More! More! More!...I just can't get enough! Who is with me?! I feel guilty because I know how hard you both work on everything. Thank you, I have so much respect and gratitude for all you do.
You both have given young Ivar such a beautiful and loving start to his life. He begins his journey of years with PRICELESS memories...and he will remember much more than you realise. Sending many, many blessings and prayers for you all . Thank you for sharing such blessed moments with us all.
It is always so wonderful to take a trip through and over the tree tops and down to the homestead, as though riding on a magic carpet. And, so beautiful with Old Winter's coat on the ground and you all carrying on with your chores. Ivar is learning well how to tend to the flock! He'll be a huge help in few years! We are learning as well how to keep a small farm. It is so good to see your videos each time you post! Thank you!
I sometimes find myself holding my breath as I watch your fly over the meadows, streams and forests enveloped in snow. And then I think to myself of the times I had with my parents on our farm and the hard work it involved but we were HAPPY then. We also raised sheep( Suffolk ) . We didn't feel like were were missing out on anything because it just wasn't there to obsess about. All the technological advances we have made and yet more and more people are so unhappy, unfullfilled and lost and lonely. It is my dream to one day go back to living a more simpler life without so much techno garbage and to go back to connecting with nature and living a mindful and meaningful life. You guys make me think that me and my bf can one day do that so don't ever stop your videos. Keep up with your dreams and even though there are setbacks just keep moving forward. You are so inspiring to so many people :)
Don't dream about "one day". See how you can put into reality today. You don't need to move to off grid log cabin to live this way. You can move away from techno right now by moving away from smartphone into the old type phone for example. Reclaiming lost skills like map reading, growing your own food, building fires, learning to forage, mending clothes.
I feel the same when I watch the drone and see the gorgeous scenery...makes my heart soar and takes my breath. He's truly talented in putting these videos together
The breeding aprons can help but not foolproof. We had our bucks in with does and only one doe was impregnated while aprons used. Must be measured accurately and secured enough they can get off.
May you get a little nest egg to start, and soon begin.
Yep too much technology creates more hunger for connection with the natural world and with other humans, thus technology is leaving people more and more empty in their soul, until they discover that we can't really thrive without nature and nurture.
Such a healthy way to live growing your own food source is a luxury these days. Thank you for the lovely peek into your amazing lives.
Fascinating. An incredible amount of dedication to raise animals responsibly.
Yes I was thinking this same thing indeed so respectfully and responsible ❤
Ivar face is changing... he is loosing his toddler face! and he still speaks a lot, but this time, it's understandable to "us"!!!
Your images are becoming sooooo beautiful! and your artistic skills is "blooming"!!! it's like refining your visual sensitivity! It's MAGIC!!!! Thank you so much.✨✨💖👌💖✨✨
I feel sorry for you that you've only just been able to understand young Ivar's speech. I have comprehended it for ages as most on here have I believe. Not sure what is your problem but would have liked you to keep it to yourself. It is not shared with any positive lean on it. The lack of understanding is your problem not theirs. Please be mindful of what you share and why you share it. This family works incredibly hard and sincerely to being to us a slice of their very hard life. Yes they've chosen this lifestyle, but that doesn't make it any less arduous and even more so to convert their native tongue into a language most can understand. That Ivar is only 2 and speaks so clearly and with understanding of the concept he's portraying is very advanced for his age. So please , think before you write in future and that goes for all channels you interact on, thankyou.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I dont think it was meant to be a negative comment in any way - there are a lot of people out there having difficulties in understanding toddlers, and others understand them quite well! I am working with young children and can understand them all, but there are other teachers that dont.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 What on earth.... how did you take their comment so negatively 🤣
Your impressions of winter in the forest are amazing. It seems to be like paradise. Your videos become better and better!! 👌
So peaceful and quiet.
