Everyone was working hard... but Jojo and Julius were truly amazing, perpetually in Barefoot Beast Mode. I wish them success in someday getting their own homestead!
The German couple was delightful, great vibes , great energy, and great work ethics. All of your guests are great ppl. It was a very rejuvenating productive team. Love it. ❤
For some reason I kept thinking of the Flintstones when I saw Jojo go. A hunter gatherer, par excellence. It's great to see these youngsters going all out. Superbly filmed. Jojo lives up to her name, at least when the word YoYo has the same meaning in Germany. She just keeps going and coming. For a moment I really thought they were paid by the wheelbarrow, haha. What a pace. Very nice episode. Thank you.
I grew up in the Southerntier of New York State, USA. We had a small farm and my father worked as a mechanical engineer full time. In the Summer, most Saturday evenings, my father set a bonfire. It could be seen throughout the valley. Over the evening, neighbors would arrive carrying foods and beverages....meats to cook over the fire. We all sat on logs around the fire. We chatted and laughed until well after midnight when most of the children had fallen asleep on blankets, and the moon was bright. Good memories.
Last October I lost my husband unexpectedly. I look forward to Sundays to watch the next episode of your story. It’s nice to have a man around the house.
Sincere condolences for your loss. Martin’s videos touch many people in various ways. I’m so glad that his videos bring you some comfort Best wishes to you and your family
It has been a pleasure to watch you for nearly 3 years progress rock by rock, shovel load by shovel load, nail by nail into building and rebuilding a sustainable and beautiful house in an unbelievably scenic setting. Your effort and perspective is inspirational.
I'm an elderly person watching from the southwest desert in the USA. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and process with the world. Even from so far away, I also enjoy the campfire! But even more, I am inspired by your meticulous diligence and the excellence of your work, not to mention the views of the spectacular scenery. Many thanks again. 🙂👍
One day you'll be sitting back and recalling all the people who have joined you in your journey to bring your dream to fruition. They will be fond memories of hard work, yes, but friendships, too. It's amazing how far you've come already and the beauty you've created. Thanks for sharing these times with your viewers from around the world. We look forward to the rest of your story.
This is one journey that I don't want to end.The joy and serene comfort you bring every week is pure bliss.Thanks so much Martijn and your helpers, too.
It would be amazing when the project is finished that all the people that helped along the way can back to have a reunion all together to meet each other
Ja, ik heb je video gezien hoe iedereen je geholpen heeft. Ik kan alleen maar BEWONDERING voor jou en je helpers hebben en ook dat het allemaal gaat in harmonie. Leuk van je dat jojo ook de bulldozer mocht bedienen. Diversiteit en inclusie, daar gaat het om. Veel plezier weer volgende week en sterkte.🤩👌
@@scottmckenzie2439 He's said that one of his visions for the future would be a long elegant table at which every single volunteer is seated, celebrating the homestead and eating food grown on site!
@@Chiro75I have gone bear footed everyday here in Australia even in the bush and working around many houses and I have never got tetanus. I’m nearly 73 so I think I’m doing well. You do know we live in the 21st Century where you can get a tetanus injection, I have had 2 of those though but in my childhood in the 50’s when I stood on nails. If I do wear shoes it’s mainly flip flops or shoes when I go out in winter. My shoes come off the minute I get home. That is why I agree that I am a savage like Martijn called us. I think the whole world thinks Australian is full of savages anyway and that’s ok with me. Thanks for another great video Martijn From Australia
A moving outro Martijn talking about your young helpers. Nostalgia rises for me. I'm in my mid seventies now. Those young folks are me, back when I was young. I built a house out of stone from the land (never again I might say. I see what bricks are all about). It's a comfort to me to see that the young 'uns are still keeping the faith. Makes me realise that we're going to be alright. This is a pivotal time for humanity, touch and go, but we're going to be alright. Onwards and upwards. Cheers
@@janetjilote6495 If you check who I responded to it wasn't this person. The one I responded to has now deleted his post, it said something to the effect that Martjin was using her as SLAVE labor!!
you could see how much martijn respected and admired julius and jojo. great energy. I wouldn't be surprised if we see them coming back sometime. great progress btw.
Would LOVE to have them rehab those other abandoned stone houses Martin sometimes visits. And I agree they would make great (younger) neighbors. You need young strong blood up there in the mountains to help survive in rough circumstances. Johannes is kind, but not always around... Everyone needs consistent companionship
A handful of good people can move mountains. This project is far more than building a home. It is poetic how a bunch of guys from all over Europe can unite through TH-cam and work together in unison.
I’m impressed by your ability not only as a designer and hard working artist but as a community builder too. The one on line and the volunteers group. Good for you!
