I've a friend that stopped by today, haven't seen him in a long time.
He said he recently installed one of these:

in his well. It's really what I've been looking for. He said that it's
true, his son can pump 5 gallons in about a minute. He also has the
hookup so that he can pressurize his house pressure tank in a short
term outage.

Anyone have any experience with this or something like it. I can stay
warm and cook if there is no power, but I have no way to get water
other than buckets from the creek. 1500 feet away. I really want to
address this and make my well more redundant.
