Homeless shepherd shares hunter-gatherer diet & survival tips

- For more than a decade, Aaron Fletcher has lived as a nomadic shepherd, mostly out of a micro-camper pulled by his sheep. He supports himself as an itinerant farmhand through work trading, bartering his sheep’s milk for food and supplies. He also skill-shares in exchange for food, “including wool felting, wool spinning, cheesemaking, survival, bushcraft, etc.”
Watch the other two stories with Aaron Fletcher's:
- Part I: On Guerrilla Grazing around Southern Oregon • Went homeless. Done Gu...
- Part III: Radical simplicity & autarky on a solo wagon micro-farm • Homeless shepherd star...
He considers himself a herder-gatherer and his diet consists of a lot of milk and cheese (courtesy of his sheep), as well as foraged foods (wild greens, seeds, and even ingredients to make his own toothpaste) and some traded meat, potatoes, and citrus (especially after learning he was deficient in Vitamin C).
He’s lived in apartments and conventional homes, and he was about to purchase a home before deciding to go nomadic a dozen years ago. He now lives all year, even during the snowy Oregon winter, in his tiny sheep cart that is fitted out with a bed, folding table, solar freezer, wood-burning stove, and solar cooker.
He defines himself as “homefree” or “the opposite of being homeless... it’s also the opposite of being housed, it’s like the third side of a coin. There have always been the haves, and the have-nots (possessions), but homefree means being a have-not-want”. Fletcher sees his sheep-pulled as the ideal-sized home: more equipped than living off pack boxes, but less cluttered than a traditional house.

The value of this video is that without it I wouldn’t ever even imagine that someone was doing this. I feel like I’ve been really caught up and maybe feeling a little trapped in the system. It’s so refreshing to see this guy demonstrating that life isn’t limited to the lanes that are painted by other people.
Babylon is gonna fall, get out now
You can live outside of the system without doubling down on some demanding lifestyle like this guy. The problem with this is his lifestyle is a full time job. In the "system" you get to have time to relax and not worry about where you're going to eat/sleep.
@@Makoman2008 Its not sustainable...he is going to regret it when gets older....
@@truth-Hurts375 You can see so many likes him and well wishers. They are going to bartend his experience for his shelter. Humanity is there and people likes him.
@@msr5160 Nicely put. Without optimism, why would we go on?
He's living the way he wants and isn't causing harm to anyone... I say more power to him!
Besides him posting random right wing transphobic stuff about how "trans people are the problem in society"... haha
Us locals seem him as an example and an asset to the community!
well except animals.
@@kattihatt he is not harming his animals he likely takes better care of them then most take care of their human family.thats his family an they not only pull their weight but also have free range of the country side to snack on along the way useing his sheep to pull his wagon is something they likely enjoy that keeps them healthy and strong .they are blessed to have him
@@newdogatplay i didnt mean particularly his animals, but since he eats meat and animal products he is harming animals indirectly. And how does he get the sheep milk without harming the sheeps?
This guy is genius, a nutritionist, a botanist, zoologist, etc. He really lives a richer life than a lot of people including me.
I guess you haven't seen his video where he shoots dead a family of raccoons because they annoyed him by taking fruit from a tree. This guy is not quite right.
@@pippaknuckle I bet 99.9% of the people here have no idea what you're talking about. Did you have a link or something?
Ugh . This guy got permission to be free on their land? If he did more power to him. Most of the time these guys make biohazards, dump their animals , and start again. No ty.
In other words , He's a stoner
You're just throwing rocks out there at this gentleman I know who Miss Kristen is I seen her work and she's a good judge of person and cares for the safety of her children and if this gentleman was harmful in any type of way she would not be around him with her children. And you still haven't produced this video of him killing the raccoons so people would say you are a liar is this the type of social media
He has a home on wheels, he’s not homeless. His lifestyle works for him and provides a needed service in his community. It may not be for everyone, but it’s certainly a valid lifestyle.🐝🤗❤️
‼️👏🏻😆
Agreed, he's happy.

Agreed, Deborah !! 👍❤️🙏🌈 Aaron is anything but homeless.. He's one of the most Self-directed people I've ever seen on You Tube ‼️ Keep doing what you're doing, Aaron and know that you are Blessed! 🕉️✌️🕊️☘️🌾🌻🌷🌰🎃
Aaron is a walking library of knowledge. May God bless him and keep him safe.
