What's Countryside LIVING in ARGENTINA Really Like? 🇦🇷 | 10 Ways Rural Life is Different! 🐗🌿

Country living in Argentina is different from what we're used to, so I thought it would be fun to sit down and chat about some of the differences we've noticed and how we're adapting to rural life.
These are some of our first impressions having recently arrived from Canada. No, it's not our first time in Argentina - far from it! But these are the things we tend to notice during our first weeks whenever we're back here.
How is rural life in Argentina different, you ask?
Well, if we want water in the house we have to pump it from the well to a tank on top of the house. If we want to go into town we have to hitchhike or make sure we catch a very infrequent bus. And because there's no garbage collection system, we have to deal with our own trash and try to recycle and produce as little waste as possible.
Things like that, which are very different from city life back in Canada.
So join us for a little chat about what countryside living in Argentina is really like.
Long story short, we're adapting and having a great time even if there's a bit more work involved!

    Hey guys! The situation with pumping water is actually easily solved with a couple of float switches. Ask your plumber to install them in your place when you'll be working on that. One float switch gets installed inside a water tank. When the switch is in horizontal position (tank is full), the water won't pump. As soon as the float switch drops down at a certain angle, say 45 degrees down, it would "tell" the pump that water is getting low. Then the 2nd float switch gets installed inside the well. There it will be adjusted to the opposite - to allow the pump to work when the water level in the well is high. That way you will never overdraw the well - which is a common reason why wells dry up... It is also "healthier" for the well if you pump water often, but in smaller amounts. That float switch in the tank would guarantee that.

    Nice video, I am thinking of buying property in a place like that in Argentina. You guys could install what is called a float switch which will cut off the water when the tank fills to a certain level and you will never run out of water because when it starts to get low it pumps water automatically.

    The bit you mentioned early in the video about how to deal with your trash, lots of things now make sense, that my grandparents would do on their farm when we'd visit. One thing that I'd always wonder why was, when they'd go into town, they'd purchase/trade good but they'd take their own sacks and containers to bring them in. Soda, water, beans, rice, all in thick plastic bags and burlap sacks that they'd have stocked up, even if there was the option to buy said things already packaged. Of course! There was no waste disposal service where they lived. xD The things one as a kid oversees.

