Kris harbor videos on living off grid in his round house may help u guys with electric
I'll certainly do. You put all the obnoxious, loud, machine using homesteaders/ survivalists into shame. Keep inspiring beautiful people.
Arne here from Michigan. We have a hobby farm. No more animals now that the kids are gone. Lots of veggys and fruit trees pecans English walnuts blue a d black berries 73 yrs with plenty of work to do. Michigan has tough winters 21 below in 2018 with without blizzards. We restored a 1857 farm house over our lifetime. It turned out nice. We went out of budget 2 yrs ago and put in a geoheat pump best thing ever. No more dependence on firewood or oil. That's what you do when you get old. I'm also disabled and those wood splitting days are over. You will not regret your life stile. Its soooooo satisfying. We can can all are baggy needs. And make jams. We hope to die on homestead and skip nursing home. In Michigan we have to protect our livestock from black bears, wolves.cougers, coyotes and an occasional bigfoot. Looking forward to your videos. Arne a d carol married 49 years. Farming is good for your marriage. You depend on each other. Most of our city friends have passed away.
Good day. Just watched all your videos. You are great. Keep going and look after one another👍👍
@arne servatius Thank you for telling us your story!
Dreaming this kind of life, so simple and so serene. No traffic., no noise, no pollution❤
yet they seem so sad there. I wonder why.
@@watchyourst3p why would they seem sad? Slow must not mean sad
@@watchyourst3p I SEE NOTHING BUT PURE PEACE & SERENITY! No sadness what so ever. I think it’s BEAUTIFUL! 🥰
@@watchyourst3p I think you are sad because these 2 people look peaceful and relaxt
Simple?. It is hard work to live like that on a location like that. At least they will never get fat.
That's heaven for alot of people no debt no hassles no boss no bus no unwelcome noise just you, your family and the wilderness.
Me my lady friend and the wilderness!!!
Sadly if all of humanity did this there wouldn’t be any natural green space left. Just 3-5 billion shacks surrounded by sewage puddles and rats . It is us city dwellers , many who sacrifice our dreams , that make it possible for the few young to do this . Also the handout culture (entitled takers)would follow you (producers ,makers) out to your “farms” so they could harvest what you grow . 🤔
this is true luxury
Ya heaven till they realize how much money it really does take to have all those buildings and pens for the animals, then there is hay grain and medicine they get sick to. I just gave a vet 2500 us dollars to get a chunk of a toy he ate outa his intestines. Dog is so stupid it don't even know what to eat.had a horse that ate opossum pissed on hay and it killed him . Vets cost us 3800 to watch him die.
Oh ya don't forget to pay the land taxes, you will have that bill forever it never gets paid off . And about every 20 years ya need to replace the roofs and a lot of dry rot areas. I'm saying this from years of landownership.
The old ways are calling us back, this is the way we are ment to live
Absolutely. Keep in mind though that this sort of thing requires owning the land and resources to start, so it's unfortunately a lot harder to get going these days. But on the bright side, modern technology can help make the day to day easier. Either way it's quite the tempting idea.
True, but it seems that most of the people moving from the city into the wild do not have or get children. Life is better when you have children and especially when living like that.ö Lole the old ways. Large families in the beautiful forests
Modern technologies and medicine make the old ways of living appealing again :) Also the greatest, but most overlooked invention : modern shoes.
I can honestly tell you... it's not. This is quaint but I would never trade in my city condo for living in the middle of nowhere. Hell, my TV is bigger than their entire living area. LOL
@@scratchy996 How does technology and medicine make the old ways of living more appealing? I don't see the connection. Can you explain?
I am starting to notice a lot of people are being fed up with the modern city life and modern society a lot or trying to find smpler life near nature including myself . I cant stand city life or modern society anymore . And i think this is a very positive thing . The modern city life is a cancer to the soul .
It's TRUE. We have been living in the city for 20 years during those times when our children are going to school . As I am nearing my Retirement, my husband and I moved back to our farm. Since then we started last January this year but now we have our pigs, ducks and chicken and a lot of veggies. We are trying now to build our fishpond
im one of your kind ..;-)))
A lovely place to live simple living.