Homeless isn’t the right term. Aaron Fletcher’s “home” is actually much bigger than most people’s. Thank you for bringing this unique young man’s story, perspective and philosophy to the public. He is an inspiration.
He’s home free, not homeless. ❤
The world is his home
exactly!
Yep! Exactly my comment too! Thank you :)
So true! Wiling to accept a humble life! Just like the pioneers. He is richer than us!
I also reacted, not in a good way at all to the more than silly title of this otherwise great video.
I love how this person is living a sustainable, no waste lifestyle. Being a nomad is not the same as being “homeless.” He chooses to live this way and honestly I’m really impressed.
He has invented a sustainable lifestyle, like the covered wagon of the past. Would reindeer work instead of sheep ?
That could be interesting.
Would you marry this guy and live his life?
Mary, I couldn't have said it better myself!
He is very inspiring and shows us how materialistic most of us are in our daily lives. Many of us with means have too many objects that we do not truly need. I could not go as far as he does but I could definitely reevaluate my life and buy less and put more appreciation into small things.
@@joyduncan9434 I've started decluttering and getting rid of things. Starting with clothes I never wore and will never wear. I will be going round the house and getting rid of ornaments and nick nacks that are just there for decorative purposes. Time to scale down!!!
Just a rich man living his best life I respect it
This is not a hunter-gatherer lifestyle as advertised in the title, but that of a pastural nomad.
This means you travel with your grazing livestock. There are lots of people around the world who live like this, especially in central Asia and in Africa.
Really cool to see that someone is doing it in America too!
Yes, in parts of Africa, Mangolia, Russia. People live this lifestyle.
Do you watch Jim Nduruchi
verdade, ao invés de ficarem destruindo o mundo com suas luxurias, com seus prazeres mundanos em busca de uma felicidade que nunca irá chegar e apenas alimentado o sistema ao qual você é o escravo
In Asia only some countries living like that. But Asia not a taxpayers country
That why government no help them
When they poor
They leave you alone they don't care
Not like a taxpayers
Country
Taxpayers country when you poor they help you untill you find a job
Also in NZ they not allowed anyone to do living like the man do they no want country to full of rubbish and
shit everywhere in the Bush or countryside
Taxpayers country
Always good for everything
Taxpayers country
keep country richer and valuable
With good EDUCATION for everyone
NZ had a good laws
Taxpayers country
Make country is richer and good EDUCATION and
The best country
To leave
No taxpayers poor
People everywhere
No government helping at all
Take a big looking
Before comment
Each country laws
not the same
That man lives a richer life then most people. Good for him. Seems extremely happy and positive
He seems biblical.
I have seen others like him who are traveling less but nonetheless live a very high quality life.
No this guy is the waste of air. His life is selfish and he is not doing any good for society. This country needs unselfish people who work hard pay taxes and is helping society.
@@stevewhite51 okay corporate slave
@@stevewhite51 if we were all more self sufficient then we wouldn’t need government to collect so much taxes. I would argue it’s selfish to expect society to fund your life, you should be independent.
he is not a homeless shepherd, he is an intelligent person who chooses the life style like this ！
He can be a teacher to teach we city people how to survive in simple ！
People can learn a lot from him. His life style and diet has no frills and just what he needs to survive. No time wasted on unnecessary things like watching tv, eating junk food. He’s in tuned with his environment. He’s real intelligent and has a good soul and cares for his animal friends.
Yes, I love how kind he is with his sheep.
Life - BS
@@lindaobrien2659 I would also be very kind with the sheeps... particularly the one in the middle with those beautiful eyes and amazing legs... mmmm ...
Was very taken with his level of intelligence and knowledge. And his kindness and caring for his sheep was endearing. If we lived closer to him, would definitely trust him to watch my livestock and support his lifestyle.
the only downside is that he is alone. In time of need is good to have sm1 close to you. When get sick i mean. Or olf. Because you will. Both. Then is HARD. One can always keep a gun and one spare bullet i guess. (better 2)
I adore the way he talks to his sheep. You can tell how much he loves them.
And appreciates them. True team work!
A rare example of a truly free person.
Love and blessings to him and thanks for reporting his story.
He's not free.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 and how you know?
Are YOU free?
