Love the channel, glad I found you. I feel like I'm sitting in the room with you and we're having a convesation, of course you can't hear me🙂. I'm an older guy, 74 years and I've always had a great sense of humor, life is too short not to.
Another great channel I might suggest is Edible Acres . It’s all about permaculture and raising chickens in Ithaca New York . Thanks for the video . We need to keep our sense of humor 😂🤪
I was going through some stuff not too long ago and a relative told me to just not think about it. I know the intentions were good, but I had to reply “if I don’t think about it, I can’t figure out how to solve it”. Thinking is how problems are solved.
Well said ! Here in Canada dog walker reported a little bit of Ice in front of my little Shack. Got a Bylaw handwritten notice and next day Registered letter from the city :You got 24 Hours to clean up or city crew (at my expense $$$) plus $250 Fine (next time $ 500 !). Across the street they haven't even shoveled the Snow ??? Bought a Ice salt spreader and layed down 30 Lbs ! Then in the Spring/Summer if my the Grass Height is a few Inches too high or any Noxious Weeds then the threatening Bylaw and city letters show up again ?! (Across the street grass is nobody cuts the grass ,(way higher !). If the Trash bins aren't put out correctly, then more bylaw letters start appearing.........etc (also charging me $30 now to park in front of my house or face Fine ???) Canada is the second Biggest Country in the World ??? JIm Canada
Damn. Civilization takes itself too seriously. Small minds always put themselves into positions of power, it's the only way they can feel bigger than they actually are. TC Jim.
Thanks Dharma Master, I think your Right about Boondoggling some Land and take my chances in Newfoundland with the Moose and Polar Bears that are moving South because of Arctic warming. ☯🦌🐹@@wildernesshermit
It’s nice to hear positive stories about people using TH-cam for the good of their mission….instead of selling, generators, and links to Amazon. Love your channel….warming up down here in the valley. A little rainy……stay the course….your doing a great job. Love checking in with you every few days….❤️🌵
There’s been a few that I began following when they had a small number of subs, many I stopped because they lost the essence that attracted me in the first place. One young couple who continue to keep it real have a channel called OutThere. Sadly they don’t get the numbers they deserve- maybe because they DONT use clickbait. As I’ve got older I’m finding much more humour in things; it took me years to find it and I’m not letting it go anytime soon.
Humor is our saving grace. Yes, I think those small channels with real and sincere people are sadly overlooked. But I’ll check out the one you mentioned and maybe others will too. Many thanks.
I love the opening shot of the snow outside!!! 👍🏼👍🏼 I enjoy listening to your perspective on things. I keep an eye out for new posts from you multiple times a week! 👍🏼👍🏼
Been watching Kirsten for years myself. Also been a follower of Martijn Doolard and Donjojohannes (both live in the mountains of Italy and Kirsten featured them a couple of years ago). I think you would really like Johannes as he is a Catholic priest who does some interesting reflections at the end of his videos.
Watched all 9 min of the video 😊 im not living off grid but im living away from the i think second biggest city in the world Davao city Philippines. Not sure how many people to many for me.Samal island here been here 8 months just become to expensive in America no 1 reason 2 my wife wanted to back home i really dont like big crowds never have. About 100,000.00 just on this island im happy to be gone from America just to many problems with our country and i like to try and keep things simple as i can.😊
Just found your channel, watched a few videos, and you're doing a service by having a sense of humor, and providing important information which is actually becoming commercialized... Everything is becoming commercialized... You got a new subscriber brother 💪🏿
Many thanks AM. Yes, everything is becoming commercialized, lifestyles, philosophies and beliefs. Information has become a commodity rather than a method to exchange beneficial ideas.
In Buddhist meditation, when you want to empty your mind of thinking, you apply a label to it. Say to yourself silently, "thinking.". Focus on your breath, in, out, until thinking happens again. For the whole routine, consult your local FPMT-Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition center. They are a Western group of Tibetan Buddhists and have free group classes.
@@wildernesshermit sorry to hear that. online content creators have to deal with stalkers all of the time, they sometimes even get false police reports and a SWAT team shows up at their house putting everyones lives in danger. I am surprised you already got one that fast since your channel is still new. I guess it goes to show how abudnant the issue is, hope ya'll are safe, take care.
I get angry at people who cant take a joke , I also joke about people who get angry .You gotta be able to joke about yourself and you failed endevors.More often than ever people dont use humor, never learned how it heals, They strive for material wealth and noteriety. Anger and humor ensures mental health and wealth. As all emotions , one cant love without capturing the power of emotion . Now and them I joke about past lovers , Sure as hell they joke about me .
Maybe the average viewer is 3 minutes because some new viewers watch a couple of minutes and your subscribers watch the entire video. I’d personally like your videos to be longer or you upload shorter ones more frequently!
@@wildernesshermit yea with youtube i think it averages all the viewers, so if someone just stumbled upon your video, and only listend to a minute, that is counted towards the average watchtime per video. so don't take it personally, we love to hear your wisdom and commentary
Beautiful view out the window, love the snow. Stay warm. 😊
Love that view of snow, thank you!
Thanks, I’m going to do more.
Great to see a new video! I have enjoyed them all. Bring on Laurie!
Thanks for keepin it real. Stars in their own reality show - good one - I will laugh all day with that thought.
I know you have to laugh. There are some 8 billion people in the world and a TH-camr with 400k followers thinks they have the attention of the world.
Love the channel, glad I found you. I feel like I'm sitting in the room with you and we're having a convesation, of course you can't hear me🙂. I'm an older guy, 74 years and I've always had a great sense of humor, life is too short not to.

