Thanks Nick 👍all the best from St Helena 🌅😊

Thanks @hotelsemaforobares6384 👍we have lots of different little worlds packed into our tiny island 😊

@@whatthesaintsdidnext yes I know 😄

Hi Jess, thanks for stopping by the channel and your comment. 👍 You may be interested to know, St Helena was actually uninhabited when discovered in 1502 by the Portuguese. Although various ships/nationalities would call by, it wasn't until more than 150 years later, in 1659, that the first settlement was established, by the British. We remain British today. Best wishes to you from St Helena.😊

@@whatthesaintsdidnext oh thank you for the clarification

Thanks Jess 😊

Merci pour le commentaire et votre visite sur notre chaîne 👍 Meilleurs vœux de Sainte-Hélène 😊

Merci beaucoup, Michal ❤️😊

Hi @j2zel, doctors are recruited from overseas. You will find information about healthcare here: sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh/healthcare/

Hi @j2zel, a few decades ago there used to be dairy farming on island, however, lower costs for importing these items soon made the industry unviable. Chickens are kept on island, mainly as a source of eggs, although supply can be intermittent and even these are shipped in sometimes when there is a shortfall.

Hvala Ivane na komentaru. 👍 Ima mnogo ljudi na Svetoj Heleni koji nikada nisu vidjeli snijeg osim na televiziji!! svaka vam cast 😊

@relaxingmusic_sonocalm thanks for the feedback, lovely to read your comment 👍😊

Hi Stephen, thank you for that wonderful feedback ❤️👍 You are right about the different landscapes within the island. The really special thing is being able to walk freely in virtually any part of the island and the peace & solitude as more often than not you find there's not another soul in sight! Isolation within isolation! As photographers/filmmakers our favourite feature of the island are the stunning variety of soil colours found around the volcanic outer edges of the island, all shades of reds, blues and silvers that really shimmer when the light is right. Anyway, thank you again for your comment. When you do start planning your visit one day be sure to check out Travel St Helena for the best selection of holiday accommodation as well as top-notch customer support 😊 travelsthelena.com/

Hi Dave, if you are a supporter from the red half of your city you would be in good company standing at the seaside, lots of LFC supporters on St Helena 😊 Thanks so much for checking out our channel and your comment 👍best wishes from St Helena.

Hi Thabelo, it's probably safe to assume good math skills will be required for this role. Would suggest you consider contacting either ATNS (South Africa) atns.com/ or in the UK get in touch with NATS www.nats.aero/ for a more accurate response. Good luck 👍 Thanks so much for viewing our video and your feedback ❤️

Hi Zorina, thanks for your comment ❤️ Hope you do get to see St Helena for yourself one day 😊

@whatthesaintsdidnext ❤️♥️

Thanks for checking out our video, Karl 👍best wishes from St Helena 😊

@whatthesaintsdidnext Cheers for getting back to me.Yeah I love British military history and St Helena is absolutely steeped in it!🫶

😊🕷️👍

Nice to hear Naz 😊thanks for stopping by our channel 👍

Hi NOB, it's a nice thought but very unlikely to see any of these things anytime soon on St Helena, simply as there isn't the economic development to drive such things. Thanks for your comment and viewing the video 👍😊

Hi James, you should have a look at the St Helena Government immigration information, here: www.sainthelena.gov.sh/public-services/immigration/ The St Helena Public Service Jobs website may also be of interest, which is for recruitment of overseas workers: sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh/

@whatthesaintsdidnext thanks a lot

Thanks for the comment Sunset4Semaphores 👍 "pure angel fire" is a new one for us, but we're assuming it's a good thing 😊 Best wishes from St Helena 🌅

Hi Priyabrata, thank you for your kind comment ❤️ Best wishes from St Helena to India 😊

Sam Collins set the current record on 29 January 2024, bottom to top in 5 mins 4.19 secs. An amazing achievement for sure 😊

Hi Vincent, thanks for the comment and feedback 👍😊 We do have motorbikes on the island, not a whole lot compared to cars, however, lately we've noticed more scooters starting to be imported. There is very little flat road, most of the driving involves either up or downhill journeys so the vehicles need to have strong engines. Cars tend to be the vehicle of choice because of the weather, which is windy, wet and a bit chilly for a big part of the year. Best wishes to Jakarta, from St Helena ❤️

This is true, Sean. In fact, the flax on St Helena really was our treasure at one time. From 1907 to 1966 the island’s flax industry was a success. The plant was cultivated, processed and the fibre exported as raw material to make rope and twine products. Sadly, for St Helena, the business model collapsed as synthetic string took over. Today the costs and logistical challenges of exporting tends to be an obstacle for many industrial ideas, including flax (and even fishing!) A few island souvenirs are made from flax craftwork, however it is a tiny amount and it is a shame that we can't make more use of this resource.