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 Not free in the sense that he's tethered to caretaking his animals, which is a big responsibility. Happy is a better word for it, he seems to be doing what he loves so in that sense he's far ahead of most of the planet.
And Isn't that the best definition of free ?
Hardly free. He still has to work every day or he gets nothing and also has to depend on others,
I wish him well. May he always be healthy, happy, and safe. God bless, Aaron!
This man is not Homeless. He is a free range human living the right way. Thank you for showing us the way. 🙏
Unusual, but well thought out lifestyle.. Love his barter with local farms.... while Aaron is grounded in his way of life, he's also connected with folks in a more usual country life . He has a cheerful spirit.!!!
He is both brilliant and happy. He reminds me of my nephew.
Fascinating. This man is highly intelligent Talk about being self-sufficient.
I think his life is perfect. Simple yet productive. Stress-free and enjoys nature. Healthy living with his sheep buddies. 💜💜💜
This man is definitely ahead of the curve! Great respect. 👍
Ahead of what curve exactly?
Whatever the case no one shall claim this dude is not ripped.
@@chedubetcha69 you'll understand eventually, but by then it'll probably be too late for you.
@@snowfrosty1 again, you didn’t answer anything. Just eluded to some weird ominous demise.
@@chedubetcha69 yeah, that is the usual type of reply, when somebody asks for an actual explanation... what I wonder, how do all these off the grid or quitting the rat race people think they will spend their elder years.. basically they spend their youth and adulthood, most productive years, by not wanting to contribute to society in actual financial and meaningful ways, but then when they will get sick and old, they will show up at soup kitchen and shelters and ask for help...
I lived in my van and in my car with my girlfriend for 16 months travelling around Australia and camping as we went. Working just when needed. I can really say there is something light and magical about it. A sense of freedom and deep connection with our slower, more natural, rhythm. I highly recommend it as an experience if you can. It costs very little and you learn a lot. It is to this day one of my most cherished memories.
It's difficult when you don't have savings though
What a beautiful life. I envy you. 🥰💖🙏
@@neatfaith9223 yes for sure. Savings help for lots of things.
Probably my favorite video , I love how detach from society and happy he and his animal family are
When I was a kid in the Catskills, there was a man we called "nature boy." He had a farm and in his youth was married. His girl couldn't handle it and moved back to NYC. He abandoned the house and moved to the barn. The healthiest man I ever met. Well educated. His monthly magazine subscriptions included medical journals. Lived a long a wonderful life close to God and his land till the his late 80s. Never a cross word or unkind deed. This fellow reminds me of him and I wish he was my neighbor.
This man is so intelligent. He could live another way if he wanted to. He wants to do this and I think he lives well for what he does. I don’t feel sad when I watch this because he is self sufficient and he will go in whatever direction he wants.
He can't sustain a family. Or a significant other.
Seriously, it's a lot harder than the manipulated truth shown here.
He seems to eat and live a very healthy life style and not have to slave away 9-6 at a standard job, trapped sitting in front of a computer, just destroying your body and wasting your whole life... He's smart to live the way he does..
@@mysticbengals521 truth. what the public eye considers as "home" is a fairytale image anyway that will go to dust with death
@@mysticbengals521 yeah, for now.. lets see when he is 60 something, gets sick and frail.. I bet he will come back to society and ask to be taken care of by the same society he now refuses to meaningfully contribute to..
Very inspiring bloke. We have been so indoctrinated with the drive for success and progress, it can create a lot of blockages to creativity and joy. Aaron has obviously punched through that paradigm and has found a harmony that our ancestors enjoyed.
This man is utterly inspirational, more power to him. I would watch a whole series on this guy and how he lives throughout the year.
utterly inspirational for real :)
His channel is fascinating. I've been following him for awhile now.
@@rtyria I didn’t realize he had his own channel. Now I have to look him up!
I’ve just found this channel and love it. I’d also watch a full series of his day to day life. 🥰
I know right? Instead of following rich a-holes around all day lets get an in-depth look at this guys life.
For anyone who questions this man’s lifestyle
He’s truly living the way we are intended to be living
One bad circumstance could send this guy into an unstoppable downward spiral (and possible death). He has no money, no safety net, no good long term plan. He's basically living a 3rd world lifestyle that tens of millions of people are desperately trying to escape. He's living a simple life without a care in the world, that's great until bad times roll around (which is often outside of ones control).
