DIY Fire Pit on Remote Off-Grid Land

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Little by little we're converting this neglected property into a home. Nothing beats a little campfire at night, listening to the sounds of nature, enjoying life. It's a great escape from the craziness we all experience today!

[@mrmacgregorshomestead233]

What was the powdered ingredients that you mixed in the wheelbarrow? Ty. Looks fantastic! Great job!

[@rickdeboer5649]

@@mrmacgregorshomestead233 Probably cement, to lock the flat tiles in place. Therefore the water afterwards

[@malaka.666]

You can't or shouldn't be lighting fires at this time of the year dude. Very dangerous and forbidden by the Portuguese law. Looks pretty good tho 👌

[@TheDutchFarmer]

@@malaka.666 Maybe filmed it outside of fire season;) Believe me... we're not risking anything with our kids, and the wider community. We've seen what forest fires are capable of. It's not pretty!

[@janus878]

Es ist so wundervoll euch zuzusehen, wie liebevoll und begabt ihr euer neues zu Hause schafft! Ich wünsche euch weiterhin viel , viel Glück😍

[@jessicagaige7952]

Dude, the amount of work you put in every day is so impressive! But what a life to lead! Loving following along, and seeing you wife, kids, and pup along the way.

[@annapesceanscaia1598]

At least one video with remunerated pleasure at the end of the day. Smart idea about patio, with feminine touch. Best wishes.

[@darinbennett3638]

Moreno...you are an artist and an implementor. Your market gardens always looked beautiful and now it's fun to watch you put that creativity and hard work into the homestead projects. As always...happy for you and proud of you and your family for the work you're doing restoring this neglected piece of property. You are being great stewards of the land. (Kentucky, USA)

[@aishancampbell8908]

It’s absolutely a stunning job you and your family had done! Beautiful and creative space belongs to you!

[@Marco-er4gm]

Impressive work, well done. I would like to take this opportunity to say that one of the reasons why people do not buy this type of property for a living is due to fires. The tragedies that occurred in recent years in this region are still very vivid in memory. Be careful with fire, especially in times of extreme heat.

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Hi Marco. Indeed! It will be mostly for the colder months of the year! No need for a fire when it's 40 degrees Celsius!!

[@gabygaedecke2411]

I am really enjoying watching your progress. I also want to compliment you on the photography and editing, in addition to all the hard manual labour. What a great dream, and what determination, to make it come true!

[@justgivemethetruth]

Your fire pit is so simple and naturally beautiful, it looks like a very comfortable place to hang out. Great video. I was thinking that you must have gathered all that stone from your property, but wherever it came from it looks beautiful.

[@erdvarkengineering6378]

Your hard work pays of. What a night view from the farm.

[@101life9]

What a natural !! A builder. A gardener. Beautiful.

[@billytingen3567]

Thanks for sharing. This was a beautiful, relaxing and inspiring video. Your work is quite stunning and I'm sure you will get many more relaxing days and nights of Bliss from your creation. Cheers!!!!

[@seanmckinleylandscaping6358]

As someone who does this for a living you did a very good job lovely natural stone blending in with its surroundings!

[@sarab3960]

I love seeing people coming to my country and regenerate unpopulated areas. What I think is troubling is the complete disregard for building regulations and fire prevention in these remote areas. Best of luck with your project

[@marcusdekker]

Ah, but there are fire regulations in Portugal; dont burn the forrest, its forbidden!!! And there are building regulations; you just have to bribe the right corrupt official and locals.

[@nielsf]

That circle of sand and stone around the fire seems pretty safe and pretty large. Especially since the fire itself is in a pit, both ON stone and SURROUNDED BY stone.

[@jodieziegler1061]

That is so awesome! We want to do a fire pit too but I doubt it will look that good. Well done to you both you did an amazing job 😊👏

[@marjahermans2443]

Heel veel fijne momenten gewenst bij jullie vuurtje. Het is geweldig wat jullie starten.

[@mariomamede4802]

really nice job! enjoy yourselves in these hot summer nights!...and in winter too!

[@roelienrudijansevanrensbur4172]

Awesome...was sitting right next to you at the fire pit nothing that makes me feel more calm than a fire:-) thnx for sharing

[@AshleyWragg]

Always looking forward to your next video in this series!

[@jeantienhelder4534]

Oooh zalig! Mijn vriend en ik kijken je videos regelmatig als inspiratie voor onze eigen homestead op het Franse platteland en dit is een goeie voor onze toekomstige kampvuurplaats😁 Sterkte met jullie toekomstige projecten! Heel erg gaaf allemaal:D

[@solounpoquito9347]

Very nice piece of work, you guys have a lot of patience and that is going to take you very far, thanks for sharing.

