Oh my00:00:04
[Music]00:00:14
scientist.00:00:15
[Music]00:00:29
We're Robbie and Amelia. We left our00:00:31
lives in the city and moved to the top00:00:33
of a mountain in Spain. Here's00:00:34
everything that's happened in the past 400:00:36
years. In November 2021, we bought this00:00:39
property from a lovely 87year-old lady00:00:41
named Papita. Papita showed us around00:00:43
her 14 acre land, hopping with ease up00:00:46
and down all the terraces, telling us00:00:48
her childhood stories. It had been a00:00:50
farm for many generations. They worked00:00:51
the land self-sufficiently with mules,00:00:53
grinding their own wheat, and harvesting00:00:55
75 tons of almonds each year from their00:00:57
trees. Our vision was to restore this00:00:59
old farm and create a self-sufficient00:01:01
off-grid homestead.00:01:03
We started by clearing the 2 km long00:01:05
dirt track and meeting the inhabitants.00:01:14
The first major project on the farm was00:01:16
to fulfill my ambitions of naked00:01:17
gardening in the wilderness. We marked00:01:19
our beds, set up irrigation, and planted00:01:22
our first produce.00:01:25
[Music]00:01:28
We then cleared hundreds of tons of00:01:30
stone and soil around the house to make00:01:32
a patio, cleared out many meters of00:01:34
ancient donkey manure, built concrete00:01:36
foundations around the entire house to00:01:38
improve its strength. We added concrete00:01:40
columns and beams to support the roof00:01:42
and knocked out the two retaining walls00:01:44
downstairs to create one big livable00:01:45
space for our family.00:01:49
I'm not even sweating.00:01:52
Our farm was missing some animals, so we00:01:53
built a beautiful hutch and bought 3000:01:55
chickens. In the first year, we had some00:01:58
wild weather, the biggest rain since00:02:00
1940,00:02:01
snow and a hot summer in which we got to00:02:03
know the local springs very well.00:02:07
We set out on planting hundreds of trees00:02:09
that would give us shade in the summers00:02:11
and produce food for our family. We00:02:13
learned about composting by collecting00:02:14
manure from the local shepherd, but00:02:16
didn't anticipate the two weeks of flea00:02:18
infestation hell.00:02:22
We planted 200 olive trees in an attempt00:02:24
at bringing in some income. After00:02:26
creating access tracks, digging holes,00:02:28
setting up irrigation, and installing a00:02:30
7,000 volt electric fence, 400 sheep00:02:33
broke in and ate them all. Little did I00:02:36
know, electric fences don't work with00:02:38
sheep. >> People say there's never a right time to00:02:40
have a baby, but it's fair to say we00:02:41
push that concept to the limit. And in00:02:43
April 2022, our lovely baby boy, Sage,00:02:46
was born.00:02:48
[Music]00:02:51
[Laughter]00:02:52
Papa, we have teeth.00:02:56
We dug around the base of the house to00:02:57
install a drain which would stop excess00:02:59
moisture. In doing so, the back wall of00:03:01
the house fell down. Building the new00:03:04
wall gave us access to the top floor of00:03:05
the house where we set out on renovating00:03:07
a temporary room so we could live more00:03:09
comfortably whilst developing out the00:03:10
rest of the house. We cleared the room,00:03:13
added a concrete floor, tiles, and00:03:14
furnished it.00:03:17
[Music]00:03:22
>> We then made the three biggest00:03:23
investments since buying the property. a00:03:25
solar system, a tractor ideal for our00:03:28
steep terrain, and a 100,000 liter water00:03:31
tank, which we've dug the foundations00:03:33
for, but three years later still haven't00:03:35
got round to putting up.00:03:38
Whilst waiting for our big water tank to00:03:39
figure itself out, and with water being00:03:41
pretty much the only thing we think00:03:43
about, the life force of this project,00:03:45
we decided to try a different method of00:03:47
storing water by building a large pond00:03:49
and swale at the top of our land. The00:03:51
first step was to automate our pump,00:03:53
which pumps the spring water 100 m up00:03:55
the mountain to the pond.00:03:58
[Music]00:04:06
>> That's incredible.00:04:12
>> Is it an excavator?00:04:17
[Music]00:04:28
We were getting into permaculture design00:04:30
at this point. Natural systems that00:04:32
would allow us to create a00:04:33
self-sustaining mountain paradise. The00:04:35
