    Rachael is absolutely delightful. Giving her more screen time would boost your subscriber numbers significantly.

    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.

    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.

      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, 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. 🤣

  • @countryboytrappedinthecity9473

    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.

    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 ❤

    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!

    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 👏

    Rachel seems like she knows allot about plants and gardening. It would be cool to see some segments about how and what to grow for newbies, like me, that are trying to become a bit more self-reliant.
    Some people would love the drilling hammering and sawing or even helping you with a p[roject. You could do a viewer contest to come spend a few days helping you do projects and enjoying the outdoors.

    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.

    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.
