Here is a link to the text about the fermented millk called "fil", or in our case, "Långfil" www.talasbuan.com/english-blog/fil Do you have any stories or memorys of eating home made fil? Here is more information about raw milk: www.realmilk.com/

[@meinthewild]

My mother used to make fil using a warming machine called a yogurt maker. She used store purchased yogurt as the starter and powdered milk mixed with light cream as this gave the fil a thicker consistency. Also, the powdered milk is not ultra pasteurized. The store purchased milk here in the US is now destroyed by the Ultra-pasteurization process and it’s useless for making homemade cheese or yogurt because all the protein chains have been destroyed by the 280 F degree heat. Unfortunately, it is also illegal in many states for cow owners to sell raw milk. I get around this problem by either purchasing an interest in a cow (such as 1/8th ownership for $200 per year) and then I get a 1/8th portion of milk from my cow each week when she’s milking, or I buy raw milk in baggies that’s meant for animal consumption. No one needs to know that I’m not feeding it to my hog. The second method is a little sketchy because of the possibility of contamination. Ownership interest also lets me choose which kind of cow I want my milk from. I started out with Holsteins, but I’ve switched to Belted Galloways because there’s more fat and it’s richer. I pour a little raw honey or fig jam on my fil. I’ll have to try the raw egg yolk. Thanks for another fabulous video.

[@Talasbuan]

@Mister Professor Raw milk is often wrongly blamed. Here you can read about the safety of raw milk: www.realmilk.com/safety/ Here are some rebuttals and answers to most of the scare propaganda againt raw milk: www.realmilk.com/key-documents/ Here is an intresting document about CDC and raw milk: www.realmilk.com/wp-content/uploads/2000/01/CDCReportSummary1998-2005.pdf Here is a spreadsheet of outbrakes from pasturized milk: www.realmilk.com/wp-content/uploads/2000/01/PasteurizedMilkOutbreakdata.xls

[@Talasbuan]

@Mister Professor thank you! It is nice to hear that you enjoy our videos. Hope we can disagree without bad feelings ☺️ We are not so much for using "common sense" as proof of a point. The Swedish recommendation is not based on any sound science, if you think it is, we would very much like to see that. We know and follow the Weston A Price foundations work. And so far, they have asked a lot of completely relevant questions about the situation in the world today that the science doesn't seem to be able to answer in a comprehensible and scientifically accurate way. If one is to chritizise information, one is best to criticize the actual information, not use lables such as "conspiracy theorists" and "anti-vaxxers". This is called an ad hominem argument and does not further the discussion at all. The question was, is pasturized milk safer than unpastorized? The evidens seems to not be able to proove that. On the other hand, studies and an overwhelming amount of anecdotal stories (with is not scientifically grounded, but still should not be entirely discarded) indicates that unpastorized milk is both safer and healthier. As is shown on the site www.realmilk.com/ If you find something specific on the site that you think are questionable or not accurate, I will happily examine that with you, and I think the authors of the site is interested as well.

[@AshleyMorphan]

I think it’s the same as yogurt if I’m not wrong

[@Hbird12]

I believe this is like kefir for us here in Americaca. But you will need a start Cultures (kefir grains) we do it and it's almost as a natural yogurt we just add some fruit.. But it need a bit it heat for best result. Check it out Tova

Don't worry about repeating what you film. It's the repetition of daily living that makes your channel so interesting. The cooking, animals, and building projects are what make this so appealing. The only thing I could say to make this better would be to post videos more often. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Yes me too! I feel WELL when I watch this channel 🙏🏻

I completely and to totally agree! I especially enjoy the homemaking and cooking aspects. Thank you and stay safe!

[@Samanthanewmexico]

I agree!! Don't change a thing.

