All delivered unedited, the truth about homesteading, life, and KZbin.
I'm Dan, I'm Simple Life Portugal, in North Portugal, Bragança region.

I laughed when you said that the gung was coming next to you. Your pets are awesome Dan, and you do a fabulous job

[@Susan-lh1fg]

[@owheatl]

The organization of the tools is a great step that will help you move through projects more easily. Sort of a parallel to life when our minds are focused. Onward.

[@annadaurie2435]

Love the shed Dan. It is great you have got the water control now. Hopefully, in the winter months, it will be easier to control the dryness of the land now.

[@traceystickland-mottram8021]

Land is looking amazing. The shed is outstanding too.😊

[@josiebriggs4922]

Love a mini break, glad you enjoyed yours, see you next week x

[@cathybrewer8958]

Your land is looking so nice and in bloom, got the water under control. And the rooster is so funny following you around.

[@kimsparks7871]

Hi Dan. Everything is so green and lush! Your tool shed is awesome! That must be great to get the tools out of the boxes. Glad you enjoyed your get-away and the animals all did well. Always have my first coffee watching your videos on Sunday morning. Hope your upcoming week is terrific! Take good care of yourself.

[@sueprice4082]

What an inspiration you are Dan. I lost my husband last year and am trying to cope with my garden alone in the UK. However, your land is vast and mine is small in comparison- I am much older but you definitely keep me inspired. Sue ❤

[@piaogilvie8463]

Your living vine fence is fantastic. Imagine how it'll look in a year's time. I bet it'll be amazing🍇🍇🍇 With all the energy you're using, you must increase your carb intake, Dan 🙂💪 Be well☀️

[@elizabethkruger3425]

Thx for showing us all thats happening. Stay well. 😊

[@ellentaylor4351]

Always work and maintenance when living off grid. All will become good in time. Keep plodding on in time it shall show results.🇬🇧🌼🍃🌾

[@BVAustralia.1987]

Always nice to get away for a few days. Tools shed looks great.

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

Glad you enjoyed your time away. The homestead is improving, the artichokes are looking great it will be nice having fresh one to eat. Enjoy your weak.

[@helenlouise_]

Glad you got away and enjoyed your break. "A change is as good as a rest" All your hard work is paying off, I see. Enjoy your Sunday too, Ciao 😊

[@SusanZiegler]

Those calla lilies are gorgeous!

[@mariatajes9054]

Wow,that shed looks fantastic 😍

[@patriciapoyanestebanez408]

Que buena pinta tienen esas alcachofas !!!!!💚💚💚

[@Grace_x68]

Wow Dan, you're quite the neat freak. The toolshed looks awesome. I'm going to steal your idea for the top shelf for my sewing room for easy access. My dad was carpenter and always told me sewing and carpentry has only two differences... carpenters tools are way more dangerous and fabric is way more forgiving than wood. Love your homestead. Have a super week 🤗

[@thesmudge1353]

As ever you say you haven't done much and then show us lots of work done. Glad you enjoyed your break, a change of scenery now and then is good for us I think.

[@shehazi695]

Thanks for sharing your week with us Dan. Glad you had a little vacation. 🙏🏽

[@donbachand7967]

Hey Dan. I just want to make sure that your shed is mouse proof. It’s amazing how much damage they do in a short period of time.

[@shuhubrafik1411]

Organizing and decluttering is very helpful for one’s mental state ! You have put all your energy in the land ❤️❤️

[@tessaelvan2939]

tool shed looks great, love the pond but not the snakes, it really does look great the land and plants and the waterways. thank you

[@MsUbuzzme]

You seem so positive and rejuvenated from your break in Lisbon. ❤❤❤

[@mgp1953]

My app says that it is water parsnip (a member of the carrot family) that has little white flowers in clusters.

[@katiemalone323]

Thank you for sharing with us Dan, you are a real inspiration.xx

[@JoyBilyeu]

Blessings

[@Karmadontmiss50]

Dan, the homestead is looking great, the shed looks so good, I think the cat was proud of it😊

[@alvaalvarado2587]

I'm glad to see you more animated, you have made some short videos, I love how you continue life, fixing the land and the house

[@busybeaver793]

it is always good to get away even for a few days. The shed is looking organized. Everything has its own space. Take care and enjoy your week.

[@karenwoodall497]

You have done an amazing job, Dan. If I may say. You need to eat a little bit more. Especially now you're working on the land. ❤❤

[@stomas5640]

Hope you have a good Sunday🩷☕️

[@lidijafichtner7080]

Thank you for sharing 👍

[@dovacdn9671]

[@Yvonneb_]

Hi Dan, Everything is looking awesome, you are doing a great job with everything x x

[@BrynaPizzo]

A mini vacation restores the soul. The tool shed looks amazing! Congratulations on completing it and filling it with your tools. The artichokes, irises, grapevines, and fruit trees are lovely. Thank you for showing us around your homestead and your ever-present companions. Your videos are a visual and auditory delight! Take care and have a wonderful week.❤

[@desireehuls8356]

Great job on the shed Dan. Your organizational skills are amazing. 🙏👍👍

[@GraceSmith-e3o]

The land is starting to look lovely. So peaceful.

[@juneprice3977]

Wow! The shed looks really organized and nice.

[@Denymarie123]

Great update. I visited Portugal a few years ago loved Lisbon!! Tool shed looks awesome!!

