first of all use hand pump.

 

There is a creek running by about a city block away from the house if I go the road way.  For stealth I would go the back way.  Not fun to carry water very far but at least its always there.  Could use an atv or garden cart or back pack for most stealth.  In winter the yard would be full of snow to melt.  We get so much we need to shovel the roof off but inlaws always used the hand pump even in winter just made sure everyone kept handle in right position.

I am surprised so many people here had water on property.  We also have springs where water is clear and doesn’t need to be treated.  Nearest one is about a mile or two away.  Woud be harder to get there especially in winter when road is closed.  Wouldn’t want to try snowshoeing from there with water on my back, but there are other sources.
