In humans defence though, they have been traumatised, especially during WWII, then had food shortages, etc, and then were conditioned to follow their wants, rather than their needs, once everything was plentiful again.
I think it ramped up after WW2. All that austerity & rationing, people wanted to enjoy life again. The advertising, the new gadgets, more jobs & income, it just kept on spiralling along with personal debt. 9/11 slowed things down so we are terrorised ever since with rogue leaders, banksters, bad laws, tech & cameras. Our royals have failed in their duty along the way and getting worse. People lost their God and loved money instead. The silent majority with common sense have left it too late, we're in new territory, I predict it hits the fan next April with a recession & inflation going up again. Starting to gather stuff to prepare for this, it's not the retirement I thought I'd have but mustn't grumble. We need to see the corrupt rounded up so we can have a better life, 2024 is going to be an important year for push back I think.
You are both good souls, and those who are aware of your channels will appreciate this greatly. There is so much fakery around but your monologues and discussions prove (from the number of comments) that there are so many who are on the same wavelength. Keep the vibrations high! ❤
You're on it Richard. We all have the power to be the change we want to see. Start growing your own food as much as possible and learn new skills. Start to build up your local network of like minded people. Support local businesses and people and use cash to do it 👍. Make the globalist agenda irrelevant in our lives. If you don't recognise the cause it has no effect. You can do it 💪 ✨️ all of you ❤don't live in a spirit of fear, and the rest will fall into place ✨️ 😊
Well said. We have found living this way a lonely road, however. We have far fewer friends than we used to have. People really do prefer shop bought veg and fruit to the nibbled muddy homegrown alternative. I wouldn't swap my life for any other.
I Moved to Southern Spain 23 years ago. Keep chickens and grow veggies. Looking at keeping bees next year. I sadly lost my husband 15 years ago. Our son left home and is working in the UK 2 years ago. I sometimes feel lonely but having volunteers stay helps alot. I stopped watching the news many years ago. I try to live in the here and now.
Hi Richard and Julia, In the future could you consider interviewing local folk in your area. People engaging in old trades, hobbies and pastimes in the country.. Get them talking about the old ways, their thoughts about the future, etc?
Talk to the oldest people in the area. I'm 70, moved into town when I was young as it was cheaper and the work was there. But I remember where the well was and the area had lots of springs. The area next door almost was called Springfields but was built on, as was everywhere. But the water is still there. In winter my dad would dig out an area at the bottom of the garden to show a stream running across it. But since then the house and garden has been badly changed. All the apple trees my grandmother planted have gone. My dad's greenhouses are gone. The hen house had gone. The pig sties have gone. Since forever I have yearned to get back that rural living but don't have that level of resources. I have to work still and can't find a way out. But I still have the wringer and plunger for hand washing. And the rest.
Love listening to your videos Richard. I'm lucky enough to have moved from south London to Kent. Beautiful countryside with woods all around me. I process my own wood from fallen trees and season in a wood store made of old pallets. Life is so much more relaxing surrounded by nature. You get a feeling of the change of seasons. Keep doing what you do my friend 👏
I’ve given up on the next generation Stuck to their Ibones designer labels False icons and how many selfies they can get likes on Let’s do us our generation
Absolutely right. You can't escape it totally, but I have not read a newspaper, or watched the news for over ten years. I live each day doing what makes me and my loved ones happy and finding new interests. Spending time walking in the countryside, none of the negative criteria of the media exists there. I'm aware of the current issues, but they come and go, because I don't spend my days constantly worrying about things I have no control over, and therefore it has little control over me. Life is for living and enjoying, and showing kindness towards others.
Like you Richard I have no central heating and rely on my stove to keep warm. There is something so gratifying going out and getting wood from the country side and being given wood to burn. It is the connection that is so important for our mental health and wellbeing. I think when you have been brought up this way it's something that is ingrained into your DNA 😊 thankyou for all that you do ❤
Good morning. I too used to gather wood for a pot belly stove,feels so nice because it's free from mother nature.The very thing government doesn't want😅
I did this about fifteen years ago. I now live down a long drive with no neighbours . I burn coal... have an AGA... drive a classic car. Do my own radio, switched off the telly about fifteen years ago (most important - first thingt.. Its how they deliver the Toxin) have a delightful garden. YOU can do this. Rest of Britain.: You had your warning, the consequences are now at hand. YOUR job is to not have consequences you don't deserve. Good Luck. It just takes courage and effort
Amen to that. I’m all for the old ways of life. Got an allotment last year and grow my own veg, potatoes etc. I don’t take any notice of the clowns in Westminster and won’t comply. Takes away their power, which I have noticed is weakening. We the people are waking up to the scams.
