Incredible Self-Reliant Living on a Remote Island (full tour)

[@OTTeacher]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any happier horses! Lovely

[@mbuckley3828]

Yeah, those horses when on the beach, you could see the thought bubbles above their heads: Best Humans EVER!!!

[@peggyboatman6826]

Horse paradise

[@DjinnRummy]

Seriously

Gifted Camerawork. 😺😺😺

[@Thomas-y3w]

Thats insane. will be surprised if they are not booked out for the next decade after this episode. Beautiful.

[@srice6231]

I didn't want this to end! What a glorious spot with lovely people!

[@matt1544zxc3]

would love to spend a week (or month) there!

[@ranchgal3006]

Omg! Bliss! Heaven on earth! Thank you!

[@MichaelNNY]

This really was one of the best videos they have ever done.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

Indeed.

[@TheAtma50]

I watched this episode 3 times because it's so beautiful. A shame I can only like it once ! Who are the 55 that disliked it and what planet are they from ? Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Ive been told it some weird youtube algorithm thing, if you watch carefully the first ones will turn up really quickly, even before anybodys had a chance to watch the whole vid. I too find it impossible to believe theres anybody so soul less that they could dislike this.

[@meondrone7224]

They’re all the jealous people

[@williammorgan7769]

About 500 people live on the island and they don’t like outsiders.

[@davids.9707]

So this is what Paradise looks like. Beautiful!

[@larryhampton9069]

Glad to see Dior's video on her channel that the family is safe, but sad that they lost everything here on the island. Prayers for the Sheen's.

[@LeonLucena]

this could be an 1 hour long documentary, still, wouldn't be enough

[@yvelf]

EXACTLY!!!

[@michaelwaddeington5307]

This is one of the best, thanks. Mike

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

"I am left wanting"..... is that an old english saying??

[@Marharsab88]

I completely agree with this. I could’ve watched it for hours.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

It like the fantasy island. I could live there forever.

[@jarmis777]

This place is so magical and idyllic!!! The people and the animals all have it made! Never seen horses display joy in this way. I would too if I were them.

[@joeypilewsky1148]

Really cool people, the daughter is a little cutie with lots of charisma!

[@karlklein2966]

@Peter Ponomarenko She noticed him too, it was mutual.

[@VanisleNSX]

@Peter Ponomarenko Meah, I don't think so. She and Jason were just been polite to one and other as one would expect. Smiling and being polite doesn't have to always be considered flirting etc.

[@radioclash84]

@@VanisleNSX umm if you were stuck in that island with your old parents anyone average would look like Johnn Depp

[@WorldChaseTag]

Well, that was probably the nicest video I've seen in the last few months / years.

[@Penitta2011]

You're absolutely right! This family looks like they're the happiest people on earth and I love it! 🙌 😍

Little bad news about the family and there home: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbGhZStqtqihM0

[@drs_888]

Tris and Dave are the most amazing couple you will ever meet. And beautiful Dior… a real life Moana, scaling trees in bare feet with a machete in her mouth! This albeit wonderful video doesn’t scratch the surface of what Dave has built there. Truly remarkable family not just talking about “eco” and conservation but demonstrating that you can go all-out like they have and still live with happiness, variety, vitality and style. Go there if you have the chance. Aside from The Barn, being guided by them swimming with Tonga’s whales is their thing… Tris and Dior are actually sea mammals; to witness them in the water with the wildlife around them is breathtaking :) And by the way, if all that weren’t enough, Dave is an ex champion windsurfer and exceptional waterman!

[@vitatang904]

U mean a blond moana 😂🤙🏽

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

I REALLY enjoyed that glimpse into their life. A life well away from all the craziness and nothing short of paradise.

[@kenhiett5266]

One of those days that will be indelibly imprinted on your memory. Thanks for sharing.

[@Incognacious]

Love that you ended up in my native Tonga so we can see all these beatiful places and people

[@Lesminster]

Seeing horses feeling so comfortable to just roll on the beach carelessly feels great.

[@johnjohn3668]

The locals there make a good dish out of horses, sorry but I felt like saying that 😂

[@markgumprecht2295]

Life beyond the American dream, using their brains and skills to live a happy, natural life! Amazing video! What an inviting place.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Seeing the horses roll in the sand, priceless no one in the world could copy seeing horses eating coconuts who knew horses liked coconuts they do know. What an amazing journey you've had! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

[@highbornleek367]

These guys are like a modern Swiss Family Robinson! This is something that I think I'd like to do one day.

[@stankythecat6735]

I’m rethinking my life choices after watching this

[@DonOmarRamiro]

I know that feel, mate...

[@barbaradecker1745]

You and me both!

