Está CONSTRUYENDO CABAÑAS en el BOSQUE 'QUIERO MORIRME EN UNA DE ELLAS'

Hey YouTube family Today I traveled a full thousand kilometers just to tell you a story at I know you're going to love so much and honestly who hasn't dreamed of having a cab In the middle of the forest building it with my own hands and having a place to retreat here or come back to something I who know can spend time connected with nature Well then today we're getting to know Yaya Buscraft a remarkable woman who is no less than 69 years old She’s personally building cabins in the woods with her own hands It seems like sheer madness how passionately this woman pursues her dreams And surely as always she has something very interesting to share with us So I'll leave social media links here as always in case you'd like to stay connected Just a little more content each day that you upload here to YouTube and we're straight into the chaos Well I'm now approaching the cabins Yaya has in the woods and there she is—right there a real-live wild strawberry Yeah what's up Hi Álvaro sweetie Hi sweetie My goodness what have you got going on out here in the middle of the woods huh What Well how’s it going First things first Good What a scorching heat huh You're divine you're divine divine beyond compare the very essence of death I have to tell you something—how do you stand the heat here huh We're at least 35 degrees right Yes I know But the cabins are magical and possess that power Yes I'm telling you they must have power to keep you here He's got me completely wrapped up he's kidnapped me they've kidnapped me And now I was looking into how to build a fireplace okay Because I want to make it the way our grandparents did That's wonderful Well before diving into the details tell me who Yaya is—what kind of person are you really I've done many things in my life Once I' ve spent some time on something I get tired and move on to something else and once I've learned enough I go in search of more New experiences new adventures But essentially I come from the field of science journalism and then I went to India in 1992 I was at Osho's Ice Run extremely controversial the rebels' Ice Run and they kicked me out for being a rebel Yes well you did it then I had a terrible time terrible The rebels kick me out for being a rebel God ticks Can you imagine now On the other hand knowing full well what I didn’t want I left journalism and… Back from India Back from India That's where you ended up… Yes yes it was a pause a break I know very well what I don’t want but I haven’t the faintest idea of what I do want And I started searching started searching I spent many years searching until finally I stood up and said what kind of energy do you want to live under Dearest friend And I said okay I want to live under the energy of being happy 24 hours a day—completely in tune with myself Don't worry about what others say No And so the search began And then amidst all this searching I found… Well forgive me I haven't called anyone here in so long Well then out of nowhere videos about bushcraft started showing up in my life Bushcraft is a term that originated in Australia and was used by all Indigenous peoples The indigenous people pardon me the original inhabitants of both the United States and Australia built shelters I met Annie 4x4 She's a delightful woman She was all about survival Within survival there are three absolutely crucial elements One's fire another's water but where do I put my swimsuit And since wood really gets on my nerves I started looking for information And there it is The first one fell on me and they threw me out for it The second one I did right at the top of the entire mountain It was very simple And this is the third one Show me the third one please Of course Alright let's go over there then Of course I'm going to show you something you're sure to love Now then I'd already looked at the cabin and could tell it had promise Look look What a door What a magnificent door Made from little pieces I found around here This is the cabin I call it the cabin Well in plain terms it's the cabin of mistakes In technical jargon errors I don't believe in mistakes So this is the cabin of experiences Because I've made countless errors in this cabin which have since been corrected as I’ll show you shortly There will be others won’t there Because mistakes don’t exist—only learning does What a profound reflection truly So this cabin well now I want to emphasize that I don't actually live here okay I want to stress that what I have here is stored It's a mess now because I've been working and whenever I work I just leave my tools lying around These are the wooden planks from the new and so on and so forth But what can I tell you about this place Well you know thanks to this little cabin I finally figured out what these little holes are called What are they called again Yes there's a lot of powderpost beetle in the wood I didn't even know what a powderpost beetle was because I have absolutely no idea how cabins are built I did it out of passion out of madness I've done everything in my damn life And I say this interests me Who's afraid when there are hospitals Zap here I go Then I think damn how am I getting out of this now So just stepping out like that so simply—there you go right Then of course if you pay attention Yes I could see it was a little like that right Of course because they're all gathered together This cabin is very feminine—just like its owner Of