Registrace 23. 07. 2023
We left our city lives behind and moved to the top of a mountain in Spain to live off-grid. We’ve spent two years alone, renovating an ancient stone house and restoring the land.
Since we moved here we’ve experienced some of the hottest summers in record, wildfires, floods, goats eating all of our trees, wild boar eating our vegetables and eagles eating our chickens. On top of all this we’ve been learning how to build a house for the first time on our own, in a language we have no experience in.
We believe very much in our vision, and will continue to overcome these challenges, and find peace and happiness on this magical mountain.
Join us as we continue to build our off-grid homestead, and become self-sufficient from the land.

OFF-GRID Living | FOREST FIRE EVACUATION | Protecting our 14 acre homestead | Building a fence #2
In this episode we finally finish the fence and are so pleased with the results. We also document the events of the forest fire.
Food Forest Begins: czcams.com/video/UnnxyDcbH0Q/video.htmlfeature=shared
Building a Fence Part 1: czcams.com/video/Cj5Kh8Lf2vE/video.htmlfeature=shared
Recently we planted our first food forest. A masterful step forwards for our homestead, a thing of dreams soon to be a luscious forest, laden with fruit, berries, and everything our family would need to survive. However, just like everything we try on this mountain, it all started to go spectacularly wrong when the mountain beasts decided to descend up it and create destruction. The jabali dug up all the small trees, broke down terraces, and used our apricots as scratching posts.
Week in week out we’ve been trying new methods to keep them out, then this week, the straw that broke the camels back, the mouflon broke in and nibbled the branches off pretty much every tree in the forest. We have had enough, the mountain beasts are about to get a serious shock, we’re going to build a proper fence, we’re talking galvanised steel posts, tensioned steel, fancy expensive fasteners, concrete, something that could stop an elephant.

We have a goal of becoming self sufficient from our vegetables in 2024, and for this to happen we need to build a polytunnel, so we can get all our seedlings ready for spring. However, with temperatures dropping to nearly zero most nights we need to move all our seedlings inside FAST! Unfortunately, to add fuel to this story, I have injured my toe and can’t walk, so Robbie and Sage are going to...

bit early for forest fires, wow...he's right not to underestimate it, you only fry once
😀🙃🖤💙🧡✌✌👏👏🏃♂🏃♀💃👨👩👦🦌🐒🐥🐦🐇🐛🐜🐝🐞🌻🌷🌳🍀🍁
is it cooler and chiller there on top of the mountains compared to the ground level in spain?

I'm sure you'll be clearing all the dead trees and branches from your land in case a fire happens again. Plant some flowers by your lovely bench, then maybe your wife will appreciate it more. 😉
Your laughter is so infectious, I shared it with you this day 🙂
this was awesome. :)
Hi an Aussie here. This is my first video I’ve seen of yours, what a beautiful view of the valley. I couldn’t really see the vision when you were making the bench but it really came together. Even with a built in leisure and business sides😂😂
Lady, the owl man is taking pics of your butt.
Terminei de assistir o último vídeo, agora só desejo felicidade pra vocês, e até logo😊 vou esperar vídeo novo ansiosamente..bjs
what was Robbie's work before this? He is amazing and a driving force. Sage is such an important part of this journey. I love the daily problem solving. I understand the need for the paid subscriptions, but don't you need people who watch and respond to be successful? Consider those few people you let behind your pay wall as influencers who bring you more people. Just saying. Love your family and your process.

