I would like to join and learn about nature, you look so relaxed, and I’m with you in spirit. What if you don’t feel comfortable or safe where you are are. right now? How can I help with the costs?
I think allowing more people has increased the influence of the 80% herd, so then it´s easier to use mass social acceptance of the abuse and laws. then once they have the societal structure they desire - cut the numbers. So yeah we´re here!! Most want to feel protected and safe. Family members have even been rejected, as the basic instincts kick in.
You are stuck in the matrix yourself because you do not understand the importance of race and that your ancestors would've killed anyone who mixed.
If you knew anything about your culture and ancestry...but you are not nearly as educated as you believe. Embarassing wake up
Wish i lived there 😢
Looking at all the merchandising and affiliate links, you are still well and truly in the matrix
I could not agree more.We are all living in a synthetic soulless society which taints the true meaning of life.
So true.
Well said. Modern society is an abomination.
Great comment!!
Well said
That's true, but I think most people like life to be as easy or pleasurable as possible. I do agree with a lot of what Bjorn says, but I've been a prepper for a couple of years and you do realise that some modern amenities are extremely useful and life would be much worse without them, it's just people can't help abusing things, obesity, addictions etc. If we had the choice of a scarcity of food or an abundance of food we would all choose the latter.
I just quit my job last year, after 24 years as a teacher. Looking back I recognize what a waste of my life it was. I finally quit, when my boss, who had 10 years in education, tried to tell me how to do my job.. If I was a doctor, with 24 years experience, I would be an expert, detective.....construction worker....etc, but in teaching, you are always wrong. Teaching-The most toxic profession ever.
Former Teachers Son here. You are so right. Some of these- new Bosses- they Force on us are outright Arrogant.
My wife is a teacher. I am retired from a profession with a similar problem: law enforcement. What they share in common (this being a frequent object of discussion in my house) is an overwhelming number of paycheck collectors who end up burning-out their peers, subordinates, or others because they aren't pulling their weight...and find every toxic methodology to cover for their laziness. Blame whoever, lazy administrators, or unions, or lawyers...but it is the age old problem of the bad apple that spoiled the barrel.
Construction worker? Maybe if you sacrifice your entire life for it some people will respect that, but if you change work place you must proof everything again. And when you get older your joints, mind and everything begin to break down. You probably had to run your whole life and do heavy physical works and you will be forgotten, while you made some useless eaters rich.
Retail has got to be the most toxic, not playing down your own experiences. Retail is absolutely shocking and I've met the biggest dickheads working in that industry.
Because we are an overtaught society. Too many people spending their lives learning things that are not useful, instead of doing useful labour. The teaching industry is bloated.
I’m a black female in North America (in my 30s) and I do like your content.
I quit a high top tier career in the city, moved to the country and I went from $300 an hour to $21 per hour waiting tables just to pay my much lower bills. In the city I was financially abundant and deficient spirituality emotionally and psychologically. Since I quit the city life I am abundant spiritually, emotionally and psychologically; and I’m working on the financial part. I’ve never been this happy and content in my life. I need so much less to be happy, just the nature, the rivers, lakes and trails. I have 5chickens and 3 garden beds I’m proud of. So much nature so much peace. I also cut out people and things that subtracted from my peace.
Beautiful

inspiring! Minimalism is the way to go.
300?
I long to be where you are. But I’m 80 n don’t have the energy to start over. But I’m very lucky n absolutely love my home . It’s only contains things I have collected over the yrs n love. I love animals - NATURE n really do not enjoy anyone but my children / grandchildren / great grandchildren. The rest of the world it just the needs we all have. Food etc! I’m happy for you that you have disconnected.
I escaped Canada last year with my wife and two small boys. Sold our house, quit my job in the military, and now we're in a safer country living in the woods in a little village. I make maybe 1/10 of what I used to make in income, but we paid all our debts off and now we have a community, not just physically but a spiritual community that I have connected on a far deeper level than anything I've ever had while in the matrix. Our children are thriving more than ever.
That’s amazing! I would love to this too. However I don’t any family and don’t know where to go..
@@slane2148There are places in India that are always looking for volunteers to help in their communities
@@slane2148 Fortunately there are still quite a few options out there, maybe somewhere where you might be able to find residency status through work or education. With some money there are a number of places that would grant residency or citizenship.
Did you join a cult?
If it's not a secret what's the country you stay?
I downsized to a small home with a bit of land in the country. I work part time to pay my minimal bills. I have very few items that use electricity. I spend time enjoying nature and my chickens & ducks. I feel so much happier.
Thanks for the inspiration, motivation, and truths
I am 67 and did the same as you 30 years ago, happy with it.
That's awesome! We just sold our 3br 2b home. Living in a camper and building our off grid aircrete home. Feels great to dump the grid tied overhead! I'm 54 and my husband is 64. It's never too late to make positive changes.
Those chickens and ducks will bring your stress levels down to near zero if you're not eating them. Birds are God's cartoons. The comedy alone is worth more than what it costs to feed them, and who doesn't love little baby ducks? Words are not adequate to describe the drama of watching the little ones following mama, and getting their education learning how to become professional grade ducks.
I'll bet that you would never dream of trading the life you have now for the one you had before.
@@jpalberthoward9I couldn’t agree more! I feed a flock of ravenous Blue Jays and spending the $30 per week on peanuts is well worth the sheer amount of entertainment and joy they provide me. They are literally nature’s comedians. Such a joy to watch how ridiculous they behave. It makes me laugh every time. Truly wonderful, and goofy, creatures birds are ❤
Oh my goodness so lucky.
I lived in a single room in central run down Sydney, all concrete, rushing and misery, when I started watching you. Now I’ve set up an off grid life way up the river. Composting and fire wood. My life is beautiful. Thank you, Bjorn X
It’s pretty inspiring!! What was like the committing to the simple life
Yes!!! Gods speed brother. And congratulations 🎉
@@williamcarter3949it’s really easy when your heart is begging for it.
It’s a calling. An aching.
