I'm 36, married with no kids. I have already dropped to working just 3 days a week. In truth, even that is too much, I just want to live alone in the wilderness somewhere because I'm tired of people and how messed up society is now. Unfortunately, the UK is broken beyond repair. It's almost as if there was cross-party governmental plan to commit economic and cultural suicide. Our nation is changing at a rapid pace due to mass immigration; within 20-30 years anything resembling the Britain we grew up in will be erased and replaced (or at the very least majorly influenced by) the invading culture and religion. We are a small group of islands that has repelled invasion from many foes throughout history but we can't stop some boats!? Our replacement is by design.
New video loaded for tomorrow night about this very topic. I hear you. It's very bad right now, and it will only get worse unless things change rapidly. If we can't change this sh*tshow, we can change ourselves. You're doing right. A quiet rebellion is still a rebellion.
Unquestionably it's a cross-party demolition job. I'm 58 and work two days/week in a sector I lost all faith in five years ago. Whether it's due to the time of year or because of what we have been subjected to these past five years I am drawn to the philosophy of Albert Caraco.
it’s ok, they’re just 6UILDING 6ACK 6ETTER for that great reset bu$iness which they briefly advertised back in 2020, just before it was turned into just another conspiracy theory. get in zee pod und eat zee bugz, you vill be happy.
Personally, I'm leaving the UK for NZ. No council tax, no TV license, no road tax or car Insurance. A lower tax bracket and better healthcare. Yes housing and food is more expensive BUT you will have greater earning potential.
I return to poland after 20 years in uk ...i am thankful for what i got from uk but this country change a lot ...reasons why i left New coruppt government Dirty cities Cost of living Broken roads Broken NHS Poor House quality Very high knife crime Migrants in dover And finally all my polisch frends left uk all ready ... I have my own house in poland paid of .. All British refugees are WELCOME in POLAND 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Insightful observations. Thanks for sharing. The UK's politicians should study these reasons and also why British people are leaving in droves - for similar reasons.
@@nomadseasonwhat do you mean they should study things? Stop giving these politicians the benefit of the doubt. They know exactly what is going on, and it’s by design. They seek to replace you!!!
I remember when I was younger and so unhappy in my job and said to my father, 'I can see why people choose nott to work'. My dad said, 'more like why people work for themselves'.
The individuals leaving the UK and also the Polish man leaving and going back to Poland after 20 years is telling, isn’t it. What a sad state of affairs when even not just UK born individuals but people who were not born here are leaving in droves!! It has got much worse in this country just in the past 20 years - no wonder people are leaving in a mass exodus. I keep going back to 1981 in my imagination, I was 12, and it is the only thing that keeps me sane !! how different then compared to now. It is heartbreaking. 😢
It is. So true what you say. I left 20 years ago in my first stint abroad. The writing was on the wall and nothing could change it. I've been away and back multiple times, and it just gets worse and worse. People are starting to wake up a bit, but most are still in their apathetic slumber and our political class gets weaker and weaker.
Great video. Being a minimalist, living more simply, saving as much as possible and living more on my own terms, is definitely the direction I've been headed in the last few years. Don't want to be held hostage any longer to the insane rents and cost of everything these days. Working seasonal jobs in US national parks for part of the year, then having lots of time off, has also been a game-changer
It's the purchasing power of our money that's going DOWN, rather than prices going UP. Inflation is the most effective Taxation that states/governments have ever created when they are the only ones permitted to print unlimited 'money'.
You're not wrong on this at all. It's interesting that most people experience this as rising prices. The national debt of the USA and UK is truly staggering. Government should set an example of wise spending yet they consistently borrow their way out of trouble and waste billions on projects that serve no purpose.
This is why I bought land a couple of decades ago, and planted a woodland. Got a part time job and stayed hidden on my acreage until I got lawful residence. I didn't want to fade into a dark retirement with my last job, as so many of my co-workers were heading for. So now I teach natural building with local materials on my acreage, and incorporate art into it. It's a steady, if not easy life, and I'm in a beautiful part of the north UK. I had a vanlifer overwinter in my carpark last year. At 30yo, he was a wreck....buddhist, loads of ideas that he wouldn't follow thru on, a uni dropout, deeply in debt and very needy. TBH he's put me off providing a cold season haven, as there's no telling if they've truly got their shizzle together.
That's brilliant you had the foresight to buy the land. Sounds like a great retirement. It's good you shared your space, but yeah, I guess vetting is important to make sure it's a sustainable and beneficial thing to do. Plenty of great people out there in vans though - I wouldn't write them all off, just get to know a few over a longer period of time to build trust and friendship.
