for Economic Collapse - Water storage vs. Well

There are a lot of people who are preparing for the second wave of the economic collapse, and part of those preparations should address the issue of water. One approach is to store bottles or jugs of water in your house. We decided to get a well and a hand pump instead. In this video I'm going to give you a partial tour of our land and also talk a little more on the subject of gold and silver.

I inherited about 8 acres of land in East Texas. My husband and I are planning on moving onto it in the future. We have decided to pay off all of our bills first since we ran up large bills raising our children. We have been talking about putting in a well now for use when we move there. However, with the drilling for natural gas/oil that is planned, we worry about the well becoming contaminated. Is there drilling near you? If so, do you think they could ruin your well?

@annonline1968 - There isn't drilling right where we are, but there is some in the area. We haven't really worried too much about well water getting contaminated from drilling, but I guess it is a possibility. The water we have needs to be filtered anyway... it has a lot of iron in it.

recently subbed. very interesting shit. while i have been aware of the downward spiral for years, modern life has seemed to always get in the way. but you, sir, are opening my eyes to the possibilities that are out there.

i have so far seen several vids. very informative stuff. kudos.

@peetree1977 im from birmingham uk, nice to see that not everyone in the uk is deluded, no one around me seems to care, i tell people and they either think im crazy or agree and dont seem to be bothered. There mind appears to be warped by the media and technology.

I'm hoping the system can be altered in a way that will not force even a temporary collapse. Still trying to figure out how a normal citizen of the world can influence such a change, but I'm supporting the solutions shared in the "Money as Debt" documentary. It's a documentary I think everyone should watch.

I only ask because everyone around here seems to think that either nothing will happen their head firmly buried in the sand or that they can't do anything about it but as Gerald Celente and others have said... its better have a supply of food and not need it than to not have any and need it.

Hi there,my names Peter from Carlisle UK,I've been watching quite a few of you folks in the States preparing for what looks like the impending collapse,even though here in the UK things don't seem to bad(yet)I've started to stockpile tinned food (meat fruit beansmainly)and I do happen to have a getaway plan if things get really nasty,as for your topic on water I'm fortunate to live just a few mile from theLakeDistrict.Question how would you get people to prepare since they ain't listening to me?

Nice setup you have there. I am only 20 and haven't had a job for about a year so I don't have resources to put aside for stuff like this. Although, my Mom has 4 acres of her own land with a well, we will just need to get a hand pump. What was the brand name of your hand pump and the cost? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

[bubber25]

how much was the total cost of getting a well drilled?

[Houshalter]

I live on a farm, we have a cistern, and 2 wells, one of which is manual (although it currently doesn't work.)

Don't drink water out of old quarries except in emergencies though. Those are often full of all sorts of industrial waste.

nice job A. you are providing well for your family.

and stock that pond with FISHIES!

just goto a fishing hole, catch a bunch of fish and dump them in your pond... it works.

You are very wise. Air, water, body temp, food, shelter, defense, transportation MOSTLY IN THAT ORDER. What I see sometimes are these huge pools people throw away that material can be used to line a dug out area and you could use it for a liner or use it to collect rain water. Right now things are easy pretty soon things are going to quickly grind to a halt many will suffer shock when they realize the rug has been pulled out from under them. Great video nice pump.
