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!

One of the important things in my life is sharing with others. I had an over abundance of tomatoes and cucumbers in the garden this year. After sharing with family, I shared them with a local chef with an outdoor food stand. He in turn shared eggplant - an over abundance he had from his garden. I love making connections with people to share thoughts and ideas…and share the abundance from our gardens. It brings a smile to my face every time!

[@themanofthewoods]

Sounds great! And I feel you meet a better person this way.

[@9FatraBbits]

It IS important! I retired early for my health. I still had a small mortgage on a small cottage where I live and I knew I would have to be ruthlessly frugal. And I am and I’m ruthlessly happy and grateful.

[@themanofthewoods]

Your persistence in being frugal has paid off I feel. Mind your health and keep being happy.

[@landyboy7]

wise man...... wise words.... keep doing what you are doing.... much respect, please stay well

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you.

I spent 4 hours walking with my daughter who has come over France to see me we walked at Avebury stone circle and the weather was absolutely beautiful we walked barefoot in the grass ,so got some grounding in ,sending love and hugs for you and the girls ❤❤❤

[@themanofthewoods]

So pleased to hear you have had some quality time.

[@chrisp308]

When I was a teenager all I could think of is having the nicest things and making as much money as possible well after working and struggling to pay for a house that I couldn't afford for nearly a decade and then the 2008 housing crash and me loosing my first home and my first wife I had a bit of a change of attitude, I think what you are doing is the only logical answer for the vast majority of people today. 👍🏻🍻

[@themanofthewoods]

I also was guilty of the work hard and buy stuff regime. Took me many years to realise that it isn't really worth it.

[@graemesaunderson4218]

Nature itself is important and valuable, deceptively so .As without it we are nothing.Its more necessary than anything that can be bought ,and more beautiful.Mother nature is the best designer in the world.

[@themanofthewoods]

So very true, yet often neglected!

[@lucadoney687]

First time seeing your channel and really liked this video, such true words. As a 20 year old man I'm trying to strip back and begin to figure this all out, in doing so I've chucked out my iPhone and changed to a flip phone upon realizing what's truly important in life as you say. Cheers Kev! P.S. Love the sofa.

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you. Keeping life simple is a better choice i feel.

[@ameermark877]

Quite calming, & indeed we must sort out wat is important/ priority, it's easy 2 looze track now days smh.

[@themanofthewoods]

I fear this is the main issue in this modern world now?

[@Colinking2127]

I am busy down sizing my life. It means dealing with money 💰 😢. But this is so I can go in to van life where I just need enough money to get by.

[@themanofthewoods]

it is all about preparing yourself. you will enjoy van life.

[@adonique1481]

More than 25 percent of the seconds you get a day is spent on work, where you get paid for, where you get taxed on, where you have to buy food with, yet prices of food tend to rise faster than your salary. So the importance of your time devaluates over time. Make sure your job does not gain importance over time...

[@MsCaleb79]

I hope you drink tea at three, its a brittish tradition! Very important!

[@themanofthewoods]

Always tea in the afternoon.

[@thelandofmint]

No, instant coffee is NOT coffee, it's higly processed and very harming to your body. I live on no income, off grid and i will never be frugal when it comes to my health..i buy only good quality organic coffee and i use it carefully..my first cup in the morning with fresh raw organic milk from the farm near me..i sit with my books in my garden and enjoy my cup...please don't be frugal when it comes to food, buy organic or grow it yourself as i do...eat less but eat organic..as for the rest of stuff, I'm frugal..i never buy anything new, all my furniture in my small old stone house are old stuff..my clothes are old and tatty but i don't care..i live in the mountains far from cities and people..take care. Sue

[@themanofthewoods]

I truly loved reading your comment. An inspiring comment on many levels. I grow my own food as best I can and do eat a reasonably healthy diet, to which I keep working on.

[@joelbenedickter1484]

So wise and so true!. I feel exactly the same!. Bravo.

