The scenery is so fantastic. Seing these videos really makes me feel like I’m there.

Good lord that hot tub looked deep but what a amazing view your very lucky

That pump, while much smaller brought back memories of a remote site I was stationed at in the Army. We would pump water out of a well up a very large hill to refil our water container (blivet). Fortunately we only had to do that two or three times a month. Never needed an on demand water heater though. That water heating up in that container all day got very warm, almost too warm. I did love that view towards the end. I could imagine being in a hot tub with that,, view.

Prime your hose before attaching it to the pump. Toss out the end with the check valve, then just submerse the pump end of the hose and lift it up to get out the air bubbles. Repeat until the hose is filled, then attach it. You will need very little water to prime the pump head at that point, and you won't get the burping that forces you to prime the pump multiple times. Just found your videos today, and am really enjoying them.

That is one heck of a pump. Let me guess, the cat is boss of the dogs.

The water pump we had in the 60's looked like a air compressor and would turn on automatically when like you said built up pressure. We didn't drink the water from the lake but cooked with it, washed dishes and took showers. We also put in a toilet after we dug and installed a drain field and septic tank. I dug the hole which took most of the summer. The pump kept pressure up to the cabin and would kick on once the water was being used. it was a belt electrical driven pump.

Where you live is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I could live off grid. The cities are killing my soul.

That setting is just jaw dropping. We have no lakes or boulders like that in Nebraska. I'm remodeling a hunting cabin on stilts that I want to try to make look like Colorado or Canada in some way. How about loaning me about 300 tons of those rocks?! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Very nice job you did! Love all those pups you have too!

I appreciate your diverse skill set and your cool projects! You seem to be a bundle of energy and quite creative.

What a great spot and set-up. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice set up for having water to use at your relaxing get away! Looked very nice, and rewarding once all the work is done. Love your channel, be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone.

Was very surprised to see your cat Southgate following you! Very nice place, thanks for the interesting episode

I don’t know what the regulations are at your local but when I built 4 cabins and a bath house in Alaska I used a extendahoe back hole and dug a vertical hole about 15 ft.deep which filled to about 6 feet from ground surface then I put a 36 inch by 20 ft. culvert vertically (no bottom and slotted sides down low)in the hole and carefully back filled around the culvert. I then drilled a one inch hole in the side of the culvert about seven ft down to run a PEX line below frost line to the bath house and put the pump and press tank in he crawl space. Then I used a gas pump to pump out the culvert til it ran clear. I had the water tested and all worked great.

What a beautiful view!!

That is an amazing place! Great video, as always. On a binge watch/listen fest as I paint our living room.

April and you jumped in that lake....gutsy. You need to do a fishing video😊

yes sir, she knows the difference between pressure and volume.. very good.. love it..

That is a beautiful place. Nice system for the water.

New follower here. What a beautiful place. Gorgeous country. Looks like a great place to rest and relax.

Such a stunning location, heaven on earth!!

That’s awesome! Spectacular view of the lake and mountains. I want to build a wood fired hot tube one day.

Nice system! Thank you for sharing!

What an AWESOME place you have!

What a wonderful place! Beauty!!! Dream to someday visit Canada - the most beautiful country!!!

damn that place is awesome tons of labor impressive

Lady, I find it fascinating how you carpe Diem. Stay healthy and safe inside your body 😉🤙🏼

I use a kayak bailing hand pump to pump from the bucket into the line. Super useful!

omg. what a set up. good luck girl. I'll be following you

I must say, you're quite a go getter, looks like there's not too much that stumps you, must be tranquil, enjoy each moment!

Mich, just found your channel, great filming, editing, and I also love your sense of humor....! You just got a new subscriber 👍😊

I have used before, have used small trolling motor in tub to provide motion to the water while heating, just on low speed. Great videos

Very nice 👍 water system

Yes please , the rail car Hot Tub would be sweet !

