Omg!! This guy has crazy skills to climb a tall ass tree with a machete in hand, no tree roping to hold him from a fall and no shoes... Amazing!! I would definitely experience this life style to test myself...❤
Yes 💯
Coconut oil looks fantastic but there is no way I would attempt to climb that tree! Very skilled 🙏🏴
Hahahaa yes very skilled indeed 🙌🏼😅
Nothing tastes quite like fresh coconut milk in coffee on Marjo and An's porch!
You’re one of the few people who knows the taste 😉
Fascinating 🥥 Such skill climbing those trees to - OMG my stomach was actually doing flips just watching he footage up there - Epic skills ✌🌿
Hahaha yes 🫣
We have so much garbage in our products and food here in the US. I would be in heaven with fresh coconut oil, water and milk. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!!
Awesome. Educational.
Thank you!
I substitute coconut oil in place of butter in a lot of my baking. Anything that would go well with a hint of coconut flavour. Banana bread is amazing made with coconut oil instead of butter. Can’t wait to have a local supply of coconut oil again!
Yes same!
This is exactly the way my family in the Caribbean and their ancestors and family in India do it - skilled: no need for shoes or rope. The machine is great for large batches; I would always help my grand parents when I visited by grating by hand… a good way to while away 4-5 hours chatting and laughing. We would boil it straight away as well :) nice to know our human ancestors were doing things similarly to get what we needed for the necessities of life. No gym membership needed if we keep up some of these practices - of course technology is needed, but not for every single thing.
Yes!! Exactly 💯
I have that espressomaker too. The coffee from it is so good. My wife is from the philippines and they use the oil for a lot of things too
Haha yes live it!
Greetings from Cianjur, West Java, love to see your vlogs, and wishing more vlogs to come
Thank you! And yes, stay tuned for more!
Another fab video!….ugh, but that scary climb!….fascinating to see how you made the oil & all of the work that goes into it.
Yes indeed! Always holditmy breath when An is climbing 🙈
I hadn't seen coconut oil making before. If milking is done with the help of blender by adding a little bit more water you could obtain a bit more oil (?). Thank you very much for sharing. Regards from Canada.
Thanks fir watching! 🙏🏼
I love how everything works there its so beautiful 😁💖
Yes there’s a solution to everything!
you're very strong. I can't carry that basket full of coconuts. Love watching your videos guys
Thanks!
Ohhh lekker en gezond…coconut oil! Leuke video weer! Bedankt!
Groetjes uit Nieuw Zeeland! ❤️🤗
Dankjewel 🙏🏼
Watching the whole proces makes me appreciate the delicious coconut oil you brought me in Belgium even more 😍 xx
Hihii yaay 😘
Absolutely amazing guys 🙏🏼 , I just watched someone make coconut oil in paradise 😃
Haha thanks Jon!
Subscribed yesterday, this is interesting. Oh my.. This way of life was the way my grandparents was about decades ago in Java, place where I was born and grew up. And now I'm living in the city, thought I really miss that. But in the deep remote place in Java, they still have this kind of life. Selamat menjalani kehidupan yang bersahaja dan bahagia bersama suami tercinta. I feel so much love between you both. Salam dari Batam, Kepulauan Riau 😍❤💚
Ooh thank you for your kind words! And thank you for following along! 🙏🏼☺️
Hello Hello Batam. I was there in 1986? I left SingaPore on the ferry to Batam with the plan to cross to Bintan then by larger Pelni ferry to Jakarta or Medan. I asked for advice at the harbour control office, and said I planned to make my way to KotaLahat in south central Sumatra to meet my brother, a survayor on a TransMigrasi project there. The harbour master said for me to wait in his office, and a few hours later I was on a large tug boat towing barges to KotaPalembang, a memorable, special experience, three days across the MelaccaStraights and along the coast. On arriving in Pelembang the sailors put me on a bus that followed the SungaiMusi and other rivers to Lahat. I am surprised how much I still remember, even though at 74 I joke about suffering JoeBidenitis. Thanks for the memories.
What a gorgeous panorama from the top of the palm tree! I love that you filmed from An's point of view as he climbed, even though I could scarcely breathe until he was back on the ground.
I also love learning more about subsistence living in Mentawai versus what I normally see in North America. Another great video! :) 💙
Oh thank you! And yes, I’m also holding my breath every time he climbs a coconut tree 🥹
Nice video, very nice and beautiful place, coconut oil...its remain me of my late grandma at my hometown...she cooked coconut oil

