What would your advice be to a young person who's inspired by your videos and wants to live a life like this?

It is a shame that you have a lot of Mimosa on your land it seems. It is a real plague. The old 'ruins' are just hastily built farm work buildings with those terrible blocks that are often on industrial style workshops etc.

So much more fun watching people work. Lately I've been watching lawn mowing videos haha. I hate mowing my own lawn though...

Just wait.

a true personal development experience in this video! , it is quite practical and easy to understand, you are right!

Very much agree. This helped. 25 acres. Good spread.

ok

Yeah Kathy.. This video is awesome.. They did a great job of making it condensed.. I needed to see this.. We have kind been doing the same.. (not as rough and I have no RUINS) but yeah.. neighbors with tractors helping out.. getting everything squared away again.. It takes a while (been 3 years now.. a lot of stuff still not done) hahah..

The first time I went to the Kalalau Valley, it was the day after the rangers were out there making arrests and destroying camps, which means the community pizza oven was smashed into pieces. By the time I got to the valley the next day at ~4pm, they had already built a replacement.

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.

Maybe there beavers

How did u buy land.how much

@@cupidok2768 there whites in Portugal

You would be amazed at how many foreigners buy properties in Spain, Portugal, Italy or wherever, inspired by (among others) these UKposts videos of french castles and italian villas, and then they live isolated from local life because they don't learn the language and don't make the obligatory effort of adopting the local customs. Plus most times rural people are not as friendly and welcoming as foreigners dream in their fantasies. Source: I know a bunch of british living in Spain and have family in Italy who know a bunch of british and americans living there. Most of these people only interact with their compatriots.

@@Davidman3976 Colonizer races do be doing that. British be coming to Malaysia, my country, to live here in their big fancy houses and not interact much except w their compatriots as well.

It is the same with foreigners here in Austria. They stay mostly with their people, it is also a problem of language, but also the of culture and that the Austrians are not very friendly and inviting to these foreigners.

@@Davidman3976 I'm sure the rural people loved that he's dammed up a stream so they can bathe lol Every person with land downstream is probably loving their neighbors while they ponder why the water level is so low now

@@freudbrahms254 surely calling them "colonizer races" will help

Mandatory PORTUGAL CARALHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Portugal sounds sick.

@@SnowMexicann cool place. And land is indeed cheap what you look on the mountain regions instead of beach areas.

I love that! I didn’t know the Portuguese were so hospitable 🥰 It reminds me of how people are where I live. If you were a guest at my grandparents’ house, you would immediately be offered coffee, food, soda, beer, etc. They would basically offer you things until you eventually said yes to something 🤣🤣🤣 They made sure you were content. Then they would talk your head off. They weren’t rich, but they would give you the shirt off their back if you asked. My dad made a lot of money, but my grandma would still try to force me to take her few little dollars when I was little. I remember always having to tell her no, then she would make me take it, and I would wait until she wasn’t looking, then shove her money back into her purse lmao! No way was I taking her cash lol. I miss them 😭💖

Wish America was more like that. You'll get it in the south out in the country but that's pretty much the only place left where people look out for their neighbors and help eachother thrive

Gotta keep in mind theyre also heavy though so you need to design around that

@@GlorifiedGremlin well, seeing as the structure is a shipping container, that probably isn't too much of an issue lol

@@Anayalator98 Idk I've seen a video where a guy used a shipping container for a bunker, and the roof started to buckle inwards with only 18 inches of dirt on top. Those containers are insanely strong on the corners, but aren't meant to take weight on the sides

@@GlorifiedGremlin They could reinforce it with some cross beams if they choose this solution.

@@TOH_Fan That's what most people have to do when burying them or putting lots of weight on top. Gotta use steel beams welded onto the frame

keep watching :)

@@ProjectKamp I'm more worried about the dark colour. It's going to add a lot of heat there next to our container, and next to the solar panels.

Thank you if fell it is too

Do it NOW and don't wait Life is so beautiful and you will find your way good luck

Not much of a carpenter if you think think the ramshackle bog land build full of poop holes is beautiful

Do it Jay! I actually have a smaller piece of land if you want to start a similar but smaller project in Portugal with a pit and fruit trees.

It can also be done in UK 🙏 There are some similar UK UKposts channels. Mossy Buttom is one of them 🌟 You just need to find like-minded people to work the land with you 🙏 Buy UK land ....before it is sold to foreigners abroad❗🙏

Good for you! Get out of the comment section and make quick work of it!

Where do you look, in what region?

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

​@@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.

Bravo! 😆⛲😫

thanks for this comment i really understand you i too have this same vision and understanding

Yeah you'll need the roughly half a million dollars to undertake an operation like this. You'll need to make A LOT of money before something like this is viable. It's all day work, so you can't have a traditional job, so you can't get a loan to do it. So you'll need to be fairly wealthy, and extremely liquid. Your parents told you that it's a fantasy, because it is.

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

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 🙏🏼
