i agree w what you are doing, thinking, feeling. Have we reached max evil yet ? Idk but the fight goes on, stay as strong as you can, keep to ur daily chores, tomorrow is another day. May you live in interesting times. Fab work on the root cellar and wood shed, also w your little man.
Vreselijk wat jullie is overkomen , verdienmodel voor weer een kleine club en het is verre weg van groen ! Het is straks dat wij deze troep moeten opruimen , wens jullie veel liefs en sterkte toe vanuit Nederland . Frya 👍❤️✌️
You guys are a kind of exceptional people. You deserve my highest respect for the live you chose and the principles that guide you. The sarcastic critics you receive come from a part of the society who, like Zombies, are going with the flow afraid to lost their Iphone if they not obey! BTW your video graphic skills are growing big with every video!
I love how authentic your family is. Stay true to your beliefs. You can not help others ignorance and lack of perspective. Greed is ugly and don't let them take away your passion. Love from Fargo North Dakota USA.
I feel you with the wind turbine situation, where I live here on the coast of Saaremaa, Estonia they plan also an enormous wind farm with turbines up to 300m (!). Untouched seashores at the moment and many migrating birds here, it's absolute insane if they would do this. Prayers and courage to you to stand strong :)
I noticed when my children were small that right after recovering from a stress (such as cutting teeth) they would make a jump so to speak in their abilities and maturity. If you suspect that fevers and illnesses are a detoxification process this seems to make sense. My dad was a dentist and he believed that the pediatricians were wrong to say that fevers have nothing to do with cutting teeth - that the physical stress to push teeth through the gums is huge. Parents of course have known this forever. Thank you for beautiful video. Love from Chicagoland.
Thanks! Yes, we are on board with the knowledge that dis-ease is a result of healing and/or detoxing. The therapy is uncomfortable, but nothing to fear.
My children all ran fevers when cutting teeth. My oldest son also got ear infections in conjunction with it. Teething was no fun. Unfortunately everyone has Covid now and initially no on picked up on it. It is pretty mild except for headache, body aches and fever.
Dear Mathias and Tova We really enjoyed this video ❤ We’re so sorry to hear that you had a hard time with the windturbine video. We think it was amazing, and were stunned by the amount of creativity you were able to put in in a time of such a threat. We answered the questionnaire immediately. Julian helped stop windturbines coming up in our area 10 years ago, so he knows exactly how you feel. Thank you for the update, and we wish you all the best, also with the forest. May you live happily surrounded by the peace and nature you came for 🌲🌲 Best regards from Småland, Annie & Julian
So glad to see parents that are willing to help the younger generation. Just spent a week in Vermont helping my oldest son who is building off grid "Over the river and through the woods". They are also building a U tube channel on their build. Good luck and God bless.
Really hope the little forest by the cabins by Tova’s family is saved. And that those awful windmills are not coming . Beautiful shed and great work on the earth cellar. Wishing you all the best !! 🤎🔥🪵🍂
Too many things these days come in the guise of saving the earth when they do just the opposite. Sad thing is, they are starting to be forced on everyone whether we share their views or not. I hope you guys will be able to keep your heads up and not let it get you down. 🥰
I agree that wind turbines are not the answer. Anybody that thinks they are a "green" solution is delusional. Your videos are done so beautifully. I love your natural life style and pray our children and their children have the option to enjoy the same lifestyle.
Know that my heart goes out to the three of you, and of course Tova's family. It's must be so difficult to want to live the kind of life you do when you decide to choose peace and quiet and your simple life, then it is threatened. Do not fear being honest because lies and fabrications earn no respect, and we respect you all. Your humbleness and your ability to learn and teach yourself is what makes you who you are. I'm sorry that all this stress is impending on your ability to enjoy your days at the moment. I enjoy your videos and how you are changing the way people think about the environment and the earth around you by being a good example and steward . Sending positive thoughts your way.
I have been watching you guys for over three years now. I and my partner live in Portugal but are struggling with similar problems regarding wind turbines or monoculture plantations, forest fires etc. I am in awe of what you're doing and how you live. Regenerating land, being as self sufficient as possible and live in tune with nature is a way forward. All the best and don't let some humans affect you. Their opinions are just that. They have nothing to do with you 💜
You are right about the wind turbine situation. Not everything is as good as it might seem. Your honesty is much appreciated and it should be. Thank you. 🌲🌳🍀🧚♀️
I’m so sorry that you are facing these things. It’s so wrong that they are trying to destroy your home. Your family works very hard to live as consciously as possible and very thoughtful. We are all fighting a battle against an evil that wants to destroy our way of life and they’re using lies and destroying so much and so many. If you don’t just go along with the lies as though it’s truth then they threaten your livelihood. It’s so evil. We are truly in a spiritual battle. God bless your family. 🌷
Hello from Edinburgh Scotland again. Please do not be so hard on yourselves. I love to create various things. Sewing,painting, woodwork etc etc. As my great grandmother said when I was small over sixty years ago, " as people who like to create things, for some reason we are always our worst critics. We find small details to worry over, when no one else but us noticed them, Others say what a beautiful thing you have created. And we say but one small stitch is too small, or one thing is slightly too big. Who will notice but us. Accept the praise and revel in the fact that you created this with your own hands. It is a thing of wonder to be proud of". You are doing so well with your lives. Be as proud of yourselves as we are of you. You are an inspiration to all, and if we had more people like you both in this world, we wouldn't be in this situation. In Scotland and most of UK, there are hundreds of turbines atop of hills and mountains. They are a monstrosity on the landscape. When they shatter or wear down the pieces are left all over. These are picked up by wildlife and are destroying the habitat. The noise is very annoying. I have very sensitive hearing and it really grates on my nerves, preventing sleep and peace. Places that are national parks, and ancient woodlands are now wind farms. We also have thousands of these monsters in the oceans. I believe the vibrations affect the wildlife and we get more strandings of whales every year. Keep up with your way and be proud. It is easy to go along and have the easy life. Many people these days say " if it doesn't affect me I don't want to know" little realising that it affects us all in the long run. We are very proud of you and you inspire even old grannies like myself to do better and be a better person. Much love to all three of you. Yvar will be very proud as he gets older and watches your videos. Xxx
Just remember that everyone has an opinion, and take it as a grain of salt. Keep your course and don’t be so hard on yourself. You all have accomplished so much!! Blessing from southwest Missouri, 🇺🇸
If more people would work to live your lifestyle of self-sufficiency the world would not be in the ways it is now. Please keep doing your videos they are very well done. Thank You
Unfortunately, the majority of people just don't want to work that hard - if at all - they want an easy life at the flick of a switch, so they support more sources of electricity in case they are inconvenienced by power outages
Mathias you have gotten so much accomplished. I'm glad you had help from your father-in-law. The outbuilding and the cellar are wonderful. I'm glad Ivar is feeling better!