Stop whining and just go already. Make sure to delete your youtube account and throw away the cellphone in garbage can so you can totally stay at Peace.
Humans are so hypocrite. It's the technology that made it possible for the world to read your shitty comment on CZcams. Technology and modern lifestyle is the true way. These videos seems so nice to watch on CZcams but living like this is very hard in reality specially without any form of modern technology.
I'm actually selling my house in the suburbs...to move closer to the core of the city. I personally love modern cities. They are full of life, experiences, people and sensations you just don't get living out in the middle of nowhere.
The feeling of living close to nature is the best thing ever. My Dad sold his business in Dubai to move back to our village in Pakistan and ever since, he has been really happy.
I realized living wildlife is the best. For people who love this life like me.
Where is your villege located in pakistan.... Our family left our villege about 13 years ago... Its very hard for me nd my grandfather living in city becuse we have our roots in our villege.... Love nature.
Wise dad you have. Me too can't wait to go back to my village, I hate the urban life.
❤❤❤
Thts a good choice.
7 years in that tiny house. Cheers for staying together. Love the simple living.
I love how lovingly she is with the animals, how cozy their home is and how accurately everything is done by them.. Great job! 👍
When you live with nature everything you do is for yourself and not according to a meaningless standard of society...
So what you gonna do is going to be accurate 😃
12:14 I've never seen such a trust from a sheep towards its owner. Looks like you're really good to your animals. Respect.
Normal life here in Kenya. Even better because it never gets too hot or cold. I live in the highlands of Mt Kenya and fortunately there are good tarmac roads, water and electricity.
Trying to find a place at the foothills of Mt. Kenya. Can you please give me some information on how to do so. I am looking for small house
@@Aeon1019 If you are a Kenyan citizen its fairly straightforward. Just contact a local real estate company or land broker and buy. Price varies with proximity from tarmac and major towns.
🇰🇪🇰🇪
I love Kenya.I used to live in Northern Malawi and often went to visit my brother who went to school there.
I would've imagined it would get so hot in Kenya. Is it really that moderate?
That aerial intro with the sun shining through the fog and treetops is one of the most beatiful intros I've seen.
Although homesteading is out of my reach due to disability, I do hope that I can live a simple life with a little cottage and nice garden.
Your life looked lovely and your small cottage is very cute
yeah, this is ideal for a lot of people but not always doable especially if you have a disability. i would love to be able to live like this but simply wouldn't be able to sustain myself because of my illnesses.a simple life is wonderful but so is modern medicine lol
@@cheechkatofthevalley thats the best thing about modern day! Best medicine so far, the ability to live with both western and ancient medicinals, AND you can live simply and still be a short drive from a grocery market
@@evelynkrull5268 absolutely agree :)
Your vlogs give me complete relaxation. Your calming voices during your every day life is so satisfying to watch.
So cool. I remember starting to cut my logs for my house 18 years ago. Me and the kids lived in the bush. Through a forest fire a divorce, death of a child. Still standing. The kids and I just love the life.
Im so sorry about your child!
I'd love to see some of your life have you thought of a youtube channel
Can u say what happened to the child?
Don't feel like you need to apologize for things that aren't perfect. Your homestead is beautiful!!
I homestead here in the US. It's a beautiful life. Thanks for sharing- very inspiring!
What a blessing to be able to live this way. Your children will be self sufficient, educated, respectful of nature, animals and the land.
lovely
Books, minimum of comfort and nature is where my heart goes.
u stole my words sir!
far away from Chemicals and noise this is pure life really amazing
Cant hide chemtrails...
@@jaffajoffer6300 true but I don't think they spray in Sweden
Your so lucky to live the simple life. Dont listen to the haters, they're just jealous. One day i wish i could do the same. Good Luck to you. Subscribed!
Thank you for Beeing honoust
Yeah. There are some serious losers that love to whinge about anything. Really nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
So in agreement, sHoRt FuZe. Those who can and make the commitment are deserving of our appreciation, at least. It's a rough life. Rewarding, yes, in the end. But, depending on your level of commitment: Livestock? Does anyone know how to process and preserve meat? Can you snuggle a bunny and eat it later? Here come the haters.....
