You can tell the excitement in your voice that you and Sierra have a well and running water. No more melting snow at the homestead. Big congratulations to both of you.👍

Having done electrical work for over 40 years, the one thing that stood out is you need a heavier gauge extension cord to run from the gen to the pump plug. That one looks like 16 or 14-gauge. I'd go with a 12-gauge cord. Then you won't risk burning out your pump! and you probably won't have the pulsating in the Champion Gen, or set the cord on fire. And the male plug on the pump is the cheapest thing sold everywhere! Wire the end into a raintight box when you get a chance!

Awesome...you can run that hose straight to your shower house and put a simple camping propane water heater in line if you want. Congrats

You need a well house to prevent damage from bears, moose, deer etc, and to keep it snow free. I would also just bury PVC pipe to the house tank and the coop tank and install a simple manifold with valves in the pump house, so you don't have to drag hoses around

Maybe a pressure switch in case the hose inadvertently gets shut off. Have you considered maybe building a generator shed in combination with the wellhead cover? (Keep the power leads short and not have to dig the generator out in the winter.)

Nicely done! Land is valuable, but land with an established well is vastly more valuable. This is an Investment that greatly increases land value, while making life so much better! Great decision, love the channel!

Congrats!! The homestead just took a major step up. Happy for you guys.

It was easy to see how excited you are and it is something that's very easy to take for granted when you're hooked into a city water but when you don't you learn to appreciate running water very fast.

Congratulations. I would make a single recommendation. Add a light to your well house that comes on when the well is on. It will help you know from the inside of the cabin or a distance if the well pump is on…especially if the valve is not on. Congrats again!!!

Your off-grid homesteading journey is truly inspiring! The way you've transformed raw land into a thriving oasis is a testament to your hard work and dedication. Your vlog captures the beauty of sustainable living and the joy of connecting with nature. Keep sharing your experiences - they're a source of motivation for those of us dreaming of a simpler, more self-sufficient life!🫰👏

78 feet is a deep well it should last a good long time. You should never run out of water. You can get home kits to test well water too. First Alert, the same company that makes the smoke detectors makes them,, among others. Also, It should be possible to add a automatic switch that measures load ( amps) to the power supply of the pump so that if you ever forget to shut the pump off before you shut the valve it will shut itself down. Just to be safe. (P.S. The well water here in the agriculture area of the country is all poluted.)

Yayy! Happy for ya'll 🎉 something that most people would take for granted and you guys are fully appreciative of it. Really puts things into perspective. Makes me thankful for my running water😅

So glad you have fresh water now. Just a thought, your hose should be drinking water safe, lots of unhealthy chemicals in regular garden hose. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Congratulations Kyle and Cierra!! Very proud of you. Great job!!

Already been talked about I see… get a heavy gauge extension cord. My father burned up a table saw with a weak cord. No sense in paying for a another new pump. I enjoy your content! 🇺🇸🏁🤘🏻

Definitely build some type of shelter around it. Standing in the rain while waiting for a 5 gallon container to fill ain't fun. Or, a hot, bright sunny day, the shade will be nice. As much for your comfort as for protecting the well

So happy for you both and now crystal clear well water! Nothing better then that! Enjoy your cabin even more now! ❤️

The fact that the two of you have found eachother is amazing. Each willing to tackle this adventure together is not something many people find in a partner. Wishing the two of you the best.. skeeter and the chickens also.

Happy for you both, you should use a White RV hose for drinking water instead of the green hose.

I randomly came across your videos and the first one I saw was from months ago and I thought why not have a well drilled. I grew up in a rural area in WV and when we got a well drilled it was great.

Congrats to you on having a drilled well! you are So Very right about well water tasting better than city water. no chemicals, just pure clean cool water! your Home looks Awesome! Love watching your videos! :)

We have a well and my dad always said it’s the BEST water!

House is great idea, can store generators in there, spare water jugs, hoses mayne even wite up an ecoflow with solar on top! I have bought multiple ecoflow units because of you and your channel. There are also different hoses you can run in colder tems!

Under the ground not gonna freeze but outside metal parts and tubes will freeze during the winter for sure ya need small house keep it warm

Hell yeah brother!! I’ve been waiting for this video!! This is awesome!!

( Tom here. ) Kyle, congratulations on your new water source. You are becoming more self-sufficient each and everyday, sir. Continued good luck in your quest to live off the land. Take care. (Tom)

Good for y'all enjoy soooo much easier than rain water and melting snow for sure.

you could probably add some splitters -- that way you could maybe do like a little outdoor gardening sink, plus have access for hoses, sprinklers and all that. you can just use normal hoses and drain them if you leave for a while. worst case the hose freezes and you replace it. super cheap.

Major Move. Great Advancement. Be Happy!

