Ever seen one of these? A hand pump machine that gets 5 gallons of water in just 10 strokes. It uses a windmill pump system. not on the market yet.

Not sure when, but it won't be soon enough for me.

Yes, there are few good hand pumps on the market and I know of about three on the market, but let's face reality here about a "Long Emergency."
How long is an emergency or common hand pump going to last during a long emergency?
How many gallons of water is a family going to need per day during a long emergency?
Will the hand pump provide the volumes of water you will need during a long emergency?
Are you going to wear yourself out providing the volumes of water you need from the hand pump?
How much time are you going to have to spend pumping water with an emergency or common hand pump to get the gallons of water you need for the entire family, garden, livestock?
What if you water well is deep and the hand pump is too hard to use to get the water you need daily during a long emergency?
Is the hand pump going to provide the water you need during a long emergency?
Did you know: One popular hand pump brand states that it takes a 200-pound, 6-foot tall man stroking 60 times a minute to pump the maximum water quantity with their hand pumps, and the maximum out of their best pump is 4.5-5 gallons.
