    This video was stunningly beautiful...the cinematic landscapes...nature's beauty and personality...the thoughtful narration and commentaries...the real slice of life moments when you tour...the lovely balance of energy between you and Bendik...the passion you have for nature and foraging, which is really one and the same...yes, I could go on and on. Most importantly your filmmaking touches the deepest part of me and I am enthralled...never want the video to end. Please keep doing what you do, and keep sharing. It is a special treat for those who watch. ❤

    I just needed a break from the chaos in my life after a bunch of family issues kept me busy the entire day and left me crying on my floor feeling totally overwhelmed by the thought of having to head out in order to spend two more hours taking care of my animals... But your video provided just the perfect combination of distraction, calmness, inspiration & motivation... So now I am ready to head out 💪🏼
    And I remembered that I once wrote to you that your voice us very powerful, I basically meant the same thing that your student said I guess. You really do have a special strength in your voice, I think that every time I am listening to you ✨

    I was not having a particularly great day today. I was tired and a bit depressed, but now, after watching 10 of your beautiful videos, I feel rested and inspired. I too love your voice as one of your students mentioned. Your husband is truly a lucky man. My wife, Susan, loves your videos as well. I am a photographer and I forage for medicinal herbs and wild edibles in the state of Maine in the US. Thank you for teaching the younger folk what you know about nature. I believe that that knowledge will be needed in the not too distant future.

      I am so glad my videos could uplift you on a depressing day, that means so much to me to know. How nice to talk to a fellow forager and photographer on here too❤️. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comment. I agree, it might become useful sooner than we know, and what a waste if the knowledge of it had gotten lost then. Wishing you and your wife a good weekend.

    OH MY GOSH!!!! Those railroad bikes! What JOY! We don’t have those here. I’d LOVE THAT! You live in a beautiful part of the world! How did you & your boyfriend meet? Was it in school? Ya’ll share many interests. I am interested in your work. I am a master Gardner & always enjoyed wildlife gardening. Your country is a wildlife garden! Stunning! In your home tour you had a beautiful long burgundy dress hanging against the wall. Looks like something I’d wear. In your slow times, you said you THINK ALOT & insecurities can creep in… you have nothing to worry about with your image. You are lovely! It’s so refreshing to see a female showing natural beauty & not all caked up with makeup! Hope you don’t change that. Looking forward to more videos…, seeing more of the beauty in Norway, catching tid bits of your artistic style. I’ve always enjoyed 2nd hand & vintage shopping. Where do you find clothes there that reflect your style? & on a budget. Take care & carry on!

      We met in a self defence course (Krav Maga). Maybe a story for a video sometime, because its not the typical one, haha.
      The burgundy dress is from Bendiks great grandmother, so 1910 or something like that. Its a treasure, so glad you noticed it.

    Hi Maria! Your video is absolutely wonderful. It’s not silly at all teaching this knowledge to the kids. What you and Bendick are doing is extremely important. Norway is a magical place and I love to see the scenery. Much of it reminds me of where we live but the mountains of Norway are so grand. There are some cranberry bogs up this way. Does Norway have Thimbleberries? We have them here but they do not grow everywhere. People pay big money for gallons of thimbleberries. Your Kulning is beautiful and it’s so cute that the student mentioned you have a Viking Queen voice. Now that’s a compliment. The railroad bike looked like so much fun to tour the country side. Enjoyed the tour of the barn Airbnb. So cool. Love the video! 🙌🏻🙋‍♀️

My listening pleasure is at night in bed including podcasts, etc. You will be a welcomed addition to that. If you don't already have a sleep video, you should imo. So Pleasant.

    Such an interesting and relaxing film of your time away working. I was wondering how your cat manages when you are away, does a neighbour care for him? When you are out foraging is there any danger you might pick up a poisonous berry or mushroom by mistake? I was watching the film 'Phantom Thread' last night and mushrooms are picked and cooked that look almost the same as a poisonous one. Why do you wash so many towels, are they used at the classes? Sorry to ask so many questions! Thank you, Caroline

      He is very well cared for by the other people that live on this farm that he already knows and is comfortable with 😊.
      There is no danger of this when I am foraging things I am familiar with, I would never risk that. I never eat anything I have not reasearched in depth. If am not 100% certain I do not eat it or give it to others.
      The towels are for the paper making, we spill a lot of water in the workshops and they need it on their work station 😊. We dry them every day.
      I hope that answered what you were wondering about 😊

I always have questions and I find your films very interesting and relaxing to watch. A few miles away a group of people went into the forest four years ago and picked what they thought were chanterelle mushrooms but were jack o lantern fungus which to the untrained eye does look similar. They are still alive but the poison damaged their kidneys and liver which is what the local newpaper reported. You do have a trained eye and thank you again for your film. Best wishes Caroline.

    I will be the first to admit is not cheap, but given the characteristics of your job, a big van will be more adequate. The major inconvenience I think beyond the cost is the distances in Norway, air trips will be faster to certain areas. If you can handle some discomfort, a small van like a Ford Transit Connect plus a trailer. It will be cheaper to maintain and more functional than a car (I am not objective, I plan to return to van life very soon.)
