How true! Hubby, now 80, remembers people taking the time to patiently show him things when he was 4 or 5. He grew up loving to learn how to make things, and there is literally nothing that he cannot do. Those little ones take their cues from those who show them things, and it pays off!

It's great to see a father and son "working" and learning together. So many men have 9-5 jobs and don't have enough time to communicate and teach their children. Thanks for another look at your daily life. It's hard to find time for anything when you run a farm. When you get time your too tired to do anything. See you.

Please consider the successes you are having when you feel like everything seems to take so much time. Over the time I’ve watched your grazing and rotation of the fields appears to be improving them, you see it. It’s the same with your projects, I envy you your root cellar and that you had the courage to just build it, I’m still agonizing over mine. Your summers are so busy and short you need to cut yourself some slack and give yourself a dose of grace. Everyday you are one step closer to a goal. Most of all I love what you are teaching your son, that is eternal and you cannot put a price on it.

Not to mention that you both have other daily responsibilities around the farm. This was such a charming vlog. I smiled watching till the end!😊 Thank you for all your hard work!! Your whole family is FANTASTIC!! Can’t wait till the snow comes!!! Scenery that is magical ❄️🎿⛄️ Till next time 🥰

You have the patients of Jobe with Ivar witch is delightful to see. Here in the US we do not take the time to teach our children much & our schools certainly do not teach them the basics of life either. He will be a good citizen, father & spouse as both of you some day but, until then enjoy every minute with him & keep up being a very good teacher. He will continue to repay you in much love. Ivar is growing up fast & so smart! I always smile when watching & hearing Mr. Ivar & admire all your videos, thank you.

Last month I was finally able to become a monthly supporter through Patreon! I still wish I could do more as a way to express not only gratitude but how much you videos mean to me and make a difference in my life. There is so much more I would like to say but I lost most of the use of my hands making it very difficult to type. I hope I am not out of line asking you for anything but I'm going to take a chance.....you are all so busy and work so hard but I'm wondering if you might be able to make a swing for Ivar? Just throw some rope over a tree branch with a plank for a seat, or even an old tire! It is so lovely watching him grow up and he's growing so fast! A swing might also keep him busy while you need more time to focus on other things. Much love from Teri in Saline, Michigan USA

Oh my... Ivar wanting to pull the chicken tractor with his bike is so precious! He's an amazing young man and so fortunate to work and play alongside his parents, learning so much. 🤗 Such hard working folks. I admire your lifestyle, your work ethics, your parenting skills. It is a priviledge to watch when you can get the videos out. The beginnings of your house looks fantastic. I know it's all taking longer than you'd like, but it will be magnificent when you're done. Insulate well, and it will be so cozy, yet feel like so much more space. The photography is phenominal! I know the pain of a dropped lens, but filters always kept on the lens prevents scratching the lens itself. I hope yours can be fixed.

Don't worry and pressure yourself about this. Live your life on your terms. You, your family and homestead come first!!! ❤❤❤

Nice to see that Ivar is becoming a very useful and skilful helper!!! Aren't you afraid that the noise of the motor lifting of descending the "walk way" for the chicken will frighten them?!?!?! it's very noisy. By doing all by yourself, you are training Ivar to become a very skilful assistant that will know a lot about taking care of a house and land. You are giving him a very precious heritage that no money can buy: experience!... and he is a very good apprentice! You are having many hard times but Ivar will have learned from you and will be skilful to further it up to an other level!... You are planting seed in his heart. I found you both so COURAGEOUS!!! You have my deepest respect for what you are trying to do... all by yourself! 🙏💖👌✨
