[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

The big problem seems to be the governments and financial elites control and exploitation. Things could be a lot simpler while still maintaining a lot of the comforts and conveniences of our modern world if the majority of people were not spending their whole life chasing a penny to make someone else a dollar while those who have the dollars are exploiting everything they can to get more. Essentially we need a more egalitarian naturalist society.

I am 33 years old, and finally paid off all my debt. Debt from over a decade of trying as hard as I could to be "normal" and be a part of this insatiable consumer world. I gave up last year. I finally got sober, I relocated, I downsized. I own nothing of value now. I am saving money to buy the least expensive house possible in the country and I will re-align my working life to better fit a life of societal rejection. I will no longer live the rat race. Over half my life spent trying to please others, making choices and decision to appease others. All vanity.

I’m nearing retirement myself, and I had similar concerns. I started investing much later than most, and just relying on ETF compounding wasn’t cutting it for me.

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution 1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less. We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only. If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced. If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour. 2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops. But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads. So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world. Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home. Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems. If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world. Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming. Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future. 3. Electricity Pollution We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur. As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated. 4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped. For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime. 5. How Much Should Be The World's Population Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population. Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

[@renevdfvries2148]

Hi Aubrey.. Hi "Verdant Vanilla". I just felt I wanted to point out to you both that the financial system is not broken, in any way. It is purposely designed to do what it does, and it does it very effectively.. The entire "financial" system is a 100% fraud and crime. It is a debt based system of counterfeiting "money", which is no money. Only silver and gold are money, and they have been the only money for many thousands of years. The "money" that all people are made to slave their lives away for, is counterfeit fiat currency. Fiat currency is no money, but so long as the global populace continues to believe it is money, so long will the global populace continue to sacrifice their time, their energy, and their freedom, their and each other's entire lives, for it. As I said, all fiat currencies are counterfeited by the globalist cabal central banking mafia, and their "governments". This the slight of hand through which the privately owned central banking mafia, creates "National debts". The privately owned Rothschild & cronies central banking syndicate counterfeits the numbers, which are then swapped with the "governments", that they fund and control, and through this method of slight of hand all the counterfeit fiat currency becomes national debt. Now the "governments" can tax all peoples for repayment of the "national" debts, but obviously these debts can never be repaid, without creating more "national" debts in the process, for, after all, ALL fiat currency is counterfeit out of thin air, for free and out of nothing, as debts to the people. The only way for this swindle and crime to end, is for all people around the world to recognize the fraud that they themselves commit on themselves and on each other, and to stop doing it any further. There's a lot more to tell, but I must stop myself from writing a book here..

It's hard to make it in life. We were promised nothing, and the reality is that there is no calvary coming to save us. I'm 71, have lived what I consider an amazing life, but have still had to work very hard every day since I was 13. If there were no evil government monetary system, we would still have to work hard every day to survive, having to do things we do not enjoy or believe fulfilling, to simply stay alive each day. I understand where you are coming from. I'm a creative as well. But that creativity needs to result in tangible things that have value to others, as well as being fulfilling to us.

Those who live the rat race have similar feelings, thoughts, scares and experiences. We're human. We're not free in this world, only, and sometimes, in the mind. It's all about balance. Work parttime, do what you love in the other hours, passion projects. Work 6 months on & off & travel. Work full-time and go somewhere every other weekend. We can always change things up. It's our lives, nothing is permanent. We all have to put in some type of effort to sustain a living, for ourselves, our family, for society- our neighbours. It's up to you to balance it out.

Hello, I started over at your age with my 13 yr. old son. I bought an old 1969 mobile home that had been empty for 3 years. I paid 20,000 cash. Basically all I had. We did what we could and now 12 years later I have my tiny dream home. I have a cute little yard and a deck. I grow veggies in the summer. I do live in a town but close to the center so not in woods BUT my yard is my oasis and my cost of living is super low. I can live on 1000.00 a month. My son is now grown and bought a home 2 mobiles down from me along with 2 more of my children (I have 7 all grown) So now we have 4 homes in this park and I am now President of the park! Never give up. I didn't and I am so happy my hard work paid off. I sell paintings, restore dolls and worked as a nanny in the Indian community for 25 years. Now I am retired. Best of luck to you :)

