- There is a lot of controversial media out in the world, so why on earth were people complaining about something as simple and tame as wood?

yeah dude that shirt and the jacket dont go together at all! you cant do that!
I actually find it pretty cute tho
"People will complain about fuckin' anything."
He was right.
Thanks for being a good example.
I think ya'll got wooshed
You're right though
There's a background joke in Frozen referencing the bark up or down argument
where?
@@superrinusblick4222 Right after Olaf's song
Yeah, I thought it might've been related
So I will never see this then. Well I am more likely to see Frozen than The Lion Eater of Baboons and therefore King.
My problem with Frozen is that it was running as a demo where I worked. Including the extras, which has the same damn song sung in every bloody language one after another. I HATE THAT SONG.
The song is GIVE IT A REST.
Ordinarily I don't do hate but this a special case only equaled by Hotel California, a song I used to merely dislike.
There is an episode of Supercarlinbrothers that goes over this same video, in reference to Frozen. It's really good.
This is NOT an insignificant issue though! How can you relax when people are wrong on TV? Spreading misinformation and corrupting the youth of our nation?
Also, having taken that train ride all the way to Bodø countless times, playing the footage while doing other things at home is not only relaxing, but it has almost a cozy kind of familiarity to it. It's nice.
True we Norwegians get realy mad abaut
firewood.
we had something similar in germany, eisenbahnromantik, it basically were vhs with train rides and some scenical shots out the trains window. watched those with my grandpa a lot xD
The B movie where every time the word “bee” is mentioned it’s speed doubles is also a fun one
There is only one ASMR video I've liked. It was a streamer practicing her voice acting and doing roleplay. It gave my brain the good tingles. But only once. I tried to listen to it again but it didn't feel good the second time. Have never felt like that before or since.
tbh slow tv sounds like the norwegian version of how its made
I'd love to watch seven hours of uninterrupted views from a train! Anything to be free of bloody adverts every 10minutes!😂xx
Last time I was this early I still had wood.
I'm Norwegian but I've never heard of those shows lol
My wife uses rainstorms to help her sleep. I prefer music.
Italian here.
"Umarell" is a word from the Bolognese dialect, but is used commonly especially in the north of the country. There are so many "umarells" around, possibly because we're one of the countries with the highest average age, that some construction sites have employed measures to be more accessible to them. Famously in Melzo, near Milan, a site has built an observation deck with info boards especially for "umarells".
Love your videos btw, keep it up
Ha nerd and a simp
here in spain we have that stereotype too! we just call them old men watching construction sites but still
GLI UMARELL SU FACT FIEND LA MIA VITA E' COMPLETA
lol an observation deck especially for them? even better xD
In Poland we call them 'Janusz remontu' which can be translated as 'Janus of renovation'. Janus/Janusz is not even the most popular name for this age group, but that's what stuck.
I remember my grandma watched the train tv while knitting the same sweater for the 9th time cause every woman in my family wanted one jesus
Håper de ikkje sender den jævla juleribben i år

Slow tv is great when you want to have your large television being more pretty than a big black screen in the background, but without having to put a movie on and have its interesting-ness be a distraction.
It's like let's waste energy for the sake of it
@@thekramer1097 well....u could choose to do that when u have guests over and mute tv instead of all day long.
Or lobbys and waiting areas.
@@thekramer1097 its for aesthetic. Like how people have lights on in an already naturally lit room where the low wattage bulbs add nothing but look pretty
I love putting stuff like this on the TV while listening to music doing cores and shit. that trains kinda cool lmao
@@SinisterRubberDuckie I know it's the irony of bitching for the sake of it... in a video exactly about that lol
I once watched a show titled “the crackling fireplace” because I thought it would eventually turn into a christmas movie and I stuck around for 10 minutes before I realised it was just the fire
There's a whole channel that's just a fireplace in Canada. When it was cancelled there was riots in the street!
@@WolfgangDoW Wait really? That's honestly amazing. It's the little things man.
Where'd you get a Christmas movie from?