course it's so feminine that it goes wherever it truly feels like But this cabin can support 100 kilograms the roof Because of course I created a 40-centimeter slope I didn’t know how a roof was built so I knew nothing What I share on my social media is what I’m learning along the way Don't think for a second that I'm an architect or anything like that—no not at all absolutely not That's actually the best thing I truly believe it is I just became really passionate about it I watched videos spending nearly a full year immersed in them Then I decided well now I'm going to put it into practice And he clearly knew he was going to mess up I told you the first one nearly fell right on top of me The second one went higher and this was the third And here here I actually said I completely lost my mind And I started a 4x4 The ground is stones I repeated this fireplace twice This is beautiful You've got a wonderful place now This is where you'll do your grilling Steaks and I'll cook up everything else But you see I sealed the roof before the chimney was installed So I had to add a flue pipe That won’t happen again next time You're going to fix it I'm going to fix it But hey it turned out I've never built one before You 're already ahead on that count I have to tell you that back at the beginning in the village they wouldn't give me a single cent They laughed at me But after seeing the whole process and how stubborn I am And because of my constant and steadfast nature they've started thanking me Even the town's mayor has passed through here We need to point out that there's a small village nearby so you're not isolated In fact there 's a town close to this forest And I want to highlight something you have out here—your car—because I know people are really going to love what you're seeing right here Yes because I'm a fanatic about Overland Overland is what I do I love getting lost And don't you love getting lost It's amazing And I want to clarify this for you so you understand this is a rooftop shop just like the one I have with which I'm going to sleep in the four-wheel drive even though it's not a pickup truck She has her own Toyota four-wheel drive too Look at what I have It's a car I have Wait I locked it earlier when went to eat Don't worry about it Man yes I'm worried because I don't know where I left my keys The keys Could these be them Look you've got some hanging here Yes Are these them Yes you're a lifesaver There they are look See the G from Girona or from Gijón Look at this wonderful thing With this I can only imagine you're bringing all the materials you need right The stones you'll see there already This is a dump truck I removed the seats to make room for loading And this is for loading I assume you're bringing water too right Yes yes This is the water I have to go fetch from the spring The whole issue of water electricity and all that How do you handle that yourself Battery which you just saw over there And I'll go get the water So here I have some of the tools See I have my saw This is for removing the bark So what should I use As much as possible hand tools And I use materials that our grandparents used That's great Because I don't like current things Concrete cracks after 50 years The lime I use is the same kind the Romans used to build with Many buildings still stand today And I really love it I always say that on my channel I’m not looking for speed or ease Peace of mind Why Because I'm a 69-year-old woman I don't have the energy of someone in their 30s And besides I'm not even a professional in the field Well you're a professional in life someone who's already dared to do things others wouldn't That's true absolutely true That's true professionalism in life Look I like it I'll grab it I'll copy it That's really good I'm going to copy it Of course I go at my own pace So when people sometimes say "We're here to help you " I truly appreciate it But I want to learn If you do everything for me I won't learn And then yes it's true 69 But there's life after 65 So what's the message I love to share Girls and boys of gold don't just sit on your backsides staring at the TV Go forth after your dreams and make them real You clearly have a slow pace Just like me just like me Don't you know Just as I do you'll find out But life is something you have to live Life isn't about standing still like a graveyard of elephants It'll come to me in time No wait No no Life goes on folks For the life of the child Jesus Look at the little quarry I have here Pebbles And all these Plus the ones over there around Plus the ones over there She brought them in the moa's car Did you really bring all these stones by yourself Yes sir I can't believe it I'm heading to a quarry about 20 kilometers away I'll pick out the ones I want and bring them back These are the small ones But the big ones dragged them across the ground Just like the logs These logs you see here This is the Apprentice's Cabin 2 Right This is the cabin There are also mistakes here you know Well of course I said I'd do five On the fifth it's a nickel But look here if you see it there are more little stones Look at this What a cute little stone she is See it Look Look at her huh Look at her like Look Who'd have thought she's 69 You see that Look how beautiful this stone is kid It's gorgeous Absolutely stunning Well naturally I blew the They're over there They're right here So I've installed a drain here There's a French drain right here Of course you've