Hello! It's our FIRST Christmas living off the grid! How is Xmas different for us living remotely on our homestead? What are our off grid plans to celebrate and how we'll keep warm as its set to rain! We also have a run down of whats been a crazy year from traveling full time in our self converted van to full time off grid life. ? BUY US A COFFEE (All your generosity goes direct to The Wild Lands) ▸ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thoseweirdos Thank YOU for watching and a VERY Merry Christmas from us Those Weirdos. We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, '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. 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 and learn homesteading, permaculture and how to deal with living off the grid! ? BUY US A COFFEE (or Guinness or Dog Wiccies) ▸ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thoseweirdos ? WHO ARE WE? We are Those Weirdos, A FAMILY OF 6: 3 people, 2 cats and 1 dog living full time in our self converted Sprinter van. on our off grid homestead in central Portugal. We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams. We've lived on the road as nomads for over 2 years now, and now we've bought off grid land in Portugal to create a homestead and a base for our travels. ? SUBSCRIBE!

What if Guy Ritchie had cast CHICKENS in SNATCH? Plus we fit a CHICKCOZY automatic chicken coop door. Missy puts in a pond for the chickens to keep cool in the summer. A homestead is never complete without lots of chickens, so we also get THE CUTEST new chicken you ever did see! Join us from our OFF GRID GARDEN in Portugal where we are growing a FOOD FOREST and embarking on our journey to be self sufficient and beat the cost of living crisis. We're starting to present like an off grid version of GARDENERS' WORLD!