Julius and Jojo are such an interesting people, it's so nice that they found each other, they match each other's energy perfectly. Excavation would be much longer job without their help that's for sure.
This is the episode with the best team spirit since building the roof of cottage #1. one of my favorite so far besides the episodes with your family. And Johannes is back 👍
I love how everyone leaves a piece of them selves as a gift to the land. Jojo and Julius were phenomenal, they will make whatever dream they have a reality.
I really felt this and last week's group of people were just amazing. Full of positivity, I think you described them so accurately! All the best for them, congrats for the hard work. And amazing progress, Martijn. You deserve these kind groups of people around you, because you are so positive too!
Thank you Martin, it gives me hope in humanity to see how people can work together for a common project without profit. Thank to all the good will people I have seen so far in your videos
Once again Martijn, what a wonderful video!! Julius and JoJo have outdone themselves once more, but every helper you’ve had has been fantastic .. so hardworking and dedicated. You’ve achieved so much over the past few weeks .. every Sunday you bring joy to us who follow you - thank you for allowing us to share a little of your daily life ❤
Every episode brings joy. This one especially. Wishing Julius and JoJo much success in their studies and future plans. So good to see Johannes and the young people here. Regards to all the community. Thank you, Martijn, for sharing your work and vision.
I loved this video Martijn, especially seeing Father Johannes towards the end, I miss his videos. What a wonderful group of helpers you had and achieved an enormous amount of work that would have probably have taken you more than a month and a sore back to do it on your own, they all worked incredibly hard, and it's great to see all the progress being made. Well done everyone. I never get tired of seeing the beautiful countryside you live in, the views are incredible, no matter what time of the year it always looks beautiful even if a bit daunting during the Winter when you get snow.
Another epic vlog Martijn! How incredible your volunteers are, what a blessing to have the opportunity to share your journey with such a range of marvellous, diligent and diverse humans. Your life is an inspiration and your cinematography is a joy to me. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Well done, DREAM team. What a bunch of very gifted, competent, and hardworking individuals. We are so PROUD of all of you. I just love the eerie sound of the Cello in the background music. Until next week. Much love xxx
What a hard-working, congenial crew! The terracing is spectacular, transformative! When it's gravel and green grass, it's going to be gorgeous! REALLY looking forward to the workshop build! QUOTE OF THE DAY: "They don't want gloves. They're bare feet. They're savages..." 😆
Martijn- please have a book for your volunteers to sign as well as record any thoughts or comments regarding their stay. The book will serve as a reminder of all the friends who helped contribute towards the realization of your homestead. It will be wonderful, after many years have passed to revisit the pages and reminisce about all the friends who left an imprint on the homestead.
.....his movies are a testament to their presence, hopefully one day he compiles all of the out takes into one big 3 hour documentary with a where are they now segment at the end.
Heartwarming to see people helping each other, lifting each other up, helping make dreams into reality. A wonderful way to live life….hard work, creativity, great friends, restful beautiful breaks to appreciate what you have in your life!❤
It’s so wonderful to see the progress over the past few weeks! Beautifully presented and inspiring, loved the foraging chanterelles. Great to see the relaxed evening☮️👌🤘
What a week, so much achieved and all of a sudden everyone has gone, following their own paths and dreams. Thank you Martijn. Best wishes to you all, catch up next time.
Especially touching to watch Maxym make the Ukrainian dumplings for the evening meal, bringing memories of his homeland to everyone. European life in its rich diversity and beauty was fully depicted in this video, with the beautifully resurfaced table the iconic symbol of people coming together to share work and food on an ancient mountain.
What a great team! Amazing people and such hard workers. Such progress made. Jojo was the hardest working girl I’ve seen. Such a blessing. God bless you all.
There’s something so rewarding about doing a few days of hard manual labour. Really feels like you accomplished something. And I bet Martijns helpers felt the same.
The greatest gift we pass on to the next generation is the opportunity to try a new skill. This requires patience and positive guidances. Bravo Martijn
Such a hard-working episode but willing youth can do a lot. When we have had good company it is always a bit sad when they leave. You were blessed with good weather.
Wow, what a great group of people in your tribe Martijn. A very satisfying week of work, rewarded by beautiful food and campfire. You are all inspirational. Your videos are the reason for the first time I have wished to be young again! Thank you Martin for sharing your life with us.