already made a bit of progress on the other ones haven't you This one doesn't have drainage This one does have drainage These are the floor joists See I'm going to put a sheet of material over this so that Because of course the stone is very interesting because it absorbs moisture has capillary action and can therefore dampen the wood So if you put on that little piece of fabric—just the one you see here—then clearly none of this happens anymore Are you only learning this from your mistakes or where else are you getting it from From videos Do you learn from other videos and get to work I’m getting to work I admire you Thank you Everything seems so easy but when we actually get started Well I think it's passion I absolutely love it It just gets to me I imagine all the materials you use are reused or so to speak biological Yes This is brown Okay And I bought this too Well they brought them with the bark on since I prefer to remove the outer layer myself And then of course it was great fun because being an older city-dwelling woman They see I'm not from around here since the elders who raised me were the oldest The elders Now I've learned And I called him and said Next time you don't fool me kid I've learned my lesson now And of course they were full of termites I'd never seen what a termite looks like before They're little yellow worms Some are white Yes And chubby I see them often because in abandoned houses Ah of course you come across them all the time Ah of course But of course I kept removing them So one thing I'm truly deeply proud of is the lacework Okay This one's the first so it's not right This is the second and I made a boat instead of lace Okay But then when you get to the third one Yes yes They're much tighter huh I mean you can see Yes yes The evolution the evolution Exactly the evolution And well I've learned it and I love doing lacework Of course there are things I’ve already noticed that I’ll improve on next time obviously But then on top I'm going to add more of these boards and a layer of cork above them I'd really love to have a green roof You look great That's really beautiful isn't it Yes yes And I have to say architecture has always fascinated me Y Unterwasser was a German architect who was the first to introduce green roofs on buildings particularly in New Zealand That's great So amidst all this well there's one thing I always say especially to young people It's that when I'm working here there's no issue—nothing and no one exists except the trunk and myself The more I give the more I receive When you say that it doesn't necessarily mean building a cabin I imagine you'referring to being in this natural setting you have here No in this case I mean working with your hands Why do I have such a fondness for physical labor Well just imagine all this energy you see here but with 25 years of experience You've always been restless isn't that right Yes always So if you don't channel it it'll work against you And life then is a mess But if you know how to channel it and stay focused it becomes a wonder Because you're always fully present You are always in your constant present There's no need to be Just being there That's deeply zen what I'm saying Yes but I think today we're experiencing a pandemic of disconnection of anxiety Because the mind goes one way while the body goes another Some wise people said the next generation was becoming a little more spiritual Or perhaps I was staring a little into myself or were simply going to vanish And I think it's happening because there's a silent epidemic of suicides among young people that isn't often talked about And not just very young ones It's a pity because you really have to be very careful with that and keep your mind occupied That's why I wanted to make this video No the body needs to be kept occupied Yes the body needs to be occupied Not the mind it's the body that must be kept actively engaged Also let me tell you something: if your body is in motion your brain gets more oxygen because blood circulation increases And blood is the vehicle that carries oxygen Therefore clearly when your blood flow carries more oxygen there is greater vitality There is increased mental clarity Now that I think about it you obviously know a lot about this topic because What do you do for a living Because many people will say of course that's just fantasy—going into the woods building cabins right But you're not retired are you No what's that You're still working What's that heavy thing Of course you're employed What do you do for a living Tell us about your source of income Because people will say "And what does he ask for " — "And what do I live on " — No I don't live off the sky Nor do I live off rent I am a postural and respiratory reeducation psychotherapist More than 25 years have already passed So I conduct forest school and wellness retreats specifically focused on the topic of anxiety Why Because people are so everywhere that I've forgotten they have two hands two feet—especially the young who spend their entire lives glued to a screen I bring them here have them working by 6 a m and they're already at it That's great And then besides the fact that they're delighted—after all who hasn't wanted to build a cabin when they were little Yes Who hasn't wanted to build a cabin Well of course you say let's go ahead and build a cabin I'll show you how to build a cabin or part of a cabin And of course the hours fly by What a wonderful job you're doing And