As a Norwegian, this is the most accurate representation of Norwegian culture
As another Norwegian I can confirm
As another Norwegian as well I agree
very accurate
Ja
Ja. Spot on dette
I like how this episode is about wood and he has the size matters mug
Wow you’re next level clever you must be like almost 16 with that kind of clever woah. You’re probably the oldest person on TH-cam. I don’t know what wood is because I’m 1
@@beegyoshi8797 lmao 21 year old journalism major at the university of kansas, wood is this mystical being that visits you in the morning, its hard long and sometimes stocky, you have oak wood, birch wood, pine wood, all sorts of woods
Smallwood heheh
it's the little things, isn't it??
@@CyroAsseo Ya fuckin KILLED HIM DUDE
When I read the title I was thinking “well, what kind of wood?”
I was very disappointed. I thought this episode was gonna be more wood focused. sadly they only told an Interesting story
there are many types of woods?
@@dog_boy5123 why of course
@@dog_boy5123 theres oak, pine, birch, ash, some more

As a Norwegian we can find a way to complain about anything especially things that have no effect on you.
Puerto Rican’s and Norwegians will get along great. We love doing things that mildly infuriate others.
that's just twitter.
@@bogustoast22none25 as another norwegian, I can agree
I love how she refers to Mark as"some youtuber", what a way to humble the guy.
Well, isn't he just "some TH-camr"?
@@WardancerHB yep.
One side of my family is Norwegian, so this does not surprise me.
Yes, I'm talking about you, Hans!
As a Dane with English family- yeah, you aren't alone.. Think this would be similar anywhere that predominantly uses firewood still.
Not gonna lie I was hoping the one other reply was a response from Hans.
Sorri eg snakker bare 90% norsk eller mere
Yes
Norwegian here.
I speak for all of us when I say complaining is a huge part of our culture as a whole, and we take opportunities to complain very seriously.
As a Norwegian aswell i can confirm that this is a fact xD
Never ask us about our day we will answer
@@Kunstner1004 Don't you dare say the weather's nice, we can sense there is a single cloud somewhere and we will remark it as if it was the worst thing to ever happen to our planet since.. well, since we came along.
Oh I need to go to Norway.
I would like to complain about how you presented that opinion ;o
Just know Norwegians also think it's weird how big slow tv have become.
Ha I’ve watched “the worlds quietist let’s play”
How can you stand that spit/chewing sound. I cringed almost instantly.
You and 12,000,000
Un-ironically, I have the playlist to sleep to. All five videos.
I Norwegian and I think most people in know about this like the ships going from town to town or the degree for degree =(grad for grad) cooking a Christmas rib
Hello fellow Norwegian
Eller bør jeg si hei med norske
Jeg skjønte aldri poenget med det showet. Nå gir dt litt mer mening i guess
In 2020 there was a 24 hour broadcast of a “digital” clock of being changed every minute in the central station of Oslo(Norwegian capital).
And I can confirm that we Norwegians (specially old people) will always find something to complain about.
We got the ultimate non-relaxing slow TV now in the form of the Climate Clock: Watch as the the world slowly approach certain doom.
@@DivineFalcon Japan has that I believe it’s haunting
Polish people: Are you challenging us?!
(I'm referring to our love for complaining about anything)
@@baltofarlander2618 I don’t know, I’m not old yet.
I guess it was "niche"-a. hehe
edit: Also I'd rather just put on things like Slow TV and just play my ps vita or some shit.
I think Animal Planet used to have a similar show that aired in the early morning hours, only more nature oriented. No music, no narration, just nature and sounds. From horses eating peacefully in a pasture, or a trickling stream, to long shots of mountains in the distance.
CBS Sunday morning news broadcast always ends with several minutes of wildlife without commentary. Was my favorite part of Sunday mornings growing up since right after I'd get dragged to church lol
I actually just play older TH-cam videos that I’ve seen a couple times over so I can sleep and yes that does include you guys too
I do the same. Fire of Learning is a good channel to fall asleep to
I do the same to Cracked's After Hours videos.
