I'd go there in a heartbeat... tomorrow even... But I'm not the youthful help they need out there. I'm 51. 😢 Although I do work with my husband who is a carpenter... So I'm definitely not afraid of the work. I quit my career desk job 20 years ago to get back to my construction and farming roots... I can't stand being sedentary.
Hey Peter. I’m watching this from Mississippi. I thought I am fit to be there. That’s the kind of life I want and like. Yes, avocado is more important than tv. I had avocado this morning for breakfast and I can have avocado for years. I can live with it without rice. I am originally from the Philippines and I kind of grew the way Dano and Robin are living now. I grew with all what they have in their land now. Coconut trees, bananas, coffee trees, corn, avocado, mangoes, bananas, jackfruit, soursop, all kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables. We raised livestocks too! Please please! I want to be there I can take my husband with me if not I’ll go myself and find a Hawaiian husband there. I’m serious! I can’t live here anymore I been a victim of racial profiling and this has been going on for 3 years now. It’s eating me alive and I can’t go on like this anymore.
Each age needs a new kind of spirituality because each is different from any other; hence messengers go on coming. A messenger is nothing but a man who translates the eternal truth for contemporary man. Abraham is one of those great messengers of God. It is good to be associated with Abraham, but remember now that Abraham also needs a new birth. Osho
There is so much wisdom in this one statement... It hit me the same way as he said it. We could probably cut the current pharmaceutical consumption in half... as with the suicide rate... by simply following this one philosophical life path.
@@Hybrid_Piscesyep so true. We have so much now and supposedly so connected now but yet sadness and suicide are worse than ever. We need to put aside our differences and live the way God intended us to live.
This is the life I dream of. Not Lamborghini's, not millions of followers/fans, but peace and quiet. And a connection with nature. That is the peak of life.
I left the city and suburbs of beautiful sunny Florida to move to a mountain and grow my own food with Zero TV in 2007. At that time, there was no internet worth trying to use. I've never regretted it. Since I came the world has fallen apart. Living this way, you see any of that. I go back to visit family and can't wait to get the hell out of there. Honestly, It's become overcrowded and everyday more agriculture land is becoming suburbs. Plus, you can't grow the wide variety of food that you can in NE AL. I know I'm not crazy for living this rural life because other people who see where and how I live want to move here too. Lol
Thank you for covering actual Homesteaders with a real long track record of actually walking-the-walk. Ive been watching homesteading content creators come and go on Ytube for over a decade. They are usually young, and inexperienced, presenting themselves as teachers, and in a few years their homesteading "teaching" channels go poof, and they disappear back into normie land. These guys really have what it takes for us to learn from, including true grit and wisdom from experience.
@@erin6945 its cool but you cant really homestead there ... on zillow like a small tiny piece of land is 100k ... its sad a few families horde all the land .. they should let people grow these food forest where people dont use the land no more... I could light up hawaii with mangoes
its weird hibiscasus grows in oklahoma where i live... im doing tomatoes peppers many peaches dwarf and regular ones.. plum blueberry grapes zuchinis and squash... I would love too do a food forest one day! I could be a boss farm manager but its just me and my dog! thanks Landon
1) the love they have for each other 2) the love they have for their children, not judging or chiding them for not taking over their land and not raising them in a cultic mindset, but clearly being proud of them and supportive of them 3) the love they have for humanity living differently than them and not thinking everyone should do exactly as they do. This is the true heart of a homesteader. A heart of teaching, sharing, inviting, and love.
HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM WILD ANIMALS AND SNAKES ?AFTER ALL WE.’RE MOVING INTO THEIR TERRITORY. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR TREATING ILLNESS ,ie, NATURAL HEALING WITH PLANTS? Marva Laurie
@@MarvaLaurie You invest the time in sitting quietly and walking around paying attention to where and how the living things exist. You respect and allow for what's already there, and build on that, learning as you go. Rarely are you so far from civilization that you can't get to medical care or medicine while you learn how to take some of that on for yourself. There are thousands of books to learn from about the local plants and systems, wherever you might be.
@MatthewMasterson-pk2su That's true, but kids aren't even taught HOW to think anymore, just what propaganda to absorb & repeat without actually considering what they're promoting. “The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.” - Thomas Sowell "Propaganda is a monologue that is not looking for an answer, but an echo.” - W. H. Auden
Peter, you deserve the Nobel Prize for your journalism. You have shown us things about our fellow Americans that no history book or corporate/special interest-owned media outlet could. Thank you ❤
There is no Nobel Prize for journalism, never has and most likely never will be. You're thinking of the Pulitzer prizes. Both very prestigious, but Nobel comes with a 1 million dollars check, while Pulitzer is 15k😅
I love this!! I live on a small city lot and grow so much food too. Tomatoes, peppers, spices, a medicinal garden, including toothache plant, peach trees, elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, 3 kinds of grapes, strawberries, blueberries, garlic, horseradish, mushrooms, asparagus, rhubarb, and grow a garden. I also have chickens. I do what i can. We help friends on their farm to buy our cow and pig cheap every other year. I make my own breads, noodles, and can and dehydrate what we don't use. It's a way of life. I wish I could have land out in the middle of nowhere, but can't afford it. You make do with what you have. Your place is paradise.
I was really sad hearing her say that her husband got tired of her and left her and the two year old little girl. But it seems like she had a wonderful man step in who was willing and happy to raise her and be a great dad. This seems like a dream childhood to grow up in nature like this. Also for Robin, it seems like she found her soul mate. Somehow who wanted to live the same life as she did, and they’ve clearly had a very long lasting marriage. Sometimes when something falls apart, it’s so that something better can fall into place.
A very strong woman indeed, where she didn't let something like that ex hold her down. Not sure if that would happen today without the support of others.
@@emsejssrlract She's been around the block, I imagine when she gets her fill, she lets him know. Otherwise she wouldn't have survived and thrived this long.
Yeah, dude seems cool but you can tell that his generation's mindset really did get to him. She is also of that same generation and seems to kind of "know her place" type thing. I mean, that DOES go back to the patriarchal teachings of the monotheistic God of the Jews... for good reason though: God expects man to provide for his wife, take care of her, sacrifice for her & take the bullet for her ultimately so it's only fitting that she is a bit submissive. Not really so bad. Eh. I'd encourage everyone to actually look into the history of what these ancient manuscripts have been saying for thousands of years and after this, what they have been saying about prophecy & how today looks exactly what the prophets predicted (really open eye trance via the most high: Yhwh). How Jesus is literally the ONLY one out of alllll the belief systems who is still alive and has hundreds of witnesses & their names listed, proof they were actual people who lived in the Jerusalem area a couple thousand years ago. Gene Kim, Amir Tsarfati & Robert Breaker all have really great channels that deep dive into the TRUTH & nothing but the TRUTH. 🥰❤️✝️🩸All about the blood atonement of Jesus the Christ.
Back in the 90s this is how we lived in the Hokianga in the far North of New Zealand. No electricity, no phones. Living mostly off the land. Our 5 sons grew up this way until we moved away. If your in a great climate like these people are, you can grow so much food. There are still lots of people living this way in New Zealand. Such a peaceful way of living.
Climate IS what matters. A reasonably humid, warm climate means water and several growing cycles in the year. Stuff just grows! Once you get into drier, cooler winter climates you need green houses to contain the humidity and heat in winter.
