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

[@westernwindkeeper2793]

He is one beautiful soul. He completely seemed emotional when you left him to go back. Like he knew, he would not meet you again.

[@gothicyum]

I felt sad when they said their goodbyes.

[@iusoloman1527]

You could see he realized at that moment that he enjoyed having someone around.

[@bubblegumbxtchh]

[@Djzommer1]

of course he knows he wont meet them again thats why its sad

[@gmoeytube]

Yeah I don't so. U don't rather live alone n done so for 40+ years n be sad someone is leaving cause they conversed with u for a couple days.

Thank you to all the reporters who made this greuling journey to give a outstanding report of Sir Faustino, a remarkable 81 year old Gaucho of majestic Patagonia, Chile. His life in isolation from modern civilization is not only a true testament of how the good life should be lived but is very inspirational. God Bless Faustino and Lancaster. 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻

for anyone wondering, Faustino is still alive! last report of him was August 19th, 2020. he looks healthy in the photos, accompanied by his two dogs :) to those who wonder where did these photos came from - a few police officers went to his home to bring him clothes and chop some wood for him and they (police) posted pictures of him, in their official twitter account.

[@biggsleezy]

this is my 2nd time watching this documentary, because the more I find it hard to make friends, enjoy a social life and find a job, the more I'm tempted to live like this guy.

[@geniemeadows5122]

the only trouble is he ended up murdering someone. Hope he repents of sin while there is time for him and commits to Jesus so he can avoid hell. But he is resourceful and a decent builder which is good. You would have to be a hard person too to slaughter animals. Unless you just lived off vegetables. But I think a lot of people see that as a romantic kind of life with the boat coming in every 10 days or so and total peace and quiet. A bit like living on a desert island. I am not sure how he makes his money? but he would have to eat his tinned food fairly fast too or the cans would go rusty. But I must say animals make for way more lovely company than people. So yeah it is more appealing in many ways to live like that. But I think its better if say 2 or 3 live that way in case you got sick or disabled.

[@geniemeadows5122]

and whoa 81 and he can get on a horse that's pretty amazing. It's nice he isn't cruel in that he doesn't keep his dogs tied up thank goodness. So glad some other guy is close by though because if Faustino dies his animals would go hungry. The seasons for him are the same for me (September is Spring).

Reminds me of my late grandpa. Most people called him a hermit. He lived in a small cabin about 50 miles from the closest town. No vehicle, no income. He shot his food & mined gold to get money. Eventually died in his late 80s because he fell off a cliff and laid there and couldn't get help. That's the chances you take, living in the mountains!

Initially you get the impression of a cantankerous old hermit living like some kind of troll in the wilds of Patagonia. What I see was a kind old man with an easy smile. He really seems to enjoy Lancaster living on his land, which again, defies the Faustino his family described. By the way, I completely believe that his nephew was stealing from him! If Faustino put some lead into his arse, then good enough for him! Long Live Faustino!

@Nigel Lush im sorry but im not listening to this bullshit. All you tried to do is pretty much judge me and my knowledge and act like you know something about me just takin wild guesses. Also i dont live in a city and i read a fuckin lot. Also that shooting a cop if they illegally enter is absolute crap because cops dont illegally enter your property, they are cops not criminals. Sure you won a case like that before lmao bruh i know your type youre all talkin , seeking for attention with bullshit stories. Just another keyboard warrior.... booooring

Wonderful to see this beautiful land, thank you for making that possible. Loved the subtle guitar music and photography. I would have liked to hear more from Faustino e.g. about his parents, his siblings, his love life if any. I always feel a pang if envy when I regard a man who has lived so close to Nature. Spring came earlier that year he spoke of. It’s reasons such as this keep a man young.

This series really proves that every story has 2 sides. His uncle specifically moved far away to avoid having contact with anyone.

[@awebreeze1]

He's a recluse who shot a murderer, protected his property from a thieving relative and just wants to live without chaos. Good for him. I liked him. A lot of comments about living this way are a fantasy when you think about actually working till your back won't bend, laying in mid winter in a cold cabin and having to protect your animals from weather and bigger animals. Tons of flies and huge mosquitoes by the water is enough for me to lay under my comforter and be grateful of an easier life. But this is what he chose and I respect him for that.
