A year in the Swedish wilderness

- This is our year in the swedish wilderness in pictures. You will see us work with all our different projects, building with timber, butchering, finally finish the fence around the property so the sheep wont eat our berry bushes, shoveling snow, doing the daily chores on the farm, tending the garden and taking care of the animals. Slow, hard and satisfying work.

Thank you for this lovely piece of filming. I have spent the last 30 years leading a similar life in the mountains of west Wales. Now at the age of 75 and my husband 79, we’ve had to make a big life change and move into the town. Your vlogs have given me a chance to relive my past life through yours. It is hard work looking after animals as well as all the other work that has to be done, but so satisfying being able to do all these things yourself. I hope you have the good fortune to lead a happy and fulfilling life just as we have done. Looking forward to your next film.
Besides me, is anybody else jealous? These folks are time travelers, going back to the purest of living. Bless you both and thank you for such a beautiful video. And yes, baby lambs are precious!!!
I love there way of life I wish our family could live this way !
Yes. What a sensible and honest way to live; totally self sufficient, but it’s hard work, but you work to support and create a better life for your family .
This is exactly where I wanna be. I'm tired of people and everyone around me. I don't wanna die, I wanna live alone in peace.
great, i have been starting too since 4 years ago in SUMATRA
I'm fed up with them as well.

Your comment has made me rethink the world I live in
Know the feeling
You guys should win an award for this, not just streamy but legit film doc award
Absolutely true...these films are so beautiful, filled with many clever details ♡
I live on 75 acres in the bush of northern Ontario Canada. We get lots of snow and cold like you and the land looks similar. I am 73 and after a lifetime of doing 3 men's work my body is starting to wear down. I breed chickens, a breed I created by blending many breeds including arcana so I get coloured eggs because that gene is dominant. My chickens are much like yours or the Icelandic chickens. They come with various comb types, some have feathered feet and 5 toes, and some have head crests. I now have electricity so keep a light in the coop which keeps them laying eggs superbly even at minus 30 all through winter. You could try a solar light. I have been a chicken fancier since a small child. I also breed pure white racing Homer Pigeons which I enjoy watching fly. I also breed German Shepherd x Border Collie pups to sell. My hips back and knees are so bad now I am giving up on gardening. I love the privacy, quiet, and pure air living in the bush. I also like to see moose, bear, lynx, ruffled grouse, foxes ,etc. I live 20 km from the nearest store or other services. I love to see a young couple so motivated like you and your teamwork is very impressive. You will not be short of money for long as your views will increase dramatically and you will make a lot of money from you tube. I used to own pig and cattle farms and had my own meat processing plant. I slaughtered 20 beef and 80 pigs per week and marketed the meat wholesale and retail. My favourite part of that was making sausage, smoked hams, bacon and salami.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Arian, Im so happy to hear your story! Our chicken breed does not give wonderfully coloured eggs, but they are tasty all the same :D We wish you health and joy in the coming year! /Tova
I bet the sausage was out of this world.
Welcome, sir, in the country of warmth, beauty...Welcome to Guelma, the city of spa... Welcome to the country of the four seasons ... Welcome to you here in Algeria ... I will be glad to receive you, sir, here in Algeria ... I wish you all health, wellness and a beautiful longevity. ..Greetings.
@@riadeco4107 can i come too , sounds so good , willing to Pay you
Welcome brother ... I will be glad to receive you.
i'm currently using this video on loop as relaxation to combat full on depression and extreme anxiety. nothing else exists at this point except mother nature here and so i say thank you
This couple are the hardest working people I’ve ever seen. The video is extraordinary and is a testament to their life. Well done from Virginia, USA
its not that hard. Compared to an office slave, this is playing with hobbies.
@@coreolis7 Try it sometime. The rough with the smooth.
no overweight people
@@robertagabor3736 exactly because they are eating all natural food and working through doing “chores”, which keeps them healthy.
