Man. Just imagine more people living this way of life. Taking care of your body and mind, eating well, caring for animals, nurturing your environment, respecting nature and all its inhabitants, creating your safe haven, listening to your body and eliminating anything that doesn’t serve you. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ❤
I also am HSP, highly sensitive person. Am 75 now. For so many years thought there was something wrong with me. Happy to know you have discovered what works for you. In my experience, once HSP's realize how easily they can be overwhelmed life gets much easier as we tend to simplify and limit outside energies especially the negative. More power to you young man! From an old lady who struggled to learn what you already practice.
if you want to be happy take up your Bible and see what Good things God has done for you so that you can have eternal life if you believe which involves keeping His commandments
My theory is that throughout history, HSP became priests, nuns, monks, and temple workers. They sought refuge behind temple walls and high on mountain tops.

This video made me slow my mind down. It reminded me of what’s really important. This is what life is supposed to be and feel like. Thank you for sharing this
@@gazoakleychef yea but I dont get it so you grow ur own stuff eat but the whole life style is proped up by being a social media influencer! no one paying you to grow food or doesnt look like ur making much off homesteading... just a way too flawnt that you had ever thing handed too u in life like the house and land!
Bad comparison. It is fairly easy for anyone to have a garden and cook your own meals, even if you live in an apartment, you can do it. Comparing to Lamborghini is apples and oranges. I guarantee you if someone gave you an option between a Lambo and showed you a garden with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots etc and said you can cook your own meals you'd take the Lambo in a HEARTBEAT. Be real.
Thank you for mentioning that this way of living is a privilege and a luxury. Not all of us make passive income. I would also like to note that rural living is often romanticized. In reality it can be a bit isolating, full of physical labor, and not convenient in certain aspects. Life is about choosing your hard. So it’s up to you to choose what difficulties you wish to face in life.
You say it can be isolating, I say it can be much more peaceful than in a city You say its full of physical labor, I say it keeps you healthy. You say its not convenient, I say its much more convenient, because you can relax much better after hard work, and nobody interrupts your regeneration phase. Life is not about chosing your hard. Life is very easy and too short when you enjoy it. Just my opinion.

Man i can picture you so well being an old man, still going to your garden and harvesting your food with so much joy, everything a bit slower but still so fit and healthy. Nothing less I wish for you! You are really inspiring 😊
Perfect lifestyle!! Was called too old at 50! Started training in crumbling garage lifting rocks doing pushups on paint cans,no special diet..got ripped af at 53 years old!!!
Thank you Gaz for showing what’s possible. I’ve been taking my health and wellness very seriously these past few years, and this lifestyle you’ve modeled here is exactly what I envision myself stepping into and I just want to say thank you for being that example for us as men. Cheers from the US brother 🙏🏽
Gaz. Mate. You're one of the most humble, kind, stylish and fittest men I've seen on TH-cam. The way you live and what you exude says it all. Thanks for the grounded inspiration. All the best to you.
This man is literally living my dream life… as a single woman living in the Caribbean I have had some challenges to get there but every day with the grace of god I will get there. … you sir make my heart smile, I appreciate you.
I felt called out with the office job and kid but it makes me happy to see you enjoy your different way of life. So positive and healthy. It inspires me to do better with the resources I have.
Gaz - your videos are some of the best, most pure videos on the internet. I forget to check back, but every time I do and sit down to watch one of your videos I'm blown away about how wonderful and enriching they are, like a warm hug. all the best
Be honest, we all need to try to live more like Gaz. Whatever small steps we can take to get there, we should take them, however long it takes, thanks for showing us the way bro.
Absolutely wonderful way to live. Connected to nature,animals,gardens,and doing those great workouts. Most folks today are totally lost in needless things on their smartphones.
I normally don't comment but have been watching you for a while, but really when you started filming your gardening journey! Great learning your recipes with what you grow! I really appreciate the youtube channels with experienced cooks showing how they use veggies from the garden. I'm fermenting my second batch of homegrown tomatoes to make salsa with them, it's so yummy!!
