"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done! - Розваги
Rachael is absolutely delightful. Giving her more screen time would boost your subscriber numbers significantly.
Thanks for the appearance Rachel. Being on camera isn't for everyone, but it is comforting to see that he's not out there in the woods alone talking to himself.
Accurate!
I’ve had that exact conversation with myself before about how great it would be to have someone else around to talk to, and I agree with myself. We also think it would be great if she talks to herself too because that would be four people in the conversation…. 😂
Rachel looked so adorable when she said she might not be on again! She's a doll!! Kevin, never listen to the comments unless they're positive!! You guys are doing such an EXCELLENT job with your content! We LOVE your videos!! ❤
Behind every great man there's a great woman . . . pushing him with all her might! 😉 Great job, Rachel!
Indeed!!!
I agree and thank you 😂
Unironically true.
Awesome comment and hilarious handle! 😄
Rachel there's no way he could build all this without you being behind the scenes 😊
Rachel, thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone to support Kevin's channel and his work. You are truly lovely and grace-filled, even when you're not sure about your performance in front of the camera! Great job on being a homesteading, off-grid couple, and thanks for letting us see the relationship that you and Kevin have ❤
I enjoyed this one from my tiny cabin in the woods. I think Rachel should do whatever she wants to do as long as she lets you keep making worthwhile videos.
I enjoy this comment, we all should do things we like doing.
I think that Rachel is lovely, the power behind the scenes. You make a great team.
Rachel you are so cute! I love that you pop in on occasions. You have such a sweet voice and seam to have such a sweat personality. Thanks for spending time with us thus week.
She is so beautiful. That smile is so bright. You can see the joy in the eyes. ❤️
Rachel doesn't need any encouragement. Her rare appearances keep her mysterious. She's a sweetheart and you are a lucky man to have her by your side. Love your content.
Thank you for not talking like your brother, we like you for being you, doing your things on camera.
Thank you Rachel, nurses are such an important part of the community.
Lol, Rachel cutting wood and Kevin saying: "we're freezing this winter" 😂
I couldn't take away his favorite past time 😉
I think I speak for most of us who watch your channel that is always nice to see the beautiful Mrs Self Reliance. And hear her opinions thoughts on everything.
Yay!! Rachel you are so loved!! what a wonderful surprise and treat to see you.. we do need more Rachel in the video's, maybe you can do it on the down low.. like hide somewhere in the video and it can be a where's rachel segment each week..lol.. Y'all are so sweet together..
Hi Rachael, You rock, thanks for looking after Kevin for us, Together you make the world a better place, or at least the internet.
Rachel is lovely and it’s good to see your property is also her vision for your family. You’ve bragged on her and now we see why. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone for a day. It was great to get to know you better! ❤
You two make a beautiful couple. It's a joy to see you together
! xx
Rachel is a gem? Absolutely love her laugh !
you might not like the camera rachel, but the camera likes you. you have the most beautiful personality with such a lovely smile. kevin your a lucky man.
Rachel should have a gardening/homestead channel. I’d watch that.
Rachel brings new light to the video ..Your one lucky man to have a beautiful wife
I enjoyed watching you both spend an afternoon together. Thank you Rachel for coming on the video. Take care.
Yellow is a common carrot color. Orange carrots got their color from selective breeding them in the Netherlands in the 17th century in honor of the Dutch House of Orange. Carrots can be found in red and purple as well. Great video 👏
It was nice to see Rachel, again. I know that she doesn't like it, so thank you, Rachel, for your time and clearing up that Kevin is infact not sleeping alone in the off grid cabin.
Rachael, even though you are a bit reticent, you are very good on camera. Thanks to both of you for a great video.
Rachel is a great woman beautiful smile and you’re lucky to have someone that enjoys the same things you do. Love watching her laugh and smile yall compliment each other perfectly.