He's not living how we were meant to be his cart is equipment are all made using modern technology and some guys stuck in a factory
According to whom?
@HotRod D there is no such thing as intended way of living for human being. There are plenty of ways. All valid.
who we ?! or you are talking to yourself . that lifestyle may look romantic and peace in your eyes but this world need more
This guy is awesome! 100% respect his commitment to living on his own path!
He is rich , He is happy , He is free , He is in heaven ♥
What a beautiful human being. His wisdom, connection to nature and simple way of living. Just incredible ♥️
Lots of creeks in oregon
He is not homeless, he is at home with nature.
I sent a prayer out for him I hope the great Lord gives him everything he needs and wants and more May God bless him😊
The first thing I thought when I saw this title was, "Hey, wait a sec, he's not homeless!" A guy like A-Aron is never homeless. A citizen of the earth, that funky vardo is all the home he needs or wants. You go, A-Aron!
I could not read your comment without giggling at the A-Aron thing.
@@SilverFlame819 One of his other devoted viewers started referring to him as A-Aron last year and when I saw that I realized that I'd found my people, after I quit laughing my macha out my nose!
One of his sheep's name is baaaa lock é
@@alalverson1603 I hear he's insubordinant and churlish.
@@cherylcoyote 🤣😂 lmao chicanerous and deplorable! If only they were more honest like tim-othy.
This inspiring man is a "freelance sheep sheering, cheese maker" his home is where he is, and he has a productive four legged family business, that's far more than I, an urban dweller with no pets nor green (rental terms that suck). Homeless is different.
Thank you for all the wonderful docs about homes and alternative lifestyles while travelling the globe.
He is living the most needed life in obnoxious modern life he is the happiest person
Nice to see this guy again!
Dude is self sufficient on a different level. Plus he is just a good guy. Doesn’t lecture you he educates you with enthusiasm and he seems eager for others to follow or at least fell like they can do it.
Nice,,,sheep are great,,,but I really like my goats,,,,,be nice to meet that dude
He is not though, hes literally slumming it on others lands.
@@biggumstevens1784 is he? He is doing them a favor in return of him sitting on their farm.
@@Talajuno oh yeah a huge favor...that he could very well be making up...
Just because this dude said it doesn't make anything he said true.
@@biggumstevens1784 and the fact that you immediately choose to disbelieve him, says a lot about your unhealthy mentality.
That awesome man is one of the smartest men on earth. And I love how other people are helping him. They are helping each other.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, say that again.
I find this minimalist lifestyle so fascinating and efficient. I also admire this man's ingenuity in using a combination of minimal skills such as bartering along with a good natured spirit and trustworthiness that IMHO has been lost. This man is living a level of happiness and fulfillment that most of us may never experience. Enjoyed the vid, thank you for sharing it. 😊 👍
I'm a gypsy at heart and I find this so incredibly refreshing and inspiring! Love seeing people who aren't afraid to buck the norms and live authentically and free.
Perfectly happy with minimal belongings and a simple lifestyle helping others to help himself. Nice.
Exactly! What woman wants a guy with no possession? Doesn't exist especially in the American culture. Xmas is coming up and do you think a woman would settle down with his lifestyle? Nope!!!
@@daixer3156 well, she needs to be a special soul like he is. I believe there are some, though, but certainly not plenty.
@@Vienna1902 VERY FEW among & across the mainstream populaces of the West. Especially those of America & the Anglo commonwealth. No matter though, this man doesn't seem like he really "needs" a consistent woman or many other folks in his daily life tbh. More respect & power to him, ahead of the curve in certain respects.
That's a free spirit right there.
He has a lot less baggage than most people.
I agree with the impression. But I wouldn’t be as quick with judgement. I would argue that sever emotional baggage leads to this drastic change in lifestyle.
@@teekanne15 He's happy and that's all that matters.
Keep your judgment and armchair psychoanalysis to yourself.
@@teekanne15 how much do you think he’s been able to unload along the way? He’s given his own life purpose: simple, ethical, consistent. All life comes with challenge, his offers solutions and is beneficial to him and those around him.
@@Here_Today_ againn I agree. But I find comments that say stuff like "most people ...." difficult as we all only judge based on our small perceptive bubble of reality. I'd argue that at least a few years ago most people on this world lived pretty similar and actively chose to aquire more "wealth". Turning your back on "conventional" life is a privilege of the western culture he lives in wich is not the dominant culture on the world.
