All pix are not in order. I thought i would like to share some of these pix with everyone. EZ, me and JJ and help from all of our friends were able to run basic water line through tangles of Man eating Manzanita, that stuff rates almost as hard as iron wood certainly as hard as rosewood or mahogany i know this as i work with it in manufacturing and repair of stringed instruements . The pic of the water flowing from pump is the direction the main water line will take uphill through tangles of all kinds of stuff. I used a Machete to clear approaches so we could lay our main water lines uphill to the 2500 gallon storeage tank over 800 feet away. It took about 90 minutes to get it to the tank. EZ did the first run of pipe and did it faster than we expected. We had our friends at Lone Oak do the plumbing as they knew that using Venturi valves at the T joint for the risers and spigots was the only way to prevent blown lines underground. Each spigot cost $40 to assemble properly. The pic shows the main tank water delivery pipe pumped at 3.5 gpm max by our beautiful solar pump. Down hill gravity feed is off the charts. The ditch pick is that of the main line running to 4 spigots and eventually 2 more at the GH pads. It took 3 guys to put the tank on the truck and two guys and assist from JJ on the Mule to roll it uphill about a half a football field distance. Felt like a Scarab beetle doing that, they are surprizingly light for their size. The pic of the pump looking at a ttView attachment 3969865 angle is what we ran the pipe through. There is the tank finally full of precious water. The excavator was awesome as is the operator, he taught me how to work that thing, good old Carl, but i still have to work on leveling with a half empty Corona.
Thats a Thomas Glover Reference book. It is a valuable asset and has everything to help an off grider make life nice. Get one and you will not regret it, thanks EZ. The last pic is how camp looked the morning after i watered and left for some R&R. Me at my favorite surf spot..

Thanks bro, we were dog tired after that day. We have an above ground 14 ft pool to install so we do not have to leave in the heat of the day to go to the river for a cool down in the snow melt. It will be fed continually during day light hours if we want. There is a pic of a hand forged ax head with a type of hammeri v surface at its rear, nurled to hell. EZ found it with the metal detector that runs on 2, 9 volt batteries. Sunsets are great at Wild Wood.20170608_201713.jpg 20170615_205734.jpg 20170608_201509.jpg 20170608_190753.jpg

Another tale: two neighbors are out scouting for a guerilla grow, deep into the forest they came accross six abandoned rubber maid totes all full of really dried out and or molded buds. There was dust and pine needles all over the totes, no money was found. Pot was no good to use.
Wonder what happened there?:shock:
