You can look up the soils for your property online and it will tell which soils are found at different depths. I've found it to be fairly accurate. I think a sand point would be a better option and stealing water from the serial killers well down the road though. that never ends well. Maybe your neighbor is messing with you and that's the koochiking county gay hookup site. A guy can hope. I hunted bear in Kooch County some years ago. Used an outfitted by the name of Tom Lindley who was a small time operation when I hunted there. He ran a highly successful camp and had a good price for the bear hunting. Then he got pretty big. Not sure if he still does this....or if he is out of biz? He was quite a phenomenon back in that time. He once killed a bear by laying in a trench near the bait and spearing the bear....kinda like the Indians would have done it.....or so I'm told. He made a video on this kill.....but the DNR warned him that if he promoted that video they would prosecute him. I saw a part of the video in the year he made it (knew the guy that was running the camera). Tom is a great guy.....and I guess you could call him a free-spirit. Wild eyed and always scheming for a new way to do something. Gotta love guys like that.....not many left. A genuine Jack-Pine Savage. Kinda reminds me of Art. (huge grin).  . |

Jack Pine Savages are a high goal for you guys to shoot for, or in some cases shoot at. It sounds to me like foggy’s wife could put that well in for you. She is the brains and muscle of the outfit. Foggy is just the speaker. |

I used pond water the first year we had our place.....and had some issues with my sprayer as noted above. Then, I hauled water for a year or two. Finally I drove a sand point well.....and have never looked back. The well was pretty easy to do as I used an electric jack hammer to pound the pipe. Even my wife could run the jack hammer. I suppose I spent about $500 with the pump and all. Not sure about your situation.....but much of northern MN is sand point well country. Edit: I was just reflecting on my sand point well experience. I used a vacuum cleaner to make a starter hole about the diameter of the vacuum hose.....and about 5 feet deep. I made a saw-tooth end on a plastic pipe.....and just rotated it against the ground with my shop vac hooked onto the pipe. In a few minutes I had a 3" diameter hole about 5 feet deep. Easy peasy. That made it easy to rig up my well pipe to pound the pipe into the ground with the jack hammer from the rental store. Of course dont tell this to SD......as none of this would work with solar power. HUGE GRIN  . Since then.....I've used that vacuum idea a few times to make a hole in the ground. Pretty slick.....if you have sandy soils. I hope you own a lot of hats Foggy, cause you're gonna be eating them one by one as stab camp develops. I have a solar powered solution for water on my place. I cannot disclose the design because it is not my own. But I can tell you it's another solar hack that will cost a few hundred dollars vs many thousands for an on-grid conventional well. |