Jojo worked harder than the boys. Yeah I said that. Been watching since stones were missing on the roof. This transformation is amazing to watch happen. Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship sir!
The outro monologue say it all.. the passion, the thanksfulness in your voice for the life you live, the people you meet.. this is Beautiful. It mean a lot for me, so Thank you really.. to share all of this with us. You inspire me i'm 22, i do studies in glass art design in France, and one day i will have a project like yours. It's a dream, it's always has been a dream, and i will realise it somewhere in Alps or pyrenees maybe. I really wish to come to visit you sometime, if you want. I don't know when, maybe next summer ? Seeing things like your project feed the flame, i mean the will that burn in my heart to live this beautiful life !!
Go "Team Martijn!" What a memory to "build" upon! Hope Julius and JoJo's dreams come true for them. Maybe neighbors with a future "sister" TH-cam channel? Actually, Martijn, you single-handedly may be promoting a coming community to the area. Looks pretty majestic and alluring. Other than the obvious well-deserved praise for the "team", I too enjoyed the badminton interplay, Ukrainian dumplings, the picture-perfect shot of the rooster and chickens by the greenhouse, everyone having their hand on sanding the table, walking to the lookout ledge for the view--quietly soaking it in and restoring, learning the crane, taking part in cooking the meals--be it mushrooms, dumplings, pancakes, or squash, and Johannes friendly pop-in. Martijn, Julius, JoJo, Maksym, Arquimedes, Ivan, Johannes...huge respect to you all! Keep going and playing it forward... Good things await! You are a testament to us all. 👏
I have been watching every week since almost the beginning. This is the first time I shed tears. Tears of happiness for you during the outro monologue. It's a beautiful thing you are creating, and I could really feel your pride and belonging in that moment. This path is so much closer to humanity even though it's so much farther from the masses. I threw in some tears of sadness for me while I was at it. Bravo Martijn!
Fantastic team! Amazing to see how much work can be accomplished with extra hands on board! Looking forward to seeing the workshop come to life! Cheers mate!
"The pride that you take in your work is truly inspiring." You take new learnings and lessons with ease and grace; I respect your flexibility and open mind. When you make up your mind, nothing stands in your way. Your enthusiasm for adventure is contagious and exciting. You seem to really know who you are. I love how you balance play with work - you remind me not to take myself so seriously all the time. You have an excellent eye for capturing moments through photos and videos. I love the pictures you share on social media. Your enthusiasm for adventure is contagious and exciting. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Best regards, Paul Böttner
We love that the young helpers come from many nations and gather around the table to share meals and the camp fire. Great progress for the shed build. And the road. Table is beautiful. I love the badminton! I grew up in a family that played all the time
Thinking on the scene where Johannes stops by for a visit...it is a lovely thing is it not to have friends who witness the momentous and small transformations in our lives, whether spiritually, mentally, physically...that bring the good, healthy into our lives, empowering us and others, to be brave, be kind and encouraging, to step out of comfort zones...to live big, be bold...so much good stuff to glean...in my humble opinion
I enjoyed every minute of this episode. I’m more impressed than ever at the hard work and smart planning. Terrific workers! And Judah Earl’s cello at the end always moves me. It fits Martijn and the landscape perfectly.
what an incredible video. Your work crew did a fantastic job. Everyone seemed to get along and enjoy each other's company. Great! The night view of the valley with full moon was just amazing. And the camp fire with everyone enjoying food was right on! Watching this video, made me want so much to be there with you all.
I never tire of watching the progress you make; each step makes your property more cozy. What hard working group who came to help as always seems as though you find the cream of the crop. Happy Sunday to you.
Every Sunday, I plan my mornings or evenings around every episode. I’ve been watching since the very beginning when you first started airing episodes on the your homestead land, I truly find it😊 so inspiring, the scenery amazing! The cabins are just so beautiful thank you for creating your awesome TH-cam 😅channel thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. I watch from Northern California. Appreciate everything you’ve done. Thank you again Sonia.
So nice to see people, friends and new friends coming to give some time to help you in your projects. You are such a nice person, that is the reason why people are happy to come and help you. Can’t wait to next week video for the continuitymof the project. Thanks!
Two german vikings, a spaniard, a french ukrainian and an italian helping a dutch guy on his property in the italian alps. What a world
What a wonderful world indeed!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole world could be like these 7 young people, work together, friends. Best video on TH-cam
Everyone was working hard... but Jojo and Julius were truly amazing, perpetually in Barefoot Beast Mode. I wish them success in someday getting their own homestead!

