Tova is so cheerful, sweet and strong. Lovely person.
Aww, thank you so much! /Tova
up to this point, ive ardently watched your daily successes and struggles. no matter what you two do, i always find myself in admiration of your work - creativity in filming, desire for cooking hearty meals, tending to your animals, determination in building with your own hands, enthusiasm to keep learning, the honest and gentle way you communicate to us and each other and most of all, the passion you both have for the daily activities you do bring forth light which bounces off the screen. i guess living a lifestyle you both desire has given you genuine happiness. do continue persevering, it's admirable and lovely to witness!! im so pleased to have found your channel. it's inspiring. you both have lovely personalities. thank you for sharing your lives Tova and Mathias. :)
Gelatinous?! You know some good words, don't you, Matthias? That is not a word that many Brits would ever use. By the way, two quotes of yours that I remember, 'we don't know what we are doing, but we do it anyway' and,'there's always going to be something to do' are marvelous and display an excellent command of the wonderful English tense system. Quite good philosophy, too!
His English is AWESOME !!
I live in Austin, home of Franklin BBQ and was pleased to see you referencing their book. People here line up at 6am in the morning at Franklin's, which opens at 11am, and purchase amounts are limited. Though we have many excellent BBQ restaurant's here, Franklin's is considered the best. It certainly is my favorite. They specialize in beef brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, bbq turkey breast and sausage(beef and pork). By the way, I am a big fan of your vlog. Keep up the good work!
The hen getting in the kitchen makes me laugh ! You don't know what can happen to you in this place girl ! ^^
You folks are the real deal. Was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Guy just buy by
I don't know how to explain it, but you have added a joy to my life that I would have never dreamed possible to come from a CZcams channel. I have binge watched and rewatched and each time I see something new. Beautifully, BEAUTIFULLY done!
❤❤❤
Don't think about things you didn't get done, be glad for the things you got done. Hope all is well. Vlog is looking good.
You are absolutely right, have to think like that instead! Have a lovely weekend!
You cook like a master chef 👨🍳
Another beautiful production. Thank you for taking the time to share your lives.
Thank you! Im glad you are liking it!
We always think of the challenges ahead...sometimes forgetting how much we have already managed to accomplish...But in the words of Farmer Mathias...There’s always something to do....something to learn.
PS: I love how the cats are always in the thick of things...they follow you around like dogs.
Really enjoy watching everything the two of you do.
Thank you Diane!
Cooking is like making a painting , just improvise !
my grandfather lived by the sea and had a fish and chip cafe, so he also had a smoking house and i LOVED the smell of that smokehouse because of all the fish he smoked in it...not a smell that i can find anymore with all the highly produced food nowadays...i love watching you both preparing slow cooked food, thank you for sharing your lives with us
Wish they would have had CZcams when I was a young man, I sure could have used some patrons. Me and my wife worked full time and all night with generators and lights. We built our own place from the soil up. We disasembled a lot of sheds to get the lumber. Took us 4 years but we did it. And had 3 kids
What a lovely couple, you are.👍💖🏡
I love your watching your channel. Your honesty and humor. Congratulations on finishing your schooling. Pulled pork looked and I’m sure tasted great. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. So much to do but so fulfilling when you complete your projects. Stay safe and be well.
Another wonderful peek into your everyday life! Thank you!
Thank you for watching it!
I'll be very glad when you are able to share more videos with us. I very much enjoy seeing the progress you make in all your many interesting projects and challenges and hope you stay well, happy and content.
Thank you so much, so fun to hear! Have a happy week!
Hearing the tractor run reminds me of my child hood on my grandpàrents homestead. 😊
Ahhhh wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to smell it through our screens...
I come across ur chanel last week was very happy to see u guys i also bought myself a pice of land in South Africa in kwazulu natal hoping to live like u guys im happy to see u
I have just joined to your channel recently, I can confirm that I am totally addicted to you guys! You are such a wonderful people, the place where you live is like a dream! I am wishing all the best for you, and I will stay a loyal follower of your channel.
Big love from a Hungarian lady, who also very happy that you were using Hungarian paprika🥰❤️
Absolutely a wonderful life choice: fulfilling, honest, respectful and fun !
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL VLOG! Btw, you can slice up cabbage with a meat slicer. 😃😃😃. Love y’all 💕
Smoked and grilled meats are huge in the U.S., especially in the S.E. region. We have a combination grill and smoker. My husband recently smoked a spatchcocked turkey, and it was divine. You won't be sorry when you get one! There's a restaurant in our area that puts peanuts in their coleslaw. It may sound odd, but it's a wonderful addition.
Another wonderful episode.
