We met up with Kevin, who is living an alternative lifestyle, off grid in a 'Hut in the woods'.
He begins by introducing how he's lived an alternative life for about 16 to 17 years, spending 13 of those years living in a van, before purchasing the land he currently resides on. His philosophy is to live simply, which importantly gives him more freedom, time in nature, and time to enjoy life.
He describes his hut as not luxurious but practical, built by himself with basic technology, yet providing warmth, shelter, and sustenance, all at a low cost. His land features various elements: a guest wing, fruit trees, raised beds for vegetables, a polytunnel for year-round produce, and a renewable energy system such as a solar system, and plans to introduce Hydro-electric.
The documentary showcases his self-sufficiency efforts, from growing food to preserving it for the winter. He emphasizes learning from nature, identifying various plants for food and medicinal purposes. Kevin also highlights the community aspect, interaction with locals, and the joy of rural living.
His off-grid lifestyle requires resourcefulness, where he repurposes materials for construction and utilities. He demonstrates his homemade long-drop toilet, outdoor bathing setup, laundry methods, and kitchen amenities, including a log burner he uses for cooking. He also talks about finances, and how living this frugal way of life helps to reduce how much he has to work at his job.
While admitting occasional loneliness, Kevin cherishes the companionship of his two dogs and finds community interactions by occasionally visiting local shops or butchers. He values the simplicity of his life, the freedom from a hectic pace, and the ample time he has to enjoy nature, emphasizing the beauty of living in harmony with the environment.
Kevin's story showcases the fulfillment he derives from a self-reliant, close-to-nature lifestyle despite its challenges, embodying a contentment that comes from embracing a simpler existence.