Nurses are good at interviewing. We interview patients every day about their past medical history, etc. etc. Rachel, you need to write him a script or something for next time so he can actually interview you! Good job though, it was really fun to see you both actually enjoying the property :-)
I enjoyed this episode with you both, maybe Rachel could do some catch and cook videos for us every now and then. I think she did really well in front of the camera.
Rachel is a gorgeous woman and you two make a wonderful couple. Kevin, I love watching your videos and Rachel, please make more appearances.
It was so nice to see Rachael. She is adorable. I understand she is camera shy. Me too. You can clearly see how much she loves you Kevin.
Rachel it's nice to see your smiling face. We love❤ seeing and hearing you..behind all great men is a woman who's laughing her butt off😂😂😂🌻
Rachel the fact that you enjoy Kevin s dreams he creates and you both enjoy the end results together is special,,, too see Donn, and Chris, and the occasional family friend special guests showcases how special that dream is, share it among your selves, money will only corrupt that dream, paradise starts with a dream !
This video is so refreshing, so nice to see Rachel. Hope to see you again.
Thank you for sharing your moment with your beautiful wife! Thank you Rachel for your service. Also your daughter is so precious! Can’t wait to see your next build. Again Thanks for sharing ❤ From Beavercreek Ohio😊
Rachael, you are a tremendous part of this successful adventure. Please do not be overwhelmed by being on camera. You are a delightful addition. Know that you are greatly appreciated and KNOW hubby could not do all of this without YOU! PS would much rather see you than "the brother" IMHO
It's great to see Rachel in videos. She did a fine job! I would like to see more of your gardening plots throughout the year. I feel like that is a big part of self-reliance that really anyone can do. And more of your new cats, because the internet loves cats.
Rachel is so cute she definitely needs way more camera time. she sure pretties the place up when ever she is around !!
Good morning Rachael, welcome to Kevin Cursing in the Woods. I was one of the first subscribers Modern Self Reliance. Having watched Chris`s cabin build series before that. You must be a good nurse, Kevin has all major and minor limbs attached!!!!! Your support of Kevin's lunacy has entertained me for over three years. Some people are not born, for the Spotlight of UA-cam. Stay in your comfort zone and let Kevin drive around in his Rambler!
I’ve been watching since the beginning, happy to see Rachel (fellow nurse) …please come back soon.
As you know the job of a nurse (and mother) is demanding, I am here as much as I can. Thank you for all your support ❤
So nice to see Rachel! She adds beauty to every shot! The kitties are so cute! You're little one chose great names! It was a nice video!
8:06 in Dutch we call them "Elfenbankjes" which translates to Elf's seat or Elf's couch.
It's fun to see both of you in the video, Kevin and Rachael!
Are you going to turn all those apples into cider? Might be a fun project for a video!
My 88 year old Mom loves your channel.She would love to see more with your wife.She says,"she's a sweetheart".
Say Hi to your mom for me!
Hi Rachel your smile makes everybody on UA-cam smiling with you keep up with your visiting every now and then love the UA-cam channel watch it every time he starts building.❤❤
Seriously? You have to explain everything about your lives? I see a secure couple raising a beautiful daughter making a future for themselves. No explanation necessary. Keep on keeping on Kevin and Rachel!
I loved this one. I was among those thinking Rachel kicked you out to the cabin. lol I'm glad that isn't the case. It's awesome knowing she is such a big part of the channel, even if only behind the scenes. Hope to see more of her though. It's cool to see it as a family thing.
You are both pretty special🤗 Wishing you health, wealth and lots of happiness and love 💗 from me in B.C.
I have lived solo off the grid for 2 1/2 years. I have been watching your channel for a while now, I am inspired and learn a lot. No offense but this has been my favorite so far lol. No seriously its great seeing you lovely wife. Life is in hard mode here but I love it.
To be honest it's nice to see you both and it's nice to have a chilled out video where you're both mooching about and it's nice to see Rachel too she's obviously the brains behind the whole operation.
Rachel chopping woods.