In the States, we too call that a picnic roast. If you're thinking about a smoker, starting small with a home made barrel smoker, aka drum smoker, aka UDS (ugly drum smoker) will get you in the game, at a very low investment. If built nice and tight, it can be made to hold temperature for an extended duration, with little fuel (wood) and attention. I have the Weber Smokey Mountain 18", it's a nice unit, easy touse andbig enough to cook lots of food. Eventually, you can build a larger unit. Once hooked, no BBQ lover settles for only one smoker. It's like axes, you can never have too many;>)
So calming watching your videos - even though I think you both work incredibly hard! Stay safe. Your hard work will pay off! Very inspirational. Thank-you.
Each vlog just gets better and better.
You two are just great! So mellow that it's very zen to watch your vlogs
Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome. I’m really excited because I just recently found you so I’m going to binge watch all your vlogs this weekend while it rains outside
I have eaten in some of the best restaurants in NY san francisco and Los Angeles and Matthias and Tova could cook for me any time
Absolutely love the quietness and beauty of your lives, incredibly inspiring. Love from Canada🇨🇦
Those long pauses between sentences.. both of you radiant with such understated modesty, drifting from one rich lensfull
to the following just as full of striking seasonal tones, finishing each others sentences...damn, you two are busting me up ! Im learning much from you about 'self', & Ill be trying to rebuild who ive been..into a fuller person. Thanks so much !
What a heartwarming comment! Thank you :)
Oh if only we were closer, we have sheep fencing that has been sitting here for a few years and would gladly give it to you. The pulled pork looked delicious and I sure wish we could have smelled it. Tonight we're having oven roasted pork ribs, coleslaw and asparagus for supper. Looking forward to seeing your work on the house and in good time it will be finished. Thanks for sharing your life story with us, you're very blessed to live as you do, even though there are still monetary worries, often. Our prayers are lifting for you in Montana, USA
That would have been lovely! That dinner sounded real good, love boiled asparagus with salt and butter. Thank you so much, hope you are well!
Wow, the last two vlogs have lovely drone footage. Brilliant edits too. The pictures and sounds create something more than the sum of the parts. Magic.
Congratulations!
You guys do a great job. We sure enjoy your videos 👍👍
Another fun video!
The end was priceless!! :)
My sister moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the last couple years and one of these days, when we go to visit her, we would like to go to his BBQ restaurant in Charleston! Some day after Covid.
it will be easy to build your bbq device. you both are so young as your wife says 10 year plans....lol that was a great interjection at the perfect point. I find your channel to be so soothing and enjoyable. I watched people build a typical Finnish log cabin and they put moss and some grasses but mainly moss they picked from the forest between the logs for insulating property and a very thick layer of sand on the ground beneath the cabin before they put in the floor. in the attic portion they put in sand and sawdust mixture for insulation. I would never think of the sand below and above in the attic but the attic sand was mixed with sawdust. hope this will help with some of your planning....from Laurens, South Carolina, USA. the builders cut the excess that overhangs and it goes back in the basket of moss and grasses for the next row of insulation between the logs.
Thank you guys, so much inspiring stuff there again. I can’t help myself but I found it funny when you Tova were making little jokes now and then and also in the end of the vlog and Mathias was just like a serious rock there. Just hilarious cause I found myself making comic and my hubby watching me like I’m some kind of weird clown. So thanks for that too. - Tessa
Haha, glad we can bring some joy ;D
For me it's so especially to look your Videos, but for you it's "just" the Daily life! You bot have an amazing charisma! :)
Dear greetings from Germany :)*
You really are incredible Mattias. Your timber-working skills are so impressive.
enjoy watching the two of you.
Thank you Freddy!
Hello there from Maine....Another great video. Stay happy and healthy, Liuba
Your fire rocked it
Thanks a million
All the best
Thank you!
The typical mixture of pride and annoyance when you have smart animals 🤣
We call it the foyer❤️awesome video
Wow. Love the rabbits. What bread? Great outdoor kitchen. Dinner looks awesome. New sub. Thanks for sharing. Excited to see more. Have a fantastic night you two..!!
Its a swedish heritage breed called Gotlandskanin, a bit smaller but more sturdy maybe. Thank you so much and the same to you!
Skål...great video min venn 🐾🐺🐾
I'm glad I can't smell your cooking dinner. My stomach would probably GROWL for a week!
My mouth is watering just watching you cook.
Then we succeeded :D
Love this couple. An American in cold Maine enjoying this setting.
LOVE your vids
Thank you so much Darrin!
Love the music🎻
I know what you mean about the fencing. It is expensive so we do it in manageable paddocks. Having help is always wonderful as long as you can work together with not too many bosses.
Hi All , you used Hungarian spices and now you have a New Hungarian viewer😊 Greetings from lockdown in Hungary 2021 and happy new year! 🎆
i saw your vlog on my recommended list. i'm trying to look at all the episodes to catch up. fabulous camera work and farming skills. even though i am the polar opposite of your lifestyle, i find it fascinating! bonne continuation and i will comment further with my observations. cheers!