I did that, it took me years, I lived in a caravan at first next to a field and mountains and was given my first log stove...and a gas cooker. I had nothing absalutely nothing except a little bit of money from the DSS, my children, and nature outside my door....but when we had our simple meal and a cuppa, we/I would watch this beautiful stalion gallop from one side of the field to the other, he did that every day and now and then a spark would shoot out from his hoof/shoe. How about that for a memory that my children will also I hope remember ps. It was no way easy but I was happy with what I had at the time . I have my fire place now with my logs and near the forrest and mountains all simple living etc,,,,, SHHHHhhh..... : )
Richard, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I decided years ago to move off grid to a small farm so I could live a more independent life. One item that I feel is important is the Aladdin kerosene lamp with the center draft and glass shade. It can produce as much light as a 40 to 60 watt incandescent light bulb. It also is a good source of heat as well. I have a couple that hang from the ceiling and several that sit on the tables. You can find them second hand in good repair for a fair price. If you don't have any I would suggest that you investigate getting a few. There are several videos on RUclips. Best wishes. 🤗 🎄
In my last house there was no central heating, all I had was a Rayburn and a open fireplace, I loved keeping it going right through the winter I would leave all the doors open so it would warm up the house right through.
I’ve got a wood fire and I love finding and collecting wood and chopping it and the whole process. It’s great seeing you do it and enjoy the process too. There’s a big tree come down near me … I’ll use that and the leaves as kindling. Yeah chop wood, carry water..
Had a 35 acre homestead for 11 yrs in Canada. In my 30s. I’m 59 now and wouldn’t want to have to do the work required to be almost self sufficient at my age now. Unless you have lots of money to buy or get things done,it’s a hell of a lot of work to supply most of your needs.
Use it or lose it..! I'm in my mid-70's, and am trying, with some success, to regain my physical well-being(Cycling/Walking); which after years of MINIMAL usage, thanks to modern "Conveniences" (Car, Supermarket Food), had seriously declined..BUT what I didn't realise is, the hidden decline of the Kidneys, cardio vascular system, etc which get worse year by year..! thanks again Richard..
Yes, my grandparents too.The farm was a hard working one. To have it all running well shaved years off their lives and impacted health in the form of 24 hour 7 day a week work, worry about lack of income security and stress. They both worked on the farm and in other jobs for years to make ends meet. Rain, hail or shine as they say. No sick days. No vacations. Richard does have a level of nostalgic romanticism which all of us have when we are in love with the fantasy of achieving a dream or a life we yearn for. I hope he realises his and finds true happiness because you need it. The reality is a hard slog. And rarely does everything go smoothly. 'Bad' years on the farm, animals needing costly vets, crops failing due to things beyond your control, bouts of ill physical and mental health which drain resources and time, and the sheer cost of maintaining it all.The utopian idea of a quaint house in country on a farm sounds and is lovely, and so is the idea of communal village life. Realities of that are also not ideal. Not everyone gets along and things do not magically and symbiotically work together in these communities. Adults may choose to live this way but kids often resent being in isolated communities and longing for city life and anonymity to embrace the people they need or wish to become in life. The realities are harsh. Alcoholism and abuse is very real. So too is depression and suicide in farming communities such as here in Australia where life is harsh and can be far from quaint and drought and devastation for a decade or more with no rain is the norm. Small towns lack infrastructure. Limited medical and educational access. And other resources scarce. Things regular people in cities take for granted. Hundreds of kilometres driven to nearest bigger towns to have to go and buy things you can't go and make or buy or trade from the happy producing neighbours over the knoll. I wish him every happiness in manifesting the dream. I'm not being negative. Merely broader minded in a different experience of life both past and present. Large cities are also trying to bring in community gardens and positive spaces for it's people. In Hong Kong for example, where land is not accessible for all. Greening and harmonising of urban spaces has improved the environment and the quality of life for the residents who have no option but to live where they do. We make the best of what we have how we can. Most of us dream of a better and different future. Whatever that is to you, good luck in your quest for finding it.
Say it out loud Richard. I started telling people I was moving to Myrtle Beach. Within 2 years I lived in Myrtle Beach. I started using this, speaking to the universe 27 years ago. I was watching a French actor being interviewed. When asked how he became an actor. He replied, I told people for ten years that I was an actor, and I became an actor. That was all I needed to hear. Been using it for 25 years, works every time. I now live on 12 acres in the middle of nowhere, because God led me here. Try it, what have you got to lose? Say it out loud. Good Luck Richard and Julia.
