[@gallici-anima-christiana]

You work for yourself and you take 9 to 5s to build up the capital to invest money or to be able to take loans. Unless you can start the next big start up tech company or something else, you should thank god for having jobs in your area! That's what will allow you to buy the piece of land that you want so that you can turn it into your dream property. I leave in one of the most remote areas in the country side of France, sure you don't get all the annoyance of cities and urban centers, but you won't get hired for your qualifications and payed for what you're worth to a company in a 2 hour circle by car. You have to choose at some point and I wouldn't change it for anything, but you can make out the most of where you are! Cities get you a lot of opportunities, the country side a clearer mind, places to recharge and less distractions. There will always be something to complain about wherever you go. But you have to start where you're at to get where you want to be. Imagine what you want, plan it and execute, you'll get there sooner or later. Doesn't matter when it happens, the key is to not stagnate and to keep moving towards a goal.

By removing all the foliage around the stream, you just shortened it's life significantly. Without roots to slow the water down, it has no way to stay on your land, it'll just run dry.

modern villa? fuck that. semi-natural building is the better way to go and switching to permaculture in your garden is a favor to yourself and nature

[@LiveLNXgaming]

​@@NakedAvanger hows that exclusive to the modern villa idea. I think your confusing villa with estate. Villas were small farming compounds. A villa will have local production and many housing units to support itself and its community. While not as established and incorporated in trade as a town, it was not uncommon for villas to sell overproduced items (wool, textiles, or crops) to nearby towns. permaculture and hugelkultur are just techniques and should absolutely be used in any and all urban garden or new agriculture set up. As for simi-natural buildings, again ya. not mutually exclusive. This project is using combinations of containers and rebuilding ruins while using locally sourced materials so I'd say it fits that better than most places. You don't have to call it a villa but it is very much like a modern take on that idea considering how they are planning to reconstruct the large ruin. With the exception that its likely where they (the owners) will live full time as opposed to just one of many.

Those trees being cut in the opening scenes look like acacia dealbata, a great plant to have growing as it has so many uses. It's great firewood, it coppices well (Not the greatest attribute if you're trying to get rid of it.), it's a legume so is a nitrogen fixer (Works great with the coppicing as the relationship with the bacteria breaks down and the stored nitrogen is released into the soil and made available to other plants.), great for some simple structures such as yurts (Can grow nice and straight. Also looks like you used it for garden edging.), and can provide an amazing amount of mulch to feed other plants.

this literly made me cry, i got rn so much stress paying rent, bill, power surgerie for everything and i think how you guys do this all is really the way to live for a human. building things up fixing them thats so cool and incredible Hope u all do better then me bless you

[@janetissabelle]

Glad for the recap,it was good to remind myself of all you achieved so far,looking forward to the plan xx. Welcome back!

8:26 get some PTFE tape on that, in my experience make sure all your joints are sealed by things other than just the threads! Very good project though, good luck

[@simminglybeautiful8465]

This is honestly so wholesome 😭 literally a dream of mine and just seeing the love and care going into this making friends helping others living the land ❤ ugh I'm in America 😭😭😭 we don't have much of that here, just coming togetherness.... I love it!!! New subbie

[@aestheticfitness1354]

Doesn’t exist in my part of the UK either, sadly everyone is caught up in a rat race of who has the best car and who has the best house, consuming all only to realise life was just all too short. The community depicted in this short documentary in Portugal is incredible!!! Watching clips similar to this just ignited that desire to venture into the unknown for an adventure… The only thing stopping me is money

[@meloniestewart2940]

Small steps begin at home eg. container or vertically grown vegetables if you have no other space, find like minded ppl, backyard communities, community gardens, back to basics, caring, sharing, bartering. Dream BIG!! Hold on to your dreams. Be positive. Blessings & good luck to you all 🙏🏼

[@lonkslonkolious4916]

What do you mean we don't have that here? 95% of the country is pretty much empty, lol.

