@@Z3r0_d4yz The ROOT of all
Love this.
Australia here. Loved on a farm till I was 15 years old. Then went to the big city to work and live. Took me 20 years before I woke up and said, What am I doing here. Moved back to the bush and been happy since.
My story is very similar. I am so happily hooked on wilderness!
Licky you, that you had that possibility.
@@rayodeluz6759 You do not?
Smae deal brother, i grew up on a small holding farm in the 1960's after the marriage collapsed i moved to Tasmania and live in the north west , it really is a step back in time and so are the people, back to a time where i could find a place where i fit.
Fellow Aussie, and can relate. Living in the guts of South East Queensland or South East Queue I call it now rots the soul. Can't wait to spend a year or so living on the road and in nature, costs here eating into the hard work to achieve this but it feels existential to achieve
"I like all the animals...all the animals, except the tick." Preach brother! 😂
we have so many ticks here in the woods at my home that it really ruins it. a shame. I went up north for a bit to fish and there was not a single tick on me all week even though i was walking through brush a lot. such a freeing experience
Mosquito is more frightening than lions and snakes.
They bite me all the time
@@peetsnort Mosquitos actually kill more humans than any other creature on Earth by spreading disease, so be careful. Maybe you should look into the new insect repellent clothes, just bought one myself.
🪛 it.

― Luther Standing Bear
Bjorn, hope your heart always remains off-grid!✌
Nature has been humanized in much of the US. No grizzlies to worry about. Still, though not so wild with big trails etc. it is much better than no nature. I am old, and Texas is hot, but at least I can walk the dog in the mornings. The coyotes are gone and now there are bunnies aplenty.
@@charlestaylor8624 That's too bad about the coyotes. People tend to want to wipe things out that are a nuisance or a bit of a threat. I know they're around in the desert area of Utah i live in. I usually have a few deer visit most days and a family of raccoons come for the cat food i leave out at night. I know what you mean about the trails, especially in some national parks where they're paved. It's almost better just to walk a few hundred yards off the road somewhere. Best wishes.
Beautiful comment❤
@@layinlow77 I'm off grid since 2012. That man is lucky he has a bank account. I have nothing.
Yes. And if you step outside that box you’re labeled “antisocial”.
Labels only apply to those who give a sh!t about what OTHERS think.
@@anon4kagAbsolutely CORRECT
I have had that label for years already
And you get prosecuted sometimes, because that "looks suspicious" to some people.
I think as real men we must come to a point where we don't let others guide our behaviors.
Stillness. Calmness. Spaciousness. These three are essential elements for a happy life.
Deep relaxation into everything. Allow what happens to happen. Care about others.
I would add Solitude to the list 😊
@@carolynmaryscott yes. Care for as many people as possible but don’t feel compelled to save all.
Here are my 3 things i value#; Prana,Meditation,Clairvoyance.
@@atman5230 what’s Prana?
I had a deer in my front yard this morning with her baby. I sat on my deck 40' away. She knew I was there and we were comfortable just being there together. I just love your energy.
So glad you were tuned in and knew to watch for more. 😊
@@jocr1971I’m so glad you could stop and thanks for your vigilance. Whenever I’m driving through wooded areas I always make a habit to constantly look ahead for signs of deer or other animals trying to cross the road.
Thanks Bjorn for another great video. I’m a new subscriber and have really been enjoying your content😊
Love it when animals feel comfortable. I once walked into a farm by accident and all the sheep started following me and making maaa maaa noise behind me like the whole herd lol 😂
I often get elk coming through. Just last evening a female came through with her two calves. They must have been born very recently because they still had their spots. I never knew they were born with them like a deer fawn is. It's always a joy to see them.
Escaping the noise is exactly what i need to reduce my anxiety
Lmfao.... Just because it works for YOU doesn't mean that it is a fit for everybody else. If you want to go off and shit in a hole because that calms you, then do it.
I have fairly bad social anxiety. Led to physical ailments. Moving to the woods cured all of that. Some of us just aren't designed for non stop bombardment of other people being around all the time. All. the. time.
If you can’t escape, run. It will ground you in a different, but effective way.
Same here. Not always easy to get out, anxiety can be paralyzing, but like te other day when I dragged my ass out and saw the fjord and vistas, I could literally feel a strong calmness and happiness just pooring in and tons were lifted from my shoulders and the stone in my stomach withered away.
