I'd go there in a heartbeat... tomorrow even... But I'm not the youthful help they need out there. I'm 51. 😢 Although I do work with my husband who is a carpenter... So I'm definitely not afraid of the work. I quit my career desk job 20 years ago to get back to my construction and farming roots... I can't stand being sedentary.

[@dobestagner2676]

Hey Peter. I’m watching this from Mississippi. I thought I am fit to be there. That’s the kind of life I want and like. Yes, avocado is more important than tv. I had avocado this morning for breakfast and I can have avocado for years. I can live with it without rice. I am originally from the Philippines and I kind of grew the way Dano and Robin are living now. I grew with all what they have in their land now. Coconut trees, bananas, coffee trees, corn, avocado, mangoes, bananas, jackfruit, soursop, all kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables. We raised livestocks too! Please please! I want to be there I can take my husband with me if not I’ll go myself and find a Hawaiian husband there. I’m serious! I can’t live here anymore I been a victim of racial profiling and this has been going on for 3 years now. It’s eating me alive and I can’t go on like this anymore.

Each age needs a new kind of spirituality because each is different from any other; hence messengers go on coming. A messenger is nothing but a man who translates the eternal truth for contemporary man. Abraham is one of those great messengers of God. It is good to be associated with Abraham, but remember now that Abraham also needs a new birth. Osho

[@DonnaRatliff1]

I left the city and suburbs of beautiful sunny Florida to move to a mountain and grow my own food with Zero TV in 2007. At that time, there was no internet worth trying to use. I've never regretted it. Since I came the world has fallen apart. Living this way, you see any of that. I go back to visit family and can't wait to get the hell out of there. Honestly, It's become overcrowded and everyday more agriculture land is becoming suburbs. Plus, you can't grow the wide variety of food that you can in NE AL. I know I'm not crazy for living this rural life because other people who see where and how I live want to move here too. Lol

These guys really have what it takes for us to learn from, including true grit and wisdom from experience.

@MatthewMasterson-pk2su That's true, but kids aren't even taught HOW to think anymore, just what propaganda to absorb & repeat without actually considering what they're promoting. “The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.” - Thomas Sowell "Propaganda is a monologue that is not looking for an answer, but an echo.” - W. H. Auden

[@emilybroome188]

1) the love they have for each other 2) the love they have for their children, not judging or chiding them for not taking over their land and not raising them in a cultic mindset, but clearly being proud of them and supportive of them 3) the love they have for humanity living differently than them and not thinking everyone should do exactly as they do. This is the true heart of a homesteader. A heart of teaching, sharing, inviting, and love.

Yeah, dude seems cool but you can tell that his generation's mindset really did get to him. She is also of that same generation and seems to kind of "know her place" type thing. I mean, that DOES go back to the patriarchal teachings of the monotheistic God of the Jews... for good reason though: God expects man to provide for his wife, take care of her, sacrifice for her & take the bullet for her ultimately so it's only fitting that she is a bit submissive. Not really so bad. Eh. I'd encourage everyone to actually look into the history of what these ancient manuscripts have been saying for thousands of years and after this, what they have been saying about prophecy & how today looks exactly what the prophets predicted (really open eye trance via the most high: Yhwh). How Jesus is literally the ONLY one out of alllll the belief systems who is still alive and has hundreds of witnesses & their names listed, proof they were actual people who lived in the Jerusalem area a couple thousand years ago. Gene Kim, Amir Tsarfati & Robert Breaker all have really great channels that deep dive into the TRUTH & nothing but the TRUTH. 🥰❤️✝️🩸All about the blood atonement of Jesus the Christ.

Watching from a country whose major economy relies on livestock herding, Somalia. Lessons learned from this insightful documentary. 1. Life in the jungle can be beautiful if you have land suitable for mixed farming, including crops, chickens & herbal medicinal plants. 2. Using plant harvest remnants, like banana peels & stems, by placing them near the stem of banana trees provides essential nutrients such as sodium, which banana trees are rich in. 3. : I learned about the Bahá'í religion. 4. Sustainable Resource Management: I discovered the process of "make, take, use & reuse" as an alternative to "make, take, use & lose". 5. Learned more about Permaculture Farming & Homesteading.

I grew up in southern rural Ohio. I'm 39. I'm not off grid. I totally can relate with these folks. I hunt and fish, I forage. I garden, I compost and build living soil. I'm not strict though. The majority of protein in my diet comes from rabbits and deer. I still buy beef burger and I still buy veggies. My favorite thing to do is garden. To me it's all about the soil. Soil is literally the basis of life and health. I believe God gave us all the plants and he is pleased when we build sustainable soils. The lessons learned are priceless. I grew up without a leash I was in the woods as much as I could as a kid and I continued as an adult. I've recently encouraged my fiance to garden with me. She is a life long urban dweller. We are polar opposites in May ways. Just seeing her begonia blooms got her hooked. It's spiritual on a whole other level. When your garden does well the feeling cannot be described. It is certainly a religious experience. I too agree much with their religion.