I have a very similar system to yours and I can give you a suggestion for priming your pump. Put a T a little way up stream from the pump with a valve.dump the priming water in it until it’s full don’t close the valve , start the pump and when the water comes rushing out close valve and you have water

I like that Black Bear. He's so nice.

That's a great place

(If you still have the "too big" hot tub) Use 4" foam insulation to build a structure to take up half or more of the volume. You'll need a deck above so when you fill with (half as much) water the foam won't float up. The water pressure will be 1500 pounds or so so the deck needs strong anchoring. Now you'll need half the wood to get it hot! You could make it with logs instead of foam, and that would have less upward pressure...or even rocks...but the foam could be easily removed if you have a lot of guests.

As someone who personally hauled water 35 gallons at a time, every 2 (two) or 3 (three) day's for well over 2 (two) plus years. Circa mid1980's. The one thing I learned by ACCIDENT (paid for brand new WHITE FOOD GRADE BUCKET{S}) is that the sunshine penetrated the white buckets, and would cause algae (slim of the walls / sides of the buckets) to begin to grow. Would require cleaning every third or fourth refill. But the one black bucket I received during my purchase (because not enough white buckets were available at the time, and boy was I VERY UPSET @ the time,) never encountered any algae {not even a hint of algae} in my single "black-bucket," during all of that time, of hauling water. Some time during the first year, late that year, switched to all black buckets. Problem (of algae growth) solved. I mention this only to point out by keeping your water in a dark (black) colored tank, you will less likely have any such problems, not because of the "TYPE PLASTIC," your tank is made of. Love the mining cars. Thanks for sharing. I'm jealous, your dog's help out more than my four-legged son Samson. He just watches. LOL.

My new favorite KZfaqr. 😬👍😳

Like the hot tub.

Honda pumps start on the first pull 👍

Bravo...super

au 🦜 - These Vidjas Just showed up - Nice Canada i wud set up some Trail cams capture wildlife bears etc & post . your sense Humor & scenery won me over

BETTER TO not have the lake end sitting on the bottom but suspended 2 feet from it to avoid sucking up undesirables like dead things and heavy metals that reside on the bottom. Test your water. Waiting to see if you get sick is not the best plan.

Nice place

A tip for the pump, somewhere close to the lake, put a valve on the line running up to your tank and when your done pumping, simply close the valve leaving water in the line, when you go to refill the tank the next time there will be just a little water left in the line so that when you go to prime your pump you just have to open the valve to let the water left in the lines to prime the pump and hose. All you would have to do is simply hold the end of your intake valve up to get the one way valve to burp the air out of the line and pump

😍🥰 you are so cool.you have a naic place

you should spice in a foot of clear piping near the pump attachment so you can see if it is flowing without trekking uphill

Geez whiz I am not the only one with as many dogs and I love your beautiful cat! Where is this in Canada? Simply beautiful!

If only I could find an amazing beautiful hard working woman like you! 🤷‍♂️ lol

Настоящая Женьщина ,все может молодец

hi cool place

I pump from a creek to a pond. I got tired of the setup like this and unsuccessfully priming the pump so I made a setup for water to drain into submersible well pump.

I would take the end of the hose that is in the lake and have some type of float that it holds the end just under the water and up off of the bottom of the lake. You need to prime that Blue hose and make sure it has water in it. Better water, and the bleach is a good idea. Get yourself some starting fluid to help start the pump.

PSA: All "clean" rivers, streams and lakes mostly likely have giardia in them. Especially in the Northern latitudes. If you have ever had giardiasis, you would gladly put a quarter cup of chlorine, chloranimide or bleach in that 2500 gallon tank.

If you fill blue hose with water first it will prime easier.

Put some large rocks in a 5 gallon bucket and submerge it in the lake, then take your intake hose and put it in the bucket. You will then not have to deal with even the sand going into your tank.

Just Helping the algorithm 😁.

