Must see Permaculture Food Forest and resilient lifestyle - Pierre Moreault

[@willm5814]

I’m an old mech engineer from Ontario, I see the world the way this guy does - it’s a bit of a lonely paradigm - one very simple example: my wife, who is very successful and intelligent gets angry when I throw vegetable waste into the bush beside our deck (you can’t see a trace of it for the undergrowth) - she would rather send it off to landfill 😩😂 - another more significant example: nobody I hang out with seems to think that American factory farms are a problem - I think I need to find new friends

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

It's really crazy how many people are just completely oblivious to all these things, even despite having people in their lives telling them about them. I face that with many acquaintances. Most people just don't care, unfortunately.

[@leep4655]

❤

[@Stewart7516]

I don't think you need to find new friends you just need to show them irrefutable evidence, this isn't a battle won in miles it's an uphill battle that's won inches at a time. Even though we have dug a seemingly insurmountable hole to crawl out of no major victory is likely. It will take a million minor victory one inch at a time.

[@brunitrinidad3488]

You are already my friend. I wish I could do all this here in Long Island NY. I don't have a lot of space but with what I have I want to do as much as possible.

[@Debbie-henri]

If you have a shed in the garden with a gap behind it where nothing much goes on, you could utilise that for your scraps. In my garden, I have a row of large plant pots hidden behind my two sheds, and every day I take all the scraps, tissues and household compostables there, dump them in one of the pots until it's full, top it with a handful of leaves, and let it rot down. These pots are out of sight, don't let the kitchen scraps sprawl in a traditional looking heap (so offensive in the eyes of the many Westerners who have been successfully 'sanitized' against such things as composting), and this will eventually produce compost which you can either empty in a barrow - or do what I do and hoick the pot out into the daylight to be planted up. Then, next time your wife is concerned about you saving kitchen scraps from landfill, you can nudge that pot with your toe and tell her that all the lovely courgettes it's now producing came from last year's potato peelings and cabbage leaves.

[@Justamoment-i6q]

Thank you for the video. Pierre is a rare breed, genius mind with a heart for the greater good. Very inspiring. The more I learn about permaculture and sustainability the more motivated I am to make small changes in the way I live.

[@growshakephil]

What a joyful, positive and happy dude. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Every city block needs two of him.

[@Sunflowerdivinity]

Agree ❤️🙏

[@xX4estXx]

If something is not sustainable. It will collapse, it's not if. It's when. Pretty cool little outtro

[@JanuaryKimberley]

Totally agree. A permaculturist with a perma-smile! Can we figure out how to make a few pattern copies of him please? Great video, thanks so much for sharing ❤

[@Meowbay]

Well, if every city bloc would have 2, there would not be enough land surface left for anyone else. Especially not in denser populated areas..

[@growshakephil]

@@Meowbay I don’t understand. Every city block can and should sustain people who are sustainably minded. They don’t need to all be planting things and raising animals.

[@Growinginontario]

My favourite quote from Pierre “go with what speaks to you and as soon as you do this then you will find the real purpose of existence in life” . I could listen to him speak for days to just pick his brain. My mind is blown by his knowledge and skills. Looking forward to the next video

[@champagnjethersiahdduvenag6078]

This is my kind of people to live with. I can hear my grandparends trew him. Our minds works like his.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

❤️

[@Crina-LudmilaCristeaAuthor]

I know this is a 51 minutes and 44 seconds video, but it felt more like a teaser. I hope there's more coming, Keith. It's so refreshing to see your budding chemistry, such big smiles.😎🤗💛

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

So kind!

[@austinjordan8873]

I second this! Definitely hope you drop more of Pierre’s knowledge bombs. You both inspire me to get to work.

[@4thbrooker]

What's so crazy to me is that this _isn't_ the norm. And I can't think of any legitimate reason why it couldn't be the norm. That it isn't is obviously a product of various things, not the least of which is the capitalistic driving forces in our western societies.