I’m 61 in Ireland and I love this channel too. 💚🙌
Went to Dublin last summer loved it. You live in a beautiful country…❤️🌵
I love your point of view ❤ God bless ❤
That's a wonderful view and it's great to see you again.
Many thanks.

I'll have so to check that channel.out.
Here til the end. I enjoy your commentary 🙂.
That means a lot because I’d like to do more. Many thanks.
I'm dealing with my ADHD and your channel is very helpful!

Absolutely.
Very nice Thanks again
It's been a gray, gray,gray January
I found I have more gray hair! Worked hard to get them. Sometimes we need more color in life. Keep laughing
Thankyou. You are a calm voice to listen to here in Canada.
What a wonderful thing to hear. Thanks very much.

I could’ve listened for much longer🙂 I really love your channel, it’s like listening to an old friend. Blessings to you from Texas.
Many thanks and blessings in return.

I have enjoyed many of her videos as well. It’s fascinating to see how some people have made a life in such interesting ways.
Love all of your videos and looking forward to more, always stay til the end 😉
Blessings to you, it’s encouraging to hear.

I always look forward to your videos. Cheers.
Many thanks and cheers back at you.

Many thanks Raye.

@@wildernesshermit welcome 🙏
Real people, that's why there is only a few channels I watch ⌚ like yours 😁
'far from the madding crowd' See, I stuck around 'til the end.👍
Yes you did, many thanks.
Thank you for the reprieve.
Our pleasure Bonnie.
Do you mind if you maks a video of your home? If you don't mind. Maybe just around the house and surroundings. Thanks.
We originally considered that but then encountered a TH-cam stalker so we decided against it.
@@wildernesshermit sorry to hear that. online content creators have to deal with stalkers all of the time, they sometimes even get false police reports and a SWAT team shows up at their house putting everyones lives in danger. I am surprised you already got one that fast since your channel is still new. I guess it goes to show how abudnant the issue is, hope ya'll are safe, take care.
Omg! Ok, enough said.
Not safe. I’m vague about where I am, where I work, everything.
Can you recommend any specific Eastern writings that emphasize the need to keep laughing? I know Zhuangzi does, but that is such a cumbersome read!
Nothing specific that I recall Russell. It's more of an implied thing, emphasized by various teachers. Excellent question.

Lol good point.
Anger arises, just don't justify it.
Great way of saying it.

What happened to your teeth? Where did they go? lol Look at you with over 3k subscribers! And so fast too! Good for you! :)
