- We are clearing the forest of dead trees in the second part of my project to build an old-fashioned wood fence from these fallen trees on the property. This week, my wife joined me for a few days, and it's always wonderful to have her here!
Thanks for watching!

Another Italian man in the Alps used a tub like this and made it into a soaking hot tub for outside. He used wood to make it look better. His name is Luca Ventrella and his channel is Luca Ventrella Outdoors. Take a look at how he transformed a tub like this for himself. (Sorry to use another person's channel, but I think you'd like how he did this and it could help inspire you).
For the Bathtub: Garden, upside down for rain-proof storage, a hot-tub, a pond, a water-garden or a water-hole for local wildlife. I especially like the idea of the bathtub being used as a part of your water-purification system for example some reeds planted in it to help purify the water enough for the water to flow back on to the land or into a stream. All of these options can have the edges of the bathtub hidden by your local stone.
Carry on with your most excellent videos and ignore the negative comments!
Good luck from New Zealand.
Thank you so much, really great suggestion to use that tub. I think in the end we will start with herbs, since the majority has decided so and we want the followers to decide, but you have really given me a good idea. Thank you very much 🙏💪🤗
Love to see your wife with you as for the tub Put stones around and make a herb garden you might have to put trellis around the top so the animals don’t eat them I love what you’re doing with your little piece of paradise and your English is fine it’s getting better with every episode take care and be safe ❤ Caz from St Helens England ❤
Make a flower bed,put stones around the tub
Great to see the left arm really becoming the dominant one. Brilliant.
Ciao David, I'm trying to do my best...😎💪 one of the hardest things to change in my head is the position of my body when i work. I tend to always get into a position to work with my right arm, and then often have to reverse everything. I have noticed that the position of the body then triggers all the change on the memory of the movements. Do you think my theory about it is correct?
You are not lazy. You are not slow. Please continue. Good wishes for your health from Turkey.
Hi Armagan yildirim, you're so kind. Thanks for watching from Turkey, I wish you the best 💪🙏
Make a water feature to catch rain water and feed the flowers and plants while you are away.
💪given the drought we have, it's not a bad idea at all
Put some wheels under it and poles and turn it into a wheel barrel to move/collect stones and dirt and wood!
selvaggio, bello e libero!
Eh, not bad, but then I have to find a way to tow it, otherwise I'll lose the second arm too 😂💪
Stack some stones around it and make a beautiful herb/flower garden from it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jaap 🙏I will always work to my best ability 💪
You can plant something or and the future, you will have animals you can use it for water container God bless you guys.
I really appreciate your videos - no, they are not as slick and highly produced nor are they as voyeuristic and passive. And this is why I have come to your videos, and so enjoyed them. I also really appreciate that you are prepared to be vulnerable and voice your love for the environment and your fears. I was really sad to read comments that claimed you were being a bit self riteous - how can you immerse yourself so closely into nature and not fear for hero also love that you don’t pretend to be “superman”…. You do stuff, you get cold, you get sore, you have worries about what to do and how to do it…you just make yourself available to other as yourself. Keep doing what you are doing, I think you and your wife, and your beautiful cabin are awesome! Be really proud of who you and what you are achieving, and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to be real.
Thank you for your wonderful comment, it gives me a lot of strength and encouragement. I've been thinking for a few weeks that sometimes videos get tired because I've seen a drastic drop in views, but this comment of yours encourages me to keep going. Another follower told me I looked terrified, but I didn't want to get this message across. I just wanted to be responsible and make people understand that when you have someone at home waiting for us and a weather alert is issued with possible landslides, it's only right to think about who is waiting for us at home. Grazie Abigail, thanks so so much for your words!😢🤗
Could you maybe make the tub into an outside wood fired bathtub.Don't know if you have any water though but if you do you have a fantastic view over the mountains. I appreciate your channel, keep on👍
I am very happy that you like the channel! Thank you thank you for watching the videos!
At the moment we only have a small stream, so even if it's a beautiful idea, for the panoramic view, I think filling it with water is a bit difficult 💪either way it's a great idea for a second tub, I can always find another one
A goldfish pond👍
Your guys have a beautiful place and a great ideas to make more beautiful, your English is really good you have great skill just need to practice and your multi languages skills will growth right before your own eyes. Love your videos your cabin is so gorges and organic your are really blessed to have opportunities like those that you can enjoy now please keep sharing your journey ! ❤ 🎉👌
Of course, I will continue to share my journey. Yes, you're right, I'm lucky to have such a place, believe me I thank Heaven every day for it. Ciao! ( Elsa was the name of my father's aunt)
Hey man, I just wanted to tell you to keep going with this path you have chosen. There is nothing more awesome than a man on a mission! I watched all your videos in the last few weeks and I am thinking to buy a small piece of property (either in Spain or in Italy) and live life at the pace I choose to.
Peace from Romania!
