Canadian viewer here! With a flowing creek could you rig up a ram pump to gravity-feed water a garden. A ram pump uses the force of moving water to slowly pump water up hill, its so clever! Use it to fill a reservoir on stilts near yoir garden. Who cares if it takes a few days to fill, you only water every few days anyway! Keep up the great work

That would be a great place to store your freeze dried food to maximize shelf life due to the stable temperature.

I think you're right about SHTF times, boring plus hard work, drudgery, and no AC!!! But the boredom will be only during the good times, if you get my meaning. From East Texas.

Lol cute kitty. Funny kid! Lol. Great idea for a food stash!! I personally would store vacuum sealed items. I shared on my community fb page boots on the ground prep.

Two great ideas. The little things make the biggest difference.

Great instructional video Jason. I liked the way you honored the value of sweat equity and included the lad in the process. Thanks

Jason thank you for all the videos you put out. Knowledge is such a great power to have and this is one thing you provide the community in spades good sir. I was actually surprised that in only 30 mins the temp dropped 20 degrees. A great way to store some extra goodies. Can't wait for the next one.

Breathability is important to prevent spoilage also. Root cellars are generally well ventilated.

I prefer fall because I can't stand the intense heat, especially when the heat index is over 100-105. I'll be in trouble in the long hot summer that seems to never end.

I see you reached that "should be deeper but I don't wanna dig any more" point. :D

Jason, Great hole. You could maybe put some sort of circular cut out piece of plywood at the bottle. Run rope through it and have the rope running to the top so when things are at the very bottom you could pull it up with the rope make things easier to grab

if you went a couple feet deeper you should get in the low 50's for temp consistently, the top couple feet of soil is still getting radiant heat from the sun and air temp. Good video.

​@SurvivalDispatch Going deep is worth it tho. Use a larger diameter stormwater pipe to put the barrel in so that the barrel stays loose in the hole, and then put a plug of styrofoam on top the barrel, followed by a sheet of plexiglass, buried only like 5-6 inches deep. This way you get the insulation of going deep but when you go to dig up the barrel from three foot deep, you're only digging up six inches and then pulling up a styrofoam plug from inside the stormwater pipe.

❤I come from Germany. My grandmother and we often stored carrots with a layer of carrots on top and a layer of sand, but that doesn't work well in buckets, probably because there isn't enough ventilation. We probably would have just had to bury them in the ground to get a better result. always good topics 👍👍

Great video. Great motivator

A digging bar would of helped you out immensely.

Completely, entirely, thoroughly, as in He chopped off the branch, clean as a whistle . The allusion in this simile is unclear. It may have been a replacement for the 18th-century clear as a whistle , which alluded to the pure, clean sound of a whistle (it has few overtones).

Lifes a garden, dig it

if you want those supplies to not get stolen, burials have to be done at NIGHT leaving no trace, showing no light. If you can't manage that, then you'll have to have a TALL tent in which to hide what you're doing! If you have a freeze-thaw cycle in your area, you have to put 3-4" of gravel around and under your container. if you dont want ground-heaves to expose your container, it has to have at leasta foot of dirt over the top of it. It has to be plastic, or i't'll rust out in a year or 2. Paint it black, so it wont be seen at night so easily Coat any metal parts with cosmoline, wrap the container in 2 layers of ratwire, cosmoline the wire and wrap the package in 2 drum liners. In one night, you can dig the hole and discretely dispose of the excavated dirt. Camp nearby and keep an eye on the hole, so nobody comes-around. Next night, bring in the drum, lashed to a bicycle, walking beside the bike. Move the gravel in the same way. Cut a 6 ft wide, odd-shaped hunk of fiberglass screenwire and bury it about 6" down from the surface, over your container, so as to stop digging by coons and canines. adequatey secure caching is a HUGE pita, which is why almost nobody does it. First, you have to test the area for rocks, caliche, roots, etc. Make an auger, by welding a 1" wood-boring bit to a hunk of steel rod. Weld the rod to a 1/2" OD pipe nipple. buy a couple of 1/2' pipe couplings. a 1/2" Tee" connection and 3 of the 2 ft long 1/2" pipe segments from lowes. Cut one in half and screw the eds into the T. Join the 2 other pipes to the nipple and each other. screw the T to the pipe assimbly. Then you'll have a "test auger". Drill a hole about 4 ft deep, one every square foot of the area where you'll dig or the cache. Put the dirt on a poncho, and replace it. Remove the surface dirt with a trowel or E tool and replace it. Once a month, walk past each burial and do a quick scan for signs of digging, by humans or animals. You can prevent smaller animals from accessing your caches, but not bears. Dog proof coon traps will remove coons from the area so that they can't steel the baits that you put into the bucket-snares that you use for dogs. Can't have dogs yelping or howling, foot in a trap. The buckets get lag-bolted, horizontaly, to the base of a small tree. A slit in the side of the bucket allows you to power the snare with a bungee-strap. An 8" ID hole is cut into the bottom of the bucket, and a piece of small ID wire mesh/expanded metal is pop riveted to the bucket. Many dogs wont stick their heads into a hole that has no visible way thru (they think) Once it's shtf, the buried sardine-baits will let you deal with the bears. Cable the snare to an 8" OD pipe, at least 1/8" wall thickness at least a foot long. and to 300 lbs of drag logs. Bury the pipe vertically, flush with the surface of the soil, with the sardines at the bottom of the pipe. Weld some 60 penny spikes into holes drilled around the pipe, at an angle about 30 degrees from vertical Bury all of these traps, your fish and bug netting, bug sprays, soap, trotlines and Rotenone fish poison where you'll; be using such things, so you dont have to haul them there when you bugout.