Comeyouspirits, yes well done and enjoy such a great change in environment. I live in the highlands of Scotland, in the country and can go into woods and off grid within ten minutes each way. ❤ from 🏴🙌🙌
Wonderful
Just had a divorce after 2 years of marriage, also found out my own father was a sexual predator, while I was still trying to repair from his abuse towards me. Nobody seems to be who I thought they were… so I snapped. I recently left everything, and now I live in my SUV while still working with just the bare minimum. In a way it hurt so much…. But I’m free, and more so… I’m alive. I’m saving up money so I can go as far away from this place as long as I can. The wilderness constantly pulls my heart, and I think I’ll finally go. Cheers.
At 18 I realized that society's values were 180 degrees different from mine. What society valued...I dismissed. What I value was laughed at. I only realized that I had defined the problem. That's as far as I got. Now, I am 72 years old. I am so happy to have found you! I feel as if I am looking out of a prison and seeing someone who is free. Thank you.
You are not a 'conspiracy theorist'. We are now referred to as 'Spoiler alertists', because it all comes true. You do know what is happening and I thank you for sharing with everyone.
It‘s called a pattern recognitionist ;P
It's called being self-deluded.
@1x0x You do realize you're using language and themes directly taken from a 24 year old "Liberal Hollywood" movie, which itself is a metaphor for being Transgender, right?
The Matrix was written, directed, and produced by two Trans sisters?
@@eternalskeptic you probably realized he needs people caught in the " matrix " for his channel to thrive in the first place, right ? xDDD
Watching his videos on a smartphone probably lmao
I can't blame you for that, sharp mind.
🤣
@@eichkater6928 Hey, if you enjoy using pop culture Trans philosophy from a quarter century ago, you go right ahead.
Thank you, Bjorn. Modern society holds nothing but emptiness for me, and has for years now. The mindless consumerism, wokeness, superficiality, rat race, etc. can go in the bin along with the garbage on TV, social media, etc. None of it has any value to me whatsoever. I cherish my small family and simple life. What makes me happy? Sitting under my big Maple tree and watching the Hummingbirds at my feeder after a walk in the woods. Nature is what truly heals the soul.❤️🌳
Same for me. This modern society is utter garbage. No spirit, no soul. I have zero interest in it.
B E Autiful and sounds so tranquil under your maple tree. I have a favourite huge Oak I love to sit and watch the world go by. ❤
Because I dont have enough money to set myself free.
You have (even if you don't realize it) something more value than money, you're free will. Choose to be free and be it.
@@braziltokyoschool Yeah but I really want an Audi R8 to be free in.
I understand that, and so many are low income and sadly, unable to do much. A better world is ahead after the Maker finally comes back to renew the earth.
I'm 36, live in the UK, desperately unhappy with most aspects of my life. Relationships are toxic, substance misuse, and really in need of a new way of life completely. Every single aspect needs to change, I'm thinking of just going off grid. I get out in nature daily and feel totally different when I'm out. Now your channel pops up. Think I have my answer, Thanks for the eye opening chat
I’m 34 in the U.S and I feel exactly the same. I’m currently working on going into the wilderness to build my survival skills. These people are speeding up their agenda
do well mate, get it done
Enjoy nature enjoy solitude be creative observing as you walk
Modern USA is a soulless shithole. I know. I'm in it
Here in Ireland brother cost of living homeless crises while they continue to bring in migrants, relationships are toxic people have became brainwashed have no time for eachother it's want want any culture I'm checking out and going to South East Asia
Lesson number one ☝️
Never compare yourself to others , live your best life
General Patton Was Correct When He Said " We Fought The Wrong Enemy"
Probably meant Russia, sure he didn't mean his own gov or elites, he was just priming the masses to focus on the "new" enemy that the US are always looking for.
Damn, you're someone who knows the REAL truth!
Who was the real enemy the (chews)?

I am checking out. Seeking alternatives actively. Kids are grown, and awake. If you’re scared to make the leap, do it anyway. The “universe” will catch you and guide you. I call it Operation Ready for Anything. Be happy, healthy and helpful and gods algorithm will be able to assist you in the most remarkable ways!!
You are not a consipiracy theorist! You're just telling the cold hard thruth. Keep it up Bjorn, great content. Thanks!
I agree with you! I’ve detached for 12 years now and never been happier. I garden, connect with nature…care for my husband and multiple critters, enjoy my little piece of rural forest, have a few extraordinary friends and pray for my country. I am 75 years young and love the morning sunrise.
That is my dream
Easy when you don’t have to work to provide for a family
Yes, you are correct. I worked as a single mom for many years….dreams don’t usually occur overnight; however, with much hard work and planning, they are finally attainable! Perhaps that’s why dreams are so precious, there is much joy in life in the struggles mixed with the success.
How do we do it though? No one is saying how to do it XD
@@Weaklytune For me, understanding that it is a slow process was critical. If you have a small piece of land , think about selling when market is right. If you have a starter home consider pulling out equity for a down on future homestead? If you’ve had a little home for an extended period of time, pull out equity and turn your place into a rental? Or…..you might stay put, live frugally on strict budget and save as much as you can for a little piece of land……preferably one where you can put in a simple structure until you’ re ready to build.🤷♀️ Get creative…you can make it happen.
The issue seems to be that we have forgotten our responsibilities to ourselves, getting distracted by things that lead nowhere. No one forms families, no one works on building things. It's all just tinsel. But you don't have to accept it, even when others worship at the altar of the culture.
It's hard to find a partner that doesn't want to keep up with the neighbors. Even the people in outdoor/eso/pagan/nature scenes do that in their branch. Rare people that are totally off that game and just be happy with themselves.
👏
@@Schachtens Once they've had a taste of opulence they never want to go back. You know what they say, a man wouldn't even bother buying a house if he could just F a woman in a cardboard box.
It's the planned destruction of every country so they can usher in the new world order.
@@RetireandGo You didn't have a big family along, I'm guessing?
I’m from Romania, grew up having grandparents at the countryside, raising chickens, ducks, seeding, weeding, harvesting, canning and pickling the fruit of our labour.
Looking at the direction the world is going towards and the state of capitalist overconsuming greed…I’ve started reinvesting in growing more veggies and fruit at our country house, even if it’s far from the city and we can’t live there full time, but we can at least automate a drip system to water our crops in our absence. We also plan to buy more land to farm and work remotely exclusively.
It’s hard work, but rewarding work. Living in fear of getting laid off every single year from every single job we have is…just not worth the stress and the enormous blow to our health. It’s easier to prevent health issues than it is to resolve them after they occur.
