Watching this reminds me of the Peace Corps during the Vietnam conflict. During that time, you had a very uneducated workforce filled with Draft Dodgers. You want your well running all the time to bring in fresh water. If you have any organic material growing in the formation of water source, you can possibly have H2s .you see it in production equipment, not just in the oil and gas industry, so sticking your head over tank and breathing in is not recommended. Pipe wrenches 3/8" chain the parachute cord you used is 550 cord its rated to 550 foot pounds. Dress appropriately for the task at hand sandals are not appropriate for task

Not a native speaker, had to look up ambulance chaser. But rubbing their face in cacti seems… all sorts of ironic and right ;)

Try planting a hearty variety of bamboo that doesn’t need very regular watering. Also a massive rain water collection system would be of benefit for when the rainy season comes

I’ve seen a beaver dam made out of rocks

use a pipe wrench on each side to lift it and have a metal plate with a cut big enough for the pipe but not the pipe connection to fit on the pipe and hold it up .

i am not in he impossible camp, but i read an article by Neal Spackan of the Al Beyda project where he essentially said that extending an edge is a lot easier than popping an oasis up out of nowhere, so you bringing in water and organic matter is essentially you extending the edge, and the acreage you're working on will help your porject become more self sustaining once it hits that level

Any river that is incised down from the floodplain runs through a desert… the Tigres, Euphrates …so you need baffles of rocks across the river, rock weirs effectively (beavers achieve the same thing) Uphill silt fills it up eventually connecting to the floodplain. Once the hydrology is reinstated, grass trees grow well and it’s a drought proof floodplain

Ranch hand is a cool guy. Tells you how it is!

even the adds on this channel i dont skip so he can make more land green

Hey question, Is that windmill in anyway salvageable? If so you should right and repair it, get a mechanical pump and attach. take your electric pump to the other well head and let mother nature pump the first well get a nice big tank and put on some posts and leave it there.

Take a 1/2” plate of steel. Bore a hole that is 1/4 - 1/2“ larger in diameter than the outside diameter of what you want to lift. Bore another hole on the other end of the plate so the Jack can grab it. Slide the plate over the top and when you use the Jack it will bind on the tube and you will be able to simply Jack it up. It works wonders when pulling fence posts out of the ground with minimal equipment.

farm hand started whinging pritty qwick when it got dark..

Sean, you're allowing your lack of practical experience to transform from being merely ineffective, to being a danger to yourself and others.

Take a dehumidifier add some solar to it. Take some water out of the air. Your should be able to get 15 to 30gallons a day.

I cannot that guy has on FLIP FLOPS!!!!!!!

I have employed this method in different areas around the world and it absolutely does NOT work as well in arrived desert climates lacking shade. The thermally heated ground of the desert does not cool down sufficiently to create a cooling effect in the Sonoran Desert. I only get a 15 degree improvement and that is not enough to be life saving...and that is in a space created with 2 foot thick strawbale and only 100 sq ft.

I am vaguely familiar with yer area. Years ago, I used to pick up loads of talc in Allamore. Pretty much middle of nowhere. Kudos!

Use a pipe clamp, build a tripod out of 2” water pipe and a cross and 45degree angle fittings, I did this and it’s strong,you can mount a chain fall to it

Holding th metal pipe up... do you have a pipe wrench? Open it big enuf to fit over th inside pipe and let th handle rest on th lip of th exterior pipe.

Isn't there a way to repair the old windmill pump free power supply and free water win win

You need beavers,

I think one of the issues is, people think they can just go out and pitch a tent and plant trees and shrubs and everything will just magically happen... A project like yours is a TON of work and a lot of time and equipment, otherwise it would take 50 years or more, just to get something established. The equipment is vital to the speed and longevity of the project. Also, making an entertaining channel and doing all the work of writing, filming and editing, is a real pain in the butt, it's basically a full-time job, on top of all the other jobs that you're already doing.

You need to hook up with The diesel brothers

Is this not an issue taking apart a Texas government well, with great water quality before and supply for decade, now you take apart the infrastructure? Any permission? Or if it doesn't work you making it work is okay without permission? This is what I am thinking about watching, just curious of actual processes

I believe in you and what you’re trying to accomplish!

Ahem, your lifespan is another critical factor. 😊

How TF do people have so much money to waste on the most idiots things

I’d definitely suggest looking into Nigeria/china’s green wall project. Seems like a way to get more water with less input on your end!