[@ninemoonplanet]

There's a change growing about "refurbishing", currently I know of people taking clothes with damage and remaking them into "newer" things. Sewing machines were hard to get, may still be, but it's one of the worst contributors of garbage waste. Plus the pandemic showed people they didn't need to go out, but work with what they had. Permaculture, agro-forestry, diversified crops are all growing (pun intended) ways of life.

[@limitisillusion7]

Well this guy is on a different level. Realistically, you don't need to be a true Jack of all trades like Pierre. Everyone needs to know how to farm sustainably. But you don't need everyone to have a shop that can manufacture everything. Specialization is okay, but the problem arises when you put too much distance between all the specialization, in addition to a dependence on unsustainable energy sources. We don't all need a full shop and CAD experience. We just need evenly distribute all the skills so they are available in close proximity everywhere.

[@4thbrooker]

@@limitisillusion7 I agree totally. I wasn't referring to his ability to manufacture anything and everything.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

I think 4thBrooker means just the general thought process, then actions aligning with it. For example, just thinking about the imbued energy hidden in the things we buy and the waste we generate. Making conscious choices to minimize these things and provide as much as we can for ourselves, and tapping into waste streams to give things second lives. That should be taught in school.

[@4thbrooker]

@@CanadianPermacultureLegacy Yes! And the whole mentality of taking into consideration the _true_ cost of the things we take for granted in our lives. We think about everything in terms of monetary cost, when, in a sane reality, we would take into account the cost our actions and the things we use have on the environment as a whole.

[@carolinspettigrew6776]

A very inspirational man. Hats off to him.

[@sangha1486]

Wow, what an incredible character!!

[@katherinenicholas7116]

Wow! Wow! Wow! I actually watched this on my TV earlier but wanted to come back and comment. Brilliant man. I hope he considers a social media outlet to share his knowledge with the world. I would definitely follow!

[@gracelifehomestead7634]

Oh I Absolutely LOVE His Mind!!!

[@JW45174]

He needs his own KZbin channel!

[@Sunflowerdivinity]

Thank u so much for sharing this ❤wow you all speak my language 100% omg I NEED his wood boiler for the water!!! That is amazing and a wood stove of course

[@usnyder1]

Yes, this was inspiring and so good to see. Thanks to Pierre for allowing us to visit and to you, Keith, for encouraging him to let us and filming! Also, thank you to Poppy for encouraging Pierre to write things down! Great video.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Our pleasure!

[@heatherbraaten4810]

Chantecler, the only Canadian breed of chickens. A true heritage breed. I love that you recycle so much and turn it back to the ground and feed the soil. Thank you for this video and being in Canada, I love seeing this content out there!

[@smoothbrain8519]

I would love to apprentice for Pierre wow, hope he considers hosting for WWOOF more and more and then we can get some of that tribal knowledge shared ! Such a cool walkthrough, thanks all!

[@Pausereflectandbreathe]

Wow! His talents, skills and knowledge is way too much! What a gift to humanity! He can teach us all how to thrive well and not just survive. “If you’re surviving then you’re struggling.” I have to change that in my head to stay away from struggle. I guess the right thing to say is “I am doing well.” The game of the mind that we experience. It starts with a thought then materialize in reality. Thank you for sharing this! Your video came across to me yesterday and I love it! I live in a subdivision with a Homeowners Association but I planted many dwarf trees last year in our backyard. I also planted grapes and mulberry in our front garden and some in big pots which I hope help us eat healthier and not depend on grocery stores. I planted herbs years ago to help with my depression because I don’t want to be dependent on prescription medicine for life. Your videos helped me to get excited to plan what to plant in my garden. You are a blessing! ❤️🙏

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Amazing! Good on you for taking action! Future you will love you for it!

[@joankirby1944]

Pierre is a genius. I dont know how he fits it all in though. He must work morning till night.

