Every day Life Off the Grid in Northern Sweden

[@Kementiri]

I sometimes find myself holding my breath as I watch your fly over the meadows, streams and forests enveloped in snow. And then I think to myself of the times I had with my parents on our farm and the hard work it involved but we were HAPPY then. We also raised sheep( Suffolk ) . We didn't feel like were were missing out on anything because it just wasn't there to obsess about. All the technological advances we have made and yet more and more people are so unhappy, unfullfilled and lost and lonely. It is my dream to one day go back to living a more simpler life without so much techno garbage and to go back to connecting with nature and living a mindful and meaningful life. You guys make me think that me and my bf can one day do that so don't ever stop your videos. Keep up with your dreams and even though there are setbacks just keep moving forward. You are so inspiring to so many people :)

[@Gosia-MG]

Don't dream about "one day". See how you can put into reality today. You don't need to move to off grid log cabin to live this way. You can move away from techno right now by moving away from smartphone into the old type phone for example. Reclaiming lost skills like map reading, growing your own food, building fires, learning to forage, mending clothes.

[@britzel71]

I feel the same when I watch the drone and see the gorgeous scenery...makes my heart soar and takes my breath. He's truly talented in putting these videos together

[@diananore1368]

The breeding aprons can help but not foolproof. We had our bucks in with does and only one doe was impregnated while aprons used. Must be measured accurately and secured enough they can get off.

[@cliffordchristopher1]

May you get a little nest egg to start, and soon begin.

[@sk13ppy]

Yep too much technology creates more hunger for connection with the natural world and with other humans, thus technology is leaving people more and more empty in their soul, until they discover that we can't really thrive without nature and nurture.

[@mommas2470]

You both have given young Ivar such a beautiful and loving start to his life. He begins his journey of years with PRICELESS memories...and he will remember much more than you realise. Sending many, many blessings and prayers for you all . Thank you for sharing such blessed moments with us all.

[@kathrynmoll86]

It is always so wonderful to take a trip through and over the tree tops and down to the homestead, as though riding on a magic carpet. And, so beautiful with Old Winter's coat on the ground and you all carrying on with your chores. Ivar is learning well how to tend to the flock! He'll be a huge help in few years! We are learning as well how to keep a small farm. It is so good to see your videos each time you post! Thank you!

[@Serenityfor1]

Such a healthy way to live growing your own food source is a luxury these days. Thank you for the lovely peek into your amazing lives.

[@mariettehamel12358]

Ivar face is changing... he is loosing his toddler face! and he still speaks a lot, but this time, it's understandable to "us"!!! Your images are becoming sooooo beautiful! and your artistic skills is "blooming"!!! it's like refining your visual sensitivity! It's MAGIC!!!! Thank you so much.✨✨💖👌💖✨✨

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

I feel sorry for you that you've only just been able to understand young Ivar's speech. I have comprehended it for ages as most on here have I believe. Not sure what is your problem but would have liked you to keep it to yourself. It is not shared with any positive lean on it. The lack of understanding is your problem not theirs. Please be mindful of what you share and why you share it. This family works incredibly hard and sincerely to being to us a slice of their very hard life. Yes they've chosen this lifestyle, but that doesn't make it any less arduous and even more so to convert their native tongue into a language most can understand. That Ivar is only 2 and speaks so clearly and with understanding of the concept he's portraying is very advanced for his age. So please , think before you write in future and that goes for all channels you interact on, thankyou.

[@winonalovers]

@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I dont think it was meant to be a negative comment in any way - there are a lot of people out there having difficulties in understanding toddlers, and others understand them quite well! I am working with young children and can understand them all, but there are other teachers that dont.

[@Pop-zb3wr]

@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 What on earth.... how did you take their comment so negatively 🤣

[@almutphilipp4057]

Your impressions of winter in the forest are amazing. It seems to be like paradise. Your videos become better and better!! 👌

[@trampfossil]

We made a central pen with gates to all the pens and a Very High and strong fence on the central pen and because the central pen touched all the others, it was easier to sort the herd without them wanting to follow, the separated ones, the hard part is sorting, but a carrot or treat helps a lot!!! We also have goats and they ALL have collars... a big help we also try to walk them too which makes them easier to catch, having constant contact. your Red bowls seem to also help a lot...

[@Talasbuan]

Thank you!

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

We used to have three rams. Two would fight and one could get on with the job! They are lovely looking sheep.

[@Talasbuan]

Haha hmm 🤔 Should we have four rams?

[@karomaalta4592]

@@Talasbuan I'm just thinking that with goats the bucks fight untill they know Who is the King and sometimes the others can't mate anymore because they've Lost the alfa fight. Hope it's not gonna be that way. Interesting To see what Will happen!

[@Misky1969]

I think this channel is wonderful. I think you’re both living your best life! Love that there’s no electronic distractions for the little one. So well done.. amazing

[@GeorginaNZ011]

Thank you for another great vlog! Really enjoyed this little glimpse into your everyday life dealing with the sheep and completely agree, home-raised meat is so much tastier!

