My late husband of 62 years married would have so enjoyed watching these with me. I love the quiet, stillness. No music, though we both loved classical music and the beauty as we both loved art. He also would enjoyed your skills. He did love fixing bits and pieces when not at busines. We both loved photography. Thank you and forgive my nostalgia. After 7 years it still hits me from time to time.
@carolking6355 I feel your sorrow, Carol. I lost my best girlfriend over 40 years ago, we were just about to be married. The good memories help to lessen the sorrow with little sprints of Joy! They are always with us in our hearts, watching over and waiting for us to join them again wherever they are in the éther of wonder. Peace to you at this joyous time of the Winter Solstice!
@@ninemoonplanetThank you kind person. You are so right. It is a cruel world out there with wars and loss. It was seeing the wood pile that made my memories flood in . X
@carolking6355 What an homage you paid to your late husband. We miss them in the now, but our love and memory never fades away. You are blessed with your good memories. Take care
Even though you think there's not much happening and things are slowing due to winter, I still very much appreciate the videos each week. There's a certain kind of zen to the way you work and the way you speak.
I really like Johannes' voice But I'm afraid I'll get scolded if I rest my elbows on the table while eating😂 He's going for a long drive, maybe even going into town to buy himself a pen The ink is fading From his perspective I would like him to visit some antique shops in town, but he is quite busy 🙄
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem Geburtstag Martjin. Danke für deine Videos. Beim Holz transportieren hätte ich dir gerne geholfen. Ich glaube du brauchst im Winter unbedingt noch einen Schlitten oder einen Plastikbop.... Zum Transportieren oder einfach zum Spass. Liebe Grüsse Annette
I do wonder how he organizes his woodpile. It takes about 2 years for hardwood to cure before it can be burned. We have three woodpiles that I re-stack every fall in advance of winter. It's odd to me that he just has that big pile of unstacked wood exposed to the elements and getting wet. We don't heat with wood - we use it in our firepit - but plenty of my neighbors heat their homes 100% with wood. There is a science to wood pile management. None of my neighbors have a big pile of unstacked, unprotected wood.
Ciao Martijn, c’est incroyable, chaque fois que tu coupes le bois ou que tu rénoves ta cabane. me rappelle qu’à 25 ans on retapait avec mon époux notre vieille maison, on faisait du feu dans la cheminée, avec nos voisins on parlait du jardin, des travaux. Maintenant après plus de 50 ans notre hameau est paisible, on est vieux et toujours heureux de se rencontrer. J’aime voir tes conversations avec Johannes et partager vos connaissances., cela devient rare de bien vivre en harmonie et de s’entendre. ❤👩🌾
Dear Martijn, it is with extreme joy that I watch your videos every Sunday. There is no difference to the calm activity and your soothing discussion or bustling activity with many visitors. Each moment is a tranquil vibration of your calm excellence. I embrace all the joy, appreciation, and awe of the nature you have shown all of us. Thank you for your most gracious manner. I know your demeanor has and will infect the world. Happy Holidays.
Hello Martijn, you don’t have to have a lot of content for a great video to be created by you. The gentle sounds, the fog and wintry scenery is simply enchanting. Your dinner with Johannes was kind, friendly gentle. Two men with a spiritual essence sharing food, wine and helpful conversation. There are many homes where I live that have cedar shake roofs. In my opinion they are beautiful. We have many historic stone homes and barns in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with cedar shake roofs, some are thicker than the ones Johannes had, but for your purpose it will be beautiful. Have a safe trip to Austria and many blessings. ❤
I really appreciate that Martijn continues to create videos despite himself saying that the content will be less, because goodness me I would watch the entire wood cutting and pile up process in real time. So enjoyable and relaxing, and looking at snow all the way from sweaty Australia is bliss. Thank you Martijn!
To be technically correct, shingles are sawn on both sides, the split ones are called shakes and are sawn on one side, split on the other. Shakes are longer and generally thicker than shingles, so last longer but are more expensive as they contain more wood.