[@barlotardy]

This was great, Peter. Between these folks, and the Amish, I love that you've been covering self-sufficient people. Keep it coming!

[@RebeccaBurns1212]

I lived on Molokai for over 3yrs... my oldest son graduated from Molokai High. My youngest was born on the Big Island. I dream of Molokai daily and still connect with Ohana there. I thank you for sharing your world with us. Namaste 🙏

[@mckirk5350]

If you can't build it, you won't be able to maintain it, then maybe you don't need it. This is a true wealth, thank you for sharing your farm and lives. Peter you are damn lucky.

[@Born2Grind]

To highlight on what you said I've realized decades ago, when you bought say a dryer, it came with a manual and everything was mechanical. You could work on your own things if you had the patience. Nowadays we have apple phones and electric cars, that need to be worked on by appropriate professionals.

[@dexter255]

That’s beautiful! My family and I live on a big ranch in Texas and when I leave the small town we live by it’s a relief to get home. Our garden, cows, deer, rabbits,pigs,birds,and the water that flows through the woods give us peace. Going to town and especially a big city like San Antonio gives me stress like a lot of stress. I relate to that style of living. I love being a part of nature daily.

[@Reno-vi2tj]

You're super lucky. I'd give my right foot to be able to spend time in a place like that

[@mickeywhite7878]

Agreed. San Antonio sucks, I live on the outskirts

[@vicm6561]

I lived in Hawaii for three years (Kailua) after living on an island in San Juan’s (N Seattle Anacortes for 13 years ) when we left Hawaii we moved to San Antonio … all the traffic, signs, stores and people gave me my first panic attack lol eventually I got used to it . Then we moved to the beach in Pan Handle of Florida , small town. Don’t care for big cities myself. I could go spend 6 months easily on this farm working and sipping tea on Malakai ❤

[@capicolaspicy]

Good God if I were 30 years younger I'd be signing up in a heartbeat to be there! This is what life was meant to be like!

[@amyniemann9564]

Me too but dang it I’m 70 👎🏼

[@tiarysha84]

Oh goodness… I started to reevaluate what means most to me while watching this. As a Pacific Islander… I lived this for a few years… now in my 40s, and seeing this lovely couple share their world with you/us, I became a little sad by how out of touch I’ve been living the city life. Makes me miss living back home… we’d be more healthy for it too! Mahalo for this beautiful interview!

[@donnatg1990]

Thank you Peter for recognizing what wonderful content Dano and robin could provide. Their life is what dreams are made of. At 80, I wish I hadn't wasted my life in urban America. Now my husband andI live in the country and love that aspect of it but are too old to enjoy taking care of many animals and gardening. Modern corporate food has taken it's toll on our lives. Dano and Robin are offering a wonderful opportunity to a couple willing to work it ----so much better than a university degree. If only weI was young enough. Thank you Peter and thank you Dano and Robin for sharing your life.

[@muhammadnawaz5039]

So much 'better than a university degree' I agree 💯

[@jmcgovern6454]

Again, Peter pulls together another video to show how beautiful our world is and how intellectual our people are about saving and preserving culture ❤

[@wuzzycuzzy6656]

I like this man's wording regarding the structure that used to be a bedroom. It appears a large rock or Boulder. Rolled down the hill, affecting the bedroom structure in some way. Referring to the structure, he said. Well, it used to be a bedroom, but a large, rock kind of CHANGED it. He did not say, destroy or ruin.He said CHANGED! This guy is totally in tune and in harmony with the land. He is careful with his words and does not view a " natural event as necessarily " bad or negative " . I could listening to and watch this couple 24/7 . Makes my heart sing!

[@farwoodfarm9296]

Adapt and overtime

[@laurenelizabeth2592]

I love that change of speech as well. So glad others noticed the power of speech as well

[@atreeintheforrest]

I'm a 30 year old who has lived in cities almost my whole life and my beliefs are EXACTLY the same as the two, I'm stunned. I've never heard anyone explain how I see "God," and my whole life's mission is to teach myself how to do this (create permacultures) so I can then teach other people how to do it. I hope Dano and Robin see this and have hope knowing that people from all kinds of places see the world as they do. As it really is.

[@OmarWalker-l1o]

So sad to hear your children father leave you, but you still make a life for yourself lady ❤, from Jamaica one love ❤

[@Mynameismom808]

This is absolutely my dream. I'm currently on maui, got 5 kids pregnant with no. 6 and me and my husband are drooling over this lifestyle lol. I'm doing my own tiny homesteading with what I've got but I'm so excited for our new journey to homesteading! You both have been blessed beyond anything I could ever imagine. I'm so happy for you and so proud of the way you raised your kids and raised your food! Great job you two!!! You're a great example of how beautiful this life is.

