I am currently in Mendoza. The owner of the airbnb where i am staying told me a simple small property can be purchased for $25,000. An uber driver told me that land with a simple house 30 minutes north of mendoza can also be purchased for $25,000. Mind blowing!

[@__beinluv]

mmm the north of Mendoza is very dangerous that's why it's cheap, i wouldn't recommended it, I'm from Mendoza btw, i would go live on Lujan de Cuyo or Maipú

[@o2bkjohn]

I grew up in Texas in the 60's. We didnt have much money. We lived in the country. What you are experiencing is what I did growing up. Well water, space heaters, etc. Occassionaly we had ice storms and power lines would break. We planned ahead and ran 5 gallon buckets to have water to drink, flush toilets, etc. Even though we have money and and luxury -things now I still at times flash back to my child hood times. We had an ice storm and snow a couple years ago. I still stored water in case we lost power. Also had plenty of beans, pasta, canned good etc. So we when I saw the millenials on the news complaining about not having food etc I laughed because theyve never experienced the hardships I did. I would have no problem living like ya'll are. I've traveled in worked in South America and Mexico over the years. Things like you said take longer. My wife is more high strung so she doesn't play well with things like this. Enjoy!!

[@tuckerjennings1816]

Argentina seems like a dream. Please reach out I'd live to pick your brain more on things like the postal services and shipping internationally as I do wood art with exotic woods and want to see the feasibility of purchasing property and relocating.

[@SpookyGhost999]

You will need to find a customs broker, we call them Agente de aduana o Martilleros públicos, they will get you the permit and do the paperwork for you. About shipping we have 3 levels, the public mail, which is eeh ok~ish, private mail which is good, and courier agents who are small company's with connections in customs that get you anything you want in or out. Keep in mind that if you do "everything by the book" this country will try to drown your with taxes and transform your U$D to AR$ (which is bad, first because they will give you a lesser exchange rate and second the inflation of the arg peso), so the customs agent or the courier agent will teach you how to "wiggle" the system so you don't die in the attempt. Getting your national ID is really easy, everyone gets it, and it doesn't take too much time, once you have that you are a full citizen and you can purchase anything, if you have u$d no one ask questions.

[@tomydurazno6243]

I will give you good news regarding wood: Argentina is near the Amazon rainforest (north), so its easy and cheap to get great exotic wood, also we have many interesting wood choices that grew in the south. I knew all of this because I build and repair musical instruments

[@rudyardbonilla1879]

We lived in Houston, we're also looking to relocate to Argentina or Chile Patagonia area, can you let me know if you find someone truth worthy. Thanks

[@scottc3165]

This is pretty much rural living anywhere in the world .LOL. Greetings from very rural California.

[@thekatalexander]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, I lived rurally in both Oregon and California.

[@yuliadudina]

Hey guys! The situation with pumping water is actually easily solved with a couple of float switches. Ask your plumber to install them in your place when you'll be working on that. One float switch gets installed inside a water tank. When the switch is in horizontal position (tank is full), the water won't pump. As soon as the float switch drops down at a certain angle, say 45 degrees down, it would "tell" the pump that water is getting low. Then the 2nd float switch gets installed inside the well. There it will be adjusted to the opposite - to allow the pump to work when the water level in the well is high. That way you will never overdraw the well - which is a common reason why wells dry up... It is also "healthier" for the well if you pump water often, but in smaller amounts. That float switch in the tank would guarantee that.

[@agusalex10]

Yes and the water heater has an automatic setting (piloto)

[@SOBZetineb]

That's right. There is even an "intelligent" pump where no float switches are needed!

[@helenirving4788]

Thank you so much for the info. I plan on moving there next year and plan on residing in a country home.

[@rainbowseeker5930]

@@helenirving4788- Great. If you don't understand Spanish at all try to learn the basics of the language before you come down here because you'll need it in small towns and countryside. Few chances of running into English-speaking people in such small places. In the big cities like BA, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, it's not as necessary since many people understand or are able to speak a fairly good English. Welcome to our country where you'll find amazingly friendly people !

[@danielroydrawe]

I am so envious of you guys. I'm 66, Canadian, tired of the life here, divorced, no kids, and ready for a change. If i could, i would drive to rural Argentina. No desire to live in a big city.