@@coreolis7 NO IT IS NOT. Unlike your office job, you MUST always show up to work, EVERYDAY ...regardless of how you feel, how ill or how horrible the weather is...it is NOT optional. This is not a hobby farm. Your life and the health and lives of your livestock depend upon it.
This is how people have basically lived and survived for thousands of years.... ( minus the modern conveniences, like solar power , tractors, batteries, internet and chainsaws etc. And TH-cam and PayPal income) and it’s very , very hard , often gruelling and exhausting work. This is not a hobby farm, it’s a working farm . This couple are not “ playing” on a hobby farm...they’re working their butts off doing all that is required to survive and maintain and create a healthy, natural and sustainable existence for themselves and their children...so they are not dependent upon the grid and modern conveniences...because they may not always be there...
My Grandmother Thornton was a Hanson of Swedish descent!! Joke on her: She could turn a piece of roadkill into a gourmet meal!! As we approach another Thanksgiving, her Turkey Breadstuffing comes to memory!! Hard to believe this but the core of it was that she took the end crusts of "Wonderbread," dried it and aged it in her bread pantry. Yes those cabinets disappeared after the 1940s but my Grandmother was a holdout!! Despite my own culinary skill with bread stuffing, never equaled her Thanksgiving Turkey stuffing!! Gone now except for the Memory!! Thanks Grandma!!
This the way life is meant to be lived.
I, 2 years alone in a forestts, in a van, in France,
best life....
this really miss me...
Yes! Yes! Truly it is!! Come to me and you can cut my firewood! I will let you use my axe. While I use my chainsaw.
@@user6d2a05 Go forth and take a biology class. Learn what life really is before yours ends.
@Jett Jo johnson And if you feel ill, no one to do it for you.
Agree👍
This has to be the most calming video that exists on TH-cam.
In Times like now-days , where big corporations,(even some farmers) that only care for profit, it is crucial for us to grow and raise our own food.
Even though at the moment I can't,yet, live like you guys do, I am happy that someone in this world does live this way.
Viele Grüße.
I watched these two hours withiout skipping...I even paused when went to the toilet...these were some absolutely beautful two hours...I´m totally relaxed right now...thank you very much...love you and have a good 2021...lovely greets from a 55yo german
My thoughts exactly! Great video and so relaxing.
I Don's like your video's on killing your animals It is Not necessary!!!
I understand this is your choice! So, I am just saying I prefer Not to watch those video's!!!
I don't understand how you can love on your animals then kill them and eat them! Especially when you Don't need too! It is proven by good doctor's TH-cam has good books written by some.
@@caroleelagrone9729 yeh that's the part i dont like too. im ok for ppl to eat them, but pls dont hug them making them trust u for butcher them after. This is too sad. for me its like eating your dog. if an animal is supposed to be eaten dont hug him, dont fool his trust.
How do you think humans lived until now?
Animals are well taken care of and have a purpose.
Vegetarian diet isn’t healthy. Many are going back because of many health issues. Go beyond ytb videos and you might be surprised with what you learn.
Why is anybody disliking this video? It is a video about two people respecting and being one with nature. It's beautiful and inspiring. Guess they were expecting tiktok or something. This is some of the most valuable and educational content on TH-cam and I'm proud there are people like this still in the world.
I think some people would think they are pretentious, to be honest, they kinda are but i am not one of the haters, i respect what they do.
@@toxicteabaging I respectfully disagree, I don't see how they're even slight pretentious. Can you explain?
Most likely vegans 🙂
@@Anna-yw8yg I'm a vegan and have no issue with what they were doing. Veganism is about minimising harm and they're doing more than most the world by their lifestyle being minimal and utilising their resources for survival not greed. I can see how some hard line vegans might have an issue but I can imagine most don't. 😊
This is so much better to watch than Netflix or tv.
Thank you and all the best in 2020 from Scotland

Should wear a mask during hay gathering
@@marysiawatson3297
Why, they do hay and not bank robbery!