Anychance of telling me were your teaching building with natural materials?,been looking at things like that for my 2 young boys,they NEED to be self suffiecent, for if/when the sh*t ever hits the fan for them ,it also builds confidence
@@lorrainestewart4835 I'm in north Cumbria by the Pennines. I'm still building up my teaching skills on friends, family and locals before I fully open the doors. And I don't stick to standard concepts alone, as they limit innovation. So right now it's 'experiment - prove - consolidate - repeat' until I've a course to run.
@spindelnett6315 nice area! Mum had a caravan in port carlisle for years,im up in sunny glasgow so if you need any guinea pigs to train let me know lol n ill keep an eye out if u get up n running
Just think about the push to limit greenhouse gases via reducing energy production by fossil fuels. The funny thing is the economy is nearly 100% correlated to energy use, so if they go ahead with this plan while things are getting this close to the edge now, things are seriously going to come unstuck. Good luck.
The only way i can survive is ducking and diving, not paying Peter to pay Paul etc.... im facing the bailiffs every other week, but i don't care, i have to survive.
I have a 'professional' career in cyber security and I sit here and often think what was the point? owning a house I'm proud of is an utter pipe dream, It's just constant work and taxed to death. I don't see where my taxes are going, debt for my education, taxes on everything, working for nothing. What am I working for? having a family is a pipe dream and following my passion is unaffordable. Dating is impossible in my generation. It's an utter miserable place to live and work.
Yet, there are solutions to take back freedoms. Depends on what you REALLY want. If you have certain passions, it might be wise to tilt your life in their favour and get away from the system. A lot of nomads begin from your position.
fantastic vlog iv just joined,im 61 live in a narrow boat 12 years now this way of life has been amazing for my mental health also i was able to buy an old openreach van which iv made into a camper.i was at mantor in the peaks for new year with many other van dwellers who i meet at the drove this summer ,amazing lifestyle anybody seeing this and thinking of making the jump take a deep breath beleive in yourself and jump you wont regret it
Thank you for the kind feedback. You have a fantastic lifestyle there fellow nomad. Enjoy. I will join one of those meet ups one day. So refreshing to be around people who embrace freedom in this way.
I’m not sure it’s possible to formulate an understanding of what you’re going to regret not doing, prior to not doing it, because the regret cannot actually constitute itself without first having something to compare itself against, a reference point if you like, as in ‘I’ll regret not doing so and so, because I’ll miss out on the feeling the experience will give me’ and you cannot know that you’ll miss out, or might have missed out, on experiencing that feeling without first having undertaken the experience to realise what feeling it actually gives you! In most cases it’s the regret other people assert they experience by not doing what you’re contemplating doing, which you take on as an assumptive position that you will experience the same regret!
I know, I just know, deep down that I would have regret in later life if I did not do something - take a risk, take an opportunity. It is like a conversation with the future self in the present moment. In these cases, we often want to experience the feeling of going after something rather than it merely being about realising the actual outcome - that is something that can be the basis for regret - not trying.
Good head on ya shoulders man, I’ve lived off Grid for years now best move I ever made. No totally free but definitely slightly less of a slave these days.
I see lots of nomads that have done it - travel and home school etc, or the part-time nomad life is also a good path to more freedom. Each nomad life is different and designed in a unique way.
Interesting though...and I'm not sure even they can truly break free. I think it also depends on the types of system we define ourselves as part of. The super rich are tied to a very different system to most of us and they can be at the mercy of systemic factors beyond themselves if they put a foot wrong.
It will get worse because the government over spends not just on core services like NHS, Teachers all that. But they are also funding Ukraine war, Net Zero commitments and subsidies. Governments raise money in 3 ways. 1. Taxes. 2. Debt aka bonds/guilt sales which interest rates are dictated by the market not really central banks. 3. Inflation i.e increasing the money supply. This devalues the currency giving illusion of higher asset prices and cost. The government has a reckless energy policy and chasing the impoverishing net zero. You can't have industry with poor energy policies. Go ask the car manufactures who are closing factories in UK/EU as the energy cost is so high they can only add the cost to customers so much. They say we have a £22.5bn black hole, this is the same amount they are using on unproven carbon capture technology in the UK. If the government ran the beaches they would run out of sand. The UK and EU is plagued by over regulation. Things like price caps destroy competition. Food will be more expensive as they are pushing carbon tax on farmers and food companies. Flights are also being added with another "environmental tax" I live in a two tier ecconmeny I'm on my boat right now. My friends here are 10+ years older. They have white collar jobs, houses paid off shares and all that stuff pretty much debt free. My home friends (im 38) they are on their first marriages one-two kids in. Their entry level jobs pay they are being crushed by higher cost of living. Some even live with their parents and have children, so 3 generations. I want to flee the UK and I will do. My aim is to get a van next and convert it so when I move the boat abroad, I can fly back do some work and use the van. Then fly out of here again. Then eventually have a home stead somewhere warm, low taxes.