It hits hard when I think about the state of the world. The many suffering at the hands of the few. Being programmed in schools to be a diligent worker, all for them to take most of the fruits of our labour and barely leave us with a living wage…It used to be that work value vs pay was an equal trade. It should be illegal to steal so many people’s fruits of labour to enrich oneself to the point of pointlessness, whilst the people who helped producing that wealth are struggling and can barely feed, clothe themselves and their families or keep a roof over their heads…
The problem is one can never fully disconnect. You have to buy land, which means you have to pay taxes. Also, I’d like to point out that there are several scenarios which might force you back into the matrix. Getting a major sickness for one, and everyone’s favorite, getting so old you can’t do all of the outdoors stuff.
also, sleeping on the ground, cot, air mattress sucks
You can place your heart, your attention and intention, goals and desires all outside the matrix. Neo left the matrix, but he was stil visiting. Point is, you shouldn't strive to play the matrix game...
You are correct. The only way people could fully disconnect is if we have communities of people cooperating and working together.
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing neo was used just like agent smith to reset the matrix. neo was played just like the truther movement.
But still even if my family and I could just have a house in the woods I wouldn’t mind still going to a regular doctor or store once in awhile, don’t have to fully disconnect from this modern world but keep yourself far enough to where you can “cleanse your soul” from all the toxic stuff of society but still use its benefits such as a doctor or living in a home with a normal bed and bathroom ect . Don’t have to fully be off grid

Back in the 1940:s we moved from a large city to a farm and I discovered the beauty and life affirming blessings of nature. I loved the gentleness of domestic animals and all they provided. Today I feel so homesick for a world that no longer exists. It's all gone; politically, socially, economically and spiritually. No I'm 88 with precious memories and a loyal wife and family as adequate compensation.
Beautiful just beautiful memories you shared here with us...cant thank you enough...
That is when everyone started doing the opposite. Well, after that. People fleeing the country and settling down in the city and embracing every bit of bullshit they were fed.
We see the effects today. People are so happy and fulfilled. Prospering. Raising children and hope for the future.
Wait, no. Sorry, it's actually the exact opposite!!!

Narcissists hate everything that is real, natural, and God's will. The only way to beat narcissists is to ignore them completely, then they turn each other and we don't even have to get involved. Thanks for the excellent content, Bjorn.
You’re 100% right. I saw this coming more than 10 years ago. I was telling people at 16 what would happen. It’s at that point
If you want to take away power from a toxic society, the best way is to withdraw. Same goes for dealing with toxic people. Thanks for the great content, Bjorn.
Who is John Gault?
I did that & felt a huge relief in my life
Wisdom !!! 😊
Ya withdraw so they can recruit Chinese to work for them who are even more obedient. The best way is to introduce a new system, not run away from it with money.
@@lets7121 Withdraw means you don't care what they say, you ignore their toxicity, and avoid them whenever POSSIBLE. Get it now?
I left the city and move to the Polish countryside. I might end up to be the last old woman still alive in the village but I don't care
Had a day picked out to leave and on that day, nature showed me a reason to stay. A bird was stuck in a bird feeder and just thought to myself that if I left, that bird would remain stuck possibly...so I stayed, helped the bird into freedom and decided to stay to help others.
This is a hard one for me. I first kind of woke up when I was under a lot of stress, belonging to a cult, and doing the bare minimum at an office job. One day, 12 years ago, I was about to enter work one day and I stopped dead, outside the office door and blurted out " what the hell am I doing with my life ", completely involuntarily. I had no idea it was coming. I haven't really recovered from that and am just participating for the sake of participating - for a few years I really couldn't find a decent answer as to why I get out of bed in the morning. I've been in limbo for years now.
I completely get it. 💯

Your season, my season and all those who are called our season is here. It's leap of faith time and NOW is the TIME to act or subtract! You have the power, courage and strength inside you so it's time to be so sick and tired you spring fourth into action and commit to your peace, healing and happiness! This is YOUR LIFE and ONLY YOU are truly in control of that! Take your power back and break free! I AM!
@Rhyme4ReasonMusic Sucks that we gotta go through hell to change. Like damn, why can't we get the message and just change before getting miserable? So rude, Universe.
Even if you just go to the gas station or grocery store interact with everyone. The world does notice your bright and shining face. True. Meet people's gaze and smile. It is amazing how quickly the mood changes.
To a degree, yes. But they don't know you or care about you on a personal level. They are busy thinking about their own to-do lists, etc...
Yawns are contagious just like frowns. Why not just try to have a smile and not be in to big of a rush
As one prepper channel said " I would rather wear a tinfoil hat than a blindfold" so true.
Love that! 😉
Important and inspiring content Björn. In 2020 I unplugged from the Matrix. I have not had a 9-5 office job (being a robot and slave) since then. I have also left living in cities, after living several years in cities like Stockholm, London and Paris. I'm done with the rat race and superficial life in cities. Now I'm moving to the far north of Sweden to enjoy nature (especially the forests and mountains) fully! 🌲🌳⛰Thank you! 🙏
Wonderful message spoken with truth and underlying passion for others to break free from the bondages of the matrix and social media. Thank you Bjorn for your words to help set the captives free.
I’m about to relocate to Ireland, rural and beautiful western Ireland, with my small family. I’ve been lying down for the past 3 hours with anxiety about whether this is the right move.. now I know. Thank you, Bjorn
Sounds wonderful.
Do it Lytton, I moved my small family to Northern Ireland 5 years ago. Best move I ever made!
I use to live in the west I'm now back in the midlands
@@madworld5762 where about's in NI do you recommend?
The west coast of Ireland is beautiful. One of the easier places to live I would say. Just make sure you don't buy a property with the Mica concrete block issues which suffer with fractures.
I so enjoyed the days long ago that I could spend in nature, every chance I got. I'm old now and recently caught myself spending too much time online. It really hit me during a personal tragedy--everyone all around me was on their phones, even between duties, unable to disconnect. I am grateful that I was able to be completely present and endure every moment, treasure every second until there were no more. I hope there will be a trend to disconnect with electronics and connect more with people again.
It will not happen, it is asking a lot of this clown society.