purpose of this pond and soil was00:04:37
three-fold. To capture the damaging00:04:39
flood waters that came down our land and00:04:41
divert them away. To store water for00:04:43
irrigating our trees and to help absorb00:04:45
water into the ground to help boost our00:04:47
spring.00:04:49
[Music]00:04:57
That is like proper clay.00:04:59
>> You could actually make pottery out of00:05:00
this.00:05:01
[Music]00:05:09
[Music]00:05:14
It's so steep.00:05:21
Okay.00:05:25
>> Can you put that one back, please? I00:05:27
mean, that's just impressive.00:05:33
This is all that's left of our seeds.00:05:38
Wow. Sage. The first green shoots. Oh,00:05:42
look. There's loads.00:05:47
[Music]00:06:07
Okay.00:06:10
Eagles,00:06:12
frogs.00:06:42
You know I'm going to fall in, right00:06:44
now, don't you?00:06:54
It's really bad. It's really bad.00:07:02
Our 50,000 liter pond leaking. The00:07:05
drainage ditch isn't deep enough. It's00:07:07
not good.00:07:10
We're going to have to go down there and00:07:11
see what damage that water's doing.00:07:18
[Applause]00:07:23
all the drainage ditches which I watched00:07:26
you fill in in your garden because you00:07:28
said that we'd never need them again.00:07:30
>> I Anyway, the pond was like terrified,00:07:33
overflowing like a torrent. It was it00:07:36
was which would have led to00:07:38
catastrophically it was a disaster.00:07:41
[Applause]00:07:53
James00:07:57
me. I've got a numb bottom.00:08:06
For us to achieve our goal of becoming00:08:08
self-sufficient from our land, we need a00:08:09
poly tunnel. We'll use the tunnel to00:08:12
grow all our seedlings for our vegetable00:08:13
garden, as well as incubating all our00:08:15
new trees for our food forest. We bought00:08:18
a secondhand structure online, painted00:08:20
the steel to prevent rust, and installed00:08:22
some wooden door frames.00:08:29
[Music]00:08:38
[Music]00:09:05
Robbie. He is now going to dig some00:09:07
trenches.00:09:10
>> Come on.00:09:13
[Music]00:09:24
I'm here. The big stuff.00:09:37
That's going to stay there for the rest00:09:38
of your life.00:09:46
If we made a giant sandwich, we could00:09:48
trap them in it.00:09:52
[Music]00:10:11
You put it on the wrong side.00:10:14
>> Yeah.00:10:21
[Music]00:10:26
And how's papa doing?00:10:27
>> Having a mental breakdown.00:10:29
>> You've been having a mental breakdown00:10:30
all day, haven't you?00:10:31
>> Yes.00:10:32
>> So, it's been great that you've really00:10:34
persevered.00:10:35
>> Every time I'm worried about the wind00:10:37
like damaging something and I go to00:10:39
sleep, I wake up in the middle of the00:10:40
night and it's so windy.00:10:44
>> Oh goodness.00:10:46
>> Wow.00:10:54
And I have to get out of bed at 2:0000:10:55
a.m. and run around doing the things I00:10:58
was supposed to do the night before.00:11:02
[Music]00:11:28
Yeah.00:11:34
Heat.00:11:37
[Music]00:11:48
That's a nice poly tunnel, man. Oh,00:11:52
the tunnel looks very nice. You know, to00:11:55
be fair, what I really like is the wood.00:11:57
Like, it does make it rustic and like00:11:59
it's not just a poly tunnel, you know?00:12:01
It's built with some love and thought.00:12:04
>> Yeah.00:12:08
Come in.00:12:24
[Music]00:12:32
D.00:12:36
[Music]00:12:51
Cheers.00:12:55
[Music]00:13:00
D.00:13:03
[Music]00:13:17
Next, our goal was to build a food00:13:19
forest. A masterful step forward for our00:13:21
homestead. A thing of dreams soon to be00:13:23
a luscious forest laden with fruit,00:13:26
berries, and everything our family would00:13:27
need to survive. We selected an area00:13:29
just above the vegetable patch, got the00:13:31
cultivator on the tractor, and00:13:33
cultivated the land to make it easier to00:13:34
plant into.00:13:39
>> We chopped down the dead almond trees00:13:47
[Music]00:13:53
and started getting our first plants in00:13:55
the ground. a mixture of support species00:13:57
which provide shade and mulch and some00:13:59
fruit trees.00:14:04
Then we set up some irrigation.00:14:06
>> The fridge.00:14:08
>> How much of the night were you awake00:14:09
breastfeeding baby?00:14:16
>> Secret places.00:14:21
I go now as far as I can tell.00:14:28
So, >> we spent three weeks doing this food00:14:30
forest. We've researched everything,00:14:32
bought the irrigation, set it up, made00:14:35
our own chicken compost.00:14:41