@@nosaltiesandrooshere7488 the dust produced by dry hay can cause problems with the respiratory system when they get older that's why.
@@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 👍
My dear!
Car traffic in New York or Vienna or anywhere else can ...
This is typical for the USA. If someone drives a nail in to hang up a picture, he needs safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes, special gloves cut and stab-resistant and a safety helmet, and he also searches the wall with a metal and mine detector, if anywhere there is a cable in the house made of cardboard and plaster wall.
Believe me, I will soon be 70 in the country after the war in Austria, but it is certain that we will all die someday - either way! Non-smokers with lung cancer, anti-alcoholics with hepatitis C?
I have never seen something like this on TH-cam, and this is beyond my expectations! WONDERFUL, Wonderland.. 🌸🌸🌸
Uiiiioui
I totally agree! There is such a piece about the channel...❤🙏
My favorite videos on you tube by far. Most you tube channels are a bit shallow to be honest, but these videos are not at all like that!!! I absolutely love them and I don't understand why they don't have millions of subscribers!!!! I've for sure shared them with my friends and family!!!!
@@michelledesjadon1476 I'm doing the same, sharing their vids with everyone I know. And everyone else loves how they don't speak non-stop, don't use annoying background music all the time & they know how to just simply, quietly end a video without all the "subscribe.. bsh", which so far I've found unheard-of.
What were you throwing on the hay?
I love it how they DONT Speak, it's so calming and gets your brain in the process in her own way without someone to tell me stuff!
Now compare them to average us vlogger about farming.. jezz those guys are annoying
Note to all vloggers out there:
Narration is overrated.
Silence is golden.
Yes It's just so alive . Silent, yet says so much. Satisfying to watch.Harmony , for real.
Смотря кто и что говорит.
True that, I stopped watching all US so called farmers vloggers that talk for 20 or more minutes when it could be said with few sentences
This is the most beautiful craftsmanship that I think I've ever seen. This really is a beautiful documentary of your life.
yes, the log/woodworking was something to behold, and to taste that churned butter....., wow! God bless.
Reassuring to know that there are people who still have the skills to live independently on the land. What a lovely couple in a beautiful place............Cheers
Yeah, if we could just get all those unskilled city dwellers out into the country more, and educate them with reality, we'd be set right?
@@mrx1278 your comment pisses me off just because someone chooses to live in a city does not mean they are unskilled that's just how they want to live
Best Three hours on TH-cam I've spent in a long time! :):)
A master piece of simplicity. Thank goodness the sound you provide is nature itself not the typical Hollywood blockbuster type music on most American videos. The simpler the better. Wonderful. God bless.
Can't for the life of me understand this video getting over 90 thumbs down.......what has happened to mankind that there are so many who cannot appreciate joy? Bless your hearts....all three.
I'm thinking people are triggered by the beheaded sheep that's being strung up. I didn't thumbs down the video, but if you're vegan or PETA, I can almost guarantee you this is what it was.
@@joellechiara didn't think of that. Thank you. At any rate, people are getting way to into poking their noses into other people's preferences. Mankind has been eating meat since the caves......geez
@@deborahpadgett5907
But,... times are changing into a new direction and humanity has never been known for tolerance. Not so very long ago women were burned alive just because they knew more about herbs than the average people. Some decades ago being gay was reason enough to be punished by the government. One extreme always provokes the opposite extreme and eventually we meet in the middle (or not) but it takes time.
@@lechat8533 very thought prevoking.
Tree felling is becoming less popular. You see an awful lot of tree felling on here, but not much tree planting!
Your child will be very fortunate to know such a beautiful life.
This, was a real pleasure to watch. May you both, have a long and happy life... God Bless.
Very therapeutic video just very pleasant to watch overall.
I've watched this over and over again! Award winning cinematography!
I have come to the conclusion that entertainment I like watching over and over because it is pure no acting involved. Every day is a different life with problems that both of you come on top.