I’m sorry did you say there was a lake and some mountains and trees in your thumbnail picture I didn’t quite catch that!…😎

YESSS!!👍😏🇨🇦🌲🔥

This just reminded me I never made the video when I filmed the building of my stone hearth - off grid wood fired horse tub build 5 years ago lol. Where is this location if your able to share any detail at all. Im only curious for costs/permitting for my future

Incredible view ! I discovered your channel yesterday and I subscribed. I have a cabin (no electricity) in Quebec and I would really want to know more about the tank, where did you buy it ?

I woder if they make clear sections/fittings with a pinwheel to show fluid flow?

Really like the plastic liner inside the hot tub wonder where to buy one

I've got an ideal for you on your pump hose before you throw it in the water add you a couple of noodles to a string about 3" under the water pour that hose sticks 3" under the water then put it out there and then you'll be able to pump just water no sand no dirt no gravel

Something about those Canadian women from the bush....

Hi it shows that this Air 2 months ago well I just got it today anyhow may I just suggest that maybe you should put a filter in front of where it comes in so that all the water is filtered just in case sure wouldn't hurt I'm in total outdoorsman and I always do two or three steps beyond you never know I have a water filter purifying tablets I run into a different filter anyhow I'm sorry I'm going on enjoy

For heaven's sake take the front pully shroud off and use a socket and a cordless drill. lol

Is there many cabins on that lake Thanks for sharing Miss

Most water faucets work better without the restrictors; the gubbermint could learn a lot from this video on how well things can really work when the are left un-restricted! They are busy trying to get the other schmoo ideas to work the way they figgure!

Fill your suction hose up before you ever start and it will save an awful lot of priming, the water just left your prime could hear it gurgling as you were hooking up the black hose

Have you thought of filling the suction hose before you try priming?

😎

😘😘😘😘

hello beautifull woman....my gosh I so wich I could meet a grill like you...you are fantastick in all ways 🤗

You can put the end of that hose in a concrete block. Then sand wont go through

I wonder if it would be okay to warm up the pump's engine briefly, before priming the hoses, for an easier startup.

But I was watching your primary the pump and it looked like the one-way valve wasn't working properly that would make it hard to Prime for sure

Sorry. I was hard the entire video. Good job.

Hello Michygoss This is the first time I've watched your vid. Where do you live? BC?

Hiii nice video and really heavenly place. Do you fish in the lake?

A solar powered water pump , as you have it , but you need a toilet flush system on your tank to cut off the water supply when the tank is full . its not kinky , the tech works 😀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈😈😈

Where in Alaska is the cabin?

Great video. Beautiful scenery. The pump looked small for that head but the pressure is impressive. What are the specs and the brand for the pump?

Yeah she's very self sufficient...no need to say can you help me

What lake is this?

What did you make the hot tub from? Looks like a poly tank?

.... Nice system ... Just to know ,,I would have the water tested .. I know of people that drink straight from what appears to be a large snow melt stream ,, incredibly clear ,,cold and moving ...... more than once has someone spent time in a hospital with giardia ....... there are many products that resolve the problem ... For me ,, not worth not knowing .

😁✌🖖👌👍😎

On the hot tub deck you used old trees as a footing, why didn’t you use the trees up on the cliff hut as footings rather than just cut them down & then have to dig n drill to make new supports ??

does that pump automatically shut off when the tank is full...?

Where did you find your hot tub and stove?

Wow.. Let me take care of business!!!

You don't filter that water at all?

i hope my next girlfreind will be like you ... downtoearth , outdoor go getter . im sure your ole-man is very very proud of you sweety........do you have a sisther hehehe

Can you tell us about your star in an upcoming video?

Your tank needs to be on higher ground than your house or on a built support , for the gravity powered water pressure 😀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈

giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and typhoid fever are among the diseases that will come from raw lake water. Filtering, boiling and chemical treatment is recommended even if the water seems clear and tastes good. Beavers are a known source of Giardia lamblia and there are probably a large population of those in your area.

Water source should always have a filter in line and some way to check bacteria no matter how clean you think the water is. Also storing water should always be treated with some type of bacterial agent no lake is 100% clean. Play it safe is all I'm saying.