@@simminglybeautiful8465 Go to Zillow and look up lots/land for under 20k, remove the boundary and zoom out. The whole country is packed with tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of little red dots, each representing acres where you could do the same thing as they're doing in this video.

I LOVE this. There is something about starting basic and leveling up. Almost like in Minecraft or other adventure games ;) I wanted to start my woodshop and a channel at the same time and show the whole learning process and see where it goes. I never did as I wasn't confident in starting both at the same time. I love starting new things to learn cool and new things....but I hate finishing them ;)

[@DreamingConcepts]

"starting basic and leveling up" oh man, if only was the real-life that fun and easy

What Amazing neighbors. I loved that they let you use the old well. I loved that they fed y'all. (I'm from Texas so Y'all it is. 😉) So great that y'all help them too. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@grahamwatt9365]

This has easily been one of the most interesting and enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a while. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see season 2

[@Evøra_Studio]

One of my favourite videos i've seen on youtube. I loved to see the "entire" process of starting from the basic and then building yourself up.. super timing considering what is and is going to happen in the world. Keep up the good work, super cool! 👍👍👍 Greetings from Estonia

[@jeffreygriffith8123]

I love projects like these. Living off the land will always be a winner.

[@arieswildchild]

I love what you've done with the place, all by yourself and without harming wild nature. Me and my family are not strangers to hard work, we have a village house with a big yard and a small cornfield, we use tyo grow our food and fix stuff by ourselves, so I really appreciate what you do. And I loved the fox!

[@williamdarko1142]

I love stuff like this. I'm quite jealous of people with skills like this, and the ability to "live off the land" in some way as you do. If there's ever a zombie apocalypse or near species annihilating catastrophe, you lot would do just fine lol.

[@bluelunapixels]

Man I’m so glad I found this channel so late. This work takes such a long time and now I can just binge watch all the progress you made over the years!

[@MaricelaAmorMartinez]

I was so fascinated from beginning to end of this video, so much hard work but the land & wonderful community you have made makes it all sooo wonderful!

Might be a good idea to build a system to use the water around just in case a small wild fire starts near your camp. Even if the chance is small of happening it might come in handy one day. Waiting for the fire rescue can take long.

[@thetruebatman4632]

Completely fascinating. This is exactly what I have dreamed of doing for my wife and two daughters for years.

[@adumelial]

These are the channels to me are gems of my KZbin finds. I know what it is yo live off of the land as a teenager. I am now 61. So I relish watching! Awesome work you do. God Bless Your Lands! ~❤~

[@byclara209]

This video makes me so happy. I didn’t think there are people who do stuff like this😍 I think it’s awesome and would love to do something like this in the future, too💪🏻

Those bushes that are all over the place are Acacia Dealbata, an invasive species from Australia. We have a lot of them in northwestern Spain. Congratulations on your great schievements!!!!

Love this!!! My goal. I stopped traveling full time van life to work full time for two years to save money to buy land...then start building 😃

[@tomastelensky-vlog8723]

Amazing! Anyway, I think it is a mistake to remove the vegetation covering your water. In Portugal, strong sun will evaporate your water soon. Keep it well shaded, perhaps from trees so you can access the water well :-)

[@piposanchez]

I'm sure the neighbours knows the area and climate better than you. I would be surprised if they did not caution/stop them from making a "mistake" as you call it.

@@askrnningremnes6711 you couldn't possibly know this. Such a massive assumption to make. Generally speaking this would be true, but I don't think the neighbours would let them make such a mistake.

Same happened here. And i'm happy the algorithm worked well for once. Even got to see a familiar face helping out there.

[@robbie31580]

i wish we could dig as easily as you guys with your land. we have heavily compacted clay that's been used for cattle grazing for 150 years. it's like digging into cement lol. love the video!

[@Qopzeep]

If you want to do it by hand, look into getting a broadfork (grelinette in French). I live near the sea and my land is also quite heavy clay soil, which has compacted over the years. A broadfork loosened it up significantly! I think I only need to fork once more, while I continue to add humus-forming materials such as compost and leaves. Over time, it will build up and stay loose.
