Caught out on the road by a torrential Spanish thunderstorm with my gear completely saturated, I stumbled upon a secluded, centuries-old dry-stone roundhouse hidden off a deserted track. Making the space my own for a couple of wet days, I built a small contained fire to dry out my soaked bags and ward off any unwelcome critters, while keeping a watchful ear on something mysterious rustling inside the masonry walls. From foraging wild rosemary and collecting fresh rainwater on my tarp to simply cherishing the stillness of being off-grid, this episode documents raw, unscripted nomadic life as the weather takes an unexpected turn

I’m A Transient Kiwi — formerly Homeless Kiwi, also known as That Kiwi Fella.
I travel by bicycle, sleep outside, and live without a fixed home. Before this journey, I spent years homeless in London.
This channel documents the reality of living outside the conventional system — the travel, the logistics, the problems, and whatever happens along the way.

Hi- how do you charge your devices?
Glad you got out from under that train 🚊
That is a shelter built by the ancients , who were anticipating the return of the Kiwi one day.
WHIOOOA GREAT OPENING SHOT 😃❤️✝️🕊️ very brave 🥝💃🏼😇😍🥰😘 x x x
Love the video pal that looks a mazing love were u stopping
Watching kiwi ❤ HYPED ❤
Stay away from big tree trunks in lightening storms , if it hits the tree it travels down to the earth and anything there . Especialy metal.❤
Love the map references ❤
That folly like structure , bet its full of spiders etc.
When a mum or dad call there child a little sod. It means very cheeky child.
For wood or animal feed is my guese . Too small for grain.
its a Medieval dry-stone hut
What a great building 🥝 I reckon it’s a lizard in the wall…😊
My dad always said little sod . I think it means grass sod . Not 100% on that though . Anyway all the best m8

es un refugio de pastores por la zona de levante desde alicante hasta gerona es muy normal verlos. soy el chico al que le compraste la navaja tenedor y cuchara en Castellon mucho animo
you should learn about super shelter from mors kochanski and also about german bundswehr folding sleeping mat – it would improve your setup
Or for Seeds.
Si te diriges a la zona de Andorra hay un complejo de aguas termales al aire libre situado en el sur de Francia, en la comuna de Fontpedrouse (Pirineos Orientales), a unos 40 minutos en coche de Puigcerdà. es libre y hay gente muy diversa.
1st time watching you mate 👍keep going it’s so relaxing. I’m from Birmingham in the UK
Great to see you again and on good form.
This is how I plan to spend my retirement.
56, a bike a tarp and absolutely no plans.
Thanks for the inspiration, from one soldier to another.👍
I got rained on last week. I got so wet it i looked like I just got out of the ocean wearing clothing. Boxers socks all wet
Great video. Hope you're well.
I managed to hype 3x. Hope it helps 🥝🚀
In southern France we have, what's called Borie's: a traditional, dome-shaped dry-stone hut found scattered across the countryside.
They were seasonal agricultural outhouses or shelters.
They were utilised during the 18th and 19th centuries when locals cleared the rocky landscape to plant new fields of grain, olives, or lavender. Your shelter looks very similar to a Borie, without the sods on the roof
I see kiwi 🥝, I hit like 👍
I reckon the land owner and folly owner may of sold up when that huge electric tower was put up.?
Brain fog? It’s called carbon monoxide poisoning 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
From when you first started, with wobbly camera and cut views, you have improved SO much. The cut-away to the map, showing where you are and the opening shot of rhe train were👌Bon voyage, 🥝😊
Great video, it has a little stone house, a fire, getting wet and drying out. Living outside and managing that means your sorted! No worries. Sod is a piece of turf. I know that, surely you knew that didnt you?
Your best kip spot for a while👌
Hit the jackpot with that stone structured shelter 😊
I dont want to be negative but cycling to Andorra is a crazy idea, especially if you have heart concerns. It may be a beautiful route but the road is practically vertical in places and thats some weight youre carrying. At least check the route out on satellite map first coz thats a lot of miles all uphill. I forget whether i was in a car or the truck the time i drove it but it was 2nd gear all the way and the road was closed for snow a few miles short so i had to take the tunnel & missed Andorra anyway though it was more scenic than going through the town. Coming down the other side is just as steep so I'd stock up on brake pads before you get up there. I suspect you'll end up walking most of the route with endless lorries crawling past you. 🌞
That was a great vid! That’s the kind of thing that will increase views. And getting creative with the opening and closing sequences was 👍
If you're looking for spots around that area, there's a lot of abandoned stone windmills too.
Mate, you grew up in NZ so you've cycled in rain much colder than that. Meanwhile me and my pet penguin Archie definitely enjoy watching your channel and we both wish you luck 🍸🐧🇳🇿
Maybe an olive farmer's shelter – but very interesting little thing, so well put together too. Cheers fella
