Hello! In today's episode (EP3) we start clearing the entrance and parking and living area at the top of The Wild Lands. It's a mammoth task particularly in the Portuguese heat, but we adapt our sleep patterns to start work very early when it's cooler.So we decided to do little but often and in the coming weeks we'll be focused on access and parking. Features Martin from Houseless not Homeless, check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/HouselessNotHomeless We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'. We've been searching for our own slice of heaven to start a homestead. We decided to base our search around the Castelo Branco region of Portugal, as the land here is not only beautiful, but far cheaper than the Algarve. Equally, there are many off grid families in the region, and we wanted to be close to a community of like-minded people. We were 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas while we waited for our D7 Visa for Portugal. After nearly 6 months of waiting, we got to leave! This was a mammoth task as we had to transit through France to Spain in 24 hours or less! (see previous videos) Now we've finally bought our own at land in Portugal. Follow us on our adventure in the sun! (and sometimes biblical Portuguese rain!!!) As we start turning The Wild Lands' into our own off grid heaven. ?

Hello! In today's daily Vlog we had to leave our wonderful beach park up as we ran out of electricity for a bit of gripping real vanlife! I talk the basics around solar power management and why we ran out of power, battery to battery charging whilst driving and campsite hook up.