Hi AJ, I'm very happy that my videos inspire you to find a place to live outdoors too! I will continue with my project, do not doubt it 💪💪😎
Hell buddy, continue the job,, enjoy your life both of you,,, I suggest you to use this tub for this use as now,,,, Let's build a stone base beside the fireplace to storage firewood in cold rainy winter days,,,,,,Good luck,,
Thank you, I will definitely continue the work. The idea of placing a stone base next to the fireplace for wood is not bad at all. Thank you!
Make the outside nice with stones and use it as a planter for herbs like basil... Greetings from Naples Florida!
Hi Randall from Naples Florida, thanks for your opinion 🤗 Plant herbs is a good idea, my wife thinks the same
I go along with everyone else, and suggest to use it as a planter for flowers, herbs etc.
Hi Keith, for now it is the winning idea and certainly, in my opinion, the most useful at the moment 🙏 without taking anything away from all the other suggestions, which I think are beautiful
@@mywildlifeitalia Imagine those herbs with your burgers and sandwiches that your wife makes ...... mmmmmm!
Be yourself!! Don't copy anyone. Tanto amore!
Never! Best wishes 💪😎
In Australia we use old bath tubs as garden beds. Best wishes Julie-Anne
Ciao Julie-Anne, it's the most popular idea, and we like it!
La vecchia vasca la potresti rivestire esternamente con pietre e legno poi all'interno ci puoi mettere fiori e coltivare erbe aromatiche.
Sì, vedo che è l'idea vincente ed è anche una delle idee di mia moglie. Anche se devo dire che il suggerimento di usarla come vasca di recupero dell'acqua piovana non sarebbe male...se piovesse un po' di più😓
Kitchen garden....zia Maria❤
💪😉
@@mywildlifeitalia We're family now 👊😎
Careful with the shoulder/arm. You don't want to develop a cancer from so much pain and overuse. Regarding the tub. It can be the tub in the future to save big money. Covered with wood and stone it can be a water catchment, a garden, covered storage, wood bin, winter ski storage, food storage for chickens/ rabbits, outdoor bath. You can put wheels beneath and tow it to another location on the property. I supported a mailbox in rocky ground by building a stone pile around it like you did with the fence post. Great video. Thanks!
It's me thanking you! Great for the mailbox, a few stones stabilize everything easily. You've given me some good ideas, really, especially that of recovering rainwater, even if the idea of making a small garden for herbs is going down, that of recovering water is not to be discarded at all. Thanks Michael!💪
So glad to see your wife with you in this video! I was thinking maybe you could fill it with rich dirt and put some flowers or vegetables in it to grow a nice small garden. It would have to have some sun for the plants to grow.
It's definitely a great idea, by the way, it's my wife's main idea, even if we didn't anticipate it in the video. In that position she receives sun for half the day, which given the drought could be a good compromise
Se avete l acqua corrente potete far una fontana e rivestirla di sasso 💪💪💪
Avrebbe un'estetica stupenda !
Segui Luca Ventrella ha rivestito una vasca e creato un sistema per scaldare l acqua con il fuoco
Ciao Vinicio, si ho visto cosa ha fatto! Grande!
@@mywildlifeitalia be può essere un idea poi magari puoi svilupparla anche in un altro modo
Assolutamente sì!
Potreste interrarla , coprire i bordi con pietre e fare stagno/ laghetto, in modo che non si veda che era una vecchia vasca
Ottima idea, potrei interrarla lungo il corso del torrente e farne un piccolo bacino di invaso permettendo poi all'acqua di scorrere
I’ve watched all your videos and I wish you all the best with your health. Nice to see your wife with you and it certainly brings more happiness to you. The idea of a stone wall around the tub it’s not bad and maybe you could plant some herbs or flowers near the main entrance? Looking forward to your next video
HI! Thanks for watching my videos! My wife gives me a lot of strength and if I can do what I'm doing, it's thanks to her. The idea of herbs is predominant. While we didn't anticipate it, it was one of my wife's ideas 😉🙏
Love your channel and seeing your progress. Your English is great.
I had a though regarding the tub. Perhaps you could move to a area on the property that has a great view. Elevate it enough that you can create a fire under it and add your local stone around it to allow it to draw a fire. Then attach a water source to it, fill it up with water, start a fire to heat the water and you can both enjoy a bath with a view & some vino! You can both relax after a bards day work together.
You could even build a simple shelter over it for when it rains… looks like you have all the privacy there to carry this idea off. There are remote hotels around the world who offer this type of outdoor bathing experience for their guests.
P.S you are definitely NOT lazy. Please don’t listen to those who are negative and are judging you from their arm chairs, keyboards. Kia Kaha ( stay strong).
Your words are so beautiful, don't worry I don't listen to those lazy armchairs people... lol.😅😎
So, the idea is really beautiful and very choreographic. At the beginning it was also my wife's idea, but we have drought problems in the area, and we could fill it with water, but I think it becomes a little expensive perhaps as a first project. I see that the idea of making it a small garden is popular, for example I had thought of making it a bench. Of course I can always find a second tub😎
@@mywildlifeitalia A garden will be a great idea. look forward to seeing your design. Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the typos in my post to you, just noticed them now. Look forward to your next video. Hope you are enjoying Spring at the cabin. What will be on the grill next? Those Nutella grilled sandwiches looked they were really tasty.
