the one thing I have never figured out how to do effectively year round, getting water out of my drilled well.

How deep is your well?

Depends on how deep your well is. Two options, produce electricity for the pump or build a manual pump.

If you don’t have a generator that you can use to run your well pump, get a rocket bucket.

Some are made sturdy enough that you could use them a lot before they wear out. These are designed to fit inside existing wells that have been drilled, and manually bring up the water in the bucket.

If your well is around 75’ deep there is a solar powered little pump called Neemo or something like that. If your well is 40’ deep or less, a pitcher pump or hand pump works very nicely. If your well is deep deep, darned.

You can attach a hand pump to the faucet closest to your pump and get water from your well. I have done it and it became part of our prepping a long time ago.