Gaz, I solute your ability to be vulnerable as a man by saying on a public forum how stress impacts your well-being and that you're a sensitive male. It's incredibly SEXY, empowering, and inspiring to see someone taking action to suit their own personal success & happiness. 🌿
This video truly showcases the joy of living sustainably and taking care of both personal health and the surrounding environment. The focus on homegrown food, exercise, and connecting with the community inspires me to adopt a more positive lifestyle!
No it's not :P this is a brainwashed video of thinking veggies are good for us. They are poison for the body! He is so sensitive because he gets more toxic with more vegetables. Look up Darko Velcek.
No plastic in a car, camera, greenhouse, milk caps, athletic clothes…….. there is nothing wrong with using plastic but single use plastics should be avoided when possible
thanks for the kind commets my friends, I appreciate the support. I remade my christmas cookbook & its just come out! if you want to support please click this link, my mum will send a copy worldwide to you 👨🌾 www.gazoakleychef.com/books/plantsonlyholidays/
I always watch your videos and enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Also many thanks to Tom for the awesome filming he does. Every video made gets better and better. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The simple life where you get to do the things you love and focus on your health and overall wellbeing is priceless. It's what I aspire to have one day!
I’m new to you and I thought I’ll just watch this half naked man sitting at a table in the sun! Glad I did - what a lovely experience meeting you and seeing that fabulous garden and food. thanks Gaz
This is truly inspiring! Living in harmony with nature, growing your own veggies, and creating such delicious meals-what a beautiful and fulfilling way of life. Your video feels like a breath of fresh air, reminding us of the simple joys of slowing down and connecting with the earth. Absolutely love it! ❤
I love your life!! I told my family this is the way to live: grow your food, pick it fresh and enjoy it. Being in nature and gardening daily is wonderful!!! I told them this before you recorded this video. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I don’t think it’s extreme at all.
if you want to be happy take up your Bible and see what Good things God has done for you so that you can have eternal life if you believe which involves keeping His commandments
I incorporate these things too, exercise, meditation, cooking healthy vegan food, and spending time in nature. These are my must do things as an empath/sensitive it keeps my energy high vibing and nourishes me. ❤much peace
@@gazoakleychefyou are very genuine and it pleases me so much to see a young man in your situation, I keep on telling my daughters to watch and be inspired . I’ve gifted 2 of your books to my youngest . Thank you 🙏
Such a beautiful video as always. I love that you have a sense of the things that bring you joy. For me, it’s the beach and a whiff of the salt air. Such a grateful gift.
I love that you acknowledge your privilege and you're so aware of the beauty in your life. Whilst I have an office job and don't have a home gym or veggie garden, this video definitely motivates me to incorporate more healthy habits into my life in a way that is realistic for me. I quit alcohol a month ago and have been vegan 13 years but need to work on my consistency with exercise and reduce to having max one takeaway a month.
Thank you very much Gaz for the pinch of salt ❤ as a healthcare professional I sometimes really struggle to get my Life together but I manage to cook homemade meals almost everyday and workout like ,3-4xtimes 20-30mins. And i keep ot up. In the Future a dream of mine is my own Garden, of course🎉
I have subconscious anxiety, I am tense and feeling concerned all day even though I am perfectly functioning adult and I can have fun. Therapy says I must go back to basics, eat healthy, drink water, sleep well, exercise and do mindfulness activities. Thank you for the inspiration, I try to change my lifestyle for the better and your video came as a god send. I remember when you were in the city and doing recipe videos! How far you have come!
Watching you from Argentina, a country where had I not come cross this video I would have never thought this lifestyle and livelihood were possible. There is nothing to do but sending my congrats to you, in fact the video completely changed my perspective. Really grateful for having discovered your channel.
Having land has always been real wealth. That is why the Merchant Class wanted the peasants off the land through the Enclosure Movement during the Industrial Revolution. They viewed the average man living subsistently off the land as “inefficient” and a scourge to eliminate. The Powers That Be convinced us that land and subsistence living is a bother, better to be a wage slave. A piece of land to call your own is precious AND it is a privilege because it is a piece of the only known biosphere capable of sustaining complex life in the Universe. Thus, we have a responsibility, if we do have land (and even if we do not), to be good stewards of that precious biosphere. Mr. Oakley, you are doing a wonderful job. It is joyful to witness.