[@judymcgovern8454]

The shed is looking great Dan, wish mine was as good. Everything is looking good on the homestead, you are doing an amazing job. Make sure you look after yourself. ❤

[@debbielavers9836]

You may want to put some manure around the pear tree. It may help it after such a severe pruning. Things are really looking beautiful due to all your hard work.

[@sandiedrew4086]

Good Morning! Homestead looks so peaceful and pretty. ❤😊 You have a very organized tool shed. 🎉

[@lorimontcalm9086]

A change is a good rest. Your homestead is really taking shape. Your vision, dedication and hard work are really transforming it to a beautiful sanctuary. Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@ninaanetteassarsson4328]

I thought you went for the passport. Crazy expensive ! Your tool shed look amazing ! You can do a slide from your property right down to the creek 😁

[@annemariepratt4480]

Looking great . I am buying a new shed this month . I need organization in my life . My lawn tools are everywhere. Makes me crazy . Hope you’re doing ok . Sending healing ,strength, your way . 😊

[@johankriel1014]

Dan, it looks very clean and organized on the land. I love the innovation on the edge of the river with the grape vine and fruit trees. You changed the neglected situation. Are you allowed to build or create a route/steps down to the river? Your creations will prevent dangerous situations on the river edge. Well done!

[@spitfirered]

Great Job Dan, Your Property Is Expanding And Looking Marvelous, Wendy

[@micheledigrazia7863]

Super 👏👏👏

[@melinda5777]

Enjoyed the video! I love all the water features and Iris'!! Vacations are always nice! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇧🇻👣☘🤗

[@ladyrickysummers777]

🤗🙏♥️

[@elizabethsetterlund8160]

It keeps looking better😊 . How nice you found grape vines!

[@leannekudahl2432]

I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed a break from the everyday life on your homestead with friends. It seems to me you have achieved a lot in a small amount of time on your homestead. Thank you for sharing the tour around your land and the growth of everything. I feel that this was a great way to put out a video; sharing your progress on the land with a walk and a chat. :)))

[@meaquindinho541]

❤

[@julben27]

My daughter and her partner were in Lisbon a few weeks ago and really enjoyed their time there. Your walk in tool box/shed looks great and I’m glad you enjoyed your break from the farm with your friends.

[@angelaboschetto9106]

Dan I am so proud on the achievement with the home sted. And that you are coping with the loss of your beautiful wife sindy. BUT I am sure sindy is looking down on you from heaven with mason and noticing you seem to be looking thinner. I know sindy would say you have a slimmer body and eat well and she bless her would say about her being more curvier. I know you will be missing her Tomatoes sauce and the delicious salads she prepared ect. But please make sure you eat a little extra . I hope I am not offending you by my comment. But we are all sindys warriors and keeping an eye on you now. And you are achieving so much in a small time. 😊

[@PaulineHilton-w7u]

Just saying hi love nyc

[@joannaa3927]

The walk in tool box is just superb. 🎉 like the perimeter path, it gives good access for maintenance. 👍

[@deborahwhite2339]

The homestead is looking fabulous. I wonder if that plant is wild carrot. 🙂👍🇨🇦

[@ritawells6876]

Great video. Yummy on the artichokes. I’m not sure if Michigan weather would allow growth of an artichoke. But I do love eating them. The flowers to them are beautiful as well. Glad you enjoyed yourself in Lisbon.

[@janinevalido]

I love your “well Sunday again” You idea of not doing much in the week is hilarious! You do more in one day than I hope to do in a week. Take care and see you next week. Try to start eating more carbs, you’ll thin by your genetics but you work so hard it’s hard to keep the weight on.

[@louiseswart1315]

I hope you get lots of sweet grapes from your fence.

[@nancibishof6462]

The pond plant is water celery also known as water parsnip and is part of the carrot family. All parts of it are edible and it has antioxidants which are good for you.

[@Reet64]

Wonderful to find the grape vines! Do you think you'll need to thin out the tree branches overhead to get more sun on the grapes?

[@RandiAkers-wq8tq]

The shed turned out great - your organization looks like a proper retail establishment. I hope that one day you will share some of your recipes- I am interested in what others are eating for dinner from around the globe. Regular meals not cooking show fancy food. Have a safe week and see you next Sunday.

[@claudia_ese8788]

yay for the walk-in toolbox: great improvement! Your land is looking amazing. To you, it may seem that nothing has happened, to me it’s just the opposite. Your landscaping efforts are really showing off! Nice to know you had some days off in Lisbon, well deserved.

[@tammiehunter5117]

Glad you had a break!

[@TheGoodlifeoffgrid]

Lovely work that grape vine is a wild vine i don’t think you can eat it I have the same on my land and was told is a wild plant. Just get it checked out. Take care 😊

[@juanitakauffman6336]

The apple tree looked like it had some insect problem as the leaves appeared to curl.

[@irislozinsky3960]

Happy Pentecost Dan!

[@lorrainewoodcock520]

You should do some weed wacker merch i love the name you use 😊

[@deborahreynolds1552]

Wow, you have been very busy, love the shorts by the way. The shed and its contents look ready for a brand new ProJet! Love It?

[@beeatdaybreak4499]

Looking good Dan! I have a question.....do you have woodticks? or do they only live in North America. I ask because I've found a few already this year in western Canada.
