I am German and just moved from Lisbon to the countryside in Alentejo in order to start my off-grid life. At the moment it's off-grid "light" in a small village where I want to learn the basics from the locals. I would love to see this documentary to continue!! All the best from Avis.
Thank you, glad somebody enjoy it! I recently opened a new cannel for reportages, it's called "A Camera and a Backpack" (th-cam.com/channels/5-HIPPIhyxCAw9xnvbznZQ.html) There you will find more and more of these kind of videos, hope you will enjoy them as well
I would really like to see an update on this great documentary, how are the people living there now, they are probably the least affected on the virus pandemic.
I stayed at Fiona's lovely place (the lady who was gardening) in June 2017, did a wonderful yoga retreat with her and stayed in one of their yurts. Such an amazing location with an absolutely gorgeous garden! Unfortunately the place was devastated by a forrest fire in the fall of that year. Their whole property got destroyed, all the yurts gone. I believe they ended up renovating the old little house that was on their land after the fire and moved into that. I do wonder what the place looks like now and if nature has recovered from the fire.
Thank you very much...I was just about to write back because I saw it in part 1...If I have enough money in the future, I was thinking of moving to Portugal, but the fires and eucalyptus are kind of scary...
true... but if you don't live exactly inside the woods it should not be a problem for your safety (and if you clean the woods from the dry leaves and the leftovers from the eucalyptus tree). So they say, then I don't live there, I'm only a videographer
I read it all the time. Portugal can give you this and that. Well; what do YOU give Portugal in return or do you just take. Even being lazy not learning the local language.
Thinking of doing the same as you, but did you build the cob house without planning permission? Im struggling to find latest information about living on land in Portugal.
Dave Richardson I don't know, I filmed him one year ago and I didn't want to focus on legal matters (which I would not have published anyway) only show the thing and place and people... I guess it's legal anyway if you don't put concrete in the ground
If you own the land and you're out of sight I doubt the Portuguese authorities would bother you , even if it's technically illegal . The laid back attitude has its advantages as well as its disadvantages
@@richardumfreville6914 no all of what you see in this video is illegal here, and the local council is sick of it.......many will be removed and fined at some point in the future from local word... make shit holes of beautiful places............. this guys toilet, right next to a lake, many of the large lakes here are used for drinking water and is why his idea of cutting down the trees close to the lake is also illegal, 50 meter boundary around the barrage must not be cut. if you have a river on your land anyone can walk there and graze their animals, fencing it is also illegal............... even a yurt needs planning permission and those caravans they bring with them, 6 months maximum and then can not return to any part of the same land for one year. The attitude of permaculture is great but not here, leaving land to overgrow is illegal and another cause of fires spreading not just bad eucalyptus owners!.......... and all land around any building for 50 meters must be cleaned by law, this is why these peoples places burned, wasting firemen's lives and time and helping spread the fires onto the forests they say they care so much about. not wishing to only put negative comments but it is the truth!
@@ProduzioniClandestine I understand. I 've asked because she said she had guest from Lisbon at their place ( renting as a business). Thanks anyway! Love your channel
Es increible que la gente solo comente con el ir a hacer este tipo de vida y no diga casi nada del destrozp que esta plantacion de eucaliptos a gran escala esta causando en España y Portugal.....
@@ProduzioniClandestine I stayed in Portugal for nearly 6 months. Was invited up North to a community of people, unfortunately i never made it. I almost never made it home either. I went to Lagos and almost became a victim of never to be seen again. I did however go to hippy markets, festivals and spent some time with a nice girl who was living off the grid just outside of Lagos. Overall, i had a wonderful time, and i shall be heading back there to set up home when i'm ready.
I live these videos. I'm thinking about doi g something similar on a small scale. Perhaps nearer the Algarve because I'd like to grow avos and perhaps mangoes and lychees.
Grazie Luca, mi fa piacere che ti piacciano. Le riprese le ho fatte 4 anni fa nel centro del Portogallo, vicino Pedrogao Grande. Un anno dopo c'è stato un grande incendio e le cose sono un po' cámbiate... Ma in molti continuano a vivere così
Hi Olivia! Thank you. I think I can't help you, last time I was there was in 2016... But I remember there was a useful facebook group, called "Pure Portugal", people from these videos and many more exchange this kind of information, hope that would help
12:00 almost PERFECT little piece of a documentary. Too bad the song is actually a BRAZILIAN song and probably no one in Portugal would know about that tune, I'm afraid...
@@ProduzioniClandestine bem, sendo um vídeo dedicado a Portugal, teria ficado melhor algo nativo - até porque alguns dos vossos seguidores poderão ter ficado um pouco com a ideia de que a canção seria mais ou menos tradicional portuguesa. Mas vá, concordo que não há regra nenhuma que obrigue a ser uma canção portuguesa. Embora o vídeo se focasse em aspetos mais relacionados com algo que ocorre em Portugal, na verdade somos todos um.
And if you unfortunately need to leave or sell your rural property in Portugal?, consider this alternative: Will save you a bucket of money: ruralgoat.eu/pure-portugal-vs-ruralgoat
You live for years in a country and don't learn how to communicate with the locals!!! A bit rude I think and how much are the children missing out by not learning the language. True Brits.
It seems to me that most of these people went to Portugal with not much money. The only reason I might not like it there is because I am a plant based diet and not much of a gardener. To me most of the people don’t look too healthy which makes sense. Meat, fish, dairy and eggs are poison to the human body.

Glad you liked it! (I'm working on more of these ones "off-grids", hope to get them ready soon)
Thanks for making this documentary! absolutely loved it.... I'm all relaxed now.... back to work in London tomorrow :-(
Glad it had this effect on you ❤️

How are you now ? It must be difficult to live like this regarding rules etc.
Great job guys cheer
I read it all the time. Portugal can give you this and that. Well; what do YOU give Portugal in return or do you just take. Even being lazy not learning the local language.
They give a lot to the place. Anyway, they're not guests, they bought their lands as anybody else

Really like these videos, which part of Portugal are they in?
Near Pedrogão Grande

Bei short docs Simone. In che zona hai fatto le riprese? Grazie
Grazie Luca, mi fa piacere che ti piacciano. Le riprese le ho fatte 4 anni fa nel centro del Portogallo, vicino Pedrogao Grande. Un anno dopo c'è stato un grande incendio e le cose sono un po' cámbiate... Ma in molti continuano a vivere così
Hi Simone! Great videos, well done;)
I'm around, would love to hear more about permaculture group, how to find you guys?

Too bad the song is actually a BRAZILIAN song and probably no one in Portugal would know about that tune, I'm afraid...
Sim eu sei, foram amigos que tocaram a canção. Mas não tem porque ser uma canção portuguesa

Don't worry, the people in this reportage are all vegetarians