@@RetireandGo I'm happy for you! I'm no longer physically able to get back to nature. But I can disconnect and be present for my grandchildren as I was for my children. They love being here because the tv is never on and the phone is put away, it's just them.
@@r.s.632you can disconnect from technology such as phone and so on easily but do you really want to connect to people? The more i interact with them on a daily basis the more my hatred towards people in general grow. I remember years ago i was different but now theres loads of very unhealthy negative feelings towards people around me. I just go to park to feed the local ducks and that is a time well spent.
I lost my brother during the (thing) and witnessed the same…. Makes me worry about my grandchildren too.

I have just found you on RUclips and I have now subscribed! This completely resonated with me. My eldest son who is 19 was talking about this very topic last night. I’m so glad he has this awareness and the desire to exit the current matrix and to question the narrative. I will share this video with him. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻
I totally get you bjorn! I’ve been struggling with this ‘life’ my whole life!! And looking for a way out!👀thank u for the inspiration!!
I would love to connect with you in the real world. I know that is impossible but just wanted to let you know I get so much from your channel. You bring your background in psychology and your native Viking background together and it is a powerful combination.
I checked out of the modern world 5 years ago, bought 25 acres in a remote area, built a log cabin with a rainwater tank, wood stove for heat, and outhouse for septic. Saved tons of money, and now I have no utility bills. Anyone can do this. I am a 65 year old woman and single and I did it. My blood pressure is down and I am at peace now.
Sell everything and buy property in the country where you can grow food, and harvest wood and rainwater. Stop being a slave and get out of the city!
Fantastic life story to hear 🌟 Well done 👏🏼
Sounds very healthy, powerful and attractive! Living natural ways.
I once lived quite rural with my boyfriend, 7 chickens, only 3 tv channels, gas tank septic tank and 1 for sewage. We did so much in and around the house by our selves esp my boyfriend.
In the end I left him ..
I do miss the way we lived. Maybe one day I find it again
Wonderful! 🌲🌿🌳🍂🐞

Magnificent - my heart would love to do the same thing but, here in the U.K., we are now trapped with nowhere to run :(.
I can’t find land I can afford. And I’m not picky. I’m ready to leave, everything packed.
Thank you for your efforts over the years Bjorn; whilst your impact cannot be directly measured, it is undoubtedly significant.
Well said. Yes, although it can't be measured perhaps, Bjorn is making an impact.
Fantastic message. THANK YOU for posting these videos. It’s such an encouragement. It’s time for many of us to OPT OUT and spread the message
I live in Toronto, Canada and it honestly feels like a concrete jungle, just grey everywhere and glass structures that all look the same. People look 👀 like they have no sense of direction, I always go to the woods and walk on trails and I have a greater sense of connectivity.
I've lived most of my adult life in remote places, in the woods, in the mountains, small towns, intentional communities. Im presently stuck in a big city and I hate it. But for many of us its difficult to get out. This modern society depends on people being dependent on it. Slavery never went away.....it just changed form and what we have now is an economic slavery. Its hard to unplug without the means to do so.
Join or create a community.
Very much agree. Been pointing that out to a lot of folks. A few get it but most don't!
I fell on hard times financially and had to burn through savings. I’m back in New York City after living in the woods. I will be working and saving to set myself up better. In the mean time, I am miserable but looking forward to going back to my peace
@renebleu8711 hang in there, friend
Just get out (sarcasm)
I gave up social media several years ago. I became far less stressed and more able to enjoy the life i lived. The main reason I gave it up was because i didn't like who i was when I was on it.
Yet you are here and commenting in social media
I meant Facebook, Twitter, etc. I don't consider RUclips as social media. Presumably, neither does a lot of people who comment here. But whatever.
When you said, my heart is not in modern society...........wow...........I'm in it, and totally agree. Especially living in the US. Things are out of control. I just found your channel today and it's like a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your videos :)
Hej Bjørn,
Thank you for you steadfast message.
I loved the way you faded out of the vidio in the background! Nice touch.
As someone that also has the psychology background... Its so hard to understand how people do not see it all happening
The Psychology of Totalitarianism, Book by Mattias Desmet, explains this quite well. It is sad alright.
They don't want to see becaue it is too unpleasant, also for them the priority number one is to stay with the other sheeple all the time. Social death is worse then the real death. I know it is difficult to understand but for them it is like that
remember before you realized all these things, you were unable to see through the veil too. they have been perfecting their propaganda machine for a long time
@@Afflictamine actually, no, grew up with a skepticism of gov't and with the idea that it was an us vs them situation.. It's all been going on longer than most of our wildest dreams

Getting out of the matrix will be the toughest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve been preparing for over two years now. I started with literally nothing at ground zero and now I have accomplished things I thought at the beginning were impossible. I can unplug for months now and I’m gaining the experience and tools needed to unplug longer. I don’t think there is a way to fully unplug which sucks but I’m getting out a getting as far as I can. We need communities where alike people can unplug together.
You’ve said something that I’ve long thought about. Communities. Not concrete cities and cookie cutter suburbs. I was never a true hippie back in the day….but the communes they longed for were nothing more than a community of like minded people, who rejected being controlled. In my opinion. I have talked for yrs and yrs about my wish for a somewhat self sufficient commune for me and my family. I do however live in a small, rural area, in town. There are still individuals here who practice what a community is all about.
This. Right. Here. Thank you for saying it!
The way people can create a strong community in is by breaking out of this shit system that is clearly meant to trap ones mind not alone but together. Finding people who want the same and working collaboratively. But this system has conditioned people to be full on independent and thats that saddest part about it all.
Exactly, millions of people playing stardew valley and having a virtual comunity, whilst sitting alone in their room, not even talking to the people that live with them.
There is so many of us that know what you wrote is an important step to saving society and people, but none i know of that would actively do something towards it. In a “globaly conected” world, people forgot how to actually connect.
Yes of course as long as it's not a trump cult
Thank you, this is huge. Recently I started to spent time at yoga retreats in nature, and it sparkled a little fire in me, whispering that I need some change. Your message is like firewood for it.
Beautiful message! Many things people in cities can do to escape. Meditation, exercise, genuine connections with people in person, on online! Meet people, breathing exercises, just being more present with yourself and unplugging from so much screen time etc...
