Thanks Kev , good little video. I look forward to your vids and always enjoy them. I am a nearly 70 year old man , lame from arthritis and living alone on a state pension. Out in the world I have become more or less invisible. No-one notices me and no cares. I don't say that for pity , its just a fact. Its how I choose to live. I enjoy listening to you. You speak to me. My main pastime in the last few years has been riding the council buses to nowhere in particular. You have motivated me. I've just bought a little old van (Transit Connect) , I will buy insulation and wood this week and do my best to become a van-lifer. Thanks for the motivation Kev, stay strong ......... illegitimi non carborundum: 🙂
Hi Neil, make sure with your arthritis that a connect will be suitable for you. Living in a van is very very cool but only if you are comfortable, remember here in the UK you will have a fair bit of rain to contend with. You might be better off going for a taller van, I would hate you to fail at this cos the van was wrong for you. My first van was a Ford transit, I loved that old dust bucket, but it hurt my back so bad as I couldn't stand up properly in it. I wish I still had my old passenger ambulance, but I got too sick at the time so I had to let her go ... But now I would love a van again, but it would have to be a high top and lwb, and I would stay with it. I really hope you are able to live in a van, it's a lovely way to live. All the very best for the future.
Hi Kev, we’re in Australia, we’ve been following you and Rupert from the beginning, we take something positive from every video you make, so thank you. Take care, hopefully the brain fog will lift soon🤞
Hi kev,,I'm a 57 Yr old bricklayer,,I've only had brain fog after having the covid jabs,, your a fab inspiration to us,,you keep everything simple,,my philosophy of Ife...would live to meet you and Rupert...you are the diamond geezer.❤
Hi Kev, For me Sometimes it Feels like It’s All in a Whirrl 😵💫 - I Spent Most of my Life Rushing around, in the Thick of it, Spinning all the Plates, 3 Mortgages etc etc and in the End I just Had to take a Step back and Breathe - I love Walking, Being in Nature is a Great way to Unwind ATB Brother ✌🏻👍🏻
We live in Australia Kev, we love your videos and we love how genuine you are and sharing your experiences with others makes us feel grateful, to be able to follow along means a lot, so thank you ❤
walking in nature always blows the cobwebs away, keep doing what you are doing and you will get there, slowly slowly catchy monkey, we are all behind you Kev, you and Rupert, keep warm and safe🦮
We’re enjoying watching you try and start a new life for yourself. Some of us are in the same position. It’s not easy but we take one step at a time ✌🏻
Hari OM Nature is a great balancer - especially when you have the right clothing to match it! I use the Qimic Gimbal - it's only forty quid and is no fuss. I love how Rupert commands the bed!!! YAM xx
Nature is the great healer, whenever down it just makes all those problems in life fade away. the bs in life keeps coming but we have a great escape in Nature. Glad your channel is growing kev you deserve success.
Hey Kev-please look into diesel particulates. I know you recently installed a diesel heater and there is a lot of information available about the damage diesel can have upon one’s health. Warmest wishes!
If you have a 0.5x magnification setting for the camera, you may find that by using it the image is more stable. You would appear slightly further away from the camera but shouldn't be too much. Nice walk and talk Kev.
if one shoots with a small crop in mind, any current video editing software ( the free with a mac iMovie editor for example) can run through the footage and stabilize it while one has a cup of tea. It works well.
Good on ya m8, you are a great lad, I have started my journey 1 is helping Portuguese speakers to learn English, and another is my vlog, counting the days to leave London and go to the Bush up north somewhere, goal achieved, you have motivated me to continue as I was very demotivated, thanks m8. May the force be with you!
Just found your channel and am enjoying the stories your sharing. Have just subscribed. Enjoyable to listen to. Very interesting especially your van life and set up. Cheers from Australia.
Well done kev keep up the good work. I look forward to your video s each time you bring them out. You have done so well with your channel. Best wishes Geoff 👍
Good to see you kev your videos help distract me from my own issues, glad you've got a good winter coat you need to stay nice and warm, keep safe and well
Just found your channel and subscribed. It's great to see an older presence on TH-cam. There are too few of us. We are only weekend Warriors but love being away in our can with our two dogs. We can see the day coming when our landlord tells us to get out.
Kev my friend. Keep up the good work mate. You're a genuine guy and people will appreciate that. Just be true to yourself and don't change mate. We all get brain fog buddy, myself included. Normally occurs when there's lots to think about and when we become overloaded with stuff. It's pretty normal Kev and one of the main positives is to recognise this and not stress about it. It's normal buddy. Great to see that the jacket from your kind friend is working out for you mate. Best wishes to you and Rupert from me and my missus.
Kev you are really inspirational. You sound weary on this video and I hope with all my heart that you get where you need to be soon, just keep on pushing forward. This unit is a mill stone round your neck I feel. We used to do the car boots and markets but in the end it became unbearable and we just got rid of everything and cut our losses. I was able to get a couple of days work in a farm shop which I loved. Like you say we don’t need much as long as we have enough for food, water a roof over our heads and warmth we are as rich as can be. Thank you Kev, it will work out love. See you in the next one.
Dont know what it is about your videos Kev....your lack of pretention....lack of drama over nothing. They are just enjoyable like we are having a cuppa over a kitchen table and a chat. I look forward to you getting rid of at least one of your containers Kev.....I look forward to you moving forward once these chains are off your neck. In the meantime its lovely spending time. Cheers, 👍🇦🇺 We are heading into summer over here.
😀my dog doesnt like his coat either. The jack Russel i had he hated his coat. He hung his head in shame 😅I think it was not cool for him to be seen out in it 😂 the jack I have now doesn’t really like it either. Keep going on the unit clear. You can do it. Think of the achievement and relief once its done. Thanks for taking us on your walk.
On the camera shake, I actually think it adds realism to the video, who wants perfect conditions! Yeah I walk every day with my dog too, either on the streets & trails or up in the mountains, nothing clears ‘brain fog’ like the fresh air .
One summer I lived on spaghetti noodles with tuna, hot sauce, and a scoop of mayo to hold it together. High protein, low cost...your meal made me think of those days and smile. I really enjoy your videos.
I know you want to improve the TH-cam gear kev. We men just love doing that sort of thing. Truth is though I just listen to you for the natter. You cud have a couple of bunny girls or a stroboscope but I only look at the screen to see Rupert or something you tell us to look at. The good stuff is yourself mate. Try and keep healthy and the channel going, Pete
Hi Kev, sure you are going to get everything sorted - just needs time and determination and you have that! Dont beat yourself up if it takes a little longer either - must try and find the joy in every day - it is there!! Being in nature is the number one best way to have your mind peaceful; Keep up the good work! 😄🦮
Enjoyed this update! The sounds of where you are, the sights, your conversation about goals for your channel... looking forward to how it unfolds! Best to you, Kev!
Inspirational stuff Kev, been looking at hitting the road myself and it’s been great to follow your journey. Your Rupert reminds me of my dog (no longer with us) makes me smile ☺️ All the best, Bob 👍
Ive just retired from 37 years in the auction industry. Specializing in heavy plant and equipment. That was sept 2023. Its a massive change. Massive. I was always in “arrow mode”. 22 years ago a mate of mine (lecturer at leister uni in ornatholgy etc) said “why dont you take up bird watching? It will slow you down, you travel and there are great clubs and facilities. So I did. Time gets away and for the past 12 years i didnt do much. However, i got invited to a bird walk, and then another, then landcare group. Last weekend i spent 2 days learning about insects, invasive weeds and spent a further day with bird experts. It keeps you fit, focused, reduces that brain fog (which i experience). Im currently looking at campervan options too 😊. Here in Australia the landcruiser troopcarrier or Hiace 4x4 van. Keep up the videos Kev and buy a pair of binoculars and a bird book 👍
I had brain fog for years where i couldn't think straight, concentrate or focus properly, it really effected every aspect of my school and working life. It wasn't until my late 30s that I found the cause after doing an elimination diet and found that gluten (in wheat and oats for me) was the cause. One I eliminated them my whole life turned around for the better. Not saying this is the cause for everyone but maybe it will help someone.
Hi Kev it is wonderful to see you & Rupert again, keep up the great work hopefully you can get those containers sorted and behind you by the end of the year, I believe that your YT channel will be a great success soon , keep at it m8 have a wonderful night and day tomorrow. Thanks for sharing God Bless you and Rupert
Kev just set this new channel up about vanlife with a macaw and drone followed you on my other channel for a while any tips on editing and content plus getting subscribers would be helpful thanks in advance
Hi Simon, I'm no expert, I'm winging it, but I just looked at a couple of your videos and your editing is better than mine! The one piece of advice I will give you, is get your face on camera...people connect more when they can see who is behind the channel. Get the parrot on the camera..let people see your van build...tell them your story. Hope this helps a bit, but keep going, try different things, it takes time to learn this stuff, the answer isn't in the editing...it's in the content!......Kev
I left a great long comment about brain fog and how to reduce it. I could leave a great long comment on all the poisons and brain-killing substances in your poisonous canned-and-processed-seed-oil meal. Why bother?