People do NOT MESS WITH THIS WOMAN!!! ❤
Holy moly! This was a fantastic video! Rachel, as an introvert I understand your resistance against being on camera... But you are still bringing a lot of positive energy every time we see you. And I liked to learn new things about garden veggies. Some of those things don't grow here in Norway but my mission will now be to get myself ever-growing strawberrys. And Rachel, I hope these comments gives you some extra courage as we hope to see you again in more videos.
I Love seeing you on the channel. I like to watch the building building stuff. I often wonder how you and Rachel were doing. I wish to thank you for for sharing your life.
Great job on the fishing young lady. I've been with you guys since the beginning. I had to retire in May of 2020 due to the big sick and shutdowns because I have a severe lung condition. Thanks for being so awesome and sharing these times with everybody. When I start receiving my disability I would love some merch.
I loved seeing Rachel! What a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. Really enjoyed seeing her & what she does. Thank you Rachel.
Rachel, you are the wind beneath Kevin's wings. 😁 Don't be bashful. You look great in the videos! Behind the scenes is sometimes much more interesting than what's in front of the lens. 🤣
Rachael is so genuine and adorable. Loved seeing her on camera. Love her cute giggle. Would be lovely to see her more. Great job you two! ❤️
The first mushroom clusters on the big log may be honey mushrooms. A spore print will help identify, as well as more local knowledge.
You need to do a question and answer with Rachel. She seems super sweet. Good Job Kevin.
You rock Rachael. You have to be the most patient wife to put up with all this building and dangerous projects
Rachael... We LOVE seeing you!! You're adorable... and so cute together. 👊❤ How's the book coming along? Is it your first book or third or ? :)
Thank you, it's my first book. It's hard to find the time but it's coming along.
@@rachael9171 apparently my offer to be available for questions (free, of course) should you choose to self publish, was removed. I probably mentioned the brand commonly used on accident. Anyway... you can find how to reach me. Enjoy! Writing is so much more than pen on paper. ✍ 👊❤
Make "Cider" with the apples🍎 & pears🍐. . . Maybe even consider making a bee🐝 hive project experiment somewhere deep in the bush to assist the pollination process then you can make "Mead"
Rachel is adorable! Don't be shy, Rachel; we appreciate you! You and Kevin are a perfect pair.👍
Rachel, love seeing you in the videos. You should do more. love the gardens..i'm a 73 year old grandma and love the gardens. Keep growing and showing..
I just realized I’ve grinned thru the whole video. I love the banter between the two of you.
Ok coffee after a cup of vodka at lunch, I need this in my life. Rachel, your funny and bring a great Ying to his yang. For those of us who don't have a process engineer mind you make sense to us non complicated minds who think of ten things and not over think one thing. Love you guys
Not bnb- adult summer camp! Teaching camp. How to use a saw mill, how to cut down a tree , how to build stuff the Kevin/Don way? Sign me up !!!
At 70 years old,and don’t even ask where all those years went, I find I watch videos of people I feel that I would love to spend the day with. I enjoy watching you but I think the way your mind works would tire me out quick, fast and in a hurry. My mind is on Louisiana time and moves from place to place much slower! Watching you with your delightful Rachel I think your stock went up a thousand fold. I can totally see myself sitting by that pond with coffee and a book, soaking up the smells, sounds and company all around me. Just waiting for that call to say “ RitaLouise come on over”! 😉
Kevin is an expert rambler and i never get tired of it
Ying for Kevins Yang. Way to go team Canada!! Great health to you and yours.
Enjoyed getting know Rachel more and seeing the 'behind the scenes'. She's great on cam! 🎉 No need to be shy at all.
this was a really fun hangout, and meeting your wife was a pleasant surprise. i say that, this felt like i was there with you and it was really chill.
She's fantastic to see on the channel! Like Don is a man of few words on camera, it's still great to see your helping hands.
If I am being honest, at one point I did think that Kev had been evicted from the family home and was taking refuge at the off grid.... I didn't comment (i don't think I did...) but it really did cross my mind! Good to see the family is still strong, you have a lovely family Kevin and a really great piece of off grid property, not to mention the talent to make the structures that you have! Rachel, you are great on camera, don't be shy, be yourself.
