We Met The Man Who Lives In A Hut In The Woods - Off-Grid, Frugal & Simple Living

[@TESTA-CC]

This Man Is Exactly what the Government doesn't want you to become. Independent living off your own grown food, on your own land. Lives on his own solar power, soon to be hydropower aswell. He simply brought his land and lives as a free man, absolutely priceless.

[@bristolcommunityarts5332]

That's so very true and why they won't allow us to live on the land unless we have millions to pay for the privilege!

[@alanwann9318]

They will legislate this way of life un practable

[@DLC-sy7pp]

Not exactly true about costing millions, but the government doesn't want self sufficiency. ​@@bristolcommunityarts5332

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Yes I fear living off grid will be illegal in years to come as governments try to force us to comply and stay on grid. Sad…. Hats off to this guy, long may he enjoy his life.

[@alanwann9318]

There is a truth in recognising we dont need the crap fed to us by government media . In fact I suggest they fear we are waking up to their game .

[@Misty-gl8sw]

I live completely off grid. Honestly, been kinda down lately. Everyone calls me crazy and dumb for doing this. This man just reminded me, how truly blessed I am.

Don't worry be happy 😊

[@andydixon2980]

This a real man people. Self suffcient, self respect... having created his own happiness. Fairplay to him. Now I need to do the same...

Nothing about him doing these things makes him a real man. It makes him a good person.

@@ThatOneRump PERSON - Interpretation Act 1978, SCHEDULE 1, Words and Expressions Defined. “Person” includes a body of persons corporate or unincorporate. This can only mean a company or business, basically commercial. I would say from that legal interpretation he really is a ‘real man’ 😂😂😂

[@DanielLewis-ve1to]

Yes, this guy is living proof that you can just do what you want to do, live free and away from the fake world, loads of respect, and so much knowledge.

I think I just fell in love. What a wonderful real person. I love his ingenuity. And his truth❤❤❤❤

My girl's are rescues. I rescued the big one in june 2020 as she was rearing 11 pups on her own. All the pup's got homes and then in September of 2022 i took on the little one who needed rehoming. How could i refuse her the chance to be back with her mum who she hadn't seen for over 2 year's

[@keepitreal1547]

You have a big heart & lovely mind Kevin, long may your journey continue, you deserve every drop of it!❤

I totally get it , how often I take my lawn chair and sit by the lake or in the woods to listen to nature, and to appreciate the beauty of nature.. I always tell my children, we were meant to live off the land, which is working for ourselves, not stressing out over making money for someone else to get rich. and ... That's how you live your BEST LIFE. Thanks for sharing Kevin

[@livingadventures5623]

What a wonderfully rich life Kevin leads. He really does have it all (almost....I am sure a good woman is on her way to him). That aside, the planning laws and redistribution of land must be changed and implimented in the UK. Land ownership is out of reach for most people and corporate/historical titled and family possession is not fit for the 21st century. Many young and older people want to live in different ways and without access to European cheap land since Brexit, UK soil needs to be redistributed much more fairly and openly. Being free to build your own dwelling without all of the restrictions and planning barriers also needs to be rethought. Is there a movement in the UK to support/advocate for these changes?

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you for your kind words. I am not aware of any movement regarding land and i have had to fight like everyone else

As a f/t gardener, I have grown my own tobacco and once cured is amazing to smoke. No chemicals and you will lose the cough from tailor made cigs.

You, Kevin, are a breath of fresh air. If only the world had more people, like you, what a happier world this would be. You have the right attitude, do what you want, how you want. You don't have to impress you. You are wealthy, beyond means. You have your own land, you have smarts, you have personal ambition, you have creativity, you have shelter, grow your food, have two loyal companions...that's it. You have everything. Jesus was a simple man. He is blessing you. Keep your spirits up, love. You may stumble onto a God send...a simple, caring companion. Until that happens, you have enough. You are articulate which will get you far. God Bless you and, your beloved girls.❤ Heather Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

Hi Sarah, I just read your comment I’m working on a program with a partner to show people how to do this, but effectively you can start off with a minimum of 12.5 acres (5 ha) and you will be able to get the ball rolling if you have a mind to set up a small holding. there’s more to it than just that, but that is the starting point.