If only some of the TV channels watch your channel and make you a great offer that the public can enjoy instead of all the rubbish on TV. I watch more TH-cam then TV because there's a more original life story of how people live and it's not fiction. Keep up living a wonderful life.
American TV (Discovery), has done such an injustice to the term "living off of the grid". The Kelcher and Brown families and their contrived drama is in a completely different world than these two from Sweden. Loved this video and look forward to many more.
Oh guys, thank you! I'm in the south East UK and haven't been able to see my 2 daughters for 5 months (they're young adults... still :o(. Your film cheered me up and made me realise that only a small number of human beings have the skills you do, to live in nature, respect it, love it and its inhabitants... thank you for this gift of beauty! If I could go somewhere 'tranquille', this is exactly how I'd like to live and I say 'well done!' and thank you for all the loving you give daily to all the living creatures around you, it really touched me deep!
I think this is the most beautiful video on TH-cam - your cinematography reminds me of Tarkovsky (highest honor)
@@Talasbuan I just tweeted @teamyoutube on twitter and told them to pay attention to this - hope i don't get in trouble, I am a BIG fan of art, this is art in every way.
It is gorgeous. Happy People by Werner Herzog (so) is also great.
Plus, only music where it’s needed. I hate the videos where they have music all through. Even over the speaking. Even silence can be enough. The wind through the trees is music.
@@niptodstan exactly, silence, natural noises and little fruits of music
This film is breathtakingly well done. Not only have I enjoyed every minute of it, but watching it with my children sparks thought provoking conversation. We live far from this kind of nature, so this is a perfect way for them to see what life in the Bush is like. Please keep making these, they're priceless.
They are making it too attractive, I think . lol. 60 % of us who are watching wouldn't be able to do it, and we're better off staying on our couches and watching them do it and supporting them. lol. Hats off to them. They are a very special couple.
I've watched thousands of videos on you tube with similar contents...but only your videos has connected to my soul...very raw and authentic...one that connects to my heart..I see no pretensions...just two genuine people...I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your channel..finally there's one that truly feeds my soul. Thank you for sharing your life and your animals Mathias and Tova.
I share your thoughts, Merida. The cinematography, drone work and editing are superb. I will watch the entire video again purely for the peace it gives me and for that reason I have shared this video to several people who would benefit from the same feeling.
There is another channel called self reliance that is very similar to this and just as good. Both of them are geeat
Suggest you to also watch FyNyth.
Best wishes Front Germany
meant from Germany Not front
Have you come across jonna jilton.? She does similar videos and they’re very calming too..
This is gonna be the video I put on when I'm going to bed from now on, just beautiful
Thank you for letting us enjoy such beautiful moments of your life. Keep it up, the videos are heartwarming and truely restore my faith in humanity!
Grest vid! Lots of satisfying visuals; no wearisome, static talk-to-camera; and (almost) no crappy muzak. Excellent!
Thank you, I wanted to make a video without music, but it is hard with the droneshots, I don't have a large enough ambient sound library to cover it all..

How inspirational. You are a credit to humanity. At the age of 56 I have just moved from Wales to the Greek Island of Paxos with my wife, to create a homestead in a little olive grove. Very different to your situation, but many similarities too. I kept chickens and pigs and grew my own food for my family many years ago. Now at last I am about to once more, and am excited about life again. I aim to film my experiences and post them to TH-cam starting in the next few weeks. Perhaps you will have a look and say hello. Greek Island Homestead. May the New Year bring you joy and happiness.
I wish you all the best
Good luck
What a beautiful program I love nature you are so privileged and blessed by God
Here I am, sipping a glass of wine on the deck of the house I rent in Sweden for the summer, unlimited view over the water.
I love this country soooooo much
A really enjoyable way to spend two hours and not a word spoken. Best thing I have watched in years.

Beautiful video thanks for sharing❤👍😎
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey.
Such a talent to present the relationship between man, animals and nature.
My hope for humanity is restored.