Also, try what they call grounding, feeling sun warm stones and grass under your feet is simple and effective.
Be free
Myself as well
From the great John Muir: "In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks."
OH, I AGREE !
July 3rd, my kids and I, in a uhaul, left the overwhelming Denver Metro area and drove to our new home in a small town in Kansas. We don't hear or see, or even feel the things we did in a huge city. It's quiet here, we go to the little forest often at night. We don't see the horrifying things anymore, the tent cities filled with people completely gone on drugs, or the crime, things no child should see on a daily basis. I feel safe. For the first time in 33 years (how long i lived there) i don't worry about my kids being accosted by a druggie, or thug...they can run around a playground where there are no needles laying around. There's no trash anywhere, and people are genuinely kind! The air doesn't stink.
I have had a hard time getting used to this peace, this quiet. It's hard not expecting the worst when someone says hi while out on a walk. It's very hard getting the city out of me. But it IS getting out and I've never been so happy in my life.
Blessings to you for taking the leap. Sending you courage and strength. Me, my wife and 5 kids did a similar move back on the 1st of January. Left the city of San Diego to return to the land. 🙂
@@shamandave_ It is a beautiful thing!
I live in the forest/mountains of California. Most people think that Cali is just a beach and the 'bay area'.... or whatever. Most of the state is rural and red. The highest peak in the lower 48 is in California. I live near it.
Enjoy your rural freedom.
Growing tomatoes, lettuce, pepper, oregano, mint & garlic chives. Life is wonderful with nature around you.
Spent the day picking huckleberries. I love nature. I work in the woods. Have no social media. Only watch RUclipss like yourself to remind me I am not “odd”.
When I was a very young child, sitting under a tree on my grandmother's farm was so peaceful. I felt the tree was my friend. At 75 years old, I can still remember that feeling. Being still and quiet, listening to nature, and watching the birds and animals brings such comfort. So much beauty; so much joy.
I relate very much to what you described as myself and siblings were fortunate to have a similar experience. To this day we retain our connections with Nature and appreciate the love, care and teachings we received from our Grandmother those many years ago. ❤🙏 🌳🌲 🌱❤
There should be another planet where to escape this sick society
I bet it would fill up so fast, i think more and more people feel like this now
It'll be too easy.
@@SntGod Better idea.. send all the sickos to the other planet and let us enjoy this one.
Neocons R driving us to a final battle quickly now.

Coffee with Bjorn, its become my happy place.
He sounds like a loving caring man. He reminds me of my cousin
I've been living for 66 years outside of the box. Travelling and exploring the wildest regions of earth...and simply enjoying life. As a pensioner I'm still living 'outside the norm' ... Living in a BMW X5 for the last 5-years, and still exploring the wilds 24/7 year round. Nature is my home and happiness is king 👑😉
how do you service your car on road?
@@jagymeister I have never serviced any of my cars. If I need work done for MOT then it is done at the garage while I wait.
Lucky. Hell of a way to live.
@@Globetrotter-1 ah so even while traveling, you just find a local service
@@jagymeisterit would be very hard to totally live like a cave man , so still use some amenities , it's not black or white , it's spend as much time in nature as U can
Even forests are not remote enough from this strange society we're living in today.
I live in the forest on a piece of property that has been our family home fo over 120 years. Recently, a lot of rich people are moving in and buying up all the property. They have taken over local government and are trying to take my land by raising the taxes and passing all kinds of local laws to drive the old timers out. They have threatened to fine me $1000 a day until I let them take my property because the buildings that have been here 100 years are not up to the new codes they have forced on us. You are right, there is no place left to be free.
I grew up in rural Canada. For my brothers and I, the forest was our playground. We hunted, fished and foraged, made lean-to shelters. Not knowing anything different, I thought everyone lived like this. I learned how to paddle a canoe and skin a rabbit before I learned how to ride a bicycle. As an adult, I lived in the city doing a soul-crushing job and living in an apartment. Watching a coworker have a nervous breakdown in the office was my catalyst for change. I escaped in 2003 returning to rural Nova Scotia with my city-born wife reluctantly joining me. It didn’t take long to make her a convert after watching a white tail doe with a fawn in the backyard nibbling on our hostas. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
I'm glad that you and your loved ones have found your place in the world ❤
How wonderful 😊
It isn't where you are but a mindset...the minute you figure that out is the minute you find true freedom.