It does my heart good to see you stacking firewood, and building fires inside your snug cabin. I'm sure you remember better than I do the first years of trying to stay warm in a little temporary room and a tent. Now you're into amenities instead of basics. It's so satisfying. I love your commitment to keeping it all as natural as you can, and choosing shingles that are less perfect than machine sawn. Your place has so much more soul because of this. Safe travels, Martijn.
Awesome to see two men’s of faith praying before a meal up in the mountains. Also love the euro lifestyle, living in the alps, shopping and exchanging life, language, expertise, art and culture all across Europe, very exciting
A wonderful episode: it’s cold, snowy, but still feels warm. It’s cool to go to a friend’s house for dinner like this with a saucepan. Somewhere below are the lights of a noisy city, and here there is peace and quiet. Thank you and have a nice trip to Austria.
The landscape looks just beautiful with all the snow on the ground and the mountains. It was really lovely to see Father Johannes again, I really miss his tranquil videos and hope he comes back with more in the future. Happy birthday Martijn and safe travels to Austria xxx
The time it takes for you to create these amazing videos each week is hard to imagine. As I sit in my cozy kitchen peering out at the winter, I am so grateful for these moments in the Alps.
Just last week episode made me think of Tarkovsky. So often Martijn’s filming is so like Tarkovsky, like that actress in The Mirror on Martijn’s computer screen, aesthetics of light and music… All so perfect.
Greetings from Southern California… I so enjoy watching your videos each week. They bring me such joy and peace in the hectic life of a 78 year old Granny. I wish you and yours a very Marry Christmas 🎄I am looking forward to your videos in the coming new year. Sincerely PS A happy belated Birthday.
O man riding with the wood when you started to slip i was about to jump off the side haha. Thanks again for the amazing videos your bring us all every week.
@@ronm3245 Probably ought to consider using some of the free labor next summer to build up that slippery slope. Dig a level spot out to place some large boulders down then build up the area behind and on top of them. Stagger the boulders if you have to. But leveling that area is something that is truly needed. If not for Martijn who is used to it, then at least for the sake of the younger people/visitors he gets, who aren't. ♥
Well, we knew it was coming. Winter weather is a given, no matter what we'd prefer. I was just thinking, "Martijn is going to need chains." and there you were! This is the only time I miss a fireplace...during a snowstorm. As storms go, that one wasn't too bad. Pretty wreath. What a thoughtful neighbor. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Austria! Nice to see some different scenery now and again. See you next week.
As a 76 yr old fan I thought you were talking about the Shingles shot. That's where my mind is at 😮 Have a good week..looking forward to Sunday 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What a day🎉 Here we are in Iowa on a cloudy foggy day with ice in the driveway and sidewalks and watching a beautiful video of our friend Martian in his play pen in the Italian alps.
Martijn thank you so much for sharing your amazing life, talents, intelligence, and of course the gorgeous cinematography. You create such peace and calm for your loyal viewers. God Bless❤
Thank you so much for the lovely visit with Fr. Johannes. I am not missing him so much. It sounds like he will have some videos for Christmas. Two of my favorite people, that I have never met, together, sharing food and ideas. So nice! One of my favorite jobs.... stacking wood. Safe trip to Austria.
Hello Martijn, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you, your family & all the viewers of your channel. I so like that you have provided some warmth for your chickens. 🐓🐓🐓🐓 Your videos are something very special to so many people. I love them. ❤️So much tranquility. 👍 I wish you all the best for 2025. 🙏👏👍❤️ Stay warm, well & happy…. Cheers Noeline from Sunny Queensland. 🌈🇦🇺🙏
Interesting video. Thank you for the aerial views seeing the beautiful mountains covered with snow. Nice gift from your neighbor. Sharing a meal and conversation with Johannes is always a treat. Drive safe to Austria. Can't wait for shingles.
I am watching this from southern Australia on a day of extreme fire danger; it is 30.7 degrees celcius and on its way to 41 degrees (nearly 106 Fahrenheit). I so appreciate the calm, the cold, and the quiet approach to thinking things through. Many thanks.
I pray you and yours will be safe. I am writing not far from Malibu , California, USA, where "The Franklin" fire has been raging. Fires are so unpredictable as to which way they will burn, and the weather plays a big part. It has been devastating. The heat must be unbearable! May you be safe and healthy. Hope you stay well and have a Merry Christmas!
