    I don't blame you for getting annoyed with people's ridiculous expectations. Your channel is realistic and relatable to me - no one I know can just buy £1000's of building materials, £1000's of tools, or spare the time to work non-stop on one project. Just keep chipping away at things and you'll be fine.

      If one ask for money for windows to build a new home then this must be done. It is not correct to make a promise and not to fullfill it. As a facility manager I know that windows can buy bought in 5 hours in a market. Insolation material ? He can produce himself he has logs for the floor. It needs only slates and 20 cm wood dust for a insolation high end. Of this simply putting 5 cm slats.
      The truth is this men has no real drive. He is like w little girl and his wife is like a men SHE is boss. To finish the "log house" it needs 2-3 men 3 week 5 days 8 hours. Then it wood be a nice basic home that can be made better stepp by stepp.

      @@frankpohl4377I agree 100 percent with you about asking for money for windows then doing nothing with. I started watching 2 years ago and was excited but then nothing happens no projects get done he’s like my uncle Bob has a million ideas and begins them all but never finishes one. I do believe he has zero drive. They have 1 child and no outside jobs, a couple animals what does he do with his time , that’s right goes to sustainable workshops that he doesn’t do any projects with . I only pop in to see if they ever started the house project. I feel dumb for giving them my hard earned worked hard for money

      I was going to say the same thing! Ivor is one month younger than my grandson here in Wisconsin USA and they play and act EXACTLY the same way, including the energetic wiggles and antics of typical little boys. Your cooking of sauces reminds me so much of my grandmother's cooking of rhubarb sauce (like you made your gooseberries) that it brought back many memories. (I am 67 now, and my grandma is long gone.) I think of the windows every time I get notice of a new video, just because I am anxious for you to get them and love them, although I know they won't be installed for a long time. I just want to believe you are not getting ripped off from this company, since that seems to be happening more and more post-covid. But i remain faithful since they are showing you some progress. Keep doing what you are doing, you have a LOVELY life, and living it exactly as you want.

    I particularly appreciate the pace and the flow, of your daily life and projects! Your son, can acrually learn/build/develop his problem solving skills! The reality, that all takes time and is a process, is made so visible here! To pause, to breathe to listen and to hear; to respond.....is such a gift that you offer each other!! I am grateful to you, for sharing your daily life, family and interests. The choices of photography, are exquisite, poetic and deeply heart centered. The 3 of you, are a beautiful family and wonderful Role Models!!! I also notice, you rposture, has improved when ou move about!You had spoken of your tendency to hunch over.

    My mom was raised on a farm in North Dakota. Her heritage is Norwegian. My grandmother often made fruit desserts like you made. Cream was poured on top. They just called it fruit sauce. It could also be called a fruit pudding. Thank you for the video. So relaxing to watch your deliberate way of living, savoring each moment of your days.

      I've just been stimulated looking through my old Mum's recipe book. She would make us fruit Mousse in a very similar recipe as yours. She would use gelatine in place of corn-flour. Her influence was French. Enjoyed your video as I always do. Keep on being natural, at least I love it.

    You guys are looking so well and healthy! Your outdoor life certainly agrees with all three of you.
    It is astounding what people think we/you should be doing it and how. When you are trying to live with simple solutions and minimal debt, building a life entirely with your own hands It is slow. It takes time to save to buy materials and tools, it takes time to work out how to build something to utilize those materials in the best way possible. People have gotten so used to buying cheap things that are mass-produced, or working many hours outside the home to pay someone else to do the work they have lost the connection to the old way of life. Our ancestors would be shocked at the pace of life today and I don't believe they would recognise a lot of the things we fill our days with.
    We have been wanting to put an extension on our yurt and summer kitchen as our children are growing bigger, and we have still not put a single stump in the ground. We have certainly been working, it's just things take time, animals take time to rotate and care for in a holistic manner and we want to enjoy our lovely family too. And that is totally OK. what matters is living the life we want to live each and every day and slowly chipping away at projects in a sustainable way. Sustainable in the way we make choices that are taking care of the planet, but also in managing our own energy and mental health along the way. There is no point working so hard you are miserable and your family resents the very life you are trying to create. There is beauty in the small things of our days and they are worthy of celebration and noticing.
    There are alot of people who have never lived off-grid on a limited income who have no idea what they are talking about who comment on things. They think they know because they have read a few books or watched some CZcams, but they don't. There is a big difference between book learning and life learning. We get similar comments from time to time and understand your frustration entirely.
    Keep up the great work guys! Much love from Australia. xx