I really enjoy your content Richard, I think the World seems a bit ‘Weird’ right now and it’s great to know that I’m not alone with those feelings, providing a platform for discussing our troubles doesn’t necessarily mean that everything that is discussed is the actual solution, it’s just someone’s ‘angle’ on what might be upsetting us…discussing our worries helps offload the baggage, the stress and ‘brainstorming’ might not seem the safest option it illustrates how frustrated parts of the population are becoming, discussions are necessary to generate ideas, ideas help create solutions or compromises that lead to solutions, I sincerely thank you for your efforts and agree that we can’t ’Stop’ living and ‘Enjoying’ what we have by concentrating on the distractions that are being pushed out in the ‘Propaganda’, it’s the Devil that tries to divide, divide and conquer, we definitely need to appreciate and enjoy what God has given us…maybe that’s the purpose of those that try to distract us? I hope you can spend more time doing what you enjoy what you appreciate isn’t that how life is meant to be or should be? Enjoy Richard, You deserve it..! 😇
With you 100% mate. I feel exactly the same way. We can't afford to move to a country home, but we already live in a small semi rural village with a woodburner etc. And like you enjoy our campervan and get into the dales etc as much as possible. Good luck to you Richard...life has been on hold for 3 years it seems and we've all been waiting for more bad news or a saviour to save us all. It starts with us, one by one living out best lives in spite of their evil plans. We win by living our way and saying No to theirs.
I suspect many people have one of those old supermarket wire shopping baskets lying around . They are very useful but can’t quite remember how or when , they acquired it . 😊
Hi Richard, I noticed the cut tree stumps. A neato thing you can shellack or bees wax the stumps with a little top sanding and level base. You get a beautiful effect of the natural wood rings and it makes a lovely table. Have a good weekend and thank you for your show.
This is how we need to live Richard vi do the same I have a lovely wood stove with a top oven it came from Bulgaria our friend brought it over and fitted it and there's no way I will stop using it Happy wood collecting lots of love to you both ❤
We have allowed our lives to be made too complicated. When I was growing up, we had nothing. No fridges, no central heating, no washing machine, no bathroom, etc, and the toilet was across the communal yard. We had coal fires and a Yorkshire Range. We had a shovel to dig a way out of the snow that piled to the top of the door in winter so we could get to school. Hot ashes were used to make icy paths safe. Taps had to be thawed out,I say taps but in reality every house had only one, it was halfway up the wall and above the butler sink. There were only two rooms, the front room and the kitchen. Gas lighting had just been replaced by electric light, but it had to be used sparingly. I believe that the time has come, to cast off all the electrical devices that have been turned into weapons for the tyrants to use against us. If we chuck it all in the bin these bastards will see their world collapse. They are no more than thieves and liars.
Yes charming and interesting. So many subjects I can't keep up with all .No gloom no doom just living life .While enquiring into the universe using what is available..They talk of going back but realy It is about applying things here and now in the present .Carrying things forward into the future the things that hold value at any time of day .Placing quality over quantity 👌. Best wishes to all 🌹
Thank you Richard for your wonderful videos, because I have known the truth for a long time, and it’s wonderful to hear someone else who is awake and finally talking about the reality that we have been lied to our whole lives. No one is awake in my street in Retford notts. Sadly some have been injured by the jab
Best Regards to you Richard and the Lovely Julia. What a lovely English couple and I love your "accents" from South Carolina. Excellent. Best I have heard!
Thank you Richard. ...I am so glad that i had a wood burner installed two years ago...i love it, its the heart of my home... I often go to the woods and pick up all the twigs, they make great kindling....together we will win this...
This is what I like about you Richard you're not a doom and gloom merchant you have solutions I've had to unfollow from a lot of the prepper RUclipsrs because all they were was negativity
Hi Richard, I like the cut of your Gib, I like you are living through the solutions ( as I did during the lockdown). I only work 6 months of the year and tailor my resources to my needs. The greatest gift is that most the joy we experience cost very little ... the sun m, reading, spending time with family, friends and animals. The good life is what brings you joy.
Waste oil heater provided 80K BTUs-what an experience. Catalytic converter on the fireplace, too,so 80% of the heat didn’t go up the chimney. Had to pay for the electricity poles before the county would run the lines. Dug the water well by hand. What fun.🎶🎯💥🌸
Moved from English Suburbs to rural in 1983. Learnt self sufficiency to a grrat extent.... moved in 1996 to 170 acres of rainforest and a leaky caravan, then in 2003 to fiji rural lot. Ive never looked back, love living close to nature and having bees, chickens and my own fruit. Latest project is a large pond. Its all a wonderful learnkng process. Cant speak more highly of living a simple, connected to nature and locals, life ❤
Simply Brilliant Chat! Lovely, everything you said absolutely resonates with me! Those ways was and still are THE Best! My late Mother would always get up and have a roaring fire going early in the morning early 80s. How much simpler it was, even Cooking on the adjoining stove! The water got that hot she had to run it off! None of that on these combi boiler/ gas eating things. No wonder the likes of BG are clapping their hands with colossal profits since they invented the thing 3 years ago! Loved your chat! Takes me back. Cheers... have a wonderful Christmas...
