30 Years Homesteading in Europe - Farming, Self-Sufficiency, Freedom 🇫🇷

Peter Santenello - 2024-10-19

Far off in the countryside of Brittany, France, is a family that's homesteaded for the last 30 years. Here, they've created their own world built around the food they eat and the land they till. Join me today as we travel deep into rural Europe to learn about this lifestyle based on self-sufficiency and freedom.

@@jakew1362 I don't know the sentiment of the "vast majority" of rural Americans, but the imbalance caused by consumerism is pretty apparent.

I think it's the natural state of the vast majority of all people to seek the kind of equilibrium that a slow, purposeful life brings. That life's being made increasingly more impossible by the trappings and demands of consumer culture.

And I think people are feeling a growing sense of confined frustration and meaninglessness due to it. And I think those closest to their rural roots feel it the most.

@BearMountainRancher - 2024-10-20

Greetings from Japan -

This video is truly a remarkable and inspiring profile of Samuel and his family’s self-sufficient homestead in Brittany, France. Samuel, his sister, and his father are deeply thoughtful, articulate minds living an extraordinary dream. Their self-sufficient way of life is nothing short of admirable.

Samuel’s intellect and practical wisdom shine through in every aspect of his existence—from growing all their own food to managing the daily needs of their farm with an innate connection to the land. Raised and homeschooled in a rural environment, he’s cultivated a profound understanding of the world, paired with a quiet devotion to caring for his father and sister. The simplicity of their life belies the depth of knowledge and precision with which Samuel runs the farm, embodying a harmony with nature that is rare and deeply fulfilling.

I connected so deeply with Samuel's sentiment about preferring to stay at home on the farm. I too find peace and fulfillment in the self-sustained life we’ve built, where everything we need is right here at home. His methods remind me of the traditional farming practices here in Japan, where small farmers use no fertilizers or pesticides, employ ducks to control pests, weed by hand, and grow heirloom crops—farming practices as natural and pure as Samuel’s.

This is one of the best videos I’ve watched on YouTube, or anywhere else for that matter. Thank you for sharing such a profound and beautiful glimpse into this life.

Sincerely,
Bear

@aguineapig1 - 2024-12-18

@@okweedcoolbroismokeyes64 Kind of a smooth-brain take. If people don't have passionate pursuits like this, and automation proceeds as you expect it will, people will just kill themselves out of boredom due to the unstructured time -- some people quickly and overtly, and others a little more slowly and inadvertently. You see both trajectories in retirees, and then some who find ways to keep occupied who do quite well.

I started with a first video: Poorest region of America in West Virginia which I found well filmed and very touching.
Then, the algorithm offers me this one with Samuel from Brittany : What a crazy surprise !! Amazing !!
I watched it straight away in its entirety. What a pleasure to discover this great character, his life project, his super cool family....
What a pleasure to listen to Samuel for 55 minutes... We could listen to him for hours...
A big thank you for your work of highlighting !! Keep it up !!

"Culture stems from the land and from the people farming it".
This is a powerful sentence. If people lose connection to the land, culture becomes an amusement for pastime, and soon you will feel like going to disneyland.

What I love the most about this video, is how close his lifestyle is to Tituts and yet hies views vary greatly. The modern world tends to tell us that you need formal education and to travel the world to come up with ideas, while these people teach us that giving your brain time to work and the right nutrition, it will form incredible thoughts. This is the true diversity that all these soulless corporations boast about.

@vaude77 - 2024-11-08

Definitely, I love Peter’s videos and certainly identify much more with Samuel than Titus despite the similarities of lifestyle. But then I’m a product of a culture much closer to Samuel than Titus - the religiosity of the US can be quite alien.

@CatherineOrganes - 2024-10-19

Peter, Bethan's response about "what do you feel about where the world is going?" Is spot on. Our kids are the ones we should be building a future for and instead we have become a society so involved in ourselves..our work, our school, our financial woes, or health, our social media..and never taking the time to just spend with our kids with no distractions, and teaching them morals and values and hard work and not allowing social media or the world teach them or influence them. Getting back to family. Same idea the Amish have same idea the Hisidic jews have....it always comes back to family and virtues.

@NMV-ej4zd - 2024-10-20

@CatherineOrganes I also admire this young man and his family, and their love of Earth, and natural and mostly self-supported living, but your statement about getting back to "family," with the "ideas of Amish and Hasidic Jews," one must know that many extreme religions and narrow cultures oppress females, which is not virtuous or healthy.

I like this chap, and as much as he probably doesn't realise it, he embodies a lot of what it is to be a Yorkshireman. Blunt, to the point, slightly unyielding on opinions, doesn't like parting with money....wears a Flat cap.

As a Yorkshireman myself, of almost equal age, I get exactly what he means and why he's out there doing things as he sees right.

He also, hasn't entirely lost the North Yorkshire accent, either....which again, as someone from the same area, I have touches of despite moving around a lot as a youngster.