I was two when they moved out there, I'll be 50 in September. They look so young for their age and they're obviously healthy, untouched by high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar and all the garbage at the grocery. What a beautiful life they have lived!
I'm 73yrs young but if I was a few years younger I'd be out there in a heartbeat. Dano and Robin are a couple of real live 'Hippies' living the life that many a hippie only dreamt of. Stay young guys. 😎 👍 Love from 🏴
The wife seems really nice/chill but the husband seems a bit high strung for me. I feel like working for him would be very stressful, and obviously you're not getting paid.
I grew up in southern rural Ohio. I'm 39. I'm not off grid. I totally can relate with these folks. I hunt and fish, I forage. I garden, I compost and build living soil. I'm not strict though. The majority of protein in my diet comes from rabbits and deer. I still buy beef burger and I still buy veggies. My favorite thing to do is garden. To me it's all about the soil. Soil is literally the basis of life and health. I believe God gave us all the plants and he is pleased when we build sustainable soils. The lessons learned are priceless. I grew up without a leash I was in the woods as much as I could as a kid and I continued as an adult. I've recently encouraged my fiance to garden with me. She is a life long urban dweller. We are polar opposites in May ways. Just seeing her begonia blooms got her hooked. It's spiritual on a whole other level. When your garden does well the feeling cannot be described. It is certainly a religious experience. I too agree much with their religion.
Peter, if we only understood how liberating it is to be outside of the norm, I used to live the same way (did not have my first burger until I was a teen), lived off the land and had my most memorable experiences. Then, I traded it for the United States and have been chasing the dream ever since. Don’t get me wrong, I had an amazing life and accomplished a lot, but when you age and all you got to show for is stuff, the reality of what you left behind hits you.
The Reality of REALLY Living ..Experiencing this GIFT of LIFE comes through with these folks and your RIGHT ... our so called civilized way of Life collecting STUFF is ultimately meaningless .... Love from an old 75 year man hiding in Canada .... Roy
Well said, Victor, well said. Collect memories and experiences not products of the chasing, modern world. And I fully agree, when you walk the same path as everybody else, you end at the same place. If you choose your own path, you may discover what others have never seen or had.
Watching from a country whose major economy relies on livestock herding, Somalia. Lessons learned from this insightful documentary. 1. Life in the jungle can be beautiful if you have land suitable for mixed farming, including crops, chickens & herbal medicinal plants. 2. Using plant harvest remnants, like banana peels & stems, by placing them near the stem of banana trees provides essential nutrients such as sodium, which banana trees are rich in. 3. : I learned about the Bahá'í religion. 4. Sustainable Resource Management: I discovered the process of "make, take, use & reuse" as an alternative to "make, take, use & lose". 5. Learned more about Permaculture Farming & Homesteading. Many thanks to Peter & the couples.
I cant believe ive been living in Lahaina since 2007 and staring at Molokai wondering what goes on on that island and here we are. Dont let the politicians see this place.
I’m born and raised in Hawaii and I lived on Moloka’i for three months one summer. There’s all kinds of people like these two all over the islands. When I lived on the Big Island, I visited a friend who lived on the Hamakua coast, and she lived kind of like these people. But further back behind her land was a Harikrushna temple with a secret village. There’s all kinds of hidden people and hidden properties on these islands. I got more stories.
@@PeterSantenelloYou are a great vlogger ,,,one thing i love is that you dont interrupt people as they speak , you allow them to fully tell their story you are a good listener yet guiding your host into what you want expressed by them so the viewers get their story ❤❤❤❤sending ❤ from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you Peter! Your videos are so much better then the divisive nonsense the legacy media puts out. You offer true journalism, which is why you are so popular.
What an absolute brilliant couple. Can you imagine, if 20% of the world thought like that and thinks as these people do. Peter this is an awesome vlog. Thank you so much. And thank you to this beautiful couple that gets it, they get it!!!
I love how you can have a dream and ideal lifestyle but not be able to put words to it or explain. Then you randomly come across a UA-cam video of someone who's actualized your dream and succeeded at it for 50 years! This is amazing.
Agreed - the only way I could have done it is if I had someone in my life who either already knew a lot of this or was quick to learn - like they said - would make more sense to be in a couple. Now, I'm probably too old and deconditioned to be able to work the land. But still, even just adopting some permaculture practices would feel great.
He has the best questions, no matter what walk of life he's talking to. I don't think I've ever seen him look visibly uncomfortable with any guest. Maybe I haven't watched all his videos
@@everythingyes227 yes, to get a story. That’s what he DOES. He talks to people and tells us their stories and the stories of where he is visiting. That’s how he makes money. And sometimes he has to talk to pretty odd people- just like I’m doing right now. (By the way - lmbo? Seriously? Has anyone used that phrase since 2001?)
Dano is an extrovert and natural educator. Thank you! I’d like to hear more of Robin’s voice with her sensibility and quiet wisdom. An all women’s retreat would be incredible💛😊… of course economically viable and supportive for the farm and low impact
I find it ironic at age 78, she & I were on the same island, in the same environment in 1971. She heartbroken by a surfer & me by a musician. He left her with a child & she moved to Molokai & I flew back to the Mainland & retained my old job at Southern Airways (now Delta). Life, it’s so amazing
I remember looking up about bananas and potassium maybe four years ago and I was surprised that bananas don't even have a lot of potassium in them ... that was a very good marketing ploy
That’s beautiful! My family and I live on a big ranch in Texas and when I leave the small town we live by it’s a relief to get home. Our garden, cows, deer, rabbits,pigs,birds,and the water that flows through the woods give us peace. Going to town and especially a big city like San Antonio gives me stress like a lot of stress. I relate to that style of living. I love being a part of nature daily.
I lived in Hawaii for three years (Kailua) after living on an island in San Juan’s (N Seattle Anacortes for 13 years ) when we left Hawaii we moved to San Antonio … all the traffic, signs, stores and people gave me my first panic attack lol eventually I got used to it . Then we moved to the beach in Pan Handle of Florida , small town. Don’t care for big cities myself. I could go spend 6 months easily on this farm working and sipping tea on Malakai ❤
Oh goodness… I started to reevaluate what means most to me while watching this. As a Pacific Islander… I lived this for a few years… now in my 40s, and seeing this lovely couple share their world with you/us, I became a little sad by how out of touch I’ve been living the city life. Makes me miss living back home… we’d be more healthy for it too! Mahalo for this beautiful interview!
I'm a 30 year old who has lived in cities almost my whole life and my beliefs are EXACTLY the same as the two, I'm stunned. I've never heard anyone explain how I see "God," and my whole life's mission is to teach myself how to do this (create permacultures) so I can then teach other people how to do it. I hope Dano and Robin see this and have hope knowing that people from all kinds of places see the world as they do. As it really is.
Thank you Peter for recognizing what wonderful content Dano and robin could provide. Their life is what dreams are made of. At 80, I wish I hadn't wasted my life in urban America. Now my husband andI live in the country and love that aspect of it but are too old to enjoy taking care of many animals and gardening. Modern corporate food has taken it's toll on our lives. Dano and Robin are offering a wonderful opportunity to a couple willing to work it ----so much better than a university degree. If only weI was young enough. Thank you Peter and thank you Dano and Robin for sharing your life.