Yes don’t let the barstools grind you down 🤪
Hi Neil, thanks so much for sharing this...very inspirational for me and others i'm sure....Kev
Wow Neil, that’s such a cool plan. I think you’ll meet others who will talk to you. Maybe one day we’ll see you in your Transit. Best of luck!

If there was more people like you in the world it would be a much nicer place .
Great video Kev, it looks nice there.. Awee, Rupert is soooo cute, hes enjoying his walk.
Dont worry about brain fog i get it all the time😂
That walk available to you is better than most millionaires have time for. I think you're convincing me I need an old dog to get me walking outdoors.
Me 2🐕🤔
We live in Australia Kev, we love your videos and we love how genuine you are and sharing your experiences with others makes us feel grateful, to be able to follow along means a lot, so thank you ❤

Nature is a great balancer - especially when you have the right clothing to match it! I use the Qimic Gimbal - it's only forty quid and is no fuss. I love how Rupert commands the bed!!! YAM xx
Thanks for sharing Yam...Rupert always gets the best spot!
You’re doing great Kev, I love listening to your videos. Life is not easy that’s for sure.

Thanks for sharing this Phil....Kev
Have you tested for Celiac Disease or NCGS? Gluten is usually the biggest cause of brain fog & most do not realise they have an issue.
Good luck
One day at a time.
Hi Kev it is wonderful to see you & Rupert again, keep up the great work hopefully you can get those containers sorted and behind you by the end of the year, I believe that your YT channel will be a great success soon , keep at it m8 have a wonderful night and day tomorrow. Thanks for sharing God Bless you and Rupert

Cheers Kev
A question kev, where's this place your trying to get to next. It might be starting you in the face .✌️☘️
Hi, It's TH-cam, and yes it is staring me in the face👍....Kev

You ok Kev?
I'm ok Frank, just tired...Kev
Zoom it out 2.5 Kev You’re too close to the camera 👍
1st🎉
Thanks for sharing My friend.
Brain fog is mostly the diet you eat kev, ultra processed is the main culprit, clean the diet up son 😊
I left a great long comment about brain fog and how to reduce it.
I could leave a great long comment on all the poisons and brain-killing substances in your poisonous canned-and-processed-seed-oil meal.
Why bother?
Fantastic video Kev , thank you pal. I’m 72 now but in way I think what you’re doing is fabulous, I’m jealous.😊