[@seangotts6470]

absolutley perfect layering for the flag stones i see so many ppl who dont have a clue .. i saw one guy put compo onto a soil base and then flag it ... all i thought was thats gonna make a nice pool then it all sinks ...

[@Skattie]

We love you Dutch farmer and wife, my oupa is Dutch

[@bluelilly22222]

Amazing video ❤👌👍it's more beautiful than a 7star beach house resorts ❤

[@tiagomoreira4928]

Welcome to Portugal. I am a devote follower and since September we are trying to the same idea in Azores - Portugal. Let me just give you an advice. Be very careful with the forest fires.

[@luiscarlosagudelo1124]

Los felicito, como familia se unen y logran una obra tan hermosa y el disfrute de los construido es aun mayor....Que grato aprender de ustedes y ver como cambia la finca.

[@etiennedejager2956]

Great idea! Reminds me of the bomas I grew up with in Namibia as a child. And how cute is that little red truck of yours! :)

[@sundaym.simpungwe]

Wow... You guys are an inspiration

[@tannercorley3373]

Love the work. If it's not too much do you think you could add some narration in the videos? I know we all would love to hear your ideas for the future or reflections on the past! Thanks for your content!

Let me tell you a secret about your journey. We like to watch everything you post, it’s awesome, but sometimes, it’s awesome not to put any background music in & just let us hear what you are doing.I I am loving what you are doing.

[@raeveth]

Looks fab! Probably wd have sown creeping thyme in between the stones if I'd done it

[@TheDutchFarmer]

Thanks! That's definitely the goal. Were not able to get the plants in time to establish themselves to survive the hot summer. Maybe we'll do this in October!

[@maryfisher2334]

so beautiful:) cheers!

[@antoniocarmelo4183]

Even so... During the summer you should not make any fire. Too dangerous...

[@mariannek6449]

Gorgeous! What was the combination of sand substance did you use to fill in between the flagstone?

[@geartsjedulac1245]

Nice! 👌🏼

[@michaelg7607]

Nice.

[@victorgscardoso]

Great design and execution! Can you tell roughly what are the base dimensions of the fire pit (immer diameter and depth)?

[@nataliaghidirim1655]

amazing))) so beatiful yet doable. kindly share you checklest u proposed in previous one. thank you

[@loo836]

Hello! How many days did it take you to complete this project? It's very clean, in any case!

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Wow , what an undertaking , looks great! Since the video shows it only took about 10 minutes do you think you could do one for me? ; )

[@gokulyogajivana8465]

Great work. What is the mixture at 9:26 and how does it stay dry when you add water?

[@AlexAlex-gj4jd]

It looks fantastic! I love the colors of the stone. Is it slate or something else? I'd love to know the dimensions of the inner and outer circles please! Thanks! 🔥

MOOI! Ik moet zo'n soort terras opnieuw voegen. Welk cement mengsel hebben jullie gebruikt? En ging dat er droog op?

[@danmullett8894]

hello dutch farmer, i was hoping if i asked really nicely you might answer a question of mine or point me in the direction of some good research. i have a young family and have been looking at portugal to move to also create a tangible legacy for them. My only concern is that of the climate, i understand with good planning and land management these things can be made resilient on a micro level. Do you have any insight on the longer term outlook for the climate on the macro level in your area. ie confident that there is going to be enough annual rainfall for it not to turn into a proper desert. or is it a case of having a lot of faith in the systems you create. i understand you must be busy man, but any of your thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated. thanking you.

[@lorissupportguides]

how will you live on this land? isnt it illegal in portugal to live more than 6 months a in a movable home without a building permit? How does this land have a building permit

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Will you build a house before winter?

[@gazanikkirakosian7021]

How many meters is the diameter of the circle

[@irdenadi]

you need shovel with longer handle..

[@augustoserrano]

making fires is completely forbiden at this time of year

[@perfectstranger232]

Use gloves when working with cement or you can burn you hands ;( :)

[@marcusdekker]

and all that on a rented piece of land.........what is your security if the landowner doesn't want to prolong the rent after, say, 5 years, after you've done all the heavy groundwork, or some official comes and tells you to clear of (because of some regulation you didn't know about, or because you got a verbal agreement with people you trusted and they have gotten back on their word). This has all happened to me in lovely Portugal after i build my restaurant and active holiday location.

[@marcusdekker]

@telegram name👉 TheDutchFarmer Lol, ik zag net, op een eerdere video van je , dat je het land wel gekocht hebt, so i stand corrected. Flink wat vuur by jullie in de buurt momenteel, nooit leuk, sterkte voor jou en je familie.

[@gazanikkirakosian7021]

what is the diameter of a circle in meters ?