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution 1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less. We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only. If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced. If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour. 2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops. But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads. So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world. Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home. Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems. If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world. Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming. Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future. 3. Electricity Pollution We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur. As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated. 4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped. For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime. 5. How Much Should Be The World's Population Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population. Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

I tried moving out west in the United States to try to see if I could living off the grid for a while. I did a lot of hiking and forestry and I realized just how difficult it can be to survive in environments that are not developed. I think what’s important is that you embrace the learning experiences you have when you’re young so you can appreciate the quality of life you have when you’re older. The modern world world is many things, but it isn’t all bad. I think the more I denied myself modern amenities the more I understood the concept of gratitude on a deeper level. To come home from 9 days in the wilderness and flick on a light switch and sleep in a bed was a blessing.

[@cameronf3343]

Off the grid doesn’t mean without amenities. Off the grid means without utility-supplied amenities. Electricity from batteries and on-site renewables. Heat from firewood. Water from a well and rainwater harvester. Sewage from a septic system or even a composting/incinerating toilet. And now, thanks to LEO constellations, quality internet from a satellite is feasible to be the only utility-supplied amenity and keep yourself fully connected. None of these are impossible, and none of them are too much to ask for. My grandparents have been doing all of that, minus the electricity which is provided by the utility service, for decades. My family’s been the same way for 8 years now. We have well water on a very good vein, and it’s so purely filtered from all the crud I can’t drink City water anymore. We have septic that gets drained as needed just fine. We have a TV, we have entertainment and plenty of stuff to do. These lifestyles are often even more enjoyable than typical “modern” life. Wake up, get ready, go to work, go home, do either nothing or errands for 6 hours from M-F, and then do stuff on the weekend. That’s it. Off grid, you may do the same, but, if you’re savvy enough you can afford it just fine on a part time job and then maybe have a side income or a few. You have game nights with family regularly, you eat together at the table, you have engaging chores that you reap the rewards of and can hold in your hand. I promise it’s better. I’m working on moving to a city, but solely for the economy opportunities. I just want to save a bunch of money to put a great down payment on a great piece of mountain acreage. But believe that I’ll always be a forest man, and I love that.

It's difficult to live in woods. We always see more butter in others' plate. Life can be whole lot easy in cities too if we had a good start early with good financial education. Although the peace of mind depends upon your mentality and thought process too. You may live in woods and not happy at all. You may live in city and you can be the most happiest person. It's combination of perspective, knowledge, education, thought process, experiences, bank balance, life goals, career goals, support system (family+society) etc. Sometimes loneliness force you to overthink and take incompetent decisions while the situation would have completely different if you get a life partner to trust upon and work together, share problems, happiness, pains etc. Life in woods is as difficult as in cities.

If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur. As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated. 4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped. For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime. 5. How Much Should Be The World's Population Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population. Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

I believe this life was designed for hardship in order to teach us the values of what really matters. One thing is for certain and that is that there is not one human being on this planet that lives a life without struggling. It is those very struggles that make us stronger and more capable of dealing with life. We can teach others what we have learned if we are not self focused. There is much peace in not focusing on ourselves only. God bless you child.

My biggest tip is when you notice yourself starting to stress about money, take that as the Universe tapping your leg and reminding you to come back to an energy of ease, gratitude and surrender, the exact way you would feel if you had financial freedom. By dropping into that felt sense of ease, money has flowed to me over and over from unexpected places. I do not bother much with thinking about the when, where or how, just the feeling of knowing all is well and everything will be provided for.

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution 1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less. We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only. If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced. If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour. 2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops. But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads. So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world. Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home. Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems. If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world. Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.

Feeding consciously the timeline where I’m able to go 100% off the grid and meet with other likeminded people and we share and live in harmony while staying individually full filled and self-expressed (cause also the tribe thing can be very imbalanced and make people lose individual identity into the group for the sake of resources so we gotta be mindful of that, too) 🍀✨

Everyone needs to pressure the government to guarantee healthcare for all. It makes such a difference in quality of life even if you don't have any illness. The peace of mind to know that you won't be saddled with unpayable debt if you or a member of your family gets sick. The US is way behind other nations in the world in this respect.

