I am not even particularly interested in the type of content you upload and yet I find myself absolutely captivated by all of it. Easily one of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
I have a theory that a good TH-camr is not so much about what they’re doing- we watch them because we find their personality engaging. For me, Bjoernstroem is both.
I just wish you could post more often. I just love your videos. You have such a talent in fabrication! I have learned a lot from wat hing your videos. I am going to go to trade school for welding when i graduate. My dad has been teaching me and I have been practicing.
Absolutely brilliant video. The highlight for me was seeing a native countryman cooking over a traditional open fire and living his best life. Living in the UK it's easy to take mains tao water for granted. Living off grid and using a well in sub artic conditions really highlights the need for preventative maintenance and defrosting your pipework. Thanks for sharing another snapshot of your life and work. Greetings from North Devon UK 🇬🇧
We're not as cold as your part of the world, but close. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I am sure your pop appreciated your efforts. I am probably his age or older. You keep doing what you do and I'll keep watchin. Cheers from Mew Mexico, USA!
Proper maintenance.Pro tip from dwelldiver is use a leafblower and push some air and remove toxic air from the dwell before entering inside it.And wear some harness also.Great video!Greetings from Finland!
I saw that trick with the vacuum cleaner and fishing line also on Diesel Creek, where it also worked very well 👍 The landscape where you live is truely beautiful. Greeting from the Netherlands 😁👍
That’s the most snow i’ve seen all year, and i live in Minnesota, USA. We’ve had a very mild winter here. We’ve only had about 12”. of snow this winter and it’s all gone. We usually have 48” on average each winter. It’s been warm too. I enjoy your videos. My wife has got some Swedish blood in her from her dad. His ancestors were Karlssons but they changed their name to Nyquist when they came to America.
2:15 The video is just getting started and it's already teaching me new things! So cool to visually see the frost layer depth like that. Always love your videos
Eating lunch just before sunset, that's Swedish winter for you. Great content as always, the storytelling is perfekt regardless of what you build or fix.
As always, another great video. I could tell every move you were going to make. It is all so rational and practical. I think working that way and problem solving is a genetic thing with Swedes. Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching the shop building go up.
Another cool video. It’s always really interesting to see the way you fix problems that come your way. I never saw a direct heating cable like that to prevent a pipe from freezing. Seems like a good option versus wrapping the pipe with heating tape. I like the method you used before applying the final heat shrink to create a “Y”. 👍👍 Great looking meal. Having lived in Minnesota USA I can see why so many Swedes immigrated there and thrived. Similar climate and need for self-reliance and ingenuity.
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻……………………………………………………….I work in a chemical plant and it was cool to see how you clear a frozen water line! We have electric heat tracing or steam tracing on pipes that are likely to freeze, but sometimes we have to resort to steam lances in or on the outside of pipes. I can’t imagine if the plant I work at was in a climate as cold as yours!! I guess everything would have to be inside a building or we would just have to shut down in the winter!
Awesome to finally see a new video my friend!!! Been going back and watching older ones. Hope we get to see more rock crusher improvement videos once the weather gets better. Shoot, I will even settle for blasting rocks. Lol
Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The first three weeks of January 1998. The temperature dropped to minus 35 during the day and to minus 45/50 ℃ at night. The water supply to my house and many, many other residents froze. I unscrewed the main valve, inserted a drill with the inner diameter of the copper water inlet pipe into the sewer cleaning spiral (I placed the entire spiral in a plastic pipe to prevent it from flying around the basement), and screwed the other end of the spiral into the drill. After 3/4 hours, I drilled the ice plug. Before I could turn the valve back on, I had a decent shower! But it worked, my wife didn't have to melt the snow to... you know. Recipe for the future: When a heavy frost is approaching, water _should_ trickle slightly, e.g. into a bathtub.
Absolut håller med fler post! Men jag vet hur mycket jobb som ligger bakom, men kanske lite vlog updates ? 😀 Skoter slutet magiskt 👍Ser redan fram emot nästa upload!
Absolutely stunning scenery, love the aerial shots from the drone. Thankfully I've only had a water main freeze once which was 40yrs ago, never again always made sure after that it would never happen again. 👍
Always love your videos! Here in Maine USA I had a home with a well and had a lot of freeze ups. Kept thinking of ways to fix it in summer but it wasn’t a problem in the summer so I would put it off. Finally I fixed it. I now live in a town with town water but I would have loved a set up like that instead of under the building with heat guns. 👍👍
I like watching your country as much as you like showing it off, it is a true place of beauty. If that was Texas the deer would be dressed and the meat in the freezer before the hour had ended. haha
My goodness I would feel better if someone was spotting you while you were found in that well. 😮 Well now that the floor vacuum is in the mix we won't worry about the well😅. You remind me of my son. Stay safe. From Bakersfield California USA
an amazing method in my opinion because I have not experienced such a thing in my country because we do not have snow hahaha and I happen to work in a company engaged in clean water installation, plumbing and air conditioning I will try something that might be new but hopefully my idea will be useful let's say our piping system has one inlet and three outlets with a pipe dimension of three inches to anticipate if the flow is disrupted by freezing due to the ambient temperature being too cold, in each of the three outlets and one inlet we install a three-inch valve then on the "inner side" of the four valves we install a pipe with a size of about one inch and each is equipped with a one-inch valve too in normal conditions and the system runs as usual, the four one-inch valves are in the closed position and the four three-inch valves are in the open position and ...... in a state where the system is not running normally or is disrupted because the water in the pipe freezes, the four one-inch valves are in the open position and the four three-inch valves are in the closed position ............ we do flashing by injecting hot water under pressure.
Wonderful video - especially liked the drone footage - and I like to learn new stuff every day - I now know how to defrost an underground pipe, and know that heating cable exists! Hope you don't mind my suggestion on English usage (I'm a native speaker, your English is superb) - 'old man' means any old man - 'the old man' means my father. At least in UK, not sure about USA or Australia.

