Thank you for this video which is the only one I've seen that gives you a feel for what it's like to be on the island in modern times. I know I will never be able to visit, so your tour is a gift for me. Well done!
I've been obsessed with Pitcairn for so long it's my dream to visit! How do people make a living there? I'd assume the little tourism doesn't supply them with enough
The main income for islanders is selling things they have made to cruise ships that pass by. There are also jobs on the island that are paid by the government. Running the store, the post office, maintaining the roads etc. All you really need money for is power, internet and food (most of which you can grow or catch yourself)
@@YoelAndMari internet is about $100 NZ a month. Power is expensive compared to NZ but there are always ways to save power. I'm not 100% on rent but everyone on the island owns there own homes. Some are paying a mortgage but they are small compared to NZ aswell
This was a nice video and we thank you for it! Just in reference to the church, it's not just a place where we have wonderful singing. The church is our family filled with love, Grace and forgiveness from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that which we project towards one another! What an awesome environment! We would never want to go back and be without Jesus, salvation and the family that we have gained in our local church! All the best for this video again! GOD be with you!!!
Hi, love the video, I've always found the subject of the mutiny fascinating. I also live 10mins away from Deptford, where the Bounty was fitted out before her fateful voyage. Also a few minutes more from Deptford is Greenwich where the opening scenes of the 1984 film, The Bounty, were filmed.
What happened to the website where the residents would post videos from Pitcairn? One video showed the impact of a hurricane a few years ago at Bounty Bay. Is that the Pitcairn Miscellany website? I see it's now available only by online subscription.
they have a long running problem with widespread and socially accepted child sexual abuse often their own children. Many are also inbred due to low population and barely any immigration or tourism. No inhabited place is free of crime.
I become very interested with your videos of Pitcairn,its a very beautiful place. Hope that younger generations will be there to stay and live. I'm fr Philippines and if given a chance i would love to visit this very nice place.
I'm going there soon on Aranui...waiting 3 years. Two days not enough time really and that is if we can land. Apparently there is a new landing on the other side of the island ? Down Isaacs looks like the secret place to go.... I would have missed that if not for you Wow ! ....so many thanks.
You will enjoy your time there! I’m almost 100% sure you will be able to land. The weather will have to be extremely bad for them not to try. Down isaacs is a great spot and very quick to do. Enjoy!
@@bradbrown3447 Very reassuring thank you Brad. You should have taken up residence ...you have a good Bounty surname. Your videos are amazing thank you ! ps What would be a good gift to take.....do they have a little library maybe a book ? I'm from Norfolk UK by the way... not the Island lol ...I have been there though.
I didn't see any Bounty bars in the store where you got your KitKat. Don't they have Bounty bars? Do they know that they exist? If not, do you think they might enjoy them if I bring a bunch of Bountys to them when I visit?
I watched some other vids on Pitcairn and they did not show how things have grown and modernized. Roads a police station cars pizza things are really improving. I guess the growth is for tourist visiting there and I see more cargo ships are visiting now. How many people live on the island now?
Yes the island is modernizing slowly! Quite exciting to see. There is still around 50 people on the island. The cargo ship has increased its tourist trips (pre covid) and the cruise ships are still frequenting (also pre covid)
@@bradbrown3447 I wonder if there's ever been any attempts to start a seaplane route from Totegegie Airport with like, a DHC Twin Otter or something similar?
Excellent....enjoyed! Wonder if there is enough of the old history, dating back to Bounty days (ie Adams grave, Thursday Octobers house remnants...Christians cave, etc) to create a "history of Pitcairn" episode? Thanks...great imagery! Andrew