I PROUD OF YOU MATHIAS FOR YOUR EDUCATION 🌞🌞🌞
Mmmmm, Your pulled pork recipes must be added to these Vlogs, hehe. I agree with Tova about the taste TV, yum yum. I wondered if you do anything like at the farm gate sales or sales from your Fäbod. Both of you make so many wonderful things that everyone would buy here. Tova's coleslaw would be a hit here, people would love to buy it. A friend here sells dinners at their farm from meat from their animals, it's usually an outside affair with everyone seated at a great big wooden table, candles, water glasses, a simple meal with story telling. You have a wonderful location as they do, for such dinners. I look forward to seeing how you both market your wealth of skills.
Your evening meal looks wholesome.
I love how your families come to help you both with your goals, It's the same here with my family. Your Brother and Father are super skilled and helpful.
The log work is always wonderful to follow along with in my downtime as dinner cooks here, it's coming together.
Have a lovely time, whatever you're up too.
Great job on pulled pork love your videos
great projects
I love your outdoor kitchen ! The more I see your place the more I get inspired to get one like yours for me. Living in Sweden seems to be so much nicer !
The sauce seems good , finger leaking good ! ^^ Your all cuisine is making me hungry ! ^^
We love it too, and so does our chickens ;D I guess we drop a lot of things for them to eat! Sweden is nice in many ways but i do think the countryside in France can be very nice too! I would love to have the foodmarkets you have down there, with veggies, bread, cheese, flowers and meat, how lovely it would be. But maybe im romantizing the whole thing !
Franklin Barbecue is great barbecue! Austin, Texas ❤️
Pulled pork looks very good. Enjoyed the video
Thank you Kurt!
You have a very nice place, you two are a loving couple and I think you were wise in your choice of each other, and you place the near same importance in the way you are establishing your Homestead with the traditional ways, doing things as you can and building yourselves a more convenient home. Sometimes it seems like you are sad because you cannot obtain all of what you want when you want it, but it is the same for a lot of people life is a struggle but when you want something bad enough you will get it, but the journey if it is too easy you will not appreciate it as much, I think you are doing a very good job at it, keep up the good work. I really like those homemade big log wood handle hammers those look so neat and you have different ones for different jobs, that is so cool! And you can get a file, a hone or other tools to sharpen the slicer cutter wheel best to see if you can find the manufacturer and how they recommend to sharpen the cutter wheel because of the material the manufacturer selected he would know best how the best and easiest method to maintain the cutting edge. Whatever method do it carefully they are sharp, here most cutters are operated with electric motors and the cutter is a disc with no teeth and they can be sharpened in place with a tool that hones the edge to 'dress' it up. You guys are very interesting to watch your progress.
Congratulations Mathias to your education and finishing school. Well done! :) Taste TV.. again.. LOL.. Going camping in Jämtland/Härjedalen in August, maybe i will sniff something good in the air when on the road trough Jämtland! :) If i sniff something tasty i will think of you guys and say its Tova and Mathias cooking! Hope you will find time to work on your house, you should fix a logging party and invite loggers from around the world! :) Thanx for yet a great vlog. Scenery is amazing!
Ohh a logging party, sounds crazy ;D Where are you heading at your camping trip? :) Thank you so much!
@@Talasbuan Going from Hälsingland, up to Ytterhogdal, then i am going to travel Ångermanland and then through Jämtland and hopefully end up in Vålådalen. Just to be out and about. Haven't spend so much time in Ångermanland so now i thought its time. Jämtland is a favorite and i just love Vålådalen and its surrondings, like Handöl. :)
And here I sit with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich drooling over your bar b que!
That pulled pork looked sooo good
You are my kind of cooks. 'Not sure what this spice is but throw it in and we will find out.'
THEY CALL IT SMELL O VISION IT TASTE GREAT I NEED A KITCHEN LIKE THE ONE YOU GUYS HAVE GREAT IDEA
Love pico de gallo 💖💖💖 much love
I just really really like these videos and country life in general, and I wish I had a similar audience for my cooking channel, cause the support and comments from your followers is awesome :) Keep it up! Greetings from Canada
I don’t think you like the term mud room. Basically what it means is when you come into the home. Take your “muddy” shoes off in the mud room. Once they dry they can be cleaned off. Sometimes there is a sink in the room too. And hooks for coats or jackets. It’s a very helpful room and it isn’t full of mud like the name makes it sound. I love watching your vlogs. Thank you!
Can you explain a bit about the education that you've just finished because it sounds really exciting !
Education is the key to everything ! 👍👍👍
I have eaten at Franklyn BBQ hands down the best. My husband. Started using his method It works .
Smokers are great, always soak your wood chips in good clean water for good clean smoke. Do you have hickory trees? Hickory chips are so good for smoking. Smoked pork chops and eggs, plus biscuits hot from the oven, great breakfast. 😉
I’m really enjoying watching, thanks for sharing......