We did something like this in Tennessee in 1972. My sisters family did this with us. It was a great place to have children. We used a mule to 'til up a large garden space. We had plenty of food and sold the rest at the farmers market in Nashville. We had horses and rode the dirt roads on them. I wish we'd stayed there!
I enjoyed so many things about this episode. Most of all how Peter is gifted at allowing people to share themselves comfortably and how Dano and Robin can live alone on an island for decades and still be so in love. She laughing at his stories and he calling her a beautiful blonde. and of course Natalia's incredible editing skills! God bless you all. Thank you for this soul nourishing content.
I’m only 5 minutes in and loving hearing their story! Their lifestyle is beautiful. Their intentional separation from the modern chaos is inspiring. They are being beautiful stewards of the land. My family is Māori from Aoteroa, not Hawaiian, but as a fellow Polynesian, it brings my heart so much joy to see any family, of any culture, taking care of the land and showing how to live close to the land. We call these guardians kaitiaki. Thank you Peter for bringing their story to the outer world. Inspiring!!
Dano and Robin need to video their life for everyone least once a week! I'm a 34 year old wife and mother of 3 in rural appalachian North carolina n I loved seeing their life watched the whole thing they hav knowledge to spread in masses!!
If you can't build it, you won't be able to maintain it, then maybe you don't need it. This is a true wealth, thank you for sharing your farm and lives. Peter you are damn lucky.
To highlight on what you said I've realized decades ago, when you bought say a dryer, it came with a manual and everything was mechanical. You could work on your own things if you had the patience. Nowadays we have apple phones and electric cars, that need to be worked on by appropriate professionals.
If I, a lowly human, could conjure blessings, I would send a bushel to this beautiful, strong, brave couple. My sister says, bloom where you are planted, and this takes great courage as well. Thank you for sharing this video. I gives me hope. I love the idea of bringing a young couple into the Permaculture forest to teach and pass knowledge forward. In the interim, as you wait, remember the Woofers. If they could commit to three month periods, you would have both help and the opportunity to teach. Its truly is remarkable what happens to my spirit as I work in my own garden. The world falls away as my hands work the soil, plodding through decisions, and at the end of the day: satisfaction. 💕
I think what has changed for some since they started is plenty of the younger people are entirely vegan (I am not but for many the eggs even would be a step too far).
I like this man's wording regarding the structure that used to be a bedroom. It appears a large rock or Boulder. Rolled down the hill, affecting the bedroom structure in some way. Referring to the structure, he said. Well, it used to be a bedroom, but a large, rock kind of CHANGED it. He did not say, destroy or ruin.He said CHANGED! This guy is totally in tune and in harmony with the land. He is careful with his words and does not view a " natural event as necessarily " bad or negative " . I could listening to and watch this couple 24/7 . Makes my heart sing!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! For sharing, thank you for this powerful spiritual message, insight, knowledge & furthering my belief in self. I have such deep admiration for this heaven sent couple. Nothing gives myself, my husband & out 5 children more peace than the freedom of being one with the land, planting, foraging, eating what “we” produce & giving back to Mother Nature as she graciously gives to us in abundance. I’m in love with this circle of life, nothing ever really ends or dies, it may look different when it returns but it’s still a gift one must cherish. I do pray that my husband and I are able to visit and soak up as much knowledge as possible for our homestead. If it’s in the cards for us to stay there, it would be a great pleasure. Much respect & admiration to you Peter who travel all over to continue to spread and sow seeds of motivation, inspiration, joy, peace, mindful eating, culture, community & so much more. Gratitud, love & light 🙏 To God be the glory.
This is absolutely my dream. I'm currently on maui, got 5 kids pregnant with no. 6 and me and my husband are drooling over this lifestyle lol. I'm doing my own tiny homesteading with what I've got but I'm so excited for our new journey to homesteading! You both have been blessed beyond anything I could ever imagine. I'm so happy for you and so proud of the way you raised your kids and raised your food! Great job you two!!! You're a great example of how beautiful this life is.
My daughter at this very moment is busy transforming her front yard in a small city into a relaxing garden place instead of a useless LAWN. Already got some beautiful strawberries & several other things coming along very nicely
I've said this for years. Get rid of your lawn an plant your own food. It can still be beautiful but feed a whole street of people with healthy non GMO and pesticide ridden food. It's easy to change your sprinkler system to drip .
Peter, I really appreciate your willingness to shine a light on people living quiet interesting lives. Almost everything is about perspective and whether you are in Amish country, the deep south, or anywhere else...you bring us along to listen and learn without judgement. Thanks!
I wish I could help them but an accident in 2003 left me wheelchair bound so I'd be more of a burden. This is a beautiful part of the US and definitely needs to be preserved. Thanks as always Peter, I would never be able to see some of these gorgeous areas and lifestyles if it weren't for you! Much appreciated brother, love you and the awesome work you do
man! you are a natural storyteller.and you fit in in any culture.keep going ...lots of love and respect from Nairobi Kenya...come for a holiday and enjoy the other side of the world we love people like you
I lived on Molokai for over 3yrs... my oldest son graduated from Molokai High. My youngest was born on the Big Island. I dream of Molokai daily and still connect with Ohana there. I thank you for sharing your world with us. Namaste 🙏
Beautiful...it gives me hope for the future!! I'm their age as well...our generation tried to change things for the better...and they have accomplished that in their own way! Much PEACE & LOVE!!
If only I was 40 years younger. What a wonderful opportunity for someone to learn from them and get to live in that paradise. I do wonder about their daughters and the fact that neither of them want to live there and eventually take over. Great Video.
They both raised 4 daughters on that land, and none of them want to live there as adults to carry on and preserve their parents legacy. Homesteading is not for everyone, it's a tough lonely harsh life because you have to do manual labor on a daily basis to survive.
I lived on a ranch growing up,lived off the land. So much work to do. Couldn't wait to have a small piece of land to raise a family,which I did. I raised cattle,horses,chickens,and ducks,and grew veggies and alfalfa. My kids couldn't wait to leave. Lots of work. But in the long run they too live on small acreage. Circle of life!
I'm looking for homesteading videos on yt and I saw your notifications. omg thank you so much for sharing this Peter. I hope everyone reading this having an amazing dayy and keep chasing your dreams ❤!! Lord bless you all. Amen.
I am startting to think that your content is the thing on UA-cam. I love the variations in the different lifestyles and the different people that so thouroughly open up and share their stories.
And now that people are waking up to what the good life means, the big international banks and govts. are making it almost impossible for young people to buy land.
Love these two!! I'd absolutely love to learn what they have learned over the years and listen to their stories. If I were 20 I'd go out there and help out! 100% off grid here in rural Northland, New Zealand, so I am interested to see more like this. Thank you for posting!
What these 2 people have is EXACTLY...EXACTLY...WHAT I WANT!!! DON'T YOU?!?!?! I can SEE that they LOVE LOVE LOVE EACH OTHER! They have so much love that it pours out of their home and onto the land. Just the way it should be!!! Great full Just the way it should be ❤
I was thinking the same thing. She’s been there longer, and I’m sure she has lot of great stories. He likes to hear himself talk, but I would like to hear the point of view of a goddess.
@@cynthiaweir5697He’s a man. Men should be speaking to men. Women should be speaking to women. It may seem sexist but in a civilized society that’s how it’s suppose to go. This is for the woman’s safety.