[@thegroundedstarseeds]

Thank you, dear friends for this beautiful video. It was interesting to learn more about the complexity of the managing the flock. I hope you will have a large and very populated flock this upcoming spring and summer! 🙏💙

[@terrygauvin3961]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 love your videos always interesting great job 👏 the most authentic content on KZbin I ever seen ❤️

[@lesleycarswell5207]

That was exhausting for you, well done. It was so funny when you were saying how good the lamb is to eat and the lamb behind stopped eating and looked straight at you 🤣 you all make me smile from beginning to end , especially the little lad 😄

[@kimclenard]

Your drone footage is done with such skill. Amazing! I truly feel as if I am flying. Beautiful work in sharing your journey of life. Continued blessings to your family. ✨⭐️💛🙏💛⭐️✨

[@jntd4160]

More! More! More!...I just can't get enough! Who is with me?! I feel guilty because I know how hard you both work on everything. Thank you, I have so much respect and gratitude for all you do.

[@debbiehamiton9305]

We watch all the time ! The excitement knowing you put a beautiful and educational video out. Thanks you! You two work so hard to keep your family safe and fed. God Bless❤️

[@bowiekt]

We always want something other than what we have.. grass is greener in someone else’s pasture.. you have given me so much joy in your videos. You truly live in the most beautiful,breath taking off grid place. I hope you don’t have the “grass is greener” feeling. You are living it!! We hope to make a out of city move in the next 5 years in our retirement. . But even if we don’t. . Gratitude is essential ❤ happy almost march! Cant wait to see what spring brings you❤🌱

[@nicolecrystal6765]

Also the Lime wash is white and will brighten up the cellar. Lime plaster is also fire proof. Back in the old days everyone would lime plaster the inside of their homes so they will not burn down. Maybe you could put some iron candle holders high up on the walls of the cellar for light

[@haou132]

Beautiful! And thank you for writing thé sweet words of your clever and observative sweet boy !!!

[@rolandvasquezguzman9083]

hej, the experience little Ivar will make at your homestead will prepare him for a better human being. i lived almost the same way when i was a young child, no running water, an out house and animals to get meat from and a huge garden to grow vegetables and fruit trees. Today iám thankful to have this experience i made as a kid and i give it (the more modern way) to my son. Thank you for sharing your live and growing process. i know your live is not everyday easy and it is hard work and an everyday challenge. stay healthy and keep going.

[@IanJames56]

Mathias, the learning never stops, bless you all, hugs to Ivar❤

[@bernardmartin7861]

i'm a farmer i raised sheeps for years. To seperate your flock what you need is a triage corridor. Easy to build, will make your life way easier and it will save your back. Sheep dog we use to moove the flock frome a pasture to another one, not to seperate sheeps. i wish you the best. Good luck! and thank you for your videos they bring me moments of joy.

[@henriettanovember4733]

I was thinking the very same.

[@BEV0323]

Beautiful scenery and landscape, absolutely breath-taking!!!

Awesome winter wonderland your place🤩🤩🤩

[@unkiesacredspirit4938]

The snow capped trees are beautiful. Winter months are cold in your part of the World,but I miss visiting Finland where my husband is from,especially in winter. I grew up in a village and we had sheep. My father taught us how to care for them. He built a side by side trough? To separate them.. I don't know if this is helpful but that's what I remember..lol..your child is getting big ,Very cute to hear him speak Swedish..stay warm🥰😍💕

[@dianalesueur2297]

Thank you so much for your hard work and efforts producing videos for us around the world. This was so beautiful and extra special. Best wishes and much love to You and Your Family.

I do not always know what's going on with the sheep , ewes, lambs and the hornless ram but I learn on the go. Tomorrow I'll be watching it again. All this knowledge is not exactly applicable in my circumstances (: as I live in a Polish city but I put myself in your shoes and enjoy this life tremendously. More films like that, please.

[@karomaalta4592]

Thank you for the video! I have a fiew suĝestions about moving the sheep. 1. You Can lur them with some grains. 2. You can put them In a leach one by one and bring To the other pen. 3. You can bring the whole flock To the New Pen and separate then there, then lur the older sheep back To the old Pen. 4. You can take one of the young ewes on a leach and try if the others Will follow

This was another amazingly beautiful work of art and way better than an action movie!

We always kept the rams in a separate small building and paddock except for breeding period. Before 3 months old the male lambs were pulled for future meat.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

But, that is why your life is so darn interesting. You have to be so inventive and imaginative in so many ways. So admirable.

[@debramorris7646]

Another fantastic video! Love watching your wonderful family! Thanks for taking us along.

[@SanIgnacioBCS]

I think you could invent a cage-top for the wheeled hay cart and move the sheep one at a time that way. Wow you do have a lot of snow! Thanks for the fascinating story.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Hello from Canada :) love your little homestead, we all start somewhere and just learn as we go, wow! you have a lot of snow there just like our north hear, Looks like you just love the outdoors, good job stay safe out there :))

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very nice to see the drone footage at the end, with the treetops covered with snow.

[@sk13ppy]

Thank you very much for another brilliant episode! When you started carrying the sheep I thought, "Mathias needs to find a better way to move the sheep". 5 minutes later you said it! I suggest you buy some rope and make a few halters, one halter for each lead rope. If you can lead one with a rope and a small bucket of grain or lucerne, the others might follow. Also, if you start teaching Ivar to lead some of the lambs one at a time on a halter, while the lambs are still young they will be used to being lead by the time they are older. Keep trying to find ways to make your life easier now, you body will thank you for it when you are much older. Keep up the great work! Love to you all from Australia! 😍