@whatthesaintsdidnext a linen shirt and trouser costs almost the same as an acre of unprocessed flax so maybe producing an end product is a better option?

Thanks Sean, that's interesting to hear. It's very likely an idea that's already been put forward at some point over the years... although, now, the work to replace flax with the native vegetation seems like a very good idea as research has shown it is far better for the island's water security, along with other environmental benefits, as documented in other Cloud Forest Project films here on our channel.

@@whatthesaintsdidnext being an island I'm sure the lack of water is an economical issue so make money from the flax and build a desalination plant 🙃

Haha, yes, another good point. Believe us, all these conversations have been going on for years - the rate of progress is not because of a lack of good ideas 😉

@radleysmith7528 during our work documenting the St Helena Cloud Forest Project it's been impressive seeing the awareness in the younger generation of the Peaks National Park ecosystem. Very different to when we were that age.

Thanks for viewing the video and your feedback, Radley 😊👍

Indeed 👍 They all did a great job made all the more challenging by it being a sweltering hot day when we were making this 😊

Bayo, you should have a look at the St Helena Government immigration information, here: www.sainthelena.gov.sh/public-services/immigration/ The St Helena Public Service Jobs website may also be of interest, which is for recruitment of overseas workers: sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh/

Thanks for the comment and your feedback, @zapfanzapfan 👍 The landscape is quite dramatic, steep and sheer in places. We're happy to report, however, we kept Latisha quite safe throughout filming and just used creative framing to bring out the impressive terrain 😊

@@whatthesaintsdidnext 👍

Hi Christian, the Public Service Jobs website aims to recruit overseas expertise: sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh/ You may also want to check out the SHG Vacancies on their site: www.sainthelena.gov.sh/government/vacancies/ The other place to keep an eye on for week to week vacancies are the island's two main newspapers, The Sentinel by SAMS, www.sams.sh/the-sentinel-download/ and The St Helena Independent, www.independent.sh/ both are available online for a small subscription fee.

@zapfanzapfan there used to be fresh dairy, however, as import and storage costs came down the farming method became unviable.

@@whatthesaintsdidnext If everyone on the Island drank as much fresh milk as I do then a sizable farm (50-100 cows) would be needed. But tastes differ and some are lactose intolerant so maybe the market isn't big enough to support even one farm?

@zapfanzapfan you've actually summed it up quite perfectly there 😊 We've actually recently turned vegan ourselves (6 months today) and we know there are others on the island, plus with allergies and then simply tastes/preferences and other factors, not to mention the 4,000 pop size, we can see how it quickly becomes a real challenge to make a dairy farm work. In fact, the same applies for many more business ideas - the tiny market size is a real test for sustaining almost any small business venture. Even the island's fishing industry, with all those raw resources at our disposal, is struggling. You are not alone though, with those thoughts for fresh milk, we hear it all the time, even from people on the island.

@@whatthesaintsdidnext Oh, I assumed fishing was the major industry on the island and a major food source. I guess you could air freight in fresh milk for the few customers who really crave it as long as you have regular flights by relatively large planes anyway. I would, I don't like the high pasteurized long life milks and the powdered milk is no good either.

Hey Stephen, thanks for dropping by the channel and your comment. You are not alone in missing the ship 😒 that buzz around town on 'ship days' is a real missing for sure. Hope you do get to make another visit someday soon. Best wishes from St Helena ❤️🌅😊

Hi Cameron, hope you get to make the trip one day. January to May is probably the best time (weather) to visit. For the best holiday accommodation options, check out Travel St Helena: travelsthelena.com/ Thanks for dropping by our channel and your comment 😊👍

Sounds great, Jannah👍you know where to find holiday accommodation now if you do start making plans 😊travelsthelena.com/ Best wishes to you, from St Helena ❤️🌅

You're most welcome, @crown_of_12_stars 👍we've found OR Tambo can be a little confusing for first-time visitors or travellers a bit uncertain, especially with multiple people approaching you in the terminal offering taxi or guide services. Thanks for checking out the video and your feedback, good luck and safe travels ✈️❤️

Sounds good, Marie 😊 If you ever do want to move, this is probably the best place to begin your research: www.sainthelena.gov.sh/public-services/immigration/

There are actually a number of polytunnels in use on St Helena. Not sure if you can open this Facebook video, but there's a shot in there of some of the polytunnels in Longwood: facebook.com/TravelStHelena/videos/620283599587772