Am 31 years of age living in Uganda, and this is something I would love to do in back in my hometown Gulu city, God bless this couple🫶🏾, not all women can bare life out of the modern life we living in today. They are really blessed.
IMHO: Thank you, for sharing your FASCINATING, INSPIRING, story of how you developed your unique, self-sufficient lifestyle!! "BRAVO!!!!" You're living the Dream!!! ["shared"]
This people look healthy, not overweight since they don't consume tons of sugar, and they labor. Here is a simple recipe for being healthy. Wonderful couple.
They're Clueless about Avocado's being usually opposed by Nature-Preservers and Permaculture-Practioners? Never seen Permaculture-Practioners be fully unaware of that. I thought we were all united in saying this stuff us un-economic af and drinks Water like Insane
Here's the thing. Humanity loves technology, yet humanity loves and longs for this kind of life. If we could all just get back to real-life living along with using technology to have a balance between the two instead of letting one or the other take over, that would truly be a life worth living. Our existence today is just so incredibly out of touch its actually terrifying.
@@jacobmitchell5066 right fridges oven power. Sure power tools and vehicles brought up all the supplies to build the home. If it wasn't for technology they wouldn't have what they have.
This was a real treat meeting the permicultutist folk on Molichi. I'd have asked to visit with them to help out, but i'm a female at 72. The whole process of homesteading is a great experience. I lived at this for a few years with organic gardening. Permaculture is a powerful method i am just learning now.
As someone who spend 3 years living offgrid on a homestead in the mtns of northern California. I love tbese videos lately! My wife an I are now doing our best to live off the land while still living in a "city" live 10mins away on 5 acres. Once the kids are grown we will disappear into the woods even more.
@@JMcKee253 good luck to you and your family. We all have to do what we do. Kids seem to love the day to day work. I wish I'd started out with young ones. City grandkids love the novelty but they want their stims and we have to give them back.
Stunned to hear “the problem is the solution”. I had a boss who would say that to me. I’d stare at him with my hands on my hips & say “I’ll consider that”. I was a huge student of philosophy so I did ponder that teaching often. When I retired he called me his Warrior. Greatest gift I’ve ever been given. And B’hai…another thing I haven’t thought of for years. Great respect for these people who can actually & successfully make their life this way. I was invited to be Amish but I knew my worldly parameters. Again a high honor to be told I have an “Amish heart.” I felt your blessings & will receive them with memory & prayer.
You have a lot of great episodes, but this one was a pure gem👌 this life is so fascinating! thanks for doing this one. Wish you'd do more like this! Very educational

Thank you again, Peter.
I'd go there in a heartbeat... tomorrow even... But I'm not the youthful help they need out there. I'm 51. 😢
Although I do work with my husband who is a carpenter... So I'm definitely not afraid of the work. I quit my career desk job 20 years ago to get back to my construction and farming roots... I can't stand being sedentary.
Hey Peter. I’m watching this from Mississippi. I thought I am fit to be there. That’s the kind of life I want and like. Yes, avocado is more important than tv. I had avocado this morning for breakfast and I can have avocado for years. I can live with it without rice. I am originally from the Philippines and I kind of grew the way Dano and Robin are living now. I grew with all what they have in their land now. Coconut trees, bananas, coffee trees, corn, avocado, mangoes, bananas, jackfruit, soursop, all kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables. We raised livestocks too! Please please! I want to be there I can take my husband with me if not I’ll go myself and find a Hawaiian husband there. I’m serious! I can’t live here anymore I been a victim of racial profiling and this has been going on for 3 years now. It’s eating me alive and I can’t go on like this anymore.
Each age needs a new kind of spirituality because each is different from any other; hence messengers go on coming. A messenger is nothing but a man who translates the eternal truth for contemporary man. Abraham is one of those great messengers of God. It is good to be associated with Abraham, but remember now that Abraham also needs a new birth.
Osho
He is right though. We are suppose to work little bit, then drink tea and tell stories then work little more
There is so much wisdom in this one statement... It hit me the same way as he said it. We could probably cut the current pharmaceutical consumption in half... as with the suicide rate... by simply following this one philosophical life path.
It's entirely possible AI will bring that kind of future for us all.
We should definitely be voting for people who understand this is possible.
IKR - that one statement was so simple yet so true - really hit me like right on - that is exactly how we're supposed to live, what seems natural.
@@Hybrid_Piscesyep so true. We have so much now and supposedly so connected now but yet sadness and suicide are worse than ever. We need to put aside our differences and live the way God intended us to live.
@@tracy419 uh no ...
This is the life I dream of. Not Lamborghini's, not millions of followers/fans, but peace and quiet. And a connection with nature. That is the peak of life.
We share the same dream.
I left the city and suburbs of beautiful sunny Florida to move to a mountain and grow my own food with Zero TV in 2007. At that time, there was no internet worth trying to use. I've never regretted it. Since I came the world has fallen apart. Living this way, you see any of that. I go back to visit family and can't wait to get the hell out of there. Honestly, It's become overcrowded and everyday more agriculture land is becoming suburbs. Plus, you can't grow the wide variety of food that you can in NE AL. I know I'm not crazy for living this rural life because other people who see where and how I live want to move here too. Lol
Do it. There will never be a “perfect time” to live the life you want. Best wishes!
Why are you dreaming it when you can just do it, just find a forest and start, you don't need money, except if you don't mean it
100% brother, also want this kind of life!
Thank you for covering actual Homesteaders with a real long track record of actually walking-the-walk. Ive been watching homesteading content creators come and go on Ytube for over a decade. They are usually young, and inexperienced, presenting themselves as teachers, and in a few years their homesteading "teaching" channels go poof, and they disappear back into normie land. These guys really have what it takes for us to learn from, including true grit and wisdom from experience.
I think it's okay to learn as you go, I do have a problem with them thinking they are an authority on the matter, or trying to teach others.
Win-win situation
Agreed! Well said
@@erin6945 its cool but you cant really homestead there ... on zillow like a small tiny piece of land is 100k ... its sad a few families horde all the land .. they should let people grow these food forest where people dont use the land no more... I could light up hawaii with mangoes
its weird hibiscasus grows in oklahoma where i live... im doing tomatoes peppers many peaches dwarf and regular ones.. plum blueberry grapes zuchinis and squash... I would love too do a food forest one day! I could be a boss farm manager but its just me and my dog! thanks Landon
1) the love they have for each other
2) the love they have for their children, not judging or chiding them for not taking over their land and not raising them in a cultic mindset, but clearly being proud of them and supportive of them
3) the love they have for humanity living differently than them and not thinking everyone should do exactly as they do.
This is the true heart of a homesteader. A heart of teaching, sharing, inviting, and love.

@@MarvaLaurie 1. Weapons

@@MarvaLaurie You invest the time in sitting quietly and walking around paying attention to where and how the living things exist. You respect and allow for what's already there, and build on that, learning as you go. Rarely are you so far from civilization that you can't get to medical care or medicine while you learn how to take some of that on for yourself. There are thousands of books to learn from about the local plants and systems, wherever you might be.
The biggest lesson we can take is that the guys without internet and TV got way more knowledge and wisdom than us. Beautiful documentary!
Amen!! Ironic, right? 😮😊😊❤
I guess nature teaches you that. I started hiking 3 yrs ago and my wisdom level is up.