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you

[@DazzerP]

Thanks Kev 👍 have you considered using a Moka pot ? I've been using one for 4 months now, and it's the closest I can get to my old bean to cup coffee machine now that i'm living off grid

[@themanofthewoods]

Not thought of a Moka pot. Will look into it though. Thanks for the input.

[@leesamcauliffe7846]

Yeah totally agree with you. Simple pleasures.i grow all my own veg and love to share excess. In return this morning my lovely neighbour left me a pot of jam, went lovely with the bread I just took out of the oven. Lovely surprise. It's the little things....no fancy handbags or cars...mind u I love tractors haha keep well, maybe u could share some receipes .thank u from ireland 🇮🇪

[@themanofthewoods]

Wonderful! A kind act like that is so heart warming and actually gives so much pleasure.

[@michaelholt7963]

Did you hear about the magic tractor? It turned into a field

[@racketbuddy]

Hi Kev, when do you estimate your chickens will arrive?

[@themanofthewoods]

I am not sure yet. I have to get two trees down prior to the final positioning of the chicken run.

[@sqwidink1]

Plentey of rats around then! My neighbour has chickens absolute nightmare.

[@quailqueen6530]

I always lookout for your posts in hopes there is a new one to watch while i have my morning bulletproof coffee. Blessings from New Zealand.

[@themanofthewoods]

Thank you for your being a part of my channel. The morning coffee is like a ritual for us!

[@ilb735]

Omg that would be exhausting ( I'm not keen on shopping) 7:02

[@debbywilliams9172]

Wow what a lovely place to live wish I could

[@themanofthewoods]

It really is!

[@macfaichen2658]

[@ilb735]

Ect ect. Ect. (💝The King & I😂)

[@themanofthewoods]

[@the-nomad]

Damn Kev! Instant coffee??? I Feel for you bro' Ah, the old chestnut of bling, each to their own I can only think of their disappointment when they see someone with a newer version. Anyway, enjoy your coffee take care, stay safe mate. (Important to me just now is keeping the nags in their pen tonight so, it's another Nightshift on the edge of the field)

[@themanofthewoods]

Yep. that's pretty important as you don't be without your horse power.

[@IndigenousResistance192]

What happened to the chicken run Kev? Is it still up and waiting for chooks?

[@themanofthewoods]

The chicken run is still there and chicken's will come soon enough. Just had more important things to do first.

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Hello! My son loves a really strong cup of coffee and those coffee makers just don't cut it. He uses the french press and now he's a happy coffee drinker again! Nope! I've tried instant coffee and it's a no for me. I only buy what will be put to use and is truly needed. The french press was bought on sale and it was still a good design that will last for years to come. I try telling anyone who listens that they should store up their treasure in heaven because the treasures of this world are temporary.🙏

[@themanofthewoods]

Memories not materialism is the answer I feel. Love the fact you buy pre used stuff too!

[@macfaichen2658]

Bit of a marmite subject if you find it difficult looking within, but, nature animals and omelette with Camembert JUST cooked still runny, as I get older a relationship with Jesus has become important, not sure if it’s age related or times we’re living in related. Never been one for hoarding money, live in the moment and happily give my last quid to someone in need. Don’t hang with friends, they are there but not joined at the hip, music, peace… what’s important is an answer that changes daily… today it’s important I finish the psalms… I don’t know why but I’m going with it… have a fabulous evening one and all..🤍

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Amen! Our Savior gave up so much of his short life for us! The rich young ruler couldn't give up that money and to think Jesus (the Messiah) personally in the flesh told him to and he still couldn't do it. Money has a way of taking over your life!

[@1951JULY]

AMEN 🙌🙏 JESUS IF FIRST ! We are Soldiers of Jesus Christ we are just passing through, living and sharing the love of Jesus. Just give the money to those in need, nobody is taking there homes, cars and bank balances either them as they breathe there final breath and that is a fact. Coffee always been a black coffee no sugar but continue last bout of Covid cannot drink coffee at all I am just grateful for the savings on not ever buying coffee again 😊
