People starved, again and again in such situations, child mortality was about 30%. Survival determined by the seasons and luck... the true hunger that gnawed, again and again, at people in so may countries before we had such technology to relieve us - what blissful ignorance and 'real life and part of the nature'? Totally selfish presented as virtuous - and for her children she lives her desires... sad.

      Even when the cows start mooing in unison when you are trying to take a nap or get to sleep it is like a lullaby. I have such wonderful memories of spending all my summers on my Aunt and Uncles farm. We had everything: Cows, Horses, Sheep, Goats, dogs, cats, birds, deer out in the woods, we fished in our pond and had well water. We also had a massive garden where we grew our own vegetables and shared with all our neighbors which were all a few miles away from us, but they always came over to work the land. We did it together and we all ate together and had the most wholesome and wonderful life. I learned to drive an old Ford Truck when I was 10 years old on the farm and all the neighbors said that it was the perfect age to learn..giggles. We all rode our horses and had picnics by the pond or lake...we never once thought anything about sunscreen probably because we all had so much dirt on our faces from hard work.
      On Sunday's we would all go to church, most of us wearing our overalls and the girls in jeans or sundresses. We all had fried chicken, potato salad, apples pies made from our apple trees (an applesauce of course) and all kinds of pies and green beans and corn on the cob. Let's just say that a meal like that tastes so amazing after a hard days work on the farm.
      Your comment meant a lot to me because when summer was over and I was back in the city I could hardly stand the noise from the cars and the neighbors. Once you have enjoyed a whole summer of animals, family, gardening and fishing, etc. it is hard to come back to the city.
      When I retire I hope to live where there is a lot of beautiful nature around me.

      @illuminOz The island has a regular helicopter service twice a week. In the part of the world where this island is located, there are services provided for the citizens, so you don't have to own your own helicopter (or pay your medical bills), since those costs are shared by everyone through taxes. It works pretty neatly.

    • @ktb183
      @ktb183 3 года назад +1

      @illuminOz Sure, but you see, if people and companies share the cost, i.e. the way it is done in Northern Europe, it works very well, as opposed to the US, where everyone has to fend for themselves.

    • @ktb183
      @ktb183 3 года назад +1

      @illuminOz Yes, I must be naive. I am Scandinavian, so I know the system;) As you might have noted, these are the Faroe Islands. No highways, no trains (very expensive as I'm sure you know), no bridges. This helicopter probably serves more islands than this one. Anyway, I think it is kind of silly to criticise a system that you apparently do not know at all, and judge it by your own standards.

    • @lexaharpell5196

      There are many people around the world who live in remote areas/islands maintaining lighthouses for the benefit of many - and they too require supplies to be flown in.

      This is great - but what society and resources built and provided the resources to be able to live in a situation without famine? People starved, again and again in such situations, child mortality was about 30%. Survival determined by the seasons and luck... the true hunger that gnawed, again and again, at people in so may countries before we had such technology to relieve us - what blissful ignorance and 'real life and part of the nature'?

      @@hariseldon3786 Why is it selfish to live on that island, and more to point, why do you feel that this was presented as being 'virtuous'? They obviously have some sort of off-island income and supplement their food by producing locally. This is no different than living off of the road system in some place like an isolated Alaskan village. In ancient times, famine and death were common in these villages too. Much the same in villages around the world at different points in history that now benefit from better technology and transportation infrastructure to allow for living in such places better than generations prior. She lives in a multi-generation family location, that alone seems like justification for living in hard conditions as they do. Much like a family still living in their traditional village in Alaska. What is sad is your judgement of this lady and her family based on your own societal and cultural biases. Her children will be fine without your sanctimonious 'concern' for their well being.

She also sounds like a very educated person, and while one could recognize natural wisdom in a human being, there is more to her choice of words that suggest a more advanced cognitive development, something one does not achieve in isolation. So, we take the video at its face without knowing what is really behind it, and at its face everything looks beautiful. Other than that, we are approaching 8 billion mark, and and 8 billion people could not live in isolation on this planet. After all, humans are social beings.

I guess no matter how extravagant or beautiful the city might look like we still crave for some peaceful environment. Wherein we can enjoy what the earth has for us. Taking break with the city life and be able to wake up with fresh air and beautiful sunrise and to have a decent meal with your love ones without being interrupted with social media and everything.

      450 ewes live on the island. They produce 300-400 sheepskin per year, plus lots of renowned turnips that benefit from the guano-enriched soil. There are also guest cottages. 10-14 people from 2 families live on the island. The capital is not far, which they visit and where they even attend school. The helicopter visits twice per week with supplies and sometimes even tourists. So they are not as alone, isolated, remote, poor, or naturally-living as you might think. That doesn't take away from the beauty and peacefulness of the place, nor the hard work it takes.

    I visited the Faroes in about 1985 and camped and cycled round the islands, not, alas, visiting Store Dimun, though we must have gone past it on one of our many ferry trips between the larger islands. It is a truly magnificent place, utterly unforgettable. There is a place where there is a small bridge, only a few yards long, joining the two larger islands. The water between them is the Atlantic, so I can truly say that I have crossed the Atlantic on a bicyle! The islands are full of history and wonderful buildings.

    I live alone on 20 acres in South Carolina, and run a farm. All my food is produced on my land so i dont need to go shopping for it. I order almost everything i need from the internet so i dont go shopping for clothes or tools. I can count the amount of times i stepped off my property on two hands annually. Its not so different from their lifestyle. I would really enjoy living on that island.
    Im curious why they dont use a ship for travel, a quick rope climb down from the cliff and off onto the boat. Helicopters are extremely expensive to maintain.
