Your film work & editing with the music pieces are stellar. You are satisfied and content. No money can buy that. Thank You for taking us along.

[@smthngsmthngsmthngdarkside]

Actually money is buying that. Thanks YourMum89 for subscribing. Otherwise he's back to work in the place that's not here making KZbin videos

[@joycegronenthal2560]

Gosh it seems like the video was so short. I could watch you all day. Beautiful video, thank you Martijn

[@erikowren7894]

Very well said😊

[@jaakarhut3240]

I would love to know where Martijn get's the music for these videos and who composed them. Sounds like real string instruments, but if that's just a VST instrument I would buy the library immediately. And also, this episode's editing/filming/music was exceptionally beautiful!

[@johnskelhead]

@@jaakarhut3240 Yes!!! Thank you for your comment. The drone footage & Music together are such a blessing!

[@TheSkarabeush]

The transition from no snow to snow on the cabins was awesome.

[@youngtimerdriver]

A home brewed cup of Ethiopian blend coffee, sat comfortably in my sofa, my german pointer glued to me as it is our last day on earth, fireplace warming up those first snowing days we just got in Como lake, notification popping up, a new video from my favorite channel on KZbin. My weekly dose of pure dopamine. If I was a cat I would purr. Let’s all appreciate the magistral work of a KZbinr that never needs to beg for comment or suggest you to subscribe or activate the notification bell, in the name of keeping it real and authentic. And that weekly editing is at the same level of the work on the 2 cabins. Massive thanks Martijn.

[@strawberrypatch]

“If I was a cat I would purr.” 😻 I felt that 😽

[@sydneyevans2637]

You don't have to be a cat to purr. You can mimic the sound, it's very pleasing. I think it's kind of like chanting. Enjoy the moment whatever time it is where you are.

[@tulipan16]

You describe it perfectly. His videos are like art, beautiful, calm. He is hard worked

[@andrewcolquhoun4007]

What was the music?……….yes winter logs are a summer time activity,we work 1year ahead with Oak logs which we buy in but we scavenge the woods nearby for fallen branches and twigs to start the fire.thanks for your videeo

[@gkopij]

Nicely said.😂❤

[@friendshipforever12]

Healing through simplicity, excellence in execution and nature - that’s what the world needs more than ever. Very close to spirituality. Bedankt Martijn.

[@deannagentleman1140]

Hearing that wind makes me think about your days in the tent ⛺️ I am so happy you have a warm and cozy place!

[@markseager5177]

I don't know if I've ever witnessed someone say so much by saying so little. Martjin is a master visual storyteller. Dare I say genius?

[@PaulineBennett-t3t]

This is what I love about it as well, so calming to watch yet so much to absorb and appreciate

[@Susan-f4g]

Ditto!

[@killallfornothing]

Because part of that story is shared dream about escaping what is inside everybody.

[@cbraunc]

💯

[@suzanthrasher2447]

I believe this is my favorite of them all, so far. Thank you for the gift of allowing the silences to speak in the beauty of creation and the blessings of consistent labor followed by rest and refreshment to renew the mind, body and spirit. Your creative artistry is masterful… I’ve seen every episode and receive every one as a priceless gift of the week. Blessings, dear man, and thank you once again.

[@carenclemmons5002]

I, too, concur.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

BLESSING TO YOU MY CHILD. 🙏

[@JeanMarc2508]

I cannot say what I prefer in this video : everything is so beautiful ! A pure 33 minutes of admiration and joy l Every second is a pure delight. Thank you, Martijn !

[@am-i-co7125]

everything is too beautiful:))

[@rifka805]

Well said!!!

[@lelandpeck4585]

Thanks so much, Martijn for the visual poetry. Loved watching you travel on the mountain roads with the drone flying high above. I loved the transition from no snow to snow. That was magical photography. I too love the way you go about and you don't need to say a word. You let the photography tell the story. Amazing!

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Wow.... What a "rustige" video. Everything so nice, relaxed, old Cockerel shaking his feathers, the Landy purring away, the drone, the music... I don't know why we all comment, as we all feel the same, some just better with words than me... Ditto, ditto, ditto... What more can anyone say.. Thank you, Martijn... 🤝🏻🇿🇦

[@saraf9883]

Well said 😂!