@@catieberg2376 Thank you for your kind wishes. So far, no fire, but I am sure you know how quickly this changes, especially with the strong winds. Sending love to the US.
I was worry about the chickens not willing to step outside the coup because the snow, poor thing... then you read my heart and mind, they'll be warm and comfortable, nice!
I always look forward to your next video,I was happy to see Johannes and you talking and enjoying your meal,good friends are priceless.You always entertain my mind and relax me watching you do day to day task.I wish you would consider putting rock roof on the shop..Im asking alot I know,but nothing has that same look..like wooden gutters.I will hush,and close with a sincere thanks.
Martijn I thought it, you said it “peaceful weather”. This video calmed my soul. What beauty surrounds you. Your mind and creativity flows so wonderfully. I smiled at your ’board’ and said what is he going to use that for….very nice touch to an already artistic wood storage! 😊 I’ve said it before, bares repeating, your life is like a sweet dance. Hope your trip to Austria was enjoyable. Beautiful country! See you next week. 💚 from Texas
Martin - Happy Birthday! - Watching you from Day 1 - You have created a Heaven for yourself which I can only dream off. Good Job! and Thank you for sharing with us.
Hello, Martijn! Обычно у нас дрова заготавливают летом, чтобы высохли. Ваша печь и Йоханнеса не имеют шибера(заслонки)для нас это важно, русские зимы холодные. Когда закрываем шибер, тепло дольше держиться в печи, "дрова не вылетают в трубу".Наши печи расчитаны на 25-30 лет. Всем❤
Dear Martijn, thank you for this video, depicting this amazing landscape! Sharing a meal with Fr. Johannes and your conversation was a wonderful highlight! I anticipate the next video. I wish you a Merry Christmas!
STILL THE BEST!!!! Martin those lights that snow, that walk to Johannes (always nice when you catch up) WOW!!! what a view. Glorious. Shingles, I can't wait til next vid . Cheers
Greetings from southern Brazil. Hello Martijn. I feel a sense of peace when I see the snowy images with the sun bringing yellow reflections on the mountains. When you opened the bedroom curtains and I glimpsed that view, it was breathtaking. I always imagine what it would be like to be there, with my camera in my hand, capturing every nuance of these beautiful landscapes... and I don't even like the cold. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
Martijn, you need to get some proper snow tires for the Pajero...personally, I would put the top back on the Land Rover for the winter, and use it for hauling the wood, trailering stuff around the cabins in winter..it likely has differential lock, and you would be surprised how much more capable it would be in the snow than the Pajero, even if both of them are 4wd...
Martin you have all that wonderful dry wood and you know it going to keep you warm and cozy, especially in the awesome heater you make. I love the wood shed you made, so neat ! Looking at the snow makes me want a big fire in a fireplace to sit in front of and watch the flames dance.
I look forward to the christmas vlog - his films are just like a massage to the head; so thoughtful and really insightful. Thankyou for your vlog Martijn; always a joy.
Was just reading up on Giotto di Bondone & the "proto-renaissance” in the late 13th & early 14th centuries... my Mum studied world religion and art history (for interest) so our family library had some neat reading. Our visits by phone can get pretty geeky. Thank you for sharing The Golden Age & your dinner with Johannes. Always a pleasure listening to him. Cheers to crisp, cool air & feeling the sun on your face, Martijn ☕ Best wishes from the Yukon
Martijn, Even in distant reaches of altitude and in cold wintery depths it is the intangibles of civilization that gives direction, binds, and motivates high art in your work. We have the pleasure of seeing this result, but it's Johannes who explains by word and presence the uncanny persistence of spirituality, expressed as virtue, that enables.... Thusly, Europe stands on tall shoulders giving us the view we otherwise would never see. Merry Christmas to you and all of your fans!!
Martinj has his birthday ? It makes him a Sagittarian : I am not surprise and I understand his need to always go further. Happy Birthday, Martinj. I really enjoy every one of your videos. I am already waiting for the next one. Thank you ! We have some snow too, here, in Montréal (Québec).