That was exhausting for you, well done. It was so funny when you were saying how good the lamb is to eat and the lamb behind stopped eating and looked straight at you 🤣 you all make me smile from beginning to end , especially the little lad 😄
Thank you, dear friends for this beautiful video. It was interesting to learn more about the complexity of the managing the flock. I hope you will have a large and very populated flock this upcoming spring and summer! 🙏💙
We made a central pen with gates to all the pens and a Very High and strong fence on the central pen and because the central pen touched all the others, it was easier to sort the herd without them wanting to follow, the separated ones, the hard part is sorting, but a carrot or treat helps a lot!!! We also have goats and they ALL have collars... a big help we also try to walk them too which makes them easier to catch, having constant contact. your Red bowls seem to also help a lot...
Thank you!
We used to have three rams. Two would fight and one could get on with the job! They are lovely looking sheep.
Haha hmm 🤔 Should we have four rams?
@@Talasbuan I'm just thinking that with goats the bucks fight untill they know Who is the King and sometimes the others can't mate anymore because they've Lost the alfa fight. Hope it's not gonna be that way. Interesting To see what Will happen!
I think this channel is wonderful.
I think you’re both living your best life!
Love that there’s no electronic distractions for the little one.
So well done..
amazing
Such a joyful time! when you are able to post a video of your life activities in the lovely place you call home. Thanx for sharing, and caring so lovingly for yourselves and your critters.
Utan tvekan några av de bästa videodrönarfilmerna och redigeringen på webben! Fortsätt med det underbara arbetet! Hoppas våren är snäll mot dig och din familj!! Om du får chansen igen, vänligen infoga några drönarbilder från en klar natt med fullmåne och snötäckt skog. Det är så magiskt att gå här i skogen när fullmånen är ute och snö täcker allt!!
Completely agree...just marvelous drone footage.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 love your videos always interesting great job 👏 the most authentic content on CZcams I ever seen ❤️
Simple Living Is So Satisfy. To Be Simple In Life Is Not Lazy Acts But A Wise Decision. Enjoy Simple Life Tova, Matias And Ivar.😊 skål🍻
I totally agree with the difference in farm raised meat !! I was born and raised on dairy sheep pigs and all our meat was home grown & butchered. How I yearn for such beautiful meat again instead of this store bought stuff !!!
I thank God I at least had the good clean pure farm meat as a child and up to my early 20s !!!! Now nearly 70 I miss that yummy meat.
Moving the sheep instead of carrying them, Try making a pen with your wire fencing and some wooden batons /posts , just enough for 2 sheep to walk side by side . Have one person at front with a post in each hand and one doing the same at the rear. If you keep them fairly tightly together they should all move in unison and not be able to get much speed up. If you have a food dish up front they can see and will follow if necessary. I'd try without food. Have a couple of batons along each side to stop them pressing on the wire and escaping. This method should work while walking on that path you had cleared and packed down. It's much like using sheep dogs but a fence enclosure instead. It's a good way to train them to move around your paddocks. You don't want big heavy posts at front and back as you must carry the posts in your outstretched arms. I hope this will make moving the young ewes at least easier than having to carry every one !!!!!!. Much love and blessings from Ipswich Queensland Australia from my heart to yours. 🤗💞🙏✌️👍👋👏
Thank you for another great vlog! Really enjoyed this little glimpse into your everyday life dealing with the sheep and completely agree, home-raised meat is so much tastier!
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here blessings to you and your family I have been looking forward to seeing your post and I am not disappointed at all thanks 🙏 for keeping your promise to let us see and share your life and it let’s me personally know that I am bless and so are you and your family be safe and warm your son sure is growing and is very vocal love it because I am a grandma
"We have no idea what we're doing and we just do it anyway".....LOVE IT!!!
That's life..thats how we learn! Great video, as usual!! Tyfs
Thank you for your new beautiful video ❤️
Your drone footage is done with such skill. Amazing! I truly feel as if I am flying. Beautiful work in sharing your journey of life. Continued blessings to your family.
✨⭐️💛🙏💛⭐️✨
As usual outstanding cinematography best regards from Liverpool England.
