"... you'll never be a millionaire... but we've our world's best office: our nature and our freedom..." Such simplicity of life. Thanks for the documentary.
Unfortunately although he is in the nature, he has no more freedom than an office worker. Perhaps even less...
difference is, you make your own decisions out there. Not your superiors.
The only thing I worry about going off grid is the possible need for modern healthcare or welfare. It is about the only reason that I can think of why I could need money. What if I get sick and herbal medicine is not enough? Or if I get too old and weak to work?
Being a milionaire is an illusion persuated by materialism . A lot of rich people are more depressed than normal people because they tried eveything and have everything no achievements for life anymore and it sucks .. life is a challange and living off grid is just that . When people will understand that nwo and the system are evil they will let everything go and money will be nothing but paper this is the future
This video has meaning for me as I just relocated from a large English city to Swedish Lapland right on the Torne which forms the border with Finland. The area of this province is marginally smaller then the area of England (Scotland and Wales not included) and the Population is less then that of my home city in England. The wildlife is everywhere with so many different kinds of birds. We have a large rabbit population and red squirrels amongst others and It certainly is pleasant to see the reindeer walking down the roads in small packs out in the wild.
Why is Maddie so mesmerising.
Because she's both gorgeous and scientifically thoughtful.
Wonder how she would feel if she had to kill and process one so she could eat?
Sapiosexual (and physically beautiful.)
2702 because she's a beekeeper
Simple life, simple man, but amazing insight, well spoken and gentle. Something that urbanisation has removed from humanity?? Oh man, I would love to see this. My list forever has been watching the northern lights, seeing bears catch salmon, see the wolves of the north and of course reindeer.
"We have the world's best office, our nature"
This sentence really touches. When I heard I just dreamed to work at his office.
This made me think of the saying: "When you enjoy your job, you never work a day in your life."
Yes nice.. I have a similar office.. its just not full time anymore
nature is your school do not abuse her, otherwise you will be punished hard
We can learn from this man, big respect
I bought an offgrid farm a year ago and moved out of the city. It was the most settling thing in the world, free energy from the sun, free water from the rain and creek and free food from the garden. We forget that there is a different way of doing things.
This is my future goal that I am currently planning to do
That’s exactly what I want to do! So cool. :)
I'm thinking of doing the same I'm scared though why is that brother
The nwo douchebags want you to eat bugs have nothing and be happy!
Climate change is people control.
This was awesome. Thank you for making and sharing this.
AMAZING VIDEO! I wish the video was longer, but it was beautifully filmed.
Thank you!
What a fantastic video. Very human. Thank you.
She has such a wonderful personality and a calming voice.
And she even calmed in the nature. Mostly off course because she didn't want to disturb the reindeer. But maybe because of the silence you can hear the wind, the trees, with is such a soothing sound, puts you 'down to earth' as she put it.
What an awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you :-)
I loved this, fantastic job! Please do more like this, and don't ever let go of Maddie!
Truly fantastic video!
Could she be even more wonderful? I can't stop smiling now
I love seeing videos like this! Keep up the great work BBC!
I feel so relaxed watching this. There is something to be said about this kind of peaceful and simple life!
Well made, well produced and well presented. Congrats to all involved.
I haven't seen Maddie's videos for a while now. It's good to see you again Maddie!
This is pretty amazing...
Petri's cool as hell!
well done documentary so inspiring, i can change my live in the city living with this beautiful girl in the wild.
Beautiful country. I see reindeer herding has become a lot easier since snow mobiles. This is the beginning of the end once societal conveniences creep in so does society. Good luck to you and your family. Thank you, Good video.
I once went on Erasmus to Lapland University (winter semester!), and it is every bit as cool as it looks here. Also, you get the northern lights, Santa Claus, saunas and an overwhelming amount of moomin and angry birds merchandise. Definately best semester of my life (until I went for Erasmus Practices in Murcia, Spain, which was just as fun but in a different way... but that is a different story ;)
Rovaniemi forever :D
Wow, great video!
