DIY: Build a Bullet Bucket to Access Water in Your Well Manually

I have a well on my property. I was told it is a 300 ft perforated well. I know nothing of wells except that it is going to be about $1200 to put a pump, pressure tank, and switch on, in addition to having to build a pump house. Without power on my property yet, I am waiting to install the well pump. I hate having to go to town to fill up water containers, so my ever-so-clever neighbor, Terry, told me about his bullet bucket, aka torpedo bucket.