Simple ...sure doesn't mean EASY...but i too, LOVE. the beauty, solitude @ simplicity of Rural country living.
Dreaming this kind of life, so simple and so serene. No traffic., no noise, no pollution
This is what I intend to do
living with nature and worshiping with nature..May God bless you.
I am nature. Worship me 😌
It's amazing how neat, organized and functional your tiny log cabin is. It doesn't look cramped to the observer. I look forward to seeing your future projects come to fruition.
Hii im from tropical side..i so respect u two bcause being what u want to b..no debt no polution no live pressure so this is a heaven..keep your vision guy..
Wise words man
Saving money to buy a piece of land and start living this way

We support u
gotta wait till I'm old enough...

What a beautiful life you have created. I yearn for the day to visit Sweden, it is where my great-grandfather immigrated from. Blessings to you both.
i live in war zone , looking at nice persons like you it makes mi feel that still some goodness in this world god bless you
Abu Alward my prayers go to you. Where is it that you are located Abu?
Sending prayers for you and family, wish war end soon as possible. Stay strong, safe and healthy. May you are always in protection
Bless you Abu, I hope you can find a way out my friend.
Be safe my friend.
There is many goodness in this world....but media shows us just the opposite to make us believe there is no good anymore. GOD bless you.
Don’t be ashamed at the construction site mess. I’m in the middle of a similar project in norther Maine. You’re much further along then I am. But thumbs up to the both of you! You have a beautiful location. I commented before I finished the video. I love the bloopers at the end. Having done a few videos myself, I totally connect to that.
What are bloopers, Dennis Conrad?
Daisy Chain The bloopers are at the end where they show them videoing it. They would make a mistake, and say the line again. The mistakes are call bloopers here in the US. It could be messing up a line, or something was missed in the scene that shouldn’t be there.
In the system you pay huge bills to live in a tiny apartment, owned by the bank, in a lousy neighbourhood. If you default, the bank takes the property back and throws you out in the street. With your cabin, YOU throw the bank out in the street, and that´s amazing.
You guys are fantastic an inspiration I’m amazed how talented you are and how fast you’re learning. Compliments to both of you. Matias you have golden hands.
Thank you for sharing your homestead. Homesteads are always a work in progress.
Halfway through the video I paused, subscribed, shared on Twitter, then went back to watching. It suited my spirit
Thank you so much Patrick!
This kind of life is normal to us Pacific Islanders. Thats hw we live frm generations to generations. It will be much easier if we hve access to good roads and power/electricity. In our own eyes we think we are rich bt to the western world, we are poor.
Amen! God has blessed you with a great sense of perception.
doesn't matter what the western world thinks, the important is that u feel good abt ur way of life ^_^
Then why do so many Pacific islanders move to New Zealand or Australia?
@@hellopolly2691 Each each and individual choice.Maybe they prefer western lifestyle.
@@hellopolly2691 many in New Zealand and Australia live this lifestyle too :) because for so many, it makes sense :)
I love simple living like this... so calm and in sync with nature
Its excellent to see njce people who live of the grid
After 20 years of living in the city I bought a place like this and shortly I will be OUT of the city breeding horses,and a good quality sheep...maybe some angus.
Aren’t you afraid of getting kicked while you’re breeding that horse
Would love to follow your progress - on social media? Share?
Add an online side business to that Idea and you are set.
Blessed Man good point
Just Because I can I will definitely do that
Our life in the northern corner of Sikkim,a blessed state in India is just like this...we live minimalistic life...and we feel blessed being close with Nature
Wish to visit there
I really enjoyed this video and since it's a year old, I hope you have more. You have worked very hard and created a wonderful life. Love all the animals and your cabin is charming and peaceful. Thank you for sharing. xo
Living off-grid 5 years myself. Love it. Would not, will not change. Simple, hard at times but always worth it.
