very wise words kevin, conserving your own energy is so important, we can forget this !!!, a friend said this to me yesterday, she said your always running around for others , why dont to look after your "self" more . great advice mate
Thanks Kev great advice to look after oneself to and myself i am in that stage of disconecting from the outside world of drama and getting back to nature and living simply .i am lucky i do live on an acre of land that this year going to grow all my veg in polly and be prepared for next year a dogs life 😀
To watch that little girl sat next to you looked like she was listning to a story , i am 75now but still don't feel old I've got my health but no my boundaries I know I can't run anymore or jump for that matte, lol and im always saying I will live for another 20 years, I have been saying that for the last 5 years 😊 sending love and hugs ❤❤
I am finding as I get older that I do need more time to myself. The desire to disconnect from the world around me does grow strong and that is made challenging by working in the public sector. Engaging can be difficult so I keep thinking happy thoughts and keep smiling!
@@themanofthewoods - definitely age but also reverting back to my younger self. I was always happy in my own company. I have, in recent years, been able to surround myself with like minded friends. We care about each other - check in on each other-but respect each other’s space - and that is appreciated!
Hello! I clean and maintain my "real" leather boots and clean up the rest occasionally with a wash in the laundry. My left foot has a anomaly that turns my heel more inward so because of that they wear out quickly. I did have a custom orthopedic insert made but the insurance only pays once and that cost $600! Crazy huh? I never "lend" money because I then don't have an expectation of being paid back. I do lend only to "trusted" friends BTW...😉 Don't ever let others dictate your convictions in ALL aspects of your life because everyone of us are responsible for ALL of our well being, shelter, food, etc.
Same I don't lend family n friends money it complicates relationships that can be a bit hard too maintain anyway if I can spare it its yours n only have too ask but obvs if a stranger or buisness arrangement yes I want my doe back but family n friends no I don't know why really people may say that's crazy or I'm lying but assure that's the truth if i put 5 bits of bread on table then us 5 have a slice each ..maybe I hold a few reserves for myself and us but I won't ask a return because I belive sharing is the fundamental too the human experience its sharing brought us together it keeps things in good order ...if you watch a predetor over its kill they growl get very protective or some dogs or cats will growl n protect there food harshly wheras a human eating chips or bit food you say can I have a few chips or bite your burger we do it automatically more than chimps or any other animal as far as I can tell and I belive that's our strength...sharing ...humans are Co -dependent by nature I mean some off us less so than others but it's not a bad thing co-depency it's just leaning on each other n keeping close relations ...getting married for example is co dependant in legal terms nevermind just relations wise lol....anyway thanks if read bit long winded comment just a brainstorm..cheers all best ✌✌

Hello! Just found your channel and i realy enjoy watching how you live off grid. Wish i could have my own little hut to live in off grid. How do you go about finding land in uk ?? Love your channel! x
Thanks for the sub! And thank you for your lovely comment. I just kept searching online. Sometimes up to 3 times a day to try and get the right bit of land for me. It wasn't easy and i have heard it is harder now, as there are many people looking for land.

Perfect! I like the fact You're making the path to being as self sufficient as possible. It's the way forward.

I fully get that! It is quite tiresome being social at time's. Maybe it is an age thing?

@@nardaelvidge3552 And that is the perfect way to be I think!
@@themanofthewoods ditto!
I often go out and do some wild camping and find that it`s great for my mental health. It`s also great to get a technology detox.
Especially the tech detox! Regaining the balance within is the key i feel.
@@themanofthewoods Very true.
There are so many people who will take advantage of your good nature.I know I've never done that so I can truly sleep at night.
This is true, and often they are the unhappy one's in time!
