  1. I’m with you on that! This guy is living the life I wish I’d lived, instead of living paycheck-to-paycheck for most of my life. I’m also a senior (otherwise I’d jump on the opportunity to go live at his teaching school), and I was a hippie for a several years, so I had some opportunity to learn and understand the “anti-capitalist” and self-sufficiency thinking, so it’s doubly sad that I ended up getting sucked up into exactly that capitalist way of life. I also really loved all the “back-to-the-Earth” kinds of architecture and homes being built at the time, like the buildings in this video. I recently got inspired by the Permaculture movement, and the growing of herbs for medicines, etc. Sadly, I’m almost in the physical condition he’s in, so I can’t do all the work necessary, but I wish I had joined some kind of community like this back in the early 70s. I’m not complaining, as I’ve had some incredible experiences in my life, but this would have been a great lifestyle for me.