Gas powered T-post driver is so worth it if you have more than about 25 posts to drive in difficult soil. You can do the math, hours per post x labor cost per hour vs $1000 powered driver and time cut by about 75%.

Did you try putting another pipe next to the existing pipe if you got to pull it use a tripod made of heavy steel schedule 40 pipe hey come along a couple good pairs of vice grips with the tripod and come along pull up 6:07 ft clamp pair of vice grips on it cut the pipe above the vice grips hook to come along on repeat the procedure

Use Visegrips to hold pipe

All progress is great progress on a project of this magnitude. Small experiment, perhaps pick a spot where you have greenery. Use a yard stick etc to markout a circle, draw back the soil to make a shallow cone. Using an auger put a hole on the centre depended on the auger length and pack with chipped wood straw etc. When the rain comes hopefully you can get water under the surface and retained in the ground. Would be interesting to compare to an adjacent spot untouched. 🙏❤️

Glad to catch you on your intro. Will subscribe and follow you keenly all the way. good luck.

My Brother in Law and Sister dropped some blasting caps down to the bottom of their casing and set them off and ended up tripling their water output. Might consider that!

Rancid Crayons would be a good name for a punk band made up of Marines.

sell carbon credits but youd have to prove(pay experts) that you are actucally capturing carbon a lot of the biggest corporations are trying (buying up carbon credits) go net neutral this might fund its self

dumps oil so freely imagine what else he dumps on the ground

For beavers to work you need trees & limbs for the beavers to chew down to build the dam. At the end of the days they are destructive animals. This makes a lot of sense to catch or at least slow up the run off

Looks like you kind of know what your doing... Here's a tip that I saw the Saudi, USEING to turn a desert sand dunes into forests. They had no water. They, have designed a tree, that needs, little to no water. They, plant them at four feet tall, very quickly with heavy equipment. Miles and Miles of them. If u find out who, grows those trees too 4 feet for them. You save, 10 years. I was a expert at mass growing of trees in the 70s, me and my Vietnam buddy's, spliced, 48.000 banana trees, from five grown trees. WE did it in Ohio.. when our banana trees were four feet tall. Coasta Rica government, gave us, large track of land. WE planted all 48.000 banana trees, and founded Dole Bananas. Then with the profit, I bought 5 million square miles of land in south and central America, and planted every known fruit tree on earth. And founded, Dole frozen fruit juice concentrated , the ones in the can you add water to. .. good luck, u do know, there is a cotton, fiber like, sail cloth, you hang it up, on high ridges, like a fence, the mess, catches, water, dew, droplets, in the early am, the water, drains to a catch hose, u then brought it to a tank.. u might want to read up of those things.

Old equipment was not designed with repairs in mind; so your frustrations are a common uphill battle all owners of old equipment have. Gratz for showing the real life of maintenance...

Do you have an estimate for the cost per unit length to build swales like the Tucson swales? They have held up for like a century without maintenance, and with heavy machinery, I bet the cost is relatively low and faster than when they dug them by shovel. There's a lot of private philanthropist money you could fundraise for something like that, and lots of individuals like myself would be happy to chip in for that

the cows can spread hardy seeds...

Getting it done

Get some tagasaste trees from usda importer (she is in Houston). You will be able to start grazing with tree fodder in 2 years. Now your soil building is in overdrive from the animals. You're in the perfect climate for these trees. Just do a little research on the massive cattle and sheep operations doing this in Australia where no grass grows.

Excellent instalment, really enjoyed this

Your supposed to tie the wire all the way up the well pipe so they move as one and the wire doesn't get messed up

If you are going to be in middle of no where, I think it's time to invest in a newer or more reliable dozer that won't break so easily

does attracting certain wildlife help the soils and spreading of seeds. like birds for example. creating habitats for small wildlife and insects. aside from cattle and other barn animals. aren't swales the best way to catch rainwater and keep it in the ground? i had plants go from seed to fruit with just light rain using a swale. it did take soaking it initially though. but like those guys who brought all that organic material on their trip like the branches and stuff. what if you dug out little areas and buried little loads like that every now and then? does anyone know if that would be worth the effort? if you collected dead plant material around the property every now and then to bury and also build large compost piles, and in ground compost piles.

I'm no stranger to doing stuff the hard way, but the way you guys are going about it, i'm not sure is even a way. Yall need an old geezer that knows a bit of somethin somethin about somethin. Theres probably 20 years worth of bugs and stuff down both of those bores. It will clean up a lot after you pump it some. Dont drink that any time soon but it should be fine for plants