I am from Hungary but I live in the UK but I know this exactly happened with the hungarian peasants - The government took everything from them, land, animals etc, because they wanted them to depend of "the modern society" and spend all of their money in supermarkets etc, make the rich even richer
Oh Gaz :-) I have followed your channel from almost the very beginning and I have LOVED it all - and I feel privileged, as Im sure many do, to have been witness to your evolution. In a way the pandemic was a blessing in disguise for many - showing the way forward more clearly. Who we were and what we actually need in life to be happy and do our best for the world. Love where you're at now - it's.beautiful. Thanks Gaz
My dearest friend, you are so lucky. I could have lived like you in central Portugal with my children and my beautiful wife. But instead I lost it all and ended up alone again in little Belgium, working in health care, doing hours and hours of hard physical and mental work! Earning just for my family who still live in Portugal...once in a while I end up in the country side and that is the moment I become alive again, but my life has bin a strugle for years now! I agree that the way you live is an adventure and I would recoment this way of living your life to everyone! Keep it going, you are so lucky
@@1lifemechanics A great financial crisis and struggling with myself as a man and father and finally all the love that was left between me and my partner died slowly.
I can imagine the taste of the food you make, the freshness of the colorful vegetables, the textures of the ingredients, the different flavors of the vegetables and herbs and the nuttyness of the legumes. It's healing and inspiring. I'm so happy with your videos
No, you're right to crush on him, he's actually perfect. Like MAX husband material, but alas, a woman would probably disrupt the peace 😂 she'd have to be an absolute angel to be good enough for this man, no wonder he stays solo.
Love this Gaz! And love your attitude too, it’s great to hear you acknowledge that everyone has a different routine and responsibilities and to take it all with a grain of salt. You inspire me all the time to cook amazing nutritious food, to get in to the garden, and also to move my body when I maybe don’t feel like it. So thank you so much for showing us all your beautiful life that you have carved out. It’s been such a pleasure watching you and your garden bloom over the years
You live a beautiful life Gaz. I can see it takes self-discipline and committment. You are showing up for yourself every day. You reap what you sow! Thank you for sharing, you have a wonderful home (and the garden of dreams!)
He has many people helping him look good. It couldn’t be done alone. We need to surround ourselves with those that help us live the way we want to. All about conscious choices. ❤
I am happy (and jealous) to see you creating and working in your garden. I'm happy to see a young man starting this type of journey at your age. I wish I would have started 20-30 years ago myself. My garden journey stared by learning about plants for natural dyes and has expanded into learning about the medicinal uses along the way. Journey on!
Hello Gaz, it’s so wonderful to see that you have awakened. To see you in touch with all the wonderful plants and herbs God has created is so inspiring, and to see you at peace with yourself makes me happy ❣️ I been following you as a fan for the last three years. I want to say keep up the good work you’re doing, I pray that my daughter will someday meet someone like you 🌹
As I'm traveling this evening, I am listening to your videos as I go. Thank you so much for sharing your passion for amazing vegan recipes and for healing your body with all of us
Este es el mejor regalo de vida que se puede regalar uno mismo, abrirse a un estado de conciencia más amplio y respetuoso con lo que nos rodea, disfrutar de los placeres que nos da la naturaleza,y los autocuidados ...amigo somos afortunados por elegir vivir asi❤
I love watching your videos! They always inspire me and help life me up when I’m feeling stuck….. I love watching you harvest then create amazing recipes! Again inspiring me to eat in that close to nature while food way…..What an amazing life you have created and what an amazing soul you are xx
Another great video! It would be really interesting to hear from Tom and learn how his food habits have changed since filming/editing your videos. Does he make some of your dishes at home? Any favorites?
you have a wonderful Natural LIFE! and FREE! and sooooo healthy! thank you for sharing and INSPIRE us all for a simple beautiful life like yours!!!!! fantastic garden! I love the chicken also free just like you!
You are an inspiration Gaz! Honest and humble, those are some rare but really great qualities. I would like to see how you spend your days in the winter. Because obviously its amazing in the countryside when its warm, but in the winter its challanging.
As long as I’m forced to exist in this physical reality, this is the only way I want to live. I watch these videos for inspiration and to create my future. Thank you!