[@MadPutz]

Then you're the perfect candidate for who they want to succeed their homestead! Go ahead and reach out as they said in the video and description!

[@elizabethwitt2621]

​@@MadPutzI was thinking the same thing!

[@qbqbqdbq]

Six kids? You're an ecological disaster! Thanks for ruining the planet.

[@blueemu9725]

​@qbqbqdbq you are a serious POS for that comment

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

Here's the thing. Humanity loves technology, yet humanity loves and longs for this kind of life. If we could all just get back to real-life living along with using technology to have a balance between the two instead of letting one or the other take over, that would truly be a life worth living. Our existence today is just so incredibly out of touch its actually terrifying.

[@jeas4980]

Imagine if we only adapted technology that supported harmony with nature.

[@jacobmitchell5066]

They use technology as well. Any tool that is used to solve a problem is technology.

[@Glory_in_Christ_forever]

[@zw3565]

​@@jacobmitchell5066 right fridges oven power. Sure power tools and vehicles brought up all the supplies to build the home. If it wasn't for technology they wouldn't have what they have.

[@gardensofthegods]

Poor deer . At least they went quickly .

[@tracyhh3096]

If I, a lowly human, could conjure blessings, I would send a bushel to this beautiful, strong, brave couple. My sister says, bloom where you are planted, and this takes great courage as well. Thank you for sharing this video. I gives me hope. I love the idea of bringing a young couple into the Permaculture forest to teach and pass knowledge forward. In the interim, as you wait, remember the Woofers. If they could commit to three month periods, you would have both help and the opportunity to teach. Its truly is remarkable what happens to my spirit as I work in my own garden. The world falls away as my hands work the soil, plodding through decisions, and at the end of the day: satisfaction. 💕

[@robertp3124]

Peter, I really appreciate your willingness to shine a light on people living quiet interesting lives. Almost everything is about perspective and whether you are in Amish country, the deep south, or anywhere else...you bring us along to listen and learn without judgement. Thanks!

[@bgatlin5918]

If only I was 40 years younger. What a wonderful opportunity for someone to learn from them and get to live in that paradise. I do wonder about their daughters and the fact that neither of them want to live there and eventually take over. Great Video.

[@metarugia3981]

They both raised 4 daughters on that land, and none of them want to live there as adults to carry on and preserve their parents legacy. Homesteading is not for everyone, it's a tough lonely harsh life because you have to do manual labor on a daily basis to survive.

[@redsammy7789]

Probably because they already been there done that already as kids

[@melanieharris5595]

Are dano and robin planning to retire and move back to mainland?

[@Conquistador7777]

Kids normally always return later in life. Seen it happen many times.

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

I lived on a ranch growing up,lived off the land. So much work to do. Couldn't wait to have a small piece of land to raise a family,which I did. I raised cattle,horses,chickens,and ducks,and grew veggies and alfalfa. My kids couldn't wait to leave. Lots of work. But in the long run they too live on small acreage. Circle of life!

[@Jupe367]

Kids look forward to Saturday cartoons. I look forward to Peter Santenello's KZbin uploads,

[@israelimelanin9262]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! For sharing, thank you for this powerful spiritual message, insight, knowledge & furthering my belief in self. I have such deep admiration for this heaven sent couple. Nothing gives myself, my husband & out 5 children more peace than the freedom of being one with the land, planting, foraging, eating what “we” produce & giving back to Mother Nature as she graciously gives to us in abundance. I’m in love with this circle of life, nothing ever really ends or dies, it may look different when it returns but it’s still a gift one must cherish. I do pray that my husband and I are able to visit and soak up as much knowledge as possible for our homestead. If it’s in the cards for us to stay there, it would be a great pleasure. Much respect & admiration to you Peter who travel all over to continue to spread and sow seeds of motivation, inspiration, joy, peace, mindful eating, culture, community & so much more. Gratitud, love & light 🙏 To God be the glory.

[@ColeSanders-kx7bt]

I love how they have no TV or modern civilization comforts but are very up to date on religion and the world

I wish I could help them but an accident in 2003 left me wheelchair bound so I'd be more of a burden. This is a beautiful part of the US and definitely needs to be preserved.

Exactly what I want,

[@Paula14609]

Stunned to hear “the problem is the solution”. I had a boss who would say that to me. I’d stare at him with my hands on my hips & say “I’ll consider that”. I was a huge student of philosophy so I did ponder that teaching often. When I retired he called me his Warrior. Greatest gift I’ve ever been given. And B’hai…another thing I haven’t thought of for years. Great respect for these people who can actually & successfully make their life this way. I was invited to be Amish but I knew my worldly parameters. Again a high honor to be told I have an “Amish heart.” I felt your blessings & will receive them with memory & prayer.