I’m from Canada, I know how you guys feel about the wind farms, I live out in the country and when I look out my window we are surrounded by wind turbines, very ugly at night to you just see flashing red lights, on a happier note love your videos it looks so peaceful where you live !
I understand your anger with destroying our environment. We have the same issues with turbines here in the USA as well as our government does exactly what it wants regardless of any rules set in place. They only tell us what they want us to know & lie to us. Keep your head held high for you are right in your mindset. I’m so glad Ivar is better. You both are wonderful, inspiring, parents & people to be admired! God Bless You All!
Thank you again for the update and congratulations on finishing the root cellar and the wood shed! I really hope those daunting circumstances will turn around somehow and you will be spared🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Ivar is such joy to watch, melts my heart 💜 All the best for you and thank you for sharing your life and beliefs while staying open for others opinions as well.
Another awesome video! Stone and dirt work is back breaking for sure! You folks are the salt of the earth, and it needs more stewards like you. Forest practices where I live, is all about greed and power with little thought to the environment. This will change your entire homestead! Stay strong folks and do everything you can to preserve your lifestyle and surrounding forests. Hugs from Canada
Thank you for sharing Tova, and Mathias. I appreciate what you are doing, we may not agree on everything, but that you care about how much of a footprint you leave on this earth is very clear to me, and for that, I will keep coming back.
It is wonderful that you actually care what condition you are leaving the earth in and have the conviction to stay true to your vision. If only there were more like you!
You guys are some of my favorite people, I love your channel for its practicality and artful nature. This is how we are meant to live I truly believe it. Thanks for sharing your family's intelligence and creativity with the TH-cam lens. Thank you thank you!
The rocks and cellar look superb guys. Mathias- you are a machine. I'm 45 years old and starting to notice that hard work with a shovel and a wheel barrow can hurt. I bought a 150mm thick leather weight lifting belt to use as a back brace/ support- it has helped immensely. Our calandula is growing all over the place- thanks to Tova we love you guys. Regards J & R
Glad your little one is doing better! You two have made a lot of building progress...your farm is coming along nicely. As for the wind turbines, they mess with our frequencies. They are not healthy for us or the animal kingdom. We currently live in the cabal's world, and energy should not be a religion. I personally think they've hidden solutions from the populace, but now I'm going down the rabbit hole. lol
I’m sorry you got so many negative comments about the windfarm video. I hope you were able to find out how the community where Jonna Jinton lives was able to fend them off. I think one of their arguments had to do with the reindeer the Sami graze in their forests. You both do such a lot of work and I always enjoy your videos. Hugs to Ivar!
Most of the comments where supporting, so we are glad for that, I just wanted to adress some of the negative ones. Sadly the wind farm company seem to have bribed the local Sami village here so we cannot count on them. But with the help of you all, I am confident we can win this. /Mathias
You have a good sense of humor, Mathias. (-> the ‘black chicken moment‘) Tova too. And Ivar most probably too. One gets a back ache by merely watching you handle the rocks, the wheelbarrow and the earth… Concerning energy generation: the human mind is capable of finding the most marvellous solutions and adapting one's behaviour to new situations (e.g. using less energy and resources oneself which multiplies when many individuals do that), but unfortunately also of taking the easy road (finding out too late that it was actually not easy at all but created more severe problems). Thanks for showing us what a wind turbine really is. Looking forward to the video about windfarms. I hope there is a way of saving the trees around Tova's parents' fäbod.
I love y'all 🥰 It's like y'all are my family. I've been watching for so long. I don't comment often and I'm not a Patreon subscriber, but I so enjoy your videos. I live in North East Georgia USA so I get to enjoy another part of the world. God Bless all of you 🌻
Fantastic Progress being made on such important projects; BRAVO!!! Your physical exhaustion and pain, appears to be more bearable when yyou view the accomplishment!! I am so sorry to hear about the ongoing threat of the wind-farming and, the De-foresting of this pristine Nature! There seems to be nothing that we humans are willing to bow to; to humble ourselves; when "Profit-margins" are THE Dominant Motivator. Howeber, the exceptions- families like yours; are doing so much to LIVE the example they wish to pass on to the next generation...My deepest respect and gratitude for you all!!!