What if a female was to live like this? Would it be more difficult for her ?
Aaron has got it figured out. So many people lost today, unhappy, always looking for the next best thing. He has found his purpose, something most people die without ever knowing. I am absolutely loving these videos!
Wandering around torturing sheep is not living with purpose. The level of intelligence in the comment section is amazing.
@@captains5182 I'm sorry you feel this way. But there are billions that would prefer this way of life, it is very freeing
@user-pv9ox7se8r this has nothing to do with the way of life. That is perfectly fine. The problem is the utter stupididty that of this man torturing the sheep. I believe I made that clear. I have seen much hypocrisy with these self-righteous hippies. This is just another example. If he wants to do it right then he needs an animal of burden to pull that cart, otherwise, he is abusing the sheep. Be real and don't fall for the BS.
Sheep and goats have been used to pull carts for hundreds of years. Why is it different for “an animal of burden “? I assume you mean a donkey or cow. Or how about a horse force to carry a 100 plus pound human rider? The level f intelligence in these comments is laughable.
and a life in the mindless, filthy degenerate city is any better? no, not at all.@@captains5182
The Legend himself. Great to see he is still doing ok.
Another visit with Aaron and his sheepies. 🏃♂️🐏🐑🐑🐑 One of your best guests. Thanks for the update.
This is absolute freedom. Aaron loves his animals. He's inventive and clever. Maybe all that's missing is the shepherdess of his dreams!
Maybe he's Wed a sheep. He could use an old sheepskin to be safe. To be honest my children go to school with a human cat now literbox and all. I think he would never be cold by an ol doe
Lucky sheep 😍
This man is Living a Simple Life and giving a message of not needing so much materialistic things to be happy, what a wonderful message. Happiness is something you create for yourself.
Material things i don't need much of just the basics but i want to have money in my account..😁
In our current system, this guy is cleary nuts. If our system crashes, he is not only ahead of the curve, he is a village elder.
I love how he always sings and humms to the sheep when he "talks" to them ☺ pretty cool guy - all the knowledge he has! amazing.
If the apocalypse happens, I need him on my team. He is such an inspiration!
Intellectually I've always known there are people like this guy. They're out there living independently and way more free on a daily basis than myself. Emotionally, to see this man so in tune with the environment and forging social connections that cross multiple boundaries that serve others and his minimum needs is inspiring. I'm actually upset at my own lack of freedom and trapped lifestyle compared to him. I'm embarrassed.
Now, I subscribe to a number of channels. Some are about new technology and science. Some are about history and some are about van dwellers and nomadic life styles. Some times I sub to watch and see what a channel is like. Some get dropped after a few uses or after a few years.
I'm not sure how long I've been on Kristen's channel, perhaps a year or so. But this may be the best channel I have subbed ever. I can't see one reason to not watch any video she makes. The videos are very well done and interesting to me. She doesn't make the mistakes so many channels make I've used much longer but tolerate. Like redundantcy. Like assuming I have understanding incomprehension. Kirsten is a good teacher and a very good interviewer. Let me for the record say that I really respect her thoughtful skills.
As for this Traveling Shepard, mad respect for his lifestyle. There was once a man he reminds me of; a gentle man of long ago.
@@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach is that a UA-camr?
Nice comments from Planet Earth. You have probably done so many wonderful things that there’s no need at all for your being embarrassed
Blessings
ran into a guy with a wagon out death valley ways 10 years ago. living his life.
I love how this guy is so proud of his little wagon and sheep. He loves teaching people and showing off what he has! Dude puts off nothing but good energy.
This guy is so cool!
this is super inspiring. he's so kind to the sheep and seems so friendly. he's resourceful and so knowledgeable and independent. this is how i would like to live with my animals honestly. this is exactly what i am planning to do one day.
No me entero bien. Vende la leche?
why not do it now?
Why not start tonight
Well stay out of my community when you decide to be homeless. We can't afford to feed you and all the tent space at the beach is taken by other homeless.
Being kind to animals > exploit the females for milk, forced slavery, breed them for more fleece than healthy for them so humans can make wool and then stick a knife in them and eat them. The sheep love their "Friendship as resources for humans". Lol
Great to see this guy again he and his sheep are amazing 🙏❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
I’ve been thinking of this fella ever since your first interview!!! I love this guy, his positivity and innovation. Just inspiring 🙏🏻💜
Funny I was just thinking about him too. Very smart man.