@MatthewMasterson-pk2su That's true, but kids aren't even taught HOW to think anymore, just what propaganda to absorb & repeat without actually considering what they're promoting.

Peter, you deserve the Nobel Prize for your journalism. You have shown us things about our fellow Americans that no history book or corporate/special interest-owned media outlet could. Thank you ❤
There is no Nobel Prize for journalism, never has and most likely never will be.
You're thinking of the Pulitzer prizes.
Both very prestigious, but Nobel comes with a 1 million dollars check, while Pulitzer is 15k😅
He Gonna Get Sumptin
This is living
Honestly, the level of peace that couple is experiencing must be so freeing
I love this!! I live on a small city lot and grow so much food too. Tomatoes, peppers, spices, a medicinal garden, including toothache plant, peach trees, elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, 3 kinds of grapes, strawberries, blueberries, garlic, horseradish, mushrooms, asparagus, rhubarb, and grow a garden. I also have chickens. I do what i can. We help friends on their farm to buy our cow and pig cheap every other year. I make my own breads, noodles, and can and dehydrate what we don't use. It's a way of life. I wish I could have land out in the middle of nowhere, but can't afford it. You make do with what you have. Your place is paradise.
I was really sad hearing her say that her husband got tired of her and left her and the two year old little girl. But it seems like she had a wonderful man step in who was willing and happy to raise her and be a great dad. This seems like a dream childhood to grow up in nature like this. Also for Robin, it seems like she found her soul mate. Somehow who wanted to live the same life as she did, and they’ve clearly had a very long lasting marriage. Sometimes when something falls apart, it’s so that something better can fall into place.
A very strong woman indeed, where she didn't let something like that ex hold her down. Not sure if that would happen today without the support of others.
His loss.
divine destiny
Correct!
And she's been listening to that guy talk for 50 years. Constantly interrupts her segment.
I liked the way she looked at him as he was talking; strong loving supporting relationship.
I thought it was annoying how he cut her off and told her stories all the time. I wonder about her mindset. Not in a bad way
@@emsejssrlract That's how I felt, too! He was rude in taking over every conversation!
@@ValerieGriner yeah and he kills deer which I do not approve of
@@emsejssrlract She's been around the block, I imagine when she gets her fill, she lets him know. Otherwise she wouldn't have survived and thrived this long.
Yeah, dude seems cool but you can tell that his generation's mindset really did get to him. She is also of that same generation and seems to kind of "know her place" type thing. I mean, that DOES go back to the patriarchal teachings of the monotheistic God of the Jews... for good reason though: God expects man to provide for his wife, take care of her, sacrifice for her & take the bullet for her ultimately so it's only fitting that she is a bit submissive. Not really so bad. Eh.
I'd encourage everyone to actually look into the history of what these ancient manuscripts have been saying for thousands of years and after this, what they have been saying about prophecy & how today looks exactly what the prophets predicted (really open eye trance via the most high: Yhwh). How Jesus is literally the ONLY one out of alllll the belief systems who is still alive and has hundreds of witnesses & their names listed, proof they were actual people who lived in the Jerusalem area a couple thousand years ago.
Gene Kim, Amir Tsarfati & Robert Breaker all have really great channels that deep dive into the TRUTH & nothing but the TRUTH.
🥰❤️✝️🩸All about the blood atonement of Jesus the Christ.
Back in the 90s this is how we lived in the Hokianga in the far North of New Zealand. No electricity, no phones. Living mostly off the land. Our 5 sons grew up this way until we moved away. If your in a great climate like these people are, you can grow so much food. There are still lots of people living this way in New Zealand. Such a peaceful way of living.
This is BEAUTIFUL, I went to N.Z. South Island and I LOVED it I would have loved to stay there!!!
@@mlindamccarthy-boley914 One of millions, go for 3 weeks and think they know it all! Hilarious.
Climate IS what matters. A reasonably humid, warm climate means water and several growing cycles in the year. Stuff just grows! Once you get into drier, cooler winter climates you need green houses to contain the humidity and heat in winter.
Peaceful until you are bothered by some associates of the meth lab down the road.
He reminds me of Dennis Quaid !
I was two when they moved out there, I'll be 50 in September. They look so young for their age and they're obviously healthy, untouched by high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar and all the garbage at the grocery. What a beautiful life they have lived!
And how do you know how old they are?
@@janesheridan7967 because they watched the video
I'm 73yrs young but if I was a few years younger I'd be out there in a heartbeat. Dano and Robin are a couple of real live 'Hippies' living the life that many a hippie only dreamt of. Stay young guys. 😎 👍 Love from 🏴
72 and I lived a lot like this on the Big Island in the 79' and 80's....wish I never left.❤
you know what hippie actually means? Happy Intelligent Person Pursuing Inner Enlightenment... ;)
The wife seems really nice/chill but the husband seems a bit high strung for me. I feel like working for him would be very stressful, and obviously you're not getting paid.
Me too actually close to that 70 years young. Never stop dreaming you stop dreaming you stop living.❤
@@teamofstarsI’m making this into a shirt 👕 😂😂
I grew up in southern rural Ohio. I'm 39. I'm not off grid. I totally can relate with these folks. I hunt and fish, I forage. I garden, I compost and build living soil. I'm not strict though. The majority of protein in my diet comes from rabbits and deer. I still buy beef burger and I still buy veggies. My favorite thing to do is garden. To me it's all about the soil. Soil is literally the basis of life and health. I believe God gave us all the plants and he is pleased when we build sustainable soils. The lessons learned are priceless. I grew up without a leash I was in the woods as much as I could as a kid and I continued as an adult. I've recently encouraged my fiance to garden with me. She is a life long urban dweller. We are polar opposites in May ways. Just seeing her begonia blooms got her hooked. It's spiritual on a whole other level. When your garden does well the feeling cannot be described. It is certainly a religious experience. I too agree much with their religion.
Peter, if we only understood how liberating it is to be outside of the norm, I used to live the same way (did not have my first burger until I was a teen), lived off the land and had my most memorable experiences. Then, I traded it for the United States and have been chasing the dream ever since. Don’t get me wrong, I had an amazing life and accomplished a lot, but when you age and all you got to show for is stuff, the reality of what you left behind hits you.
The Reality of REALLY Living ..Experiencing this GIFT of LIFE comes through with these folks and your RIGHT ... our so called civilized way of Life collecting STUFF is ultimately meaningless .... Love from an old 75 year man hiding in Canada .... Roy
Well said, Victor, well said. Collect memories and experiences not products of the chasing, modern world. And I fully agree, when you walk the same path as everybody else, you end at the same place. If you choose your own path, you may discover what others have never seen or had.
It's never too late...
Thank you for sharing ❤
Yeah you can’t go home again. I get homesick all the time.
Love the couple! They seem to have a young energy that is younger than most young people now. Their sense of being alive and humor is also so alive!
Unlike the majority of online content, this stuff feeds my soul 🙏🏻🥰
Agree
So correct.....Glad they're looking for a help couple. Have to pass that care and knowledge to the next generation.
"Avocado is definitely more important than tv".
As an avocado lover and a homestead/permaculture dreamer, that's the best line ever!!
No lies detected

By far one of the best documentary film makers out there. Peter.. in my humble opinion this is one of your best yet.
