Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

[@OrlaBrady-of5nm]

Hi it’s so great to hear your voice again Bee , hope your doing ok takes awhile to get back to yourself but you will get there,and don’t be lifting anything at all heavy!,,,,, ❤

[@marirose19]

⁠@@OrlaBrady-of5nm @TheIndieProjects Exactly! Pls follow post-op instructions dearest Bee & add some extra time to be extra safe. I've always been told not to lift more than the weight of a plastic gallon of milk (which I don't drink but I know what they weigh). Happy to say I watched this three times. Loved all the music. Have watched every vlog in this vid & in the playlist. I'm a huge Indie Projects fan. Love you both so much. Glad you got to be together for Christmas. Ty as always for all the education you share here & on other social media. Speaking of which, I always chuckle on your profile page there bc you list your names but reverse your pronouns, unless....🤔 Lol!

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

So within a few seconds of the start of this video, this 75 year old man had tears in his I eyes and I don’t mind admitting it. To hear Bee’s voice again after so long was amazing. I know you are still recovering but making this “Looking Back on the Last Year” video would have given you so much enjoyment. I am total blown away with the determination you both showed after the Fires then Floods. You both have a dream and it shows you won’t give up on it. I have followed you from the start of the other property, and looking forward to 2024. Sending my love ❤ to you both xxxxx❤️💙

[@marirose19]

@stewartwilkinsonsnr I absolutely love your comment & couldn't agree more. Blessings to you, dear man.🙌🏼💛✌🏼

[@rrhopewell]

Miracle mountain is saved by two Miracles. You two are a blessing to such a beautiful place. It shows by your determination to stay the course to give it back it’s beauty.

[@mirandabruning3953]

It is so wonderful to hear your voice Bee. You sound so much more full. Full of life and love. Welcome back beauty❤

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

It’s hard to remember how it was after the fire now. The Earth has renewed most of it and you two have done the rest.🤗 It’s good to hear your voice Bea. I hope you’re feeling wonderful now. I know Theo is happy to have you back and so are we.❤️🤗🐝

[@paulettemorgan9728]

My favourite DIY couple. You guys are incredible. Your energy and strength, both physically and mentally is admirable. Keep strong Bea. I'm of the firm conviction that a couple who either travel extensively together or build a home together will stay together. You've done both so you two are gonna be around forever...

[@theindieprojects]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@carolbulmer8253]

Welcome back, Bee… it’s so good to hear your voice and to see your beautiful face❤️🙏 This video was beautifully done! I had watched each video when it was first uploaded… seeing all the videos as one showed the immense amount of work that you both did to bring Magic Mountain back from the fire and the flood. Bee and Theo, you are an amazing team! I love you two❤️❤️

[@djackbar504]

Thank you both for the "year(s) in review".😮 And to know that its just been the two of you for the most part. Amazing 😊

[@thizizliz]

Oh golly, I'd forgotten about the cement mixer. This was good to see all together again. That lintel and the pond are the most amazing. Theo you really worked hard to make progress while Bee was away so she'd come home to great changes. I'm totally impressed. You're both such hard workers and really make incredible results. Good to see you back on the land Bee.

[@RenayEmond]

✊🏽🍀Here's to 2024 being the BEST YEAR 💝You deserve it💯 Really enjoyed hearing Bee's lovely voiceover❣ Sending Great Gratitude & Appreciation, Big Blessings & Love, Many Mercies & Joy, All the Compassion & Luck🍀🙏✌🏽✊🏽❤ May All be free from Suffering

[@debbierelph9715]

WOW!! so much has been done already! What a nice-looking property, you two are awesome!

[@irenemathieson4229]

What I find completely astounding is how hard you both work! Theo has to be the hardest worker ever. Rewatching these videos was so enjoyable, I can only imagine how proud you must be of Miracle Mountain. Thanks for sharing your story and life with us. ❤️

[@janetkoball44]

Bee, we are all so happy to hear you again. We have missed you so. Theo has been doing a grand job on so many improvements but you are half of these videos. I hope you are feeling a lot better. From Central Oklahoma.

[@danitakersten345]

I enjoy every video. Thanks for this walk through the journey. Your resilience is admirable! Your home is looking amazing. Looking forward to your next video!

[@joanhowze5644]

[@SJC49]

I wonder what you would have been doing on Miracle Mountain in the past year if the fire/flood had not happened? Work on the old stone house? Anyway, the past year has certainly tested your character, resolve and dedication to your partnership and the property. Really looking forward to 2024 accomplishments - as I’m sure you both must be! So good to see you back, Bee! (Bea? Wish I knew the correct spelling.) 😍🇨🇦

[@mumstheword8]

Those were my thoughts as well when watching this video. At least they now know their land very well and how everything works on it. Excited to see what this year brings for them.

