Episode 4
Lynn and Richard and their two young daughters Emily and Yvaine are a 'food-bank family' from Bedfordshire, desperately unhappy with their quality of life in the UK. They pack up their belongings in a horsebox and head for a remote part of central Portugal. Their dream is to live off-grid, be completely self-sufficient and, for the first time ever, escape the pressures of living on the breadline, relying on no one but themselves. They face immediate physical and emotional challenges: camping on an unsuitable plot of land; wild summer storms and forest fires, which render them homeless; and Richard's discovery that he's not quite the builder he thought he was. Lynn struggles with the simplicity of their new life and no flushing toilet. They start to plant crops and rear animals. But money is running out as a second wave of devastating fires delays the building of their new home. Will the family live to regret their decision, or will it bring them closer together?
