Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu - Season 9

Tønne's Martin Dyrskog grew up on a roadless farm by Ørsdalsvatnet in Bjerkreim in Rogaland, but after an accident he moved to another remote farm, Røysland, in Lund municipality. Here he and his wife go with car and tractor on a scary farm road, and where it is too steep and rocky for the motor mower, he goes with the scythe. The trees will not grow again, even though he knows he will be the last user on Røysland.

Ellen Marie Hansteensen has a past as a freelance journalist, and she has worked for international peacekeeping forces in the Middle East. But one day the Ausland woman broke with the hectic life she was living and sought shelter at Litløy lighthouse in Bø in Vesterålen. Here she lives with two cats, but now she plans to start tourism, so that more people can share in the paradise she has found.

Arne Bakke Mælen had a share in the remote small farm Mælen in Jondal in Hardanger. But the slopes were steep, and when he took over, the houses were falling down. Instead of working the land, he turned the yard into an art and culture centre, with a gallery, party room and workshop. He himself is a craftsman who works with wood, and who takes impressive pictures and spins matchless balls.

Ingvar Aabrek Klingenberg, village boy from Trondheim, former museum director and art historian, has settled in a small remote cabin in Hitra, where the family had a holiday resort. He has no running water, he has no road to the yard, he cooks his food on grass, and what little electricity he has, he gets from a solar panel. But there Klingenberg sits and writes literary works about art history.

Yvonne and Ole Jacob Christensen run the small farm Vikabråten in Vestre Slidre, and they run it as it was run in the interwar period. They have no other electricity than what they get from a small solar panel, and they have no other road than a heavy and steep cart road. The horse pulled the plow through the snowdrifts, the iron plow through the potato field and the sled with hay the mile-long road from the mountain hut.

Anne Vågen Skindalen lives in a mountain valley on Hardangervidda together with three or four cows. She gets her income by churning butter and selling it to the convenience store in Rauland - three miles away. In the winter she drives a snowmobile, in the summer she rides a quad bike, before she has to hire a man with a boat and a car. In spring and autumn, hoes can be isolated for weeks. But in Skindalen she will stay all her days until the end.