You're an old soul Gaz.Everything about this vid is beautiful, the scenery,your workout,your garden,the food,& and your wonderful outlook .Thanks for sharing your day with us.❤
You mentioning you are quite sensitive and can get really affected by things coming from the outside (ok, cant quite remember the way you put it) made me realize i have been way to hard on myself and it would help to view things totality different. Thanks for the inspiration ❤!
My instinct tells me, you truly are a wonderful & lovely person! I love your enthusiasm, kindness & joy! It’s fascinating to watch someone with so much passion & enthusiasm. Thank you! ❤️😊
I think its dope to have that insight into self at a younger age whereas, others would try to adapt and never be true to themselves. I know I should be on my own island.😏 Some people chose to be in the world,such is life. We live vicariously through you for now,tfs. Btw,that rope thingy will get your core together! I want to try.Yes!
I came across your video on December 21st 2024, I subscribed, and liked the video. I am a Jamaican, I live in the USA from 1990 November 3rd. I now moved to Texas 2 years ago. I just want to thank you for loving Jamaica so much, I love you life style. Always remember to visit Jamaica.
You are consistently my favorite TH-cam creator. I’m always inspired by you mid episode and pause the video and soak some beans or get some espresso going or let my chickens out or pick some flowers from my garden. From one homesteader and enjoyer of beautiful things to another, thank you 💚
dude.... wot laundry detergent do u use ????? I'm serious....... or are you wearing some kind of NASA dirt repelling fabric ???? LOVE that ur still living ur best life - stay humble .
Looks like material than can be washed in 60 degrees. Fat stains: Washing-up liquid. Leave on for a little while and then wash in the machine at 60 degrees (C). Grass stains: Same procedure. Berry stains: Rinse in water with vinegar added and follow with machine wash, 60 degrees. Works on cotton and linen.
Wow, what a beautiful thing you evolved this channel into, we get to escape with you into your world for a bit. Awesome what you've done Gaz and very inspiring! I love the scenery and the subtle captures showcasing the beauty of it all, so refreshing and mesmerizing! I'm happy you got away from that stressful lifestyle and able to live in such a humble and gracious way.
You mentioned not having kids making your life less stressful. In relation to living in a city, this is absolutely accurate. However, if you had kids in an environment like this, senza smartphones, tvs and the negative influence of today’s society confusing the hell out of their little minds, they would be an absolute joy to have around.

This is the way we used to live, before capitalism.

I also am HSP, highly sensitive person. Am 75 now. For so many years thought there was something wrong with me. Happy to know you have discovered what works for you.

My theory is that throughout history, HSP became priests, nuns, monks, and temple workers. They sought refuge behind temple walls and high on mountain tops.
He freed himself from society, he is living the way humans were meant to live.
Says who?
Not married 😂😂😂. ??? No responsibilities? If he did have kids he could teach them his way of life and they could pass it on to their kids.
Humans were meant to have kids and families. Not be single loners who hit up the gym daily.

Gardening and cooking your owns meals is a luxury and brings so much pleasure. I'd rather have a garden than a Lamborghini.

That's what it's all about mate. Out in nature straight away, some organic food, get sweat going, bit of sun. It's actually so simple, bliss.
Yes I
Oh Gaz :-) I have followed your channel from almost the very beginning and I have LOVED it all - and I feel privileged, as Im sure many do, to have been witness to your evolution. In a way the pandemic was a blessing in disguise for many - showing the way forward more clearly. Who we were and what we actually need in life to be happy and do our best for the world. Love where you're at now - it's.beautiful. Thanks Gaz
My dearest friend, you are so lucky. I could have lived like you in central Portugal with my children and my beautiful wife. But instead I lost it all and ended up alone again in little Belgium, working in health care, doing hours and hours of hard physical and mental work! Earning just for my family who still live in Portugal...once in a while I end up in the country side and that is the moment I become alive again, but my life has bin a strugle for years now! I agree that the way you live is an adventure and I would recoment this way of living your life to everyone! Keep it going, you are so lucky
If I may ask, what had you lose your family?
@@1lifemechanics A great financial crisis and struggling with myself as a man and father and finally all the love that was left between me and my partner died slowly.