Heja Sverige💖
I don't have any words to describe the life you guys are living, love this kind of life. If someone tells me to describe it in one word I would say "Purity", that's the kind of life, love for each other, love for your pets and livestock. Superb, I am really impressed with the documentary. Love from India🇮🇳 , God bless .
my soul rests when I watch your video! with love from Russia ;)
Blessings to your little family, and much success in your endeavors. Thank you for sharing your life in such a beautiful and inspiring way.
Thank you for all the effort you guys put into the video. I wish you both every blessing God has to offer you.
Beautiful property, beautiful animals, and living the beautiful life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
Where I live at in Virginia we don't get snow like we use to I think snow is so very beautiful.. It sure is beautiful where you all live.. I enjoy watching your all's channel a lot.. I enjoy how you two work hand in hand together and raising your all's son.. Merry Christmas and may all of your blessings be many in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and savior..
This must be what heaven looks like in my eyes. The hard work reaps rewards of love and joy. The relationship with the lovely animals and beautiful landscape. Watching is a tranquil look at life and its many blessings. I wish you well and thank you for the most amazing video.❤️
The bunnies are the cutest to watch, next to the baby lambs and the little chicks 🐣 under their mommies warm body.
Everyone should watch this! There is a lot to learn here about life and living, not to mention the pure beauty. What a magnificent video.
Amazing cinematography! Feel sure this would win awards in any contest! Could not stop watching. Gorgeous colors, contrasts....just stunning! 10 out of 10! 😃👏🏻
loved watching it, so relaxing, enchanting. Very very talented filming!❤️👏🏻

You are living the life I always wanted to live. I envy you. You brought so much joy, peace and happiness to me today. Please, continue doing the amazing work that you do. I could not stop watching and I would gladly rewatch it. This is so pure and beautiful. Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing it. I wish you nothing but happiness, joy and lots of love in the new year! With love from a tiny country, Slovenia.
beautiful, I didn't want it to end, more please!
These are stunning daily documentaries, I wouldn’t miss a moment of it…. I even showered with this on….once finished, I watched it all again…..during the video, my mother in law speaks and I had to put HER on pause…..
Must be a bit difficult to kill the sheep when you've raised them since babies.
Amazing channel, glad I found it
"a bit"? I couldn't do it.
It’s in our ancestry, in our bones and blood. I’m a meat eating omnivore and believe that everyone who eats meat ought to be willing to make the kill rather than being “saved” from the grittiness of death by buying their meat cleanly packaged as parts, wrapped in (unsustainable) plastic and styrofoam, completely shielded from reality. There would be a great deal more respect for the lives that sustain us.
@@57bebe Of course, I'm not debating the sustainability. I'm just saying, raising them since babys, petting them and all and then killing them.
I'm not against it, just asking them if it's tough or if they're used to it already.
@@tts1551 in that case you should prevent attachment to them such as naming them and try to only spend time around them when needed and not because you view them as a pet
No single plastic bucket.
Yeshhh . . .
Salute from Finland!
Happy new year to your sweet family and everyone watching this. May you all have plenty of love, peace and happiness in 2020
love the name.
This has been wonderful to watch thank you for taking the time to post and share your beautiful country
I am thrilled to witness the Peace that reigns here . Moment by moment. Pleasant and necessary conversation with no bitter sarcasm, or disrespectful jibes. This is God's perfect way .
Multiplying bunnies in Spring, wow-and now a hand-hewn log building. Like I said, I’m not ready for you guys to leave for Hollywood. But this is world-class!
Thank you so much Tova and Mathias (and all your beautiful animals) for sharing your lives with us. The spirit of calm you impart is so soothing and inspiring in this mad world. I have to share a little story. I introduced my daughter to your vlogs recently (she has already watched all of them) and she was so inspired by Mathias' beautiful spoon carving that she started carving her own spoon from a piece of reclaimed wood she found in an alley. It is coming along nicely. Thank you for inspiring her. Wishing you the best from Canada and hoping your pregnancy is going well. Peace and light.