[@pattibando3104]

Awesome video Keith❤ So much knowledge in one person. Its nice when you meet someone who thinks the same way as you do. I like his saying What speaks to you. That makes alot of sense. Pierre should really write a book so all his knowledge won't get lost. Great conversation to listen to with you all Keith,Poppy and Pierre. ❤

[@pervezak]

I am 72 and I am trying building something like this despite the resistance from most people around me. Hopefully my grandchildren will enjoy it.

[@linedeyon]

I can’t wait to see more content! I’ve watched this 3 times since yesterday haha! I’m sure Pierre is very busy all of the time; but I so wish he could have his own channel. That man is so intelligent, humble, and above all such a positive influence. I’d love to be a fly on a wall during your conversations! Haha

[@linedeyon]

Also I’ve been following your channel for a while and I’m obsessed! You’ve thought me so much and have really been a huge stepping stone in my permaculture garden! Keep up the good work. I, and many others appreciate your dedication to informing/ bettering the community. Aho brother 🪶💗

Pierre is a great inspiration. I admire his creativity in action, his ability to make anything, his energy, his perspective on how he views sustainability and how his choices in food and purchases make a positive difference. Thank you for this video. One of your best.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@edenespaldon6468]

Wow, this guy is phenomenal.

[@saltriverorchards4190]

This man’s IQ must be through the roof. He is such an amazing person.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

It's scary how smart he is. The scary thing is, many engineering things I learned in school, he has just picked up on with his intuition. For example, he designed a watering system that used the venturi principle to get flow of water started through a T pipe to break a siphon. Pierre is truly an absolute mad genius.

[@CindyTaylor-h3n]

[@nickdmartin]

Around 14:00, what is the healthiest plant? Sage or Salvia officinalis? That is a large bush.

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Sage. Many botanists feel that purple Sage is the healthiest.

[@marytomassetti]

Thank you for this beautiful gift!! I have been learning from you for just over a year now, headed into my second season on this land. Thank you for all your time, explanations, detailed info, and great delivery. And now Pierre - amazing. Thank you

[@Stealthspy589]

I do really wish I had the knowledge to rig a CNC lathe up, opens up nearly endless possibilities

[@limitisillusion7]

My mind is blown. I was right there with this guy, believing I could do everything he could. Then I got to 42:40

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

Indeed. There's so much more footage of his shop and the work he does, like making his own telescope, etc. Check out his website and make sure to send him email to show him appreciation. He is just thrilled by reading the comments so far. I TOLD HIM that people NEED to see his work and his mind. He's insanely inspirational and important. I mean Pierre buys second hand CNC lathes, restores and modifies them, forges new parts for them, so that he can automate the process, almost like making a 3d printer, and he's just like "so I do this and that, and then I automate it all, and now I can make anything you want". 😮 👀

[@DatIIV]

That was inspiring, everything from Pierre's outlook to little designs that really take his work to another level(such as the double pivot wheels (20:30) to change the rabbit hutch from sitting to rolling). I really hope someone comes in as an apprentice under him and from that last little bit it seems like he really wants that too. Do you have a patreon or somewhere you might post more of the 4 hours of footage?

[@CanadianPermacultureLegacy]

A lot of the cut footage unfortunately was cut due to wind noise and it isn't really useful. I will instead maybe visit him more often.

[@Sunflowerdivinity]

I would love to be an apprentice there!!

[@Crina-LudmilaCristeaAuthor]

@CanadianPermacultureLegacy I contacted him to ask if he would be interested in illustrating one of my stories and he replied by writing that he has a very great friend who already illustrated a couple of children's books. Here's hoping I will find the right person to do the illustrations. I really felt, while watching your video, that he might be suitable for this story, but he's probably super busy with other things. Also, what a way to meet and make a new great friend - at a plant auction! That's just awesome!

Tree auction, well, my neighbour has managed to grow more trees than there's room for. Might try to convince him to do an auction. 😄 Fascinating how taking scraps and transforming them into so many things. I go to local green grocer (veg market) and get kilos of fruits etc for my worm farm. Joke here is I have thousands of pets in my kitchen. They're cutting way down on food waste.