I often imagine groups of 10, 20, 50 people coming together buying land and living on self sufficient little communities all around the world. People struggle alone. Not only to physically survive, but most of all also mentally and emotionally, with all the stress and anxiety that a big change comes with. Becoming totally self-conscious, self-aware, self-reliant and self-sufficient is a really hard and challenging thing to do. Specially if you do it all alone. People are not alone in their struggles. There are millions of people around the world going through the same pain, the same heartache, feeling as lost and broken as anybody can be. People should come together and help build each other up, support each other, care for one another. This is what life is all about!

If less electricity required, then less pollution generated. 4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped. For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime. 5. How Much Should Be The World's Population Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population. Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

Congrats man, it’s sad that in America we have to constantly play the game for years just for the ability to save up for the chance to detach from society

[@patrickmccormick8689]

Thank you for sharing your story!!! I'm struggling with the same feelings, making the leap from the 9-5 life and chasing a dream to be more free. I'm inspired to go forward!

[@VerdantVanille]

Freedom, the oxygen of the soul. I’m sending lots of light to you Patrick.

[@annamarieliaz6456]

Me as well, in here

[@piamadison5539]

Good luck. You can do it.

[@angelopeiris]

Hi Verdant, hope you’re doing well. I was just looking for village life videos on KZbin and randomly came across yours and I’m glad I found your channel. I will be binge watching all your videos now haha. My dream is to one day move out to country side and live off grid in the nature and with animals just like this✨

[@VerdantVanille]

Oh wooww!! Thank you SO MUCH for this gift Angelo! I really hope you will soon find your hidden place, just believe it's possible and never give up ♡

[@Rhenadhis]

This is exactly what i needed; a perfectionist, broke, depressed and anxious woman tyring to rebuild my life. Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to see you grow like Jonna Jinton and Kalle Floddin have. Check out their youtube channels if you haven't already

[@VerdantVanille]

Your comment cracked me up! haha! I'm really glad my video could inspire you, and hopefully I will grow a little more yes :D Thank you so much for sharing ♡

[@michaelmcdermott6054]

I follow Jinton ...real inspiration

[@livingmy2.0]

Sending you so much positive vibes 💛

[@zonderbaar]

Jonna has tons of family support, is a gifted photographer and works a lot

[@henrietteenge]

@@zonderbaar Also scandinavian, we are very priveliged.

[@ivanhoe6145]

You have already done the most difficult part of your journey, that of making the decision to be on your own and living your life on your own terms. Only a handful of brave ones can do that and you are already there. You are going to be fine. All the best to you.

[@VerdantVanille]

You words bring me hope, dear one ♡

[@lisakukla459]

I relate to this so much. Very similar story. I have a plaque on my wall that reminds me, "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." You are right - each time I've been faced with something I thought I was not capable of finding my way through, I've somehow managed every time, and I always come out stronger and better equipped for the next thing. Difficult circumstances aren't terrifying anymore like they used to be, because I know, after all I've endured, I *can and will* see myself through it. Those previous experiences have taught me to be better prepared, also, whether it means having contingency plans, knowing how to avoid a crisis, or simply having the right supplies. 💚 Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@VerdantVanille]

So beautifully well-written words Lisa. You indeed, are a strong woman. And you understood things most people won't even think in their entire lifetime. Keep shinning Lisa, you're doing wonderful ♡

[@alainadacosta1222]

So many parts of this video spoke to me. I have been feeling a desire to live in nature and peace. I thought it's funny you mentioned the nun part as I don't think the religious life is for me but I've felt a desire to be away from the world and my heart be centered on God. I've been experiencing imposter syndrome too, especially as I near graduation and prepare to go into my field. What you said about a positive outcome meant a lot. Thank you for this video, I think I was meant to watch this ❤

[@SuperBotanica]

before you start such a dream life, you have to work hard and save money for a few years. you also need a side income, even if you want to live independently off grid. health insurance, car, maintenance costs, etc. must be paid. now you've seen how quickly savings vanish

[@VerdantVanille]

They do vanish in a split second. Here are some true statements Barbara!

[@egillskallagrimssonberserk1671]

You can do anything you want in life. It’s entirely up to you to push and strive towards your ideal lifestyle it will never be handed to you.

[@williamclark1244]

The timing of this video was perfect. It resonated with how I've been feeling lately. Thank you for sharing this. I wish you much success.