The greediness of some human beings is taking a toll on me too, because the decisions of the large corporations affect everyone and everything. There are a lot of people that make a lot of money with the wind turbines. I am so sad and sorry that your lives and nature around you are being affected so much by these large corporations. It is all so overwhelming. Your video is lovely and your cellar is coming along beautifully. Also, the woodshed is really big! It will be nice to not have to worry about the condition of the firewood. Sending you lots of love. ❤
Your homestead gets better and better as you work so hard - amazing cheese cellar - of course you don't want your lifestyle destroyed by big companies. I doubt anyone who comments negatively has ever worked so hard. I love the bit at the end with Ivar walking and laughing - he is such a happy little guy.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here you’re standing up for what you believe in and that’s good I pray that you and your family will be safe in all this and that you will be successful in all you both do your son is growing up really fast and learning quickly too be healthy bless and safe
I support you so much ❤, because we as adults and parents have to do everything what is possible to protect our families, even if someone doesn't like that ❤
You thank your supporters, which is very nice. I think you should also be acknowledging the landowners (parents) who provide you with the land, because if you had to pay for the land, as most young people would have to do, you probably could not be doing what you are doing.
Your firewood shed is absolutely beautiful. I actually would live there. Lol. Love the rock wall. Beautiful. You guys did a great job. I love that you’re working with nature and not destroying it. Thank you for sharing your time with all of us.
I am so glad you guys are keep going despite all the difficulties you are facing. I admire your hard work and your perseverance and self reliance. All the best to you all. xx
If I could share my strength with you, I would. But that's not something I can do. So I wish you all the best and all the strength in the world. You will need it. Please keep trying. We all need what you try to do and share with us. Thank you.
You are an incredible couple who live truly honest and real life…we can only try to understand how hard a life yet so incredibly beautiful at the same time…you dare to live free …I’m tired just watching how very hard you work on a daily basis…God keep you and bless you each and every day…
Always a pleasure to see all of you. We got the same problem with the cutting forest here in Québec, Canada, this is horrible there's nothing we can do for that :( i wish you the best luck and crossing my finger for them not cutting around your house! Bonne journée :)
It’s so sad watching you guys going through this destruction of your beautiful forest ,after all the hard work you guys have done ! I admire your strength and your commitment ❤
Stay strong and hang on to your beliefs you have a beautiful home & family. I love your honesty & conviction you are in my prayers & hope things work out. 🙂🇨🇦❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
grateful for you also , it is a time i spend in peaceful enjoyment , a time i stop the hurry hurry to sit and just relax , enjoy , so thankyou for my beautiful moments of peace
I was actually thinking about that root cellar the other day and hoping you guys had managed to cover it! Thank you for sharing your work with us, it's oddly satisfying - I don't have an investment in your property (other than the windows I donated to) but it gives me a sense of accomplishment when you guys get things done. I know, weird, but it is a good feeling regardless. Please continue sharing, it is greatly appreciated.
I should have watched the whole video before commenting. I didn't hear about the threats you faced and I am sorry you had to deal with them. It's so hard; when you put your life out there for the public to see there is always going to be some idiot who thinks you need to conform to his (or her) way of thinking. I don't get that. I am supportive of renewable energy, but to say there is no problem with windmills is ignorant. There are ways to make them that reduces their impact on wildlife and there are ways to distribute them (like a small one on the house) that also makes more sense, but that isn't going to make money for any large corporations, is it? After doing the research, I decided on solar panels on my home, net metered to the local grid as the best way for me to have renewable energy, but even that is not going to get me off corporate power (80% off though!). When you live in a northern climate, we just don't get enough sun. It is a puzzle that needs thought and research to solve, but you are right, destroying the environment to save it doesn't make any sense. There are just some natural structures (and species!) you can't recreate after you have lost them. That's a very wise sentiment. I wish more people understood it. (Been a patreon subscriber since around episode 34 - you guys are one of only three channels I give money to - and you are certainly the one I would be least likely to drop.)
As always, thank you for sharing. I truly enjoy your videos and learning about you, your family and your life at your home in Sweden. I am amazed at all you do in building your settlement! I applaud you! Life is a struggle all over this world. What you are struggling with there is also a struggle here in the US. All political!!! I love your family and how you all work together. As it should be. Struggles are known by our Heavenly Father and He tells us to come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden. Needless to say, He is my rock! Praying for you and your sweet family! Sending well wishes and love!❤
Look, these are polarizing times. I really appreciate your passion for this wind farm thing. I wouldn’t want them in my back yard either. And I also don’t know what the answer is. I don’t know the answer to many of the more pressing topics these days. It’s sure a drag that we can’t seem to be kinder to each other while we’re searching for those answers. Take good care you three and we’ll see you on the next one
The cellar and woodshed look fantastic! The rock work in front is beautiful, creative. In our world there are so many creative options and people with brilliant ideas. Unfortunately, at this point there are a few who control the flow of advancement due to profitability. However, this cannot last much longer, we as a civilization must move in different directions. There are other solutions to energy use and they are free, thus the "snag". Mr. Nikola Tesla proved this by developing technology in 1895. And we are at the point where it must be reintroduced. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. Sending love and support.
You are amazing. We all are going through hard time but I believe for better world. I believe we will get there. I believe something will stop these turbines. I believe we soon get into creativity that will benefit all. Love you ❤️❤️❤️
Threats!? That is so horrific and wrong. Praying for your family and your safety. One of the reasons I appreciate being able to watch your videos and have a glimpse into your lives is learning from a different perspective. Thank you for providing the opportunity. My daughter always got fevers along with teething.
Thank you for your vidoes,. The best thing to do is IGNORE the negative comments, don't let them discourage you. Just keep doing what you are doing and remember that you are an inspiration for alot of people. Stay safe you and your family ❤❤❤❤
My favorite videos. The first thing I do when I see a new video is check the time, and the longer the better. However, I am thrilled with and appreciate whatever length of time you are able to give. I think the answer to most, if not all, environmental question or issues like this, is less consumption. I imagine it is heartbreaking when you think you have found your solution (homestead rural property and live with less consumption), and the machine still finds a way to encroach on your life and your dream. I hope this works out in your favor, but unfortunately, the problem will just be out of sight, not gone altogether. Thank you for sharing your hearts and lives with us. Wishing you all the best.
