I have been watching your videos for two months now and love the content. You can also catch fish when you don’t feel like going underwater. You can research making fish pots, placing them in the ocean and retrieving them. Be blessed

I miss the Mentawais so much, looking forward to heading to Rote this week 🙏🏽🤙🏾

Great looking cook top and stove for $700 USD, looks way better than any offered in the states for that price range congrats amazing

I love it!!! What a massive undertaking just to get a stove! Much like our life here.. it’s so obvious that you will enjoy the convenience of your new incredible kitchen while also continuing to embrace what is so raw and beautiful about remote island living. Incredible story you guys are sharing ❤❤❤

Simple life channels are cool and all, but yours honestly seems way more unique than that. Living a simple life and building from that in a challenging location makes for a very fun watch. Plus we watch because you two are fun, not just for that. Hope you're both well <3

Great video! Really shows how tough logistics are living so remote 👍🏻 I was wondering if you could maybe make a video about plastic pollution and how bad it is in the Mentawai islands. I found that often the less developed and more tropical paradise-like places in Indonesia have the worst plastic situation due to poor waste management and nearly no awareness of locals about how "buang sampah" really ruins the environment 😢 Would be nice to see how you guys deal with trash and how the situation is on your island or the other islands around you.

Hi,im your new subscriber.i like your island life,its interesting and looks fun.enjoy your life

Congratulations Marjo, on the mission to buy your beautiful new stove. It fits perfectly in your new kitchen. I totally vote for Anh to make the kitchen cabinets, as he mostly built your beautiful house. Thank you for bringing us on your journey to your paradise :)

Congratulations - Your house is amazing!

Happy belated birthday and Thank You for sharing this.

Let give An a try! Gonna be perfect 👌🏼

Wow Paradise🎉

I'm so excited for you guys it's beautiful! ❤️ Love you guys❤

Good morning Good night or good evening watching from ST Vincent and the Grenadines blessings upon you all love your stove

You all seem very happy you all need some kids

Congratulations on getting your cooking stove/oven. 🎉 I found your channel through another platform I follow. I absolutely adore you both - I am enjoying your content/channel! Living in the USA for some time but originally from the 7K +island- Philippines (yes, Indonesia wins on double the amount of islands !)😂😊😊 watching your channel makes me feel homesick! Looking forward to seeing what you cook with your swanky stove cooker. Cheers.

This is so amazing to see. I think if I were to try this for at least a month, as long as I was in good company, it would be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my whole life! God bless you.

Modernity is not a sin as long as it does not change who you are inside. Congratz for a new stage in your life.

Congratulations on your new additions, hehehe . I ve been watching your progress .. I hope you guys upload more videos ..

Very nice

I'm so happy for you ❤

It’s amazing how you 2 have build a beautiful home together. Growing up we didn’t have electricity and running water. Though it wasn’t off the grid type of living it was just under developed at the time. Miss those days. Hopefully, you guys stay healthy and continue building your dream life on the island. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.

Where and how do you get the Gas for the stove from?

Beautiful house

I love to watch your videos and am writing you guys for the first time because I just watched the video of your stove, now I want to see you baking, 😄

Really your life is super ❤🎉

❤❤❤❤❤❤

No more getting wood to cook unless you just want to! That was some undertaking! I feel like you two are moving through the ages..you started in the caveman era and are now getting close to the current age!! Yayyy! I was so happy to see you two today!

Congratulations for your new stove thanks for sharing

Step by step success

Moving to the island 3 years ago, building a house, starting to live there full time, not giving up despite all the difficulties, means success in this life. Congratulations .

Congratulations on your new stove❣ It will make your already beautiful life that much nicer. If your husband wants to build the cabinets, I'm sure that will come out great. Always love updates of your lives on the island💖🌴 Thank you for the video.

I vote for An to build the kitchen cabinets.