[Music]00:14:52
[Music]00:15:02
Oh god, they've literally gone along.00:15:07
That irrigation line used to be straight00:15:09
and there was like two trees there.00:15:14
They've even pulled this bankal wall00:15:16
down. Big rocks. They00:15:18
>> they use this as a cleaning post. It00:15:21
must be a huge animal.00:15:23
>> Dudes totally broken our wall. It's like00:15:26
two steps forward, one step back, but00:15:28
more like two steps forward, three steps00:15:31
back.00:15:33
So it's like we shouldn't bother being00:15:35
here.00:15:36
>> Just trying to like make myself feel00:15:38
positive again about just life.00:15:41
>> That night, the arrow broke in and ate00:15:43
pretty much every remaining tree in the00:15:44
forest.00:15:47
[Music]00:15:59
[Applause]00:16:07
I am a one. I am one for you.00:16:15
[Music]00:16:17
I am one. I am one for you.00:16:26
Don't ask me how I know. I know it's00:16:30
true.00:16:33
I am the one. I am the one.00:16:37
>> All right. Only men can do this.00:16:40
There's a dream.00:16:43
I am the one. I am the one.00:16:50
[Music]00:16:58
I might not have my own money. Well,00:17:02
steady far as I can tell00:17:06
my00:17:14
[Music]00:17:19
[Music]00:17:26
[Music]00:17:35
this next one.00:17:37
Those times you hear a noise outside.00:17:50
I am the one baby make you cry.00:17:54
[Music]00:18:00
I am one.00:18:09
You know my name. I'm going down.00:18:21
going to rain down.00:18:36
Oh god,00:18:38
this is actually just really beautiful00:18:41
and exciting and lush.00:18:45
>> We set out with a vision to create a00:18:46
food forest which could sustain our00:18:48
family. The mountain beast made this00:18:50
pretty hard. I mean really hard. But we00:18:53
got there in the end. In total, we00:18:55
planted over 60 support trees, mainly00:18:58
lucina, eucalyptus, acacia, and palonia.00:19:01
40 fruit trees, including peaches,00:19:03
plums, apricots, apples, pomegranates,00:19:05
pears, nisperos, pammens, and cherries.00:19:08
And many berry bushes such as00:19:10
raspberries, strawberries, grapes, goji00:19:12
berries, and blueberries. A few years00:19:14
from now, we'll be harvesting all sorts00:19:16
of deliciousness from this forest. It00:19:18
will be a food source for generations to00:19:20
come.00:19:22
[Applause]00:19:27
>> Oh god, that is not good.00:19:33
Oh.00:19:34
Oh.00:19:36
Oh.00:19:40
Genuinely worried. Everyone themselves.00:19:48
[Music]00:20:02
I don't have anything.00:20:05
[Music]00:20:08
>> We have to talk about our options right00:20:10
now, right? Okay.00:20:12
[Music]00:20:18
Whilst Robbie packed up all our00:20:20
valuables, Sage and I took refuge by the00:20:22
swimming pool in the nearby village.00:20:24
Seconds later, this happened.00:20:27
[Applause]00:20:31
Luckily, we made it inside without being00:20:33
hurt.00:20:37
[Music]00:20:42
There is a goat00:20:44
and it is watching that fire wondering00:20:47
what to do. It's raining ash00:20:51
and the sun has gone.00:20:57
[Music]00:21:06
[Music]00:21:22
Do you have a house for sleep this00:21:24
night?00:21:25
>> As darkness fell, we sat and watched the00:21:27
flames from a hilltop as we awaited the00:21:29
fate of our home. All you could see were00:21:31
the blue flashing lights of fire trucks00:21:33
and the roaring fire around them, moving00:21:35
quickly through the pine forests in all00:21:37
directions. The next morning, we awoke00:21:39
to a smoke-filled valley. We could only00:21:41
hope the firefighters had stopped the00:21:43
blaze before it reached our home.00:21:47
Luckily, our house was saved. The blaze00:21:50
continued through the valley, however,00:21:51
causing destruction to people's homes00:21:53
and farmland.00:22:06
We'd been going to the toilet and00:22:07
showering in the wild for 3 years. From00:22:09
facing off with magical mountain beasts00:22:12
to keeping ourselves clean in about any00:22:14
water source we could find. We set out00:22:16
on a mission to create an outdoor00:22:18
bathroom in harmony with nature that00:22:20
saves us 140,000 L of water each year00:22:23
and creates valuable compost for our00:22:25
trees. Here00:22:30
[Music]00:22:35
to the good days, here to the sorrows.00:22:39
This is a mistake. I know about00:22:42
tomorrow. I don't want to fight no more00:22:45
cuz I don't feel the need. No, just want00:22:48
to make it stop.00:22:52