Hi there I can understand your frustration and worries. Because for those people it's all about money. And they forget about nature. But it's nice to see that things happening now on your farm. And thanks for the video. Always enjoy you're way of living life. You're done a big job.BUT hope after this winter the new house will be finished 🙄🙂🙃. Looking forward to the move in time. 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡⏳️⏳️⏳️⏳️😁. Greetings from Melinda from South-Africa 🙋🏻♀️
Can I just say that you guys are leading by example to show how a "solution" could look like when it comes to the worlds need for energy! If more people had the willpower to live a lifestyle like you do, there would be no need for wind parks anywhere. It breaks my heart to hear about what's happening around you and I send you lots of positive energy and hugs!
Impressive as always Mathias! I cherish the reuse of the vintage doors. We can't create something aged. Thank you for making time for another video. Love to you guys
I 100% understand your worries and conerns! Well sad" to save the nature by destroying the nature". Definitely something to think about. I agree on everything you say! You bring more awareness into the world! Stay strong and stay in the eye of the storm!
Love the choice of music in your videos, always contributing to the emotions of the moment! 🤗 Sorry to hear your frustration with the current development in your area, but you need to stick your principles as much as you can and show the rest of the world that every effort does matter! 👋Hope Iwar feels better soon 😘
Another beautiful video. We love your family. Has everyone forgotten what happened in the state of Texas in the USA last winter? When an ice storm hit with freezing temperatures and all the turbines failed. Lots of people out of electrical power for days. Keep standing strong!!!!
Thank you so much for opening these topics for discussion and argument. Please disregard those who just try to shut that discussion down. We all need to learn more from each other and that is only possible by listening.
Well done! And I appreciated your comments about criticism of the wind turbines and the reaction you received. I think one of the big problems today is the lack of comfort with the space between identifying problems and their solutions. The rush to agree on one path or another takes away from that space where creativity happens. I don't know what the solution is either to energy generation on a large scale, but that doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't have opinions. Personally, I live on a sailboat and we love our small wind generators. But these devices don't compare with the huge wind turbines you are talking about. I have no experience with those. All the best to your family!
I loved seeing your little family of three & your doggy all sitting together @ end of video! As an outsider looking in from way out in the middle of Nebraska n USA, I see so much love & compassion & understanding & tenderness here!❣️
Tova & Mathias you are so right in what you say, here in the Uk we have these wind turbines most of the time they are turned off, they are unsightly, kill lots of birds and end up thrown on the scrap heap and left to rot .xxx
I love that cellar. Looking good! We too live in a beautiful natural area in Minnesota, USA, where the topic of " destroy the environment to save the environment" is highly argued over. We live in the largest watershed to the largest fresh water lake in the world. Copper mining for electronics and electric vehicles batteries, would threaten to poison this great natural resource. It is sad, and frustrating. But living here, we do what we can, make our voices heard, and collaborate with others who feel the same as we do. Your channel not only entertains us, but inspires us to see ways that we can live together with the earth and protect it. Your family is adorable...and we love the work you do!
Your smile says it all, when you have completed the cellar! I agree with your stance on the windmills, and the forestry companies, they are scoundrels! Thanks for speaking out*
I 100% understand your point of view, these days we can't have an opinion or say things if we don't have the solution as you said. Our government asks us to reduce our electricity consumption, such as putting the heating at 19 celcius in winter instead of 20-21 celcius, because we don't have enough electricity for everyone. But they decide to sell our electricity to the United States and they don't want gasoline cars anymore, just electric cars by 2035...we just don't understand how to do that, and here we can't build wood-burning fireplaces in new constructions in some cities. .Fortunately we have an acquired right at home, and we heat with it.
Such back breaking work but wonderfully done. You've both come along way and the cellar looks fantastic. Was good to see Malva running around and checking out your handy work Mathias. I hope you can find some peace and don't stress over the issues facing you and the forests around you. Unfortunately we live in a world where the rich corporations get away with far too much. Until the next time keep warm and safe 💚💚
I’m sorry you are feeling so discouraged, I understand and would be too, but know you have people who support you and your ideas, if not financially, spiritually. You are truly an earth family. There has been a lot of work going on! I think your sauna feels pretty good to you.

It’s difficult to support saving the earth by destroying the earth… Brilliant words! Stay your course. 🌱
It’s well-said
THIS!!!!!!!
I can't find the right words better than these❤
The world needs more people like yourselves and I admire your ethics and bravery.
Ivar is a lucky boy to have such amazing human beings as his parents. Take care. ♥️🌲🌲🌲
You guys are a kind of exceptional people. You deserve my highest respect for the live you chose and the principles that guide you. The sarcastic critics you receive come from a part of the society who, like Zombies, are going with the flow afraid to lost their Iphone if they not obey! BTW your video graphic skills are growing big with every video!
Very well said! I absolutely agree

Very well said!
I love how authentic your family is. Stay true to your beliefs. You can not help others ignorance and lack of perspective. Greed is ugly and don't let them take away your passion. Love from Fargo North Dakota USA.
I feel you with the wind turbine situation, where I live here on the coast of Saaremaa, Estonia they plan also an enormous wind farm with turbines up to 300m (!). Untouched seashores at the moment and many migrating birds here, it's absolute insane if they would do this. Prayers and courage to you to stand strong :)
I noticed when my children were small that right after recovering from a stress (such as cutting teeth) they would make a jump so to speak in their abilities and maturity. If you suspect that fevers and illnesses are a detoxification process this seems to make sense. My dad was a dentist and he believed that the pediatricians were wrong to say that fevers have nothing to do with cutting teeth - that the physical stress to push teeth through the gums is huge. Parents of course have known this forever. Thank you for beautiful video. Love from Chicagoland.
