Man.
This goes against my natural predilection, but hire someone to do that.
I don't see you being able to twist a 4-inch pipe as a drill by hand any
farther than a few feet, unless it's very, very loose soil. Then you
have to be either very lucky, or very exact in where you land the
output. And that's assuming you find a way to get the pipe segments to
hold together as you add new ones.
On the other hand, what's the worse that happens? It's only dirt!