I wish you and Julia every success in your venture, Richard. You've been a shining light in my life and opened my eyes to so much, and I've been down the rabbit holes with you. You deserve your dream, and I hope it brings you the happiness you both deserve. 🙏
I wish you luck in your new life and I look forward to seeing you working your own patch of soil and harvesting the fruits of the land , don’t leave it to long though because time flies and the work is enjoyable but heavy…Oh I forgot to add get a compost heap going as soon as you can it works wonders with the soil after a couple of years .
Thank you Richard. I was thinking along similar lines myself. I spend so much time keeping up with what's going on, that I forget to make changes in my own life for the future. I am 13 years older than you and not sure I want to make a big move like yourself. But I do need to keep my life fresh with new experiences. I am not yet ready to be put out to grass, a few tweaks here and there would give me a sense of purpose. It's a matter of balance I think. Doom and gloom is bad for anybody, there has to be some pockets of laughter and fun. Best wishes. ilona
Richard my dear you are a true credit to us all thank you for everything you have done are doing and will do to open the eyes of the fearful and poor people who are still unable to find the strength to stand strong in their true beliefs ❤❤❤
Best wishes for your plans Richard, fully understand the sense of getting away from it all. I moved out of the suburbs for the countryside and it has been the best thing I've done. Farm fresh eggs, veggies, country shows, long walks and fresher air. There are some little considerations, shops & petrol stations further away, more noisy tractor traffic, but I'm enjoying more of the community spirit. The overlords can't take that away from us.
Hi Richard I always appreciate your honest and brave videos - I know just what you mean about going out, sorting the logs to bring in or cutting up some more, and then enjoying the log fire. It does make one feel at one with nature, the rhythm of the seasons and holding on to our human past of ‘ man makes fire!’
Totally agree with you Richard, I'm a country boy born and bread,I live off grid and heat my home with a woodburner I made. My previous home in a small village I heated with a rayburn running on wood in the kitchen and a woodburner in the living room, we had the warmest house in the village. I'm lucky a local farmer, Let's my have any trees that have fallen in the storms, I have to cut the trees up and season the logs. I wouldn't change it for anything, wood warms you up twice, once when cutting it and again when burning it. I nearly managed to buy a small holding years back, but it didn't happen, and now I feel I'm too old. I have a lot of the skills and knowledge to make it work but not the youth.
Love your resourcefulness and positive move away from the worrying about what 'they'll do next'. In the mean time, it robs us of the joys of life. I for one, have never thought 'progress' = better and see no reasons why we wouldn't live healthier and happier lives by simplifying life - like chopping wood, growing food, and enjoying what God has given us - nature :)
Best wishes for success in your new venture Richard, I hear the management at your local Superstore is after you for nicking their basket, We won't disclose your whereabouts.
Great !, glad you've learnt all you have since the Great Stupid attempted to obfuscate our lives 💛 Your pioneering example is a treat to all 🏡 Big love to you both 🙏😊💛🏡🌟🌲
Loved this richard 👍new follower here but a few years into the rabbit hole, got ourselves a field some sheep hens polytunnel and soon to be hopefully off grid cabin/static sick to death of living to work to pay overheads and noy just enjoying life
My only heating is a wood stove, and we cook every meal on it during winter - it has an oven too. Have acres of forest to feed it for free. Water is collected from the roof (20,000 litres) and power is solar /batteries. No bills. A lot of food from the garden too. But the main solution, is avoid the media. Keep an eye on it, but disengage. Our minds need to be free from their clutter, to give us strength to resist.
Local honey is always the best, isn't it! I get mine from the small farm next door to my land, and I love talking to the bees in summer when they come to visit me to collect pollen from the flowers I plant especially for them. The honey is delicious! The small farm is also a cow with calf dairy and supplies lovely raw milk too.
Nail on head, couldn't agree more,. I'm 26, dress sartorially, timelessly, drive a 90s Volvo, don't use a smartphone, only use cash where I can, write cheques to companies instead of DD. Taking back control of my life
How wonderful to see you outside again, Richard, and I whole-heartedly agree with your sentiments. Your videos always come at just the right time. Thank you; you are so appreciated.