The same as you too.
It is always nice when Johannes shows up.

As the Beatles sang, I get by with a little help from my friends. You have a wonderful community!

This is the episode with the best team spirit since building the roof of cottage #1. one of my favorite so far besides the episodes with your family. And Johannes is back 👍
127 videos in Martijn and we're all still with you!
How fortunate to have such a hardworking group visiting to assist around your place. So much was accomplished!
yeah was thinking the same...must feel blessed to have such helpers....making great progress too
what fantastic young people. Friendship does not recognise international boundaries.
Power to the women!! 😊

The soil looks so rich and you have such organized and fast “runners.” Friendships are gratifying and powerful.
Stone out of the ground for the new walls. A hardworking group of great people. Shared meals and campfires each night. You are a lucky cat, Martijn!

What a beautiful sound ... "Pancakes are ready." It's the sound of home, isn't it. I'm happy for you Martijn.
Gratefulness on full display!! Love the outro with tributes to your volunteers and the eternal campfire! Keep up the great work Martijn!!

Other than the obvious well-deserved praise for the "team", I too enjoyed the badminton interplay, Ukrainian dumplings, the picture-perfect shot of the rooster and chickens by the greenhouse, everyone having their hand on sanding the table, walking to the lookout ledge for the view--quietly soaking it in and restoring, learning the crane, taking part in cooking the meals--be it mushrooms, dumplings, pancakes, or squash, and Johannes friendly pop-in. Martijn, Julius, JoJo, Maksym, Arquimedes, Ivan, Johannes...huge respect to you all! Keep going and playing it forward... Good things await! You are a testament to us all. 👏
Tolle Helfer alle zusammen und es hat mich gefreut Johannes wieder zu sehen 😊
Dreams come true when you transform what you created with real effort, endurance,courage and learn to love it in the process.
I have been watching every week since almost the beginning. This is the first time I shed tears. Tears of happiness for you during the outro monologue. It's a beautiful thing you are creating, and I could really feel your pride and belonging in that moment. This path is so much closer to humanity even though it's so much farther from the masses. I threw in some tears of sadness for me while I was at it. Bravo Martijn!
What a great bunch of people, it's so nice to see people from different countries getting on, and working hard together. Well done to all.
Fantastic team! Amazing to see how much work can be accomplished with extra hands on board! Looking forward to seeing the workshop come to life! Cheers mate!
Lovely to see Johannes
This episode made me weep with hope as I watched these young people. Thank you Martijin for providing such an opportunity for them.
Great Outro this week - A happy and satisified man. This channel is the gift that keeps giving - excellent work Martijn and Co.
This is the life, the dream. To have a patch of land with enough projects to keep you going for years. I would love this
"The pride that you take in your work is truly inspiring."
You take new learnings and lessons with ease and grace; I respect your flexibility and open mind.
When you make up your mind, nothing stands in your way. Your enthusiasm for adventure is contagious and exciting.
You seem to really know who you are.
I love how you balance play with work - you remind me not to take myself so seriously all the time.
You have an excellent eye for capturing moments through photos and videos. I love the pictures you share on social media.
Your enthusiasm for adventure is contagious and exciting.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Best regards,

We love that the young helpers come from many nations and gather around the table to share meals and the camp fire. Great progress for the shed build. And the road. Table is beautiful. I love the badminton! I grew up in a family that played all the time
And the beautiful sound of the cello. Perfect background.
Music is by Judah Earl. He has a channel on TH-cam.
Such a great group of helpers this week. Great teamwork. Awesome mushroom forage too. Lovely episode Martijn, thank you.
Thinking on the scene where Johannes stops by for a visit...it is a lovely thing is it not to have friends who witness the momentous and small transformations in our lives, whether spiritually, mentally, physically...that bring the good, healthy into our lives, empowering us and others, to be brave, be kind and encouraging, to step out of comfort zones...to live big, be bold...so much good stuff to glean...in my humble opinion
Well said. Thank you
I enjoyed every minute of this episode. I’m more impressed than ever at the hard work and smart planning. Terrific workers! And Judah Earl’s cello at the end always moves me. It fits Martijn and the landscape perfectly.
what an incredible video. Your work crew did a fantastic job. Everyone seemed to get along and enjoy each other's company. Great! The night view of the valley with full moon was just amazing. And the camp fire with everyone enjoying food was right on! Watching this video, made me want so much to be there with you all.
Perhaps my favorite episodes and there’s been many. Inspiring group of young people. Awed by Julius and Jo Jo to whom I wish the very best.
All the seasons are your favorite. Thanks for including us in your videos.
That girl is a power house!!!!
I never tire of watching the progress you make; each step makes your property more cozy.
What hard working group who came to help as always seems as though you find the cream of the crop. Happy Sunday to you.