    at the end also in English. Hola, me diverti mucho con tu video, porque yo vivi desde 1958 hasta el 2012 en el campo, por trabajo, en un lugar donde el pueblo mas cercano estaba a 55 km por caminos de tierra y malos caminos, cuando llovia se ponian intransitables, y si, debia "fabricarme" mi agua, mi luz electrica, proveerme mi gas, usabamos cilindros de 45 kg. y la leña, fundamental, el gas se usaba para las cocinas y las heladeras, porque solo teniamos luz electrica de 18hs a 22 hs en invierno y de 19 hs. a 23 en verano, luego usabamos baterias de 32 volts, que sirven como vela electrica, recien tuvimos television en 1993 cuando llego la televicion satelital, antes solo escuchabamos radio de AM y leiamos, leiamos mucho, Los de la ciudad piensan que el agua sale de la canilla y la leche de la heladera, Nosotros hasta carneabamos lanares para poder tener carne, y habia un recinto que llamabamos carniceria donde la res quedaba colgada y mi señora iba y tomaba el trozo que necesitaba, o sea ella despostaba el animal a medida que se consumia, se comia todo, no esto no me gusta, todo, El agua caliente se lograba de calefones a leña que eran unos termos que debajo tenian un hornillo que quemaba cualquier porqueria ademas de leña y siempre habia agua caliente en la casa, NOs comunicabamos con el pueblo con una radio a bateria, y mis hijos fueron a una escuela rural que estaba a 8km de la casa donde iban tambien otros chicos de la zona unos 15 o 20 y con dos maestras se enseñaba a todos, las maestras vivian el colegio, hoy los dos son profesionales universitarios. Su experiencia campestre no la olvidan y ademas los marco en su caracter, no son de los que se ahogan en un vaso de agua, tambien aprendimos a manejar la basura, todo lo que era organico se usaba de abono, lo demas se juntaba aparte y los plasticos se separaban y de tanto en tanto aparecian "cirujas" en camionetas que compraban todo eso para reciclar, pagaban nada, era un pago simbolico, pero nos hacian un favor, para lo no tenia reciclabe habia un pozo grande donde se tiraba y cada tanto se hacia otro pozo, para combatir los roedores teniamos gallinas sueltas que comen todo lo que come el roedor y al no haber comida las ratas y lauchas se van, y gatos silvestres que controlan no solo los roedores sino tambien las vivoras, Me retire del campo por edad y salud, estando tan lejos de los medicos llega un momento que no se puede vivir mas en el campo, en el 2000 me piso un tractor y me llevaron en la caja de una camioneta hasta el pueblo, pero a los 2 meses regrese y anduve dos meses mas con muletas, pero el trabajo no se descuido, todo el que he conocido y tuvo mi misma experiencia de vida, hoy muchos profesionales trabajando en el pueblo en temas de campo siempre recuerdan con cariño ese periodo de vida, yo tengo un gran recuerdo guardado por suerte en muchas fotos, A pesas de haber sido una vida no tan comoda creo que fui un privilegiado de la vida por haberla tenido, Lo que hacen ustedes es mas dificil, porque se deben adaptar a algo muy nuevo y totalmente distinto hasta en la cultura de vida de lo que es Canada y es Argentina donde aqui se vive para vivir y en los otros paises de se vive para trabajar. Por eso la gente es mas relajada, Un saludo grande y mucha suerte en su emprendimiento. Hello, I had a lot of fun with your video, because I lived from 1958 to 2012 in the countryside, for work, in a place where the nearest town was 55 km away along dirt roads and bad roads, When it rained they became impassable, and yes, they had to "manufacture" my water, my electric light, provide me with my gas, we used 45 kg cylinders. and firewood was essential, gas was used for the stoves and refrigerators, because we only had electric light from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in winter and from 7:00 p.m. at 23 in summer, then we used 32 volt batteries, which serve as electric candles, we only had television in 1993 when satellite television arrived, before we only listened to AM radio and read, we read a lot, those in the city think that the water comes out from the tap and the milk from the refrigerator. We even slaughtered sheep to be able to have meat, and there was an area that we called the butcher shop where the beef was left hanging and my wife would go and take the piece she needed, that is, she would butcher the animal to size. that was consumed, everything was eaten, no I don't like this, everything. The hot water was obtained from wood-burning heaters that were thermoses that had a stove underneath that burned any garbage in addition to firewood and there was always hot water in the house, We communicated with the town with a battery-powered radio, and my children went to a rural school that was 8km from the house where other children from the area also went, about 15 or 20, and with two teachers everyone was taught, the teachers lived school, today they are both university professionals. They do not forget their country experience and it also marks them in their character, they are not the type to drown in a glass of water, we also learned to manage garbage, everything that was organic was used as fertilizer, the rest was collected separately and The plastics were separated and from time to time "surgeons" appeared in vans who bought all that to recycle, they paid nothing, it was a symbolic payment, but they did us a favor, for what we didn't have recycling there was a big pit where it was thrown away and each So much so that another well was dug, to combat the rodents we had free chickens that eat everything the rodent eats and when there was no food the rats and mouses left, and wild cats that controlled not only the rodents but also the vipers. I left the countryside due to age and health, being so far from the doctors there comes a time when you can no longer live in the countryside, in 2000 a tractor ran over me and they took me in the bed of a truck to the town, but after 2 months I returned and walked for two more months on crutches, but the work was not neglected, everyone I have met and had my same life experience, today many professionals working in the town on field issues always fondly remember that period of life, I I have a great memory fortunately saved in many photos. Despite having had a not so comfortable life, I think I was privileged to have had it. What you do is more difficult, because you have to adapt to something very new and totally different even in the culture of life from what Canada is and what Argentina is where here you live to live and in the other countries you live to work. That's why people are more relaxed. Best regards and good luck in your endeavor.

    Lots of things ringing true with me. I lived in Naples with my husband and oldest child (he was 1 at the time). Once I embraced the 5-6 shops to get the foods we needed, the hand washing/drying of clothes and food, and the acceptance of kindness from friends and neighbors, I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world.