I can imagine the taste of the food you make, the freshness of the colorful vegetables, the textures of the ingredients, the different flavors of the vegetables and herbs and the nuttyness of the legumes. It's healing and inspiring. I'm so happy with your videos
Am I the only one crushing on this man? 😂
Respectfully, everything about this is so attractive
No, you're right to crush on him, he's actually perfect. Like MAX husband material, but alas, a woman would probably disrupt the peace 😂 she'd have to be an absolute angel to be good enough for this man, no wonder he stays solo.
@alesiasalazar... it's a video, honey.
I don't know who he is or why it was on my home page, but I'm happy it was there....
Came for the recipes, stayed for the abs. 😂
No I thought it was just me but it’s something so smooth and gentle about him
Love this Gaz! And love your attitude too, it’s great to hear you acknowledge that everyone has a different routine and responsibilities and to take it all with a grain of salt. You inspire me all the time to cook amazing nutritious food, to get in to the garden, and also to move my body when I maybe don’t feel like it. So thank you so much for showing us all your beautiful life that you have carved out. It’s been such a pleasure watching you and your garden bloom over the years
The pause after pulling the long skinny carrot joke I giggled so much. Its sooo relaxing watching you cook
Gaz, you are living my dream life.
I thank the universe for making you❤
Amazing garden, amazing food, amazing Gaz!
You live a beautiful life Gaz. I can see it takes self-discipline and committment. You are showing up for yourself every day. You reap what you sow! Thank you for sharing, you have a wonderful home (and the garden of dreams!)
He has many people helping him look good. It couldn’t be done alone. We need to surround ourselves with those that help us live the way we want to. All about conscious choices. ❤
What a BEAUTIFUL Healthful life!!!!! Congratulations on living consciously!!!!!
I am so happy that you are living your best life. Definitely can feel the good vibes through the videos 🥰
Oh my goodness this is all awesome. Both powerful and humble. Amazing.
Thank you for sharing, Gaz! See that you're "grounding" too! Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
I am happy (and jealous) to see you creating and working in your garden. I'm happy to see a young man starting this type of journey at your age. I wish I would have started 20-30 years ago myself. My garden journey stared by learning about plants for natural dyes and has expanded into learning about the medicinal uses along the way. Journey on!
This is the dream life ❤ just chilling with your chickens and growing your food ❤
Hello Gaz, it’s so wonderful to see that you have awakened. To see you in touch with all the wonderful plants and herbs God has created is so inspiring, and to see you at peace with yourself makes me happy ❣️ I been following you as a fan for the last three years. I want to say keep up the good work you’re doing, I pray that my daughter will someday meet someone like you 🌹
thanks for this video, always inspiring scenery and your garden is flourishing!
As I'm traveling this evening, I am listening to your videos as I go. Thank you so much for sharing your passion for amazing vegan recipes and for healing your body with all of us
This is the healthiest thing I've ever seen 🤯 😃 👏🏼 🏆
Este es el mejor regalo de vida que se puede regalar uno mismo, abrirse a un estado de conciencia más amplio y respetuoso con lo que nos rodea, disfrutar de los placeres que nos da la naturaleza,y los autocuidados ...amigo somos afortunados por elegir vivir asi❤
immaculate vibes - happy for your life!
I love watching your videos! They always inspire me and help life me up when I’m feeling stuck….. I love watching you harvest then create amazing recipes! Again inspiring me to eat in that close to nature while food way…..What an amazing life you have created and what an amazing soul you are xx
truly love your transformation Gaz
I am so happy I found this channel OMG! Everything about this makes my heart and soul smile!
Another great video! It would be really interesting to hear from Tom and learn how his food habits have changed since filming/editing your videos. Does he make some of your dishes at home? Any favorites?
Gaz, you are just the loveliest person. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life and self. 💕🌸
you have a wonderful Natural LIFE! and FREE! and sooooo healthy! thank you for sharing and INSPIRE us all for a simple beautiful life like yours!!!!! fantastic garden! I love the chicken also free just like you!
You are an inspiration Gaz! Honest and humble, those are some rare but really great qualities. I would like to see how you spend your days in the winter. Because obviously its amazing in the countryside when its warm, but in the winter its challanging.