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing

You can try to stand for at least 24 hours your coco milk in fridge then scrape the hardened surface , then cook the collected gel like surface to shorten cooking time to produce coco oil.
We’ll try next time now that we have electricity and a fridge!
Hello Marjolein and Adrianus. I heard mention of ByronBay. 1978 to maybe 1983 I lived at TheChannon, a village in LismoreShire, due west of ByronBay. On the hill at night the LightHouse beam would sweep over head, but by day we were not high enough to see the coast. I still have friends there, and among many other ideas we plan to grow coffee, so I am interested in your interests. I also wondered which island, which side, you are located, as I had unthinkingly imagined the good waves came from the south or southhwest, and as your house is near the beach, and I guess near the surf, where does the sun rise and set. Where you sit and make your morning coffee do you face the sunrise, and become MataHari. My friends and I follow PermaCulture, and the two of you are in a prime place to practice it, and in so many ways already do. All the best, for now, Warwick.
Hi Warwick! Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment! Yes, people here already apply many principles off permaculture without calling it that ☺️
And yes, we do indeed live in a very wave rich area close to the beach 😁
Interesting. I wonder why your coconut oil look different. The coconut oil we get from the supermarket is white and harden when it's cold.
And now I'm craving coffee with coconut milk, but it is 5pm, so I'll never sleep. Thank you very much!😅
Hahahaaa 😜☕️
I watched An climb that tree,but still don’t understand how he did it, so scary, no safety rope. Your island, home, life, and videos are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You’re welcome! Thanks for following along!
hahahaha... your coffeebreak just made me giggle! ... the comment... but better :D So funny!
Dank je wel voor deze video. Opnieuw suuuper leuk, suuuuuuper intressant and it makes me miss indonesia so much!
Hahahaa thank you!
Ampas minyaknya disebut galado...enak untuk bikin nasi goreng.
Yaaaa ☺️🤤
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊

Hi am Peter and l am a great fun of your island living life well do you make beer from coconut trees coz here in Kenya we usually make beer called Mnazi just curious
Hi Peter! Ooh interesting! We’ve never heard of that! They so make some type of alcohol of it here but not beer.
.👍
😊
Loved this episode! especially climbing the tree together with An because I’m afraid of heights and would never be able to do that in real life. Haha.
Any idea why the coconut oil you buy in a shop is white? Is it commercial vs traditional processing?
Haha yes! This was the first time for me (Marjolein) seeing the view from the top as well!
Not sure about the difference in color. But i think it’s because we cooked the milk straight away. I know that if you let it ferment a day or two first and then cook it it’s more white.
After getting thevovonut oul cook the rest and mix with brown sugar or mucovado
Yumm we’ll try next time!
The coconut machine
🤗🤗
The use of coconut oil is apart of our daily routine here. We use it for our skin, hair and to cook with. I don't usually make it, I get it from my neighbor a few houses down as they make it (as a side hustle) in the same way you do and sell it locally. It goes FAST so I get a few bottles when it's available so as not to run out before they make another batch. When I do make it, I use the same process as well. I love making coconut cream and I use the flakes to make deserts, dumplings and other things. Much love and light to everyone, from the Caribbean. ❣
Amazing! 🤩
How high was the coconut palm An climbed? Terrifying...! 😮
Not sure, but yes pretty scary 🫣
Try to make coconut sugar from coconut tree. Its call gula jawa or gula kelapa.
Oh interesting!
Are you or An skilled in making coir string and rope from the conanut husk?
No we’re not, they don’t really do that around here.
I will never complain about the price of coconut oil again (France)
Hahahaa 👌🏼☺️
Have tiny coconut is quite dangerous
