But there is no electricity. How will you get water? You have a well? Buy one of these and you will have water. It has a valve on the bottom. When it goes underwater, the valve opens. Cool, clear, water.

Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

All I have to do is pull up 375’ of plastic pipe and wire, and the pump of course, then lower that puppy & pull it up full of water. Think I’ll just run my generator and use the pump that’s down there. It burns maybe a gallon of gas an hour, and can pump a lot of water in an hour. One of those big poly tanks they sell at the tractor store might be a good idea. What fresh Hell is this?

On the other hand, in a dire SHTF situation, there will be some bad guys with guns out and about, looking for food and other stuff to steal. If they hear a generator running, they will go to the sound of that generator.

Just a piece of weighted stove pipe with hold drilled in it on 1/2 of other end. Bottom was closed. You just dropped it down well case let it sink and fill up. Pull it back.