I just got a wood carving of the hand on the vase from the 1940's. I've always really been so interested in this place since i was a kid and now im 31 but im just ecstatic I got one of your carvings from the OG age of the carvings. I hope I can visit someday. I wish the rules for foreigners to live there would change though.
Is there breadfruit plants still on the island? I read that they mostly died out in the mid 1800's during a drought. Thank you for sharing your videos. I will never get to visit, but I have always been fascinated by the history of the island. Hello, from Tennessee in the USA.
@@patrickfegerline I don't use google. You can't trust what they say. They manipulate their results to push an agenda. Plus, it's boring. I enjoy conversation with people. I find different cultures fascinating.
Imagine what the mutineers felt when they saw that ship burning away knowing that's their kiss goodbye to home, family and friends thousands of miles away.. I just watched the film 😁
I don't know what the mutineers thought, but mine would be, "OMG, that smoke will be visible for miles and if anyone sees it, I'm one step closer to a short drop and a quick stop".
Everything comes from New Zealand on a ship once every 3 months. They normally buy things online and get them sent to the shipping company to get to them. Talk about snail mail!
Great video, thanks a lot. How was the contact with the Islanders ? they are happy with the few tourists coming to the Island ? Easy talk with them about history and also the future of the island with now only 49 peoples living there (around 200 in the 70's). Want to go there One day ...
Hey brad, you said the longboats leave you there 9/10 times. I’ve heard if there’s bad weather the ship docks on the other side of the island, is there any truth to that? Cheers mate
You will need to get to Tahiti :) I think there is a LA to Tahiti flight? From there you fly to Mangareva. And then get on the ship to Pitcairn from there :)
Top 5 things to do on Pitcairn island: 1. Jump in the water 2. Buy yourself something in shop 3. Go to see police station 4. Go to see anchor (you can touch it once if you want) 5. Jump in the water
I know what you should do: On this rocky bay in 7:50 there should be a large natural swimming pool dug out, with rock walls and sea water inside. What is the use of living on an island without swimming options.
Loved the video man, makes me want to visit. I was wondering how Covid 19 has effected the community (if at all) be really interesting to hear whats happening with that in regards to a place like pitcarin
Pitcairn closed its borders very early. They are isolated and living their lives as they always have. Luckily the supply ship takes 14 days to get there from NZ. So the crew are able to bring supplies as they have already isolates on the ship!
@@bradbrown3447 wow thats really interesting. Dude you should make a video on it I'm sure people will be really interested on a video on covid about how a remote place is dealing with the issue.
Cool videos man. One thing I've always wondered about is - does Pitcairn have a bar or a pub? What's the alcohol situation? Can you buy beer, wine and spirits etc? I actually don't drink anymore, I'm just curious. "-)
New Zealand is a very close link for Pitcairn. Many have Nz passports and family in NZ. ANZAC day is also commemorating Pitcairn islanders that have fought in all wars
What a beautiful place. I can’t imagine living somewhere so remote. But I envy your apparently wonderful community you’ve got there. Would love to live in a place that has community dinners. I’d be willing to give up access to restaurants and such here in San Francisco. But you do have a pizza place, and that’s all you need, really 😂 Does Amazon deliver to Pitcairn?
Internet is slow. Like really slow! But who needs internet when you've got an island like that. Water is all rain water collected in tanks. I have touched a little bit on what life is like there but i will definitely have to do more! Thanks!
My guess most fully Foliage parts of the island would have at least 1 or more of the bugs in question since its a endless summer there and stuff that floats from 1 island to another like coconuts or branches would have Arthropods on it and would propagate on the Island too
@@bradbrown3447 Great, I had seen videos of the island, but in your videos you show more about the life and culture of the Pitcairn Islands. Greetings from Mexico. I subscribed to your channel 👍

