Contentment is the wise man’s gold. It fills your heart with joy and calms your mind with gratitude. If your heart is full and your mind is calm, you have a very good life.
Then u r the most happiest person on the planet 🌏
I watch this video every few months and always cry. I'm so jealous of this man's heart, his generosity of spirit, his contentment. I hope he lives the rest of his life in peace and dies surrounded by the nature he loves.
Perhaps this man is the happiest man in the world. Thank you for showing us the keys to joy in life.
This film highly touched my heart. The shepherd could inspire everyone who live in hectic life of city, of course including me. He hardly imagines that a man watching his gorgeous life is in tears who dwells in just opposite side of earth.
Another documentary film with a Hungarian shepherd reached more than half a million views. A captivating cultural treasure: ruclips.net/video/yZfhjkQzRss/видео.html
You feel the call of heart, Mother Earth.
Absolutely brilliant. We've been running a tiny sheep farm in west wales for 5 years and we have friends just like Evan. Same outlook on life. Always ready to help. They understand and enjoy their lives. They've welcomed us because we are here to farm (in our own tiny way) - we didn't just come here to be tourists. We have to save these small family farms. The quality of their livestock and the care they provide them is second to none. They've taught us so much. It would be a disaster to let their knowledge disappear in lieu of high intensity low quality farming. Thank you for making this documentary!
@@galinarou compared to years ago the use of wool has plummeted. We use too many oil based fibres for clothes and other material now. The expensive wool products toy mention tend to be labour intensive to make hence the cost. Considering how brilliant wool is and how sustainable it’s crazy we’ve let it fall out of fashion in the way we have.
This is beautiful and more truly spiritual than any $1,000 spiritual retreat can give. Tears of joy.
There is nothing wrong with the simple life, especially if you are a good soul like this gentleman. Bless him.
Man is such a gem.Wish there was a gofundme for the chap, so we can send him to China to see the Great Wall.
how beautiful! its taking my breath away
Amazing. It’s left me with a warmth and words of wisdom. ‘I like to be present, polite and helping people’. A wonderful film.
Editing, audio, and filmography all excellent. The team did a great job sharing his story.
I don't know how many times I have watched this. Every time I cry and laugh. Grateful for the feelings in my heart, every time.
Same here...
I had been googling for something to add to a weekly devotion about Psalm 23, and came upon this beautiful story. The glorious countryside and Farmer Davies gentle spirit…. I think Farmer or Shepherd should be a title like Mr or Dr!?
Wonderful! Took me back to visiting my grandparents in the same parish over 60 years ago. Hoping to find Wilf in early 2023, when we're there for 3 months.
I love this beyond words 😍
This made me cry.
its everything a documentary should be!
what an alchemist, transcending circumstances on earth, so below, as above.
Thank you, both to the film makers and to Wilf, who's attitude to life and his beautiful poetic thoughts are inspiring. I feel good having watched this film.
Being a Welsh man myself. Gave me pride watching this video. What a video. A came on my phone just to comment. Simply amazing. Brought tears to my eyes but only of happiness
A life well lived.
A really wonderful short film about Wilf's life on the farm he's lived on all his life, in one of the most beautiful , natural and unspoilt places in the UK. This film has touched my heart
Thank you for letting us live another life for just a moment!
Beautiful this was
Most romantic video i've seen in awhile.
Got to see this at Bolton Film Festival this year - a masterpiece. Mr Cargill is one to watch for sure.
A gem. A poem. A meditation.
Touching, very touching. It puts life in perspective. Lessons for me at the qualities Wild mentions later in the documentary. Be present and polite. A perfect philosophy for living.
An outstanding man and an outstanding film.
Oh wow. Thank-you thank-you. Thank-you.

Yes. Huge thanks for Tim. Another documentary film with a Hungarian shepherd reached more than half a million views. A captivating cultural treasure: ruclips.net/video/yZfhjkQzRss/видео.html

The hardship and sadness of this sort of agricultural life isn't seen in either the labor or its continuance; it's seen in the economic marginality and ultimate collapse brought about by systems and authorities negligent and/or downright hostile to its existence. A wry joke well understood by generations of farmers is that the income returned to their efforts will always be just low enough to guarantee that few will be able to achieve an enviably stable existence, otherwise everyone would want to do it. Alternatively, the option is to industrialize production to such degree as to create hellish, sub-humane conditions for all the living beings involved, and profits for the capital managers behind the formation.
Sadly, all too true...

Until the advent of the motor car, or motor coaches for the non-wealthy, most people in the UK lived and died within 20 miles of where they were born. - Read Laurie Lee's "Cider With Rosie", bone-headedly re-titled "Edge of Day" in the USA.

Does anyone know what he spoons into his breakfast oats?
it's honey
Interesting. Something different living on a farm, NYC is a whole different world, depending what you do I guess.
A poignant view of a way of life. I'd like to recommend the film Sleep Furiously that also deplicts a soon to be lost way of life in the same county.

So slow, had to watch at 1.5x, could prolly go up to 1.75x if you really want to save time, lol
Well done Christian Cargill and the others for the creation 👏 👍
Thank you