Maybe it's something in the water.00:22:56
Maybe we just hit the end of the road.00:23:01
>> It doesn't even matter.00:23:04
>> It's too late not to let it go. And00:23:08
that's why I00:23:12
>> just like living in a hole.00:23:15
>> In a hole.00:23:21
[Music]00:23:26
This is >> my first time doing block work. Hey,00:23:31
>> that's perfect mix.00:23:37
>> What do I do now?00:23:40
[Music]00:23:48
>> Promise I won't forget. Yeah,00:23:52
>> maybe it's something in the water.00:23:56
Or maybe we just hit the end of the00:23:59
road. Right now, it doesn't even matter.00:24:05
It's too late not to let it go. And00:24:08
that's why I00:24:11
wish you the best.00:24:14
[Music]00:24:18
They need to really00:24:20

We set out on a mission to create an00:32:18
outdoor bathroom that lives in harmony00:32:19
with nature, saves us 140,000 L of water00:32:22
each year, and creates valuable compost00:32:24
for our trees. It took us one year, and00:32:27
in this time, we pushed ourselves to the00:32:29
limit. What we achieved with this00:32:31
project and how we've grown together is00:32:33
something we'll value for the rest of00:32:34
our lives.00:32:36

>> We're building a new house for our 3000:32:57
chickens. Our chickens roam free across00:32:59
our land, living wonderful lives. And in00:33:01
return, we receive highly nutritious and00:33:03
organic eggs to feed our family, as well00:33:05
as lots of rich compost for our00:33:07
vegetable garden.00:33:09
Shephering these chickens for 3 years00:33:11
has been quite the roller coaster. It00:33:13
feels like we've made every mistake you00:33:15
can make, and it's fair to say keeping00:33:17
them alive on this wild mountain takes00:33:19
skill.00:33:20
Our new chicken house will be an00:33:22
architectural marvel. It will build upon00:33:24
our vast wisdom mainly of what not to do00:33:27
and fit perfectly into the landscape00:33:29
lasting for generations to come.00:33:32

With news of a new baby on the way, we00:41:12
decided to try and make some ground on00:41:13
the shepherd's house. Our goal was to00:41:15
get a new room renovated in the old goat00:41:17
corral on the north of the house. It's a00:41:20
beautiful old building where a famous00:41:21
local shepherd named Salvador lived00:41:23
alongside his 100 goats.00:41:27
We'd start by bringing the door level00:41:28
down so we can clear the space out with00:41:30
a digger. then build up an exterior00:41:32
stone wall with a beautiful arched00:41:33
doorway which will be the entrance to00:41:35
our new home.00:41:45

Our00:47:49
[Music]00:48:03
vision was to restore the old farm and00:48:05
create a self-sufficient off-grid00:48:07
homestead where we could grow our own00:48:09
food and live in tune with nature. After00:48:12
4 years here, we're on our way to00:48:13
building some of our most important00:48:15
infrastructure. We're beginning to00:48:17
survive more and more from the land, and00:48:18
we're raising some wild mountain00:48:20
children. But most importantly, our goal00:48:22
was to live off grid, to be closer to00:48:25
nature and immersed in its daily00:48:27
rhythms. The rain, the sun, the morning00:48:30
mist, the quality of light, the mountain00:48:32
air, the quietness, the stillness. To be00:48:36
able to watch the stars at night. To00:48:38
tell the difference between the call of00:48:39
a swallow and a bee eater. To be excited00:48:42
by the rain. To be scared by the wind00:48:44
and the storms. To plant a tree and00:48:46
genuinely check on it every day to see00:48:48
how much it has grown. To harvest your00:48:50
own food. To watch the look your child00:48:52
gives when they experience these things,00:48:54
too.00:48:55
We're so excited for the future of our00:48:57
homestead. We're looking forward to00:48:59
continuing with the house restoration,00:49:02
welcoming a new baby in October,00:49:04
finishing the chicken house, creating00:49:06
more orchards and food forests, inviting00:49:09
more animals. We're thinking ducks and a00:49:11
pack of goats to clear our land and00:49:12
provide us with milk. Overall, just00:49:15
trying to turn this abandoned mountain00:49:16
into a self-sufficient wilderness farm00:49:18
to feed our family and last for00:49:20
generations to come. Thank you for your00:49:22
lovely comments. We're so grateful to00:49:24
have you all on this journey with us.00:49:26
