Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more videos! 💖😘
I made it through the whole video without looking away🍉🍉
As always very informative and enjoyable, top class👄👄👄
Aloha from Maui.
My wife has family property next to George Harrison’s estate. It was very nice at one time, but now just a battle against the 19 acres of jungle. My wife has 3 acres up in Haiku also, better location but still a pain in the butt… Montana would be my pick in the USA. If I could EXPAT out of the USA like I want… I would move to Russia, coutryside…
USA is not a sinking ship.
It is a sunk ship.
get out if you can.
We are on big island in puna and have a lot of videos about growing food. There are a lot of challenges due to the lack of soil and large amounts of rain we get.
Aloha from Maui. I just subcsribed to your chnl.
Aloha Mike and Paulina
I’ve really been enjoying the series. Looking forward to you doing Idaho and Montana.
People play up volcanic activity alot. Its really not as much of a threat as people think.
Also, all the different climates sound cool but really, for farming that means that the techniques you use on your property will not work the next town over. Theres aloooooot of trial and error. Half the farming tips on youtube dont work here.
rat lungworm is a major concern when growing food in hawaii. you also have to pay attention to elevation depending on what you want to grow, it changes very quickly if you’re up on the hamakua coast. one awesome thing is they have some super rich soil, i’m talking organic content of 25% in many areas.
I’ve lived on the big island for over 20 years, this is tourist book rumors and imagination. I wouldn’t rely on anything he says..
Do the Vatican next.🙄
Just bought a raw property in south big island Naalehu. Going to put a small off grid cabin on it very native feel around there good place to hang out couple months in the winter time.
I live on Big Island. I would say in terms of things for homesteading its actually easier than you think to get things. A huge percentage of the rural population lives off grid, so there are many businesses that carry catchment systems and off grid solar parts and plenty of people who know how to use them. We also have the most helpful homesteading community. 15 acres is too much unless you have cattle in your plans. The average person will struggle to maintain 3–but you can definitely produce all your fruits and vegetables and eggs and some goats on 3 acres and have some left for trades.
Hawaii is an amazing place! I’ve been here since 1998, but it’s time to move on. Living on 94 acres near Pahoa (Kapoho), where it’s warm, but rarely hot, moderate rainfall. Elevation is 220″ to 325′, which is the preferred climate for Papaya and many other fruits.
Lovely ocean view makes it so nice. It’s for sale and it’s not that expensive….around $700K. It’s not listed yet, so if anyone interested, let’s make a deal without paying commission to a realtor.
There is already a huge problem with the displacement of local families and gentrification of the islands which is felt more and more every day. Another key factor that most don’t realize is that ALL land titles are defective and there is a movement growing to reclaim stolen ancestral lands that remain in allodial titles (fee simple). If there were ever a collapse scenario the only strength will be your relationship with the local community which as you mentioned is very weak with recent transplants. I highly suggest that people look elsewhere for their sanctuary,
Getting ready to move to our house in puna district……real soon..😅😅..alot of places have no soil….we have to learn how to grow using sun rain and mulch
Hawi and Hilo are too expensive. If you want to homestead head to Fern Acres, Mountain View, or Kurtistown.
USGS has good soil maps as well for planning
He said Hi Low….lololololol
Chicken coops….lolol….. Not honey bees