In truth I would like to cook a plate of pasta, I have to work out how to do it 😅
Make mozzarella in the bath tub.
Great video I think you should plant flowers in the tub or a garden stones around. It sounds really nice, or you could make a wooden cover and actually use it to take a bath.
Hi Patt, great ideas and thanks to wrote us. Although I didn't say anything in the video, the idea of making it a small herb garden was also my wife's. But we want to leave the decision up to you, so I see we're on our way to winning the herb garden!
@@mywildlifeitalia 🤠🌺🙏🧑🌾
For the bathtub, either do a planter or cut in half and make an outdoor bench, or a feeder for all the animals you have up there !😊
Nice, so nice the bench idea, really! Even the idea of making it a feeder for animals is not bad at all😎💪💪
The fence adds to the wild, mountain vibe. Thank you for your videos
Thank you for taking the time to look at them, I'm very happy with them. I wanted to use only elements of the place, I want to try to "melt" everything together
Hi guys, great to see your progress!
I’ve seen some stuff online we’re you can turn the tub into a hot tub and purchase a coil that you burn wood around and it heats the water! You can then encase the tub in the beautiful stones and it would blend into the cabin, or grow potatoes in it!
Have fun and keep smiling!
😊
Do not doubt, I will continue to smile. They are two nice ideas, my wife doesn't mind the tub one in a relaxation perspective 😅, but making a small garden out of it wouldn't be bad either
Yes use it as a planter box. Plant flowers or leafy greens to eat. It would be easy to cover to keep out the critters. Things are starting to look more home like. Nice job!
Excellent idea, it is the idea that is winning among all the comments, to make it a small herb garden. Yep, it's starting to feel more like home around here...hope to do even better 😉💪
If you were thinking about re-building the stone wall behind the cottage, the bath could go behind the wall. You could use it as a herb garden then, close to the cottage. It could even have a small mesh fence around it to protect them from the beautiful local animals. As for the haters from your last video, listen to your body (and what it needs) not them. In bocca al lupo. Donna (Adelaide, Australia)
Hi Donna from Australia! Close to the cottage it's a position we were also considering, we see the "herbs little garden idea" is winning for the moment. Thanks so much for watching!
Why dont you make a small green house off the side of your cabin then you can grow vegetables or herbs in the tub all year round ... also allows you to make compost of any food scraps or vegetation .. you can hide the tub looks by making a hole in the soil so you can only see the top of the tub or if you want it free standing then make a stone surround to make it look natural !
Excellent idea, among other things it is the most commented. Covering it with stone around it will certainly help to integrate it into the cabin
Alla fine not e stata decisione cattiva tua moglie di portare Nutella, così dopo che sei stanco ti dà la forza! 😃
Vasca da bagno... Hmm, potrebbe essere bella per farsi bagnetto in estate con la moglie, ma se non hai l'acqua corrente e inutile. Puoi usarla come storage, come lo fai, o girarla da una parte e farla mobiletto per certi così, ma in questo caso occuperà solo troppo spazio dentro casa. Non va bene comunque di raccogliere l'acqua piovana perché sarà solo buona vasca per le zanzare. Non saprei, e utile solo per mucche per bere l'acqua. 😉
Per dare da mangiare ai cervi magari? 😉
Potresti fare una fioriera rosmarino ..e tingerla ciao Ale
Ciao Ale, è una delle idee di mia moglie, metterci le aromatiche
Plant inside flowers or some vegetables.....
or herbs? Maybe?
Why not raise the tub and burn wood below it use as a hot tub
Very nice and comfortable idea, but I would see it as a waste of water at the moment, since I haven't canalized the source yet
Or maybe a herb garden in it🤷
Aromatic herbs maybe
You're English is fine. The more you speak a language, the more fluent you will become.
Yes, right, I need to speak again again...😉😅 Thanks Gil!
Hellow to my Dear, Alpine Frends! 🌮🍔🥪 It is good to see you, in the good company of your wife at your Stone Alpine Cabin, (I love the Woolf Pic, and all the rest of Good's marvellous Creatures, grt footage..♥) And do not worry abaut your english pronunciation man, it's just European English..😂Just like the American or Scottish 🤣I understad you both perfectly. I think that the Steel Bath tub will deteriorate after a wile and become ugly, I think that a 'big bolder' carved out in the middel, or a stown sorrounded wall bowl, wood make a better water vessel for decoration than'a Steel tub youse the tub for a flower vessel... And keep it'in with the 'Stone theme' for long term Endurance. (Greetings form Julian your ''Spanish Iberian'' frend in Britain.🐾 🐳🐞)
Hi Julian! LOL for my European English. I'm glad you like the video, but most importantly, that you understand my Italianized English :) The bathtub has been out there since around 1960, maybe it can make it another year. Anyway, thanks for the advice, it's always highly appreciated!
E un bellissimo cottage in pietra .....Vai avanti !!!🐎👍🐎
Certo, avanti! Sempre!💪