Thanks! Yes, we are on board with the knowledge that dis-ease is a result of healing and/or detoxing. The therapy is uncomfortable, but nothing to fear.
Don’t worry BE HAPPY.
Good for you. ❤❤❤
My children all ran fevers when cutting teeth. My oldest son also got ear infections in conjunction with it. Teething was no fun. Unfortunately everyone has Covid now and initially no on picked up on it. It is pretty mild except for headache, body aches and fever.

We really enjoyed this video ❤ We’re so sorry to hear that you had a hard time with the windturbine video. We think it was amazing, and were stunned by the amount of creativity you were able to put in in a time of such a threat. We answered the questionnaire immediately.
Julian helped stop windturbines coming up in our area 10 years ago, so he knows exactly how you feel.
Thank you for the update, and we wish you all the best, also with the forest. May you live happily surrounded by the peace and nature you came for 🌲🌲
Best regards from Småland,
Annie & Julian
So glad to see parents that are willing to help the younger generation. Just spent a week in Vermont helping my oldest son who is building off grid "Over the river and through the woods". They are also building a U tube channel on their build. Good luck and God bless.
Really hope the little forest by the cabins by Tova’s family is saved. And that those awful windmills are not coming .
Beautiful shed and great work on the earth cellar.
Wishing you all the best !! 🤎🔥🪵🍂
Too many things these days come in the guise of saving the earth when they do just the opposite. Sad thing is, they are starting to be forced on everyone whether we share their views or not. I hope you guys will be able to keep your heads up and not let it get you down. 🥰

It's must be so difficult to want to live the kind of life you do when you decide to choose peace and quiet and your simple life, then it is threatened. Do not fear being honest because lies and fabrications earn no respect, and we respect you all. Your humbleness and your ability to learn and teach yourself is what makes you who you are. I'm sorry that all this stress is impending on your ability to enjoy your days at the moment. I enjoy your videos and how you are changing the way people think about the environment and the earth around you by being a good example and steward . Sending positive thoughts your way.
Wonderful that your cellar is finished now. So sad about the forest that goes down. Lot of regards from Finland. Take care. 💚💚🏡💚💚
I have been watching you guys for over three years now. I and my partner live in Portugal but are struggling with similar problems regarding wind turbines or monoculture plantations, forest fires etc. I am in awe of what you're doing and how you live. Regenerating land, being as self sufficient as possible and live in tune with nature is a way forward. All the best and don't let some humans affect you. Their opinions are just that.

I dont know how to say...words are completely out off real feelings...
Keep your beautiful souls shinning lovely people!
My heart is with yours!💗
You are right about the wind turbine situation. Not everything is as good as it might seem. Your honesty is much appreciated and it should be. Thank you. 🌲🌳🍀🧚♀️
Absolutely wonderful to see you all. Thank you so very much for sharing your lives with us.I totally understand and agree with your concerns.
Your family is a example of how we should love our environment and protect it. Thank you
I’m so sorry that you are facing these things. It’s so wrong that they are trying to destroy your home. Your family works very hard to live as consciously as possible and very thoughtful. We are all fighting a battle against an evil that wants to destroy our way of life and they’re using lies and destroying so much and so many. If you don’t just go along with the lies as though it’s truth then they threaten your livelihood. It’s so evil. We are truly in a spiritual battle. God bless your family. 🌷
Hello from Edinburgh Scotland again. Please do not be so hard on yourselves. I love to create various things. Sewing,painting, woodwork etc etc. As my great grandmother said when I was small over sixty years ago, " as people who like to create things, for some reason we are always our worst critics. We find small details to worry over, when no one else but us noticed them, Others say what a beautiful thing you have created. And we say but one small stitch is too small, or one thing is slightly too big. Who will notice but us. Accept the praise and revel in the fact that you created this with your own hands. It is a thing of wonder to be proud of". You are doing so well with your lives. Be as proud of yourselves as we are of you. You are an inspiration to all, and if we had more people like you both in this world, we wouldn't be in this situation. In Scotland and most of UK, there are hundreds of turbines atop of hills and mountains. They are a monstrosity on the landscape. When they shatter or wear down the pieces are left all over. These are picked up by wildlife and are destroying the habitat. The noise is very annoying. I have very sensitive hearing and it really grates on my nerves, preventing sleep and peace. Places that are national parks, and ancient woodlands are now wind farms. We also have thousands of these monsters in the oceans. I believe the vibrations affect the wildlife and we get more strandings of whales every year. Keep up with your way and be proud. It is easy to go along and have the easy life. Many people these days say " if it doesn't affect me I don't want to know" little realising that it affects us all in the long run. We are very proud of you and you inspire even old grannies like myself to do better and be a better person. Much love to all three of you. Yvar will be very proud as he gets older and watches your videos. Xxx
Just remember that everyone has an opinion, and take it as a grain of salt. Keep your course and don’t be so hard on yourself. You all have accomplished so much!! Blessing from southwest Missouri, 🇺🇸
Nancy from SW MO, I am Nancy in central MO and really enjoy and admire this channel. Just thought I'd give you a shout. Have a great day.
Im always happy to see the progress of your farm...you guys are such hard working and admirable for helping saving our environment...
