Well that’s not always true. If you enjoy solitude you will live longer as a hermit. If you are lonely though, it’s proven that will shorten your lifespan.

I always felt like a hermit and the one thing that I wouldn't miss is another people's drama and their dirty looks or judgement and hate, If you don't fit in their world create a world of your own! Hermits are lost souls and damage souls and nobody bothers you and its peaceful and people probbaly have many reasons to live alone, nobody cared about them! You can call your shots and be your own boss and do what you want! People always hated me and they still hate me and its better to be alone than have false friends. I like being alone!

Do what makes you happy 😊

It was so peaceful just listening to you talk. I dreamed of living in the forest & anytime I would go camping for a week or two I never wanted to come back to society. My problem is as a woman I was afraid to go alone. I know many are not. I ended up in the country with a house, a garden every year, preserving food and making most of my clothes. I still dream of this life but now older I'm grateful for pension and health insurance. I would suggest for those who would like this lifestyle to do it when your young. As you get older, you never know what can hit the fan. Health problems... I live as a subsistent farmer & I think it's the next best thing. 😊

I am a bit of a hermit myself. I may not contributed to society as we know it but I don't take much either.

You can have many people around you and still be alone.

Shaming people works to some extent. As someone who was constantly shamed, treated as a pariah and alone throughout my childhood. You'll eventually stop caring about what society thinks of you.

I agree. I hate working for someone 9 to 5. In Finland work week usually 40 hours with lunch time included and few breaks. I just don't like it for 4 week vacation a year. Usually what i suggest to live, live as cheap as possible hermit life, with no friends. Not a whole lot money needed to survive. I collect bottles, at summer I bike usually from 12 and in 13 you are collecting bottles to the end of the day. Deposit them and get money. On festivals, streets, if there are people, there are bottles and tin cans too waiting. I live nice life collecting them and also getting blueberries from woods and selling them is another great method. Stop wasting time at work and live. I am not free form work, but there is no bosses and you can have enough money to pay cheapest rent, few actual bills and food is on table. Traveling by mountain bike "for free". Nothing else is needed, people live extravagant life for stuff and money, not really even living.

Hello my friend. I want to become a hermit, and I want to do it for God. There aren't really any forests here in Ireland, but I would like to move to Germany. I haven't really done anything worthwhile in my life so far. I am now 37 years old. I am subscribing to your channel and I'm going to watch more of your videos before I ask any questions. I actually already live as a virtual recluse at home. I interact with very few people. I have some attachments to material things, especially money. I think I can only survive to a good old age if I leave society behind completely. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I am presently manifesting a cave. Love to get back to nature and although seeking solitude now, i will one day have isolation. Always alone, never lonely. Good for mind body and soul xx

Wow thank you for this video my friend. I have been trying to understand hermit living for a few weeks now and most videos -- although they might interview real hermits -- don't give much information as to what to expect. I appreciate it.

you're a champ. very brave. considering this because living around so many humans is starting to depress my spirit. no one cares about each other in cities anymore. or at least that's my exprience. better to be alone than in bad company.

from one permit to another I appreciate and respect your decision an inner calling to separate yourself from society as I have been a Hermit for 10 years. Although I am a religious hermit and still have to go into society for it necessities most of my life is spent in the Hermitage and still able to serve people in need. I wish you well and my prayers extend out to you and thank you for words of inspiration and also knowing there are so many more Hermits that still exist to this day. Peace be with you my friend.

❤️ much respect. Would love to have a friend like you.

Mantas Jacikas That gave me a smile & made my day!!!