Yes, it's only going in one direction. It is great that you are thinking ahead on all this and designing your nomad life with some serious intent. I've done much the same and I feel much better for it. Boat life sounds amazing. So many different ways to live and experience the world yet people fixate on bricks and mortar. This is not the way we used to be way back in the day. So many people fleeing the UK, I'm not sure what's going to be left of it in a few years....
I have a conspiracy-theory to share: I personally don’t believe in the excuses for energy price rises we’ve been fed by successive governments over the last 15 years; I believe that governments colluded with energy companies in secret meetings where they told energy companies to hike their prices considerably so that consumers can’t afford to use much energy thereby reducing UK’s carbon-footprint.
its a cost of government crisis, not a cost of living crisis, it is unbelievably simple when looked at, were living through a socialist/marxist revolution only on an international scale as opposed to a national scale
Re permission for annual leave: have you ever had a business and people below you? I guess you haven't. When there is a schedule, patten of work, that the existence of the business and pay to the workers depends on the continuity of the service - of course you need to plan it ahead and sync your absence with the needs of the company or you have no job. Nobody is holding you there though. You are free to leave and live on the beach if it is allowed to reside on that beach. Go fishing and eat sea grass... get the solars on the roof so you don't need to pay for electricity... live from the thin air if you wish, but make sre you pay due taxes. I guess you still use public roads to move around with your van. Maintenance of the roads also costs money, as does healthcare if you ever need a doctor or a dentist. Or police, if your van got vandalised, or fire service, if it was set on fire... also your rubish needs to be taken away from some point where you leave it.
Thanks for your comment, and if money was spent wisely and efficiently in those areas, I don't think too many people would have a problem with it. Yet, it is not. We have had astronomical waste in the UK over decades and no-one is held to account for it. Re point on annual leave.There are other ways to approach that, and in high trust companies, you will find them. This also connects with remote work, hybrid work, and other practices that allow for enhanced freedom of movement. For service-based workers, we're talking more about conituous service provision, but there too are different ways - personal and flexible schedule management, more autonomy over routines, etc. The broader concept of freedom is where my remarks on this came from. We were born into an abundant world yet for some reason many people are tied to a system built on meaningless work and wage slavery. It is worth some reflection whilst we're here...
Yeah, a lot of that is coming back to bite. I note also the opportunity that enabled for people to do a life review and make changes to create better lives for themselves. A lot went through some big changes.
So, long story short - work towards the future you want? Well ofc. We work To earn the right to work To earn the right to buy Ourselves the right to live To earn the right to die.
That's a nice and factual song. Of course, most people don't know who they are or what they want though - those are the first challenges to overcome. It's harder than it sounds.
There’s no point to regret. Only for learning and growth and change. If someone isn’t happy or accepting of annual leave and weekends off, they can leave and let someone else have that job. In the 60s ‘tune in and drop out’ was common. It didn’t last long. People need to earn or steal. Some live off benefits and if they can work, surely that’s a form of stealing as well.
True, we all have to make our way in this world. Though the 'system' seems almost anti-human in a lot of ways. Many people cannot (their perception) opt out and that is not a pleasant reality to experience.
@ we’ve had soft times for a short while ( proportionally) and now we’re heading into harder times. It’s always been the case that life is a struggle, but some people I know have high expectations. The reality is that no one cares and everyone has to find their own way and support themselves. Everyone can succeed if they want, but what success looks like is different for everyone
A native American Indian once said to me..."aye up lad, does tha' lake black puddin's?" and of course he belonged to the Cleckheaton tribe of Nevada. My point is, a bird in the hand, gather's no moss, which is why every Saturday afternoon, while I was on my weekly pub crawl, my Aunty Maud always asked me to pop into the hardware shop and fetch her a Gallon of Pink Paraffin, a Maffu Fly Strip...and a new Gas Mantle for the cat. At the rime I was seeing a woman called Emma Royd...who suffered from haemorrhoids, and she was a right pain in the arse. And so, on behalf of Dolly Parton & his Orchestra, may I wish you a good night's sleep, and don't forget... Bees are in the pantry Haddocks in the tree Cat's are eating buttered scones Fresh from Peterlee.
Comment of the day. So much wisdom in this Mr Trent. I don't like black pudding though - it pollutes a good fry up and is just all kinds of wrong. All the best to your Aunty Maud. Reminds me of Aunty Maggie's homemade remedy, which is guaranteed never to fail.

