The Man Living in Complete Isolation for 40 Years (Part 1/4) | Far Out

Since 1965, Faustino Barrientos has lived alone on the shores lake O'Higgins' in a house built from the remains of a shipwrecked fishing vessel. He's a pastoralist, living mostly off the land and his livestock, with few modern amenities. His nearest neighbors are in Villa O'Higgins, a small community of several hundred people, 25 miles away, accessible only by a two-day horseback ride through rugged mountain animal paths. Every few years, Faustino makes this ride to sell his cattle in town.
Currently 81 years old, Faustino is reaching the end of his life, and his self-imposed isolation is being encroached upon by the forces of government, economy, and tourism. In December 2011, VICE went to document his lifestyle and speak with him about the changing face of Patagonia and the gaucho lifestyle.

[@anuragcvsr7169]

Hi guys, if anyone want to shed light on this, please! I was wondering about a thought about Faustino's life, we all get this notion that we have to do something with our life (achieve something, enjoy, wealth, status, respect, love, relationship, explore, invent, create, etc). On the contrary Don Faustino hasn't had any of these, lived almost sober life for 40 years. Obviously, he was farming, herding and surviving, reading. But broadly he was just surviving or passing days of his life without doing anything meaningful. But, my question is, would it be wise to say that his life was a meaningless life or to be blunt, a failed life and he a failure. Note - I'm not judging him, I'm not even one to judge. I was just asking question to myself and couldn't get some good perspective so i wanted to ask you guys out.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

That's true , you can be lonely in a crowd and content by yourself. You can't say that his life or the things he did were meaningless , only he can decide that.

Daisy Chain I wrote a lot of songs and music, began to learn what kind of person I was. I am somewhat of an introvert, quite fine being alone and relish the times I get a chance to not be bothered. I also have ADD which makes it difficult to focus on things, when you do the same thing every day, get into a strict uninterrupted routine without anyone or anything to bother you or change your plans, it makes it much easier to focus on things. I also spent time doing stuff out in nature, exploring the local area, I had bought chickens and raised them, I also had a dog. I did work, but it was alone at night in the middle of nowhere. I would occasionally see people, but didn't have much in common with them and due to my location and the night hours I worked, rarely communicated.

I got to be honest, I really identify with this guy. I spent nearly 2 years alone, hiding from the world. Once you get used to being alone, you don't want it any other way. Other people just get in the way, and it can become frustrating to have to accommodate people, when all you want is peace and quiet. To be alone with your thoughts, a book, whatever your interests are. What I see when I see this guy, is what I might have become had I not let the world back into my life. Even after I did, it took more than a year to feel comfortable again. And even now, I miss the solace of being alone. It really is strangely addicting, once the pangs of loneliness pass in the beginning. (It all depends on the person how long that lasts. Depends on how tethered you are emotionally to the world, family, friends, etc. But it does pass in time, its almost like social withdrawls.) I actually think it is a good experience for a person to go through at least once in your life. It gives you perspective, teaches you to collect your thoughts, and be practical. I wouldn't give that experience up for anything. I learned a lot about myself in those 2 years. I learned that I don't need anyone to survive but myself, and knowing that gives me a sense of calm I never had before on some level.

I remember watching this documentary back in 2012 (on StumbleUpon) as I was graduating high school, wondering how my life would turn out. In fact, it was how I discovered Vice. Now I'm 29, and looking back, I feel a nostalgia tinged with pain from events in life (both world and personal) that have happened since then. I'm not as happy as I used to be: post-college life is incredibly dull--I miss being in college. I feel that this old man is/was happier than me.

[@ig7567]

As Chilean and having been in Villa O'Higgins before it's critical to emphasize how crazy lost this little town really is. Just to get there it's an 11 hour non-stop gravel drive from a little airport that's 3 hours away by airplane from Santiago. Once you get there, there's a long boat ride to get to this man's place. That's the easy way of getting there these days, just imagine how was it like only a couple dacades ago. Months if not years to reach a place like that. Patagonia and it's neverending lost lands never ceases to amaze. Thanks for sharing this documentary.
