#16 - Fixing the Dangerous Road To My Off-Grid Paradise

- A huge milestone has been accomplished...
One of the largest challenges of this property, is it's access. The road has not been maintained in ages, and that resulted in some bad (and even dangerous) roadpoints, making it hard to do anything on the land.
But now, the road has been fixed to the point that bigger trucks can now pass and drop off materials etc.
This has been a slow but necessary process to set up the base of our projects.
I'm on a journey to design and build my own permaculture farm in the Dominican Republic, and seeing projects like these absolutely inspire me.
Hope you'll enjoy this episode of road creation...
Join me in this journey!

If you're interested in sustainable living, permaculture, sub-tropical agriculture, tiny houses or anything in between, I think you'll like the content on this channel.
In 2022 I bought a piece of land in the North of the Dominican Republic to prototype a new way of living.
Food:
I want to grow my own food but have no clue about how to do it, so this should be fun.
Shelter:
I'm planning on building my own cabin, outside toilet and kitchen, gazebo.
Energy:
Want to be fully self sustainable through either solar energy or hydrogen energy.
I have somewhat of an idea of how this is going to go, but mostly, it's improvised.
---------
I'm absolutely open to tips and ideas, so leave them in the comments
----------
My priorities:
1) Do a good job on the land
2) Have fun
3) Document it well
That means, at some point, you might have to tap into your own imagination to fill in the gaps ;)
UPDATE:
One thing we found out, is that actually the governor was not created by the river chipping away at the road... we discovered that area actually used to be a mine for rock... so the owner of that property literally just took more and more rock, destroying his own road haha.
So that does give me hope for the sustainability of the fix... but we shall see once rain season comes around ;)
Thank you for fixing the road less traveled
Hehehe, next project: Building a stairway to heaven ;)

Rapido rapido!
Love the road! Como quisiera poder regresar a mi país y poder vivir así 😢 mi Quisqueya bella
Thanks!!
Yeah it's such an incredible island... Are you planning to come back?
Maybe you should dig a pipe first so the water can flow under the street and can’t take away the street. And fortificating the hill side with big stones so it’s more protected from heavy rains
Yess, these are all slolutions we've discussed! I think in the near future we will implement this!
It’s happeninnn 🎉
And we're stoked about it!!!