You and your family 👪 are an inspiration.
I am sure I will watch this at least three times please 🙏 know how much we all appreciate your beautiful videos with all of Us …..Thank You
Your photography is breathtaking! The Winter scenery is spectacular! God, the Creator, does amazing things. Thx for sharing your world with us. Susan
We watch all the time ! The excitement knowing you put a beautiful and educational video out. Thanks you! You two work so hard to keep your family safe and fed. God Bless❤️
This is such a charming video. Thank you!
i'm a farmer i raised sheeps for years. To seperate your flock what you need is a triage corridor. Easy to build, will make your life way easier and it will save your back. Sheep dog we use to moove the flock frome a pasture to another one, not to seperate sheeps.
i wish you the best. Good luck! and thank you for your videos they bring me moments of joy.
I was thinking the very same.
Also the Lime wash is white and will brighten up the cellar. Lime plaster is also fire proof. Back in the old days everyone would lime plaster the inside of their homes so they will not burn down. Maybe you could put some iron candle holders high up on the walls of the cellar for light
We always want something other than what we have.. grass is greener in someone else’s pasture.. you have given me so much joy in your videos. You truly live in the most beautiful,breath taking off grid place. I hope you don’t have the “grass is greener” feeling. You are living it!! We hope to make a out of city move in the next 5 years in our retirement. . But even if we don’t. . Gratitude is essential ❤ happy almost march! Cant wait to see what spring brings you❤🌱
Hello, prepared or not the videos are always lovely to watch and so peaceful, thank you. I smile watching Ivar join 🤗
Beautiful video. Thanks x
I think the phrase you might have been looking for is, “then nature will take its course.”
hej, the experience little Ivar will make at your homestead will prepare him for a better human being. i lived almost the same way when i was a young child, no running water, an out house and animals to get meat from and a huge garden to grow vegetables and fruit trees. Today iám thankful to have this experience i made as a kid and i give it (the more modern way) to my son. Thank you for sharing your live and growing process. i know your live is not everyday easy and it is hard work and an everyday challenge. stay healthy and keep going.
A temporary solution might be for you to make a small wooden cage, or get a cheap folding dog cage, that will fit in the back of your wagon. So, instead of carrying them in your arms you can at least utilize your wagon and carry them that way. Then just pop the cage out of the wagon and store it away somewhere for next time. Just a low tech idea! Cheers from Maine!
Yes, I was thinking we should utilise the wagon in some way..
@@Talasbuan could be a cheap and easy way to get by until you find a more permanent solution, at least!
@@Talasbuan Even one sheep at a time in The hay wagon would help I would think. A cage trailer towed by your car perhaps if it can manage the snow without a road. Do you have a tractor? I can't recall. I do watch a lot of farming channels as that's how I was raised and worked on farms. Sheep were always yhe dumbest animals. They'd always be as far away from the gate as possible. To hay feed in the snow was very tiring carrying bales of hay thru knee deep snow that the tractor couldn't pass thru.
A note here, back in my parents early days of farming and starting a family of 7 , they only had an old model T and the pig was transported in wherevthe back seat was removed. That was in 1955 you're dpungvthe same sort of thing ...some things don't change much LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videography is so stunning. And your little boy is so beautiful. I respect you so much. It’s hard work you do! But how amazing to live your dream.
Little Ivar is a blessed young man to have parents like you. Happy that you're sharing a little part of your life with us.
Thank you very much for another brilliant episode! When you started carrying the sheep I thought, "Mathias needs to find a better way to move the sheep". 5 minutes later you said it! I suggest you buy some rope and make a few halters, one halter for each lead rope. If you can lead one with a rope and a small bucket of grain or lucerne, the others might follow. Also, if you start teaching Ivar to lead some of the lambs one at a time on a halter, while the lambs are still young they will be used to being lead by the time they are older. Keep trying to find ways to make your life easier now, you body will thank you for it when you are much older. Keep up the great work! Love to you all from Australia! 😍
Sorting pens and chutes! Very helpful for many tasks.
