Trying to Make this Work... And my Fire Truck is BROKEN! 

Same. I started with VetRanch and Matt bringing his patients home to chill while he fixed the various Ranch stuff.

I second never getting rid of those but especially the one of Mark. I don't think he will ever take that out of his videos though considering Homemade Everything would probably be a multi million channel now so that's a what Matt keeps him on YT forever.

I've been here since the very first video. I hope he never ever takes that clip of Mark out. I stay until the end of every video. That way Mark will never be forgotten.

@@mdotn9 one of the few channels I watch to the very end every time

Mere laughing at how dumb the low rider is is the only reason I watch til the end.

even if the highest point is higher than the source, it will flow, once the air is cleared (syphon) - as long as the end point is lower than the source.

this

I came here to make this comment. Glad someone else saw this right away.

matts not worryed about anything freezing and bursting look at the water pump lol

Physics at work!

I can’t tell if you being sarcastic or not but the white tank would just always be mostly full

Yeah it wouldn’t be too hard to make it rain-fed

Science

Truckception🤯

😂

New shirt- “ gravity is free”

@@IraqVet0608 guess he didnt watch the video... he didnt want a pump.. lol

I am with you. Leave the pupe on the ground but then run a flex hose to the tank an the total head pressure will be the same but simpler run. Can hook to the pump too. That cable system will cause problems. Pipe sway in the wind.

@@mikeb9478 He's saying to flip the connections on the pump that's already on the truck so that it pulls water from the pipe and pumps it into the firetruck tank. It wouldn't be quick if he needed to refill the tank in an emergency, and he wouldn't be able to keep spraying as the tank refilled. I honestly don't see the point in refilling the truck tank with the pipe anyway. If he needs more than 500 gallons to put out a fire on the range, I'm thinking it's probably more than he could handle. And there's no point in using it to refill the truck tank in a non-emergency situation because you're just going to have to use the truck to refill the tank on the hill.

Just the way he plumbed the fire truck hurt me enough.

Tell Meredith, lol.

*Mere

Spending almost 30 years as a plumber/pipefitter, I feel your pain. Hahahaha

Lol, yes.

I figured it had water in there when it froze recently

@@mybackhurts7020 he said that was not the cause and it had been broke for a while so the recent cold snap would not have done it.

I was thinking pin some sheet metal or a section of tire between the cable and the tree trunk , that would help spread the pressure as well.

Agreed Liam

There are straps you can buy from Yankum Ropes called tree savers, that can be wrapped around a tree and then attached to a snatch block. Many You Tube recovery channels use them.

Dam tree huggers 🖕🖕🖕🖕

@@michiganengineer8621 there are special rubber mats for that

Isn't that essentially what he is doing, minus the tower? The tank sitting there, with a drain pipe to feed the faucet and the opening in the top of the tank to fill it? I guess a tower would raise it even more, giving him even more water pressure.

@@jiminauburn5073 And will look a whole lot cleaner with a lot less RedNeck engineering.

I was literally thinking the same exact thing the hole time he was making this setup lol

​@@MrPeterson74 and it would have way better flow since it cuts out 80% of the pipe to get to the faucet.

My family has an old hunting cabin in the woods on top of an artesian well. We pumped the water up the hill to a buried water tank while the generator ran and buried a pipe very similar to this back to the cabin. We finally redid the system a couple of years ago after it was working fine for over 50 years. We ended up using the same design but with simplified plumbing and modern materials. I'm not saying its the "right" way to do it, but I am saying that it's not the wrong way.

Yeah but costs another 1000bucks

​@@dylanzrim3635 how? He has the equipment to bury it?

NO !! If he raises the pipe up 10 ft from the ground by the truck . He would lose 10ft of PSI . About 4.5 PSI . Plus it would create a bunch of pipe that would not drain !!

These were my thoughts exactly.

Exactly my thought.

Was was to simple lol. My exact thought right on the side the shed solar panel up above the shed roof all you would need especially not using it daily !!! Way to simple. LOL 😂

I know his pocket was hurting after buying all that pvc 🤣

P.s. regardless of what you do. Ensure you have air flow at the tank or you will have hydro lock.

The whole point of him doing this as he said was because pumping out of a tank takes about 45 minutes to fill the tank on the Firetruck when it's empty. That's what he currently does. There's a pump on the fire truck that he uses to pull water from the rain water tank at the Range Armory.

Thanks I thought nobody was gonna say it

Lol most likely

Lol

😆

And those pipes !

The pavilion he wants to bring water to in the first place has a roof...

Our at least a roof like structure to fill that tank. I like the hut idea, would help keep sunlight off that tank to reduce algae growth in the tank. That pvc pipe might become brittle if not protected.

Yes because he needs a vent for the water to flow or it will gurgle like a milk jug so a gutter would let air into the system

@@offtheranch3 shut up

Pressurize the water tank.

Wrong on losing pressure at the 10ft up F-truck outlet , if goes to the ground at the base of the tree and up ! About 4.5 PSI . Plus all the water would stay in the 19 ft riser and all the pipe going along the ground and up the hill until the 10ft level of the outlet for the truck . Taking the pipe to the ground first is a loss in both regards .

He didn't want to mess up his nice new flat spot by using the Bobcat.

Black poly should be WAY cheaper, too.

@@victorsummers2283 Oh yeah. Less fittings, less joints, and if you buy a 150ft section it could easily extend the full length in one piece.

I like how he jumped out of the golf cart while it was still moving and just let it keep going til it stopped.

Just have the compressor so the tank can be kept at the range.

higher pressure but lower volume...

@@rackroff9279 yes, but when he is talking about a garden hose to put out a fire on the range… No reason he can’t up the pressure enough to accomplish that by starting out with the first 15 feet of drop at a 2 inch line then the next 15 feet at 1.5 and so on till he is down to a standard .75 with the normal volume you would have but now somewhere north of 40 psi. So he can actually use a nozzle with a little reach to put out a small fire without needing to stand on top of it with only a trickle out of the end of a hose or adding in some sort of pump that will need to be maintained.