[@SOBZetineb]

Just do it Daniel! What are you waiting for?!! Break free for the sake of your happiness!. Life, as far as I'm concerned, is only one!. I'm from Argentina, but tired of Argentina. I'm moving to Brasil. I got tired of the winter here. In my personal case the country is extremelly beautiful but I don't like cold at all. I prefer heat even the whole year. One day I thought to myself, I'm gonna die the way a want to: Living only the way I always desired. Living by a tropical sea shore where hot women are and lovely music is! Material and ideological life only makes you weaker!

Daniel, if you’re scared to move go visit Argentina! I’m your age but not afraid to go to new places. First, really do your research and see that it meets your needs. My friends are telling me to just visit first but I have done enough research and will move to Argentina next summer. I don’t like cities but plan on staying in Buenos Aires for a year while I travel to other towns to see where I want to settle. I am taking my fur baby with me and hope to rescue a fur baby there too. The other country I had in mind is Paraguay and I will travel there too. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! God bless you in your new adventures! 🙏🏼👍🏻🤗

Regarding your water heater, you can install a intermediate water tank and put it in direct sunlight, paint it black and have free hot water

[@MichelleGianni]

Nice video, I am thinking of buying property in a place like that in Argentina. You guys could install what is called a float switch which will cut off the water when the tank fills to a certain level and you will never run out of water because when it starts to get low it pumps water automatically.

[@agme8045]

You will be welcomed!

[@duncannicholson1882]

Add a float switch to your water lift pump. I have this on my rainwater harvesting system

[@gwynnmccallan8856]

This is very much like my childhood here in the US. 50 years ago we lived in a poor rural area with my grandparents. They did have electricity and running water, except in winter storms. But everything else was just like you've described. We had a wood stove for heat, washed clothes by hand, had to drive trash to the town dump...

[@UnPluggingThePlayer]

That's how it was for me too as a child in rural Saskatchewan, Canada. Well, everywhere in Saskatchewan is technically rural. Canada and USA have made similar changes throughout the decades. I love Texas and lived there for a while. It's very much like Alberta, Canada, where I currently live.

[@felixf4378]

Hi Audrey, regarding the heater, you can leave the pilot on, gas consumption is negligible and those heaters have a sensor called thermocouple that cut the flow of gas immediately (quite safe). Great vids!

[@rogerx005]

A washer machine costs about 300 USD. I think is a cost you can afford to and it is for once and and when you move you can take it with you because it's yours. That's how the things work here in Argentina. And it could make the things easier to your day by day life

[@afa78djd]

The bit you mentioned early in the video about how to deal with your trash, lots of things now make sense, that my grandparents would do on their farm when we'd visit. One thing that I'd always wonder why was, when they'd go into town, they'd purchase/trade good but they'd take their own sacks and containers to bring them in. Soda, water, beans, rice, all in thick plastic bags and burlap sacks that they'd have stocked up, even if there was the option to buy said things already packaged. Of course! There was no waste disposal service where they lived. xD The things one as a kid oversees.

[@luismariarigotti5659]