well I teach what makes me happy I share what brings me joy And if it helps someone then take it take it So well this one day will be Álvaro dear another thing I'm preparing for and that people often ask me a lot is where do I shower Look at this super cute thing for showering This holds 20 liters Here's where I'll get it dirty You wouldn't believe I have one of these showers for the 4x4 Don't mess with me seriously It's amazing guys If you've never seen it this is incredible And did you know this also purifies the water you collect Mine isn't This one is—it purifies water So tell me where you managed to get this one Yes and if you're coming on Yaya's behalf they'll give you a 10% discount Well then I'll make a note of that later Just the microphone—don't get it wet Oh the microphone It's fine calm down it can handle that You can see for yourselves that nothing here is prepared No no Then I'll just close it and that's that Did you see it It was just what I wanted It's amazing This bathtub this bathtub this is going to become my little spa All of this was wild right I've been doing it myself Alright we're behind the cabin so you can locate us okay Yeah yeah And now I'm going to take you along—this bathtub is absolutely perfect It's also excellent for collecting water And now I'm going to take you to the small enclosure I built for the wild boars What the little pen Yes you're about to see This was an attempt to create a little garden in the woods This is called I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly ugulkultur It' s an Austrian biologist who using all the organic material from the forest Below all of this is excavated You can see it here as well Do you see how it's lower down Do you see there's like a little bathtub here Here when it rains the water flows down this way and would fill the small garden plot So underneath it all as you can see is just a bunch of twigs and well all the broken debris from the forest All the land that has been taken from him on top of that On top of that straw Sorry on top of that cardboard This is cardboard But the cardboard wouldn't be an element anymore—why are you using it Do you know why Yes the cardboard is used—natural cardboard—to retain moisture Okay okay And on top of that the straw It degrades too Yes yes So this has to remain undisturbed for a year it can't be touched for a year And then you have all the little creatures in the world but no pests So here you dig a hole just one year later boom you plant a tomato seed and end up with spectacular tomato plants Peppers whatever you like seasonal vegetables whatever you want But I made the mistake of not fencing it in I understand you now That’s why I finally get why it’s called Chiquipar It’s Chiquipar—the place where wild boars have fun Exactly the wild boars are coming and naturally the straw is their food Well another mistake you're learning from Exactly So after saying it three times I said "Chava we'll meet during the cumber harvest because I'll do it another time " And it doesn’t need much watering That was the best part Sure because in these places it's not like Asturias which is extremely humid Exactly Well it's pretty humid here too But of course I don't have water unless Yes you save yourself the trouble of watering on days when there isn't much needed That's great so thoughtfully designed And here's what I wanted to do which I'll eventually get around to is to put up a big wide strip due to the high humidity in the morning dew droplets remain on the metal mesh And underneath you add a channel to collect the water That's great I can see you do your research Something they're going to ask me… Man I've been a journalist That's true too You 're carrying that around with you aren't you They’ll also ask me about the purpose of this thing we have here the cabins What's the purpose of building five cabins Well I started because I knew I'd mess up Well I said I'd do it but I'd mess up so I'm going through a process The subject of the process is often overlooked these days partly because everything has to be quick and easy so the process itself gets skipped So there are two main issues First I refuse to pay 500 euros in rent even if I had the money pouring out of my ears I refuse to pay and I refuse to buy the nonsense that's being demanded And second I want to die in a cabin I built myself How beautiful That’s highly satisfying And those who go fishing can understand that Eating what you catch It's like returning to roots we've lost isn't it That most primal part of human existence that's all so One one That's where it's been lost and it's like there you draw the energy from Mother Earth Yes they've instilled in us this need to rely on the system on Exactly As if we're not worth If the forests are ours the water is ours everything is ours We simply need to create it to want it It's because there's no light— how do you manage Solar panels Of course Or if there's no water —how do you handle it You plant I'm 70 years old—how am I supposed to do it Look look Well just like me 70 years young Social media Yes And also Doing things I understand there are health issues because now that's coming to mind the one you mentioned Álvaro the one I have I understand No no Careful darling I have emphysema But I know full well that’s a lot of sadness And since I’m so happy with life the pulmonary emphysema has just come to a standstill The doctor when I went though I'm not one for doctors but in this case