[@bondy0075]

Me too... with the world as it is now , the choices after Covid are endless ( life is what you make it ) it's not a dress rehearsal 👍🇭🇲 I think it's certainly a great time to revaluate life for a better way of living and appreciation. Stay safe and well everyone greetings from an Australian in the south of Italy 🇮🇹👍❤️ Wendy Ciao.

Reaching into the twilight of my life and realize I took a wrong turn somewhere and missed the opportunity of living in paradise

[@JohnHMoore]

No sh*t!

[@junkim1884]

For some preppers this is a perfect haven with all the natural ingredients of life sustenance. May this be an inspiration for those who wish to leave large cities and move out, this is cool for a safe place to live in and have peace of mind. May God bless you all.

[@xpatsteve]

I'm sure I've said this before but, you meet the most amazing people. Thanks so much for sharing their stories!

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

Watching the horses in the ocean and then coming out and rolling around was the best thing I have seen in ages!! Thank you for sharing :)

[@louannad1]

Just woke up this morning in Kansas City and ran to the computer to open my KZbin to see your latest video. OMG!!! You guys complete me. LOL Can't help but love your life. As an older citizen of the world I love how easy off grid living looks. Healthy and happy people. B-52's call you happy shinny people. Thank you so much for sharing all your experiences with the rest of us. God Bless you please stay safe.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Well when you live on a remote island, you work with what you've got to make ends meet. And they are living a healthy lifestyle so good for them. Love that they have guava, guava is a staple of the Latino world. I use guava to make pastelitos (Cuban pastries) with cheese And yes, you can eat turmeric leaves. Used a lot in Thai, Indian, and Malay cuisine

[@mrtobyisking1]

Couldn't get enough of this one! Didn't want it to stop! I need an Island in my life, time to sell up and go. One of the best yet, thanks. :)

[@MrJohnBos]

Best episode ever. Spectacular! It is humbling to see how little one needs to sustain a healthy lifestyle and how wasteful most modern life is. Add a little micro brewery and life is great. Thank you for this video window into how others live off the grid. My next step is to donate to your channel. Bloody well done!

[@christopherbonner5059]

This is my favorite film you've made so far. Thank you.

[@ericwhalen2935]

The horses on the beach was just amazing.

[@yvelf]

Every vid from the Wynns just makes me wanna get a bigger sailboat and just sail into the sunset! The level of happiness in every vid is amazing! Bless you guys for making my Sundays happier!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Those horses on the beach are living the life, they remind me of the pigs living on a cay in the Bahamas

[@positivevibes2459]

This looks like 😇 heaven and those horses and the healthiest and happiest horses, I have ever seen!!

[@gmanwaseverywhere2104]

THIS, has to be my favorite episode of yours to date. Simply 23.21 minutes of enjoyment. Thank you SO much.

[@captpeady2176]

One day I saw someone walking down the beach with only one shoe, so I asked, Oh did you loose your shoe, they said- No I found one.

[@user-dg7sy8cz3b]

Priceless!

[@bondy0075]

True story...I lost one shoe last summer at the beach 🏖️ to my surprise the next day it returned.😂🤣👍🇭🇲

[@mluiga]

What a tragedy to hear that the house, and everything else they built for so many years, is all gone after the eruption tsunami. Absolutely heartbraking. ❤

[@denisefarrell5549]

What a paradise! I love that they upcycle everything. My dream live, climate and house. Well done Wynn's. Thanks

[@mvm3897]

Wow....what a magical place. Seing those horses role in the sand put a smile on my face.

I didn’t want this video to end 😩 love that they’re living off the land. Simple lifestyle yet so rich. Malo ‘aupito for sharing!

[@lowellmccormick6991]

I wish we all could be as happy as those horses. Mandala and this place look like two great places to be for a visit or an extended quarantine. Thanks for giving places like this exposure.

All of this family's hard work, self reliance, and resourcefulness has manifested into an incredible island paradise home! Soooo AHHHHSOME!! Talk about a healthy life... full on connection with the Earth, really alive & fresh food, and active lifestyle. AND THEN THE HORSES.... watching them walk into the ocean and then roll and play on the sand... total WONDERMENT!! Loved this video. It is a beautiful film portrait of the Sheen family in the Kingdom of Tonga.

It's just magical and soothing and a perfect sense of community with nature. Thanks.

Howdy from Houston. You guys surely paid your dues to earn this time in paradise. The horses rolling on the beach was hilarious. Your vids continue to improve. Keep up the great work.

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Interesting family and stunning paradise. I always admire and am in awe of people that have the courage and tenacity to choose a different path than what is considered conventional and make it work. I'm curious about how they deal with medical issues for themselves and their animals. Doctor? Vet? It will also be interesting to see what path the daughter will choose as she gets older. As a young person she may get to a point where she wants to explore a bit. She'll certainly be very self-sufficient no matter where she goes or chooses to do.
