How To Find Natural Spring Water

hey what's up guys welcome back to thevigilance elite channel I'm Shawn Ryan I know a lot of you guys are stuck insideright now and doing the social distancing and self isolation thing andI know how bad that sucks just living a little condo in Palm BeachCounty Florida until I

got tired of living in a little bitty condo in themiddle of Palm Beach County Florida and moved out to the middle of nowhere inTennessee so I figured I'd just kind of show you guys what I got going on hereand look at some creeks let's roll so some of

you guys might remember thisspot from previous videos I've done quite a few videos right here in frontof this little waterfall and so basically this Creek is fed by naturalsprings popping up all over the place so there's a whole ton of them around hereand so I'm gonna kind of

show you guys what they look like let's go check themout so came up here just to get kind of aaerial shot the limited equipment we have but basically what I'm looking forwater one of the first things I look for is a ravineso like this Creek down here sits

at the bottom of a ravine so the land is kindof doing this coming down to a V which pushes all the water down obviouslygravity and then all these fresh Springs are kind of popping out of thesehillsides and rippling down to that Creek so just wanted to give you

guys alittle view from up high but let's go down and check it out so we did some filming down hereyesterday I've never seen this part of the property before and just lookingaround here I was able to pick out like five different Springs that are all dumpit in here

so that like I said earlier this Creek is all all these creeksaround here our spring fed and and also water runoff fed because we're down in aravine right now but we got a spring here this is coming right out of theground we got a spring here that's coming

outof the ground we got one over here one up on the ridgeline and another one over on the ridge line and I'll show you a couple of thesebut some things that I look for and I'm no expert but I'm learning is a lot oftimes if you see something

like this right herea leaf patch that's wet and nothing is wet around it and nothing's what aboveit well you can bet that's probably spring water coming right out of theground there so this one over here is a slow trickle so it's really easy to seeI'll show you guys

what I'm talking about but as you can see right here this isdoing a slow trickle and here we have the leaves covering it and they're allwet nothing's coming down from up top so if I move all these like that you can see it's coming right outside ofthis cliff

face so this is reclassify these Springs and I believe it's eightdifferent classifications and this is a small oneobviously they say something about the size of a pinhole can produce 200gallons of water and a 24-hour period and some of the bigger Springs like thebiggest one I think produces sixty

nine point four million gallons of water in a24-hour period so you know these things are like a dime a dozen around herethey're literally everywhere so you just got to kind of know what you're lookingfor but yeah this is a small one and hundreds of these things all over

theplace make up this Creek I'm what you see on my videos so then we got another one right overhere this was the one that was just right behind me so walk over here I'llshow you this it's kind of a more of a seep but so this right here

as you can see likeall the leaves are dry above this and this is coming this is just seepingright out of the ground here and you know this is pretty cool I mean waterjust doesn't really get much more pure than this coming right out of the earth so we've

been right over here did you kind of like get your eyestrained for this stuff there's another one right here which that we didn't evensee this one earlier so this would be like number six within I don't know 50yard radius so come over here right here if there's water

coming outof this down at the bottom here right there's nowhere for this water to evenbe coming from other than from the ground because the streams going thisway so just another spring so right here this is another one so Idon't know if you can see this but like up

top all these leaves are completelydry and then right here you see like a nice trail that goes down to the creekwhich is about 25 yards away but once again all this stuff it's coming rightout of the ground and these little camera or what the hell you call thembut

they're like little reserves under the ground and yeah so there's a snakejust kidding so a lot of people ask Li you know how Iknow the water is clean and and I still filter it to be honest with it when Idrink it but one way you can tell because

a lot of people worry about youknow what this came out of a cave which a lot of springs do come out of a cavewell bats live in caves and bats poop in caves so but one way you can tell howclean this water is is I don't know if

you can see it right now but all thesesnails here they only live and like the cleanest ofwater so you can see all these trails that are kind of going through the sandand through the rocks and stuff and then all of these little black dots down hereare all little

snails so I'll just reach down and grab one real quick but there'slike thousands of these down there and these do not live in polluted water sothere's a good chance pretty clean here but anyways it's not a little fat for itall right there it is so that's pretty much

how I go lookingfor water and creeks and Springs hope you guys got a little something out ofthat even if it's just a little escape but one of my primary things when wemoved up here from our little condo in South Florida was I had to have a freshwater source

and it drove my wife absolutely insane because I was notgonna budge on it but you know what now I never have to worry about a watersource again and not only that but it's super relaxing to sit back here and justlisten to that Creek well so anyways if you're

looking at getting out of thecity getting out in the country and slowing things down a little bit I cantell you what it's one of the best decisions I've ever made so alright stayhealthy I'll see you guys soon
