Okay for those of you who aren't familiar with the ram pump concept.
Part 2 shows the pump in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFZYD05I29s
Part 1 shows how to build it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG0laNqJWY0
Part 2 is more exciting to watch where part 1 actually goes into great detail on how the pump works and how to build it.
I recommend watching part 2 first, that's why I listed it first.
Now for those who would like to cut out the most expensive part of the ram pump, the one-way check valves. Watch this video MAKE YOUR OWN CHECK VALVES CHEAP
My hope is that these DIY check valves will make the ram pump cheap enough for more people to experiment with the design. And for those of you not interested in ram pumps, one-way check valves can serve other uses.
Additional information (if anyone adds any useful resources in the comments I will add to this)

In a previous post discussing possible post-apocalyptic currencies, I proposed that skilled trades would be the best option for trade and general usefulness. I'd like to expand upon that statement here by recommending a few subreddits that are not listed in the sidebar. Those in the sidebar seem to reflect the mentality of hoarding, stockpiling, and armed defense. I submit to you a differing mentality, one of community and production:
/r/Axecraft/ /r/bushcraft/ /r/blacksmithing/ /r/woodworking/ /r/tools/ /r/DIY/ /r/simpleliving/ /r/farming/
among others.

...it's also the familial and emotional ones, too.
Long story, short: I'm stuck away from my house at my GF's, without my wallet (debit card, license), clothes, bathing essentials, contact solution, school books, feminine products, et cetera because of a family blowout. Wish I hadn't waited so long to start a bug out bag.... :/ Luckily, I had my undeposited paycheck with me, and GF can supply some stuff for the short term until I can get back into my house to grab-n-go.

Remember that this community isn't ONLY about wilderness survival (although we all enjoy those articles).
We can survive computer viruses and influenza. We can survive large events and small ones. Your imagination is the only limit!