I have been interested in Pitcairn Island for many years! Thank you! And, Merry Christmas!
Great video! Wonderful to see an islander's perspective on things! Thanks and look forward to new videos!

@@bradbrown3447 are those two things expensive in Pitcairin? What about homes/rent?
If you really are "obsessed" with Pitcairn, you would have found all the answers on the internet or from the Pitcairn island website.

Hello! I would love to purchase some items I saw in the videos. Can you please let me know how I can do that. 😊❤Thank You!!!
Very (very) cool ! KInda surprised the island has so many modern amenities. Would love to visit
it never used to be back in the day you had to paddle to shore on a canoe and then wait for a large wave to throw you over the rocks
@@millennium677That’s what I’m talking about. That’s exactly what I would expect.
@@elmono3939 yep, used to have to be a relative to go there aswell but they changed that
I almost recognize and memorize your place by watching your vlog.. love you bro

Thx for the vids place looks great finally was able to reach out to pitcain via messages thanks man hope to see it soon
Just found this video. Awesome! I really want to visit the island some day!!
Great vid. Your way of presentation perfectly complements a video like this!
amazing video mate, once covid is over I can't wait to visit from over here in Australia
Thanks for showing us . Love 💕 from Buffalo New York USA 🇺🇸
Glad I found this. Family & I have thought about relocating.
The greatest place for living innthe rest of life...maybe after 40th of age..... Great vids... Greet from Indonesia

I guess the locals need to make some $$ somehow.
They have all the comforts of home .. comp,beautiful vistas,tasty fish,quiet solitude, no crime ,far cry from life in Baltimore,Maryland
Along with savage pedophilia
Pizza delivery?😮
Check on the no crime thing, it's quite sad😢
they have a long running problem with widespread and socially accepted child sexual abuse often their own children. Many are also inbred due to low population and barely any immigration or tourism. No inhabited place is free of crime.
The no crime part is not quite right
Thank you for this! I’ve purchased some of the local honey and it’s amazing. I would love to visit someday
Glad you enjoyed it :)

Very good vedio ..thanks brother.. 👍👍
Where do you get your source of drinking water?
All drinking water is rain water collected on roofs
The Mutineers didn't have any sandy beaches, unfortunately, but Drone RUclips videos still show Pitcairn Island to be rather beautiful in spots
Is there any rivers or streams in Pitcain
Interesting vid never knew about pitcairn, apparently it's one of just difficult places to get to.
Yes it is quite difficult to get to. Always involves a few stops!
bloody marvelous
looks like the Philippines but Cleaner and Safer.
Do you have a lot of banana, sweet potato and taro planted? Maybe corn? Coconut?
Very Cool...! Is there a marina with slips for Sailboats ?
No. Bounty Bay and Tedside are the only 2 entry points and as you can see they are very small! Yachts have to anchor offshore
@@bradbrown3447 I watched some more of your videos and i figured that out, but thanks. Still, a Very Cool Place..!

The locals are grateful for the tourists :) they love showing off their island
Thank you Brad A1 i love it!
Have they ever wanted to extend the pier and make it longer? Can they?
Watching you from Manila Philippines myfriend
I’m assuming the store does not have Red Bull or Monster Energy drinks. Can it be requested and shipped in? Great fun watching your videos.
No energy drinks! Anything from Countdown can be requested from the general store
It's a beautiful island
thank you so much for sharing this
No problem 😊
Love your videos, I wonder which profession are most needed on the island . I would love to go live there.
Thank you, enjoyed
Hey brad, you said the longboats leave you there 9/10 times. I’ve heard if there’s bad weather the ship docks on the other side of the island, is there any truth to that? Cheers mate

Always wonder how you get here looks beautiful always wanted to go!

I must visit Pitcairn, like Joolz Tours.
Are you back on pitcairn Brad
the vids are from last year (as we learned in the mothers day video)
I wish 😥 planning another trip within a year :)
Good job my friend, please have a question and have a nice day
how do you get there? from argentina
Thank you for the video. And do you live there, or are you from there?
Thanks for the vlog. Keep update please :)
What’s the internet upload/downloads like? Also water etc? Love the vids, but actual how the islanders live would be amazing 😉

No i am living in New Zealand :)
brad brown ah cool mate. Was tad confusing when vids were filmed compared to their release 😂
are you still on island ?
No unfortunately not. It would be a great place to be right now!
Nice video. How are you all doing there now that there are no cruise ships coming by due to the pandemic?
I am not on the island at the moment. I am in contact with them and they are surviving as well as they always have :)
Hi, Great Vid. Are you still there?
Awesome videos Brad. Thank you ! May I ask, do you have centipedes or poisonous spiders or scorpions on Pitcairn Island?
My guess most fully Foliage parts of the island would have at least 1 or more of the bugs in question since its a endless summer there and stuff that floats from 1 island to another like coconuts or branches would have Arthropods on it and would propagate on the Island too
Water temp???
18 to 26 in summer

what do they teach in the school? What history? What books, text books? That would be interesting.
They teach the children that underage sex from 12 years old is legal and perfectly fine. It's a horrible deplorable community.