Hej Mattias, many years ago when visiting Borgholm slott on beautiful Öland, I learned that the Danes and the Swedes had faught for many years over possession of the castle because of it's strategic location to Sweden. The Danes finally pact up and left because it was so labor intensive and costly to maintain. Du gamla du fria, best regards from Canada. Skål!
The Danes had to leave, because they just drink beer all day, while the Swedes are fierce fighters, and whup their ass in every war we have had for centuries...
@@gordoncampbell4706 Yes, oldest beer recipe is 5.000 years old. Sounds like stupid danish excuses. I bet according to the French, their retreat in WW2 was because of heating costs also...
@@the_hate_inside1085 I can't speak for the Danes or the French but after seeing how hard Mattias works it's obvious , to survive near the arctic circle in Sweden you must have many skills and be as hard as nails.
Love watching. Harsh environment where you live though. I’m in Florida, US and it seems like it must take a special kind of hardiness to work out there. Thanks for videos.
Hey man, i hope your well, i enjoiy your videos way to much, really love you as a person, your awsome, intresting, i wish i could just give you 10mill subs, i wish more people watched this sort of stuff, Kindest regards to you from the UK, as long as you upload, i will be watching =] .
Great video and a 👍 as always-something reflected in the increase in subs. If I remember correctly, you were at roughly 51k when I subscribed about a yr ago. Anyway, glad to see the increase and hope you're able to post more often so it's more profitable for you. God bless.
The trick with the vacuumcleaner and the string works great. Using a normal vacuumcleaner for sucking out the water is a great way to kill your vacuumcleaner.
You could use compressed air to aid the installation of the heated wire. U would need to disconnect the pipe at the well end though unfortunately because there’s a non return valve on the pump.

