” One of my biggest problems will be that I am on a well and can’t store a great quantity of gas for the generator to run the well. “

Old fashioned manual pumps can be found easily in antique stores and flea markets - and they’re easy to repair and refurbish....

(It might be worth a 6-pack to have the local plumber come over on a Sunday afternoon and show ya how to install it..)

When planning for SHTF scenarios, plan for worst-case: no electricity, phones, gasoline, services available.. And don’t plan on going-it-alone — kick things around with a small (emphasize ‘small’) group of trusted neighbors...

JMO, of course

Is there an old fashioned manual pump that will work on a deep well?