If more people would work to live your lifestyle of self-sufficiency the world would not be in the ways it is now. Please keep doing your videos they are very well done. Thank You
Unfortunately, the majority of people just don't want to work that hard - if at all - they want an easy life at the flick of a switch, so they support more sources of electricity in case they are inconvenienced by power outages
Mathias you have gotten so much accomplished. I'm glad you had help from your father-in-law. The outbuilding and the cellar are wonderful. I'm glad Ivar is feeling better!
Just know that you are supported by many and prayers are with you. Love your commitment to each other and the earth. ♥️🙏🏻
Love the stone walls around the cellar door - they look beautiful.
I’m from Canada, I know how you guys feel about the wind farms, I live out in the country and when I look out my window we are surrounded by wind turbines, very ugly at night to you just see flashing red lights, on a happier note love your videos it looks so peaceful where you live !
I understand your anger with destroying our environment. We have the same issues with turbines here in the USA as well as our government does exactly what it wants regardless of any rules set in place. They only tell us what they want us to know & lie to us. Keep your head held high for you are right in your mindset. I’m so glad Ivar is better. You both are wonderful, inspiring, parents & people to be admired! God Bless You All!
Yes, I admire your spirit and courage to take these corporations on. Do well from Sydney Australia
Thank you again for the update and congratulations on finishing the root cellar and the wood shed! I really hope those daunting circumstances will turn around somehow and you will be spared🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Ivar is such joy to watch, melts my heart 💜 All the best for you and thank you for sharing your life and beliefs while staying open for others opinions as well.
Another awesome video! Stone and dirt work is back breaking for sure! You folks are the salt of the earth, and it needs more stewards like you. Forest practices where I live, is all about greed and power with little thought to the environment. This will change your entire homestead! Stay strong folks and do everything you can to preserve your lifestyle and surrounding forests. Hugs from Canada
Thank you for sharing Tova, and Mathias. I appreciate what you are doing, we may not agree on everything, but that you care about how much of a footprint you leave on this earth is very clear to me, and for that, I will keep coming back.
Thank you for your wise words and inspiration❤you are so important for our earth❤thank you thank you thank you❤
Greetings from Austria,
Monika
your videos are medicine for my soul
absolutely!
It is wonderful that you actually care what condition you are leaving the earth in and have the conviction to stay true to your vision. If only there were more like you!
You guys are some of my favorite people, I love your channel for its practicality and artful nature. This is how we are meant to live I truly believe it. Thanks for sharing your family's intelligence and creativity with the TH-cam lens. Thank you thank you!
The rocks and cellar look superb guys. Mathias- you are a machine. I'm 45 years old and starting to notice that hard work with a shovel and a wheel barrow can hurt. I bought a 150mm thick leather weight lifting belt to use as a back brace/ support- it has helped immensely.
Our calandula is growing all over the place- thanks to Tova we love you guys. Regards J & R
Your beautiful music makes all the back breaking work seem very important and majestic.
Glad your little one is doing better! You two have made a lot of building progress...your farm is coming along nicely. As for the wind turbines, they mess with our frequencies. They are not healthy for us or the animal kingdom. We currently live in the cabal's world, and energy should not be a religion. I personally think they've hidden solutions from the populace, but now I'm going down the rabbit hole. lol
Yes, we're down those rabbit holes looking for what is true as well.
I’m sorry you got so many negative comments about the windfarm video. I hope you were able to find out how the community where Jonna Jinton lives was able to fend them off. I think one of their arguments had to do with the reindeer the Sami graze in their forests. You both do such a lot of work and I always enjoy your videos. Hugs to Ivar!
Most of the comments where supporting, so we are glad for that, I just wanted to adress some of the negative ones. Sadly the wind farm company seem to have bribed the local Sami village here so we cannot count on them. But with the help of you all, I am confident we can win this.
/Mathias
@@Talasbuan Oh, no! I’m sorry the Sami were bribed in your area. Darn it!
Beautiful stonework around the cellar. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
You have a good sense of humor, Mathias. (-> the ‘black chicken moment‘) Tova too. And Ivar most probably too. One gets a back ache by merely watching you handle the rocks, the wheelbarrow and the earth… Concerning energy generation: the human mind is capable of finding the most marvellous solutions and adapting one's behaviour to new situations (e.g. using less energy and resources oneself which multiplies when many individuals do that), but unfortunately also of taking the easy road (finding out too late that it was actually not easy at all but created more severe problems). Thanks for showing us what a wind turbine really is. Looking forward to the video about windfarms. I hope there is a way of saving the trees around Tova's parents' fäbod.
I love y'all 🥰 It's like y'all are my family. I've been watching for so long. I don't comment often and I'm not a Patreon subscriber, but I so enjoy your videos. I live in North East Georgia USA so I get to enjoy another part of the world. God Bless all of you 🌻
Fantastic Progress being made on such important projects; BRAVO!!! Your physical exhaustion and pain, appears to be more bearable when yyou view the accomplishment!! I am so sorry to hear about the ongoing threat of the wind-farming and, the De-foresting of this pristine Nature! There seems to be nothing that we humans are willing to bow to; to humble ourselves; when "Profit-margins" are THE Dominant Motivator. Howeber, the exceptions- families like yours; are doing so much to LIVE the example they wish to pass on to the next generation...My deepest respect and gratitude for you all!!!