at the end also in English. Hola, me diverti mucho con tu video, porque yo vivi desde 1958 hasta el 2012 en el campo, por trabajo, en un lugar donde el pueblo mas cercano estaba a 55 km por caminos de tierra y malos caminos, cuando llovia se ponian intransitables, y si, debia "fabricarme" mi agua, mi luz electrica, proveerme mi gas, usabamos cilindros de 45 kg. y la leña, fundamental, el gas se usaba para las cocinas y las heladeras, porque solo teniamos luz electrica de 18hs a 22 hs en invierno y de 19 hs. a 23 en verano, luego usabamos baterias de 32 volts, que sirven como vela electrica, recien tuvimos television en 1993 cuando llego la televicion satelital, antes solo escuchabamos radio de AM y leiamos, leiamos mucho, Los de la ciudad piensan que el agua sale de la canilla y la leche de la heladera, Nosotros hasta carneabamos lanares para poder tener carne, y habia un recinto que llamabamos carniceria donde la res quedaba colgada y mi señora iba y tomaba el trozo que necesitaba, o sea ella despostaba el animal a medida que se consumia, se comia todo, no esto no me gusta, todo, El agua caliente se lograba de calefones a leña que eran unos termos que debajo tenian un hornillo que quemaba cualquier porqueria ademas de leña y siempre habia agua caliente en la casa, NOs comunicabamos con el pueblo con una radio a bateria, y mis hijos fueron a una escuela rural que estaba a 8km de la casa donde iban tambien otros chicos de la zona unos 15 o 20 y con dos maestras se enseñaba a todos, las maestras vivian el colegio, hoy los dos son profesionales universitarios. Su experiencia campestre no la olvidan y ademas los marco en su caracter, no son de los que se ahogan en un vaso de agua, tambien aprendimos a manejar la basura, todo lo que era organico se usaba de abono, lo demas se juntaba aparte y los plasticos se separaban y de tanto en tanto aparecian "cirujas" en camionetas que compraban todo eso para reciclar, pagaban nada, era un pago simbolico, pero nos hacian un favor, para lo no tenia reciclabe habia un pozo grande donde se tiraba y cada tanto se hacia otro pozo, para combatir los roedores teniamos gallinas sueltas que comen todo lo que come el roedor y al no haber comida las ratas y lauchas se van, y gatos silvestres que controlan no solo los roedores sino tambien las vivoras, Me retire del campo por edad y salud, estando tan lejos de los medicos llega un momento que no se puede vivir mas en el campo, en el 2000 me piso un tractor y me llevaron en la caja de una camioneta hasta el pueblo, pero a los 2 meses regrese y anduve dos meses mas con muletas, pero el trabajo no se descuido, todo el que he conocido y tuvo mi misma experiencia de vida, hoy muchos profesionales trabajando en el pueblo en temas de campo siempre recuerdan con cariño ese periodo de vida, yo tengo un gran recuerdo guardado por suerte en muchas fotos, A pesas de haber sido una vida no tan comoda creo que fui un privilegiado de la vida por haberla tenido, Lo que hacen ustedes es mas dificil, porque se deben adaptar a algo muy nuevo y totalmente distinto hasta en la cultura de vida de lo que es Canada y es Argentina donde aqui se vive para vivir y en los otros paises de se vive para trabajar. Por eso la gente es mas relajada, Un saludo grande y mucha suerte en su emprendimiento. Hello, I had a lot of fun with your video, because I lived from 1958 to 2012 in the countryside, for work, in a place where the nearest town was 55 km away along dirt roads and bad roads, When it rained they became impassable, and yes, they had to "manufacture" my water, my electric light, provide me with my gas, we used 45 kg cylinders. and firewood was essential, gas was used for the stoves and refrigerators, because we only had electric light from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in winter and from 7:00 p.m. at 23 in summer, then we used 32 volt batteries, which serve as electric candles, we only had television in 1993 when satellite television arrived, before we only listened to AM radio and read, we read a lot, those in the city think that the water comes out from the tap and the milk from the refrigerator. We even slaughtered sheep to be able to have meat, and there was an area that we called the butcher shop where the beef was left hanging and my wife would go and take the piece she needed, that is, she would butcher the animal to size. that was consumed, everything was eaten, no I don't like this, everything. The hot water was obtained from wood-burning heaters that were thermoses that had a stove underneath that burned any garbage in addition to firewood and there was always hot water in the house, We communicated with the town with a battery-powered radio, and my children went to a rural school that was 8km from the house where other children from the area also went, about 15 or 20, and with two teachers everyone was taught, the teachers lived school, today they are both university professionals. They do not forget their country experience and it also marks them in their character, they are not the type to drown in a glass of water, we also learned to manage garbage, everything that was organic was used as fertilizer, the rest was collected separately and The plastics were separated and from time to time "surgeons" appeared in vans who bought all that to recycle, they paid nothing, it was a symbolic payment, but they did us a favor, for what we didn't have recycling there was a big pit where it was thrown away and each So much so that another well was dug, to combat the rodents we had free chickens that eat everything the rodent eats and when there was no food the rats and mouses left, and wild cats that controlled not only the rodents but also the vipers. I left the countryside due to age and health, being so far from the doctors there comes a time when you can no longer live in the countryside, in 2000 a tractor ran over me and they took me in the bed of a truck to the town, but after 2 months I returned and walked for two more months on crutches, but the work was not neglected, everyone I have met and had my same life experience, today many professionals working in the town on field issues always fondly remember that period of life, I I have a great memory fortunately saved in many photos. Despite having had a not so comfortable life, I think I was privileged to have had it. What you do is more difficult, because you have to adapt to something very new and totally different even in the culture of life from what Canada is and what Argentina is where here you live to live and in the other countries you live to work. That's why people are more relaxed. Best regards and good luck in your endeavor.