Funny. After your program ended, the words "love, love love!" flew out of my mouth without thinking. Thank you for another great week. Please take care in the snow and ice.
A double layer of shingles is usual in the US, even in the North. Of course, the gaps are always staggered so the moisture runs off the roof or wall. I note, however, that the shingles you are using are quite thin. Therefore, I would go with Fr. Johan's guidance. In the US, cedar, a soft wood, is typically used for shingles.
For an old person a metal handrail that a hand can clasp easily and slide as you descend without getting splinters is great! I want the rail to fit perfectly in my hand for holding tight. Good idea Martijn.
Having the time to have a little contemplative time every now and then is a good thing, it allows the creative juices to flow, and for you to plan future works. This is a beautiful time of year where you are, I imagine many would wish to be able to experience the same joy. P.S. I notice the creative boot rack next to the door in the large cabin, very creative ! Enjoy the season.....
I loved watching it snow at night. It was. peaceful, and the sunny morning after was beautiful and the air smelled so fresh and clean, I now live where it rarely snows. Wonderful winter memories.
Awesome content in the last two WINTER video's, Martijn! You are a BLESSING 👋. Thank you for sharing ❤. Keep safe and warm. Until next week. Keep on keeping on xxx
Martijn, you are our Santa Claus with your red cap and your videos filled with your hard work, your love of art, books, drawings, scenery, and this week...Johannes. Thank you and Happy Christmas to you both.
The views are just so beautiful with the snow! So pleasant to watch these videos! I noticed on the 2nd cabin, the door getting to the outside could make a nice access to a suspended deck, a place U could just sit an enjoy the view😊
Sarebbe importante se potessi consigliare a Johannes, come succede per i tuoi video, di avere i "sottotitoli" ai suoi futuri video in diverse lingue compreso l'italiano Sarebbe di grande aiuto per poter apprezzare meglio i suoi monologhi che saranno sicuramente interessanti Ti seguo dall'inizio di questa tua nuova avventura e ho seguito anche tutti i video che finora ha fatto Johannes Siete due grandi persone
Dear Martin, l,m never surprised at the superlatives you receive for your videos,we,ve come to expect that, nor do I relish your getting out in the cold and snow to stack firewood. I must say that it doesn’t seem to slow you down at all. Happy Birthday and have a joyous, blessed Christmas.

You remind me of Clint Eastwood.
You and Johannes sharing a meal was a wonderful highlight! Thank you!
Johannes always seems warm. In more ways than one.
"wine? always"
I really like Johannes' voice
But I'm afraid I'll get scolded if I rest my elbows on the table while eating😂
He's going for a long drive, maybe even going into town to buy himself a pen
The ink is fading
From his perspective
I would like him to visit some antique shops in town, but he is quite busy 🙄
Hi Martijn, I am going through a difficult time and your videos are giving some sort of inner peace. Thank you, my friend.
❤praying for you.
Wishing you peace and better times!

It took me a long to to realize that my hardest times are when I grow the most. You are stronger than you know. Sending my best to you.
Martjin, Just wanted to say that wreath you got as a gift from your neighbor was beautiful, very thoughtful gift.
Enjoyed your conversation with Johannes. The wood storage is an art piece. All blessings to you, Martijn. And kind wishes to all the families here.
Grazie 😊

Tanti auguri di un Santo avvento e Natale
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem Geburtstag Martjin. Danke für deine Videos. Beim Holz transportieren hätte ich dir gerne geholfen. Ich glaube du brauchst im Winter unbedingt noch einen Schlitten oder einen Plastikbop.... Zum Transportieren oder einfach zum Spass. Liebe Grüsse Annette
Johannes is a good friend. A true friend. And he is smart.
There's something so satisfying about looking at a tall organized pile of split firewood.
Aaamen! 🥰
I do wonder how he organizes his woodpile. It takes about 2 years for hardwood to cure before it can be burned. We have three woodpiles that I re-stack every fall in advance of winter. It's odd to me that he just has that big pile of unstacked wood exposed to the elements and getting wet. We don't heat with wood - we use it in our firepit - but plenty of my neighbors heat their homes 100% with wood. There is a science to wood pile management. None of my neighbors have a big pile of unstacked, unprotected wood.
