@@pipfox7834 Sure just looking at the numbers alone, someone today earns $9/hr and someone working in the 1960s can say "Well I only earned $1.50 an hour!" But its more complicated than that. Both of my grandfathers were able to get good paying factory jobs right out of high school. By the time they were each 25 or 26 years old they had their houses fully paid for on 2 acre lots, no need for high interest 30 year mortgages. They were able to purchase brand new cars without high interest loans, and raise their families of 6 on just the one income. They could afford to take their families on vacation to the beach every summer. Then when they got old & retired they received incredibly good pensions. This was a pretty common way of living for Americans at one point. All that was gone before I was even born. I'm currently doing the exact same job my grandfather did, but each dollar I earn only goes about 20% as far as each dollar he earned back in the 1960s. It was also more common for families to own land. When they died they passed the farm onto their kids, then their kids passed it on, etc. However all it takes is for someone in your family born before you to sell the farm off to some developer so they can move to Florida or some such place, and the family farm is gone forever.

Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out.

I worked with an old guy that was building himself an off-grid home, one piece at a time. Construction sites can be quite wasteful at times, and he'd diligently ask for anything he could use that was just going to be tossed. He basically built himself a home for free over a 5-7 year period. He'd always say, if you want heaven you have to build it yourself. And he did. This guy reminds me of him a lot. Looks like it works pretty well for him.

True lifestyle of an older man. Nature is very alluring.

What a sweet gentle soul Al is. I wish him a long and healthly happy life! Such a beautiful home🌻🍀🐞🦋

May God bless him, may he have good health, may he be as young as he was until now, even at 102 years old, why not... Thank you for this clip and keep taking care of Al. Only good, all the best! 🤗

My favourite part of this is simply two people from different generations hanging out and having a good time. We have so many people trying to divide us along whatever lines possible, including age, and it's great to see living proof of how we can connect.

This guy is livin the dream He climbed that hill like he's in his 20's, probably all that spring water and chopping wood

There are a lot of people, in the states, still not on the grid and it isn't by choice, they would love to have things the rest of us take for granted. I wish more of they could do something like this but water is also a problem for a lot of them. Congratulations on a tool that lasted so long

I love Washington, such beautiful land anywhere in the Pacific Northwest Al's got a amazing home lots of hard word went into that house

The lad is 82 and looks like 50 something. Amazing! We can truly see the benefits

I wish everyone in the whole damn world was like Al.

He has great posture for 82! Well done sir!

wow.. this guy has built an incredible life for himself. im jealous

Smart man he is... Staying away from today's society keeps Al the kind man he is. I totally understand the going into town thing... As cliche as it is, There's no place like home 😊

Al, your home is beautiful, reminds me of my home we had in Cooper Landing, Alaska. It truly was heaven there, I miss it.

This guy is like me!! I have solar power, live way off grid, don’t go to town but every two weeks or so, don’t like leaving my place. Only seen 1 bear in my 30 years. I am a bit younger, but not much.

The 1st thing I noticed was Al's good posture was on par with someone in their 30's, which is impressive for anyone over the age of 50. Then I read in the comments that he's 82 yrs old & wow! Such a cool property & I bet it looks magical at night with all the solar lights glowing. Any chance of a nighttime video in the future?

i think sitting to much (driving car, office work, couch tv) is what gives bad posture. Staying upright and walk doing medium physical chores all day keeps good posture. We should change our working and mobility to what serves our health, not what makes most financial profit....Good health and good humour are far more worth then that...

I found his posture truly stunning too. And the way he walked up that mountain. He's an example of what the human can be (and should be). The modern world has really done a number on the human species!

Stay blessed Al. Lots of love and hats off to you
