Great cover! Made my day!

I remember this film! Impactful with a very sad ending. This piece you are playing is pure, simple beauty. IMHO, some of the best music ever written is on soundtracks

This is a bad way to plan. If a emp. Or solar flare happens. An it well. All of that juke is fried.

I'd been familiar with British folk music since the early 1970s but discovered Acadian folk in 1990 on my first visit to Montreal. In French or English it's great music. Thanks @AdamRuzzo for posting this.

First video I found on this subject. Going to Dublin in a month and I'm nervous about renting a car. This video offered good tips but it also scared me a bit. I have a lot more to watch.

To visit here must have been incredibly special for you! So sad & tragic about his death. Why do planes seem to end so many gifted musicians' lives? Such beautiful open sea...daydreaming, wishing I could live by it again

Nylon sounds great. Can you tell me your guitar model?

1605!!! The houses are definitely from the colonial period but sort of remind me of Copenhagen for some reason...style? color? I dunno. I love your history stuff!

This one is gorgeous--hard to believe the original came from the psychedelic era

You did this arrangement?

You have a Gomez voice going there…

So, how does anyone sleep wth so much summer daylight interfering with melatonin production?

My father’s family came from Digby. Melansons! Love the video.

Very good info. Not sure we will rent a car in Dublin but just in case, nice to know. We are from California. Born in Thailand and they drive on the left there.

Got to wondering if the slang I used means the same in Canada. I hope I didn't insult you! When it's said in my part of the world in jest, it means "far better than just good."

The magnificence of nature! Your music ain't half bad, either 😜

I love that it looks like a regular van on the exterior

Thank you for honoring Alex. He is near & dear to my heart as are all of our indigenous sisters & brothers. My thesis was on the unjust destruction of their culture in N America. Destruction of a communal life & egalitarianism unparalleled by anything seen up to that point or since. So, which ones exactly were the savages, right?

So many questions lol. I have in my driveway an 03 Astro cargo that is destined to be my home. It is a 4x4 conversion and is completely empty. You give excellent detail I am rethinking my bed already one of my problems is no roof rack but i got some ideas. Excellent vid.

Your passenger is going to be the one riding right next to those stone walls. My advice: keep a sleep mask handy!😂😂😂

One tip: just like I. The states, the driver side of the car is closest to the middle.

This song draws you in!

Thank you so much Adam. Ian has been my favourite singer/songwriter/musician for more than 50 years. I listen to his songs almost daily and they always give me comfort. I find new gems all the time that I hadn't listened closely to before. He is incredibly prolific. He has also very kindly given me advice on how to play some songs over the years. He deserves far, far more acclaim than he has received.

Don't know the guitar terms, but whatever you are doing, it's a unique sound and really "makes" your rendition.Great song! I'm surprised at how much I like this story. Me, a proponent of non-violence. Go figure. BTW, I've been meaning to thank you for always replying to my comments. I love connecting with you, even if it is only virtual and short!

Wonderful rendition. LOVE it,

I'm new to your channel!! 😊😊😊😊

I really like the dividing door. it gives it really a homey atmosphere

I agree with the differences between off grid vs condo but I would never buy anywhere where there are associations to deal with of any kind. It is a nightmare. Right now, I know of someone who just got a $17,000 bill from an assessment and many other similar stories like this one. Nope thanks.

I wonder whether an oil lamp might be better for lighting. That way you have a light source that is not dependent upon your car and which will last a lot longer.

Here in britain of course we have much the same as in ireland so we drive on the left too although here it is in miles not km by the way too.

Oh gosh, Adam! I always come back to this one. Just so so very pretty & lovely!!

