Frugal may be the money invested. The dedication you do is more valuable than money.

[leifkemp]

That's outstanding, my brotha! 💪🏼❤️

Also, I *love* your kittens!

[robbiewillford]

I'm sure it's a relief that it's done before the rain. Congratulations

[bobhutchison]

Thunder thundering as I finish watching this. Hope you get wawa juiced up. (That's water in language with my kids.) Looks like some good effective frugal effort. Love that camera and it's versatility.

Awesome 🤩. Hoping to see a rain video soon. Have a good day 👍

You are a true pioneer John. Such a credit to our growing independent movement. Great info.

[pedrohoracioaguilardiaz]

Congratulations. You are one of the model of men that will thrive in the coming so called catastrophes.

I bet it’s took a few hours to cut those railroad ties with that chainsaw👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you’re doing absolutely amazing👍🏻👊🏻

[maracohen]

Looking really good! I especially like your security!

[pvenzELP]

Good job, I know ciliche makes for hard digging . It's inspiring to see you accomplish your projects and let people know that its possible to live a simpler life .

[Herbalmanatee]

Awesome project. Be careful with the railroad ties. If they're treated I've read they can leach dangerous chemicals (creosote) into soil and water.

[cameronc]

Looks great you may wanna wrap those railroad ties they have a oil in them that May contaminate the water and pallets are treated as well The water from the top can Leach through, your Homestead looks awesome love your channel❤️🙏👍

About how long would you say it took u to dig that.

[pmatt]

10 gallons a day should cover you and your animals.

If a million more people do what you're doing right now, they'd probably help Lake Mead replenish itself.

[Laura-wnyy]

I don't know your plan, but just in case, I'll suggest pruning your trees from underneath, to leave a nice shade canopy, rather than from the top down.

I lived in the southeast part of Az and sitting outside one day I kept hearing an occasional electric "POP", turned out to be the end of the coax cable running from my CB antenna, it was disconnected from the cb and laying on the ground. I found out that the more dust in the air equaled more snap. I wish I was clever enough to come up with a sky-rake of some kind to harvest that static into something useful. Just a little food for thought. Love your channel.

How do you deal with overflow? Great video brw! I see noone else on youtube being this creative

[clintspringfield]

Do you use the cister for drinking water or just to water plants