Rachel we love you. You make his funny make sense. Thanks for doing this episode. We enjoyed your charm. You should do more episodes! I was reminded how contagious your laugh is as we remembered how funny it was when you were laughing at him trying to get the piglets out of the back of the truck. So funny!
Rachel you are Stunningly Beautiful...the best warmingly Smile and a delight for the channel...please be involved more...you and Don are the best 🎉
Rachel, he just loves you soo much.💝 he could film you all day. It is great to see some of your side of the foresting. You are shining.💝🙏🕯
I really enjoyed seeing Rachael, I hope you feel comfortable enough to be on the videos more:)
Rachel your awesome!!!! Your hubby would not be able to do all this with out you. Great teamwork, beautiful marriage 💑
Rachel it’s good to see you on camera. I’d love to see you make something with that mushroom. Perhaps a episode of her doing her artist projects would be good Kevin.
It's nice to see your wife, and seeing how y'all care for each other 😘😘
Rachel it's obvious that we only see him for just a few. BUT YOU SEE HIM A LOT AND YOU SEE AND KNOW WHAT HE DOES 24-7. ALL the things he has Done in and out of the woods diffently had to have been seen by you first. He is very lucky to have two Beautiful girls Supervising. 😅❤ BLESSINGS FROM PUERTO RICO. ❤❤😂
Rachel. You are awesome. You have the same job as me. My sons do the heavy work and i do the behind the scenes stuff. Love it.
Rachel you’re so cute. I understand you’re shy but we love seeing you! Anyway the guy’s a genius so just say hi occasionally so we know you’re around. What a world you’ve carved out for yourselves
Rachel is a precious gem! Love all your builds but some some Rachel Time is always welcome!
I really enjoyed seeing the two of you together. The way you two interact is completely cute
I HAVE to comment, because Rachael reads the comments, and because you told us to!!! Rachael!!! You said Kevin talks too much and I DISAGREE!!!! As someone who has been told for 50 years that I talk too much, I want to know, who decides??? I love engaging with life and everything around me and I have lots to say. So what??? I actually quilt and sew and knit... lots of "sitty" things, and I keep coming back to this channel to hear Kevin talk!!! He's marvelous company! It has been great fun to get to see you and watch you two interact... Kevin always says he chose well - I wondered if he was married to someone VERY quiet, but you hold your own pretty well. Great video!!! Nice to meet you!!!
A lot of people have a hard time understanding someone who prefers to be off camera! PA's make life easier!
That truly a land of abundance, most everything u and your family/firends needs is there on your land.ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS✊👌👌👌👌👌
Nice to see you on the channel Rachel! You will get used to the camera. No man is complete without a great woman beside him!
It makes a fine change to get a husband and wife special video.
Rachael, Thanks for showing up in the video! You did great! It looks like you were having a nice autumn day of fun (and cleaning up after the dudes...)
It's nice to see Rachel. Don't be so shy. Say "hi" more often.
I think everyone was worried that y’all were having trouble due to the title of the videos. I’m glad everything is well with y’all. Looking forward to all the new builds.
Laughing so hard! 😂 I’m happy to see that all is well on the off grid forest. 😊 I just thought Rachel kicked you out of the house for a bit…😊
Not yet.... 😉
lol!!
Kevin, you are making great videos! That is why we are watching them. Don’t feel you need to placate the self indulgent whiners. They are fickle
Thank you Rachel for showing those Beautiful Kittens !!
Hi Rachel! Reading through the comments myself, it's safe to say we're all always glad to see you when you make yourself seen. Do what makes you happy, but maybe pop in & say howdy more often eh?
Kevin, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife.
Would love to see more of Rachel in front of the camera.
Rachel you are a delight please consider joining in more videos! :)
we enjoy seeing Rachael on camera with ya but I understand her wanting to stay behind the camera I am shy like her also but she does a great job when she is on camera