[@jackiecosta7620]

I disagree Cyndi because they need to film at a slower pace which compliments their lifestyle ... this lifestyle is extremely time consuming and with the new child and animals to look after not to mention time for their reading and keeping that wood stove burning round the clock and fermenting foods plus lots more ..... It s truly amazing to me that they find time to film what they do film. But, I can understand why you want more videos. More does not always equate to better. Just another viewpoint from another fan of the Talasbaun Channel.

[@candicayton8322]

I agree. So very interesting and calming. Such a simple life. Very hard work but it has to make them proud of the accomplishments.

[@terribishop5313]

The beauty in your visuals with the chosen music gives me warm fuzzies. You young souls are going to save this planet. This brings me to tears watching your videos. Your videos are teaching a joy that can be found in simplicity and a happiness thats pure and uncompromised. This is exactly what this is all about! Keep up this amazing work you are making more of an impact than you know. It's you, it's your peace, your sincerity, your pure self that's magical in both of you. I'm 62 disabled grandmother in Seattle, Washington my grandfathers came here from one Norway one Poland. If I found you by pure accident many others will too. Blessings to your beautiful family and thank you from my heart to yours.

[@226union]

I have commented before about your fantastic editing from what is clearly a LOT of footage. The other remarkable point to make is just how you understand the need for silence at times, natural sounds at other times and then a clever use of such soothing music. So Scandinavian......less is more. If you have nothing to say, say nothing. Your clever filming shows the beautiful countryside and sometimes the pictures are enough. I am an Aussie living in Munich and a big fan.

Yup. :-) Also here. Amazing thing. But at the driving in the snow with the scooter, I felt like some oldtime-computergame! (Except the "graphics" is way better now! :-D And we did not fail even once! :-) So beautifull in sweden, and also wonderfull to hear some sweedish, as we danes understand most of it. Coasy! That little charming boy is also adorable. I even felt like maybe I would try out making the fermented milk. :-) Thank you for all the hard work put into making those videos. From yet another homesteader in Denmark,

[@marieleopold1625]

It grieves me to hear of people 'interfering' with SUCH a beautiful life as yours. People tend to 'push' what 'they believe' is better, or they simply canNOT accept through jealousy/envy ALLLLLLL that you have. Your lives are soOOOoo rich! You really have everything that matters...health, peace, love, your homestead, a simple 'uncomplicated' life, fresh water, clean air, beauty of nature, a sweet home, talents to enrich your lives and already in your young years...much experience and understanding of plant and animal husbandry. You are both wonderful cooks. You are well-organized and planning simple and beneficial home improvements such as the cool house. When you have time (and this is hard to come by and often needs outside assistance i.e. family/friends) you work towards your other home. You sacrifice very much of your time for the making of these videos for us, and I pray it inspires people to give, as the wealth you offer us is a treasure to be sure. THEN...you have sacrificed and through great love, brought little Ivar into this world. He is growing up into a life of endless bounty, opportunity and all swaddled up in parents who love and are proud of him. It just doesn't get better, and I am afraid when some people see this...it is as a 'clawing' from a mad cat...your wealth and peace and love...unnerve many 'restless ones'. Let the oppressive remarks fall as water off a duck's back. Thank you for this beautiful video. It was absolutely precious to see Ivar play the little xylophone and by lack of co-ordination...bonk gentle Malva (dog) in the snout. SoOOOoo CUTE! God's continued abundant blessings upon you n' yours! :) P.S. WELL DONE Matthias on the vid and edits. Your appreciation and deep spiritual awareness come through each time. Tova, you too are a wonderful gift to each one in your family. The food is always so healthy and delicious looking! ALSO...the relationship/love/appreciation you have for your animals is simply amazing! WELL DONE! WELL DONE! WELL DONE!

