welcome dr. Steve Rob reviews you see I got the postal logger on the back there we're gonna go
down by my little bit of a kind of a pond I have down there I think I can hit water with this let's
go down there and we're gonna see if we can punch a hole down four feet don't provide us enough of
a shallow L to actually have enough water for my camp so let's go down there and let's start
digging well that's the spot right there I figure I'm gonna go now as you could see over there yeah
it's a little bit of a pond kind of a thing here and I'm figuring if I punch a hole down right
there I have a good chance of connecting with all these Springs because there's a whole bunch
of this is all spring fed here there is no river here this is all spring fed so I'm hoping I can
punch a hole right there and hit water so I'll turn the camera on and we'll see what we can do
okay guys let's just take a look down and see as you can see I hit water and it looks like it's
about well if you can see off the sides there I got the flashlight on there and you could see
there is some movement there like you know so I'm down about three feet there and the water
is right at the bottom so I don't know if it's gonna start filling up or what so I'm going to
wait a bit and I might try another spot to see if it's any better but so far that's looking
promising I think so anyways if I can show you there yeah that's looking pretty promising there
I hit some water anyways but I'm just trying to see whether it's actually you could see
the water is moving right so it's just gonna fill up I don't know we'll have to wait well
I've been very busy I tried a bunch of holes I tried punching some holes in here guys I'm
hitting nothing but rock and I'll just show you here like this is all just a big rock oak cup
so this outcrop comes down here and I'm hitting nothing but rock all the way into here and this
hole here yeah the water hasn't gone no more than that and it's solid rock on the bottom
so I came over here and I got my loppers and I cut myself out a spot right there and you can
see right there that's where it's going so I'll show you how this is going to operate and I got
four bags of pea gravel I'm gonna stuff that in there with the pea gravel let's get to her
I'll put a link down below so you can see the whole series starting
off in the beginning break to the end so let's see how far this goes in and I can
hear the water going in there right now and that tube is filling with water so
hopefully it'll stay down there once it gets enough water in and then I can put the pea
gravel around it okay that's pretty good right there now she's moving around a bit
there's number one I'm just going to stuff that fault do you want to know
what kind of what the gravel looks like that's pretty much it right
there just pea gravel you want to try and get it all the way around
there's bag number two okay
Dave number three I'm going for one more cuz that's all I brought
okay now all I'm gonna do you just straight this okay you know what the water is right
here great at the dog okay now I'm gonna show you something real slick okay so I
got my little pump and I got some hose and I am gonna pump that water right out of there
and I'm just gonna put this down the shaft of the shallow well and I'll show you this little
hand pump 15 gallons per minute this will pump if you can pump that fast I usually can so how
much water is in this tube well let's start pumping and let's see if we can pump it till
it goes clear okay here's the setup right here well let's just see we start pumping oh
man is that muddy or what hey maybe sure wouldn't want to use your good pump for pumping this water
okay I'll tell you what I'll keep pumping and I'll bring you back okay I've pumped
this thing out three times now let's see if it looks any better than the first time okay
so what am I gonna do here well as you can see well I put the cap on it and the gravel down on
the bottom that's going to take a while for it to actually clear up as it you know the water
permeates right straight through it down to the you know the core so I'm gonna have to do this
many many many times use guys stay tuned it's going to be interesting in the future and we're
gonna see the next part hopefully the water is pumping clear these guys haven't seen this
channel before you're welcome to come back again another adventure up in Northern Ontario Cheers
you