Thank you Cathy!
This is an older video so i am not sure you will see this comment but for safety's sake the you should always lock the elbow of the arm with which you are holding the top handle of the chainsaw. This will prevent you from taking the saw in the face if you get kickback. Beautiful filming !
I forget what this structure is going to be for?
Great video
Thanks
Its gonna be the new "farstu" (front room, foyer, mudroom etc), we build it on the ground and then move it and attach it to the house :)
The one is called a cold smoker cooks very low heat 180-200f the other is a Bar BQ with with smoke with regular temperatures just a lot of smoke for flavor. You could cook for me any day
How do you get internet off-grid? :)
Also, as a Texan, I think it’s super cool that you are using a Texan cookbook in the Swedish wilderness. 🤘🏻
I agree, I was floored to see Matthias pull out Franklin's book in Swedish. I think he would like Franklin's television show called BBQ with Franklin on the United States public broadcasting channel. Who knows maybe he can watch it on pbs.org in Sweden on his cell phone.
Thyme and oregano are not spices, they are herbs! Please don't take this as a negative comment... far from it, since I called them spices for ages myself! I am just saying!
I just love your videos! I love your lifestyle and all the beautiful places that surround you. I won't swap places with you in a second 🤣
Since I can't do that right now, I am just enjoying watching you guys. Keep up the good work!!!! We love you 💗
Hehe! For this discussion of semantics to work, we need to agree on definitions :)
Love the coleslaw, nice vlog
Thank you Summer! How do you make your coleslaw? :)
I sometimes add celery seeds, Tovah
you should get into slaw making with the special cutter at home.i saw you made something like cheesy coleslaw with carrots🥕.
I’m still catching up on your Vlogs and may have missed in the past if there is a comment, but have you considered a recipe book to sell? There have been so many things you’ve made like a meat dish with a creamy sauce that looked so good. And in another video you poured a cup of tea, what kind of tea? Simple things like this in your book with photos of your homestead. Yes, I would be the first to buy it!! Thank you for your time. Just splendid.
That is a great idea! We have some thoughts about making a nook of some kind. We'll see when that will happen :)
thanks for sharing. a suggestion, you should shorten your videos that way you can make more of them.dont get me wrong i love the long videos but it just may help out your view count ect earning you more money. I promise you should film more stuff even if you think its boring chances are it is very entertaining to us, your followers. You guys are amazing thank you for sharing and take care of each other.
Yes we know, but its so hard sometimes to make them shorter when all the material are connected, hard to find a place to divide the content in a good way, but we will try ;) Thank you so much Cory!
You are very kind to be thinking of how to help them. You may be interested to know that there is a Canadian who is also building off grid. His videos are the same length or longer. He is closing in on 1 million subscribers.
When you have such excellent content as Talasbuan, the length is icing on the cake. It gives people time to relax into the experience.
With that said, if they needed to shorten them for their own reasons, I would fully support their decision and be happy with whatever they could manage.
This is my favorite vlog!Thank you!Congratulations for the nice recipe of pulled pork,it is good that you love also cast iron pots..because there are the best!I have a similar cast iron object..and i will try also this recipeWhat are you construct with this nice wood?..a room ?..i didnot understand
Hello Marta, Thank you so much! Iron pots are the best, you are totally right! We are making the front room to the house, we have more room to build here, then we gonna move it and fasten it to the house! Have a lovely sunday!
Thank you for another wonderful video. Your drone photography certainly adds to the feeling of what your little farm is like; it gives us an idea of how things are laid out. Your log work is fantastic-such tight joints. Do you add moss for chinking? Are you building the entry/ windbreak separately from the house and then assemble it again at the house? I wasn’t clear about that. Beste Hilsen fra Alaska!
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, we will add moss between the logs when we build it up in the right place. Yes, it is more room to build where it is now instead of in front of the house. There's other reasons as well but it is easier for me ro explain in a video so I will do that in the next vlog :) /Mathias
Good afternoon watching your from japan
Very interesting. Another homesteader I follow, who's in Arkansas, USA built a brick oven. I am very interested to see whether you build a smoker/barbeque/brick oven. I am working my way through your play list so I'm on on 2019 so far... :)
great vlog again, have a great time with your family javvi, and congrats with your student ! (do i say that right? haha...my eldest daughter had "studenten" too this year )
Thank you and congratulations to your daughter!
Well done on your charcuterie graduation 😀
So, is it just in Scandinavian DNA that you know how to work with wood so beautifully, or did you have to train somewhere?
Cute couple!
the pork crust is called crackling its wonderfull to eat
That looks so yummy
I LOVE PICO DE GALO
I really enjoy watching. I also have chickens from around the world and live in Labrador's coast. Also harsh weather.