So happy for you guys. Congratulations on your new stove. It's beautiful, enjoy it. There is so much commonality in our lifestyles and where we are currently on our journey. My partner and I are building our home by ourselves and must also get cabinets built. I think An should build them, they may feel more special. Best of luck with everything.

Those Pumpkin snacks are so good with coffee....I miss them a lot. Your husband is smart and kind!

Thanks for this video. I was curious as to how you got supplies to the island. Very interesting. I vote for An to build the cabinetry. He is so amazingly talented and I know he will do beautiful work. My husband, with no experience, built our cabinets. It was so nice to personalize everything as he worked.

wow sometimes I wish I had an oven like you bought. i have one with 4 induction fields and I discovered that you can't put four large pots on it because the plates are too close together, so you can only put on two big pots maximum. if I cook for a lot of people, I usually use large pots. but i think your oven is big enough for big pots. I built some cabinets myself. You need a circular saw with a ruler to cut out the parts as exactly as possible. I then screw it together with the Kreg jig. I made the doors uncomplicated, no frame doors. Simple glued wood panels 18mm thick with cup hinges and then magnets so that it doesn't warp. Drawers can also be screwed together using the Kreg pot holes. If you have enough time and a circular saw with a ruler and a cordless screwdriver, it's not difficult. I got my instructions from KZfaq "Kreg Jig® Wall Cabinet - Part 1" The important thing is that you get hold of glued wood panels that should also be rectangular if possible and that your saw cuts exactly at right angles. carpenter is here (germany) much too expensive. Ready made cabinets here have no good quality, they are not made of wood but with pressboard panels. Mine made of wood look much better and are much more durable, no wraping and no swelling directly obove my stove with plenty of water cooking. I think you cannot use pressboard panels in this high humidity environement at all. I cooked much in my kitchen und this moisture was enough for these pressboard panels to swell and the coating to come off... so i had to build new kitchen boards.

Yipppppeee, just lovely 😊

I can tell that Ann is like very wise man, he deeply aware of everything around him yet he is aloof and likes to have fun

Ive always look forward for your videos its nice to see u again

I honestly suggest you get a carpenter ,

Nice Work ! This is Epic .

Don't be scared to upgrade your life. We're here for it. You are still showing us beautiful scenery & teaching us how you live. It's still simple by just being so remote & less hectic. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on your new stove! Hopefully we will get to see some dishes that you make with it. Already looking forward to your next video! All the best from Australia❤️

Loved this video journey of your stove! I was in wonder about that canal that you traveled through where there was so many boats transporting so many things! That was quite beautiful! Greetings from Houston, Texas! After watching your videos I am so sorry I only made it as far as Bengkulu in Sumatera!

Your patience and hard work are unbelievable. Your Island Life is very inspiring, wishing more happiness and prosperity in life! ❤😊

I built my own Kitchen cabinets from never having done it before. With enough patience, I think An can handle this project. The main thing with making good DIY cabinets is getting straight, repeatable square cuts with a circular saw. In North America, they sell a product called "Kreg Rip-Cut Circular Saw Guide". It's designed to take a basic circular saw and make it into a panel cutting saw that can cut plywood or MDF lengthwise with strips up to 60 cm wide. I'm not familiar with the woodworking tools of Indonesia, but I imagine something along these lines could be found. A tracksaw would also work for this, but be considerably more expensive. The other main cabinetry tool you'll want is a pocket hole jig. There's a million clones of those on the Internet and they're pretty small so I'm confident you can mail order one of those. The purpose of this device is to cut angled holes into the end of plywood or MDF so that it can be pulled tight to another piece with pan-head screws. (Think L or T joints from a side view). Pocket holes are very strong, and perform nearly as well as half-lap or dovetail joints for a tiny fraction of the effort. Since you have Starlink, I can recommend the Bourbon Moth Woodworking "Build Cabinets the Easy Way" series on KZfaq which will give you a great idea of the work involved. As an alternative, the New Yankee Workshop (American public television) also has a great guide to cabinetry but is harder to find these days.

Give it a try 😊