Yes, so very true. Great comment. I've rarely ever heard that acknowledged!
❤❤👍👍

‘Where have all the mavericks gone?’ Escape the box. So much truth. Thanks, Bjorn.
On social media were they lost themselves?
I Social media is the worst drug that ever excisted as I see it... the moral depravity after facebook and later all the rest of the platforms are spiraling downwords at a stunning rate.
This man has helped me with self growth and connection to all things. Cannot express my gratitude enough. Much love from Canada my brother.
I really need to get away from all the noise. My special place in nature is the sea and the woods/mountains. I have been clearing my debt after that I will be looking to move, by my calculation Christmas onwards.
well done
Such a pleasure to see you Bjorn! We really appreciate your calm demeanor & attitude. You are a treasure, providing an oasis of reason and peace.
Thank you, Bjorn.
Hello Bjorn my favorite Viking! Im here on Vancouver island west coast of Canada! Love your content, always on the mark! Take care my friend.
Get ready for Cascadia slip!
I live in Victoria, and I hike on Vancouver Island every day I can since I was born. If you want nature , this is the place to find it as well. Unfortunately, way too many people have realized that, and now it's just getting ridiculously overpopulated , but there's always a spot away from people
@davidlang4442 been hearing that for over 55 years lol
@@BUSHIDO1969 Then the odds are getting greater every day for you. Hope your ready. It WILL happen.
Same here. VI born and farm raised, been/lived in many other places around the world and end up back here living in a rural area on acreage for last 30 years. Hard to beat.
Peace, brothers and sisters.
🙂✌!...
I rediscovered mountain biking around 3 years ago I dare to say it saved my life. I believe being in the wild is a huge part of why it calms me.
Heehee bicycle equals freedom. It’s the most free feeling in the world
Greetings from Louisiana to my favorite bearded guy in the woods enjoy yoyr chocolate coffee.
Came from work yesterday, at 21.00 decided I will not go to bed in an hour but rather strapped my lights on my bike and went for a 3 hour ride by myself in the forest, enjoying peace, quiet and a gorgeous sunset. SKOL, Bjorn. ✌️
Lovely ❤
Living away from large cities, I enjoy being in my own garden, picking cherry tomatoes as a snack while I'm weeding and pruning. Having my hands in the earth helps me relax and get rid of the stress and negative emotions.
Glad u made it out alive... lol.. Enjoy your Coffee and Fire in Nature..The only way to ReCharge.💯👍😁
Love the woodlands!!!
I am from Maine, USA and we have a lot of trees just like Norway. So healing. Thank you for making this channel!

Me too Bjorn, after my mother died when I was nine...
🕯️
That's so sh1t... sorry to hear that.
I’m sorry too…that’s such a tender age to lose a parent. 😢 So hope you have been able to heal as much as possible…🙏🏻❤️
I am also sorry and I hope you have found peace
Thank you so much for this timely video, Bjorn. My daughter ran away from home last Sunday here in Tennessee. My wife and I are frantic to find her and are doing everything possible, working with local and state authorities to bring her home. In the midst of all this grief and stress, your video brought me a small measure of peace for a little bit. Thank you very much for your thoughtful words. We as a world badly need to hear this perspective. Youre absolutely right. The world is full of noise, and it is causing people to lose their way.
Hope she gets back safe and sound. GOT back, I mean.
I live off grid in Spain . The connection with nature is magical .
Everything you say is so right.
Enjoyed this. I work in a bookshop on the main road in a seaside village called Kalk Bay near CapeTown. I have noise 8 hours a day from heavy trucjs, motorbikes, taxis, impatient drivers and the loud babble from people. My solitude and silence has become so deeply important to me. Thank you fir this. Love from Cape Town.
I have found that when you get away from the city lights you can see the night sky and the stars are so beautiful then.
Yes!!!
"In wildness is the preservation of the world." ~ Henry David Thoreau
I live in a town in a house without a garden and I ate a cheese and cucumber sandwich with my first cucumber grown from a bag of seeds bought in Lidl and sown in May. I am contented.