Mathias, the learning never stops, bless you all, hugs to Ivar❤
So much snow, and your son is in his element! Just enjoys it and is very happy there! You all give me such a sense of peace! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!
Beautiful!
And thank you for writing thé sweet words of your clever and observative sweet boy !!!
“Welcome to the channel where we don’t know what we are doing” after the separation of the sheep made me laugh so hard! You all do so much work-be gentle with yourselves. You are truly wonderful!
These videos are all so appreciated by we who can only glimpse from afar your beautiful life. Ivan can wade through deep snow now! What a treat to have seen him grow up. Such a sweet little guy.
Here in the UK, there are always trained sheepdogs for sale for all different reasons...for example, an older dog that may now benefit from less work than with a pro shepherd or larger scale sheep farmer and be ideal for the smaller amount of work you'd need one for. Maybe something to look into if you don't want to train one up yourself or not sure how? Taking one of mine sheep training tomorrow....we just love it as a pastime. I don't get to do it often because there's nowhere close enough to me and it's always going to be a bit of a drive just to train.
What an enjoyable episode, from start to finish! We watched with smiles on our faces and then laughter as Ivar's ram was introduced to his new home. Thank you!
Hello at last u have a new vedio, tnx 😍
Thanks for another gorgeous video!
Loved learning the names of some of your sheep ( Hello Greta and Doris), and thanks to Ivar, I now know how to say Pee in Swedish. Lovely vlog as always
Hello ALONE/ KENI 🐕...THE CARABO WERE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 🦌🦌🦌SUCH A GORGEOUS SIGHT!!! LOVED THE SCENERY AGAIN, NEVER GET TIRED OF IT🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻. I THINK ALL YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR CABIN SOUNDS WONDERFUL TOO.. SO MUCH WORK AHEAD...I GOT SICK FROM WATCHING 👀 MY GRANDSON, AND NOW HAVE BRONCITUS/ ASYMA FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 8 WEEKS 😂....NO FUN..... WELL LOVE SEEING YOU BOTH AGAIN ❤
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE
YOUR GAL PAL
KATHY JOHNSTON... OH MY MO. TURNED 9O🎉 TODAY
Lol 😂…….welcome to the channel where we have no idea what we are doing 😂😂 You guys are the best.❤
maybe a long stick/pole and also possibly using the fencing you have to create hallways/walk ways to other areas with open and close doors.
Yes, in English we use the word "pregnant" for animals as well. And maybe the phrase you were looking for was, "Let nature take its course," or something similar. This was fun to watch! Right now I'm cleaning and spinning the wool from one of my brother's Cheviot sheep from his farm.
I really learn a lot about separating the rams from the ewes. Good luck with the breeding program!
You guys are learning about lot of things and doing a wonderful job! It is not easy life for sure. I do admire your beautiful family. Thank you
I do not always know what's going on with the sheep , ewes, lambs and the hornless ram but I learn on the go. Tomorrow I'll be watching it again. All this knowledge is not exactly applicable in my circumstances (: as I live in a Polish city but I put myself in your shoes and enjoy this life tremendously.
More films like that, please.
Have a look for some New Zealand style sheep yards, or portable sheep yards. You can find some inspiration to build your own versions. You can do it in such a way that it is not so large and mostly focused on the gully separation gates, and just extend the individual yards in whatever way you like with your portable fencing. Can easily be built in a day or two with a couple of people. And self milled timber or tree rounds if you desire.
Love your family and videos. ❤️❤️❤️
The snow capped trees are beautiful. Winter months are cold in your part of the World,but I miss visiting Finland where my husband is from,especially in winter. I grew up in a village and we had sheep. My father taught us how to care for them. He built a side by side trough? To separate them.. I don't know if this is helpful but that's what I remember..lol..your child is getting big ,Very cute to hear him speak Swedish..stay warm🥰😍💕
LOVEEEEE the new time lapse feature! The time lapse paired with the music is perfection.