Obrigado por assistir tantos de nossos vídeos e nos deixar comentários legais, nós realmente apreciamos isso, Mira! ❤️
I've missed you. I know many of these clips from watching since the start. Always great editing and visual story telling. Did these cuts covdr 2 or 3 years? I love the "I'll learn more tomorrow attitude". You might have enough material to do a before and after show. You folks will look the same, but your little guy gets better by the day.
Thanks Larry, that's a very sweet comment! We also love re-watching this video, to see Sage growing up, and the nostalgia of what this place looked like in the beginning, it was such a beautiful little donkey shed nestled far far away in the mountains! Now it is feeling more like home ❤️
G'Day from Down Under and your newest subscriber !!! Love what you are doing/done. I will live my Spanish life through you vicariously :) :)
G'day Richard! So great to have you watching from down under! Love it. Great to have you on the journey with us! ❤️

Ficou top ,seu incrível trabalho,vê seu filho subindo os degraus contruido pelo pai foi bom demais e sua esposa belissima inaugurado foi radiante.... um abração família linda...bjs bem Brasileiro com carinho pra vocês 😊
Oh I so agree that plastic won’t keep animals out. I hate to think what’s ahead if you don’t protect the tunnel with a sturdy fence of wood or chain link. All your hard work is at risk and you do work incredibly hard for your family💕Ruth
Thank you Ruth! Yes we certainly need to add some reinforcements thank you for reminding us! So much to do right now we just hope the boar are kind to us for a little longer until we manage to protect it! ❤️
U guys need to start filling that house with lots of kids. Get to work 😊
Haha thank you Paulo! We could do with renovating a little more of the house first, we're still living in one room upstairs! ❤️
Esse garotinho vai longe😊 muito inteligente, aprende rapido,ja.mostra que ele sera muito intelectual,tbm os pais sao uns excelentes professores, amei as escadas de pedra,ficou charmosa...um abração família saudações dessa humilde Brasileira...bjs no princepe Sage❤

Hey, congratulations on your beautiful CZcams channel. Your optimism after the many setbacks is inspiring. Thank you for allowing us to look into a part of your fascinating family life. A few comments, in all modesty: cement is a kind of super chemical superglue! Biologically undegradable, very bad for the environment! You use tons of it (a concrete roof ?) . Electric equipment (chainsaw, ...) is now equivalent if you choose from a professional range, with all that sun on that beautiful mountain in Spain, the solar energy seems exuberant to me. And finally, there is a special dry cement for securing posts: making a hole, place the post, pouring in dry cement and water and adjusting it, cement dries in less then 10 minutes, advantage: much less work, no more leveling supports. And finally: a drone provides beautiful images (just watch Martijn Doolaart's vlog) and allows us to participate even more. Keep on doing what you do, it's great (Bart from Belgium, using google translate)
Thanks so much for your comment and advice Bart! We did research concrete quite a lot before using it on our project, and as long as we didn't use additives (which large construction buildings use for strengthening concrete etc), then the only downside would be the alkalinity of the surface runoff during rain... which can be beneficial to some plants (although not good for others). Greenhouse gasses from creating the cement isn't good, but we understand that lime (which makes up portland cement) is naturally occurring and therefore doesn't impact the ground other than the alkalinity aspect. But we'll make sure to do more research! Chainsaw - we're definitely keen to get an electric chainsaw, thanks for reminding us, we're not a fan of how much oil the chain gives off onto the trees when we're cutting them, not sure if you still have that problem with electric chainsaws though?! Dry cement for posts does seem like a good idea thanks for recommending, aligning the posts takes the most time! We're big fans of Martijn Doolaard and would love a drone like his, we're just trying to save up some money so we can get one!
i feel like im watching a perfume ad lol bcuz of the constant body shots but regardless, your little family have turned this estate into a beautiful home, God bless!
Thanks for watching, a good summary haha! Hope you enjoy our other videos too! Let us know in the comments! ❤️
Me encanta veros, impaciente en poco tiempo escucharos hablar algo más de Español. Saludos
Gracias Antonio! Tenemos muchas ganas de aprender más español, pero desde que Sage llegó a nuestras vidas ha sido más difícil encontrar el tiempo, pero al final lo conseguiremos! Cada día aprendemos más! ❤️
Bom conhecer sua História 😊 Deus abençoe seu lindo príncipe, você e seu esposo.... um abração bem brasileiro 😊
Obrigada por todos os seus abraços brasileiros Mira!
Tô amando seguir vocês.... um abração bem Brasileiro.... felicidades família
Bonito proyecto vital. Os deseo lo mejor ¡¡¡
