The Man Living in Complete Isolation for 40 Years (Part 4/4) | Far Out

  • Since 1965, Faustino Barrientos has lived alone on the shores of lake O'Higgins in a house built from the remains of a shipwrecked fishing vessel. He's a pastoralist, living mostly off the land and his livestock, with few modern amenities. His nearest neighbors are in Villa O'Higgins, a small community of several hundred people, 25 miles away, accessible only by a two-day horseback ride through rugged mountain animal paths. Every few years, Faustino makes this ride to sell his cattle in town.
    Currently 81 years old, Faustino is reaching the end of his life, and his self-imposed isolation is being encroached upon by the forces of government, economy, and tourism. In December 2011, VICE went to document his lifestyle and speak with him about the changing face of Patagonia and the gaucho lifestyle.

    for anyone wondering, Faustino is still alive! last report of him was August 19th, 2020. he looks healthy in the photos, accompanied by his two dogs :)
    to those who wonder where did these photos came from - a few police officers went to his home to bring him clothes and chop some wood for him and they (police) posted pictures of him, in their official twitter account.

He shot his food & mined gold to get money. Eventually died in his late 80s because he fell off a cliff and laid there and couldn't get help. That's the chances you take, living in the mountains!

      the only trouble is he ended up murdering someone. Hope he repents
      of sin while there is time for him and commits to Jesus so he can avoid hell.
      But he is resourceful and a decent builder which is good. You would
      have to be a hard person too to slaughter animals. Unless you just lived
      off vegetables. But I think a lot of people see that as a romantic kind of
      life with the boat coming in every 10 days or so and total peace and quiet.
      A bit like living on a desert island. I am not sure how he makes his money?
      but he would have to eat his tinned food fairly fast too or the cans would go
      rusty. But I must say animals make for way more lovely company
      than people. So yeah it is more appealing in many ways to live like that.
      But I think its better if say 2 or 3 live that way in case you got sick or
      disabled.

      his animals would go hungry. The seasons for him are the same for me

    I enjoyed this story. While in watching this, one does wonder about the Faustino of yesteryear, you can't help but feel endeared to this ol' fellow. Initially you get the impression of a cantankerous old hermit living like some kind of troll in the wilds of Patagonia. What I see was a kind old man with an easy smile. He really seems to enjoy Lancaster living on his land, which again, defies the Faustino his family described. By the way, I completely believe that his nephew was stealing from him! If Faustino put some lead into his arse, then good enough for him!
    Long Live Faustino!

    The guy who was making him bad to everyone is actually a thief and it is his family. Fake news back in the day. It ruined this amazing guys reputation.

    He seems like a good man.
    He has his daily routine, his hospitality for the beautiful young lady was to take her on an adventure, kill one of his prize animals to feed them on the trip. It's probably been 40 years since he's seen a beautiful woman like that who was there just to talk with him. He seized the moment and enjoyed it! :-)

    Wonderful to see this beautiful land, thank you for making that possible. Loved the subtle guitar music and photography. I would have liked to hear more from Faustino e.g. about his parents, his siblings, his love life if any. I always feel a pang if envy when I regard a man who has lived so close to Nature. Spring came earlier that year he spoke of. It’s reasons such as this keep a man young.

    I live everyday of my life like this. Wouldn't want it any other way. Sometimes being "AWAY" from it all is EXTREMELY refreshing and rejuvenating. People needing to be around others ALL THE TIME i'll never be able to figure out. I think you have a stronger character being able to rely on yourself then others all the time. But hey that's just me and apparently this guy in the video also.