What's with the stupid pray emoji
God bless you
It has to be so much easier on ur head
All the best to U
A Big respect for this man , regards from Frankfurt Am Main , Germany .
Think how many shepherds have led such good lives thousands of years.
a shepherd is a jailer and murderer of sheep.
@@j.ramone4116 what? Its legit theyr job to care for sheep without shephards there would be no sheep.
@@j.ramone4116 Yup. Where I live there is a shepherd on the loose they have been after for years.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I was watching the same thing or if this a new video. Is this really a new video or a re-upload?
@@XylonPH yeah I remember too I saw this guy. I hope he's doing well🙏
I'm a little jealous of his healthy happy outdoor life. He really is more free than most.
Glad to see Aaron is still roaming. Stay Well!!!
This is just fantastic. We homestead in a 300sq. ft. cabin after traveling for a few years living in our 5th wheel. This is the kind of person we love to meet and barter with.
This is not your classic dependent, drug addicted "homeless". This guy is brilliant, hardworking and entrepreneurial. I pray he (and his precious sheep) stay safe from harm and evil humans. God bless Aaron!
My aunt adopted 3 babies all born with drug addiction. Wasn't their fault...but sadly lived with a lifetime sentence.
Thats what life is all about, help people and be happy !
A great man full of courage. My respects.
He’s got a very relaxing tone
Glad tp see him again . Respect from Taiwan.
This guy is awesome. Would love to spend a day with him. He’s so free.
You can! He offers internships.
This is awesome! This guy is living his best life and like someone from 200 years ago.
No cell phones 200years ago
Yesssss ❤ I donated to Aaron last year when I saw you covered him. He’s everything. Thank you for covering again Kirsten! Much Love ❤❤
How can I donate to Aaron?
@@LuisGarcia-kl9wl Check the description
This guy's a genius! In my next life, I want to live like that!
He is absolutely at home with mother nature.
Aaron has incredible skills and fine mind. There's a lot to admire about this man. RIP Happy.
So was the unabomber and look at him now. Living like that has its price too
@@daixer3156 to offer up such a ridiculous comparison as part of some incoherent observation indicates your mind is far from fine. I could spend paragraphs defending the “fineness” of Aaron’s intelligence, wisdom, and character (all essential components of the mind) but instead I’ll just point out that you actually think a sociopathic, narcissistic, murderer like Ted Kaczynski has a fine mind. Don’t equate being clever with having a fine mind. It’s an untenable position to try to defend. Oh, and there are trade-offs and consequences to EVERY way one chooses to live a life. This channel is all about the choices people make by showing homes they live in. Free will is a wonderful thing and a blessing to our species.
Paul, who is RIP Happy?
@@daixer3156 Disrespectful comment. He is not bombing anyone.
@@marjoriegarner5369 Happy was one of Aaron’s dairy sheep that was lost to a case of bloat (I think that’s what it was). It was a bit heart breaking because a few months back Aaron nursed her through a very serious case of copper poisoning. And when this case of bloat happened he 2nd guessed himself in terms of treatment in deference to the advice of someone who was passing herself off as a vet. That lost valuable treatment time and she succumbed and died. You can go to his channel and watch it. It’s one of the most recent episodes. Be well.
This guy is the most fascinating person I've seen in a while. He really knows what he is doing, and his ideas are great. He could design the perfect carts for campers who want to be carbon zero, or those choosing a life "living rough". I love how sweet he is to his sheep. Also, I bet the sheep's milk pops are amazing. Safe Journeys, my friend!
He reminds me of a younger version of the reconstruction of Oetzi the Iceman. An inspirational individual and he's certainly not afraid of hard work.
This is a definition of a proficient minimalist forsure.
Hats off to the Man and his sheeps!!!
I Really Love This One...."Open To Long-term relationship"😁
Just amazing.... by the way he is absolutely not homeless, his home is the world, much bigger than our homes.
This guy is an inspiration, so knowledgeable and truly a top quality person. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
he has strong mind and heart
I would like to see more from him. I love this guy already!!!!! He needs his own UA-cam channel.