[@martinazeichart]

Dear Martijn, this video showed a lot of depth of the soul of nature and you, at least that's how I felt. Not like depression, more like hibernation, which is necessary to find peace. From min.: 26 the music made you feel this love from the bottom of your heart. Rest within yourself and embrace nature as it rests within itself. She is who she is, so she takes you as you are. A truly devotional video. Thank you very much for the impressions that Mother Nature gave us. For you and for me and every person. Stay protected. 💫🤝💫 Ps.Take good care of your chickens.❤🙏❤

[@tutor2u-official]

Another beautiful episode. Martijn, you film work is exceptional. Exquisite. 30+ minutes every week that allows us all to step away from the noise of normal life and immerse ourselves in your patient and skilled work. Thank you.

[@user-ug9dy6hn2j]

The cinematography is amazing as always. I can not wait for more winter shots.

[@andrewjones-productions]

I respect a person like Martijn, who in this modern age, is able to live with the seasons and not succumb to fighting them as so many of us do. As Martijn said, winter slows things down and that is a good thing and probably what it is intended to do.

[@Susan-f4g]

I’m a Michigander. We appreciate our Four seasons,too.

[@alessandradorazio5728]

Nelle riprese iniziali sulla mensola la scatola di latta dei biscotti Mellin, mi ha riportato indietro nel tempo! Quanta cura e ricerca nelle inquadrature, nulla è casuale, solo tanta bellezza che nutre l' anima e dà un significato speciale a ciò che si guarda, grazie !

[@berone1642]

The authenticity and the simplicity of these videos are just outstanding! always a pleasure to watch them

[@LucaEche7]

man this is better than a movie, so well edited, i love your videos

[@tonitemperance9960]

I hope that lively river, is a great swimming hole in Summer ☀️ Absolutely stunning vistas, peaceful energy and Natures graces at play ❤ Gratitude Martijn 🙏

[@aspasiabibas1819]

Martijn I have to say I never want your episodes to end - that's because your videos are so well done, professional. And I should add also the music in this video is perfect for the scene or story you want to tell.

[@saraf9883]

I thought 💭 the music was 😢 sad, also beautiful, but maybe that was the intent …

[@romananicolini5306]

Ciao Martijn, non mi perdo neanche un video,ogni domenica ho appuntamento con la pace,la serenità e le emozioni che regali. La neve che cade,la musica che accompagna le immagini che ci invii è emozionante,coinvolgente,scende dentro nel cuore e ci resta. Grazie Martijn,al prossimo video,un abbraccio❤❤❤

[@jannybranciforte9295]

Martijin, I’ve watched every exquisite, magnificent episode, and this one spoke to me like no other. You are showing me how to be complete in my own passion and to let go of wasted energies in things that don’t matter, and to love the gifts I’ve been given and to fully embrace them with my love of solitude. The pressure to be social for the sake of being social has robbed me of much precious time. Your hard work, incredible vision, artistry and EQUANIMITY are leading the way for me to not be afraid of letting go in various aspects of my life. Thank you from my art heart to yours. You are a masterpiece that is showing us how to really fully live, UNAFRAID.

[@dyer2cycle]

Any episode that includes a visit with Johannes is a good episode...

[@sharonmcanoe]

Thank you Martijn for your fabulous cinematography. It is something I look forward to every episode,which calms me in my life which has been turned upside down with the passing of my dad. He would have loved this series ❤❤

[@jamesfirth4168]

I think this was me a year ago. My Dad passed away in 2023 and again these videos/short film were such a comfort. Thanks Martijn, you’re an excellent film maker. You’re like a long form documentarian.

[@saraf9883]

Peace 🕊️ and comfort for your loss ❤😌

[@ElizabethHageman-b7q]

Another lovely vlog and it’s always good to see Johannes.