@@phylliscraine I could be wrong, but I thought he said he purchased firewood from a farmer. So, I'm assuming the farmer age-dried the wood.
I was thinking the same thing!❤
@@phylliscrainethis is not hardwood. AFAIK we don’t have any in Europe
Love it when Johannes makes an appearance!!! Let the wine flow... lol

The time it takes for you to create these amazing videos each week is hard to imagine. As I sit in my cozy kitchen peering out at the winter, I am so grateful for these moments in the Alps.
Just last week episode made me think of Tarkovsky. So often Martijn’s filming is so like Tarkovsky, like that actress in The Mirror on Martijn’s computer screen, aesthetics of light and music… All so perfect.
Enjoyable seeing you and johannes having dinner and sharing knowledge of carpentry.

Dear Martijn, thank you for this video, depicting this amazing landscape! Sharing a meal with Fr. Johannes and your conversation was a wonderful highlight! I anticipate the next video. I wish you a Merry Christmas!
STILL THE BEST!!!! Martin those lights that snow, that walk to Johannes (always nice when you catch up) WOW!!! what a view. Glorious. Shingles, I can't wait til next vid . Cheers
Thanks for sharing your week with us
Greetings from southern Brazil. Hello Martijn. I feel a sense of peace when I see the snowy images with the sun bringing yellow reflections on the mountains. When you opened the bedroom curtains and I glimpsed that view, it was breathtaking. I always imagine what it would be like to be there, with my camera in my hand, capturing every nuance of these beautiful landscapes... and I don't even like the cold. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
Martijn, you need to get some proper snow tires for the Pajero...personally, I would put the top back on the Land Rover for the winter, and use it for hauling the wood, trailering stuff around the cabins in winter..it likely has differential lock, and you would be surprised how much more capable it would be in the snow than the Pajero, even if both of them are 4wd...
Martin you have all that wonderful dry wood and you know it going to keep you warm and cozy, especially in the awesome heater you make. I love the wood shed you made, so neat ! Looking at the snow makes me want a big fire in a fireplace to sit in front of and watch the flames dance.
I look forward to the christmas vlog - his films are just like a massage to the head; so thoughtful and really insightful. Thankyou for your vlog Martijn; always a joy.
Rubbing alcohol will also clear off the ice, if you had a extension cord you could plug in a hair dryer to dry for a couple of the solar panels
I'm so glad I'm not alone. Thank you again for sharing a small part of your life. Peace be with you always Martijn.😊
Was just reading up on Giotto di Bondone & the "proto-renaissance” in the late 13th & early 14th centuries... my Mum studied world religion and art history (for interest) so our family library had some neat reading. Our visits by phone can get pretty geeky. Thank you for sharing The Golden Age & your dinner with Johannes. Always a pleasure listening to him. Cheers to crisp, cool air & feeling the sun on your face, Martijn ☕ Best wishes from the Yukon
❤❤❤happy Sundays to all ❤❤❤
even with the snow you are a productive soul
Martijn, metal for the railing is like clay when heated, mold yourself a master piece around that turn 👍✌️
Martijn,
Even in distant reaches of altitude and
in cold wintery depths it is the intangibles of civilization that
gives direction, binds, and motivates high art in your work.
We have the pleasure of seeing this result, but it's Johannes who
explains by word and presence the uncanny persistence of spirituality, expressed as virtue, that enables....
Thusly, Europe stands on tall shoulders giving us the view we otherwise would never see.
Merry Christmas to you and all of your fans!!
Martinj has his birthday ? It makes him a Sagittarian : I am not surprise and I understand his need to always go further. Happy Birthday, Martinj. I really enjoy every one of your videos. I am already waiting for the next one. Thank you ! We have some snow too, here, in Montréal (Québec).
Admiring the LIGHT which enters through that skylight! Invaluable for the winter in a stone cottage. Great foresight to have that source.