Hey just found your blog went back and watch the other ones. too. Like all of them I appreciate y'all talking in English. As you can tell with the y'all am from the south of U.S. in Texas. I am up there in age and it's good to see people of your generation trying and doing living off the grid also using old ways of doing things but also with a modern twist to them .So good luck on your adventures in making a home in the woods.And please keep making your blogs.
I personally like both city life and country life. Thank you for your interesting video. It takes so much effort to look after so many different animals. And thanks for making your video in English.
Simple, humble, most comfortable living environment
Hi there! We are new subs from Canada;)
What a beautiful homestead 💖
Please don’t apologize for constructions in the works! Or even anything that is messy;) “Real life “ is what we love to see ;) Its all so beautiful!
Thank you so much, haha yeah, i guess the reality makes it all better :D
Great way of life! I love it all! It all looks good to me plus your great plans! Bless you both & make more vlogs please!
your home is perfectly appointed.the layout is so efficient.a library is a must and a space for music.thankyou for the tour.
Really soothing..they also have body of water nearby..i cant ask for more..Blessed are they..🙏
I have been following another 'off grid' couple living in British Columbia, Canada, and one day discovered your site. I am very impressed with the quiet contentment that you show in both your words and actions. I wish you every success in your mission, and have just become a patron.
They be like it's not so nice, it's a mess and i'm sitting here like, that is heaven. New subbie
xD
ditto!!
Yea ,for me thats heaven ,wish I afford to buy land ,
Very nice cozy home.
I agree as well.
One day me, my wife, and my son will live like this!
Thank you for the video
🙂
I salute you both Tova and Mathias for your courage & your work I like the beauty around you congratulations
Hi Guys, thank you for sharing this. This is one of the most beautiful vidoes I've watched in a long long time. I love your land and the life you live. Your home is cozy and beautiful too... I love your homestead ♥️ it's very beautiful and all the projects that you both are working on. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with the world 🌍 this video was enough to have me following you always ♥️💐♥️
Your home is awesome! I live and travel fulltime in my rv but next year i am going to start working on my dream of having a off grid home
nomadic drifter we have off grid place for sale large barn with studio in New Mexico
People find this type of living as amazing and impressive, to us africans this is just a normal home at grand mas😍 I guess I africa we are more blessed than we think we are.
I think you have some truth in what you are saying.
/Mathias
You're CLEARLY a bot because "Africans" don't refer to themselves as "Africans" because "africans" know that africa isnt one country 💁🏾
Blessed is a state of mind no matter where or how you live. Besides, The United States is a big country, we do have families that have lived like this for generations. So.......
@@88charlottegirl So then people from Europe "don't refer to themselves" as "Europeans", because "Europeans" know that Europe "isn't one country". Right?
Zuhra Ali except you don’t have that grass and that kind of woods ☝️
Love it, big area, with nature around, no pollution.
Hi from Canada, it was completely accidental that I came across your you tube blog. And I am so glad that I did! Thank you so much for sharing.
You can complete your dreams only if you get the right life partner. Lucky.
@@debrajessen7975 Doesn't have to be god or the right partner. You can even complete your dreams solo too if you believe in yourself.
@@KaltrinaDemiri
I don't believe in God.
And I am no more solo.
So my dreams are completed only in dreams.
Exactly also a clear route to a hospital as one gets older
You need to be right as well
That's what I was thinking. Unfortunately, my partner wouldn't enjoy that kind of lifestyle :(
So very nice, many blessings to you both and your lovely animals. 👍👍💙💚💜👏👏
Beautiful animals. Beautiful property.
Wonderful living off grid. I really commend you both! It certainly makes people tap into resourcefulness and creativity. Loved the tour and thank you for sharing your homestead. I also love the woods!
My large family grew up in a cabin my dad built in the woods. It was a very small house with not much conveniences. We did have electricity, but not always running water, and burned wood for heat. However, we did not have the harsh winters and snow as you have.
Life is easy why we make it hard .this is how life should be. 👍👌
Hussein khalif ain’t easy...just saying.