[@andredutoit1131]

WoW! This video was AMAZING, Martijn 😮. The change in the weather and your ability to capture this for your audience, is much appreciated. And that Cello (a middle pitched bowed (sometimes plucked and occasionally hit) string instrument of the violin family) playing in the background, increases the surreal atmosphere of your picture perfect surroundings ❤. Stay safe and warm. Until next week xxx

[@АнастасияЗалиско-о8й]

What a great silence and scenery! Martijn, your work under the clouds is incredibly positive! Thanks for the video 👍😍

[@AsteriETERNAL]

I love the way you meticulously care for your investments -shoes, tools...👍🏻😉

[@Philanderthal]

Thanks for another special share Martijn.....so much reminds me when my young wife and I ( I was 25) had our first house in Lake Tahoe on Flick Street in Carnelian Bay....a 1920's summer cabin that we bought, and updated somewhat and heated with an Ashley wood stove....that was is it.....slept with windows open at night even in February......it got so warm.....but special times.....simple..... free......going to get wood and then cutting it and splitting it, stacking it.....life was full with the simple tasks needed to simply survive, love each other and just be.......I have learned that life is not about "doing' anything but simply being....as in the moment....

[@ellendoyle1957]

The scene over the clouds looked like the sea. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@sydneyevans2637]

For me, too.

[@mm6643]

So, so beautiful!!! Something about the mountains makes my heart swell. 🥰 You do such an amazing job at capturing all this goodness Martijn. The scenery. The music. Your soothing voice. All of this is my weekly therapy. Thank you so much. 🤗

[@davidoff59]

Nature is healing for the mind body and soul. But we are herded into cities with constant noise 24/7 where the mind can never truly rest so it can't heal and nor can your body. If you've ever been wild camping and been startled awake by a branch snapping or footsteps of some kind, it has a different impact you'll notice. It's not as jarring as someone waking you from a deep sleep. I think that's why Martin has such a loyal following that admire his journey, many of us long for this lifestyle but don't yet have the opportunity to escape. Italy is a truly magical place also, refreshing and relaxing. I've travelled extensively but have never experienced anything like Italy and the ability to do plenty but still return home feeling fully refreshed. I will return one day, hopefully on a permanent basis

[@TheMollyisagoodgirl]

Thank you, Martjin! I had an old cottage on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, Keats Island, and I renovated it over a couple of years. You take me back to those days, in the early '90s. I can relate to you on so many levels: the satisfaction of lovingly fixing up an old place and the enjoyment of making oneself a lovely meal and having a glass of wine at the end of a productive day in a beautiful place, especially in winter. You make my heart sing.

[@small.wanders]

It’s so beautiful seeing the seasons change through these videos, and makes me ache for a real winter (I’m in Brisbane, Australia). Every week these videos, with their pace, aesthetic, and story-telling, bring me such peace. What a gift 🕯️✨😇

[@bradprince1854]

Judah Earl’s Sand Drawing. Lovely piece of music. Thanks for sharing.

[@gwenfowler1826]

I know winter has to come and I enjoy seeing the snow but oh so cold. Your place looks so comfortable and homey. I love how you want things to look nice. Take care and stay warm. ❤️

[@garyjones2582]

I don't know how many of the comments that you actually have time to read, but I love watching your videos.. So relaxing.. If I see snow in pics or videos that's good enough for me, I saw plenty of it while stationed in Alaska.. it was on the ground 9 months of the year.. Stay warm and I'll see you next week... God Bless and take care my friend....

[@rborsato]

Wat een prachtige video's maak je @martijndoolaard! Het is iedere keer een rustgevende documentaire die ik iedere zondag mag bekijken. Grazie di cuore! 🇮🇹🇱🇺

[@kinkan-b3h]

The mountain top scenes were amazing This is a different kind of glow to the stars in the night sky, a glimmer on a clear day before the real winter mountain begins The color is amazing Silvery mountain top🤩 It shines in an indescribable grey colour I've never seen before, it looks like a crown 🤔 It's truly beautiful 🤍✨😽

[@marydonofrio8116]

The boy that harvested the wind...great movie. In some ways, you are like him Martijn...probably why I ❤️ watching and learning from you.

[@deborahevans4811]

Thanks for naming the movie!

[@sherry2836]

The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. I was wondering what movie that was. Time for Netflix.

[@MuirWoods111]

The waterfall under the bridge was beautiful, as was wthe moon at the top of the swaying trees. You are really amazing! Even cold and snow doesn’t slow you down. You’re my hero! Blessings!