Peter has come such a long way!
seconded. I've learned so much from his travels and feel fortunate to have found his channel
Watching from a country whose major economy relies on livestock herding, Somalia.
Lessons learned from this insightful documentary.
1. Life in the jungle can be beautiful if you have land suitable for mixed farming, including crops, chickens & herbal medicinal plants.
2. Using plant harvest remnants, like banana peels & stems, by placing them near the stem of banana trees provides essential nutrients such as sodium, which banana trees are rich in.
3. : I learned about the Bahá'í religion.
4. Sustainable Resource Management: I discovered the process of "make, take, use & reuse" as an alternative to "make, take, use & lose".
5. Learned more about Permaculture Farming & Homesteading.
Many thanks to Peter & the couples.
I cant believe ive been living in Lahaina since 2007 and staring at Molokai wondering what goes on on that island and here we are. Dont let the politicians see this place.
Yes they will burn it down!
They ruin every beautiful place.
Wasn't it a hurricane with high winds that burned down Lahaina? Plese explain to me how the politicians burned this to the ground?
I’m born and raised in Hawaii and I lived on Moloka’i for three months one summer. There’s all kinds of people like these two all over the islands. When I lived on the Big Island, I visited a friend who lived on the Hamakua coast, and she lived kind of like these people. But further back behind her land was a Harikrushna temple with a secret village. There’s all kinds of hidden people and hidden properties on these islands. I got more stories.
@@kapioleilanionalanielua
Just like any and every hippie I ever met before the meth war.

Thank you!
Seriously. I listen to podcast all week during work about mental health, morning radio, comedy but the weekends, I can only do Peter's channel.
@@PeterSantenelloYou are a great vlogger ,,,one thing i love is that you dont interrupt people as they speak , you allow them to fully tell their story you are a good listener yet guiding your host into what you want expressed by them so the viewers get their story ❤❤❤❤sending ❤ from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you Peter! Your videos are so much better then the divisive nonsense the legacy media puts out. You offer true journalism, which is why you are so popular.
Peter absolutely does make the internet a better place.
“We were on mars in the 80s” I love this guy. What an amazing couple. Great video
MLK was a communist
MLK was no good
What an absolute brilliant couple. Can you imagine, if 20% of the world thought like that and thinks as these people do. Peter this is an awesome vlog. Thank you so much. And thank you to this beautiful couple that gets it, they get it!!!
Yesss exactly 💯. I know I should have said that. I sponsor children in Ethiopia. Thanks for bringing this to my attention 🙂 have a wonderful day!
Actually, we are the smaller percentage who doesnt think and live like this. We are the wierdos ...... 😂
I love how you can have a dream and ideal lifestyle but not be able to put words to it or explain. Then you randomly come across a UA-cam video of someone who's actualized your dream and succeeded at it for 50 years! This is amazing.
Agreed - the only way I could have done it is if I had someone in my life who either already knew a lot of this or was quick to learn - like they said - would make more sense to be in a couple. Now, I'm probably too old and deconditioned to be able to work the land. But still, even just adopting some permaculture practices would feel great.
@@flygirl2bthen stop talking about it and do it. Go grow something already! Clocks ticking (I hope this encourages you)

@@RUFFnSORE Governments in 70s weren't taxing people to death
@@RUFFnSOREI worry that the elite acquisition of land will squeeze the natives and people like them out
I love that he ask questions and actually listens to the answers. He truly seems interested in learning a out different people and different lifestyle
Peter is so patient- no matter who he winds up having to hang out with to get a story
He has the best questions, no matter what walk of life he's talking to. I don't think I've ever seen him look visibly uncomfortable with any guest. Maybe I haven't watched all his videos
.....to get a story¨ lmbo
@@everythingyes227 yes, to get a story. That’s what he DOES. He talks to people and tells us their stories and the stories of where he is visiting. That’s how he makes money. And sometimes he has to talk to pretty odd people- just like I’m doing right now. (By the way - lmbo? Seriously? Has anyone used that phrase since 2001?)
I love that you break bread with people you create content with, It’s very important in this world. 🙏
Nigerian here...I was thinking yesterday that I haven't seen peter's video in a while and came to check today. And I am not disappointed as usual.
Dano is an extrovert and natural educator. Thank you! I’d like to hear more of Robin’s voice with her sensibility and quiet wisdom. An all women’s retreat would be incredible💛😊… of course economically viable and supportive for the farm and low impact
I find it ironic at age 78, she & I were on the same island, in the same environment in 1971. She heartbroken by a surfer & me by a musician. He left her with a child & she moved to Molokai & I flew back to the Mainland & retained my old job at Southern Airways (now Delta). Life, it’s so amazing
Wow 😳.
It's a crazy world.
I remember looking up about bananas and potassium maybe four years ago and I was surprised that bananas don't even have a lot of potassium in them ... that was a very good marketing ploy
Email Peter tell him your story maybe you guys could contact each other
How do they deal with mosquitoes?
That’s beautiful! My family and I live on a big ranch in Texas and when I leave the small town we live by it’s a relief to get home. Our garden, cows, deer, rabbits,pigs,birds,and the water that flows through the woods give us peace. Going to town and especially a big city like San Antonio gives me stress like a lot of stress. I relate to that style of living. I love being a part of nature daily.
You're super lucky. I'd give my right foot to be able to spend time in a place like that
Agreed. San Antonio sucks, I live on the outskirts
I lived in Hawaii for three years (Kailua) after living on an island in San Juan’s (N Seattle Anacortes for 13 years ) when we left Hawaii we moved to San Antonio … all the traffic, signs, stores and people gave me my first panic attack lol eventually I got used to it . Then we moved to the beach in Pan Handle of Florida , small town. Don’t care for big cities myself. I could go spend 6 months easily on this farm working and sipping tea on Malakai ❤
This guy Dano and his wife, are out of this world. Going back in time, how mankind truly live. Amazing.
I cannot imagine this life! They found sanctuary from all the nonsense of the 80’s, 90’s, 9/11 and after. It’s almost unreal. I envy them.
Oh goodness… I started to reevaluate what means most to me while watching this. As a Pacific Islander… I lived this for a few years… now in my 40s, and seeing this lovely couple share their world with you/us, I became a little sad by how out of touch I’ve been living the city life. Makes me miss living back home… we’d be more healthy for it too!
Mahalo for this beautiful interview!
This was great, Peter. Between these folks, and the Amish, I love that you've been covering self-sufficient people. Keep it coming!
He's absolutely correct, we are not meant to be living how we are. He's living the dream!!
Seeing no people for 2 weeks? Sounds like heaven. Find your peace, freedom and productivity away from the abyss.
I'm a 30 year old who has lived in cities almost my whole life and my beliefs are EXACTLY the same as the two, I'm stunned. I've never heard anyone explain how I see "God," and my whole life's mission is to teach myself how to do this (create permacultures) so I can then teach other people how to do it. I hope Dano and Robin see this and have hope knowing that people from all kinds of places see the world as they do. As it really is.
couple is amazing, and they want someone to take over when they are gone is beautiful
i hope it's thier kids. they will probably appreciate it as they mature.
These two are gifts to humanity. Thank you for sharing with us Peter.
