Just a heads-up: I'm steering clear of talking about anything legal-related, like planning permissions. It's a bit out of my league, and every case is it's own story. Your best bet is to tap into the expertise of legal professionals. I'm all about keeping it honest and straightforward, but when it comes to legal matters, better safe than sorry, right? Let's keep the conversation flowing, but let's leave the legal talk to the pros!

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.

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!

[@themanofthewoods]

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

[@tonyloader9764]

I wish I could find land to live with my dog like YOU MATE, BRILLIANT VIDEO AGAIN THANKYOU.

[@themanofthewoods]

Glad you enjoyed it. Keep your dream alive.

[@jonathanmchugh5978]

Great video as always. Great life you are living there. Best of luck and keep the content coming.

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you! Will do!

[@mgrandy1o8]

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! 💕

[@themanofthewoods]

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!

[@mariaharding5998]

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

[@themanofthewoods]

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

[@jacksg1809]

Not stupid at all Kev mine have a stressless life unlike their previous time . They love us for it . They love unconditionally. We both have created a life for ourselves that now suits us . Thank goodness it was possible .❤

[@themanofthewoods]

I second that! especially the fact we are fortunate to make it possible.

[@ilb735]

True happiness comes from within🥰👍🏼

[@themanofthewoods]

100% yes!

[@IndigenousResistance192]

My life is around my dog too kev and it’s not a stupid reason my friend. You can always rely on your dogs to be your rock

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you. As you say, you can always rely on a dog.

[@Sue-jd7cl]

Happiness is a state of mind as you already know my friend

[@themanofthewoods]

A true comment. Thank you

[@paulroberts5695]

Yes because it's the way you want to live, I wish I could but circumstances dictates how I live ,I don't follow the masses and to a degree live a fairly simple life ,drive a old 4x4 have a wonderfully crazy staffie love my log burners and my allotment.

[@themanofthewoods]

The simple life is by far the best life i feel!

[@chirovandenbos2339]

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

[@themanofthewoods]

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?

[@ilb735]

💞👍🏼

[@suzie5772]

There are no stupid reasons for doing what makes you happy ❤ Your videos are always thought provoking, thank you.

[@themanofthewoods]

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?

[@alienscientist8893]

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..

[@themanofthewoods]

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!

[@chrisp308]

Howdy I just found out about your channel from that liver whatever channel anyway you got another subscriber and y'all have a wonderful day and a better tomorrow, y'all hold it down over yander 🍻 from South Carolina.👍🏻

[@leekent3325]

[@themanofthewoods]

True word's!

[@kazlee9213]

I never watch the shorts, not for me

[@themanofthewoods]

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.