Great job and very good video - greetings! Just allow me an advice - for BBQ use a solid metal plate(concave) instead of a barred one - You will be more satisfied from the result! :)
Most interesting, entertaining, and informative. I look forward to each one of your postings. I don't recall seeing the equipment, fittings and adapters you used to thaw the water line in stores here but I suspect frreezing water lines is fairly common in the area where you live and your local hardware store carries it in stock. How deep does the ground typically freeze there and when does the ground get unfrozen from the surface down to the lowest frozen level?
Thanks!. The snow came so early this year so under it, the ground is barely frozen. Even though its been under -40c (-40f) for some time. But if you plow an area it can shoot down to 3 meters (10 feet)

Seems like solid advice. Is the harness for the fire brigade to lift you out in case of losing your consiousness?
@@Deckzwabber Exactly, never can be too careful when your life is on the line.
@@Deckzwabber The harness leaves you dangling in a rope, instead off falling to the bottom of the well.
The more of your videos I watch, the more I want to live in Sweden it's especially beautiful in the winter.
Try Malmö, it ought to be interesting.
video starts, has a van, puts equipment on the front seat ...love it! Thanks M. Bjoernstroem, helps a lot ...right back to the rest of the video :)
to keep it warm
Really great job, I like your attitude to finish a job properly. Greetings from Ireland
On the team of putting a toaster in a bathtub😅
Nice to be along with you!
Thanks for the cold ride!
Truly love your content. While I am into the types of projects you do, your manner and approach is what keeps me coming back. Keep up the great work.
I saw that trick with the vacuum cleaner and fishing line also on Diesel Creek, where it also worked very well 👍
The landscape where you live is truely beautiful.
Greeting from the Netherlands 😁👍
I see you too are a man of culture, I love Matt and Mattias' videos myself, very easy to watch
I guess that's where we all saw it ;)
People have been using this trick for decades. Electricians been using this trick forever ;)
Thank you for another great video of your life in Sweden. It is so wonderful that you share this. Thank you!

This was great, thanks for taking me along. Greetings from the Netherlands, in our region the ground water is just 40 cm away.
That’s a really good idea of a machine to solve the frozen pipe problem. Definitely learned something, thanks 👍
Great video again ! Nice to hear some of you native language of sweden ! The old man got a nice work buddy !
best channel of this genre in youtube
There goes one more awesome video by Mr Bjoernstroem ! Thanks man: as always the video is as great as the jobs displayed !👍 Cheers from Paris, France.
Hands down my favourite channel, cheers mate from Australia
Love your videos. Please keep them coming. I don't know how you learned to do all the things you do. Even enjoyed watching you cook lunch.
You are like the big brother that takes one on the day routine and shows how shit is done. amazing

Thanks for bringing us along.. The winter life looks fun. You rock. I still think you look like Matt Damon lol
Great Vlog mate always Love seeing you sort out Problems your Very Good at it Thanks
an amazing method in my opinion
because I have not experienced such a thing in my country
because we do not have snow hahaha
and I happen to work in a company engaged in clean water installation, plumbing and air conditioning
I will try something that might be new
but hopefully my idea will be useful
let's say our piping system has one inlet and three outlets with a pipe dimension of three inches
to anticipate if the flow is disrupted by freezing due to the ambient temperature being too cold, in each of the three outlets and one inlet we install a three-inch valve
then on the "inner side" of the four valves we install a pipe with a size of about one inch and each is equipped with a one-inch valve too
in normal conditions and the system runs as usual, the four one-inch valves are in the closed position and the four three-inch valves are in the open position
and ...... in a state where the system is not running normally or is disrupted because the water in the pipe freezes, the four one-inch valves are in the open position and the four three-inch valves are in the closed position ............ we do flashing by injecting hot water under pressure.
Super cool video! I liked the roosting on the camera at the end! Be well my friend.

perfect job for kids behaving badly =D (you are a very good soul to watch also my man!!)
you make it look easy
You could use compressed air to aid the installation of the heated wire. U would need to disconnect the pipe at the well end though unfortunately because there’s a non return valve on the pump. (I know you were trying to avoid getting down into the well). Connect air to the T of that brass fitting. You may have thought of this already. Cheers from ireland 🇮🇪 😊