The "modern" hippie. No disparaging tut tuts...I am STILL a hippie, but seeing life off the grid, the commune we tried to start - well, we were naive and frankly, too lazy, not stoned, just "citified"- our attempt wasn't an extended camping trip but we naive, strictly vegetarian and had an old, old, old car (the floor was "missing" in the back seat! Very disconcerting to watch the road seemingly close to your bare feet...) I love your panoramic Vista views of the pines, I can feel that clean, crisp air on my face healing me...Namaste, Z

[@secaucuss7344]

@@MSYNGWIE12 Yes, similar to "hippie" and that back to the earth ideal. We had regular jobs and the best I could do was getting a Dodge van and setting it up as a 'steel tent."

I love your long format, it gives me time to calm down and escape into your videos. I need the escape from the stresses of my life. Your photography is so professional, plus I love the simply explanations you offer, it quickly answers my questions that come up in my mind. You should millions of subscribers in my humble opinion! The intense beauty with the most perfect music choices is the reason why I watch. And it's nice to see another part of the world. Please keep up the fabulous work you are doing with your videos. You really should be a top KZbinr with your videography and editing skills! I loved your wife's wreath making video. It inspired me to cut some evergreens and bring them in the house. I have asked my husband to make the wreath template your wife showed in the video. Your family is just precious. You and your wife seem so mature in your decision making process. I appreciate that in young families. Oh, buy a snowmobile, don't think you will regret it! It may make a comprising situation worth it! Or greater enjoyment with kids later.

Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous, those drone flights through the trees! Hello and greetings from Paris. I have just discovered your channel. Today I was standing on a grey, grim and dreary street, with lots of miserable- looking people milling around. So I closed my eyes and visualized your beautiful snow-laden forest, and the world suddenly felt like a better place. I know life for you folks is a not easy in the harsh climate, and you both work very very hard. But your vlogs are so exquisite, so peaceful, so thoughtful, so informative. I love that you show your daily life, that you don’t try to sell stuff or make a “show” of it. Fabulous editing too. I look forward to catching up on the several years I have missed. Thank you for bringing peace and beauty into my life.

First of all, your videos are more like cinematic masterpieces with the coolest people ever in the most beautiful place ever. So dont stop expressing yourself and creating and sharing this art. Furthermore the monotony of everyday life is what blossoms and blooms into new realities, fresh perspectives, personal and physical evolution and the co creative principle of life. I'm humbled and honored to be able to watch the everyday small things you all do at your beautiful home. As someone who is a small homesteader and strives to be as close to earth and untainted by the chemical reality of the world, Your videos have changed my life for the better, you've inspired me to take my lifestyle and upgrade it times 100. I know I'm not the only one that has been impacted by your vlogs either. I'm an introvert who lives alone and doesn't connect with the outside world, not being able to travel and see the small amount of friends I do have, your videos have become very therapeutic and healing for me during this time and I can't thank you enough. Your channel is my favorite on youtube and what you are doing is inspiring me and the world to keep faith in our own sovereignty, to cherish and acknowledge how meaningful it is to live close to the earth and to help us all stay a little more humble. I can't say enough, really. I send all of my love to you and your family and I can't thank you enough for sharing your world and art with us all. God Bless.

I love your warm home, you keep it like I would, nice and simple, your little guy is soo cute , we all have a long list of things to do, but it's the important things we try to get to , the wonderful goals list Lol, thank you for sharing your experiences, and family 🙏❤🙏

[@earthangel8730]

Ah, beautiful Winter! Every season includes hard work when you are self reliant. I appreciate the time and energy you put into these videos. Hopefully you both get enjoyment from sharing with us too. Perhaps it is a nice creative break from hauling hay, splitting wood, shoveling snow, cleaning animal pens,, filling water containers, meal preparation, sleepless nights with a teething baby and endless snow shoveling! We love the three of you! 💙💗💙

[@auana3]

So much beauty and peace in this video! Also love the pace of your life very much, and Ivar, lovely baby!

[@MrsBarhelm]

I binge-watched all your videos! I found your channel when you posted Ivar's birth video and I was about to have my 3rd baby. That was the loveliest and most inspiring home birth video I have ever seen! While sitting and nursing for hours I watched every video on your channel, and have been watching ever since. Your videos are so beautiful and inspiring! I don't mind repeats at all.