You are definitely living your best life. And you are inspiring the rest of to do the same. Hugs.
I hope so!🤞
As long as I’m forced to exist in this physical reality, this is the only way I want to live. I watch these videos for inspiration and to create my future. Thank you!
You're an old soul Gaz.Everything about this vid is beautiful, the scenery,your workout,your garden,the food,& and your wonderful outlook .Thanks for sharing your day with us.❤
Thank you kindly
This video radiates harmonious living! So courageous of you to design a lifestyle that works for you. Thanks for sharing and delivering inspiration.
You mentioning you are quite sensitive and can get really affected by things coming from the outside (ok, cant quite remember the way you put it) made me realize i have been way to hard on myself and it would help to view things totality different. Thanks for the inspiration ❤!
❤️❤️
Its great that you realise you need structure and to prioritise the important things in life to be at your best. Took me 39yrs to figure it out.
10:37 popping up out of nowhere 😆
I laughed so hard😂
😆 I just noticed that too!!
The second oatmeal owner
😂😂😂😂
I came to the comments just for this 😂
I noticed you prepared two bowls of oatmeal so whoever got to eat the second one is a very very lucky person.
Tom
It was his seconds
camera operator i hope. yes they've are very lucky.
Beautiful
Very lucky indeed!
My instinct tells me, you truly are a wonderful & lovely person! I love your enthusiasm, kindness & joy! It’s fascinating to watch someone with so much passion & enthusiasm.
Thank you! ❤️😊
I think its dope to have that insight into self at a younger age whereas, others would try to adapt and never be true to themselves. I know I should be on my own island.😏 Some people chose to be in the world,such is life. We live vicariously through you for now,tfs. Btw,that rope thingy will get your core together! I want to try.Yes!
Gaz, Tom and Jack great work 🌱💚
I came across your video on December 21st 2024, I subscribed, and liked the video. I am a Jamaican, I live in the USA from 1990 November 3rd. I now moved to Texas 2 years ago. I just want to thank you for loving Jamaica so much, I love you life style. Always remember to visit Jamaica.
You are consistently my favorite TH-cam creator. I’m always inspired by you mid episode and pause the video and soak some beans or get some espresso going or let my chickens out or pick some flowers from my garden. From one homesteader and enjoyer of beautiful things to another, thank you 💚
Best looking lad on youtube! 😉😄👍
Your videos fill my heart with joy and rekindle my passion for the Earth. Thank you for doing what you do. Well wishes.
There’s a doggo missing from this perfect day..how is happiness possible without one in one’s life?..
happiness comes from within, not from someone or something outside of you
Why doggo and not kitty,for instance? He likes hens,as I see,keeping them not for a profit.Nothing is missing in his picture
Seriously! Doggo definitely missing.
Nice to live naturally... not w domesticated furballs w worms haha. To each their own.
Nah, doggo not necessary. Not everyone is a dog person, myself included.
Wow, watching you gardening, and everything is just a therapy for me...thank you
dude.... wot laundry detergent do u use ????? I'm serious....... or are you wearing some kind of NASA dirt repelling fabric ???? LOVE that ur still living ur best life - stay humble .
Bro wears delicate white clothing while gardening, cooking, exercising, cleaning... i need to know
Looks like material than can be washed in 60 degrees. Fat stains: Washing-up liquid. Leave on for a little while and then wash in the machine at 60 degrees (C). Grass stains: Same procedure. Berry stains: Rinse in water with vinegar added and follow with machine wash, 60 degrees. Works on cotton and linen.
@@thatsalt1560 Lub u....... Many tx
Hang white clothes in sunlight - will do the trick and bleach.
But don't tell the industry that 😉
Wow, what a beautiful thing you evolved this channel into, we get to escape with you into your world for a bit. Awesome what you've done Gaz and very inspiring! I love the scenery and the subtle captures showcasing the beauty of it all, so refreshing and mesmerizing! I'm happy you got away from that stressful lifestyle and able to live in such a humble and gracious way.
You mentioned not having kids making your life less stressful. In relation to living in a city, this is absolutely accurate. However, if you had kids in an environment like this, senza smartphones, tvs and the negative influence of today’s society confusing the hell out of their little minds, they would be an absolute joy to have around.