Same, the best explanation I have is I have ADHD it need something to focus on to relax but not something new that I need to focus on. I dunno that's how I explain it.
I have played documentaries like say about ancient China only to wake up with a weird conspiracy video going.
@@daniellegroves4830 Sometimes I wake up to One Piece theory videos, Comedians, anime clips, or Crazy real world stories.
I swear, they cause me to have the weirdest dreams.
Alan Watts is great for sleep. I just love the man's voice as well as his wisdom.
This was a thing in Canada too. People complained that the burning yule log was not a traditional type of wood for a yule log.
I watched the broadcast, but it is just background sound too me.
(sorry for the bad English )
Your English is very good 👍
That was flawless... I think
Wrong ‘to’, but otherwise it’s exactly right
In American hospitals, they have a whole channel on the TV dedicated to Slow Television as a thing patients can watch to help calm themselves down. It's usually calming nature scenes with serene music in the background
Unless they show people stacking wood and you get completely enraged cause they're doing it wrong
So I lit a fire. Isn't it good?
Norwegian Wood.
Actually the most controversial show in Norway is a christmas show where a guy (Espen Eckbo) does every role in his show including black people, which was banned of TVNorge (TVNorway) for being racist.
Altho we have 3 shows with a woman doing the same thing where it's allright with her doing asian, black and other roles.... go figure.
This sounds about right.
We are quite strange
All people are strange
@@adnelangholm Some more than others. That just makes us more interesting.
@@DivineFalcon yes your right on that
Im a quarter Norwegian so when I saw that man stacking the woods so blantingly incorrectly a quarter of my soul began to scream
The whole thing with ASMR is it gives tingles, which relaxes people. The requirements to give tingles vary from person to person.
I really hate those videos tbh
@@thekramer1097 they aren’t for everyone, and some are definitely.... odd.
I can tell you as a barista, it's relaxing and cool to make the latte art xD
"Norwegians take their firewood seriously" is just a very polite way of saying "People take this way too seriously"
This is as divisive as toilet paper direction is in my part of the world.
Overhead is the only way to put your tp,
and I’ll smack ya if you think otherwise
I just put it on without looking and whichever direction it is is the direction it’s in
Yeah then people like me and matt have to fix your mistake when we go
Just install the TP holder Vertically and then you can complain about left or right.
@@azathoththe3rd it'd be right or you're dead man
I like the slow tv show we have on Christmas here in Norway, Christmas ribs, degree by degree.
We basically watch the dinner being slowcooked on NRK
I’m watching from school this is more important
Preach
On the bus
@@horsenitro1617 lucky it’s lunch 4 me now
Anyone else weirded out by not hearing, “far away” Nisha?
Huh? Were you not listening?
KodakYarr i heard it at the end. But when the video started he just said Nisha and it actually threw me off for a second.
When it comes to the bark side up or bark side down, that’s been a debate that been going on for a LONG time, there are even arguments made for the methods.
Bark side up may better protect logs from getting wet from rain or snow, but the bottom logs get covered or enveloped by the muddy, wet, dirt and become practically unusable. Bark side Down has the opposite problem, it’s the top logs that now become unusable due to rain or snow.
It’s ridiculous, but it’s been going on for a long time.
Why not just have the top layer backside up and the bottom layer be backside down?
@@jefferybrown6473 Careful now, you're starting to sound sensible.
Stack it in pallets
@@jefferybrown6473 I know, it makes more sense as well as having a setup that will allow it to stay up.