Bjorn you are very wise, you are spot-on. I am trying so very hard to disconnect. I like you come from a different time before all of this artificial life that we are surrounded by that we are bombarded by. Everywhere you turn everywhere you look it's everywhere it's actually become reality for the general population. I am just glad I'm not the only one that sees it, but we seem to be in the minority.

We, the minority are the survivors. When Moses was leading in the wilderness only the reminent survived. During the Great Depression it was the minority that thrived. The truth is triumphant... always.
@@alexandergalica9383You must have a powerful wifi!
Totally agree, Bjorn. I have been going for long walks in woods and hills in Scotland without any phone. Restores the spirit.
Just don't get injured because you can't call for help!
@@ninnymuggins5159 What did people do before mobile phones? Don't walk across a road in town.......you might get mowed down by a car.
Me too. Also in Scotland.
Love long walks on quiet beaches, too, as well as the forests.
Connect with nature !
I live in a region in the UK where phone/net coverage is still patchy. Being off line is a way of life. I get out into my gardens and listen to the birds and insects as I tend my food crops. Its a major not-spot I am grateful for.
Probably couldn't get a signal there anyway.
I couldn't agree more. I have been trying to do this for many years. I'm close. I make a strong effort to spend time with my kids and family in nature. I try to inform my family of the alternative paths. I reinforce to the kids that social media is toxic etc. I've worked in IT for 20+ years and I've come to absolutely hate it! It's soul sucking miserable work. I have been trying to set myself up so I can walk away from it and have little to no debt to finally do something fulfilling. Thank you for trying to enlighten people to the alternatives. I agree that it's nearly impossible to detach completely, but distancing yourself from it slowly really isn't that hard. My advice is to take small steps to further distance yourself. The further you get the more clearly you will see and rely less on "the system". I'm about 2-3 years from a major change once I have all my debts paid and some life things sorted out. I can't hardly wait. Thank you Bjorn, I wish I could sit fireside and chat with you.
The crackling flames along with your presentation makes for such a therapeutic watch.
I live in the rural midwest and went into a new job a year ago. It's outdoors, physical, solitary, and long hours(12-13hr+ days). Once I adapted to the physical part, I love the job. I don't have to deal with people (except for one 2-3 min call a day from my boss about the next days work). I am not on social media at all, except for about an hour when I get home just to check emails and browse RUclips for a bit. I'm in the fields, outside, I see lots of wildlife, the physical aspect keeps me slim and in shape. It's seasonal, so I'm off for a couple months twice a year. I'm off right now, and actually looking forward to getting back out there, doing physical work by myself in the outdoors away from all the stupidity.
You are fortunate.
I think about checking out of this modern society every day. I want out, but ironically, in order to escape fully I need money, and to get money, I need to be in the system. So currently I'm trying to raise enough money to buy a decent plot of land, but in the UK it's extremely expensive, basically need to be a millionaire, so that seems impossible to me.
But there are levels of disconnecting. The step I've taken so far is to move out of the city, to a small town surrounded by hills, so I can walk straight out into nature whenever I want (and I love doing that). I've begun growing my own food in my garden, and foraging for things like berries, mushrooms.
I've completely stopped watching modern mainstream media, and actually find it repulsive now - it's such propaganda designed to make you hate your yourself and become degenerate. But I am now also completely disillusioned with most other people in my country and people my age - because they are so plugged into the system. I have nothing in common and nothing I could talk about with them. I don't know where to find like-minded people, but I'm probably better off alone anyway.
And here the irony is, you can find find like minded people who totally get what you are doing, here in the matrix. LOL ❤Love what you are doing, keep it up!
I'm from Netherlands so buying land here is seemingly impossible. But unfortunately we do not even have a lot of nature where to go to to forage or whatnot. My only option seems to be to exit the country. So i am likeminded but I think likeminded people see to be spread out in smaller numbers through the world. I'm in a smaller city and did start to forage a bit and try to recognize edible plants, surprisingly there are quite a few but the quantity of them is not a lot and some other people also know there are berry bushes near the river so they get eaten quite a lot ;) Anyway, yes its ironic isnt it? To get out you need money. Or suffer hunger maybe until you get to a place with wild edibles ;) There are countries with a little more affordable land (even Spain or Portugal or other countries overseas). But yeah, its hard if youŕe just plain poor like me. Wish you all the best to exit! Sometimes also I think it comes a little bit to a leap of faith, one could possibly even go somewhere a bit more wild and not own any land but then you definitely need to be sure of your skills to survive, definitely not super easy alone but also not impossible.
@@Doesch , misschien is het voor jou wel te doen om af en toe naar de kust bij Den Helder te rijden. Heb er bijna 40 jaar gewoond en gewerkt. Ga dan op een rustige dag in het najaar. Loop langs de vloedlijn en luister naar de zee, zoek de horizon. Daar waar zee en lucht elkaar ontmoeten ligt een oase van rust. Negeer eventuele wandelaars als je wilt of knoop een gesprekje aan. Zelf gaan we nog regelmatig die kant op vanuit Overijssel en elke keer weer komen we blijer terug. En parkeer bij Steakhouse Duinoord. Altijd ruimte daar en verhard pad naar het strand. Check wel even wanneer het laag tij is anders sjouw je je een ongeluk langs de vloedlijn. En vooral: kleed je warm aan. De Noordzee is woest en koud en de zuidwestenwind dus ook. En als je gezellig wilt eten na het uitwaaien moet je het even zeggen. Krijg je van mij een tip om het helemaal compleet te maken. Groetjes van mij.
Bjorn , your message reached me in Southern California, and I subscribed to your channel. My favorite thing to do is unplug and go camping. My trip this summer was to Yosemite National Park and hiking up "half dome." Each of us must find balance in our lives.
You are doing the right thing. It is our true nature to give without expecting anything in return. Our reward for doing so is the gratification we feel inside. The joy we feel when others use something we know and move forward on their path.
Your way is yours and mine is mine. But theirs is not ours. It is theirs.
One more point. I’m 73 years old and I love nature and I remain fit so that I can do as I wish. You are correct about those who have not seen the other side as us older people have.
Yes , I subscribed and look forward to hearing more from you.
