Starting a homestead in Portugal from the ground up - Year 1 Time Lapse

"Not as easy as I thought"... prunning your Olive.. keep it going you're both doing splendid work.. good on you two.

[@HoneymoonCampers]

thank you ❤️

Great Job!!! Maybe consider building a temporary roof over the trailer and extend it over the front so you have shade from the sun and a place out of the rain. Another couple had the same issue with their trailer & they made a temp. shelter out of whatever they found at the recycling place or what others threw out..they even used old doors with windows for side walls.. Its serving them well. Good luck!!! Looks like an exciting adventure.

[@HoneymoonCampers]

That's a great idea! it would probably help to regulate the temperature inside too :-)) We need to think about this one, thank you for the tip! all the best

I can't wait until the day you harvest olives and take them to be processed into oil. I'm sorry this didn't happen this year perhaps November 2024 will be different. I love watching the Portugal videos and the transition from not having the skill set of harvesting olives to a first-time harvest is just the best. Green doesn't mean it's not ripe there are several varieties of olives. I'm not an expert I've just been enjoying videos from Portugal. Good luck and you guys are doing an amazing job, it's fun to watch your videos.

[@HoneymoonCampers]

Thanks so much. There is a lot we are hoping to still do this year but olive harvest is definitely one of the favourites :)

Gratulacje to musiał być satysfakcjonujący rok ! Podziwiam za ogrom pracy i serca jaki wkładacie w ogarnięcie wszystkiego własnymi rękoma. Cudnie to wyglada! ❤Aż człowiek sie rozmarzył czy aby napewno nie potrzebuje działki do swojego vana 😂Życzę już tylko słonecznych dni !

[@HoneymoonCampers]

dziekujemy bardzo!! planujemy mieć miejsce na 2 kampery więc kto wie, może kiedyś zaprosimy :D pozdrowienia

[@RevGerryRM]

It's funny, what you guys call a weed eater! And we use a weed eater to Trim the grass. Good job

[@HoneymoonCampers]

I have to say, "weed eater" does sound pretty funny too 🫣

[@keithwilds1579]

Hi guys good luck in future ventures, a word of warning any wood you use needs to be treated before the woodworms come calling!

[@HoneymoonCampers]

thanks! luckily wood for the fence was treated but compost bin wood wasn't.... 👀

[@keithwilds1579]

There are a lot of pit falls when starting your journey, so something else to look out for is pine tree processionary caterpillars, not good for you and quite deadly for any pets. Be safe.

You should collect the rocks from the property, fill in the ruts, AND THEN, put gravel down!!!!!!!!

[@HoneymoonCampers]

good idea. we'll see how the current solution holds up and readjust if needed

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

I just found your channel take care 😊

[@HoneymoonCampers]

take care ❤️

[@LittleChena]

So you don’t want to build a house, just living in the trailer?

[@LittleChena]

… also, you really butchered the trees. Sorry, to say so. That was hurtful! 😢

[@HoneymoonCampers]

we have a house project build approved by the camara and we are working towards building it

[@antoniodasilva1230]

The tree's are going to be fine

[@thelandofmint]

Oh my God! You've damaged those trees. Please you need someone who knows how to prune olive trees. It's NOT something anyone can do. I moved from London UK over ten years ago to the mountains in central Italy and first thing I did is I asked a local old man to show me how to prune the olive trees. Please, please, don't do that with any trees, ask, pruning trees is science/ a precise method to cut some of the branches to make the tree produce more. What you did with that olive tree will take years for it to recover, if it recovers. Please don't, it breaks my heart to see that done to ancient trees.

[@HoneymoonCampers]

that's good advice - appreciate it

[@antoniodasilva1230]

Dude the tree's are going to jump back I've had hundred year old olive tree's cut down one inch from the ground and guess what they are back almost twenty feet tall with instead of one tree it's looking like five for one and yes for these years they are full of olives

[@HoneymoonCampers]

thanks for this 🙌🏻

[@grahamsfarmportugal2022]

U alive? 😂 2months no video 😢

[@HoneymoonCampers]

yes we are! we're working on a new video as we speak 😉 thank you for asking!!
