    I used to live on a farm in a little place kinda like this! There are a lot of things I miss and a few things I don't miss too lol! I stayed in a little camper that had a small two room structure attached to it. The camper was basically my friend's kitchen/dining room but it had a bed at the other end so I stayed there for a while. The farm had a bunch of other people on it too and that's what I miss most. Living with so many fun, artsy, eccentric, funny, talented, weirdo punks and old hippies was absolutely a highlight of my life and I'm so glad I had the chance to do that. It was an amazing experience and I have zero regrets.
    Oh and to anyone in the comments who said it's culty or whatever, grow up. There's intentional communities alllll over the place and 99.9999% of them are just regular ass people. Just because there's a group of folks living together doesn't mean it's a cult. 🙄

    What heaven on earth!
    You are in a safe place with people you can trust that are gently guiding, teaching, and nurturing your interest in nature and life.
    Some people can wander their whole youth looking for something safe and never find it because they started off on the outside.
    I hope this feeds your life force and that you spread it to the outside someday.
    Tips about pee:
    It takes a few days for your pee to break down and to start turning into ammonia.
    Hand-washing your pee cloth with some soap every few days should be fine.
    Ammonia (a cleaning chemical) is very harsh on the skin.
    Prevent ammonia smell from building up over time near your dwelling by dispersing your pee (simply walk farther away to pee).

    Love & Light to you and your travels.

I’ll be here in the shed for a few more months until my 6m x 9m house is built. I’ll be kinda sad to move out I think. Also, If you catch your wee in a bucket, it’s full of nitrogen and your compost heap will like it.

    • @ginamin
      @ginamin  5 месяцев назад +5

      the floor is actually not finished and the greenhouse doesn't meet the floor properly so there are cracks everywhere for air to flow in and out! and i think that this situation works for this climate and season (which is the temperate coast in the summer) so i thankfully don't have to worry about heat and humidity. it sometimes gets hot on sunny days mid day but i just find shade outside!

      You’re not crazy. There’s a lot of unwritten knowledge and social situations that are associated with all things that make them easy for some people to get started and very difficult for others. Many people don’t know how to move abroad, find a job abroad. Travel to tother countries that aren’t “vacation” destinations. I do. I have no idea to meet or integrate with people like in this video. I could barely learn how to go camping if I wanted.

    • @auchtr
      @auchtr Месяц назад +1

      i kind of understand how you feel! i would advise you to start small. learn how to go camping before you dedicate yourself to this! start by figuring out what you need to think about when you go camping: shelter, food, first aid, waste management, etc. make lists, do research, see if you can borrow supplies before committing to purchases because they can be expensive! you can start by car camping, and slowly work your way up to backcountry or more intensive trips. there’s tons of resources online that can help you learn, too! you can go to outdoors stores like MEC (not sure if it’s global, i know we have it where i live) and ask staff a million questions, they’ll be happy to help! please don’t feel like you’re trapped; just because you can’t go from 0-100 right away doesn’t mean you can’t get there eventually. the first step is going 0-1, if that makes sense! sorry for the ramble, and i hope that something i’ve said sticks with you. go after it!!!

    Glad for your journey. Some tips from someone who was once in a group that eventually became hard to leave: Keep your own bank account and build a savings. Read books and stay nourished from those in the community AND those outside of the community. Keep your own means to leave if for any reason you ever want to, and make friends with people outside of the group. It's good to live in community. It's also good to have your own agency to leave and go elsewhere if ever you want to.

  • @atc35012
    @atc35012 5 месяцев назад +42

    You make this lifestyle look comfortable. I lived like that for about 6 weeks a few years ago. The people who owned the property were really mean and I spent most of my days trying not to break the billions of rules while I shoveled up and pushed animal poop around in a wheel barrow. I was expected to pull nails out of planks of wood using a hammer and a crowbar the rest of the time if I wasn't shoveling. They eventually asked me to leave because I was not working enough. I couldn't physically keep up. They wanted me to work there from sun up to sun down. They made it extremely difficult to eat or drink anything. I was starving. When they would have friends over it was so nice to go back to civilization for a few days so I could eat and drink enough without consequences. During my time at this makeshift farm I used to escape to Home Depot and swear to them that I was at my job working the entire time that I was gone. I needed to get back to the life that I recognized. I spun the numbers of the lock of their gate before I left to show my lack of appreciation. I knew that this was the rule they made very clear never to break because it was the #1 thing they could not stand to happen. This sent them both into a state of unrelenting emotional upheaval. Boo hoo. Hahaha.