[@Sonja-65]

Oh wow the sea of clouds is spectacular. 😲

[@michaelallen2296]

Martin you are class in what you do and provide for us viewers it’s a privilege to watch

[@nancybarnett7406]

Feeling the warmth of the fire and seeing the mountains. What joy!

[@naomijansen9544]

You teach and remind us a lot about the eb and flows of life, Martijn. Thanks

[@elainelear4982]

Thank you for the beautiful scenery today. The mountains, the fall color, the low clouds.

[@saraf9883]

And the creek!

[@hilliebruinsma8420]

I enjoy looking at your video's every week and learn from you as a woman who want to renovate the utility room so thank you for sharing so relaxing on a sunday

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

This is the tonic I needed! Johannes, the chickens, that truck. We had to put down my cat this week and my truck sits on a job site where the radiator broke minutes after the vet. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing

[@dottiebaker6623]

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Almost a year ago I unexpectedly had to put down my dog, and it's still hard to see dogs interacting with their owners.... At least you can fix the truck. And watching Martijn's videos helps too.

[@saraf9883]

I’m sorry about your cat loss, too. My picture is my cat that I had to have put to sleep I still miss him every day. May you find peace and comfort, your baby is still with you in spirit

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

@ thank you! I hope you have a great thanksgiving weekend.

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

@ thank you. They certainly seem like a main ingredient to a balanced home. Her brother alive and well and getting lots of attention. Happy thanksgiving!

[@blanchjoe1481]

Dear Martijn, The oddity of our time and place is encapsulated by a man homesteading in the middle of the Italian Alps, away from everything, weekly discussing his day to day comings and goings with millions of avidly interested individuals from all over the world, is not lost on me.

[@caiphus08]

Is this a movie or what? I'm enjoying so much cinematic viewing pleasure that you're able to capture so effortlessly, I mean I know it takes a lot of effort to produce these videos but you're so good at it Martijn Its so artistic. These videos are my escape

[@dottiebaker6623]

I was struck by how it took climbing down and up, twice, to get that fabulous shot from the stream bed up to the Land Rover crossing the half moon bridge.

[@cephalopodx7587]

Watching you polish your boots brought me back to my childhood and watching my father polish his. What a wonderful memory. Thank you.

[@threedoodles]

Ah me too, my father used to polish our shoes when we were little. I used to polish my brother's football boots (not sure he fully appreciated it lol).

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

My dad used to line up our shoes every morning and polish them all. Memories that never leave us.

[@comix5281]

I also remembered my father lining up our shoes to polish them. Thank you for such a good memory

[@alexj7816]

I'm waiting all week long to watch your video every sunday. It is very relaxing, it brings me a valuable moment of peace to my life

[@jacquelineslavich591]

The contrast between the warm colours of autumn in the first half and the cool snow and blue sky winter colours is beautiful. Your care for the old leather boots is just another example of attention to detail that I love.

[@CarlSmith-j4c]

Dear Martin - I sincerely appreciate what you do. I came across your channel as I was discovering what contemporary KZbin had to offer and have filled from the beginning of your current project (and have enjoyed the bike journeys as well). Thank you for sharing in the meaningful format you’ve created. In gratitude- Carl

[@GingerClark-z5x]

What beautiful scenery I love the waterfall and the sound of the water flowing. Thank you f or the lovely ride through the country side.

[@jampuppy]

What stunning scenes…the moonlight on the clouds….the wind in the trees. Thank goodness you left the sounds of nature uninterrupted by music! Inspiring! Nice to see Johannes (I think that’s his name) I haven’t seen updates from his channel in a while. I love how slowly and mindfully you move through your chores. The boots are like old friends, almost, the way you care for them. I suppose to live that lifestyle, chores would have to be this way, otherwise it would quickly wear on a person. Thanks for another superb video, Martijn.

[@1519Spring]

Easier to greet the arrival of mountain winter with joy when one is not living in a canvas tent! Love to see it.

[@mamad3170]

The colors in this one are just spectacular.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Oh, loved you saying that every one needs a couple of bags of cement before winter. Yeh. Gifts that make a difference. Good hearted friends share these things.

