SLOW LIVING - FAMILY lives ISOLATED LIFE

Eva and her family live an isolated life on the remote island of Stóra Dímun, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. While they are geographically isolated, they never feel lonely.
'Loneliness is not dependent on if you are alone or have people around you. It's a feeling you have inside.' - Eva úr Dímun
For Eva it's the small things, those small good moments, that are important in life.

They need to take time to stop and enjoy nature and things around them to calm them down.

[@nlcrme]

Even when the cows start mooing in unison when you are trying to take a nap or get to sleep it is like a lullaby. I have such wonderful memories of spending all my summers on my Aunt and Uncles farm. We had everything: Cows, Horses, Sheep, Goats, dogs, cats, birds, deer out in the woods, we fished in our pond and had well water. We also had a massive garden where we grew our own vegetables and shared with all our neighbors which were all a few miles away from us, but they always came over to work the land. We did it together and we all ate together and had the most wholesome and wonderful life. I learned to drive an old Ford Truck when I was 10 years old on the farm and all the neighbors said that it was the perfect age to learn..giggles. We all rode our horses and had picnics by the pond or lake...we never once thought anything about sunscreen probably because we all had so much dirt on our faces from hard work. On Sunday's we would all go to church, most of us wearing our overalls and the girls in jeans or sundresses. We all had fried chicken, potato salad, apples pies made from our apple trees (an applesauce of course) and all kinds of pies and green beans and corn on the cob. Let's just say that a meal like that tastes so amazing after a hard days work on the farm. Your comment meant a lot to me because when summer was over and I was back in the city I could hardly stand the noise from the cars and the neighbors. Once you have enjoyed a whole summer of animals, family, gardening and fishing, etc. it is hard to come back to the city. When I retire I hope to live where there is a lot of beautiful nature around me.

[@MrHellfinger]

@@hariseldon3786 Why is it selfish to live on that island, and more to point, why do you feel that this was presented as being 'virtuous'? They obviously have some sort of off-island income and supplement their food by producing locally. This is no different than living off of the road system in some place like an isolated Alaskan village. In ancient times, famine and death were common in these villages too. Much the same in villages around the world at different points in history that now benefit from better technology and transportation infrastructure to allow for living in such places better than generations prior. She lives in a multi-generation family location, that alone seems like justification for living in hard conditions as they do. Much like a family still living in their traditional village in Alaska. What is sad is your judgement of this lady and her family based on your own societal and cultural biases. Her children will be fine without your sanctimonious 'concern' for their well being.

@illuminOz The island has a regular helicopter service twice a week. In the part of the world where this island is located, there are services provided for the citizens, so you don't have to own your own helicopter (or pay your medical bills), since those costs are shared by everyone through taxes. It works pretty neatly.

[@ktb183]

@illuminOz Sure, but you see, if people and companies share the cost, i.e. the way it is done in Northern Europe, it works very well, as opposed to the US, where everyone has to fend for themselves.

[@ktb183]

@illuminOz Yes, I must be naive. I am Scandinavian, so I know the system;) As you might have noted, these are the Faroe Islands. No highways, no trains (very expensive as I'm sure you know), no bridges. This helicopter probably serves more islands than this one. Anyway, I think it is kind of silly to criticise a system that you apparently do not know at all, and judge it by your own standards.

[@lexaharpell5196]

@illuminOz I'm not sure if you noticed, there is a lighthouse on the island. Maybe they are also the lighthouse keepers who need to ensure the safety of shipping in the area. There are many people around the world who live in remote areas/islands maintaining lighthouses for the benefit of many - and they too require supplies to be flown in. You appear quick to judge without the full details.

[@lexaharpell5196]

@illuminOz 'cute' that was silly to say and exposes part of your mindset..... I know of a few lighthouses in remote areas which are not automated and require daily maintenance. as well as performing weather research at the location. The woman was also the 8th generation to live on the island. A six minute video clip does not show or tell the whole story or history, so it is foolhardy to make assumptions.

There is a woman in my country who lives alone on an isolated island and she doesn't even have a house! She sleeps on the beach shore, grows all her food and hunts for food and she swims with whales. She's literally a cast away from many years ago but she chose to stay and live on the island.

450 ewes live on the island. They produce 300-400 sheepskin per year, plus lots of renowned turnips that benefit from the guano-enriched soil. There are also guest cottages. 10-14 people from 2 families live on the island. The capital is not far, which they visit and where they even attend school. The helicopter visits twice per week with supplies and sometimes even tourists. So they are not as alone, isolated, remote, poor, or naturally-living as you might think. That doesn't take away from the beauty and peacefulness of the place, nor the hard work it takes.

I live alone on 20 acres in South Carolina, and run a farm. All my food is produced on my land so i dont need to go shopping for it. I order almost everything i need from the internet so i dont go shopping for clothes or tools. I can count the amount of times i stepped off my property on two hands annually. Its not so different from their lifestyle. I would really enjoy living on that island. Im curious why they dont use a ship for travel, a quick rope climb down from the cliff and off onto the boat.

It is a truly magnificent place, utterly unforgettable. There is a place where there is a small bridge, only a few yards long, joining the two larger islands. The water between them is the Atlantic, so I can truly say that I have crossed the Atlantic on a bicyle! The islands are full of history and wonderful buildings.
