I found this idyllic mountain hut in the Slovenian alps. I went hiking, foraging mushrooms, fishing and did lots of cooking and eating. It was a beautiful time alone in the mountains.

Not only do baskets look cool for collecting mushrooms, they have a very important function. A mushroom is the fruiting body of fungi, and they have millions of spores in them. Having them in a a basket helps to spread the spores as you walk around and thus having more mushrooms in the area!

Oh wow, that is really cool news. I love mushrooms. People eat them here and forage for them in the wild, but there are so many that will kill you, I choose to stick with whatever is sold in the local grocery store.

Yes this is very good info! Also always flick before you pick, give the mushroom a few flicks before you pick it to help drop spores for regrowth

It's so great to see you being aware and being present. It's a gift to have this ability this young. I am probably not too much older than you, but my path to being present involved more than just being alone. Talking to yourself is not a bad sign. It's also not strange to feel not lonely. When I was traveling alone, there was a point when I felt anywhere is my home. So long as the sky is above my head and the ground is below my head, I have am home. Sorry for the ramblings. I love your videos.

Never has an account inspired our weekends as much as yours. By that I don't mean time in the Alps but just getting back to nature and the basics. I spent my 20s and 30s following my football team around the country. Now we spend time in the country. The original fishing account inspired us to pick our rods back up. This account has me walking all over the wilderness! Thank you for what you do. Well done and good luck.

Min 6:00 Did you know you can remove those iron rings depending on the size of the pan/pot you are cooking with? It allows you to cook with direct fire and you remove those rings with a spetial hard wire that has a 90° angle on one end to catch the rings from that centre hole. Great place! Great videos. Congratulations for your new challenge. Greets from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Honestly it makes me happy to listen to somebody talking about the country and its beauty it makes me apriciate the country even more. It makes me remeber of the great times i spent up in the moutains walking and helping a speapard make cheese and fire wood and meeting a good friend from america and all of the said its a beutiful country.

I absolutely adore this video! I'm deeply moved by the serene beauty of the Slovenian Alps captured in your adventure. As a 40-year-old living in Pakistan, watching your journey stirs a longing within me to experience the tranquility of living off the grid in a mountain hut. Your connection with nature, from foraging mushrooms to fishing and cooking over an open fire, resonates with my own dream of finding solace and simplicity in the mountains. Your video has inspired me to cherish the idea of migrating to such a serene place one day. Thank you for sharing this breathtaking experience with us!

The purple flowers you mention in the vid are called "Herbszeitlose" in german - they are showing, that autumn is coming. Absolutely adore this little cottage - this is, what I would love to buy and stay in my retirement, in a close future. The best point of it: That it is so isolated from other people. Concern to the tree/fungus connections: Some say, the roots and the mushrooms in the ground are the internet of the woods. A pro tip from someone, living in the alps: It´s always a good idea to have a good rain poncho with you ;)

The purple flowers are crocus flowers, from which (some of the species of this plant) saffron is collected. Be careful, if the specie is Colchicum Autumnale, as referred above, then it is poisonous and the poisoning is similar to this one by arsenic, with heart and kidney failure amongst other!!

I was so exited when I realized you were in Slovenija! It’s my home country:)) I’m really glad you could enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature it has to offer! My only critique is, please cut the mushrooms while they’re still in the soil, don’t just rip them out, for the sake of reproduction and hopefully more abundant years like this one! Also pro tip, cleaning the mushrooms in the forest doesn’t only guarantee you a less of a mess when you get back home, it is also more weight efficient if you’re foraging large quantities of mushrooms! I hope whoever reads this applies this knowledge the next time they’re in the forest picking delicious fungi:))

Yes cutting the mushrooms from the soil means that it can regenerate more.
@carriageofnoreturn.1881
@carriageofnoreturn.1881 Рік тому
Yes - I thought the same thing. I'd also add that the baskets not only look nice, but their open weave allows mushroom spores to fall out on the forest floor whilst being carried around, thereby also helping their reproduction.
@janousek314
@janousek314 Рік тому
No, cutting the mushroom and leaving the leftover of the leg will make mycelium to rot and die. The correct technique of picking mushrooms is to carefully hold the leg and twist and pull it from the bed. Then ideally cover the mycelium by moss or bark.

one of my fondest memories was going mushroom hunting with a botanist friend in the pacific northwest. We got chanterelles which I had never had before and it was like going on a grown-up easter egg hunt. so much fun and then afterwards we made vegetarian stroganoff and the chanterelles had such a meaty texture. Yummy with white wine. Made me so happy to be able to relive the magic with you Alex.

You are a true gem and a hope for me (And I believe for many others out there). I personally love Slovenia, been there three times already and somehow this just touched my soul pretty deep. I am amazed by what you do. Keep going! Wish you safe travels 😊😊

Alex, I’m a new member of your channel from California, and I absolutely loved the content of your video!! When I saw those beautiful Alpine Mountains with the floating clouds of SLOVENIA, I thought about the Alps of Austria to the North of Slovenia, in the movie: THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Alex, I also loved your quotation about “ENJOYING OUR PRESENT MOMENTS, BECAUSE OUR TOMORROWS DON’T EXIST YET,” YOUR LIFE ANALYSIS QUOTE, LET ME SERIOUSLY THINKING, AND REFLECTING ABOUT THE BRIEFNESS OF OUR HUMAN LIFE HERE IN PLANET EARTH. THANKS, AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! Congrats, because your meals, with those fresh, and organic mushrooms you picked, were delicious, and healthy!!

Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts. Your feast was marvelous. I also find preparation of the meal in the outdoors is satisfying - and special, grounding me in nature and creation.

My family is from a village in the French alps (Jarrier) which overlooks the town where your Opinel knife is from (st Jean de maurienne). It looks very similar to where you are, absolutely stunning. I am obsessed with the life you are living, just amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Never has one man's journey, from the south coast of England, to the mountains of Slovenia and beyond, inspired quite so many people all at the same time 👌don't ever stop doing what your doing mate, even if in years to come you stop filming don't ever stop doing this. Bring Carl with you for a trip, broaden his horizons a little more and be good to see you do something like this together

In the future you'll need a small insulated barn for the winter with two rooms to divide your future animals. Maybe even attached to the back of the house to keep it warmer since you are in the Alps. And perhaps an insulated sunken Greenhouse. Off grid means more than just utilities. also the open spot that receives sun during the summer is a perfect area to grow food for those animals you can store it above them in the barn. You're going to have a lot of down time during the winter between chopping extra wood. Get some weights and different amounts to work out with push-ups sit-ups squats and start a hobby that is profitable. Have a small Workshop somewhere to produce something with that Hobby. This will add to your content, do you research and then show the people how you did it. They want to know. Good luck.

I live in Thailand. So everything is the exact opposite from this video but that's why I love it. Always fascinated with life in cold climate and all the nature there, so mesmerizing. I personally dislike hot weather and I'm easily sweating, kinda born in an inconvenient country, lol. The kind of lonely hut like in this video is almost the perfect place I've wished to visit, or even live in if possible really. A balanced combination of true nature with a fair distance from society for peace while still being able to reconnect whenever you wish; awesome. Seeing you sitting at that table enjoying the magnificence of the mountain range I honestly thought to myself "that really is not bad a place to spend the final moment at all".