Hey Richard…I love my relationship with my log burner..getting the logs and coal in…reminsds me of my childhood…I grew up with no Central heating..we had an old coal aga ..I remember Richard my parents drying our clothes over the agar …🤗
Im Living Life to the Fullest🙄🤐 since 2021! Traveling around! Not registrated anywhere! Nor do l pay taxxes! Meeting like minded people! And enjoying all the goodies in and off life! There seems to be a world where people live in fear... making war... killing each other... being greedy as hell... anxiety about paying bills... people dying as flies getting badly sick... So happy l'm living in a caring loving enjoyable world! It is all about what you choose! L❤ve and light to all people choosing for the dark&evil world! Hopefully you start to make a much better choice❤ I would be happy to help you out!
Well for the sake of debate lets say Richard is spot on with his idea of returning to the old ways which is not as glamourus as he tries to make out, so we all go with his utopia and we all go with the thinking that follows would that not make us all automtitons?.😮
good on you richard . iv just been threatened by scottish energy for non payment so iv just told em dont threaten me as iv got 100 persent record of not paying bailiffs plus iv told em im not paying there standing charges and untill they drop that il hold of on payment
We have a nice wood burner uses pallets wood and soft wood we put a kettle of rain water to wash up with nice and warm so warm that we have to open the window to warm the earth up 😮
Youre spot on Richard. It is time for the next step. Time to get busy living...
Well said!
The greatest mistake Humans have done . Followed their 'wants' . But failing to fulfil its 'needs' ....
free to do the right thing. that’s all im asking ☝️
The mind controls everything.
In humans defence though, they have been traumatised, especially during WWII, then had food shortages, etc, and then were conditioned to follow their wants, rather than their needs, once everything was plentiful again.
I think it ramped up after WW2. All that austerity & rationing, people wanted to enjoy life again. The advertising, the new gadgets, more jobs & income, it just kept on spiralling along with personal debt. 9/11 slowed things down so we are terrorised ever since with rogue leaders, banksters, bad laws, tech & cameras.

Richard, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I decided years ago to move off grid to a small farm so I could live a more independent life.

I'm in my mid-70's, and am trying, with some success, to regain my physical well-being(Cycling/Walking); which after years of MINIMAL usage, thanks to modern "Conveniences" (Car, Supermarket Food), had seriously declined..BUT what I didn't realise is, the hidden decline of the Kidneys, cardio vascular system, etc which get worse year by year..! thanks again Richard..
Yes, my grandparents too.The farm was a hard working one. To have it all running well shaved years off their lives and impacted health in the form of 24 hour 7 day a week work, worry about lack of income security and stress. They both worked on the farm and in other jobs for years to make ends meet. Rain, hail or shine as they say. No sick days. No vacations. Richard does have a level of nostalgic romanticism which all of us have when we are in love with the fantasy of achieving a dream or a life we yearn for. I hope he realises his and finds true happiness because you need it. The reality is a hard slog. And rarely does everything go smoothly. 'Bad' years on the farm, animals needing costly vets, crops failing due to things beyond your control, bouts of ill physical and mental health which drain resources and time, and the sheer cost of maintaining it all.The utopian idea of a quaint house in country on a farm sounds and is lovely, and so is the idea of communal village life. Realities of that are also not ideal. Not everyone gets along and things do not magically and symbiotically work together in these communities. Adults may choose to live this way but kids often resent being in isolated communities and longing for city life and anonymity to embrace the people they need or wish to become in life. The realities are harsh. Alcoholism and abuse is very real. So too is depression and suicide in farming communities such as here in Australia where life is harsh and can be far from quaint and drought and devastation for a decade or more with no rain is the norm. Small towns lack infrastructure. Limited medical and educational access. And other resources scarce. Things regular people in cities take for granted. Hundreds of kilometres driven to nearest bigger towns to have to go and buy things you can't go and make or buy or trade from the happy producing neighbours over the knoll. I wish him every happiness in manifesting the dream. I'm not being negative. Merely broader minded in a different experience of life both past and present. Large cities are also trying to bring in community gardens and positive spaces for it's people. In Hong Kong for example, where land is not accessible for all. Greening and harmonising of urban spaces has improved the environment and the quality of life for the residents who have no option but to live where they do. We make the best of what we have how we can. Most of us dream of a better and different future. Whatever that is to you, good luck in your quest for finding it.