Great video. Practical and simple 👌

A great perspective on both sides! I haven’t lived in a van or cabin, but had a wee taste of it momentarily with wild camping, sleeping in my car and fishing hut. It’s sure nice to open tap water and not chop wood all day when I get back, even if it’s just been days. 😅 Its good to swap what satisfaction you had at the cabin with things to do and projects you actually love (I mean chopping wood Is great, but they is so much more to do!). You’ll have definitely more time for that! 😊 Getting out of your comfort zone on a regular basis is a must too. Can’t let that comfort and easiness (is that even a word) take control. The machine doesn’t have to be an enemy, it has its sweet sides too. Doing something you love to pay bills definitely helps too. I’ll be heading up to revisit Vieux Quebec in a few weeks. I’ll be living the Sleeping in my car life for a few days. I do enjoy that a lot, probably because it’s momentarily.😂 Are you there for La Saint-Jean-Baptiste ? The energy is amazing!…Hope you like crowds 😂 I’ll be skipping that weekend, I don’t like crowds enough. 😅

VERY accurate advice! And I do mean ACCURATE. The only correction I would make is to let everyone know Ireland's newer motorways (that's what highways are called in Ireland) have nice wide lanes and are very well maintained. They are a pleasure to drive on.

1688!!! WOW! Incredible architecture! Serene. I see now why you landed there.

Transcendent...sacred...exquisite beauty...reverence...thin place at the river...branches reaching into eternity...I got so lost in this (in a good way) I didn't want it to end.

Nice! Ya, I keep dreaming of cabin life one day. Stuck in the system at the moment but like you say, the Nice amenities of turning on the tap for water and hot showers is a bonus and being 5 minutes from work and 3-5 minutes from any store I need for groceries and supplies is nice. BUT, it does come with all the expenses of living that lifestyle. I'm hoping for a retirement one day of much more simpler off grid style living in a much smaller place or even combine it with a bit of overlanding lifestyle with a tiny camper or just an overlanding style vehicle. But for now it's all just a dream as I seem to just be working to live lately. 🤷‍♂️

Not bad at all

Adam, Happy Housewarming!!! Love your place! I’m very happy and excited for you! New beginning!

I love your little cabin condo 🥰 and catching a glimpse of the cabin painting made me soooo happy!! ❤️

Well done Adam! Come for a visit before you go!

Oh nice !!! Hope you enjoy your stay ! Are you planning doing gigs ?

Love all that informations Adam, i’ve been doing Van life for six years. The only thing I really miss is to be able to go take a shower and not have to drive to get to it. You know I live in Huntington Beach California so the weather is really nice pretty much year around but if I could find a 300 square-foot cheap, I would take it and if it’s in a good neighborhood I don’t need a lot of space. I’m pretty much a minimalist in a couple of weeks I’m moving into my new van. I’m excited about it. This one’s going to be different in a good way. Take care. 💕

You've landed in a beautiful place. Living the dream Adam, very happy for you. Looking forward to more music. Cheers!

Great video! My wife and I are living "the Dream" doing the vanl life (right?) We're going on 2 years soon and the natural progression was to find land and build just like you did. But I dont see much difference with cabin vs van life as both are small both are difficult and not very different other than a land locked roof over your head. So my mind wanders daily to moving back to Toronto and getting a small condo with a shower, toilet and a decent sized fridge. Thanks for doing this video because I can just skip the small cabin "dream" and live simply in a small condo in a city where you don't need a vehicle that rats can squat with you rent free.

After my trip in Ireland (wonderful landscape, by the way!), I can say that it was not that difficult to drive in the countryside. Sure, narrow roads, often I had to pull to the side, in tall grass, just to cross another vehicle, but no issue in 12 days. There was only one time I suddenly heard my car touching something hard, and that was when I was parking and the sidewalk was higher as expected. So I scratched the bottom of my bumper. But that was all I had. I can tell, as a manual/standard driver, no, if you're used to standard cars, don't bother with an automatic. Manual gears are the same in Ireland as in the rest of Europe. Also, yes, take a compact or small car. Narrow roads can have pretty harsh turns. And depending on where you drive, asphalt is sometimes replaced with plain dirt and gravel. But nothing that requires a 4x4. So, just take the cheapest and smallest car of the rental company, even if you have to drive for 3 hours on the highway. I was in Kerry, by the way. And not only on the ring (rarely, in fact). Just be careful of the sheep.

You are so right about peace and HOME. Solitude and it's cousin, Simplicity, are my best friends. Love hanging out with them! Their gifts are the finest. Your thoughts in this video bring back such longings for me, The call of the wild...

At the ready, your insight is most valuable 👹 Love

Absolutely love this. From your neighbor in the south, northern Minnesota…… This song plays in my head during a long portage, because I can’t carry a tune, nor speak French…. Thank you so much…..

How did it hold up?