Growing is life, even if you only have a couple of pots as a canvas. 🌱😎
Growing and eating your own food is very calming! Enjoy nature wherever you can. 😊
I'm the same. Little back yard. Plenty of pot's & also sprout seeds & microgreens on my windowsill. Learning & growing despite my advanced age
I live in a redwood forest in Northern California. It is very hot and dry in the summer. I have been supplying a trough of fresh water every day in the summer, for years. I see the same birds, honey bees, squirrels, foxes, skunks and deer drinking and bathing in the trough every day. I love to watch them. Maybe they aren't afraid of me, or maybe they just need the water, but they will come and drink even if I am reading out there.
Water for birds and animals 💕 If only more people would do this. Even in an urban garden little creatures come to drink.
Do you think it's easier for men to create such a life for themselves than it is for women?
Grew up on a ranch in NoCo. Very special place. I have two beds of golden poppies to remind me.
Yep I do have water out for the pigeons on third floor here in prague..I grew up knowing the country side..dad got us our there a lot.
Bjorn is right..I walked a lot in iceland Ireland and Greece in my youth..man that was cool..bravo folks for the comments
I love the sound the wind makes, blowing through the trees..... I have neglected nature... I need to escape also.
Especially the Shea Oak trees. 🙂
I don't know how to put it but your videos put me at ease, i could watch your videos for hours, theyre very relaxing.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Same Here ! ! 💜
It's so invigorating to be in nature I can almost feel it through my phone screen.
Thanks for sharing with us 🫶🏻
Out of je box is the best you can do. I live for 4 monds in hongarie. I lived in holland its to full of people. Whe are emigrate to hungary in feb.24 Whe love the live now. Because whe are living 5 min from the woods. Oure house stands between the forrest. There is a lot of peace becomes in oure heads and body now. This is bether. Whe are so happy now.
Ik ben lichtelijk jaloers!
I'd like to visit Hungary and maybe live there. I'm listening to language videos in preparation.
What part of Hungary do you live in? I love Hungarian countryside. I am the happiest here.
You and I think about things the same way. I am happiest when I am out and living alone, away from society. Even when I'm near society, I'm alone in my mind. I mostly feel that I just don't get any enjoyment from being with most people. They never seem to be doing anything I care about. I pursue my own desires most of the time, alone, and it is fine.
I aam going through a rough spot in life. Your videos have helped me stay grounded for years. I have been going back to your men's mental health videos a lot lately thank you Bjorn for being there and not even knowing it.
Thanks Bjorn, was nice visiting.
Never stop outdooring, guys. Cheers from Poland.
You have found your peaceful place ☺
Clears the mind and lets you see whats important.
Thank you for sharing your life.
Your videos are a pleasure to watch and listen to, Bjorn. Thankyou.
Nature and the forest beat the city in every way.
Thank You Bjorn for Your honesty and love ❤❤❤
I agree, the noise can be deafening. ❤❤.
Especially the planes/or drones constantly circling chucking out trails. Can't get absolute silence. A constant hum
Thanks for sharing your peace with us. Right now, in front of my computer, I'm feeling a little bit like I've been in the woods with you.
I think you are absolutely right, Bjorn.
Thank you Bjorn
Listen to you chat in the woods is very calming. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
In Norway, that´s easy 😊
Thanks for the beautiful message and sharing your woods with us all :)
Nice to see and be with you today in nature. I seek peace now more than ever, so I understand you. I love animals, they are pure at heart. Stay blessed, brother Andreas.🙋♂️
Great Message Andreas, Thank you ,for the Positive Message to start the day ❤, All the best from Scotland
Great message. I feel bad for someone who knows they need this, but can't (or won't) make it happen.
Although I’m caring for mum, who is in her hundredth year, I walk my Yorkshire terrier. and sit in the garden when I can😊Currently , I arm watching the baking apple’s growing on the tree my dad planted years ago. The blackberries are wonderful this year. Blackberry and apple crumble soon! 🙏🏻💚Thanks for your gentle, soothing voice. (From the North of England.)X
I miss my apple trees. Baked apples, crumble and apple sauce, yum! Never complained about the deer having a snack either🇨🇦❤
Bjørn, thank you for the reminder that it’s ok to be different from what society has conditioned us to be; “outside the box” as you say. Perhaps that is why nature is so healing, because we are returning to our natural state outside of all the artificial busyness and noise that so often distracts from what really matters in life
Thank you for this long drink of peace!