Thank you Peter for recognizing what wonderful content Dano and robin could provide. Their life is what dreams are made of. At 80, I wish I hadn't wasted my life in urban America. Now my husband andI live in the country and love that aspect of it but are too old to enjoy taking care of many animals and gardening. Modern corporate food has taken it's toll on our lives. Dano and Robin are offering a wonderful opportunity to a couple willing to work it ----so much better than a university degree. If only weI was young enough. Thank you Peter and thank you Dano and Robin for sharing your life.
So much 'better than a university degree' I agree 💯
We did something like this in Tennessee in 1972. My sisters family did this with us. It was a great place to have children. We used a mule to 'til up a large garden space. We had plenty of food and sold the rest at the farmers market in Nashville. We had horses and rode the dirt roads on them. I wish we'd stayed there!
I enjoyed so many things about this episode. Most of all how Peter is gifted at allowing people to share themselves comfortably and how Dano and Robin can live alone on an island for decades and still be so in love. She laughing at his stories and he calling her a beautiful blonde.
and of course Natalia's incredible editing skills!
God bless you all. Thank you for this soul nourishing content.
I’m only 5 minutes in and loving hearing their story! Their lifestyle is beautiful. Their intentional separation from the modern chaos is inspiring. They are being beautiful stewards of the land. My family is Māori from Aoteroa, not Hawaiian, but as a fellow Polynesian, it brings my heart so much joy to see any family, of any culture, taking care of the land and showing how to live close to the land. We call these guardians kaitiaki. Thank you Peter for bringing their story to the outer world. Inspiring!!
"We were on Mars in the 80's"😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kia ora 🥰
So sad to hear your children father leave you, but you still make a life for yourself lady ❤, from Jamaica one love ❤
I LOVE this beautiful couple, they are truly living LIFE the right way. God Bless Dano and Robin. ❤
Dano and Robin need to video their life for everyone least once a week! I'm a 34 year old wife and mother of 3 in rural appalachian North carolina n I loved seeing their life watched the whole thing they hav knowledge to spread in masses!!
They should have a UA-cam channel of their own but then they don't want tech 😊
These people live a real life!! Thank you
If you can't build it, you won't be able to maintain it, then maybe you don't need it. This is a true wealth, thank you for sharing your farm and lives. Peter you are damn lucky.
To highlight on what you said I've realized decades ago, when you bought say a dryer, it came with a manual and everything was mechanical. You could work on your own things if you had the patience. Nowadays we have apple phones and electric cars, that need to be worked on by appropriate professionals.
Minimize effort, maximize return. I love this dude. So on par with things I was taught growing up.
“A higher use.” All things discarded can have a higher use. Very important.
Not sure about politicians... 😂
If I, a lowly human, could conjure blessings, I would send a bushel to this beautiful, strong, brave couple. My sister says, bloom where you are planted, and this takes great courage as well.
Thank you for sharing this video. I gives me hope. I love the idea of bringing a young couple into the Permaculture forest to teach and pass knowledge forward. In the interim, as you wait, remember the Woofers. If they could commit to three month periods, you would have both help and the opportunity to teach. Its truly is remarkable what happens to my spirit as I work in my own garden. The world falls away as my hands work the soil, plodding through decisions, and at the end of the day: satisfaction. 💕
They’ve certainly got all their ducks in a row…literally! Impressive 🦆🦆🦆
😂😂
I think what has changed for some since they started is plenty of the younger people are entirely vegan (I am not but for many the eggs even would be a step too far).
By far one of the best documentaries out there. You can see where real wisdom comes from. Felt sad when I realised that it finished.
I like this man's wording regarding the structure that used to be a bedroom. It appears a large rock or Boulder. Rolled down the hill, affecting the bedroom structure in some way. Referring to the structure, he said. Well, it used to be a bedroom, but a large, rock kind of CHANGED it. He did not say, destroy or ruin.He said CHANGED! This guy is totally in tune and in harmony with the land. He is careful with his words and does not view a " natural event as necessarily " bad or negative " . I could listening to and watch this couple 24/7 . Makes my heart sing!
Adapt and overtime
I love that change of speech as well. So glad others noticed the power of speech as well
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! For sharing, thank you for this powerful spiritual message, insight, knowledge & furthering my belief in self. I have such deep admiration for this heaven sent couple. Nothing gives myself, my husband & out 5 children more peace than the freedom of being one with the land, planting, foraging, eating what “we” produce & giving back to Mother Nature as she graciously gives to us in abundance. I’m in love with this circle of life, nothing ever really ends or dies, it may look different when it returns but it’s still a gift one must cherish. I do pray that my husband and I are able to visit and soak up as much knowledge as possible for our homestead. If it’s in the cards for us to stay there, it would be a great pleasure. Much respect & admiration to you Peter who travel all over to continue to spread and sow seeds of motivation, inspiration, joy, peace, mindful eating, culture, community & so much more. Gratitud, love & light 🙏 To God be the glory.
This is absolutely my dream. I'm currently on maui, got 5 kids pregnant with no. 6 and me and my husband are drooling over this lifestyle lol. I'm doing my own tiny homesteading with what I've got but I'm so excited for our new journey to homesteading! You both have been blessed beyond anything I could ever imagine. I'm so happy for you and so proud of the way you raised your kids and raised your food! Great job you two!!! You're a great example of how beautiful this life is.
Then you're the perfect candidate for who they want to succeed their homestead! Go ahead and reach out as they said in the video and description!

If everyone turned their yard into a garden , imagine how many less would go hungry..
Probably the Richest people you have interviewed.
Thank you ❤
My daughter at this very moment is busy transforming her front yard in a small city into a relaxing garden place instead of a useless LAWN. Already got some beautiful strawberries & several other things coming along very nicely
Until the government start's banning it.
Unfortunately way too many people do not have a piece of land on which to grow food.
@@daplace902 Cool. I have a few hanging baskets of herbs in my tiny backyard along with 2 ten yr old blueberry bushes. Always experimenting. Love it.
I've said this for years. Get rid of your lawn an plant your own food. It can still be beautiful but feed a whole street of people with healthy non GMO and pesticide ridden food. It's easy to change your sprinkler system to drip .
'the problem is the solution' = 'obstacle is the way. smart
this has been one of my favorite episodes in a while. we need more folks like them
Peter, I really appreciate your willingness to shine a light on people living quiet interesting lives. Almost everything is about perspective and whether you are in Amish country, the deep south, or anywhere else...you bring us along to listen and learn without judgement. Thanks!
I wish I could help them but an accident in 2003 left me wheelchair bound so I'd be more of a burden. This is a beautiful part of the US and definitely needs to be preserved.
Thanks as always Peter, I would never be able to see some of these gorgeous areas and lifestyles if it weren't for you! Much appreciated brother, love you and the awesome work you do

man! you are a natural storyteller.and you fit in in any culture.keep going ...lots of love and respect from Nairobi Kenya...come for a holiday and enjoy the other side of the world we love people like you
I lived on Molokai for over 3yrs... my oldest son graduated from Molokai High. My youngest was born on the Big Island. I dream of Molokai daily and still connect with Ohana there. I thank you for sharing your world with us. Namaste 🙏
Beautiful...it gives me hope for the future!! I'm their age as well...our generation tried to change things for the better...and they have accomplished that in their own way! Much PEACE & LOVE!!
I love how they have no TV or modern civilization comforts but are very up to date on religion and the world
If only I was 40 years younger. What a wonderful opportunity for someone to learn from them and get to live in that paradise. I do wonder about their daughters and the fact that neither of them want to live there and eventually take over. Great Video.