☮️
I checked out years ago. Served 18 years in the military (matrix).That reality became no longer compatible with my true nature. I went through absolute hell to shed myself of that identity. It took time, meditation and altered states of consciousness to see things as they really are, for me...The more paradoxes, the more it hurts to think about things, the more i know im on the right path... you are right, about everything you said. There is something profound about being in the wilderness, alone in this "machine" we call a body. I love it! Toes to earth, and eyes to the sky...
Anyways, you got a new sub.
Agree completely. Have found when I go to see my mother, children, I'm old, they are so in the matrix that the rest of the day it pulls down my spirit, feel so depressed. I have responsibilities for my Mother, and of course I want to visit my children. Feel sometimes I'm trapped, they already think I'm weird . ;)
Do what you want to do, lead by example. I don't waste my time trying to explain to anyone what I want to do, I just work towards my end goal, it makes the present easier to cope with. I say, ' it's not forever' 🌻💐
💯% agree

Here in UK I am going through the process of unplugging from the matrix! Right on point thanks Bjorn
Detach now and be free, or be forced to detach later. I have been hearing a little voice in my head over the last two years telling me to learn to subsist without the modern infrastructure and it’s getting louder. I look forward to your bushcraft instruction
I know it's funny the irony of it, you need the modern infrastructure to learn the bushcraft! I mean, unless you get a book. But you can't buy it online because that is also modern society? It's actually funny, though! 🤔🙃
Same for me, that voice is now at a high pitch in my head. I have one foot out, I just have to detach the rest of me!
I just can not conform to the level of toxicity in this society. For that I'm considered a hermit. Maybe I am.
In Total agreement, there... I have an extremely small circle, and it's getting smaller...
I cannot meet genuine people. There seems to be something wrong with everyone I meet.
I can totally connect with what you’re saying because I feel the same. I’ve worked in London for 35 years & seen the best & worst of society on the same night many times. You can become angry or philosophical about life. I’ve accepted & been tolerant of it for long enough & now I rarely go out socialising or mixing in big crowds & much prefer solitude.
Thank you for this video. "Finding purpose and meaning in life is important." Couldn't have said it better myself. You have a new subscriber

Great message.... being outdoors does so much for the sole. I am trying to spend more time outdoors... and away from the cell phone. Keep it up...people ARE looking a way out.
I know exactly what you mean , I have slipped back into my old ways.
video games, hours of RUclips, late nights and early mornings , unhealthy eating, and bad hygiene.
Dopamine deficiency is no joke. As a previous gamer, i have been struggling with motivation for a while . As soon as I started playing games and watching RUclips for hours again, I felt my motivation, and my spirit dropping i can only describe the feeling as if a dark cloud just ascended over me and sucked joy out of life ..... I need to get back on track with my life and take time to work on myself instead of stupid distractions that are distancing me from my true self.
Maybe you are using these distractions to distract yourself from something? Be still for a moment and ask yourself what are you avoiding or running away from?
What is your job ?
I created my own orchard of 18 fruit trees, grapes, currants, gooseberry, a bee hive, and several garden beds in a standard sized lot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. If i can create my own nature reserve, anyone can. Pick up books on permaculture. Takes a lot of work, but you definitely enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Anyone who owns a lot can yeah.. sadly if you're a renter with nothing of value to sell and no savings, its not that easy. I'll fight for it though but not sure how long it would even take me.
Great point
Bible says to thrive where you’re at
I got a suburban job and an edge of town acre where we heat with wood and grow/raise some of our own food
Thought about going mote rural but I’m afraid of isolation, I like the social (in person) networking
I’m thinking of getting land in New Mexico!How is the weather?
The weather is beautiful. The politics are not. Native New Mexican here...born and raised in Albuquerque.
I'm just starting this journey but I'm on my way. Minimizing and detaching takes time and effort but I'll get there. Thanks for the additional inspiration.
The algorithm brought your video to me, I agree with you 100%
I am also now subscribed :)
Without sounding rude, because I like this channel and I agree with the idea .... I'll give a couple of reasons. We don't have ancestral land rights in America. So we're either squatting on private land or being run off of public land, threatened with arrest, or forced into a shelter. We can not legally live off subsistence or hunting, and fishing because we're hungry. All this costs money now, the act of catching a fish to eat will land you in jail... even if it's a small blue gill, there are licenses and fees required to eat. If you don't own land, you can not build a farm, raise food, and grow food to feed yourself. As a citizen of America, I can't leave the system... it's been done by ceos and business owners who got help from friends or family to start, then they decide to purchase their freedom. Something a common man doesn't have the luxury of doing. I can't renounce citizenship and leave for a reservation unless you're the right kind of native. This system has locked us in from birth, and we can't escape unless we are one day able to buy our way out. That's the cold, hard truth. Can I give everything up and walk away, maybe disappear, sure... but go where? No land, no millions saved up, no property rights. There is no way out. To practice bushcraft living is great and fine, but you can't do that in America(legally) without being in your land or without paying for licenses and fees every year.
That is a really smart point, I hadn't even thought of that! Yes, you can't just show up and do what you want on someone else's private land. You DEFINITELY cannot hunt or fish on tribal reservations! And you do need to buy a license to hunt, and to fish, and buy the equipment. You have to pay to park your RV at a campground.
I know people that "own" homes and properties. I nearly fall over when they tell me how much they still have to pay in rates (taxes).
It's a joke. They don't own shit.
Right.... and I hate thinking that I'm that guy he talks about, lol. I don't want to be the can't voice. I get that we can do everything he says one way or another, yet there are so many requirements, obstacles, and money issues in America, unless you go about it by literally breaking the law, however respectfully by feeding yourself and putting a roof over your head. The system for citizens locks us in at birth. And unless we buy our way to freedom or actually being born into a Native Indian reservation. And even they have less land than you'd believe.
@@dseelenmagie8811 I think that you have to buy your own land AND it has to be zoned for those things. You can't just go drill a well anywhere, etc. The gov't still has to tell you what you are "allowed" to do on the land you "own" that if you don't pay property tax will be repossessed by them. I think you just have to pay the campsite and stay for a weekend and go back to your house.