Thought you said "carving season". That was a relief!
Carving and calving are said the same in RP, I gather :)
Maddie so cute loving nature and the outdoors...go, go, go Maddie!
Well it looks like you had alot of fun Maddie, enjoyed the video!
I wish I could take a couple of years and travel up north and spend a few months in Alaska and the Arctic wilderness
Fantastic video
This girl is so beautiful, smart and very respectful
great story =) wish more media would produce such stories
Very nice. Thank you
Uau this is so overwhelmingly beautiful. I would love to have this experience
bloody amazing
Thank you !
Great teaching, great channel :)
Interesting video, much enjoyed. Thumbs up

We left the city seven years ago. Life is a bit harder, but I would never, ever go back.
Maybe harder, but more meaningful, more rewarding. Think you appreciate more what you achieve with your effort.
Really enjoyed this video! Many reindeer were killed from the fallout of the Chernobyl meltdown 33 years ago. Reindeer in Norway are still contaminated with radioactive fallout all these years later.
Great work!
I love this place
Awesome vid ! I adore the beauty of Northern Nature👍🏻 Greetings from Rus✋🏻😏
Yeah, it's wonderful, but don't get any ideas of stealing it, okay?
Daniel Sarmas stealing what?))
Urban Survival the land, and it's not like your country hasn't done that before, is it?
Daniel Sarmas What country do U mean?)
Loved your film🐾👍
Looks like a great experience
Awesome video!
Glorious Lapland ❄🦌
nice, good idea, thank you
She's beautiful !
Great life...
one of the main reason i'm in youtube.
this channel.
Great job😁
Great video! I bet you could have made an hour long documentary with the footage from just 2 days there! :)
I have no doubt that you do!!
Really well done micro-doc!
Thanks Dan
I wouldn't mind living off the grid if she was there with me.
I bet she is high maintenance
@@VAX1970 😂😂😂
I'd live off the grid with that beauty 🙃
She was just visiting, touristing. Give her 2-3 weeks of that experience, and she'll miss the beauty parlour, urban toilet, shower, cafés...
Maddie good to see you again.
How are your bees?
O to live as simply as he! O to be wild and yet free!
Good piece. Very odd to see her in this role. Loved the herder, v wise.
She is beautiful
Before I leave this earth I want to go to a place where the sun never goes down for months and the sun never comes up as well. I just want to experience it. I love videos like this. They seem to take you on a journey without having to leave the comforts of your home. Lol
Alaska or North Canada are like that, or northern Scandinavia aka Lapland. Arctic Circle and north of it.
I just found this channel.
Simo Häyhä approves
Are you one of these butthurt Russian commies :)
Living in the wilderness is not for everyone, Unless you know how to live with you're self and deal with Adversity!
Solitude will be come your lover "It will never leave you" The Forrest will be your kingdom!
True. It's the mental aspect over months that will make or break you. Find the right location and water, food and shelter is fairly easy.
Great documentary. If you struggle to catch a fish to eat it, how would you cope with murder a reindeer?!!
She is like the new Attenborough.
I love fishing too, i was taught, God put fish and game here for us to feed ourselves, not to sell for money.
I have a certain amount of jealousy watching this... I don't mind hard work but wow!
I love baby animals.....
❣️
Wow, she's a honey.
When does the lake ever melt, if that's the middle of the summer?
What is the song in the barn owl slow motion segment? Let me know together with another hundred people that asked on youtube! Thank you!?
Why can’t I find a woman that likes to camp and explore. The adventure of life is waiting! Life’s good & it will get better :)
Theres no ''Calving season' there are 'Calving days' as they ( Caribou /Reindeer) all drop their babies with in two or so days of each other, flooding the predators food supply because Wolves and Bears can only kill and eat so many in a short time.
What do you know about Alaska?
Idk if BBC caught it but he said "Sometimes it's good to stay outside the forest." he might mean inside lol
He said 'in outside the forest'. Likely aiming to say 'outdoors, in the forest' (instead of going home).
Lets all move out there and catch and cook our own food. Cannot see any problems arising from that.
