Top Comments of this video!! :3
Roc only lives on Gometra for 3 months out of the year. And his daughters apparently only visit occasionally. The docu made it seem like it was their full time home. Its just their Summer holiday house.
And Roc is a millionaire. An interesting omission when that kind of money could help his cause more than his daughters living in tree houses.

This is quite deceptive, and by manner of omission...
Roc is first cousins with Nathaniel Rothschild, inheritor of his father's (Jacob) multi-trillion dollar fortune, and the wealthiest family on the globe. Roc's grandfather, from whom he inherited his 'small fortune' was Sir Philip Dunn, the only son of wealthy Canadian financier, tycoon and industrialist of Algoma steel, James Hamet Dunn, and furthermore the great-grand son of the 5th Earl of Rosslyn. Sir Philip Dunn married Lady Mary Sybil St. Clair-Erskine, whose father was James St Clair-Erskine, the 2nd Earl of Rosslyn (Scottish soldier, politician, slave holder, and Acting Grand Master of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Scotland).
Either Roc and his family seek to atone for the sins of their forebears -as it relates to the environmental devastation caused by 19th and 20th century steel production; slave holding; and/or general socio-economic meddling and profiteering, or they wish to hide in plain-sight via the open espousal of contemporary (yet ever perennial) 'end-of-the-world' activist-tropes. Long have the world's wealthiest hidden behind foundations, charities, and good-publicity, with the social charm to match. Best to watch actions over words and feeble displays, and read the trail for what it truly presents - they've bought their islands, as most of the world's elite are doing at present, and are going where most cannot follow - all in the while feigning to be the peoples' advocate.
Just some food for thought...

When Stacey said "arguably its easier...to devote your time to a cause when you are a white middle class kid." So true I thought the exact same as that girl was explaining how she would rather do what shes doing that worrying about getting a job in the future. Thats easy to say when you come from generational wealth like her dad said he inherited 2 farms from his grandfather. These kids have a good life and really dont know what its like to build your own wealth and connections. What a huge divided world we live in.

My grandmother, born in 1882, sifted flour the same way. Even in the big beautiful house my grandfather built, she baked and cooked the same as she had always done. Her meals were delicious. The land is wonderful and I understand the appeal of getting away from greedy land developers, traffic, high cost of electricity, heating etc. Loved the video.

Stacey, I just found you and I think what youâre getting to experience is amazing. I am in southern VA in US and am a grandmother of two. You and I are kindred spirits. I totally agree with most of your thoughts. I watch YouTube for just this reason. I am able to see how others live their lives. Iâve never been out of the U.S. and my town is small. I feel I learn so much about the rest of the world through these videos. So thank you for all youâre doing. You lucky girl. Youâre very direct and yet very compassionate and respectful of othersâ choices. I also watched Only Human when you visited India. Youâve very adventurous. Well done!

Iâve been obsessed with these videos ever since they showed up on my feed. Stacey is so much fun to watch! And kudos to the family for living in the cold! I would like to say I couldnât even make it through a weekend out there without heat, but tbh I donât think I could have even made it on the boat just to get out there. đĽś

I don't know - I really struggled with this one. First, the father is a millionaire and owns his own island. The children are charmed and aren't required to do much - including work or go to school. The get to disconnect and be in nature whenever they like. Second, this type of activism seems attention-seeking and lazy simultaneously. In order for the majority of the country to survive, people have to work - meaning, use public transit to get to where they need to go. How is living in a tree helping the everyday / common human? Can't the daughters and their cohorts think of a better use of their excessive time and money to help improve the environment? Seems like there are other causes that would make more of a difference (campaigning to those politicians and the uber wealthy who continue to make the horrible environmental decisions impacting the climate)? While I do think more should be done FOR the environment, these girls seem entitled and lazy in their approach.

I feel so bad for these young women. Living off the grid - cool, no problem. Being concerned with the environment and protesting - cool no problem. Having this concern over the environment be so all consuming that they are obviously traumatized is so sad. There is no balance. They live every second of the day with the weight of the world on their shoulders. They live in such a beautiful place and I don't see joy, only constant pain and worry.

I know people from Roc's generation who didn't have kids because they were worried about the demographic crisis, which was the big thing in the seventies. They regret their decision now. These crises seem to subside and are replaced by new ones. I hope that Blue and Savannah change their minds. Just as their dad had kids despite the state of the world, and they have had a good life to date, they should continue the family line.