Say it out loud Richard. I started telling people I was moving to Myrtle Beach. Within 2 years I lived in Myrtle Beach. I started using this, speaking to the universe 27 years ago. I was watching a French actor being interviewed. When asked how he became an actor. He replied, I told people for ten years that I was an actor, and I became an actor. That was all I needed to hear. Been using it for 25 years, works every time. I now live on 12 acres in the middle of nowhere, because God led me here. Try it, what have you got to lose? Say it out loud. Good Luck Richard and Julia.
About ten years ago when I told all my friends that I was going to be a comedian, they all laughed, well, they’re not laughing now !
@@user-rf9me7xm1w It works, even if you don't believe it. People have nothing to lose but their dreams.
My dream is off grid too. I hope it works out for you.

I really enjoy your content Richard, I think the World seems a bit ‘Weird’ right now and it’s great to know that I’m not alone with those feelings, providing a platform for discussing our troubles doesn’t necessarily mean that everything that is discussed is the actual solution, it’s just someone’s ‘angle’ on what might be upsetting us…discussing our worries helps offload the baggage, the stress and ‘brainstorming’ might not seem the safest option it illustrates how frustrated parts of the population are becoming, discussions are necessary to generate ideas, ideas help create solutions or compromises that lead to solutions, I sincerely thank you for your efforts and agree that we can’t ’Stop’ living and ‘Enjoying’ what we have by concentrating on the distractions that are being pushed out in the ‘Propaganda’, it’s the Devil that tries to divide, divide and conquer, we definitely need to appreciate and enjoy what God has given us…maybe that’s the purpose of those that try to distract us? I hope you can spend more time doing what you enjoy what you appreciate isn’t that how life is meant to be or should be? Enjoy Richard, You deserve it..! 😇
Lucky you Richard Wood burning fire & stove. Lovely.
We have a back garden full of veg so that's our plus. Thanks for all you do. 😊
With you 100% mate. I feel exactly the same way. We can't afford to move to a country home, but we already live in a small semi rural village with a woodburner etc. And like you enjoy our campervan and get into the dales etc as much as possible. Good luck to you Richard...life has been on hold for 3 years it seems and we've all been waiting for more bad news or a saviour to save us all. It starts with us, one by one living out best lives in spite of their evil plans. We win by living our way and saying No to theirs.
I suspect many people have one of those old supermarket wire shopping baskets lying around . They are very useful but can’t quite remember how or when , they acquired it . 😊
Hi Richard, I noticed the cut tree stumps. A neato thing you can shellack or bees wax the stumps with a little top sanding and level base. You get a beautiful effect of the natural wood rings and it makes a lovely table. Have a good weekend and thank you for your show.
You can split them for firewood as well.
This is how we need to live Richard vi do the same I have a lovely wood stove with a top oven it came from Bulgaria our friend brought it over and fitted it and there's no way I will stop using it
Happy wood collecting lots of love to you both ❤
We have allowed our lives to be made too complicated. When I was growing up, we had nothing. No fridges, no central heating, no washing machine, no bathroom, etc, and the toilet was across the communal yard. We had coal fires and a Yorkshire Range. We had a shovel to dig a way out of the snow that piled to the top of the door in winter so we could get to school. Hot ashes were used to make icy paths safe. Taps had to be thawed out,I say taps but in reality every house had only one, it was halfway up the wall and above the butler sink. There were only two rooms, the front room and the kitchen. Gas lighting had just been replaced by electric light, but it had to be used sparingly. I believe that the time has come, to cast off all the electrical devices that have been turned into weapons for the tyrants to use against us. If we chuck it all in the bin these bastards will see their world collapse. They are no more than thieves and liars.
You do see life in a charming way .
Dreaming
Yes charming and interesting. So many subjects I can't keep up with all .No gloom no doom just living life .While enquiring into the universe using what is available..They talk of going back but realy It is about applying things here and now in the present .Carrying things forward into the future the things that hold value at any time of day .Placing quality over quantity 👌. Best wishes to all 🌹
Amen. Take me back to better days. ....horrible times we live in now.
Thank you Richard for your wonderful videos, because I have known the truth for a long time, and it’s wonderful to hear someone else who is awake and finally talking about the reality that we have been lied to our whole lives. No one is awake in my street in Retford notts. Sadly some have been injured by the jab
I feel so much like you Richard and the lovely Julia. You have made my Sunday so much better after listening to your words ❤
From the wood make your own activated charcoal as well, a great essential needed in the cupboard.
Sounds like a plan Richard, good on you
Best Regards to you Richard and the Lovely Julia. What a lovely English couple and I love your "accents" from South Carolina. Excellent. Best I have heard!
By gum -- what a smashing vision 🙂
I watch old country with Jack Hargreaves , calms me down 😊
Ash die-back from the chemtrails.