Where do they poop?
Wouldn't mind sharing my teepee with her! Great video.
ill come live with you
tuuksä minun kanssa?
The way climate change is going, more and more people will have to live this far up north, just to have access to water. This lifestyle is beautiful, I live in Scotland and we have beautiful right to roam laws where you can experience the great outdoors completely undisturbed. I LOVE this lifestyle and wouldn't change it for the world, I'm originally from Berlin. Lived in Jena, which became unbearable due to warming.
I would like to see more of Petri's story...without that flaky brawd yapping.
Goldmember
fact is we can't all do that b/c we'd run out of natural resources faster than you can blink an eye. we're already in that issue worldwide, food wise it's not feasible to live this way for most.
Are you going to be go off grid as well getting out of he city to live
this was great but I did notice maddie still had nice hair despite spending the time "off the grid" lol
It's very disturbing that we have regressed mentally to the point that people are squeamish about fishing.
- R - Yeah it can be a little ”scary” when its a big fish sprattling in your hands
It is partially due to humans relying on most of our food from a small number of farmers, ranchers and fisherman (more or less) and not realizing where it actually comes from. Of course the PC culture and vegetarians and vegans, etc. have made some people actually feel guilty about feeding themselves. I grew up in NYC but later lived in different environments and countries and I can honestly say that living in a big city is not good for the human spirit when compared to living away from the city, even if it is only in a suburban setting. I had a wonderful time as a child in NYC but city children/people miss out on so much of life's little things, especially, in regard to nature. It would be great if everyone could try a little bit of the different ways of living. Obviously that can't be done for the majority of people but we are seeing more and more people at least giving the natural life a chance again. God bless us all.
@@Weirdyzz It can only be scary if the person is unaware of what it is, for instance thinking it's "dangerous", meaning ignorance.
It is sad that we have regressed, as David states.
@@Weirdyzz No, I think it's the killing part. Urban person is not used to kill animals. Since kids, they grow to think animals are pets, cuddly things. Why some of them spoil their dogs and cats: too much food, too little exercise.
It very much is the killing aspect of it. So many people eat meat but have no idea what that actually means and that it involves the death of an animal. People feign ignorance so that they don’t have to take responsibility.
How's she so happy? I live in Texas and almost die when the temperature gets below 42° Fahrenheit.
I'm Dutch and I start dying when temperatures go above 75F.
I guess it's whatever you are used to.
High King Fingolfin lol you're right.
how to make people jealous? you are more lucky than you think.
He is meer milioner dan milioner himself
i don't give nothing for moder things. i make my self someting whit my one hands and i i am proud of this even are they not good i am lurning then beter how to make some ting good
Petri hopes that mining company like Talvivaara now Terrafame does not destroy the environment by polluting water with heavy metals and uranium oxide.
What a incredible life! May Christ protect you and family always Petri!
That's rude.
Sami people don't believe in silly things like fantasy figures, they live as one with mother earth, look it up.
Do you call them raindeer for a nickname ? Caribou is what we call them here unless we are telling a Christmas story.
Reindeer is the European name for the species, while Caribou is the North American name. The scientific name is Rangifer tarandus.

I can live off the grid but never in the arctic circle.
I love venison, but would never sell it for money.
Am I the only one who never thought the word factory could be pronounced like ”fucktory”?
German, Hebrew and just about every language besides English, say the letter a that way, about like in fAther, stAr, pAst (RP), rather than how it's said in factory in standard English. Think Italy has fattoria, sounding like 'fut-toreeah'.
How's the WiFi there? I won't go if it's a weak signal.
There are offgrid solutions for the internet, do some searching
You are addicted to technology, you need help.
The entire Nordics call it the midnight sun. It's not a sami thing.
Do they also milk reindeers and consume them?
Today, the use of reindeer milk is rare in northern countries, but strong reindeer milk has been used in many ways in the past as a nutrition. It has three times more protein than cow's milk, and two or three times more fat, but half less lactose.
Maddie's so hot...
