Spring work
I rode on up to finish off the spring I was tapping around noon today.
I only had a little work to do to finish off this spring tap and today I brought up my flashlight so I could see what was going on in the hole as it was dark in there. I got the outlet pipe installed. I was shooting video clips to make another spring tapping video for YouTube so I needed the light for that too.
Rock it
I installed the stainless steel kitchen strainer and started to fill the hole up with rocks.
My camera’s night vision works pretty good too. I’ve had this camera for years and just discovered the night shot button.
660 gallons a day
I measured the spring’s output and there was about a half gallon every minute which comes out to about 660 gallons a day.
I threw some leaves and forest debris over the whole thing to finish it off. I’ll put some black paint on the white pipe eventually to make it blend into the forest better.
Drink of Water Spring video is here
This is a detailed video of how I tap a spring.
Trail cam shots
On the way home I picked up a trail cam card.
This bobcat came by in the day while I was down below working on the spring the other day.
And this fox has been coming by every night. It stopped to eat an apple core I throw out after eating the apple.
I’ll be working on putting the YouTube video together for this spring. Spring tapping videos are my most popular videos on YouTube.
Nice day.
Yes for more water and cool to catch a bobcat.
I agree with Nancy about the number of springs. That is a lot of water you are unkind through all of those pipes. Love the countryside.
I’m surprised at the number of springs you have set up. I never thought there was that much water around there. Love the game cam pics!!