"Slow and satisfying work"...what more could anyone ask for? Happy New Year! ❤️
This is a wonderful documentary of the life you've chosen. It's a pleasure to see both of you work together as a couple on your wilderness homestead. You should sell this to an American public broadcasting company (PBS).
This film made me very homesick. Not for Sweden, but for the lifestyle. In the 1990's, we built our own log cabin, 40' x 40'. We had a goal in that we wanted everything to be from 1912 or earlier. We had no electricity, just kerocene lamps and a large (original) kitchen cookstove with the bun warmer on top. We had an original woodstove and a large stone fireplace for heat. We also had chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, a brown jersey milk cow and over 40 barn cats. All of them were feral but they got used to us...especially when it was time to milk the goats. I miss hearing the chickens in the morning, splitting wood with a large Michigan double-bit axe. We lived there for years until I wrecked my back and sadly, it all came to an end.
Reminds me of my grandfather! Thank you...
Good way to end the year here in the USA, with a Talasbuan video!!!
I'm starting my year here with a Talasbuan video. :p
And I’m here in Arizona USA ending another year 2020. Beautiful People and their love for beautiful animals. what a Beautiful life. Thank you for sharing.
Looks really hard living but so incredibly rewarding, I love the simplicity and cleanliness. Just a small synth studio in the corner and an atmospheric microphone to record daily noises. Heaven. Also these videos are incredibly well made brilliant guys I love your choice of lifestyle.

That is just amazing and so magical. I love what you have done all around the house. The animals are so beautiful, especially the chickens have such beautiful feathers. What is so nice to see is the connection between nature, animal and human. The filming of the surrounding nature is breathtaking.
Seeing your dog be brushed reminds me of my old girl who's no longer with us the amount of hair shedded! Is crazy. Beautiful creatures enduring beautiful living!
By the way, I love your videos...could watch for hours, and never get tired! 😘
it’s like a movie,I watched it all ,silence ,cozy ,❤️
I love watching you with your animals, it must be hard to slaughter them, I can see the love you have for each other…those sheep kisses, so beautiful.
One of the most tranquil, stunning, incredible videos EVER! I will watch this over & over& over again! The scenery is breathtaking! MORE PLEASE!
Gorgeous cinematography... couldn't keep my eyes off it
Matthias you really know about everything. I am so impressed by the two of you. I wish many of our young American's would watch this and learn. Thank you so very much for your vlog.
You need to have energy++, money & perfect health ! Many, many hours to work... really, it's full time! Good movie :)
I think this is the most beautiful video I've seen on TH-cam
Imagine a world where we all were a little more in touch with our surroundings and the cycles of this great garden we call home for a short while...

Magical landscape, adorable lambs, funny cat, cute bunnies, and 2 beautiful people living a beautiful life. Very wellmade video. Thank you so much for sharing, I love it!
I was watching some of your first Videos. In them you were saying how hard it is for you to do the videos in English. I think you guys do a wonderful job, especially doing it in a second language. It really amazes me how people master their own language and then speak English almost as well as I do. Please keep up the good work I really enjoy watching your videos.
In Sweden we learn English from the age of 9. A third language from the age if 13.
I have an an illness that has kept me mostly bound to my bed; having this beautiful distraction has helped with those endless hours. Thank you for sharing your most wonderful peaceful vlog. God bless and stay safe ❤️
(Not my picture, I’m the wife) Discovered your channel by accident. Started somewhere in the middle. It transforms me into another world. Love so much that I started again at the beginning. I was raised in country with animals. Tending to them and the slaughter for food. So interesting to see you doing it. Summers were spent planting and tending the garden and picking fruit to freeze for winter. As a kid I thought boughten bread was a luxury as grandma made all our bread I lived in a three generation household. I was most fortunate to know my grandparents. I still live in the country but not on a farm. I am 77 tomorrow and look on your channel in awe as you work and struggle. Bless you and your baby coming. That will be one beautiful baby. Sharon.
