If you find this man ‘rare’....you are staying in the wrong places....90+% of the people you bump into are ‘ok’....they will not rob you or be aggressive.... One remark that struck me in this vid...’the more people live together the lonelier you are’....EXACTLY!!!....the city life makes one feel uncomfotable with strangers....and in the city there is ONLY strangers... I have lived and worked in many different places (I am Dutch but I lived and worked about 13 years abroad (European and African continent) If you’ld ask me.....life outside the city is always better:people are open to foreigners and will judge you after they met you....and if you happen to be a lazy lying cheat they will spit you OUT!!

I live in one of the largest cities in Florida. Rarely does anyone greet you as you go by. I have noticed that when I visited people in small towns in the south, people still wave as you drive by and say hi and look at you with a smile as they walk past. At first, it was a bit shocking, but as I got used to it, I loved it completely! ❤ Wonderful video, he has thought things through and his rig works well for him! Now it's time for that oven! 😅

[@Tiewaz]

This is definitely a vehicle for a single man who grew up where and when he had. When there was more 'industrial arts' taught in school so most people could be a 'jack of all trades' without needing to go to school for a specific trade. Everything is practical but he obviously enjoys it all just the way it is. I absolutely love it. I bet he'd be great to listen to the stories of things he's seen and done.

[@rorychivers8769]

They work really hard to sow that seed of doubt in your mind that you can't do things for yourself If you step back and look at the bigger picture, all we have really done is put knowledge and wisdom behind a paywall system, and you're not even a functioning member of society unless you have a degree in something

I love the concept of tiny homes, but I am a collector and crafter. This video shows me something I never considered to be possible..... that's doable in a tiny package. My daughter will like this concept too. While I want a stationary tiny home, she's looking for mobility. She's an artist, and wants to travel around to fairs and festivals selling custom art. This concept could WORK for her, only with paint, canvases, and wood burning equipment instead of tools.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

I'm the artist that sees a new media, gets a whole new idea, or simply a different way of how to do something & wants to start now...no THIS NOW... LOL... I used to sell art supplies so I have a better idea than most about what's available as far as fine art supplies are concerned. Still that is just part of the pieces to the puzzle of full spectrum art possibility. When Paul commented on wanting the sewing machine (a fancy one) I got it. I've wanted one also, but a simple one. The truth is there are not enough hours, days, weeks, lifetimes to do all of these things. I have to prioritize what it is I really feel called to do and do them. But a semi truck full of goodies brings a grin to my face.