I'm 60. I think this is really just that you're younger and grew up in a different era so when you go to Argentina which has not developed as quickly as USA/Canada, it seems very different.

Many of the things you have shown seem like very normal and ordinary things by my own experience. I found it interesting that they seemed very new and different to you.

You need to wire a float switch in the tank OR install a well pump, better idea actually.

[@waywardgeologist2520]

1:53 weird way for water. In the U.S. it’s a 4 inch well with a pump in it that is connected to an 80 gallon bladder tank. The system is automated, so I don’t have to worry about pumping water.

Hi, Audrey, very interesting this vid of yours...That's rural life, especially a bit harsher in secluded areas like the one you guys have settled. Things will improve drastically once you get a vehicle to take you into town to do your errands. For people watching this vid in first world countries it should be pointed out that in Argentina's large towns - let alone big cities - you don't have to suffer most of the inconveniences you detail here. Seems like an obvious remark but some people might get the idea that everywhere here is like that ! No such thing.

[@gregoriosmith6994]

Yes, I agree that it is very "easy" to forget to pump water into the tinaco, That Is Lesson Number One. No matter whomever you are asking for personal recommendations, they will apparently always have a brother-in -law . . . For sure, your confession that you are the one who needs to adapt is an incontrovertible truism. What you need to adapt to is more asados.

This video inspired us to do the same which we finally did in November this year. But fortunately for us things have changed a bit from your rather uncomfortable trip and the wooden benches in the boat have been replaced with comfy car seats and the guesthouses at Chiang Khong and Pakbeng were great. So we just wanted to give you a huge thankyou for inspiring us at around 70 odd years old to take this adventure. We're still on the road, now travelling through Cambodia. Thanks guys

Then, you put the hose to the pump in, and start up the gas-powered generator for the pump. Chug chug chug The water goes to an excellent tank on the roof, because (when it comes down) that's your water pressure! The califon is something foreigners MUST understand.

thank you very much for your video, please tell me where exactly this place is, this rural part in the middle of nature ?

[@RRCRDA777-55]

awesome. cosas por apender y adaptarse

[@RyanBanman]

We live in the country side just 25min outside of Winnipeg Canada. These aren't an Argentina issue. It's a nor al country living thing. We have a well, but we don't fill a tank with it. It's a pump much like yours, but our pump has a pressure air tank on top to help with proving pressure without turning on everything we open a tap. But our pump just draws water and pumps to whatever tap we open at any moment. The hot water tank thing seems like an on demand hot water system. Do they have large hot water tanks? Like a 150gal tank? Mine is electric unless we buy a propane one. And we have to take our own garbage too. Buses though don't go to rural areas in canada. We just all have cars. Is it more difficult to have your own car there? Or is that a personal choice?

Estaba por comentar y llegó el aviso del otro video y me fui para allá 😁😁, pero ya volví sólo para felicitarlos una vez más por gran trabajo y su espíritu aventurero y emprendedor. Luisa me pide que la disculpen, esta bastante estresada cooperando en los cuidados de su Mamá y los cuidados permanentes que requiere Plinito.

Good luck ..nice video...

[@whaleshark7154]

Damn, was expecting to learn only about Argentina but never expected, Samuel to wear Chennai Super Kings Yellow Jersey !!!!!!!!!!

[@CrisUrbanJacquesBiology]

No se supone q los calefones deben estar siempre con el piloto prendido? Y nunca apagarlos?

