They are lying to you about self sufficiency - Powering our off-grid life with the Bluetti EP500pro

As we are still waiting for building materials to be delivered and the digger engine to be installed, we just get busy with some things on the land and in the kitchen and garden. After a succesful growing and preserving year I also felt called to share some more thoughts on self sufficiency.

New here? My name is Lea and I live with my partner Maarten, our daughter Puck and toddler Bo on our land in Central Portugal. We left the rat race in the Netherlands in 2018 and moved south in our old campervan. Two years ago we bought land in Portugal that had been abandoned for several decades. After lots of hard work we now live in a beautiful yurt and keep ourselves busy growing our own vegetables as well as producing olive oil, wine and honey on a small scale. This channel documents all the different jobs we have to do, and sometimes some nice footage of this beautiful country we now call home.