So sad and true. We are not really free for a very long time. Big gpv and big business has take away most of our rights., We are divorced from the land. and yes, most dont have the money to do anything. If i go live under a bridge, i will be told to leave or whatever. Private property owners will run you out or cal lthe sheriff. No where really to go and survive. Only a few can buy land. No money- no land. But i believe in what Bjorn is saying, to get out of the matrix trap system m if only partly. For most of us, it is partly.
It's more expensive to live in a city than a small town but people get so wrapped up in their present reality that they don't understand that. I found living in a city lonely because if you don't have money there's no much you can find to do. I found the people shallow and frankly hateful. A friend was telling me her social media makes her anxious so I told her to get rid of it and she looked at me like I'd lost my mind. She didn't believe I didn't have social media of any kind because it was 'essential' for having a social life. I'm a boomer and we grew up without it and I know we had a much happier life then. You had to connect with people on a one on one basis. I think the world will take this to the extreme then there will be a revolution of some kind, people will die and then we'll start again. Such a waste really when all this tech could be used to enhance life if only there weren't narcissistic psychopathic, greedy, holier than thou, control freaks using it to gain power over the rest of us.
That's a very accurate analysis!
You do "have social media of any kind", since you're posting on RUclips. But I get what you mean, and this is the only social media I am on as well. Narcissism has become an epidemic. Someone once told me, "if you don't post, you don't exist". (They genuinely believed that, it wasn't a social commentary or anything like that). That's the society we live in. I'm 34, and I agree, life and people in the 90's were much more authentic, real... normal. I'm not sure how to explain it. I guess mass narcissism and mass idiocracy are prone to happen when you suddenly give billions of people a smartphone with a camera and an online platform where they can be seen, heard, and get all the attention they want and never had. A significant portion of mankind is pretty much made of junkies at this point, all addicted to the dopamine rush they get via social media every two or five minutes. I can't even fathom the consequences of that in the long run.
@@luisdireito Very much agree with your analysis!
Just letting you know the algorithm reached me 👍 also, you’ve definitely got yourself a new subscriber mate. I’ve just moved to 160 acres to live in my camper trailer with my kids who are 4 and 6.
We’re living off grid, we take in or collect our own water, have built our own little power station using agm batteries, inverters, solar panels and a petrol generator for now until I buy more batteries. It’s early days but I’m planning on putting one of the cows in the freezer, buying bulk pork off someone local and growing all our fruit, vegetables and herbs. I’ve got sole custody of my kids so am going to be homeschooling them from the start of 2024 and they’re already enjoying coming on hikes with me, learning navigation and learning to bow hunt.
After seeing how much things have deteriorated over just the last year moving to the wilderness was an easy decision to make. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me to achieve my goal of being as self sufficient as possible but I’m looking forward to it and find that all the things I’ve enjoyed the most in the past were the things I had to work hardest for.
Thank you for podcasting in english. It is encouraging to find that those of us who love liberty come from many nations. We are not alone and not the minority.

You have to want out, with all your being and get it done. It's possible. Freedom versus luxury...... And then there's the luxury of Freedom 🙌 Priceless
Thank you Bjorn .. I was living in Norway n the part I loved most is nature n how society there takes care n give the real value to it .. me as a Brazilian in Brazil we do not have much more to go n see .. nearby cities is all paid n expensive unfortunately .. I'm aiming my life to be a teacher to share the same values as u .. but it's becoming harder n harder.. most thank you for seeing this beautiful nature n share the sounds of e wind n the crackling fire 🤘
I’m trying to move from the suburbs of a city to a rural area right now. Thank you for your inspiration Bjorn 🙏🏼
We made a mistake when we moved from family farms to cities during the industrial revolution, only to eat horridly. It's kind of ironic we now need to move back out for our health, physical and mental :) Gotta put some distance between idiots in board rooms and one's self.
Put the kettle on the wood fire, it whistles its happy tune when ready, make a big bold strong cup of tea, grab a few homemade biscuits, took a few breathes outside to say "hello to the stars and the moon. Sit down and listen to Bjorn and nod in approval of all you have to say. Greeting from Perth Australia! Love ya man!!!
You just wrote a song Billy...🎵💯🇺🇸
Agree with you 100% on this. greetings from a fellow Aussie girl down in South Aus.
Hello Bjorn, I checked out 50 years ago, but not completely, as a bushcraft instructor and guide I have had the best of both worlds with more of a lean towards the mountains. The mountains have kept me sane and from my lofty perches have seen the deterioration of the human race and the breakdown of family values. I am aware that not everyone can run to the mountains, but they can improve their lot by turning off the TV, turning off the smartphone and computer. It's nice to have what modern society can offer, but every so often we should take a look over our shoulder and see what we have lost or going to lose. When people say to me "what are you running from" I say that "I am running to" Enjoyed the video and your wisdom ATB. Cheers from the mountains of NZ
Thank you, really enjoyed this.
It inspired me to connect with nature. Get out of modern society and away from social media. I live in the City
It is very funny. You are the second one this week that has talked about "checking out." @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara talked about people checking out this past week as well. Albeit a bit differently than you. Many find social media as a coping method, one that like many others is dangerous to one's overall well-being. Because of your channel, I have reminded myself of my resolution to be out in nature more this year. Even with my busy schedule to sit in the backyard garden, that I have cultivated for over 20 years to have coffee at sunrise. To rise early enough to hear the birds welcome the day with song and in the evening to hear the coywolves calling and indeed frighten me back into the house at times. LOL. Thousands in the United States are leaving big cities like New York or entire states like California, the problem is ...they are bringing "it" with them, instead of leaving it behind.
Hey there, I watch Patara, too! From Tennessee to Norway, it's a far distance but there are many similarities in their channels. Both very smart, both love nature, both understand the state of the world very well.
Patara will never unplug. I don’t watch her because I have my own work to do. It reminds me of a friend I used to have. She would invite me over, I’d drive 45 minutes to get there, then I was expected to just follow her her around her place as she got her own work done. 😂. Couldn’t really call it a social call.
Thanks Björn, you are right, it’s true.
People, we, have forgotten how to live with almost nothing, like naked.
I once went on a 2weeks horse riding trek in the Pyrennees, no comfort whatsoever. At arrival taking care of the horses, setting up your tent, camp fires, finding wood evening/morning, washing in very cold stream.