    I've never been disappointed with a single episode, and I have watched every one, sometimes multiple times. I live off-grid in Minnesota USA and most people don't understand why we choose to live the way we do, and can be quite critical. We love our life, and as you said, some things are just a bonus. Live your life as you choose. Thank you for sharing a little bit of it with us.

Construction: In ground food cellar (massive undertaking), sauna, firewood storage, finishing the big-house roof and room extension. Nevermind raising a beautiful little boy!

    Dear Tova and Mathias your videos are like a breath of fresh air in today's world. I think this episode touched me deeply seeing how content and happy you are with your life. To me you are the closest example to a rich and happy person. You are healthy, you have each other and your family around, your relationship is filled with love and respect, you have freedom and independence to live on your own terms. How amazing is to grow your own food and provide for yourselves. The right community also plays a huge part.
    Most people these days will never get that contentment and happiness because person who is healthy, happy, confident and can critically think is not useful for government and big corps. It is crazy to think that most of the people deprive themselves in nurturing relationships, meaningful connections, family, nature and healthy food in a pursuit of so called ''happiness'' in a distorted its form. Now ''happiness'' is shallow and empty self indulging life which makes people even more and more unhappy and stressed.

The calm and peaceful nature of your presentation is a great antidote to the huge amount of rubbish available to view. That’s the beauty of CZcams.

    I think some of those people pointing might be that they like what YOU do and want to see more of you and it might come out as a negative comment.

    People on the internet can be so rude and irrating! I always told my children not to point fingers because there's 3 pointing back at you. If you have that much time to critize another we need to look at our own life. You 3 are living a beautiful life and one that os not the easiest but definitely rewarding. I truly believe some of those people are simply jealous. Try to ignore them as I honestly think it gives them happiness to be upsetting to otgers because their lives are misery and full of regrets.

The overall attitude is instant gratification. It’s so wrong, in my opinion. You are exactly right.. it is the journey and process of achieving one’s goals that creates true satisfaction. I salute you. Much love from beautiful Southern Oregon!🥰

    When I watch your videos it brings me so much joy and happiness to see you all living such a simple and old fashioned lifestyle! Finding time to play with your beautiful son and how you make him a central and important role in your work around the farm animals and the nature that surrounds you. Please don’t let the cruel words that outsiders say make any difference to how you live your life ! I’m sure they are only jealous of the the freedom you enjoy living this amazing life of abundance that you enjoy right from the land you work ❤

    The reason for ridicule is jealousy. Plain and simple. Your life is what so many thrive for! Take your time, smell the beauty in each day. I commend you for your simple, stressless (almost) lifestyle!

    Remember to keep your head up and stay positive, no matter how difficult things may seem. Toxic comments may come your way, but don't let them bring you down.
    You're doing great, and it's truly inspiring to see you spending quality time with your loved ones in the beautiful forests of Sweden.
    Keep up the excellent work and never lose sight of your goals! Cheerios, love from Singapore.

    Guys, I truly enjoy watching your videos. I’m new to your channel and I’m so happy that I found it. In this day and age people focus so much on things, material stuff their goals and money, they forget that the journey of lives and plans of it are better that the goal itself. I’m on similar journey myself with my family with building projects and I am so grateful to be able to live the life in the nature where things are not fully built yet but I get to be able to be happy for every small or big changes that are happening towards the goals. Do not take some of the comments of other people to your heart. Only you fully know your life’s happiness and the things you cherish the most. God bless you and your family ❤

