Omg!! This guy has crazy skills to climb a tall ass tree with a machete in hand, no tree roping to hold him from a fall and no shoes... Amazing!! I would definitely experience this life style to test myself...❤

What a gorgeous panorama from the top of the palm tree! I love that you filmed from An's point of view as he climbed, even though I could scarcely breathe until he was back on the ground. I also love learning more about subsistence living in Mentawai versus what I normally see in North America. Another great video! :) 💙

Subscribed yesterday, this is interesting. Oh my.. This way of life was the way my grandparents was about decades ago in Java, place where I was born and grew up. And now I'm living in the city, thought I really miss that. But in the deep remote place in Java, they still have this kind of life. Selamat menjalani kehidupan yang bersahaja dan bahagia bersama suami tercinta. I feel so much love between you both. Salam dari Batam, Kepulauan Riau 😍❤💚

Hello Hello Batam. I was there in 1986? I left SingaPore on the ferry to Batam with the plan to cross to Bintan then by larger Pelni ferry to Jakarta or Medan. I asked for advice at the harbour control office, and said I planned to make my way to KotaLahat in south central Sumatra to meet my brother, a survayor on a TransMigrasi project there. The harbour master said for me to wait in his office, and a few hours later I was on a large tug boat towing barges to KotaPalembang, a memorable, special experience, three days across the MelaccaStraights and along the coast. On arriving in Pelembang the sailors put me on a bus that followed the SungaiMusi and other rivers to Lahat. I am surprised how much I still remember, even though at 74 I joke about suffering JoeBidenitis. Thanks for the memories.

In the Philippines, we call the residue of the cooked coconut milk, “latik.” Latik is used as topping for rice cakes. You can also use it as lepat filing, perhaps?

This is exactly the way my family in the Caribbean and their ancestors and family in India do it - skilled: no need for shoes or rope. The machine is great for large batches; I would always help my grand parents when I visited by grating by hand… a good way to while away 4-5 hours chatting and laughing. We would boil it straight away as well :) nice to know our human ancestors were doing things similarly to get what we needed for the necessities of life. No gym membership needed if we keep up some of these practices - of course technology is needed, but not for every single thing.

The use of coconut oil is apart of our daily routine here. We use it for our skin, hair and to cook with. I don't usually make it, I get it from my neighbor a few houses down as they make it (as a side hustle) in the same way you do and sell it locally. It goes FAST so I get a few bottles when it's available so as not to run out before they make another batch. When I do make it, I use the same process as well. I love making coconut cream and I use the flakes to make deserts, dumplings and other things. Much love and light to everyone, from the Caribbean. ❣

Hello Marjolein and Adrianus. I heard mention of ByronBay. 1978 to maybe 1983 I lived at TheChannon, a village in LismoreShire, due west of ByronBay. On the hill at night the LightHouse beam would sweep over head, but by day we were not high enough to see the coast. I still have friends there, and among many other ideas we plan to grow coffee, so I am interested in your interests. I also wondered which island, which side, you are located, as I had unthinkingly imagined the good waves came from the south or southhwest, and as your house is near the beach, and I guess near the surf, where does the sun rise and set. Where you sit and make your morning coffee do you face the sunrise, and become MataHari. My friends and I follow PermaCulture, and the two of you are in a prime place to practice it, and in so many ways already do. All the best, for now, Warwick.

Hi Warwick! Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment! Yes, people here already apply many principles off permaculture without calling it that ☺️ And yes, we do indeed live in a very wave rich area close to the beach 😁

You can try to stand for at least 24 hours your coco milk in fridge then scrape the hardened surface , then cook the collected gel like surface to shorten cooking time to produce coco oil.

Loved this episode! especially climbing the tree together with An because I’m afraid of heights and would never be able to do that in real life. Haha. Any idea why the coconut oil you buy in a shop is white? Is it commercial vs traditional processing?

@OurIslandLife 10 ай бұрын

Haha yes! This was the first time for me (Marjolein) seeing the view from the top as well! Not sure about the difference in color. But i think it’s because we cooked the milk straight away. I know that if you let it ferment a day or two first and then cook it it’s more white.