Flights are also being added with another "environmental tax"

Maybe not. Probably wise to focus on what we can control and influence in our own lives. A quiet rebellion.
its a cost of government crisis, not a cost of living crisis, it is unbelievably simple when looked at, were living through a socialist/marxist revolution only on an international scale as opposed to a national scale
That is a very interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.
So true ❤
Thank you.

Re permission for annual leave: have you ever had a business and people below you? I guess you haven't. When there is a schedule, patten of work, that the existence of the business and pay to the workers depends on the continuity of the service - of course you need to plan it ahead and sync your absence with the needs of the company or you have no job. Nobody is holding you there though. You are free to leave and live on the beach if it is allowed to reside on that beach. Go fishing and eat sea grass... get the solars on the roof so you don't need to pay for electricity... live from the thin air if you wish, but make sre you pay due taxes. I guess you still use public roads to move around with your van. Maintenance of the roads also costs money, as does healthcare if you ever need a doctor or a dentist. Or police, if your van got vandalised, or fire service, if it was set on fire... also your rubish needs to be taken away from some point where you leave it.
Thanks for your comment, and if money was spent wisely and efficiently in those areas, I don't think too many people would have a problem with it. Yet, it is not. We have had astronomical waste in the UK over decades and no-one is held to account for it.
Re point on annual leave.There are other ways to approach that, and in high trust companies, you will find them. This also connects with remote work, hybrid work, and other practices that allow for enhanced freedom of movement. For service-based workers, we're talking more about conituous service provision, but there too are different ways - personal and flexible schedule management, more autonomy over routines, etc.
The broader concept of freedom is where my remarks on this came from. We were born into an abundant world yet for some reason many people are tied to a system built on meaningless work and wage slavery. It is worth some reflection whilst we're here...
New sub, look forward to following your journey here 👍
Thanks. 😃
it`s the cost of lock down !
Yeah, a lot of that is coming back to bite. I note also the opportunity that enabled for people to do a life review and make changes to create better lives for themselves. A lot went through some big changes.
Nature? Are you not aware of how much man made manipulation of the atmosphere there is ???😂
I am indeed aware.
So, long story short - work towards the future you want? Well ofc.
We work
To earn the right to work
To earn the right to buy
Ourselves the right to live
To earn the right to die.
That's a nice and factual song. Of course, most people don't know who they are or what they want though - those are the first challenges to overcome. It's harder than it sounds.
Im similar to you i need a bit of exitement or some thing to look forward to all the best to you
Thank you for the kind words. 😃

There’s no point to regret. Only for learning and growth and change.
If someone isn’t happy or accepting of annual leave and weekends off, they can leave and let someone else have that job.
In the 60s ‘tune in and drop out’ was common. It didn’t last long. People need to earn or steal. Some live off benefits and if they can work, surely that’s a form of stealing as well.
True, we all have to make our way in this world. Though the 'system' seems almost anti-human in a lot of ways. Many people cannot (their perception) opt out and that is not a pleasant reality to experience.
@ we’ve had soft times for a short while ( proportionally) and now we’re heading into harder times. It’s always been the case that life is a struggle, but some people I know have high expectations. The reality is that no one cares and everyone has to find their own way and support themselves.
Everyone can succeed if they want, but what success looks like is different for everyone
Totally agree - success is different for everyone.
A native American Indian once said to me..."aye up lad, does tha' lake black puddin's?" and of course he belonged to the Cleckheaton tribe of Nevada.
My point is, a bird in the hand, gather's no moss, which is why every Saturday afternoon, while I was on my weekly pub crawl, my Aunty Maud always asked me to pop into the hardware shop and fetch her a Gallon of Pink Paraffin, a Maffu Fly Strip...and a new Gas Mantle for the cat.
At the rime I was seeing a woman called Emma Royd...who suffered from haemorrhoids, and she was a right pain in the arse.
And so, on behalf of Dolly Parton & his Orchestra, may I wish you a good night's sleep, and don't forget...

Comment of the day. So much wisdom in this Mr Trent. I don't like black pudding though - it pollutes a good fry up and is just all kinds of wrong. All the best to your Aunty Maud. Reminds me of Aunty Maggie's homemade remedy, which is guaranteed never to fail.

Immigration
Good point.
Pull the ejection handle
A lot of people are. We're losing a lot of great people to other countries, The stats on net migration are shocking. Thanks for the comment.
@nomadseason When you hear rumours of a projected 70% deaths in Western countries for 2025 I can't blame ppl for wanting to escape
It’s going to get a lot worse so buckle up
Depends where you work. I book my holiday and that's that. Better business practise is the key. The government can't help you.
It does depend on work situation. Better business practices would do a world of good right now. Thanks for your comment.
There's is no such thing called "cost of living crysis" but there is "cost of stupid decision making crisis"
Agree, wholeheartedly. Lots of stupid decisions and many more yet to be made.

Thank you for the kind words.
All part of the big plan ! ... i've noticed this for the last forty years !!!
Saw this coming in slow motion. If it's a big plan, it's an effective one, unfortunately.
Awkward silence 🫣regrets I have few but to few to mention 🤔
Thanks for sharing that. Seems like you're in a good place. Great stuff.
That's why we moved by the coast 👍