Martijin, c Днём рождения!.. самые искренние пожелания добра
и да, спасибо за Тарковского
Funny. After your program ended, the words "love, love love!" flew out of my mouth without thinking. Thank you for another great week. Please take care in the snow and ice.
Life goes on at a slower pace brilliantly filmed again martijn never fails me 🏴🏴
Of course, there are many problems in the mountains in winter, but what beauty on this top of the world! Martijn, thanks for the great video!😍👍
A double layer of shingles is usual in the US, even in the North. Of course, the gaps are always staggered so the moisture runs off the roof or wall. I note, however, that the shingles you are using are quite thin. Therefore, I would go with Fr. Johan's guidance. In the US, cedar, a soft wood, is typically used for shingles.
For an old person a metal handrail that a hand can clasp easily and slide as you descend without getting splinters is great! I want the rail to fit perfectly in my hand for holding tight. Good idea Martijn.
Having the time to have a little contemplative time every now and then is a good thing, it allows the creative juices to flow, and for you to plan future works. This is a beautiful time of year where you are, I imagine many would wish to be able to experience the same joy.
P.S. I notice the creative boot rack next to the door in the large cabin, very creative ! Enjoy the season.....
Yes , I love solitude . It creates space for that natural creativity.
I loved watching it snow at night. It was. peaceful, and the sunny morning after was beautiful and the air smelled so fresh and clean, I now live where it rarely snows. Wonderful winter memories.
HO! HO! HO! Just look at all that beautiful snow!!❄ God Bless You, Martijn!🙏 Be safe & warm!🔥👍
Imagining being there for Christmas: the snow, the mountains and the horizon: what can be a better combination to reconnect with nature?
Awesome content in the last two WINTER video's, Martijn! You are a BLESSING 👋. Thank you for sharing ❤. Keep safe and warm. Until next week. Keep on keeping on xxx
Johans winter series release, looking forward to it.
Greetings from Russia! We're watching you!
Dear Martijn, your channel is very inspiring! Thank you.
Lieber Martin, dein Kanal ist sehr inspirierend! Vielen Dank.
Martijn, you are our Santa Claus with your red cap and your videos filled with your hard work, your love of art, books, drawings, scenery, and this week...Johannes. Thank you and Happy Christmas to you both.
alguien de Argentina tambien sigue a este tipo? muy zarpado, siempre un churro y mirar sus videos, abrazos
The views are just so beautiful with the snow! So pleasant to watch these videos!
I noticed on the 2nd cabin, the door getting to the outside could make a nice access to a suspended deck, a place U could just sit an enjoy the view😊
Вам нравятся советские фильмы? Я поражена до глубины души. Респект...❤
Настоящее искусство, как фильмы Тарковского, нравится всем… 😊
Watching while having my coffee in the morning……Yeaass
Good morning to scotland ;)
Precisely the same moment Martin poured his coffee I was pouring my own.
Enjoy your coffee ☕ cheers! To both of you, Martijn and you. 🇨🇦
Snow sled is practical for moving wood in winter.
If you go down. The better.
Happy Birthday! Mine was Thursday! You are, in my humble opinion, "the salt of the Earth". God Bless You for being such a shining light. 💜💜💜
Your back up skills with that short-tongued trailer are impressive.
I came here with your first wheelbarrow and firemantal. thank you for getting me up.
Preparing for the hard Winter season...it feels good to stay nice,and cosy inside your country home !...
Sarebbe importante se potessi consigliare a Johannes, come succede per i tuoi video, di avere i "sottotitoli" ai suoi futuri video in diverse lingue compreso l'italiano
Sarebbe di grande aiuto per poter apprezzare meglio i suoi monologhi che saranno sicuramente interessanti
Ti seguo dall'inizio di questa tua nuova avventura e ho seguito anche tutti i video che finora ha fatto Johannes
Siete due grandi persone
You can switch automatic translation in subtitles in TH-cam
Dear Martin, l,m never surprised at the superlatives you receive for your videos,we,ve come to expect that, nor do I relish your getting out in the cold and snow to stack firewood. I must say that it doesn’t seem to slow you down at all. Happy Birthday and have a joyous, blessed Christmas.