they made me go My daughter became really difficult so I took her in to get some X-rays and the doctor just stared Of course my profession my posture my breathing and then the energy The energy is highly healing Yes I know I have it but it's just sitting there If I were going through a period of sadness right now this would surely spiral out of control But I have it So for me it's absolutely crucial to do what my heart asks not what my mind says What my heart is asking me Am I going to have problems Yes But as a good Catalan price for price bigger shoes If I do what others want my eyes will be sad and my soul too If I do what I want I'll be criticized But since I'm already so used to being called crazy so utterly used to it it doesn't matter anymore I do whatever I want That is everything has a price in life No matter what you do it will come at a cost You'll be criticized just as much for doing white as for doing green Whether you do what they tell you or what yourself want Since you're going to criticize me anyway I'll do exactly as I please The thing is this happens to all of us at some point— when it's your family when it's your parents Yes I know I want to go in there so you can give them your reflection because really when it's yours parents when they are your closest environment the one we always unconsciously seek a little Having that approval at the end well humans are just a little like that Even though we don't truly need it when what you say moves through the heart of things I understand how hard it is to step away from that How was your case that process Well if we're being honest nothing's easy Nothing Whether obeying or not obeying everything comes at a cost So in my case by the time I was 17 I had already left for the hippie communes There was nothing in Ibiza so I said goodbye you fool since I've been earning my own living since I was 17 right And as for my daughter well there have been things I’ve actually listened to her about But of course it’s her life She has to live her life the same way I have to live mine And if I'm not happy I'll make the lives of those around me bitter Yes indeed Do you understand Yes Then of course what's most important Well that the ship's captain be safe Because if the ship's captain who is oneself isn' t well the crew members certainly won't be either So girls and boys take care of yourselves and do what your heart tells you It won’t be easy But is it easy to spend the whole day in front of the TV keep going to the doctor take pills and feel completely fed up with life Going to work at a job you dislike just to keep material possessions— I say this all the time What do you think material things are actually going to bring you It's easy It never was for me Never I think I've contributed to Social Security for eight years —I don't have more than that Of course I've always been doing things When I started the breathing school they called me crazy Because back then no one believed in postural reeducation and breathing They say crazy people move the world Yes men Exactly I believe that's true because they're the ones brave enough to do things differently And one day a madman dreamed that a mobile phone could connect us linking what I'm doing with a camera Someone once dreamed of this camera and someone made it a reality Someone dreamed of waves that could be transmitted That sounds wonderful to me because ultimately if you rely on that imagination Dreams and you bring them to life—sometimes you can change the world And besides well I don't know about the world but yours yes mine definitely I think I'd influence it if I changed it I have no interest in changing the world Neither do I Mine yes Yes I know what you mean The world is fine just as it is It's mine that I need to figure out how I interact with So I've discovered that if I do what my heart asks of me Special things happen magical things happen Because if you're happy whether they call you foolish or old it doesn't matter Because on social media they often call me that—old ladies judging my age Yes it's absolutely hilarious to see the mess we're in regarding the issue of age and ageism As though they didn't think they'd ever make it I always say the same thing I wish you reach my age with the energy passion and vitality I have And I’d like to clarify one thing If you feel you're not keeping up with that energy it's taking effort This woman has social media you can follow her I've left them there before but I'll put them there again so that if they want to contact you or make a withdrawal with you ask you anything about the subject of breathing or that your energy has directly conveyed something truly beautiful Well I have something called Coaching with Yaya Anyway I'll just leave everything scattered around here Later I'll jot down everything for you and leave it written down there as well as in the video description I'll also share your Instagram since we'll be sharing things together Well that's about it—I think we'll wrap up the video here because it's been extremely thorough but we can't keep motivating you—we're all on our own when it comes to motivation As mentioned her social media remains out there As always I'll leave mine with you Just in case you want to stay a bit more up to date on the content I don't post here on YouTube That's all see you in the next video And if you can go to nature Just don't mess it up okay No Please please Seriously don't do it okay Well see you later guys Bye