[@anayethosein9581]

আমি বাংলাদেশ থেকে দেখছি। very nice madam

[@guyal2332]

Hi Audrey.....My husband is from Argentina and we have been together visiting there for the past 31 years. We watched this video snd I found you spot-on in your comments about life in the country there. You have a great attitude about your projects but I am pretty sure it must have been quite a challenge at first. We know it to be a true learning experience adapting as you are to such a different country from Canada...but you are doing it in a way that is truly entertaining. We look forward to moore from you in Cordoba Province and from your Dad Daniel as well. Keep up the good work! Mary and Guillermo in Montreal

What Harriet and I like about you guys is that you know how to adjust to life that is so much different from Toronto. Not easy. The payoff is so much better. We are sure that you will make some adjustments as your needs change. You guys are doing it so intelligently . Reach out to us if you need any advice or help. Love your dearly.❤❤❤ Sending you Happy Holiday Greetings🌲🌲🌲 from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the encouraging words, Harriet & Jim! We agree - the payoff will be worth it! I hope you're both doing well and enjoying the holiday season! 🎄✨💕

[@hermyt]

Do you plan to get a form of transportation -- bike, scooter or car? I imagine the priors may not be suitable because of partial dirt roads and uphill to your rental and/or properties.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yes, we do plan on getting a used car. We'll need it to get around!

[@rogerx005]

I live in the countryside since 20 years ago and you can believe me, having a car really makes the difference

[@daveweaver61427]

Why not get a pressure tank for the well and an on demand water heater?

[@zddxddyddw]

I'm glad you are getting used to rural life and are finding joy in the little, daily chores, that deffinitely helps a lot. I had no idea the sierras were THAT cold in winter, but I'll always take a Canadian's opinion on that matter very seriously ;) Maybe next winter you'll get to experience snow in Cordoba, there have been some serious snowfalls in the sierras in recent years. As always, I'm sending you guys all the love and support. I can't wait for you to finish the renovations to go spend some holidays there. Greetings from Buenos Aires

[@scotttan6377]

Interesting and frank discussion in living on the property . Has the water been sampled for quality in terms of knowing the level of contaminants - biological vs non-biological to have at least baseline which can then be compared in future testing ?

[@susanritchie9289]

I love this video and your comparisons to the city versus the country. Much sounds like my life in Vermont, except I do have a car and a well/water heater, and a washer and dryer. I hardly use the dryer- just a drying rack downstairs. But, when I travel, I wash my clothes in the sink nightly and hang them. You are such an incredible couple. Keep up the great videos!!

[@Bread_Garlichouse]

Hope you guys lift the World Cup on Sunday!!! 🤩🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@chusty93]

Calefon is not something just of the rural Argentina. It exists in most houses and flats in the big cities

[@vivianpagnucco5406]

That is rural living!

[@sojourneroftheland]

Anyone know what rural mountain town they are talking about? I didnt hear them mention it.

[@mathestruber1420]

Genial ❤

[@kindle7191]

What direction does the water swirl down the drain? Asking for a friend.

[@imasoftwarrior]

Hi!! Is it easy to go to the supermarket? Or do you have to catch that bus to go to the market?

[@rainbowseeker5930]

They live in an isolated place, and not having a car they have to catch a bus.

[@gabrielagallegos2967]

Cuándo van a hacer un nuevo video ? Que sea largo . Así me entretengo

[@Cesarl1467]

Water pump is very easy for a plumero to automatize

[@samuelandaudrey]

Something we're definitely considering for the place we're renovating. Thanks!

[@Slam-]

Go Mooseheads! I wasn't expecting to see that hat and shirt in a video about Argentina! Cheers from Halifax!

[@danielpiccinini]

More humane type of life. Its beautiful. You will live longer.SALUD. godbless.

[@brandonlerae]

three stars!

[@charlenecarrera7220]

I understand. Siempre maňana. That used to drive me nuts 😆.

[@jamescoad7174]

Where is this hotel located? I can’t find a location anywhere. Thank you!

[@bloodynorahvan2203]

I love what you guys are doing, your life choices and how interesting you make it for all of us, truly 🙏

[@arturocambiasso9447]

Porque no lo dejas en piloto para que se prenda cuando necesitas agua O pone un termo tanque Por otro lado pues poner un automático en el tanque ara que se llene solo Como lo contas parece que cordoba esta en el medievo.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

This a great way to compare the mountainside to Canada 🇨🇦 Anyway who knew you had to pump your water?

[@cousinbilly1259]

float valve in tank, no more switch on/off, wont burn up flow thru water heater either.