If it comes to ASMR it's actually really nice, you just need to find the right one. There is a lot of good channels that make a lot of great stuff. Few favourites:
RaffyTaphy, Gibi, Ephemeral Rift, ASMattR, Goodnight Moon, VisualSounds1, Ppomo and more that I don't remember. I like sound based ASMR but for me the best are the role plays. There is Goodnight Moon, she made a fantasy series in witch you are a treveller. You visit a little town, you go to the inn and talk with the barmaid, you go to a shop with magical creatures and purchase a dragon, you go to a witch to buy a curse, stuff like that. Ephemeral Rift has Love Craft inspired content (Cthulhu and stuff), Ilumminati and NWO, Dark Souls, I saw some Marvel/DC stuff too. Whisper Audios channel has a really nice vampire series, basically you are made a vampire and you explore the world of vampires and other halloween stuffs (It's actually good, none of this Twilight bullshit). She also has a wonderful series about 19th century inspired stuff. ASMattR makes lots of cool stuff, Creepy pastas and SCP, there was Toy Story video about repairing Woody from the perspective of Woody. Lots of great stuff. But keep in mind most of the ASMR you find, especially stuff that comes up after you search for ASMR, is just trash, so that might be why you don't get it. ASMR is really hard to get right but if someone knows what to do it's just great.
You should give it a serious try and maybe make a video if you do/don't like it.
I wasn't originally keen on Nisha, but she's become one of my favorite co-hosts
Norway represent!
Sometimes when I playing games I put the video gandalf sax guy 10 hours to have another song on the background.
As a fast food worker, I can agree that people will complain about literally anything.
"My burger was cold."
"Oh, sorry about that! Do you have your reciet?"
"No, I bought it a week ago."
"Did... did you call before now?"
"No."
lol who does this?
Im Norwegian and i haven’t seen this :(
I only found it because I got home from school and randomly turned on the TV because I didn’t have any homework.
How'd you manage that? Do you just not watch tv? Some of these shows went on for weeks
@@Kunstner1004 No i have seen that kind of thing, just not the tree one
I didn’t know it had a genre. I enjoy relaxing to footage like the train traveling though snow covered Norway or a guy in England driving a narrow boat through the canals.
i'm norwegian and i can confirm it's relaxing
i also do not remember this "controversy" at all??
Me neither
Maybe you don't have family that is as interested in wood as the rest of Norway?
I remember it was a thing however not that it was that petty
I've been stuck inside for so long I'd totally watch seven hours of a train journey. Hell, I'd do it normally. That countryside looks beautiful.

Who else tapped on here straight away to write first also this was probably filmed around a month or two ago
I've heard about the bark up versus bark down thing before, but I've no idea where.
To people who want to try ASMR here are MY recommendations so take them with a grain of salt. Ephemeral Rift, Jojo ASMR, Dr. T, Made in France, and Zeitgeist.
(Edit for spelling mistake.)
you sold me on the jojo asmr
unintentional asmr is better than regular asmr 100%
Whenever someone says "I'm insulted..."
Me: "Good"
Dude that train footage slaps. When the train goes through a tunnel they change the footage to the same train but in a different season and every time I lose my shit it’s so good.
My dad is an umarell! I always feel so bad for anybody that comes to do work on the house.
She has gotten much more comfortable and better than she used to be
I wish I could move to Norway
Nordman her, with a most likely unwanted funfact, but anyway:
"How to move to Norway" was such a frequently asked question in the
r/Norway that the mods had to pin a post about how reddit is not the best place to find information about the Norwegian immigration process. But they still put in some general information.
That mug is making fun of me
Not everyone has the ability to feel ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response), so that might explain it if you just don't get it. Just like everyone can't get chills down their spine or arms from music, and if you've never felt it then it would be really hard to accurately describe the feeling to you. It doesn't even necessarily overlap: I easily get chills from music but most ASMR sounds only trigger my misophonia. Meanwhile my husband likes ASMR and especially whispering but doesn't understand how music could give someone chills.
Personally I prefer a calming voice talking if I need to relax. Luckily there are a few TH-camrs who make long videos about stuff that interests me (meaning I can stay awake if I want to) and who have so nice voices that I can just put my favourite videos on repeat to help me sleep.
My favourite thing to watch to sleep is an hour long podcast where two guys and a girl with a deeper voice talk about engineering disasters. “Well there’s your problem”
I tried just using a playlist of other stuff and accidentally ended up dreaming I made Turkey with an in-law and we compared our turkeys after, and she kept talking about a special method making it better... turns out I was watching a video about how people are making their turkeys wrong.