Used like Agent Orange, to clear woodland to build houses on.
Thank you Richard. ...I am so glad that i had a wood burner installed two years ago...i love it, its the heart of my home... I often go to the woods and pick up all the twigs, they make great kindling....together we will win this...
This is what I like about you Richard you're not a doom and gloom merchant you have solutions I've had to unfollow from a lot of the prepper RUclipsrs because all they were was negativity
I think it's really excellent what you are aspiring towards Richard and all the best to you both _ Ken / Harrogate
Hi Richard, I like the cut of your Gib, I like you are living through the solutions ( as I did during the lockdown). I only work 6 months of the year and tailor my resources to my needs. The greatest gift is that most the joy we experience cost very little ... the sun m, reading, spending time with family, friends and animals. The good life is what brings you joy.
Waste oil heater provided 80K BTUs-what an experience. Catalytic converter on the fireplace, too,so 80% of the heat didn’t go up the chimney. Had to pay for the electricity poles before the
county would run the lines. Dug the water well by hand. What fun.🎶🎯💥🌸
Moved from English Suburbs to rural in 1983. Learnt self sufficiency to a grrat extent.... moved in 1996 to 170 acres of rainforest and a leaky caravan, then in 2003 to fiji rural lot. Ive never looked back, love living close to nature and having bees, chickens and my own fruit. Latest project is a large pond. Its all a wonderful learnkng process. Cant speak more highly of living a simple, connected to nature and locals, life ❤
💜
Simply Brilliant Chat! Lovely, everything you said absolutely resonates with me! Those ways was and still are THE Best! My late Mother would always get up and have a roaring fire going early in the morning early 80s. How much simpler it was, even Cooking on the adjoining stove! The water got that hot she had to run it off! None of that on these combi boiler/ gas eating things. No wonder the likes of BG are clapping their hands with colossal profits since they invented the thing 3 years ago! Loved your chat! Takes me back. Cheers... have a wonderful Christmas...
Your country home is out there waiting for you Richard God speed in receiving your blessings
I miss the bald explorer vids!
But of course now you have so many more subs now.
I know where you got that basket from, Richard...hahaha. Right next door to the Superstore from whence it came! 😉👍
I wish you and Julia every success in your venture, Richard. You've been a shining light in my life and opened my eyes to so much, and I've been down the rabbit holes with you. You deserve your dream, and I hope it brings you the happiness you both deserve. 🙏
I wish you luck in your new life and I look forward to seeing you working your own patch of soil and harvesting the fruits of the land , don’t leave it to long though because time flies and the work is enjoyable but heavy…Oh I forgot to add get a compost heap going as soon as you can it works wonders with the soil after a couple of years .
Thank you Richard. I was thinking along similar lines myself. I spend so much time keeping up with what's going on, that I forget to make changes in my own life for the future. I am 13 years older than you and not sure I want to make a big move like yourself. But I do need to keep my life fresh with new experiences. I am not yet ready to be put out to grass, a few tweaks here and there would give me a sense of purpose. It's a matter of balance I think. Doom and gloom is bad for anybody, there has to be some pockets of laughter and fun. Best wishes. ilona
Richard my dear you are a true credit to us all thank you for everything you have done are doing and will do to open the eyes of the fearful and poor people who are still unable to find the strength to stand strong in their true beliefs ❤❤❤
Best wishes for your plans Richard, fully understand the sense of getting away from it all. I moved out of the suburbs for the countryside and it has been the best thing I've done. Farm fresh eggs, veggies, country shows, long walks and fresher air. There are some little considerations, shops & petrol stations further away, more noisy tractor traffic, but I'm enjoying more of the community spirit. The overlords can't take that away from us.
ya when,a bet ????
Hi Richard
I always appreciate your honest and brave videos - I know just what you mean about going out, sorting the logs to bring in or cutting up some more, and then enjoying the log fire. It does make one feel at one with nature, the rhythm of the seasons and holding on to our human past of ‘ man makes fire!’
Totally agree with you Richard, I'm a country boy born and bread,I live off grid and heat my home with a woodburner I made. My previous home in a small village I heated with a rayburn running on wood in the kitchen and a woodburner in the living room, we had the warmest house in the village. I'm lucky a local farmer, Let's my have any trees that have fallen in the storms, I have to cut the trees up and season the logs. I wouldn't change it for anything, wood warms you up twice, once when cutting it and again when burning it. I nearly managed to buy a small holding years back, but it didn't happen, and now I feel I'm too old. I have a lot of the skills and knowledge to make it work but not the youth.
I was very surprised to see you so color coordinated today! Very dapper!
