The Man Living in Complete Isolation for 40 Years (Part 2/4) | 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.

      Just that it wasn't on camera , is no proof she came empty handed. Maybe even all the trouble and huge journey she took on to meet him , might have been enough of a peace offering . A 'bottle of wine" would be the last thing on my mind to give him , I'd rather choose something realy useful he could use for a long time .

And watching this man I have realized that the less you are surrounded by people, the more wise and conscious about life you become, you appreciate or notice simple thing that everyone else would ignore like the changing weather, etc. You follow your instincts and you do things that woulden't do when you are around people, it's a feeling hard to describe.

Unfortunately most people are to preoccupied with the fabrications of modern life to understand the truth of nature. So take some time here and there and notice the differences.

    So many people raging at the word complete in the title. What the fuck did you expect. It's virtually impossible to live on Earth without any human contact. If this is not "complete" isolation, its as close as it gets. Humans are social creatures that can hardly survive alone and need intellectual interaction with their peers. That's why isolation can have really bad consequences in human psyche. I think the documentary is a really good one and that this man is remarkable. He shows a lot of intelligence and perception and he probably knows more about current events than the average person who despite having access to an endless flow on info thanks to modern technologies, chooses to be quite ignorant..

    Nice enough guy but this whole series is pointless. He likes being alone. So? Is that really such an oddity to warrant flying across the world to talk to him? Given he has modern technology (solar panels, chainsaw etc), plenty of wine, newspapers, new calendars etc, he is not in any way 'completely isolated.' I live in a city but have no family or friends. Other than saying 'thanks' to a bus driver or the girl who gives me change for groceries at the supermarket, I often go months without conversation. A whole year back in 2013. Not sure if its healthy for humans to live like that but some people prefer it. Does Vice really think its worth interviewing me? I don't.

      One of the down sides of being born in today's society is that the education system doesn't educate. Instead it programs people such as yourself to view anything that doesn't fit the agenda as either taxable, illegal or impossible.
      With an attention span shorter than a cockroach's penis, listening and reading comprehension abilities are non existent and obviously reasoning or problem solving, thinking outside the box (aka the indoctrinated agenda) is a no go.
      Their skill set is typically limited to grammar and spelling Nazi-ism. Any questions they might pose are not out of genuine interest, but rather as an affront, an attempt to ridicule someone who is obviously thinking and living outside of the box. They also have a strong belief in global warming whilst the males self hate / despise healthy expressions of independence or masculinity.
