    I found it was not until I got into my 50s that I realised you don't have to go to festivals, concerts, etc. to be happy . You just need peace, less stress, and a dog. Now, at 72 years of age , with the death of my wife, 2 years ago I am about to embark on another adventure, van life. I can't afford to buy land, so to escape the stress of the modern world, I intend to spend my 'twilight ' years in of grid van life. I always look forward to your videos, words of wisdom. Keep safe and keep well.

      My condolences for your loss. I feel we have to have these life experiences to allow us to find out the nature and peace is actually the best festival. The festival of life and with our k9 partners we live better. I was a van dweller for 13 year's prior to land life. You will enjoy the longest holiday of your life.

    Very interesting to be made to seriously think about what truly makes you happy. Dogs - definitely. They are loyal, they do not judge you, EVER and are pleased to see you however grumpy you are . For me gardening is another happy place. I love to help things grow. Being on a quiet beach in the sunshine is probably the 3rd. Nothing too tricky to obtain xxx stay happy

      Dogs will always be number one in my book. And as you say, it is the simple elements that are the best one's.

    You are my inspiration! I am retraining myself to slow down - leaning that it’s ok to say ‘no’ - spending more time learning about myself - listening to my inner thoughts and dreams and creating a new reality for myself. It continues to be a work in progress!

      You can do it! It will take time but worth the effort.

    Yes, you can....depend what the defenition of beiing happy is for every person cause everything is relativ
    People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things, party etc....that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society.
    If your happyness depend on extern factors, you will never be happy because extern factors are endless.
    Happyness starts inside you. Then you are everywhere happy.
    The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, double standards, own benefits, hate, judge, comparing etc..... reflection of their broken souls.
    Alone or in solitude you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time to reflect and work on yourself in the here and now where the magic happens.
    No, not feeling superior or better then others but more be carefully and aware.
    Be the light in your own life

      What a beautifully worded comment. Thank you, as you are bang on with your well written response. Part of the reason i did this video was to hopefully engage and also hopefully allow others to maybe think a little?

      Thank you. I do try to make my coffee with kev videos a more thought provoking than off grid. As my channel is hopefully about life in general and how my alternative choice of lifestyle can be a far better choice?

    Hey Kev! I’m loving your channel! I also want to live off-grid and am taking so much inspiration from your videos. Wishing you all the best! 💕

      Thank you. A lot of focus, research and saving will get you there, as it did for me. Frustrating when you feel you want it now? Yet the wait will be worth it!

    One thing that changed my life forever was finding a stray ferret,, he died but now I have 2 and I've never loved anything like this,, way beyond what I've ever felt for a human, apart from my son when he was a kid,, now I dispised him,, I see most humans as tractors to humanity. People who betray truth betray all of life on earth.. Animals don't do that..

      We can learn a lot from animals, for they do not know power and greed. We (i feel) are the new age rodents. Destroying all we can see!

      I am no fan of them either. I can not reason as to why i would want to waste my time. Yet i do put them up for those who do like them.