The greediness of some human beings is taking a toll on me too, because the decisions of the large corporations affect everyone and everything. There are a lot of people that make a lot of money with the wind turbines. I am so sad and sorry that your lives and nature around you are being affected so much by these large corporations. It is all so overwhelming. Your video is lovely and your cellar is coming along beautifully. Also, the woodshed is really big! It will be nice to not have to worry about the condition of the firewood. Sending you lots of love. ❤
Your homestead gets better and better as you work so hard - amazing cheese cellar - of course you don't want your lifestyle destroyed by big companies. I doubt anyone who comments negatively has ever worked so hard. I love the bit at the end with Ivar walking and laughing - he is such a happy little guy.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here you’re standing up for what you believe in and that’s good I pray that you and your family will be safe in all this and that you will be successful in all you both do your son is growing up really fast and learning quickly too be healthy bless and safe
I support you so much ❤, because we as adults and parents have to do everything what is possible to protect our families, even if someone doesn't like that ❤
You thank your supporters, which is very nice. I think you should also be acknowledging the landowners (parents) who provide you with the land, because if you had to pay for the land, as most young people would have to do, you probably could not be doing what you are doing.
Stay true to your beliefs and remember everything is always working out for us all. You guys are amazing! ❤
Your firewood shed is absolutely beautiful. I actually would live there. Lol. Love the rock wall. Beautiful. You guys did a great job. I love that you’re working with nature and not destroying it. Thank you for sharing your time with all of us.
You have learned to express yourself in English so well, compared to when you first started this channel. Well done!
Everything looks beautiful! You are truly the savers of the planet. You’ve got it right! Stay true to what you are doing.
I am so glad you guys are keep going despite all the difficulties you are facing. I admire your hard work and your perseverance and self reliance. All the best to you all. xx
Beautiful work Mathias! Glad Ivar is feeling better! Much love to you 🤗❤ Tova, Mathias and Ivar 😊😘
If I could share my strength with you, I would. But that's not something I can do. So I wish you all the best and all the strength in the world. You will need it. Please keep trying. We all need what you try to do and share with us.
Thank you.
You are an incredible couple who live truly honest and real life…we can only try to understand how hard a life yet so incredibly beautiful at the same time…you dare to live free …I’m tired just watching how very hard you work on a daily basis…God keep you and bless you each and every day…
Always a pleasure to see all of you. We got the same problem with the cutting forest here in Québec, Canada, this is horrible there's nothing we can do for that :( i wish you the best luck and crossing my finger for them not cutting around your house! Bonne journée :)
It’s so sad watching you guys going through this destruction of your beautiful forest ,after all the hard work you guys have done ! I admire your strength and your commitment ❤
Stay strong and hang on to your beliefs you have a beautiful home & family. I love your honesty & conviction you are in my prayers & hope things work out. 🙂🇨🇦❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
grateful for you also , it is a time i spend in peaceful enjoyment , a time i stop the hurry hurry to sit and just relax , enjoy , so thankyou for my beautiful moments of peace
I was actually thinking about that root cellar the other day and hoping you guys had managed to cover it! Thank you for sharing your work with us, it's oddly satisfying - I don't have an investment in your property (other than the windows I donated to) but it gives me a sense of accomplishment when you guys get things done. I know, weird, but it is a good feeling regardless. Please continue sharing, it is greatly appreciated.
I should have watched the whole video before commenting. I didn't hear about the threats you faced and I am sorry you had to deal with them. It's so hard; when you put your life out there for the public to see there is always going to be some idiot who thinks you need to conform to his (or her) way of thinking. I don't get that. I am supportive of renewable energy, but to say there is no problem with windmills is ignorant. There are ways to make them that reduces their impact on wildlife and there are ways to distribute them (like a small one on the house) that also makes more sense, but that isn't going to make money for any large corporations, is it? After doing the research, I decided on solar panels on my home, net metered to the local grid as the best way for me to have renewable energy, but even that is not going to get me off corporate power (80% off though!). When you live in a northern climate, we just don't get enough sun. It is a puzzle that needs thought and research to solve, but you are right, destroying the environment to save it doesn't make any sense. There are just some natural structures (and species!) you can't recreate after you have lost them. That's a very wise sentiment. I wish more people understood it. (Been a patreon subscriber since around episode 34 - you guys are one of only three channels I give money to - and you are certainly the one I would be least likely to drop.)
As always, thank you for sharing. I truly enjoy your videos and learning about you, your family and your life at your home in Sweden. I am amazed at all you do in building your settlement! I applaud you! Life is a struggle all over this world. What you are struggling with there is also a struggle here in the US. All political!!! I love your family and how you all work together. As it should be. Struggles are known by our Heavenly Father and He tells us to come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden. Needless to say, He is my rock! Praying for you and your sweet family! Sending well wishes and love!❤
Look, these are polarizing times. I really appreciate your passion for this wind farm thing. I wouldn’t want them in my back yard either. And I also don’t know what the answer is. I don’t know the answer to many of the more pressing topics these days. It’s sure a drag that we can’t seem to be kinder to each other while we’re searching for those answers. Take good care you three and we’ll see you on the next one
Look at the pride on your face! Such and accomplishment. Excellent job!
The cellar and woodshed look fantastic! The rock work in front is beautiful, creative. In our world there are so many creative options and people with brilliant ideas. Unfortunately, at this point there are a few who control the flow of advancement due to profitability. However, this cannot last much longer, we as a civilization must move in different directions. There are other solutions to energy use and they are free, thus the "snag". Mr. Nikola Tesla proved this by developing technology in 1895. And we are at the point where it must be reintroduced. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. Sending love and support.
You are amazing. We all are going through hard time but I believe for better world. I believe we will get there. I believe something will stop these turbines. I believe we soon get into creativity that will benefit all. Love you ❤️❤️❤️
Threats!? That is so horrific and wrong. Praying for your family and your safety. One of the reasons I appreciate being able to watch your videos and have a glimpse into your lives is learning from a different perspective. Thank you for providing the opportunity. My daughter always got fevers along with teething.
I see all your videos, even before the birth of your little son. Nice job you do😊
Your videos always make me smile. I look forward to each one. Ivar is growing so fast and your family is beautiful! Stay strong!💕
Deep and profound respect for you. Sending you a big warm hug.