I have been getting deeper into my Buddhist practices, and currently monasteries are staying closed in Canada due to Covid fears, so Ive been considering taking a personal retreat. I saw your video and I need to tell you that you are quite inspiring. I have no doubt that what holds me back is indeed fear of the mind. Ive been on retreats before in communities, and even that is isolation for the mind, so it knows whats in store and it hates me for wanting that.... :P. I enjoy the cadence of your voice, you truly sound like one who is aware of your thoughts and watches them closely before they become words.

thank you friend never thought about this for myself, its a great challenge

I so enjoyed your video so I like the way you express yourself and your ideas. I can identify with so many things being of a hermmatious nature myself. I think you are beautiful inside and out and I think this Progressive and self realistic Journey,, is for somebody who is emotionally and mentally courageous and you have to be willing to withstand it. I've experienced it just like you said you have moments of Happiness a great peak,, a surge of feeling positively. Then you have moments of almost great sadness and you question everything. You're the kind of interesting person I feel like can talk hours and hours with.✌🌻🌼🍀🌱🌾☘🌿🌲🍁🍃☀️🌟🌙

You are very brave man. I am also considering becoming a hermit and living closer to nature. And I'm in a phase away from society.

I agree with someone of the hermit life because jobs really are important but in reality, you are basically making somebody else richer. Doing all that work to buy things you don't need that will eventually rot and are impermanent. You just need the basics in life, grow garden, food, good company, weapons, meditation and wisdom. The outside world or society in general, can be insufferable sometimes.

I respect your choice brother👍

I used to think it would be easy, but omg, you are absolutely right, I am so foolish to have thought that , 1 day with full gear is so hard, you are right my brother, ❤🙏

good stuff brother , thank you!

Honesty, Honor and Truth... in a world of chaos is a breath of cool mountain air for the soul

Although we Christians have a different reason and certainly a different approach to it, the usefulness of being by yourself is also the essence of preparing yourself to live in the world and trying to help others. In fact, many of the best Christians or people out there help the most when they are by themselves meditating, praying and listening to Him! Western monasticism actually started (and continues in many ways and places) with retreat in isolation, sometimes for the rest of your life. Our Lord Himself did it when He spent 40 days in the desert and it was not the only time he retreated in the Scriptures alone (most of the things He did are not even written!) You can say indeed that Jesus was the hermit par excellence.

I feel that I should leave an offering to express gratitude for the time, effort, and experiences that it took to create this video. “One who lives in accordance with nature does not go against the way of things. He moves in harmony with the present moment, always knowing the truth of just what to do.” Lao-Tzu

People fear what they don't understand. Living in a van, I definitely got some criticism, but I found if you invite them to critique using humor and making jokes about your own situation, they become disarmed and you are then able to offer a new existence for them to see vicariously through you. It can be a great service to be a hermit. Thank yoy for sharing your experience with us

You are awesome.. ❤

I can’t wait to retire and live as a hermit. But I plan on living in comfort in a condo or small house, not really living off the land like you are. So maybe “recluse” would be a better term for my retirement plans.

i feel you bro.

It is the most difficult thing we can do certainly I would say. Well that and probably the military and getting off the opium or heroin for me was all rough too, I had many days or months of crying and pain on and off, and it's still not over til the summer is over. It makes everywhere the wilderness. Even walking to the other room can be an expedition, even laying on the bed an exertion. There's a place near here I'd like to go and be alone in the wilderness for a few days, it's called Shenandoah, it's the giant mountain range and valley that seperated the settlers from the "howling wilderness" that was the west. It's a very epic place, I had some terrible and interesting experiences there with psychedeclic drugs

Awesome video

I wouldn't do it myself but definitely have respect for that guy. To the contrary, he seems quite reasonable. And honestly, nowadays probably 90% of society just slaves their lives away, so can't say they do something way more meaningful anyway.

Nice

I am 90% hermit

I just thought of something: A hermit is just Minimalist - Awakened Correct or incorrect?

I go to work or the supermarket and then I'm home alone. It's just me, my dog and the TV. I potter round my house. I feel so alone I hate my life but I purposely chose to be alone so no one can hurt me. I make small talk with ppl at work but I do not talk about my personal life, I refuse all invitations to go out and socialise. I'm wronging myself I know but I just can't connect with people anymore, I don't trust them, if people get in my personal space my anxiety goes through the roof. I never used to be like this, I don't know how to stop. If I could I would run away and live miles away from everyone else. I'm dead inside what's the point anymore