That was the most natural experience ever and I cherish that I chose for it 💚
I grew up close to the Rocky Mountains in canada . I have become so tired of the city overflowing with insane chaos , I just can’t stand it anymore. I understand your use of communication to the masses it makes perfect sense to reach people where they are. I sincerely appreciate your message as person who can barely deal anymore in the insanity of digital everything . I know this life is not meant to be so noisy and stressful. I’m not young but neither am I old. My grown kids would be worried sick If I packed up a camper snd just moved into the mountains would it even be safe for woman alone?? I don’t know the answer . If it was I would just do it. I visited Banff to recharge my batteries and relax a couple of months ago and cried all the way home because it’s been blown up into this commercial nightmare. I couldn’t even find my way around I got lost in the small town of Banff for heaven sake!! My grandma used to have a cabin right in town. Well if it was still there, I couldn’t find it ! It’s been sold to industry . I had people aimlessly walk in front of my vehicle taking selfies ?? In the middle of the road , and I heard they are planning to renovate the hot spring !!! Why??? If I sound burnt out… yup who isn’t in this ridiculousness now. I feel sorry for my children who are never able to unplug ever, it’s their job to stay attached . Time for a huge shift back even to a simple life. Maybe they’ll find me and come to recharge by unplugging ?? Still figuring out my retirement years today so how great it was to find this channel . Thanks
Thank you for sharing this. I'm a Colorado native that has stopped visiting the mountains because they have been taken over by loud, obnoxious and brainless tourists. Can't find a moment of peace. I miss it very much!!
It's true about Banff. It's become such a tourist trap that if you actually want peace and quiete away from tourists you need to go to Jasper because it's not quite as bad yet.
I unsubscribed from 90% of channels and this was one of the first video's that came up on my home feed.
I'm a 28-year-old white male living in South Africa and there's zero reason for me to continue suffering in this sick society. There's nothing in this country for us anymore and it will never go back to to the way it was. I'm saving money to move to East Asia where I am appreciated and not seen as an enemy of 'oppressor', living my life in peace and harmony with nature.
@davidvincent2364 best course is to leave, brother. The West has fallen, sadly.
@@feanor7080 yeah america sucks for young white males
Too many don't realise they have the alternative of escaping, and would prefer to be in convenient dependency on the state.
I wanna start my own hobby farm on some of my own acres of land. Just as a single Dad, I'm not sure where to begin. Just discovered your videos, I love them.
This popped on my feed ( my consciouse brought me here). Im Awake, and am glad to meet you ❤
"We live in the 'world' but we are not of it."
I realised at the age of about 15 that one of the few things that could make me happy was nature. I'm 59 now, and it still does. It never lets me down and I don't care what the weather does. Nature is the only thing that makes sense. And the world around me gets more and more insane and people more detached. I don't want what they want. I live simply and give my life meaning by doing old fashioned stuff like cooking, photography, writing, bushcraft, camping, baking bread and brewing beer, playing guitar etc. Living simply means that I don't need much money at all and I'm more independent than most people. I'm not rich. I don't want what most other people want. So I wholeheartedly agree with this video, and it's not as difficult as you think. The main thing is to listen to your own common sense and like minded people, not the mass of society.
This message is so important, thank you for sharing.
Well done my friend I myself am currently trying to break free hopefully see you out there sometime 👍🏻
Youre so on point with ppl being unable to detach. I semi detached back in 2010 when i took a volunteer position on an eco resort in st john, usvi. Tent living, boat living, watersports shack living, minimal cell service, etc Hitting rock bottom on an island is what everyone needs in their life. Everything changed for my perspective on life after that
Are you still semi detached?
I still write letters and send them by postal service. There is no interference from the government. When you receive it, you open the letter where and when you want , not tied to technology. No one can intercept or track when you read it. And everyone that I have sent a letter to that was still alive wrote me back. And told me how wonderful it was to receive. Something I thought I'd share.
And here I thought I was the last practitioner of letter writing. In the US they scan the front and back of every letter. Not sure why.
The post office now tracks letters. You can even sign up for a service that will tell you what letters should be in your mailbox that day.
Bjørn
This video sum up what your channel are all about, I think!
Great!👍🏼
Greetings from Bergen
I will disconnect in the future Im sure. So tired of this modern perverted society.
I agree with what you are saying and dont wish to deny anyone the freedom to move to the woods, but as someone who has lived in podunk northern nh usa for the last 40 years, away from cities, neighbors and convenient amenities on purpose......i am having to dig deep inside as i watch everything change in a literal blink of an eye as people move in and develop every free piece of land as fast as they can. I now have to deal with traffic, crime, fireworks every weekend .....all the crap these people are leaving. Humans are our own worse enemy, we ruin everything
The video rolled on my feed because I am subscribed.
Referring to the subject matter itself.
I checked out from a young age.
Was blessed by my parents, going with a tent in the mountains.
I learned bushcraft.
I learned to respect the mountain itself also.
I'll try to present my little story as brief as possible:
In front of the mountain fire.
I had a lot of friends, I was taking care of them and their soul purpose in life was to make me wasted with strong spirits, over the night.
Guitar music and laughter all around.
No longer a teenager, I earned to have someone close to me, in front of the fire.
The distant ziggurat answered my call as well.
But, sadly, all times had to come to an end.
Even so, I was in front of the fire still.
Mature this time, all alone, nostalgic of times passed but glad to have taken part in them at same time.
Nature was still greeting me.
Today ?
Due to " society " I am no longer allowed to place my humble tent and make a little fire even for me, in the middle of the ziggurat itself.
I would be punished with high fines and taxes to boot.
I just want to ... be left alone, with the wild life, and my " bonfire ".
Let me be food for the wolfs and bears if need be.
But I cannot, that choice was taken from me, by those " above " me who knows better, despite the fact that they did not put even a single foot in the wild in the first place.
Trapped in a tomb of cement, my city.
I'm looking in the morning sunrise, earning for that cold but blissful ziggurat air.
I am bitter, true that.
But at least I know why I am so from the get go.
For whom took the time to read my humble comment in the void ?
I salute you.
I thank you for your time, because time is precious in itself.
👍
how can one fine you if they could not find you?
Be blessed wherever you may be, friend!
Great video. I completely agree with you. I myself have been stuck in the matrix and trying to disconnect for years. Everyday I work on trying to get out of it.