Oh wow...the start of your video reminds me of Steptoe & Son!!!
Best dresser logger in the business.
Love your resourcefulness and positive move away from the worrying about what 'they'll do next'. In the mean time, it robs us of the joys of life. I for one, have never thought 'progress' = better and see no reasons why we wouldn't live healthier and happier lives by simplifying life - like chopping wood, growing food, and enjoying what God has given us - nature :)
Good morning 🥰✌🏽💐😍🤓❤️
Best wishes for success in your new venture Richard, I hear the management at your local Superstore is after you for nicking their basket, We won't disclose your whereabouts.
Great !, glad you've learnt all you have since the Great Stupid attempted to obfuscate our lives 💛
Your pioneering example is a treat to all 🏡
Big love to you both 🙏😊💛🏡🌟🌲
You are certainly on your way to achieving your goal; thank you so much for sharing your journey with us; and may God Bless you
Loved this richard 👍new follower here but a few years into the rabbit hole, got ourselves a field some sheep hens polytunnel and soon to be hopefully off grid cabin/static sick to death of living to work to pay overheads and noy just enjoying life
I never stopped living the solution..
I do enjoy your show
I think Morrisons supermarket wants its shopping basket back?
Wouldn't surprise me.😂
Love living life I don't even follow day's it's so much better be ourselves in nature it's real . love and light 🕯️❤️
My only heating is a wood stove, and we cook every meal on it during winter - it has an oven too. Have acres of forest to feed it for free. Water is collected from the roof (20,000 litres) and power is solar /batteries. No bills. A lot of food from the garden too. But the main solution, is avoid the media. Keep an eye on it, but disengage. Our minds need to be free from their clutter, to give us strength to resist.
👏👏👏
Loved what you said, you are a man of my own heart, also watch and appreciate your shows, look forward to catching up one day,
Local honey is always the best, isn't it! I get mine from the small farm next door to my land, and I love talking to the bees in summer when they come to visit me to collect pollen from the flowers I plant especially for them. The honey is delicious! The small farm is also a cow with calf dairy and supplies lovely raw milk too.
Love it Richard! thanks
I think you’re on the right track, Richard. Very best wishes.
I hope that the population at large can get back to real human interaction both physically and emotionally.
Nail on head, couldn't agree more,. I'm 26, dress sartorially, timelessly, drive a 90s Volvo, don't use a smartphone, only use cash where I can, write cheques to companies instead of DD. Taking back control of my life
Good man you are Richard t hanks for your simple understanding on what we should be able to give and live a simple excistance 💯👐
How wonderful to see you outside again, Richard, and I whole-heartedly agree with your sentiments.
Your videos always come at just the right time.
Thank you; you are so appreciated.
Julia is your Central Heating Richard 😊
I bought 60 m3, 3 meters long whole logs.
I chop it.
Bought it January 2020, before prices went bonkers.
Glad i fid.
Hey Richard…I love my relationship with my log burner..getting the logs and coal in…reminsds me of my childhood…I grew up with no Central heating..we had an old coal aga ..I remember Richard my parents drying our clothes over the agar …🤗
Im Living Life to the Fullest🙄🤐 since 2021! Traveling around! Not registrated anywhere! Nor do l pay taxxes! Meeting like minded people! And enjoying all the goodies in and off life!
There seems to be a world where people live in fear... making war... killing each other... being greedy as hell... anxiety about paying bills... people dying as flies getting badly sick...
So happy l'm living in a caring loving enjoyable world!
It is all about what you choose! L❤ve and light to all people choosing for the dark&evil world! Hopefully you start to make a much better choice❤ I would be happy to help you out!
Harrold !
the feeling you get when being selfseficant is the best feeling in the world!!
Thank you Richard. So glad there are so many of us on the same wave length / energy level.
Steptoe and son.........
Brilliant..........
Bless you Richard 🙏💖
Thank you for all you do
We let the purity of our light Shine. I can t say it loud enough .go tell it on the mountain over the Hills and everywhere darlin ones 🤗🤗🤗💓❤💓❤💓❤
In the words of ZZ Top, he's got logs, and he knows how to use them
He's a sharp dressed man.
Well for the sake of debate lets say Richard is spot on with his idea of returning to the old ways which is not as glamourus as he tries to make out, so we all go with his utopia and we all go with the thinking that follows would that not make us all automtitons?.😮
Hi Richard you are so right I wish you luck
This is lovely.
Thanks Richard
May God continue protecting you Julie and families
Lovely thankyou
🇦🇺😎👍Good morning Richard.
Spot on as always Richard. I miss the old days. Going with my parents to visit my Auntie in a TB Sanatorium.