I left an aircraft job. I saw how miserable people were in a room with no windows. And people living paycheck to paycheck. Who couldn’t really enjoy life. I went back to my old job of landscaping. Im happier outside! It really does change you mentally and physically. It’s healing to the soul. I live on 20 acres by myself and I love it so much!!
I am glad for your videos Bull we like to hear from you in little ol' southern illinois.
Yet another great lesson. Oh, and as an aside, all of your videos are saved to a folder simply called Peace. Tak
I've never been happier since I moved from living in a house to living in a Lavvu.. The hardest part was making the first step. We're now in a small woodland 😁 winter is tough but I wouldn't change it for anything.
I could never go back, doesn't matter how crazy my family & friends think we are. My partner also made the move with me 🖖🏕️
You sir, just the calm way you talk helps people lower their blood pressure. 😊 thank you for your wisdom.
Thank you, Sir!
I hope there would be a nice day, when my family and I would leave the city far behind to live in the field, near the forest...
Thanks Bjorn from Canada.
Skål, älskade Björn. Du har rätt, tack för dina fina tankar. 😊
There's a difference between city noise, and Natures sounds.💚
This video struck a nerve with me. Probably one of your better videos.
Beautiful video. Thank you for letting us go with you to your local woods & experience it through your eyes.
I enjoy actually touching the bark of trees, take off my shoes and feel the coolness of any body of water, and even run my hand over leaves and grass. It's amazing the different smells after a rain, even the flowers get sweeter. I find that my senses are on hyper-drive while out and helps deepen my connection with nature on a visceral level. Especially having Otis, wanting to get out as much as possible, makes it very enjoyable and always brings a smile to my face. Greetings and all the best to a wonderful weekend from Nova Scotia, Canada!
Wise and true words today , nice to hear them
I live on the side of a mountain, far off the main road. I have wildlife that roams through my yard. It’s wonderful. My element is earth and I feel grounded here in my forest.
I want to escape to the countryside, i live in a city working and trying to save and invest to reach this goal, It may take me 5 - 10 years to get there but every day i dream of escaping and living free, not being exhausted from 40 hour work weeks, for now i live vicariously through videos such as these and for a moment all is calm.
Hello, Bjorn, from Oklahoma, USA. I really enjoy being with you as you walk through your beautiful woods and to hear your words, your thoughts, your wisdom, and to feel your love for nature and the real and simple things in life.
Agree! Become more and more of what you described- about noise and being outdoors in nature.
I also grew up playing in the forest. It's always calling me back.
Thank you for your informative videos. Lady from NH USA
Thanks for another great video Bjorn
I love the calm relaxed delivery. I love Mother Nature as well. And I love when the wild animals don’t see you as a threat because you have been chilling for awhile. They almost start to see you as just a calm resident, minding your own business. Love it!❤
It is so relaxing watching your videos and listening to what you have to say.
I love your calmness and advice, and of course the beautiful scenery. I’m hoping I can retire next year. I’m currently searching for land in the Appalachian Hills of Southeast Ohio.
I absolutely loved this video. It is filled with LIGHT! And so are you, Bjorn.💝🙏💝
15 minutes to get to the woods sounds glorious. Thanks so much for your content! Here in America, it's so easy to get swept up in the hysterical negative media, including videos on social media. I had to take a step back from those but always look forward to your calming, no-nonsense, grounding feedback, support and suggestions.
Take care and Skoal!
Paul Sanders
Much love ❤
I also escaped and explored since being a child!!!
I envy your weather Björn. I would love to be outside enjoying nature... Entirely too hot this time of year.
Ahhhh, the local woods 🙂
'Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards'. Aldous Huxley
Hi. I live in the desert and have livestock. It's hard to get away. I got myself a tent and set it up on the property, just to get out of the house, it's a great "escape", a change of scenery so to speak. After evening chores I can go cook on a fire, read and chill. It's not perfectly quiet, but, better than nothing 😁. Glad I don't live "in town" anymore.
Thanks for constantly taking us to peace and quiet of woods.
I know that feeling😊
That comment about drawing a straight line from where you are now to your grave hit me like a hammer.
I love your inspiring content.