Great plus for the cabin Kyle. Next plan trench in some 3/4" black water line to a frost free hydrant for the Girl, garden and anywhere you want one. Enjoy Buddy.

0:01 "WELL, it's offical" .. lol! Congrats!

Wow that is going to be so nice for you and Cierra having a well. I can see that both of you are really going to appreciate having this.

Game changer! Congratulations.

You can tell that you are excited about the new well and i think that is fantastic! Congratulations

Congratulations! Your cup runneth over!

I love the vintage “UNOCAL 76” hat. I used to work at one in the late 80’s early 90’s. Nice upgrade with the well. No more hauling or collecting rain water or melting snow. I’m all about off grid convenience.

we live in a city, in the suburbs, in new zealand. We dont buy fancy drinking water we just drink straight from the tap. Our water is artesian and its great.

thats going to be a game changer congrats

That is fantastic Kyle, congrats!!

Congratulations 🎇 Be sure to use a non-toxic hose for drinking water.

Happy for the two of you Kyle. I've been without running water before and it's definitely a luxury.

That’s great Kyle. Well done 👍🏻

I am very excited for you both because this is a huge deal to not have to be worried about water. One less daily chore in the winter. I have an idea for your well house, a common (Welluck 15 amp flanged 120v inlet) would be perfect for this application. That way you can use solar or generator power with no fancy wiring. I used a similar unit for my tiny cabin. 😁

Congrats brother that is awesome. I live in Valdez, Alaska and the quality of water here is as close to I’ve tasted to well water…again that’s awesome for y’all.

So happy for you! I've been hauling water from town for over 4 years now. Hopefully will be sharing my appreciation of having clean running water at my cabin in the near future. Thanks for the great videos!

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

Way to go!!! Enjoy! Take care.

Congratulations. ❤🎉😊 everyone should appreciate there source of water as you do .

Please put a split adapter for different hoses. Use the green one for watering and buy an RV grade water hose for drinking. The green ones aren't to be used for drinking.

thank you for explaining and also for the video 👍👍👍

Also hard on the generator, and like the other commenter said , you have to have a good heavy extension cord , so you don’t have too much voltage drop , and yes the cord will heat up if it’s not heavy enough gauge

May the lord bless and protect you

Awesome congrats on water 💧 definitely worth it!

So happy for you. Water is life.

God's blessing you remember that

I couldn't be more happy for you guys. You are so deserving of this. Snd I know you will appreciate it.

congratulations definitely a game changer

Wow 🎉 Congratulations. I am happy for the both of you

Congratulations guys! So exciting.🎊

We have a well here in Florida but only water the grass with it. It’s a deep well. But we have an ionizer at our kitchen sink. Congratulations!!

The last house we lived in had well water. We drank that for 25 years. I miss it. We live in a small town now and the pump so many chemicals into the water I can smell it when I walk into the house. 6 years and it still stinks. All the water we cook with or drink goes thru a Britta filter.

Congratulations 🎉🙏💕🥰 to both of yous 💕

Congratulate. God bless you.

Congrats on the well. Fluoride was never meant to drink. And yea, i never video hardhats. 😄

Game changer, It's awesome

Water is life, congrats!

You both must be so excited! Just one tip - I saw that you're powering the pump with a small gauge (wire diameter) extension cord. That to me is a no, no. It's called something like power drop, loss. Always plug the pump directly into your generator. Google it and see what I am talking about.

My thanks. Carry on. -Seb!

Congratulations

I’m glad for you.

Congrats! I'm very jealous.

Yay! I see an outdoor shower coming!

Well house is a great idea.

Great that you now have a well

I miss good well water, congrats on your new well

Well played, young man 🎉.

Here in SE Arizona wells start at about $20,000. So rainwater harvesting is definitely the most economical way to get water here.

Glad it worked out for you!

major accomplishment!!! congrats!!!!

So happy for you guys !!!

Awesome!

Awesome guy's!!! Congratulations 😊

Congrats...real happy for you guys.

So happy for you guys. Also it will be a much-needed time & labor saver.

Another interesting video keep them coming

Excellent!

Great going!

Congratulations 👏👏👏

This will free up some time for other projects.

Awesome great job. I drilled well several years back and had nothing but salt water unusable moved over about 400 feet drilled another well then again, salt water.

That is fantastic that you finally got water and you don't have to haul it from somewhere else. We don't drink our city water, we go and refill our gallon jugs. Can't even stand the smell of it coming out of the tap.

Very excited for you!

I'm happy for you guys 😊

Congratulations!!!!🎉

Congratulations 🎉🎉

Congratulations guys, I’m real happy for you! It’s gonna make your life so much easier! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

Cabin look nice good job.

Congratulations!

Bravo, big plus.

Congratulations on the well
