Hey Brian, how long has the brown out been? I was wondering why you were not posting videos
Definitely NOT tough enough. lol
No way I could live like that more power to you this is exactly why I never considered living in the. Province
Ive been going to the province since 2013 and i still get the stares..sometime the stinkface…not sure what thats about but ive gotten used to it.
You're doing well Brian. I think a lot of your subs don't realise that it's not always like this on Siargao it's actually a blackout and caused by a submarine cable bringing power from the mainland was damaged and it's not a quick fix. It would be in the west as we have equipment like ROV's but it won't be a quick fix here unfortunately. Have you thought about getting a generator mate ? It would be handy or solar electric even better.
Happy holidays 🎄🎁🇺🇸Brian. Stay safe and healthy my friend 😊
I am glad you are all doing ok. I heard they found the issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I almost cancelled my trip there. I arrive on January 11th and will be there for at least 2 weeks. I will reach out once I am there. I would love to take you and Lot out to lunch. Take care.
Hi Brian , advance Merry Christmas, I live in Cebu, the first thing I bought was a generator. Anyways Mabuhay.
It must be exciting, Brian.
Province life, lots to learn. You seem very happy, and relaxed.😊
Excellent Show
your looking pretty rough
That guy hocking up a lung was disgusting.
I wouldn't be surprised they find that cable was cut. I saw a video the other day about how China secured a patent for a hydraulic cutter with 1200 foot pounds of cutting force. They had been caught twice in the north sea trying to cut the transatlantic cable and one other. They caught Chinese freighters in the area right above the locations for those cables. They had actually managed to damage one of them.
You are having a great retirement 👍. Bring your wife to Ocala fla..better electricity. better food better hospitals.
I leave every rainy season, we are north of you, we will build hopefully end of next year. What happened ? Marites was boats anchor went through the fibre ?
There's always a bright side to everything at least your power bill will be small this month
I dunno if I could cope tbh. Daytime yeah, I would be ok but the nights are long this time of year and not having light or anything to do I think I would be on the Redhorse as soon as the sun went down. I can't stand that bright red spaghetti.
Philly, your the Man. Cool, calm, no big deal with no power. Power was out here in Angeles for couple hours last week. No AC, couldn't watch the games, I about went nutz😅😅. You be safe
Good to see your back
Break time is over. You are looking like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Is there anything about AC that you miss? Enjoy life in the province.
Island life peace of mind 🎉❤
Can you bath nude there ? Good to adapt that way
time to look at solar panels and batteries. Prices are down now.
Pretty cool to watch this video. You know, I mean 8 days is a pretty long time to be off the grid these days. + You seem more at ease! You know it's kind of amazing because as much as you probably are struggling with not having the luxuries you're accustomed to, it's really clear you're making the best out of the situation and I can clearly see a spiritual aspect to it. The way you're talking about people and the community and observing the rain clouds coming in… Nifty stuff… It shows your viewers another angle of your surroundings and your experience. Thank you for this video.
Great content! Great cultural aspect.
Enjoyed the video Philly you're looking good with the beard.😊👍🏻🇬🇧
If you have children, the sad part is getting an education. Very poor schools in the province. "Sadly"
When you married Lot, you lucked out.🙂
Goodmorning Brian, be on the lookout for a possible tropical depression hitting Siargao next week.
We missed your regular vlogs, Brian ❤️
We hope you had a very good break for a while ❤️
Man I am jealous of you
Been awhile Brian. Glad to see you doing ok.
You need to get a deep well sunk. We have one and the pump kicks in when the water level in the tank gets low. During brown outs we have puso so never without water.
This was my childhood. Its like going back in time. What would you bring back. Some solar panels and a little power generator for sure. We had a well so no problem with water. You would be king!😅
Dude after your move from the big smoke you are going real native ,,like Conrad’s hearts of darkness..someone might to come get you
Ice storm in Wisconsin in 1976 knocked out power for about a week, at least it's warm where you are.
Clean yourself up I thought it was a tramp on the video until I realised it was u 😅
How much longer without power till you jump on a boat and get off the island?
The beard is looking pretty good brother, love that little soaking pond!
Maybees a solar plan coming up ? Solar panels and a battery to back up.
Philly I’m a long time subscriber. How long are you guys been without power now?
living like a homeless man in a third-world country – you're livin' the dream
You can still get around fine, but you are starting to get up there in years and not having power for 2 weeks man that will be hard. We all hope and pray for good health but reality is very few get that.
We've grown soft here in the states. We complain if we don't have our comforts. We're not the same anymore as the pioneers who settled the country.