[@janmarsh5643]

OMG, I think this video is the most profound piece of artistry you have accomplished. It was a complete story in itself from the cleaning of your boots to the drone footage of the grandeur of the snow covered mountains. Everything between felt like the circle of life and the connection and groundedness of the earth, nature ,colour and light. I was so moved that I felt I was in a meditation. Thank you so very much for your skill and artistic awareness. It is simply lovely. ❤❤❤

[@julianmoules7673]

I admire your motivation to keep going in all weathers

[@corneliaberthold2416]

Thank you Martijn. I see for the first time your video. I love your way of telling the story, without saying words. (Only some). It touched me ...the stillness...the beauty...the simple way of life... The way you care for all things, like the shoes... The wood... And so on...thank you for sharing...❤

[@pegsbarton6353]

The snow, the music, the quick peep of Johannes, a little bit of all sorts...wonderful. Thank you Martijn, another beautiful piece of your life shared with us.👍

[@luisbernhard8667]

Another amazing episode! Thank you Martijn, you make all of us dream and hope of a better world. I know it is not easy for you for it is all hard work in that beautiful environment but yet you masterfully manage to convey peace and relaxation through the lens of your camera.

Always remember, all the buildings in the world that are more than 1000 years old are made of stone. Your home is a treasure! I bought a stone house with walls one meter wide, it is at 1000 meters of altitude, and my family and I are delighted. Greetings from the Basque Country in northern Spain.

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

Martin. You made me laugh when you whirled the wheelbarrow over your nice clean bed, but that is one way to get lots of wood into the house. Everything looks so cozy at night with a few lights on.

[@denaredford6701]

Hello from the Philippines, were it never snows. You're tenacity never fails to impress me. Your drive to finish is amazing and I enjoy ever video you put out. Italy is a beautiful place, and up in those mountains is the best. I come from South Dakota USA so I know of cold and snow, but I am old now and prefer warmer climates. Keep up the awesome work, what you are doing is absolutely amazing!!!!! Thank you for allowing us to follow along.

[@brown-eyedgirl858]

The mountains covered in snow in Winter are specially beautiful! Loved the coziness that was cooking, watching a movie and making some sketches. I always love seeing the chickens, and Johannes, so thank you for that and all the rest! Stay safe, and warm! ❄️🪵🥰

[@CoelhoChewy]

Hi Martijn. It was good to see Johannes ! Watching your videos is so relaxing.

[@Sweetie-c8t]

The cinematography was even more beautiful than usual in this one. The Timelapse of the snow, the focus shift from the flowers to the mountains and the drone shot through the trees as you were driving were particularly awesome 😊

[@barbaralarose2558]

Between the beautiful views, and music, the fresh snow my heart is gently touch by nature. Love the chickens too. ❤️

[@yinny11-11]

Love your vlogs Martijn. Have you also seen the Itchy Boots motorcycle vlogs? She too is Dutch and in her current episodes, series 8 she's touring Turkey on a motorbike. OMG. The cinematography of the landscapes is so incredible & awe inspiring it moves me to tears at times.

[@morepork281]

Agree. But, can I suggest Martjin has one less meal in the evening even though he's burning those calories off....😂😂

[@FranWhorton-of5ql]

The drone got some really great footage of the fog cover. How amazing. It was so thick. Can't do much in that!

[@thizizliz]

Oh it's so beautiful up there! Your new carport is wonderful. Every week, you build wonderful things and it is turning from a wreck into a home in such a beautiful way.

From early in the morning until late in the evening, his hens are always tickling because of the brownish color of autumn, winter is slowly approaching. A quiet, satisfied man is working on his future, yes winter, just like a squirrel, he is building up winter supplies, without complaining or pufffing, but with a happy heart. ❤

[@AmusedPineTrees-wh1ed]

Tickling?? What is this word mean.

[@RosaPeijs]

It means that they are satisfied, that is the sound they make just like a cat making a purring sound, this word is a dialect in the south of the Nederlands - Krielende hennekes.

[@shaeleneread1910]

You simply, Do and, be in your vision , with the precision of restoration determination,commitment and looking at the future for you and your integrity with preseving these simple but very integral buildings.