[@VerdantVanille]

I'm beyond glad you could identify to my journey William. You will rise, and you will succeed, I know it. I'm sending plenty of light on your way ♡

[@Specialworldofmine]

Living such a beautiful life needs lots of courage especially while you are in a very strict social environment 😢

[@kimberleythorsen8384]

I feel everything you said, even down to your goals. I've always been told I'm a healer, but I haven't found the opportunity to heal myself or at least find security, and I won't unless things change fast. It's not fair the elite exploit us so badly. Taxation is THEFT. It's our birthright to be able to live on this planet in harmony with nature. Humans are blamed for destroying the planet but it's the corporations and industrialization, driving on non-human archonic forces. I just want to find a hollow tree to live in near water and forage food, lol. But I'm afraid that's not an option right now, it would be giving up on everyone else. I hope we can all find the peace and freedom we deserve 💗

[@Freespiritedqueen]

I can relate sister, wish you lived close.

[@ypey1]

All the things you mention that destroy the world are human inventions. So it is humans destroying the world in this logic. Also the ideal world you describe is not possible with a population of 8 billion (or maybe only for a few privileged people). You need intense industrialization and specialization to support this large population.

[@tantricthread4351]

I'm a healer too. It's difficult to heal yourself because most of us are highly empathetic to others more than ourselves. Heal others and that is how you also heal. Blessed.

[@SamuelGriffin]

even if you pay off a house here or own land, you will always owe this corrupt government Taxes. You never truly own anything. Progressives/Liberals always want to strengthen the Federal Government and increase taxes. They are the reason nobody can live free. They always make everyone else pay for others through high taxes.

[@DAVID.PRINCIPE.DURAN.]

Endika drame is an spanish healear that share some knowlegde, but he also do curses, if you have the money, that is no too much, im sure you will learn

[@denity2006]

I think it's important to find a group of like-minded hard working people who are willing to help make this type of life work. There are lots of people who think they want to live this way till they find out its all physically hard work. You have to cook,garden,chop wood,hunt and build.

[@GhostSamaritan]

Are you saying I won't have to spend an hour a day at an overcrowded gym and I get to fully reap the rewards of my hard work instead of having middlemen take cuts? Sounds awesome!

[@lisawanderess]

What a beautiful video! You are very talented! It took a crippling illness and becoming homeless to make me finally turn away from society to live a stress-free life of FREEDOM. It’s been an adjustment and not always easy, but I’ve now been living full time in my tiny caravan for 3 years and as time goes on, I am realizing what initially seemed like so much loss has actually turned into the greatest gift. We ARE enough! Thank you for your inspiring message and best of luck in your healing ventures! 💗

[@VerdantVanille]

Lisa, it brings joy to my heart to read your story. There always is a light shining somewhere and it is good to be reminded of that. Thank you, with all my heart ♡

[@upasanasarma111]

You are amidst the abundance of Nature. As a city dweller myself I value rural living. I miss the connection with Mother Nature. Sometimes I feel I am floating in the air the majority of my time which is reducing touch with the earth.

[@andrasilvas7023]

So beautiful, so raw! Most people that are here resonate with you, I am sure, and finding your content is like a gem. People will keep coming and soon enough you will be truly financially free!

[@theirishoutdoorcook1207]

I agree.

[@VerdantVanille]

Andra, your words are going straight into my heart. It's giving me so much hope and joy for what lies ahead. Take care of your kind soul ♡

[@AJ-oc5eh]

This video is a work of art. From the cinematography, to her words, the soundscape, and the space in between. Would love to pen pal this person to talk about writing her book. This is a model of the future for those who refuse to live inside the iron grid.

[@VerdantVanille]

Wow. THANK YOU.

[@SolaScriptura-n-cats]

I’m so glad I found you. You share so many of my same sentiments, same gifts, same desires for life. I want what you have, not in an envious way, but my heart yearns for things I’ve seen you and many others have accomplished. I am 54 yo and honestly feel I’ve done nothing with my life. I know that I’m literally here to bring healing to others, though still seeking my niche, my outlet, where I can best be used by God. I look forward to this journey. It’s absolutely terrifying.

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

❤❤❤ I admire your dedication. To live free and b free . Life doesn’t have to b complicated! Simple life ❤.

[@LittleSpanishFarmstead]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen and I'm so glad youtube recommended it to me! This is such a beautifully crafted and thoughtful video and I am looking forward to watching all your others. Thank you for sharing your journey! 💚
