this interview is one of dozens I have, but so many of the old timers as you call them refuse
to allow me to publish, it is for their own kids, but I am working on the problem.
-
Please do more of those kinds of videos. I love to listen to the old timers tell stories about how things were back in the their day. Kids today don't know what hard work is.

Aint sure of what soft ware, kid gave me her old used machine, so what ever that is.
I am like the car driver that can put gas in the car and air in the tires but that is about it
so it is with computer.

yep the soil in places does down to 300 feet in places, while other hit bed rock next to the Republican River at 20 feet down. also know in my life time a number of well and ditch diggers killed by cave ins around here.
only dug one cave as a kid but in the next town a couple kids dug one and his sister was killed, so my father
made me fill it in. lot harder to fill in that dig I am here to tell ya.

How did the guy in the hole get fresh air?
I remember reading about this process and the limit to the hole being how to get fresh air to the digger. Enjoy the videos and your perspective on things at a differrent economic level than myself.

Well they just survived, air did get to be a problem, but life was not worth much, and
people taking risks were common place, yes some did die in such activities.
this ol boy speaking is the salt of the earth, nicer man, I have never met.

problem is many of people either fear or avoid camera. will talk your leg off until I turn on the camera
and of course legal permission is a must. but with that problem I hope to this fall when my work slows.

200 ft. that's deeper than the Greens burg, KS well is that well still in existence? The Greensurg well is billed a the worlds largest hand dug well. 32' in diameter 106' deep. Needed a lot of water for the trains. google for it I wished youtube allowed URLs
Good interview

I have spoken to a number of well diggers that did it by hand, but his is the deepest on record around these parts. Hope to get other old timers to allow me to share their stories, but many fear being bothered.
