    When I was a student in Haifa University I lived on the Carmel Mountain next to the University.
    I hope you will enjoy the Movie!

      Interesting video... I'm at the point in the video where you are in Germany and see the news about the fire... Any chance that the fire was started by something you accidentally left behind (perhaps dragged out of your camp by one of the amazing wild boar)?
      Totally love how there are wild boar there that get so close to humans... Where I live, there is rumored to be 1 family of wild boar, but so far I have only seen their paw prints in the mud. Nobody has been able to get them on camera...

      @@lukearts2954 Arson by the "pals" is the more likely reason for the fire. They don't build things. They destroy them. It's how they roll.

    I love your commentary on the current war in Israel, and the history of of Israel and Jewish people. I am Jewish, but, sadly, my knowledge of Israel is very sketchy. But since the October 7 my focus has sharpen, and all my thoughts are on Israel, and our people's amazing history. I did not expect the wave of ignorance and hatred that rose in the world, but there we are, again. I watch all your posts, thank you so much, you give me strength, and words to combat idiotic comments and defend Israel.
    I love your Living in the Israeli Forest video. I now live in New Zealand. If, after Israel's victory, you might feel like some travel, you are welcome to crash with us, and explore New Zealand forests! Truth be told, I just want to give you a hug! (I'm over 70, so you are quite safe :) )! Bless you, darling, and am Yisrael chai!

    Wow, you and I have a lot in common. I lived in a tent in my dad’s backyard for about a year when I was 14-15. This was in a small beachside town in Southern California, during the 70s. Then I built a simple geodesic dome and lived in that for a couple of years. My dad’s house and my dome were later covered by a massive mudslide. It was never excavated. My dome is buried. Fortunately I moved before the mudslide. To art school in San Francisco. That’s a whole nother story. Now I’m a single dad raising a teenaged son. It’s a lot of work.

    Oren, you’re a remarkable person! I’m not quite sure how CZcams got me here, perhaps because I love Israel, but between your travel videos and this film, I’m so enjoying your positive approach to life. You’re a very kind and gentle person. May life treat you and your young family that way. 😊

      Thank you for responding, Oren! What a pleasant surprise 😊 I did not mean the song, which is actually beautiful (don’t understand, but still beautiful to listen to). I meant the instrumental guitar music all along the movie. By the way, thought you’d like to know, my father (z’l) was in the IDF - 1948. Part of why I love Israel so much ❤️

    This is fantastic, Here in Ireland there is a housing crisis, and I was seriously thinking of living in a forest, but luckily I found a place to stay. Anyway there is always Sukkot to experience outdoors for a week. Thankyou Oren for sharing this. Can't believe you lived like this for 2 years!.There is a survival instinct in the Jews, an incredible resilience and toughness. You have a beautiful family. Fairplay to you !.

I had hippy friends that built camps like yours in Wales when I lived there call benders. well done and long may you continue Oren.

    What an amazing journey, I couldn't stop watching this movie. So much warmth, positivity, the pace is just right. Also I was filmed very well. Thank you for sharing this soulful special journey with me. Also, I am familiar with the forest near Haifa University, the spiky bushes, the flies, the humid and heat during 8 months of summer and the cold rainy winter. And still I felt in love with all of it, because of your very honest filming.

    What a interesting film clip you did. This remind me my time in Haifa in the end 80"s. Living in Ahuza and working in the Pine Club near Beith Oren, I made my way on foot many days during the week from the university to the Pine Club restaurant (as an health exercise), a beautiful area (before the fire), with lots and lots of memories.
    Try this year after the corona crisis to re-visit Israel for few weeks, before I will pass on.
    Truly a beautiful and memorable country; after living in 12 different countries and visiting more than 80 in my life, in Israel I had the best times and full of good memories...

    Oren, I am watching and writing from Miami, FL. I have been watching your videos to learn and understand the current situation of your country. I have to say that finding this adventure of yours documented was a little gem to enjoy for me.
    I too am free spirit and have travelled around living “unconventionally” for a young single Cuban-American woman.
    I wanted to tell you that the first time I had any direct information about how Israelis were was when our building in Surfside collapsed in 2021. One of my best friends is married to a first responder and told us all about how the Israeli military came and were such intelligent militants, while also the most friendly - they formed a brotherhood in the time they were here. I know that was a difficult time for him, his wife and our city as a whole - and I always remember how much the Israelis provided help and support.
    I am Christian, and dream about visiting Jerusalem. When that happens I will look for you so that you can lead my tour. I am Jessie, from Miami, FL. May God bless and protect you and your beautiful family !!! Thank you for sharing this movie.

    I just watched this video 14 April 2021 and am in awe of you. Wonderful, hard, joyful, scary, all the emotions. I think there must have been some really difficult times and I also think it had moments of second thoughts that you are not sharing here. I'm at retirement age and I have refused to grow up for my whole life. I still think like a young person and enjoy the outdoors every moment I can… even though I live in NYC.
    Thank you for sharing your remarkable life, speaking frankly and openly to us. You are the type of person we all wish we knew.
    Congrats on the website and here's hoping for your continued success.

    41:52 - I've experience this in Southern California, too. After a large fire, the most noticeable absences are the coyotes and the mountain lions, but other mammals also diminish quite a bit. Then, eventually, they move back into the neighborhood and everything gets back to normal.

    I hate hiking! Am naturally averse to sleeping in the forest among grass leaves tickling your nose, flies buzzing, dust on your hands and -- last but definitely not least -- mosquitoes giving you long nasty itches. Felt like that all my 50 odd years, except maybe one time when did go on an actual hike, by which confirmed my aversion. These 56 minutes of cinema have made me want to try again! Best of luck to you and your family!❤❤❤

    In Scotland when your camping in the Carn Gorms in January it's possible to fall sleep wake up and it's so cold you can snap your hair it's so cold it just snaps with the frost ice around it ,it's quite something.always sleep with a balaclava with eye and mouth holes both are very important or you could burn of your nose or lips with vicious frost bite .