Hi , loved the video. Your love for each other, your surroundings and way of life shine through. Love and respect from Suffolk, England.
Thank you so much Robert!
Your video work is really stunning and shows your love of the land around you. Even more, I appreciate your holistic approach to life on your farm: making your own butter...picking berries...hewing large logs...butchering and drying meat...picking flowers to dry...enjoying cats and dogs...fishing and using a tractor, inviting help when needed, etc. There is so much balance in what you are doing, including your desire to have a family--a balance hard to find in these kind of videos. Blessings to you both!
The range of major and minor life competencies this couple brings to their projects is truly amazing. Clearly, both individuals could do anything they set their minds to, and do it well. Are all Swedes this frighteningly self-sufficient?
The smiling sheep at the beginning made me smile!
You are living the real life, I wish you good luck 👍👌
What a beautiful video❣️🥰 I remember parts of my childhood on my grandparents farm in Kansas USA. I’m going to be 64 this month and in a wheelchair now, so your videos help fill my soul with joy and memories. I’m so happy to have found someone who truly knows what it takes to live off grid! Much affection and respect from me to you both and all your wonderful animals❣️🥳Congratulations on your coming baby❣️🙋🏻♀️❤️ I’m so happy for you guys❣️HAPPY NEW YEARS❣️Love from an American living in Abu Dhabi UAE with her husband in the tropics❣️
Thank you so much Judi, im so glad we can bring some memories for you! /Tova
Enjoyable to watch. Amazing Swedish couple and their adorable little boy are showing us the real nature. The way we do not believe exists, since we are bombarded with the scenes from the city life: crime, finances (speculation) , wars, poverty. This is something that people would appreciate watching more , then watching any of the programs being forced on us most of the time. Bravo , you are having meaningful life, thank you for sharing with us.
Greetings from Toronto.
I am in love with your lambs!This world needs to go back to living this way
This is just amazing. I'm speechless. A 15 yo guy from Northern Finland thanks you!
All most 14,000 views in 24 hours! When you first started on YT you both were concerned about the language differences. Now look at the number of views and the comments are wonderful and you hardly said a word LOL! I'm a crusty old guy and will say this just warms my heart to watch this happen to two fantastic people who are not afraid to work hard to make a great dream come true. Next stop Talasbuan with 100K subscribers. Good work Tova and Mathias!
Thank you so much Rick, it is such exciting times now. Feels very unreal and amazing! Hope you are well!
Lovely. This is ordinary farm life. Please note what makes it possible, little things we take for granted; like candles/lanterns, steel knives, chainsaws, rubber boots, trucks to haul hay, snowmobiles, pelleted dog food. Without these, this lifestyle is MUCH more difficult. Think about it, while you are feeling nostalgic. Iam speaking from experience.
Hi Anna, you are perfectly right and even with all those tools I´m sure that their life has its burdens. The difference between the normal western life and this one, howerver, is that the influence of negative things such as noise, pollution, mentally sick people and consumerism is probably zero. And deep down in our genes there is the need for nature. What other reasons could there be why we watch this with fascination and appreciation starting to wonder how we could change at least aspects of our lives?
What an awsome vlogg. You's are so very lucky and privelidged to have the permissions to go and live like this. I was born in the wrong nation. I used to wish that Scotland would get Independence so that I could do this in our Scottish wilderness. Sadly that will never happen in my life time. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello, you beautiful people. My husband and I have been following your volg for awhile now. You are fantastic! This long video is just fantastic. Well done, both of you. We live in England for now. But we have a house that was build in 1869 in your beautiful vountry Sweden. No toilets, streaming water instead our water comes out of a well. It stands in the forest in Härjedalen. We hope to live their permanently in the nearby future. We wish you all the best and look forward seeing more of you two in the future. Take care. Phillip and Bianca
Sounds like a wonderful plan and dream, we wish you the best of luck, Härjedalen is a beautiful place! Thank you so much! /Tova