[@mariliaamaral4921]

Beautiful video good team work. All your dreams for 2024 to come true you deserve working very hard. Your place is paradise.

Sounding just awesome, Bea! The two of you, together, create a very strong energy, as evidenced by what you have overcome, and what you have created from ruin! Thank You for this video!♥️

It's phenomenal just how much you've accomplished in 12 months. The goat shelter and fencing, clearing so much along the road into the main house, clearing all the orchard terraces as well. When you get discouraged I suggest watching this to lift your spirits !

[@TheGoodlifeoffgrid]

Fabulous work and all the best for the future this year 🎉😊

[@bridgetpainter8194]

You have both achieved a lot after all the fire and flood devastation. The fire destroyed virtually the water system. You both have done a tremendous job reinstating these. Well done.😊

[@connieverbeck1110]

Bravo!!!! You have made so much progress!! So glad house and garage. Look forward to all you will accomplish this year!👏👏👏

If you listen to the music you are playing in the background, while remodeling, it's no wonder you accomplish so much 😊. You guys are work horses & do such a remarkable job ❤

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

Hello Bee & Theo, I'd like to echo all of the great comments plus tell you both how much enjoyment you have given us Old Folks. Every time Theo is out working, cutting down trees, building chicken coops or clearing out the old barn, we are right there with you wishing we could help make your load a little lighter. And Bee, the keeper and care taker of all things with legs feathers, horns or what have you. We right there with you too, feeding, mucking out the trailer, laying hay and loving each and every animal in your care. We can't express just how much we love you guys, so on that note, take care of yourselves first, be well and we'll see you on the next one ~ 2024 will be another year banner of firsts on Miracle Mountain.🌲⛰🙏🐱 The Old Folks ~ 💕🤗Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾

[@habsgirl59]

So glad to hear your voice again Bee. Excellent job on everything over the past year.

[@carmelleabron4058]

I'm glad you both are healed, happy, and ready for 2024. I wish you both the best, as you seem to be hard workers, but you're working for yourselves instead of putting so much effort into something for someone else. I admire that about you both. Happy New Year and take care.

[@lyndacuppage7353]

What a massive amount of work!!! But somehow, you wonderful people, managed it!!! Theo, you're one of the strongest man I ever saw - and this is not by far about muscles! Bea is back and healthy, bless her 🥰!! You both are alive and kicking... quite more alive than most, and kicking that is a joy to see.

I have loved this episode SO MUCH, and I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you guys put into editing your footage together so we could see the progress! (And obviously also for the hard physical labor you did as well, just in case that’s not obvious! 😉) Sending you both Happy 2024 hugs!

[@miriammuskal5402]

Always fabulous work👍

[@abigailgerlach5443]

My heart breaks for you. Living at the foot of the Colorado mountains, we constantly fear fires through the almost vertical forests. When all you can do is get out of the way and watch your dreams collapse you know the true disinterest nature has. The flooding is worse because the mountains are saturated and there in no ground cover. Still, you began again and that is admirable. Well done! I love the Wyoming license plate! I'm originally from Casper!

[@where-we-roam]

My back is sore from just watching all that. Incredible work on your part. Theo "The Undaunted." Looking forward to seeing the "lake" back to its former glory. Truly amazing. Well done.

Fantastic to see and hear you back. Bee just take it easy for the time being we all know that Theo as miss you and be glad to have you back and the animals miss you. leaked care xxx

I’ve been watching since beginning off grid homestead, townhome, and Miracle Mountain. Theo is an amazing and talented man, so strong physically and mentally. Bea is looking good and hopefully all her health problems will be a thing of the past. Best wishes for the New year ahead. Wish you two peace and health for2024.🎉🎉❤😊

[@Tessienz]

Bea, so great to see you regenerating back to full health as is Miracle Mountain. Best place for you to be, alongside your soulmate Theo. Amazing what you both have achieved on this beautiful property. Feel privileged to be able to share in the pleasure of your achievements from afar - here in Perth, Western Australia. ❤️

[@julietprentice1103]

You are both such hard grafters, and had so many challenges, well done for everything you have achieved so far...it's looking absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤

[@TheMardi45]

Nothing deters you two. I know it takes, shakes, you to to the edge but you two pick yourselves up and just get on. I'm sure you inspire so many to have a go. It's obvious that you have both faced incredible challenges, without being defeated. It's a great video. And hope Bea is recovering well and things will be easier. You are both young, so take care Theo and don't over do it. 💗🐓🦂🐞🦋🐝🐤🐐

Welcome back Bea! You have worked hard and done an awesome job repairing and restoring the land and structures. Theo is so talented and works hard. You are both blessed.