    Brio! I miss that. The food looked really good! Unfortunately my rhubarb just disappeared. That roast beef 😊 Who cares about the windows? Your already painting the house falu red 😊 good luck with isolating the floor! Love that you’re taking the time to show Ivar all you do and take an interest in everything he does. You rock! Don’t let anyone rush you. Enjoy what’s there now, the rams, the cat, Malva, calendula, puddles :)

    I understand exactly how it feels when others overshare their opinions about the hardwork and love thats put into this way of living. Please know that you are both a huge inspiration for me, we are slowly working towards our family goal of becoming self sustained, just like you. You are both living my dream and it helps me to keep focused. I am also a firm believer in figuring out things as I go. Thank you for your channel and sharing your life with us all. You inspire me so much, I appreciate you ❤️

    Mathias, I subscribe to over 400 channels, your editing, cinematography, sound mixing is second to none. In fact I think your skills are at a professional level and may be coveted by film makers the world over. Maybe you have found a secondary very lucrative source of income, that could be undertaken remotely. All that might be needed is to connect the dots between yourself and the filmmakers. You are a very talented young man! Oh and e love your content.❤😊

    The fruit combination's in NZ where I spent 31 years we called a compote. You can do all sorts of fruit combinations. I used to make it as we lived near fruit orchards. It's nice with yogurt too. Don't worry about what people say. Believe me, many in this crazy crazy world 🌎 right now would dream to be in your shoes. I surely would. Wonderful ❤❤Wonderful

    You guys are doing an amazing job, taking care of yourselves and our Earth in a beautiful way. And raising one of the happiest and healthiest little boys in existence! I always say the universe works for us in mysterious ways - maybe this challenge of negative comments is an opportunity to sit with the discomfort and look to see if there is still an internal wound somewhere which responds to it. When you find it, you can love it better, until negative comments just go in one ear and out the other because they have nowhere left within you to make a home. 🥰

    Dear Matthias.
    Only read the positive comments!
    People who tell you what to do are just jealous because you live your dreamlife and they don't or can not.
    You are the most authentic person I know.
    Keep it up!!

    People should wait till you ask them their opinion before they give it. On the other hand there is a very good way and a bad way to offer help without being mean or condescending. I think your family is beautiful and you do have a wonderful life

    You have a wonderful relationship and life style, unique to you, thank you all so much for sharing your warmth, talents, advice, hard work, the seasons, your beautiful boy, music, extraordinary footage only seen where you live, reading, the hard graft of all your jobs, your extended family, your animals. You have certainly more than met my expectations for spending time with an exceptional family for a few hours here and there. Much appreciation from Australia.

    I will add to what others have said. You three are living your best life and I wait eagerly for each episode. Never listen to those with negative opinions. The world is full of negativity. Your world is amazing. I know it’s really hard work, but it’s also rewarding, and watching you play with your little boy and his trains shows you have your priorities exactly right.

    I completely understand your journey, of presence and mindfulness in the quality of each moment. Ignore the people who just focus on "doing" and ego things. It's their journey. I very much resonate with your view on things, your rhythm. Again an amazing video, filled with beauty, practical things, and seeing Ivar getting taller and taller. Your videos fill my heart with joy, beauty and calmness on a monthly basis. Don't change anything, be yourselves and follow your heart and bliss. Gratitude for all you do and share with us so generously! Much love your way to the three of you as well as the furry and feathered ones! 💙🙏

    Rhubarb is very good mixed with strawberries. I used honey instead of sugar. I would make pie with the rhubarb as well. Honey enhances the flavor of the fruits. Love your videos. Your family is a beautiful thing with the love shown between you. Blesses my life.

    I just want you to know that I love watching what you create. Your way of life is yours and I respect that you are sharing so much of your experience. I think I am learning some things by watching. I can only be thankful to be able to witness a little of your journey. Also, the reason I enjoy watching is mostly because you seem so very true to yourselves and that in itself is inspiring.
    And also regarding your amazing recipes: I'm excited to emulate some of them and I would guess that maybe some of them only have a Swedish iteration. Cultures have tons of crossovers and similar things, but its extra special to be able to see a recipe I've never seen before. SO again: thank you for sharing. It's really fun to watch.