You have eyes for the beautiful, the peaceful, and the precious! How lovely to just enjoy life in such a lovely place.

Watching from Fiji your stunning surrounding and enviable lifestyle. Such a beautiful family and with parents like you, Ivar who is so adorable, will be an amazing child and adult much like the parents! Simply lovely of you to share your stories😇

[@melissareynoldsvanmaldegia5104]

This video was so beautiful it brought me to tears. Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@spinfunfiber4649]

The way you fly your drone feels like a bird in flight. I have never before wished I could fly. Until now. Everything about what you create, both for your home and family, and the content for all of us, is SO soothing to the soul. Your vision (in which ever facet you can imagine) resonates with those of us that feel the same as you, as proven by the many, many lengthy and heartfelt comments. I am also one of those that started watching your videos from the beginning and been 100% drawn in by your way of creating, your thoughts, and the things you speak of. I always feel like I am right there. I agree with the previous comment: Talasbuan is THE best channel here. ❤️

[@leobaltz2057]

I don’t think any of us care about repetition. We just love to see this beautiful simple life you live that most of us long for. Keep it up my friend!

[@vagabondjane3547]

Just beautiful! Your photography and editing, music and drone footage is amazing! I realized watching him at the end that I’m so happy to just watch little Ivar, as if he were my own grandchild! He is so adorable and you are lovely parents. (Maybe a day in the life of Ivar would be fun!) I grew up on a 200 year old farm in New Hampshire, USA. We were very far from everywhere and I loved it! That part of my life is something I cherish and miss. I totally understand your passion for off grid living and learning the old ways. Your videos are always inspiring and breathtaking! Never worry that we are bored! The only thing I’d like to see is maybe old traditions, old ways of making food or keeping house or making things for the running of your farm, always interested in what you eat. But, you do those too already, so, just keep being your wonderful selves and thank you for sharing! Blessings on your little family!

[@maryegerton6848]

I could never ever be bored with your content. It’s always so stunningly beautiful. It’s minus 17 here 🇨🇦 and sunny and bright. We have had a mild winter compared to most years. About 40 cm of snow right now, and the snowmobile drivers are having a blast. Lots of trails in the back woods. I love living here. I wouldn’t have it any other way. ☮️💕

[@mscharylee]

I am in the U.S.A., and I watch your videos because you help me to escape what is taking place in our world today. You bring me peace and joy with all of the lovely scenery and your beautiful family. May God watch over you, your family and all of the good people in this world.

[@frankmack1093]

Love the time lapsed night sky with the snowy trees in foreground.

[@purpletulips4648]

About 3 weeks ago I stumble upon video 78 and from there I went back to your playlist and started to binge watch all your videos.It's like a movie .I'm enjoying your journey and for me it will never be repetitive. I'm all caught up now. Looking forward to your next notification.

Tack Jonna ♡

[@MirjamMartens]

Aww so nice you connect! I recently started watching both of your channels ( youtube recommended them) and looked up where you live in Sweden... turns out you are in the same middle part!

[@Talasbuan]

@@MirjamMartens we're sort of neighbors :) at least in the rural northern swedish way of looking at distances hehe

[@hennym5674]

thankyou for your videos. they are beyond beautiful. the part where the sun hit the tops of trees was so magical. Dont worry about repeats, you are providing peace and beauty during this long pandemic time and i look forward to each video you produce. Thankyou so much for all the work and effort that goes into these.

[@SwirlingSoul]

AWESOME FOOTAGE!!! Gosh golly I can never get enough of this ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Please don't stop showing us your life! I don't feel like it's all the same at all. I just looked at Ivar, he's gotten so big! I love his happy face. His lovable ears somehow seem to compliment that happiness.

