Some survivalists prepare themselves by storing large quantities of food or weaponry, for fear of a total lockdown. Others are scared of financial turmoil, so they invest their money in whatever might become a good bartering currency during the crisis.

Many of these preppers have written to me, worried that they have run out of storage place. When asked what their storeroom contains, many of them admitted that they have allocated a large area for storing barrels of fresh water.

As vital as water will be in times of crisis, there are solutions that could provide you with a generous amount of it, and still have enough storage space for food and other necessities.

One of these solutions is a hand-dug well right within the confines of your property.

Homeowners from all over the country have started digging their own water well in their backyard, and the reason for this practice is not hard to find. Through this strategy, they can free most of the space occupied by those 20 l barrels in their storeroom.

I will show you just how easy it is to dig your own well within the confines of your own property. It is an easy procedure, that I myself have used in the past and it cost me little to nothing at all. This system will do wonders for your family and it will be more efficient than the one a local company might charge you for.

Where to dig the well

This is the most important aspect to consider when you decide to begin your work.

• You must stay away from septic tanks, sewer lines, marsh fields or other utilities.

• Try to find a place to bore the well that has a slight inclination, and place the system at the highest possible angle. This way, gravity will do its job and relieve you from a harder work.

• Make sure you contact the local authorities regarding this matter. In some areas, a building permit is required.

Digging the well

In order for this project to be successfully completed, you will need to follow these instructions accordingly.

1. Arrange the well screen. This structural element is crucial to this construction, as it will filter out the mud and debris that might come in contact with the water. It is represented by the largest pipe and it has slits cut across its circumference. The well will begin at about 3 inches from the end of the 8 in PVC pipe.

2. Use a colored pen to mark sections all along the pipe. These marks should be around 8 in long and 2 inches apart. Do this until you reach a length of 6 feet. pipe section

3. Cut the pipe with a hacksaw, once the desired length has been achieved.

4. On both ends of the pipe apply primer and glue, and place a PVC cap over it. Let it dry for two hours.

5. Place the two-foot valves at the bottom of each pipe, the 4-inch, and the 6-inch one. These components will prevent the water from escaping after it has been extracted. Glue them to the pipes and let them dry.

6. Use an auger to bore the well. By moving it into a clockwise direction, you will make sure that the drilling goes straight. When full, retract the auger and empty it.

7. When the tunnel becomes too deep, attach a drill rod to help you dig even deeper.

8. Next, bail the well and place the tripod on top of the bore.

9. Insert the well screen and install both the outer foot valve pipe and the inner one.

10. Install the handle and test it. Congratulations! You have just secured yourself a source of potable water that will prove to be crucial in the upcoming crisis.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

  1. Perhaps it would be a good idea to practice water-divining first, it’s claimed that 1 person in 6 can learn the art so get all the family on it and the best of luck !

  2. Great idea, but not much usable info. The illustration doesn’t match the abbreviated instructions. How to auger 40-50′ deep? How to put a casing in when the mud sucks it to the sides? How deep to drill beneath the water source for a reservoir? So many unanswered questions.