They both raised 4 daughters on that land, and none of them want to live there as adults to carry on and preserve their parents legacy.
Homesteading is not for everyone, it's a tough lonely harsh life because you have to do manual labor on a daily basis to survive.
Probably because they already been there done that already as kids
Are dano and robin planning to retire and move back to mainland?
Kids normally always return later in life. Seen it happen many times.
I lived on a ranch growing up,lived off the land. So much work to do. Couldn't wait to have a small piece of land to raise a family,which I did. I raised cattle,horses,chickens,and ducks,and grew veggies and alfalfa. My kids couldn't wait to leave. Lots of work. But in the long run they too live on small acreage. Circle of life!
I'm looking for homesteading videos on yt and I saw your notifications. omg thank you so much for sharing this Peter. I hope everyone reading this having an amazing dayy and keep chasing your dreams ❤!! Lord bless you all. Amen.
Look under Permaculture, syntropic agriculture.
I am startting to think that your content is the thing on UA-cam. I love the variations in the different lifestyles and the different people that so thouroughly open up and share their stories.
Again, Peter pulls together another video to show how beautiful our world is and how intellectual our people are about saving and preserving culture ❤
Kids look forward to Saturday cartoons. I look forward to Peter Santenello's UA-cam uploads,
Same!!
I wish I could visit there to just soak up all the knowledge
I hope that more young people wake up and take this path. For some of us, we saw the truth too late, those who control the food, control us.
And now that people are waking up to what the good life means, the big international banks and govts. are making it almost impossible for young people to buy land.
I wish i could live like this ... there is just no options.
@Nastassani sure there is. Just do what ya gotta do. We started transforming our back yard this year and it's amazing.
@@S3raphimathey’re looking
Love these two!! I'd absolutely love to learn what they have learned over the years and listen to their stories. If I were 20 I'd go out there and help out! 100% off grid here in rural Northland, New Zealand, so I am interested to see more like this. Thank you for posting!
What these 2 people have is EXACTLY...EXACTLY...WHAT I WANT!!! DON'T YOU?!?!?! I can SEE that they LOVE LOVE LOVE EACH OTHER! They have so much love that it pours out of their home and onto the land. Just the way it should be!!! Great full Just the way it should be ❤
Exactly what I want,
This is truly living a full life. Certainly easier to do in the climate like Hawaii.
Good God if I were 30 years younger I'd be signing up in a heartbeat to be there! This is what life was meant to be like!

Robin and Dani have truly been living the dream of Peace love hard honest work and true happiness. This is one of My favorites for sure!
Wonderful! I just wish Dano would let Robin talk and tell her story.
I was thinking the same thing. She’s been there longer, and I’m sure she has lot of great stories. He likes to hear himself talk, but I would like to hear the point of view of a goddess.
@@cynthiaweir5697He’s a man. Men should be speaking to men. Women should be speaking to women. It may seem sexist but in a civilized society that’s how it’s suppose to go. This is for the woman’s safety.

@@FAMD4SH Safety? How?
Am 31 years of age living in Uganda, and this is something I would love to do in back in my hometown Gulu city, God bless this couple🫶🏾, not all women can bare life out of the modern life we living in today. They are really blessed.
IMHO: Thank you, for sharing your FASCINATING, INSPIRING, story of how you developed your unique, self-sufficient lifestyle!! "BRAVO!!!!" You're living the Dream!!! ["shared"]
I think everyone in the world should be living just like this because it's natural and close to God even God had a garden.
Leave God out of it, it's not about religion.
@@stormflame829 Well, I think the person was commenting that because the people in the video were Baha’is and we worship God in our faith.
Some individuals believe that spirituality and nature are the same thing.
Who would build all our wheelbarrows?
..and leave the next gen iphone 20, cold ac, instant pizza, opera house, makeups behind? 😁😁
I love the way they still laugh with each other and have masses of energy, beautiful.
I was impressed by the old man's depth of knowledge.
They are equally knowledgeable!! They both bring to the table, maybe in different ways... But equally...
So nice seeing that people are going back to this way of life. When I was a kid I loved going to my grand parents' farm.
This people look healthy, not overweight since they don't consume tons of sugar, and they labor. Here is a simple recipe for being healthy. Wonderful couple.
They're Clueless about Avocado's being usually opposed by Nature-Preservers and Permaculture-Practioners? Never seen Permaculture-Practioners be fully unaware of that. I thought we were all united in saying this stuff us un-economic af and drinks Water like Insane
They do not look healthy!!
@ What do you mean they don’t? Pretty active, not overweight. They pull it all and you think they are falling apart or what?)))
What A Beautiful Couple, Happy You Met Them Peter!
My mother told me when i was quite you g,to be healthy,stay as close to the garden as you can. Words of wisdom taken to heart.
so beautiful to witness the prayer. amazing folks. real deal.
Here's the thing. Humanity loves technology, yet humanity loves and longs for this kind of life. If we could all just get back to real-life living along with using technology to have a balance between the two instead of letting one or the other take over, that would truly be a life worth living. Our existence today is just so incredibly out of touch its actually terrifying.
Imagine if we only adapted technology that supported harmony with nature.
They use technology as well. Any tool that is used to solve a problem is technology.
💯
@@jacobmitchell5066 right fridges oven power. Sure power tools and vehicles brought up all the supplies to build the home. If it wasn't for technology they wouldn't have what they have.
Poor deer . At least they went quickly .
This was a real treat meeting the permicultutist folk on Molichi. I'd have asked to visit with them to help out, but i'm a female at 72. The whole process of homesteading is a great experience. I lived at this for a few years with organic gardening. Permaculture is a powerful method i am just learning now.
Modern day Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve. The way we were meant to live. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing this lifestyle with us. ❤
kind of.... not 100 percent... ;)
Beautiful people. They are how I want to live in future. I’m from New Zealand and this way of life is beautiful. Well done
As someone who spend 3 years living offgrid on a homestead in the mtns of northern California. I love tbese videos lately! My wife an I are now doing our best to live off the land while still living in a "city" live 10mins away on 5 acres. Once the kids are grown we will disappear into the woods even more.
Do it now. The kids thrive.
@cosmicsquirrel7642 sadly wife is enjoying her Montessori teacher job an school for now. Never know where we will end up
@@JMcKee253 good luck to you and your family. We all have to do what we do. Kids seem to love the day to day work. I wish I'd started out with young ones. City grandkids love the novelty but they want their stims and we have to give them back.
Stunned to hear “the problem is the solution”. I had a boss who would say that to me. I’d stare at him with my hands on my hips & say “I’ll consider that”. I was a huge student of philosophy so I did ponder that teaching often. When I retired he called me his Warrior. Greatest gift I’ve ever been given.
And B’hai…another thing I haven’t thought of for years.
Great respect for these people who can actually & successfully make their life this way. I was invited to be Amish but I knew my worldly parameters. Again a high honor to be told I have an
“Amish heart.”
I felt your blessings & will receive them with memory & prayer.
The answer is in the question. That was my one. Best wishes.
Glad to see more sefl-sustained inteligent and kind people living with nature.
You have a lot of great episodes, but this one was a pure gem👌 this life is so fascinating! thanks for doing this one. Wish you'd do more like this! Very educational