Your homestead is really impressive and looks like a great property. Good for you to live "off grid" - on your own! A lot of people are commenting that it looks like "heaven" - and it does - but I think also, a lot of people have NO CLUE how much WORK it is to run a homestead. That "heaven" would quickly turn into "hell" (for the wrong people) - because they don't understand it is sun up to sun down continual work to take care of the property and all the animals - not to mention living without running water or power (? right?)! Very interested to see how your homestead develops! All the best to you from Minnesota! 💞
Oh, how true your words are! People living in big cities don't understand the country life: they see only beautiful nature and cute animals, but don't take into account that those animals and plants need constant care without any holidays and even weekends)) I live in the country in Ukraine, I know this way of life for sure)) I wish all the best to this nice couple😊
Yeah, there are work from morning to evening, never a boring moment you can say :D Can take some adjustment to live without indoor water and electricity :) Have a lovely evening!
Ain't that the truth! Lol
@@Talasbuan I wonder where you recharge your batteries,
you must use them, otherwise how could you use a camera and a computer for making videos? And you can't do without some electrical instruments while doing some construction work, I guess....
@@marynastanishevska8164 For now we have a very small solar system with one battery that we got so we could have electric fencing for the pigs we had two summers ago. It doesn't work that well now in wintertime so we have to take the battery to the village to charge it now and then. It is only for our gadgets that we need for this vlog. When it's empty we are without electricity. It is like this because we haven't had any money to spend on a better system.
I loved this! Such a lovely couple and love all of your animals. ❤🥰
This lady has a lovely smile. Reminds me of my grandmother, beautiful face.
Hello Tova and Mathias, I just happend to stumble on your blog and I would like first of all to compliment you both on your English and secondly, how lovely your little farm and cabin are. Your cabin looks so homely and is well designed, very compact. You have both put in a lot of work and I am so happy to have found your blog and am looking forward to watching more of your journeys together on your farm. May I wish you both a very happy, blessed, healthy, successful New Year for 2020 Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful location and home, thanks for sharing.......... look forward to following your journey
These videos are STUNNING! Beautifully photographed, very creative. Love your beautiful homestead and all the ways you are living off grid. Watching you from the USA and so grateful you are taking the time and effort to speak English!
It was a real treat seeing a homestead from another nation. Your property and the shown area is simply beautiful. I look forward to seeing your progress.
God bless you and your homestead ! You're both young and healthy , having much to look forward to. I'm old now but I grew up pretty similar to this . It's a lot of work to live off the land but so good for your life and well being ! I can help by subscribing ,,sharing and wishing you a very blessed future . From Tennessee USA
Wonderful tour. Thanks for showing us the lay of the land! Looking forward to more as always.
Im a new CZcamsr and loves vlogging nature and its beauty and its inspiring to see people living more close to the nature.I took my first step too to capture whats around me to feel the freshness around me.best of luck from London ..
Awww,this is what i want in the next five years,i have a house that am finishing slowly not far away from nairobi city,keep the inspiring me guys great work there n i love your home,everything looks nice there especially the chiken
Beautiful couple, so calm, love their amimals, perfect. We have bought our acres in Tasmania & are starting the dream. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much! Wish you luck with your exciting project!
She’s knows English really well. Nice Swedish couple, I hope they last a long time in such a beautiful place
Interesting, admirable and I feel so much respect for your hard work and not an easy life. Your animals look great and happy. Good luck to you!
Very cool and inspirational, thank you!
Hello Tova and Mathias, your blog came up and I enjoyed your tour around Your farm and home. I really love that it is a work in progress with things lying about waiting for the time to be there for you to make. I have watched many CZcams homesteads and things are always so neat and tidy. The buildings get done in but things just appear. You made such a stunning home for 7 years. You are so sensible to do your infrastructure and live in a house that was there until you needed some more space. I look forward to watching more of your life. From Echidna Home Tasmania, Tazzie.
You two seemed a little nervous. You did a great tour and explained everything very well!! I love what you've done with your property and the animals.
It was a very cute nervousness. much rather have this nervousness than pompous pride I see in other channels ^^
@@benda1007 yeah its called being natural and genuine - so nice to see. But a lot of swedes are like that - Inside they arent nervous at all though.
