You know this guy making the video actually lives in New Hampshire on a 60-acre lot with a large mountain view, so it could maybe be somewhere close to Hanover, NH or somewhere in south West NH or somewhere which suggests the rocky NH granite soil is actually doable for a sledge hammer, shallow well.
Supposedly, a depth down to 32' deep is the deepest that a pitcher pump, or 1/2-hp, 3/4-hp motorized pump will work to draw up water due to the physical properties of water viscosity is what I have read.