    We moved from the suburbs , one hour from Gran Buenos Aires to Brisbane Australia so we were used to all what you mentioned... I washed cloths diapers by hand 46 years ago ! pump water , buses running when ever ...walking 1km to the grocery store .. everything was slow... after 29 years in the city now we live in the country (250km) in a small town. It is Australia so we have everything we need in town , we don't miss anything. We have rain water tanks and by choice we deal with all the rubbish, word to mouth and personal recommendations are great much better than google . We have a veggie garden ...and chickens ..we are surrounded by wild kangaroos /cockatoos and foxes too. Speciality shops are great !! enjoy them.

    Hi guys, this comment isn't about this video, but I didn't know where else to put it. My travel partner and I watched a video you did years ago where you took the two day slow boat from Chiang Kong Thailand across the Laos border down to Luang Prabang. This video inspired us to do the same which we finally did in November this year. But fortunately for us things have changed a bit from your rather uncomfortable trip and the wooden benches in the boat have been replaced with comfy car seats and the guesthouses at Chiang Khong and Pakbeng were great. So we just wanted to give you a huge thankyou for inspiring us at around 70 odd years old to take this adventure. We're still on the road, now travelling through Cambodia. Thanks guys

    I grew up in Texas in the 60's. We didnt have much money. We lived in the country. What you are experiencing is what I did growing up. Well water, space heaters, etc. Occassionaly we had ice storms and power lines would break. We planned ahead and ran 5 gallon buckets to have water to drink, flush toilets, etc. Even though we have money and and luxury -things now I still at times flash back to my child hood times. We had an ice storm and snow a couple years ago. I still stored water in case we lost power. Also had plenty of beans, pasta, canned good etc. So we when I saw the millenials on the news complaining about not having food etc I laughed because theyve never experienced the hardships I did. I would have no problem living like ya'll are. I've traveled in worked in South America and Mexico over the years. Things like you said take longer. My wife is more high strung so she doesn't play well with things like this. Enjoy!!

    I'm glad you are getting used to rural life and are finding joy in the little, daily chores, that deffinitely helps a lot. I had no idea the sierras were THAT cold in winter, but I'll always take a Canadian's opinion on that matter very seriously ;) Maybe next winter you'll get to experience snow in Cordoba, there have been some serious snowfalls in the sierras in recent years. As always, I'm sending you guys all the love and support. I can't wait for you to finish the renovations to go spend some holidays there. Greetings from Buenos Aires

    Or you could just buy a bladder tank, like the ones used all across the U.S. You don't need a tank on your roof, it could be in an out building or wherever. A bladder tank is simply a plastic or metal tank, with a rubber bladder inside of it. The tank is then charged with a light gas such as helium, nitrogen, or even just atmosphere will work. This will make the bladder collapse evacuating it. The bladder is open to a pipe that accessible from outside the tank, with the addition of a pressure switch, set to a predetermined value. Pressure less than that value closes the switch, which turns on your pump. With your faucets closed, where your water comes from the pump to the house wherever you choose, add a T in the line, with the T connected to the pipe on the bladder tank, the water will have no choice but to divert into the rubber bladder, further compressing the gas within the tank, until the value of the pressure switch is reached, and opens the circuit. An inline one-way valve prevents the water from returning to the well when the pump stops. Now you have a 5-20gal reserve of pressurized water, whenever you want. Just open the faucet, and BAM! ....And the whole system is automated. I thought you Canadians would be more astute than a gravity tank on your roof, and a well pump on light switch. Guess I was wrong...

    We live in the country side just 25min outside of Winnipeg Canada. These aren't an Argentina issue. It's a nor al country living thing. We have a well, but we don't fill a tank with it. It's a pump much like yours, but our pump has a pressure air tank on top to help with proving pressure without turning on everything we open a tap. But our pump just draws water and pumps to whatever tap we open at any moment. The hot water tank thing seems like an on demand hot water system. Do they have large hot water tanks? Like a 150gal tank? Mine is electric unless we buy a propane one. And we have to take our own garbage too. Buses though don't go to rural areas in canada. We just all have cars. Is it more difficult to have your own car there? Or is that a personal choice?