Thank you for your vidoes,. The best thing to do is IGNORE the negative comments, don't let them discourage you. Just keep doing what you are doing and remember that you are an inspiration for alot of people. Stay safe you and your family ❤❤❤❤
So lucky to have Tova's family!
Enormous progress. So much hard work to sustain your lifestyle. Admirable in so many ways.
Wow, the stones look great. I love the shed and the old used doors are beautiful. Looking good there
My favorite videos. The first thing I do when I see a new video is check the time, and the longer the better. However, I am thrilled with and appreciate whatever length of time you are able to give. I think the answer to most, if not all, environmental question or issues like this, is less consumption. I imagine it is heartbreaking when you think you have found your solution (homestead rural property and live with less consumption), and the machine still finds a way to encroach on your life and your dream. I hope this works out in your favor, but unfortunately, the problem will just be out of sight, not gone altogether. Thank you for sharing your hearts and lives with us. Wishing you all the best.
Hi there I can understand your frustration and worries. Because for those people it's all about money. And they forget about nature. But it's nice to see that things happening now on your farm. And thanks for the video. Always enjoy you're way of living life. You're done a big job.BUT hope after this winter the new house will be finished 🙄🙂🙃. Looking forward to the move in time. 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡⏳️⏳️⏳️⏳️😁. Greetings from Melinda from South-Africa 🙋🏻♀️
Can I just say that you guys are leading by example to show how a "solution" could look like when it comes to the worlds need for energy! If more people had the willpower to live a lifestyle like you do, there would be no need for wind parks anywhere. It breaks my heart to hear about what's happening around you and I send you lots of positive energy and hugs!
Impressive as always Mathias! I cherish the reuse of the vintage doors. We can't create something aged. Thank you for making time for another video. Love to you guys
I 100% understand your worries and conerns! Well sad" to save the nature by destroying the nature". Definitely something to think about. I agree on everything you say! You bring more awareness into the world! Stay strong and stay in the eye of the storm!
Really great to see your progress. The shed is gorgeous.
Love the choice of music in your videos, always contributing to the emotions of the moment! 🤗 Sorry to hear your frustration with the current development in your area, but you need to stick your principles as much as you can and show the rest of the world that every effort does matter! 👋Hope Iwar feels better soon 😘
thank you for being good stewards of the earth. Love and peace to you all
Just finished watching your video…Bless you both…keeping you in my prayers… ❤️
Another beautiful video. We love your family. Has everyone forgotten what happened in the state of Texas in the USA last winter? When an ice storm hit with freezing temperatures and all the turbines failed. Lots of people out of electrical power for days.
Keep standing strong!!!!
Love your videos❤ yes! A huge pile of firewood is such a great feeling!
Always such joy and relief to watch your wonderful videos! Thank you, all the best and much love to you!
Thank you so much for opening these topics for discussion and argument. Please disregard those who just try to shut that discussion down. We all need to learn more from each other and that is only possible by listening.
Well done! And I appreciated your comments about criticism of the wind turbines and the reaction you received. I think one of the big problems today is the lack of comfort with the space between identifying problems and their solutions. The rush to agree on one path or another takes away from that space where creativity happens. I don't know what the solution is either to energy generation on a large scale, but that doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't have opinions.
Personally, I live on a sailboat and we love our small wind generators. But these devices don't compare with the huge wind turbines you are talking about. I have no experience with those.
All the best to your family!
I loved seeing your little family of three & your doggy all sitting together @ end of video!
As an outsider looking in from way out in the middle of Nebraska n USA, I see so much love & compassion & understanding & tenderness here!❣️
Tova & Mathias you are so right in what you say, here in the Uk we have these wind turbines most of the time they are turned off, they are unsightly, kill lots of birds and end up thrown on the scrap heap and left to rot .xxx
I love that cellar. Looking good!
We too live in a beautiful natural area in Minnesota, USA, where the topic of " destroy the environment to save the environment" is highly argued over. We live in the largest watershed to the largest fresh water lake in the world. Copper mining for electronics and electric vehicles batteries, would threaten to poison this great natural resource. It is sad, and frustrating. But living here, we do what we can, make our voices heard, and collaborate with others who feel the same as we do. Your channel not only entertains us, but inspires us to see ways that we can live together with the earth and protect it. Your family is adorable...and we love the work you do!
Will pray for you. Take care. Ivar is just adorable. Thanks for the videos.
Your smile says it all, when you have completed the cellar! I agree with your stance on the windmills, and the forestry companies, they are scoundrels! Thanks for speaking out*
I 100% understand your point of view, these days we can't have an opinion or say things if we don't have the solution as you said. Our government asks us to reduce our electricity consumption, such as putting the heating at 19 celcius in winter instead of 20-21 celcius, because we don't have enough electricity for everyone. But they decide to sell our electricity to the United States and they don't want gasoline cars anymore, just electric cars by 2035...we just don't understand how to do that, and here we can't build wood-burning fireplaces in new constructions in some cities. .Fortunately we have an acquired right at home, and we heat with it.
Such back breaking work but wonderfully done. You've both come along way and the cellar looks fantastic. Was good to see Malva running around and checking out your handy work Mathias. I hope you can find some peace and don't stress over the issues facing you and the forests around you. Unfortunately we live in a world where the rich corporations get away with far too much. Until the next time keep warm and safe 💚💚
You did such a great job on the cellar 😮 and thanks for sharing the ‘hard words’ about the wind turbines…….
I’m sorry you are feeling so discouraged, I understand and would be too, but know you have people who support you and your ideas, if not financially, spiritually. You are truly an earth family.
There has been a lot of work going on! I think your sauna feels pretty good to you.