@@subchan6595 ?? are you saying they are alot of Swedes who are genuine or not?
I think they were nervous cuz of speaking english. It can be exhausting sometimes as a non-native speaker
I just loved the outtakes at the end! A truly beautiful video, thank you!
I love your outdoor kitchen, it's so beautiful. Well done, what a lot of hard work already and I look forward to seeing how you progress.
I love the life you have chosen it live. You are more wealthy than most. Enjoy your life, it beats the heck out of most. Take care.
this is what I want, I'm living in the farm also when I'm going back Philippines that's my dream
Talasbuan...what a beautiful homestead you have and thank you for sharing👍🙂.
You are truly bless and we are fortunate to take part of it in every part of the world...again thank you.
Your Home and homestead is beauti-full guys...you are blessed!
Ive been watching your videos and recently subscribed...love them all! My husband and I live quite simply in Alaska and enjoy gardening, hunting and fishing for ourselves. It truly is a blessing to be able to enjoy the simple things God has provided for us.
I love to see more and more people going back to doing things for themselves. You both are great inspiration for those wanting to do so. All your videos are so enjoyable and relaxing...and wonderfully produced. Thanks for all you are sharing! God bless you both 😉
I feel like they had so much fun filming this. The small giggles and smiles here and there :D
This is inspiring. Lovely vision being put into practice. Beautiful to see it all coming together in a sustainable way.
This is so inspiring! I really appreciate the work you've put Into creating this video to share your story with us
Your family, animals and home are adorable, wish you much luck in life.
This is a beautiful place to call home. I absolutely love the simplicity and homeyness of your home.
Absolutely gorgeous inside the cabin. Good luck guys! That is the only good life
Keep on with what you are doing! Thank you for sharing!
I'm spending Xmas alone. Watching your video brought me peaceful company. Greetings from Spain.
Thank you so much Alejandro! We wish you a happy new year!
feliz navidad..and may you're not alone anymore this New Year's Eve?
Feliz Navidad. I just came back frm vacation in Andalus and find that Spanish are nice bunch of people . May u always be happy n blessed.
@@nsaffini1975 you are just jealous? Envious?
Spanish people are happy people. This is their caracter. Everyone has their own problems, even rich cry. No bitternesz for those who are happy. Spanish would say please. Or ad please. But am not Spanish, so you might find me rude. I am. Thank you. I appologize. F*ck off or piss off. Enjoy.
@@nsaffini1975 next time go on your Summer holidays to sunny Croatia you might like it acctually even better there than Spain.
OMG. It is not a home it is a heaven on earth. Always stay blessed and enjoy.
thank you for sharing so amazing you are such hard workers- the country is beautiful
Beautifully made video.
You have a life most people could only ever dream of.
And this is the kind of life I wanted to pursued, a simple life surrounded by nature and beautiful creatures.
All you need is stinking rich parents and huge government grants and you can do it too
Paul D wow u are super idiot.
Your home is quite lovely. Your entire homestead is wonderful, I salute you on all that you have accomplished. I hope to learn so much from you as I start my homesteading journey. God bless from Illinois, USA.
I saw your video for the first time today & really enjoyed it. I'm quite envious of your outdoor kitchen.
Lovely Nature surrounded by you . U r very lucky couples . Have fun that you have your own Nature . I like the dogs , Hens and the Green plants ...
Nice that there is others who also living simple life and respect old traditions. When visiting in Finland You are welcome to our homestead too.
Where in Finland do you residence? :)
@@Talasbuan Yrttimäki is in Yläne 40 minutes driving from Turku. :)
Really neat video. Thank you for sharing. We live off grid in Northern Maine. We are building from the ground up. LOTS of work to do!
I especially liked two things from your video: Dried Nettle for winter chicken feed, and "Earth Fridges".
Just love it, yr Love and dedication EVERYDAY yr Home is a Home. A House is just a foundation ppl build to Stay in, a House ain't a Home unless to Give it yr All and keep it, u both Show it All the way!!!!!🌹🕊🌹