Been following Aaron for about a year now. He rules. I actually don't live very far from him either. I keep wanting to go out and meet him!
Go for it! No time like now.🤗
I missed where Aaron is living/working?
Hi could you please give me his Facebook name please?
What a wonderful young man and he is so ingenious. He is so sweet when he talks to his sheep. They are his babies.
I see a man following his dream and being an entrpreneur . The American spirit at work. Awesome, I wish you much luck and safety.
I can't describe how much I want to reach out and give a big f*%#%*g hug to this man. Love his way of living, love how much he loves his sheep. God bless him, he deserves to live a long life!
I love this one so much!!! His positivity and excitement when he shows the kids his “fort” makes me so happy and this is the kind of content more people need to see.
I could'nt do it but props to him for living his life.
This guy is everywhere haha..glad to know he's doing his thing.
@Kirsten I'm so glad to see you will do stories like this. Such a humble man, but so inventive, open, aware, and creative! Most people would look down on him and consider him "homeless". That is the farthest thing from the truth. Great video, very informative and so fascinating!😀👍
Isn’t it kind of ironic that you assume that everyone else would resent him in some way and there you „look down on everyone else“
The success of channels like these I think are a good indication that a large portion of people even look up to such free minds.
@@teekanne15 Agreed!😉👍
Can he have people over for dinner or game of Monopoly? Nope. He pays a price to live the way he does.
@@daixer3156 Well, sure but that doesn’t seem to bother him. 😊
@@daixer3156 He engaged very well with @Kirsten_Dirksen, wouldn't you agree? He loves living off the grid. I don't see him as depressed or suffering. He has adapted well to his situation, in my opinion. He even has his own website. 😃👍
Me and my wife travel in a van and this person is an amazing human being. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to see into his life.
This isn't homelessness, this is a lifestyle, and a sustainable one at that! Would love to see more of this. Thank you!
Love this guy so much! He is a walking talking living inspiration for humanity to thrive without money and be self sufficient. I was surprised to hear him say he’s only a step above the homeless with backpacks. I think he’s at the very very top. Thank you for another inspiring video!
What an inspiration! This guy not only walks the talk but lives the life. And side note...what a body! Perfect form without "special" diets and gyms. Watching people like him makes me feel such shame on how I've lived my many decades here on earth consuming without thought. Such regret's I have now that I'm old. But I guess it's never to late and can do what I can to minimalize and live a more conscience life.
Blooming fantastic! I wish there was someone like him in my neck o the woods! What a legend!
I wanted to live simply... I salute his journey 😍
Wait, I just took delivery of 2022 Porsche 911, what do I do
What a lovely gentle kind man!
He defines the theory of 'Less is more'. I'd watch his UA-cam channel, if he had one. Please make a series with Aaron, he is awesome to watch and learn from.
he does its in the description
I would too!
He seems like one of the most kindest knowledgeable person ever. If anything happens in the world I can guarantee that he will definitely survive. He's got a lot of good skills.
Very peaceful knowledgeable living life large. So healthy!
sadly because he is nomadic and roams with livestock he'd probably be one of the first to go in such a situation, unless a group took him in (which they should) for his knowledge alone
@@escapetherace1943 No way! Nomadic people like himself will outlast all the city folk by a longshot. He is healthy and fit and mentally strong, people from the city's won't last longer then a few days considering all their skills they have developed throughout their life and worthless in such a situation. Plus's relying on cars to go everywhere and machines to do everything for them.
@@tomw6947 yes but in that kind of scenario pillaging and raiding become a thing, usually in armed groups, and fast.
He's not nomadic in the sense that he's deepwoods rural, and the area he's in has a huge population. The real people who will survive the longest in those situations, hypothetically, are those who can hunker down and live off supplies in a secure, monitored area, or those underground.
Ideally you would network with those similarly minded and with your neighbors to have plans in place, because teamwork is a much better strategy to survive, that guy someone might raid may be the same guy who knows deep farming skills and can effectively grow you healthy crops and avoid crop disease while doing so, or he may have real medical skills, you just don't know. People need to not panic and come together in those kinds of situations.
Realistically I doubt it.
He demonstrates a barter and service life style but he’s not that self sustaining especially when he mentioned food and lack of vitamin C and lives between rural and suburban areas. He could have survival skills beyond this but so far I don’t really think so.
He makes this shelter look cozy, lifestyle simple.