Cute boy! His hair reminds me of my son when he was younger. Now my son's hair is mostly gray but still curly

re: "clean as a whistle" ... think steam, the superheated steam of a steam locomotive would remove *EVERYTHING* from the surfaces of the whistle , including paint. (on the inside) as well as sterilizing it

Im curious to see what kind of condensation builds up. Looking forward to the updates.

I am the same way, I'd rather deal with the summer humidity and heat over winter. Hydration is the key but I'd you add Sole and apple cider vinegar to your water even lemon helps hydrate you better. I am thinking of doing this also. I need to find a good drum I can bury.

My dad bought some those for rain catchement but I said he shouldn't use a pickle barrel because the water will taste like pickles. So he decided to just use the water for their garden planter boxes anyway. I bought a 55 gallon blue water barrel and now they use that for rain catchment. My mom uses old home depot garden buckets, not used for anything else, out in the yard before a downpour which happen regularly up here in mid Michigan in summer.

They pour the water collected into 55 gallon drums as stated above.

I remember a springhouse in southern Virginia from years ago. Spring fed into a rock/concrete building and it was cold inside in summer. Milk was kept in the water for storage. When I went to Mount Vernon ie George Washington estate, I asked how they kept fruit and veggies good in the root cellar. They told me they used sawdust as filler. How is your storage working out?

You're so funny, always in sandals do that stuff😂

"Clean as a whistle" might refer to clean at the glance but not if you knew what its been used for

12:31 The reasons why you like your grub hoe are the same reasons why I like the long handled wooden E-tools from WW2/Korea. You should get yourself one and try it out

Insulate the top with Styrofoam to build it up and cover it with plastic so water doesn't settle in the cap and maybe get into the barrel.

Bro, for milk you can buy or make powderized milk Buying is self explainatory, but making it, you only need a food dehydrator to powderize your milk to then when needed add water

This makes sense but in terms of using these, i get for a good few months youd be eating from the garden. If you want to eat from it the rest of the year, digging it up every couple of weeks will negate the life of your stored food. You'd need a few of these at least

Great idea? It could, if hidden like you did with emergency supplies, you could put a rifle, like a .22 and ammo in there as well? And if I had your water sources I would be planting some Jerusalem artichokes or other wild self sustainable yet nutritious food sources near the banks of the stream that many people wouldn't recognize? There's a lot of herbs for medicinal uses that will grow wild as well? You have a very nice piece of land. Thank you for the video 👍

Looks like an adze to me. When you got it I was jealous as you rarely see an adze in the modern world. Very common bronze age design that continued in popularity through the middle ages and the enlightenment. Manufacturing and metallurgy advances brought about the lighter, more modern hoes and the adze lost popularity for hoeing, and mattocks overshadowed the adze for heavy digging. The adze was even used as a wood working tool for planking and shipbuilding. It came from an era when a farmer was fortunate to own even one metal implement, so the adze was a shovel, hoe, mattock, and axe all in one.

Note: Not saying "grub hoe" is an incorrect term for it, just that it looks like a classical adze.

Our minds can conjure up visions of 1883 or Game of Thrones, but we are aware that modern society has generally experienced a relatively comfortable existence. Realistically, there may be a significant reduction in the population from the outset.

How do we keep the walls of the barrel from collapsing? Also, I have had food pick up the flavor of pickles (or, other stuff) while stored - even after cleaning with baking soda. So, I've limited my items to non-food necessities. Thanks for everything you do.

"Are these potatoes or pickles?"

What about a cooler, since it's insulated

Do you need a decent airflow, to help keep it from molding?

Safe? Possibly. Secret? Not likely. There are tactical considerations to burying supplies at your residence. Too many to list here, however, I generally tell people to NOT bury supplies at their house or residence in SHTF events because then if you need to bug out in a true SHTF event you are leaving behind those supplies. In just a survival scenario this might work but in a true SHTF event, I always advise people to have a bug out route and on that route have several small supply dumps that you have secretly buried or concealed some how that you can quickly access on the move. Then whatever your bug out location is, have a large buried cache of food, water and ammo.

I'm not much of a commenter but I try to watch all your videos. I am curious about if you're going to line the barrel with anything to keep the pickle smell down or if you think you'll need a bit of insulation. Like newspaper?

🇦🇺😎👍I resubscribed again

What about putting an old tire around the lid. Seen someone bury a container in a box with a tire and some straw to keep water from freezing. They built a box around it too. Not sure if a good idea or not. Just got me thinking. I'm in Sw Central Iowa (Pop 110ish), we get stupid cold here in winter but in summer (also depends on if planting corn or beans close to town) sometimes it's not awful but when they have us surrounded by corn it gets a little sticky, still would rather deal with that than the cold. Today heat index here is 103° but air temp is 88° lol. It's all good. Have a nice breeze, chickens and ducks are handling it OK, wish had well water but.. my water bill suffers. Not including watering my gardens... been rainy off and on so hadn't really needed to. Anywhere my issue is our water table is about 2-3ft down so how would that effect things esp in winter?
