The body can make 10,000 iu in 15 minutes of summer sun even in Northern Climates. Please don't make me go and find that study! 
It's another issue entirely if you can't make or absorb the vitamin d - that's why a vitamin d test is good to do. Supplementing vitamin d when your body can and is making it is not the best use of resources.
I wouldn't argue on that point. But I'm afraid you're missing my point here. A lot of us live in areas where we only get sun for a short few months (I'm in Vancouver, Canada. This definitely apply's to me). In the Summer months, sure, once you get up to a good base level you can probably be alright not supplementing during the Summer. I don't know, honestly. But during the winter months? Or the fall months? Even a lot of some peoples Spring months. On many of those days you essentially produce next to no vitamin D and you go into your hibernation mode. Your body starts working less efficient in its bid to preserve as many resources as it can through this "hardship". This affects people to different degrees, but most of us do feel more crappy all through the crappy months.
The theory supports evidence that your body may even purposefully get sick during the drab months, in order to make you bed ridden so you don't move and cause it to use energy. It doesn't understand you may have a job, or you need to get stuff done. All it knows is it wants you to sit around and do nothing because it feels its top priority is to conserve its resources in case really bad things start to happen. This prevents healing to a huge degree, in all ways.
Evidence is suggesting that a baseline, every single day of your life, could be in the range of 30,000 IU minimum. Or at the very least, 20,000. On sunny days this doesn't seem like a problem. Sitting in the sun a lot this Summer, I began to notice an instinctual "okay get the hell out of the sun now" feeling when I felt I had enough. The thing is, even in the Summer, there were still a decent amount of cloudy days too. I was also stuck inside of a big warehouse for so many, many precious hours of it. Being in the shade would have done me so much more good than being completely blocked from the sun by building. In my mind, this made for a more confusing time for my body that is unnatural, as in older times so much more time I imagine would have been spent, at the least, in shade.
I fully agree. I would never trust artificial supplement products of any kind.

Grant you, there's a lot of filler in those things, yes. That is crap. But the vitamin D itself you don't actually absorb into your cells and keep there. It circulates in the blood (in the same form as it normally would, after getting converted in the liver) and tells your receptors to do all sorts of nice good things like proper regulation of balanced minerals and bone building. I agree, I admit I don't like taking it in this form either because of the fillers. I hear the liquid form is a lot better, but a bit more expensive. But, I understand now that the alternative is much worse. After the research I've done, I know my vitamin D intake needs to go up dramatically. The alternative is a continual degradation of my body while it uses up its life force trying to struggle against unnatural conditions. I need to tell my body its in sunny, shady, Africa, not cold and snowy Canada.
People leaving testimonials as to high dosage vitamin D therapy sound extremely promising. When upping their intake smartly, they seem to rid themselves of many chronic problems of many kinds.
The only true way to know if you're maintaining a proper level is a vitamin D test, so its best to get those every 6 months maybe? I've yet to do mine, but plan to in November. I suspect very low numbers.
Vitamin D is actually rather inexpensive. I understand its much cheaper in the states than in Canada, but I pay about 8 bucks for 240,000 IU. This lasts me about 2/3's of a month I'd say. If you take a modest 10,000 IU a day you could probably get away with paying less than 5 dollars a month? I'm not sure, you'd have to check your prices if you decide to try it. From what I hear though, it takes a minimum 15k IU per day to make a decent impact on blood levels.
The vitamin K2 on the other hand is more pricey. I think about 10 bucks per month mayhaps? Again, not sure about your prices.
