  • This video is a from the heart chat about where I am and where I hope to go, with the help of my technical department. As she is the brains side of this channel and I wouldn't be here if it was not for her believing in me! I am quite a stubborn and very independent person in reality, yet have come to terms that no one man can be an island! He needs a canoe sometimes?
    This channel has come about due to my "technical department" telling me I have a story to tell? I have not had the belief in myself nor been that comfortable about this channel concept, yet to continue my support for her and to demonstrate that sometimes we all have to push through uncomfortable situations! Here I am attempting (with what knowledge I have) to show you all that a more simple life can be a more fulfilling life.
    I thank each and every one of you for showing me, that just one person who believes in you, can change your life.
    The coffee I am drinking is from the two beautiful people who are @CampOutWest
    Along with @liveration For making my channel so popular. I thank you.
    If you wish to help me achieve Chickens - here is the Ko-Fi link: ko-fi.com/them... - there's no pressure at all and I will always keep my content free for everyone to view

    People are not happy to work like programmed robot slaves of the system but stuff that means nothing to create an illusion for the outside world....out of enptyness.
    Sad to see that a lot of people thinks happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society.....
    The more people around you, the more expectations, judge, comparing, hate, negativity, jealousy, double standards, violent, sneakyness, own benefits etc....reflection of their broken souls.
    Alone or in solitude you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time.....

    Hello Kevin my name is John Copse and me and my sister have been following you ever since livernation done the video with you about your lifestyle. We live in Cork Ireland and ever since we have been hooked to your channel. I have a brother too that loves your channel too. Both my sister and myself live with a load of animals including Jessie our jack russell, goats and hens. We also grow all our own vegetables and like you we hope to cut down in the reliance of processed food. From the first video that livernation done I could see your a truly amazing and honest man. And you have two beautiful girls that look out for you day after day. As they say Kevin there no better love than the love of a dog. I have seen your latest video on the monitization of your channel I think it's a wonderful idea and it's great that the girl that's helping you out as you refer to as the technical department she's steering you in the right direction. Kevin I hope to donate to help you get your chickens in the next week or so. Also from time to time I would like to pass on some of my ideas to you and so Kevin I wish you and your girls all the very best and I hope you're channel goes from strength to strength. May god bless and protect you and your girls every day. All the best Kevin John

    The uk cost of living and average lifestyle has become unsustainable for a lot more people than many might think.
    I’m sure I’m not the only one who is absolutely yearning to hear exactly how you have achieved your alternative lifestyle. What are all your tips and tricks?
    Here are some future video ideas: -What costs are involved for people looking to do something similar?
    -Were their UK legal hurdles and any advice on overcoming them?
    -What food did you start growing first?
    -What were some of the greatest challenges and positives so far? -Which food might be worth trying to grow even for someone living in a house to prepare them for an alternative lifestyle?
    -Did you transition to your land straight away or was it a gradual process?
    -How much building experience did you need and what advice would you give for someone looking to build your structures?
    -Video diaries are wonderful for following the overall story and short video ‘how-tos’ are immensely useful to help so many of us looking to achieve a more sustainable future.
    -please consider opening up your space for you to run skills workshops to teach even more people (you could even charge people for a workshop so your goal of getting chickens becomes a little easier too!!)
    Thank you ever so much for sharing your experiences. I think it’s pretty obvious the big appeal to your videos is you just being yourself and sharing your useful knowledge.
    All the best!!

We are stuck in a touring caravan whilst we get sorted. I have also found the offers of voluntary help overwhelming, but good people want to know they have made a difference for a positive reason.

    Connected with you on Kofi and will fund a chicken or two! I've had some donations on Kofi and tbh I also find it hard to deal with. I set up the page on Kofi as another way of someone finding my channel - never expected any donations at all. I like the straightforward nature of your channel and do have a similar aim of slowing life down and living differently in the near future after 30 odd years in a busy career. You certainly have the right approach and I really enjoy your videos!

    You are such a genuine and kind person, that comes across clearly in the videos. I imagine it feels strange, but you deserve every bit of it; I believe now you are an inspiration to many, hopefully, we'll see some chickens and goats in the near future. All the best!

    Top content as always. Keep it coming. Homestead life is busy busy- but it's so rewarding.
    My skill set has gone from practically zero to a multitude of abilities. Animal husbandry, crops, bread/beer/wine making, cheese and yoghurt making to name but a few. It's a great lifestyle- muddy and hard work, but great.

    Also - consider in the future channel memberships - you can do a live specifically for members once a week as a perk. I love being a member of some of my fav channels it is another way to support than watch the ads! Some channels run mini competitions for members and do live question and answers etc. worth thinking about in the future instead of the buy a coffee model :)

    Thank you Kevin for allowing us to come by and share a tiny part of your life. How many Chickens are you planning to get ? Hopefully you will be able to sell on fresh eggs to help make boost your funds? If you had a couple of female goats it would provide you with milk ? Don’t understand what good a male goat would do unless it’s for eating? Are ducks to messy ? Both Chickens and Ducks can eat any naughty pests on your veggies ? Ducks eggs are amazing for Cake Baking. Raising my mug of Lemon & Ginger Tea to your forthcoming Chickens and Summer 2015 with your two beautiful fur babies. God Bless & Take Care

    • @themanofthewoods
      @themanofthewoods  9 днів тому

      Thank you. My thoughts are possibly 6 hens for now. And may build ok on that once I have more confidence. And potentially a couple of goat's in the future. Not to sure on the duck's yet.

    Just found you, I too, love camp out west, now to go through your back catalogue! That was a struggle wasn't it. If it helps, there are very many people here on YT who want to support people in doing things they just either aren't brave enough to do themselves or just cannot do given their current circumstances. I know it grates against your principals but Ko-fi, Patreon whatever it is allows them to feel like they are helping someone do what they want to and to learn through you being brave in the now, for when their now comes (whether it does or not). Hope that made some sort of sense. Anyway, great video.

    I can highly recommend genuine Blackrock Chickens. Long living and highlybselected for free range living. A tight feathered breed. Only one person breeds them. He lives in Scotland but sends chicks down south to sell. I collected mine from Ludlow in Shropshire. Great birds. Good luck.

    I love it ask the girls for advice. On the positive point out of every negative there is a positive. Just be cautious of those who become inflamed with jealousy over your achievements. You are not alone with the technology I just press the keys and hope for the best. Chickens are wonderful, we had a cockerel in our village but people complained about him waking them up. I loved him. I hope you get support with this because of your humility.