[@cindygallo1285]

Binge watched! Lol. I have watched all of your videos. I have learned a lot from you!! Tell your stories. We love to watch your everyday life. It’s fascinating!

[@nickyork8901]

I like the repetition of the cycles of your daily lives, it is very restful and down to earth. The little Mr giraffe keeper is very nice. He has a good set of teeth now. But your dog is our favourite.

[@FieldFarmForest]

Thank you for sharing such beautiful calming beauty. I loved watching Malva snow swim after she went skiing with you, happy dog. It’s so astonishing how fast time flies. Share the things your heart desires, it will never get old for us. ❤️☮️☕️-Kirsten

[@stefuhfuhmarie]

I love watching your daily lives, over and over. I don’t find any of it boring as I love the perspective of your life in Sweden. Keep going! You are all so incredibly refreshing and cherished. Thank you for all your hard work 💜

[@blondilass]

Hello Mathias Tova and of course baby Ivar. From the first time that one of your video's appeared in my newsfeed I was hooked and 'Binged watched every episode after that. I followed your pregnancy up until the birth of your baby with anticipated excitement for you like I was a family member and I was happy to feel a part of your beautiful life there in Sweden although I'm sure that we will never meet in person I still feel affection and admiration for the lifestyle that you have created together. Your video's are peaceful and the filming is outstanding. Do not worry about repeating anything at all because in daily life most things stay the same for all of us. I just love watching everything you do and will never tire of it. Peace and Blessings from the UK.

[@lieveponny]

The landscape looks like something out of a fairytale. If you weren’t walking around in it you would think it’s a painting. It’s interesting for me to see how you cope with the cold and snow and ice all the time. I live in a tropical country so I probably wouldn’t last a day in this climate 🥶

[@bhaskar1303]

Same here.. its so beautiful yet so daunting.

[@annawho2220]

Im not from an area that is as cold as talasbuan, but I would die in a tropical climate 😂 the key to coldth is the clothing

[@sherchez3293]

Anna WHO and keep moving!

[@annawho2220]

@@sherchez3293 oh yes, sitting for a long time is not an option xD

[@Pop-zb3wr]

I wouldn't worry about repeating what you film. The reason I want to watch your videos is because of those things you do everyday, and to see the forests that you show. I could never get sick of seeing the beauty of nature and its creatures!

[@bodgerliz5138]

Great music in the skiing scene. And a happy dog. Brilliant. Ideas: I would love to see you in the workshop, making. How you manage your chickens in such a deep winter. The tips about fermenting and meat production, I always appreciate. And, discussion about regenerative agriculture as it pertains to your part of the world. The traditional methods you use fit into agroecological farming well, and it is worth talking about.

[@allylothman]

I dont feel like these movies are repetitive. In each new video, we get to watch your family and little baby grow. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@howbigisyourlove]

without a doubt ,,, the best drone footage on youtube .. it is absolutely genius to be able to do that and then edit it for your audience .. been watching you as two and now three and beautiful dog ..sharing you with my friends of facebook .. love your videos .. they make my heart jump when i see a new vid posted.. you are remarkable people :) can't wait to see you play outdoors when the weather breaks with your little guy ..

[@loriflori]

Your drome filming through the snow-filled landscapes are just beautiful! Makes one forget the freezing temperatures that goes alone with it, just to be able to see this beauty!

[@saranorling165]

The part with first the snowmobile and then the skiing with Malva was absolutely amazing 👌🏻👏🏻 The music was perfect!

[@suearengo6839]

You are showing us peace and beauty..so keep making the videos

Pretty good drone flying -- I can't see how you avoid some of those snow-covered tree tops -- thrilling to watch!

[@Talasbuan]

Hehe, I've crashed many times :) so far only propeller needed changing. /Mathias

[@makebelievestunt]

@@Talasbuan Well, the snow looks amazing. I'm in Wisconsin, and we just had a large snowfall and temps this morning below 0 F. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for a look at very rural Sweden.
