    This Man Is Exactly what the Government doesn't want you to become.
    Independent living off your own grown food, on your own land.
    Lives on his own solar power, soon to be hydropower aswell.
    He simply brought his land and lives as a free man, absolutely priceless.

    What a wonderfully rich life Kevin leads. He really does have it all (almost....I am sure a good woman is on her way to him). That aside, the planning laws and redistribution of land must be changed and implimented in the UK. Land ownership is out of reach for most people and corporate/historical titled and family possession is not fit for the 21st century. Many young and older people want to live in different ways and without access to European cheap land since Brexit, UK soil needs to be redistributed much more fairly and openly. Being free to build your own dwelling without all of the restrictions and planning barriers also needs to be rethought. Is there a movement in the UK to support/advocate for these changes?

      Hi Sarah, I just read your comment I’m working on a program with a partner to show people how to do this, but effectively you can start off with a minimum of 12.5 acres (5 ha) and you will be able to get the ball rolling if you have a mind to set up a small holding. there’s more to it than just that, but that is the starting point. We are 2/3 of the way through proving our system and will set up a youtube channel and podcast soon. Keep going you WILL Achieve your dreams 😊😊😊😊😊

    This is a lovely way to live, and fair play to this man for achieving his dreams. Having said that, whilst he seems a nice man, there does appear to be some form of arrogance whilst that might come as a shock to some, he seems to be suggesting the way he lives is the best way, its the right way.... especially when he starts saying one step back to one step forward..... actually I could not lead his life because I am useless with my hands, he has man made the majority of his things, not everyone has that gift, he does accept he is fortunate, which he is, but he has had to work for it no doubt about that, but not everyone is blessed with that talent, so my way of living might be seen to him as extreme, but I think it is important to understand the value that EVERYONE brings to the world, not just one way of living...... Good for him though again for achieving his dreams, and leading a life that he is happy with. :)

    Anyway, Thank you for showing your ways and sharing the view! We benefit deeply in living so close to the land.

    Good morning from sunny South Africa. Well done excellent work. What more do you want in life. I truly enjoyed your video. I am so proud of you if all of us can just do a little bit to get a better life. Cheers for now.

    What a lovely man. He's the only one ive watched eho actually came out and said it's hard work. He has everything he needs. I do hope he finds a human partner some day who he will not need to change his life for. He might need a hut for the washing machine. Who like to do laundry in the rain 😊. Well done kevin, lovely place. I think everyone of us can feel the pull of nature away from modern life and convenience.

    All good luck to Kevin and his life in the Woods. He is no burden to anyone and yet the jobsworths of this Country want to stop this way of life. He is not harming anyone, no wonder that this Country is broken and will never recover.

    His got the right attitude towards not expressing his opinions in the community in which he lives, means he's left alone. I hope the council don't give him a hard time on all the non-compliant buildings etc.
