    Solar submersible well pump

    Our well is 165 ft deep, pump is sitting around 145ft. The pump is from Simple Pump. it was originally manual then we added a 24volt motor that is hooked up to batteries charged by a solar array. We pump into a 500 gallon storage tank and use a 24v booster pump to transfer to the pressure tank...

    Hand pump water well

    We bought a Simple Pump three years ago and we are very happy with it. It is the only pump we are using for the house (still working on finishing the inside). We just ordered the 24v motor which will run off of solar/batteries. It takes 17 pumps per gallon of water so we are ready for the...

    Challenge Accepted. We need common sense and compromise on gun violence.

    My wife wants the Hello Kitty AR-15. But she suggested we need background checks on anyone wanting to run for any office, including---credit check, citizenship (with birth certificate), delinquent tax info, etc. And they must pass a test on knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and be able to...

    IHOP @ 7708 NW Exp posted no weapons

    Our local feed store has recently put the no weapons sign at their place. We will no longer give them our business. We went into another store yesterday that had posted "no open carry" but conceal carry with proper license is ok. We will continue to give them our business. We will not do...

    simple and effective fire kits.

    Just like the lint mentioned, the important thing with char cloth is to make it out of 100% cotton. I use pieces of worn out 100% cotton T-shirts to make my char cloth out of.

    How long have you been without power in Oklahoma?

    For us it isn't just how long but how often. We seem to loose power almost every time the wind blows. The last time was a few weeks ago when that piddly little storm came through. Ours was out for 19.5 hours. There were only 97 customers affected in another okc area and that was our two blocks...

    Fire cupcakes

    We have been making our own fire starters for several years. We use cheap cupcake cups or even circles of newspaper with the sawdust. Instead of buying wax, we melt down the remains of old candles in a tin can and use that for the wax. We don't use a wick since we use them to start the wood...

    Hand Water Well Pumps

    We had our well drilled. It was done by Swinney & Sons out of Macomb Oklahoma. It cost around $3000 . Price depends on how far he has to travel. The well is 160' deep. We put a Simple hand pump with a 36" handle on the well. The cap we got with the pump does allow for a submersible pump as well...

    Water Storage

    Mine is a Simple Pump, it takes 16-17 pumps for 1 gallon. It is great exercise. I recommend the 3' handle. You can also get a 12v attachment that you can run off of battery or solar. Our well depth is around 150' .

    Remington 700 question

    My brother-in-law is not a hunter or gun enthusiast. I'm guessing he was advised by some of his work buddies. To me the 300 win mag is a bit overkill for whitetail (which is what my nephew wants to hunt). He just turned 17 and hasn't taken his hunters safety course yet. He just got interested in...

    Remington 700 question

    I loaned him a 12ga and a 20ga to try. He thought the 12ga kicked too much so he bought a 20ga for himself. I have enough bulk that the 12ga is no problem, but I wouldn't want to shoot the 300 win mag very much.

    Remington 700 question

    O.K. here is a question for those of you that have kept up with more modern designs of rifles. My brother-in-law bought a Remington 700 for my nephew. It is chambered for 300 win mag. He claims that it will soot other, smaller rounds as well. I have been around guns for 40+ years and did not...