During a bbq I was trying to make the fire hotter by blowing on it and for the first time in my life a WOMAN started telling me I was blowing too hard.
I just kept going and achieved exactly what I wanted (and what the guy tending the bbq wanted, hotter fire to light the coal) and she just gave the worst stare of my life (apart from my mom's ones when she was mad)
Wow, Norwegians must have a lot of extra time on their hands to get so deeply involved in something like this😂
ah the BBQ dilemma. I’m apparently incapable of lighting one without a big strong man coming in and saving me.
I'm a 30 year old man and I still need "help" from other guys apparently
Personally I tend to gravitate toward where a fire is happening, just because I find it really satisfying to watch them take hold. I like to think that's why most guys do that, rather than "me big man help small woman do fire"
I would definitely spend a good while watching a train just go through the countryside in high def while I'm wrapped in a blanket with hot chocolate. That sounds very simple but a hell of a lot less mind numbing than most of what's on tv.
I love slow tv =w=
especially the travel ones cuz it's like going on a trip without leaving your living room :D
yes, I am norwegian
I will state this, firewood that is placed outside shall always be placed barkside up, then when you place it inside, it will go wood side up. A good fire will have a two inch bed of coals after 1 hr of burn, and the fire will not grow past 12 16 inches tall. That’s a fire, not a bonfire
Your not the only one, I remember so many people complained when Amazon revealed The Boys season 2 was going to be released on a weekly schedule rather than all at once, so you keep doing you, people will always find something to complain about.
The norwegians seem to really love "wood" ;)
It's kind of funny because my grandpa reidwas one of those guys telling the construction people that they're doing it wrong😂
The only slow TH-cam video I've watched is fireplace on my TV during Christmas
I remember There were people that about armour on women in Star wars Battlefront remake, Saying that they won't be able tell them apart from the Men if the armour is same both.
EA Was like It armour is just armour, there no need for them to be different.
Flashforward to now and people are Complaining about the Armour of Bo katan.
What a world we live in.

I can not explain how much I miss the old factfiend, with brad. It just hit different.
Do we know what happened to Brad?
Not that anyone would care but I was eating a can of bean while watching
asmr about humans talking asmr gives me anxiety

See, that makes sense. Why was that so hard to communicate during that broadcast?
@@kirbyfanprime internet people aren't always the most reasonable especially on facebook
I felt so called out when he was talking about getting off to ASMR
Didn't netflix have a few slow streams. Like a forest river, train ride, and a fire place.
I am from Norway, an can confirm that Norwegians care more about wood, then the fact that it was a woman
These shows sound pretty good if you need background noise
I watched the train ride on youtube!
I can picture a viking complaining about fire wood
I felt my inner Norwegian come out when you mentioned firewood
W*men!?
I’ve noticed whenever someone complain about online content that they have no control over they are incredibly self centered and are some how personal offended by it.
Welcome to 2020 where people are so thin skinned and self centered that everything offends them, even words
Now try to be a game developer and get that type of player that clings to you at all times, loudly ranting about every change/update you make is terrible, yet has no understanding on how the software works, even after you explaining the limitations.
They complain about lack of update, but also complain when there's updates. One side of the playerbase complains when you do something, but the other side also complains when you change that something to be in line with the first side's opinion. You can never please everyone and opinions are wildly contradictory. It's very hard to juggle this and you are forced to either abandon the project (abandon as in not make updates that change anything aesthetic or gameplay related) or pick only one side to cater to, however, they are not only two sides. Each time you pick a side, it divides for the next update, further and further.
I see why most game developers "don't listen to the community". Some just choose not to bother with this.

I understand ASMR to a point.
I've always been very relaxed, while being wrapped up warm and able to hear heavy rain and deep thunder. I also find distant sounds of a forest to be relaxing, but any sound close to me will instantly wake me - I'm guessing that's from instict.
1 we do take our wood serious
2 we don't care if it is a woman putting the wood on those that do are the minority
I’m mad we don’t have things like that in Canada, I would watch that so hard
"Man yells at cloud" seems to fit the bill here.