Enlightening to say the least. Ivar was especially cute and Mathias was amazing lifting those ladies over a fence and across the pasture. 💪🏼
Beautiful scenery and landscape, absolutely breath-taking!!!
🙋♀️❤❤❤🇩🇪
It was so funny when the whole family has to run and the camera too🐑🐑🐑🧔👩🧒📷 😁😁👍
Thank you for the video! I have a fiew suĝestions about moving the sheep. 1. You Can lur them with some grains. 2. You can put them In a leach one by one and bring To the other pen. 3. You can bring the whole flock To the New Pen and separate then there, then lur the older sheep back To the old Pen. 4. You can take one of the young ewes on a leach and try if the others Will follow
Ivae is the most happy child in the world.
But the swedish regime will soon force him to school, where they will try brainwash and break him down.. :(

Wow Ivar is growing up! so nice to see your videos again. Greetings From Seattle Pacific Northwest, Washington State USA
Nobody flies a drone through the forest like you do, Mathias! I see you now have a car. Ivar is so cute 🥰 and learning so much. He listens well to you, Tova! Beautiful family. 👍😎🇨🇦
Ενθουσιασμένη για μία ακόμη φορά με το νέο σας βίντεο !Είναι τα τοπία ,είναι ο τρόπος ζωής σας ,είναι το ότι μεταδίδεται και στο παιδάκι σας την ζωή στην φύση με σεβασμό !Για όλα αυτά και την καλή επεξεργασία του βίντεο με πανέμορφα στιγμιότυπα από Drone σας ευχαριστώ που τα μοιράζεστε μαζί μας !Να είστε πάντα καλά 🤗😍
Your life is drastically different than mine, however I enjoy my environment as well. Yours is simpler and calm.
You guys are darling!!!!
Смотрю на вас думаю какие молодцы сразу подписалась молодые жить в лесу держать хозяйство это многое значит дай Аллах вам здоровье много лет назад я научную. Работу делала с овцами смотрю и радуюсь за вас очень жалко ничего не понимаю только
Awesome episode.
Great corralling the lambs. 🙏🏻❤️❤️💯🕊
LOOKS VERY WHOLESOME ... JUST LIKE MY CHILDHOOD.
We always kept the rams in a separate small building and paddock except for breeding period. Before 3 months old the male lambs were pulled for future meat.
This was another amazingly beautiful work of art and way better than an action movie! Rams running towards the ladies 😅❤
I know it’s a hard life and hard work but I tear up with the beauty, serenity, quietness, the commitment to the animals and family life, the laying in the snow, the smiles…
You are very special people living a very special, meaningful life
"Jag gillar era videos mycket. Ert land och er vardag inom jordbruk och fåruppfödning intresserar mig mycket. Jag förstår att det är ett svårt liv till viss del, men era videos förmedlar intrycket att ni förstår naturens cykler och integrerar er med dess visdom på ett avundsvärt sätt som bara jordbrukare kan. En stor kram från Brasilien
Just wonderful!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Best wishes for a happy new year. Doesn't matter if you don't know what you are doing. That's better!!! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
But, that is why your life is so darn interesting. You have to be so inventive and imaginative in so many ways. So admirable.
You work so hard and amaze me with you gorgeous fly overs!! ❤
Ivar is really growing. Haha dad, so funny .ivar is having fun.
Awesome winter wonderland your place🤩🤩🤩
I always love your videos always looking forward for the next upload
Another fantastic video! Love watching your wonderful family! Thanks for taking us along.
I kept saying aloud that maybe a collar and lead rope would be easier on you. That's how I moved my llama's when they weren't cooperative. 😊 I just love your videos!
Nice to see how it all works , the sheep holding and everything. Hard labor! Great video again.
Thank you Mathias and family for the new vlog.. im alway waiting for this and im amazed from youre video i feel like im with you guys… love lots
Just love your little family. I watch from North Carolina USA
