Living with the Seasons

[@Vikingseer]

This is such a beautiful relaxing video, I would love to live somewhere as rural and peaceful as you do. So sad about the woodland, I cried with you. Your chickens and doggy are soooo cute! ❤❤

[@ekush6694]

Wow, I was just about to comment on how beautiful the images were at the beginning and how inspirational your environment must be, when you cut to the images of the deforestation in the same spot. I do not think I will understand our species and the need to destroy what is beautiful Thank your for your content, it is a pleasure to take the time to relax and enjoy the imagery you share.

Omg! It’s so sad that the land can be stripped without a second thought. Even the sky seemed sad and angry with the storm. All those vegetables looked so healthy…yum! Love watching your videos. Take care and stay well.

Thank you for another heartfelt story. They help me stay inspired to be mindful of the good things I have at hand. I often let myself get very troubled by things like social unrest in Great Britain, Scotland and more. But there is a place like where you live that in Washington state I am bound to care for. I visit there several times a year and spend time on a mower just like yours, haha! And at night, the frogs come alive with such intensity that causes me great joy. There are birdsongs that are new to me, and the deer have always enjoyed the gardens. It’s fun to get an alert on my phone to see some critter has woken the security cameras again. One day, God willing, perhaps I will be privileged to care for the place even more. I envision most of the lawn areas being covered in natural wildflowers and perhaps a beehive would work, too. It’s always heartbreaking for me to see a forest cut down, but as some who builds, someone who provides and as a man who loves, I understand the need for the things forests provide us… including inner strength and solitude found on quiet walks. That beautiful red home you are painting was once part of a forest, and the heat from that iron stove is a transition from the warm sunlight that grew the trees whose wood now keeps the Finnish frost and dampness from making you sick. I think I came at peace with that long ago, but I am not at peace with how corporations replant the land in the manner they do, and I am bitter at private landowners who choose to clear cut for a onetime profit without regard to topsoil washoff that ruins the land and streams. I enjoy your stories.

Absolutely heartbreaking.😢 My neighbor cut a bunch of the forest behind me about 5 years ago. They left not only stumps, but a complete mess of branches that were “useless” to the lumber company. I, too, cried at the devastation. And then I realized that as awful as it was, some good came of it. The wildflowers came up and grasses, which brought the deer to feed (they can’t find much to eat in the deep forest, especially in winter). The downed brush and branches became dens for foxes, bobcats and even a bear. If it helps any, nature adapts and it will recover given time and patience. I promise.

What a beautiful footage ❤️ the beginning reminds me of a vlog by Jonna Jinton titled "A Heavy Heart" from some years ago in which she had suddenly lost one of her favourite forests as well. She said that "losing a forest is like losing a friend", and I bet you can relate to that feeling too. Even knowing that down here in North we live mostly from the forest industry, it always hurts to see the devastation. I hope you'll find your own piece of nature to protect and get inspiration from. ❤

[@camillafjader]

Thank you! ❤ Yes! As I was editing this I actually distantly remembered Jonna's video about loosing a favorite forest. Can truly relate to that feeling of loosing a friend.

Your property is still beautiful with all your gardens, barns, and magnificent trees. It is such a perfect place to create all your gorgeous artwork. I'm awaiting the reopening of your online store. I love rabbits, and the one picture you showed on this video intrigued me. Keep up your great work! I look forward to your next video.😊

FANTASTIC xx

[@microhouselife]

Your videos are so beautifully calming and motivating! I’m also exploring slow living and tiny house life on my own channel, though it’s been a slow journey with just 46 subscribers so far. Your content gives me hope and encourages me to keep sharing my story. Thank you for the inspiration and for creating such wonderful videos!

[@Wood4love]

it is always challenging when we meet devastation by human greed. With out putting out the general need for habitants of what makes it to be so beautiful. We get globally same phenomen and we then once we are challenged by weather that repeats its self we get sad and pissed of for we got too late in educating the needed. It pisses me off for i know it happening globally we just learning how greed is allowed to own a daily need that protects our daily life. Challenges are many one is to show world why we all need to do more.

[@MsCaleb79]

They cut very much trees in Sweden now too, because the Prize is high now. But I hope they will plant other trees instead and not just one kind of trees.

[@savingsiskola]

Oh no how devastating! Im so sorry! This moved me to the core and made me cry. I can totally imagine the pain you feel. I love your nature clips. What kind of camera do you use. I am dreaming of getting a better one when I can. The house is looking lovely with the fresh paint.

[@camillafjader]

Thank you! ❤️ I pretty recently got a used Panasonic LUMIX GH5 from a relative and love it. But before that I was using an Olympus om-d e-m5 mark II and especially loved the small size. 😁

[@chuiga2935]

Ihana tuo jänismaalaus! Siinä on jännä tunnelma. Neljä vuodenaikaa on ihana asia. Itsekin haaveilen vanhan sammaleisen metsän omistamisesta. Tunnereaktiosi noihin hakkuisiin on ihan oikeutettu. Nuo paikat ovat meille kauneudelle ja mielenterveydelle pyhitettyjä paikkoja jotka tuhotaan rahan edestä. Itellä palaa päreet nähdessäni noita avohakkuu paikkoja. Näyttää rumalta eikä useimmissa tapauksissa siellä pysty kulkemaan vuosiin kun oksakasat ja kuopat katkaisevat luonnolliset reitit. Mutta mitäpä pienen ihmisen mielenterveyteen vaikuttava asia vaakakupissa painaa rahaa vastaan. Suurin osa pohjoisen kansasta valitettavasti on unohtanut juurensa.

[@Sketchingdraft]

So sad to hear you cry 😟

[@a8f235]

Lives in home made of wood. Burns wood to keep warm. Sad because someone have to provide this wood. This is hypocritical.

[@camillafjader]

We cut the wood I burn ourselves and there's no need to cut down an entire forest for that, I assure you. Most of it is trees that bark beetles have already killed. The house I live in was built 100 years ago, there's no saving that wood anymore. Might as well take as good care of it as possible to make the wood last. I also buy all my wood furniture used. There are ethical ways to source wood and then there's just destruction for monetary gain. Clear cutting falls under the latter.

[@a8f235]

​@@camillafjader There are 8 billion people on this planet. You are 1 individual. Goods have been traded/sold since the dawn of time, so cutting down trees to sell them is nothing new. Farmers often need to be creative to make ends meet, and wood can be a good side income. Trying to say you re-use wood only means you are fine with the fact that tree have been cut down as long as someone else did the dirtywork for you. The same goes for people being mad about people who eat meat while they have no issues with their own cat killing mice and rodents, or all the wildlife who kill prey every single day out in the wild... There's pros and cons with everything in this world. Just because we do not like something, doesn't mean we cannot accept it. I live in the countryside as well, and I accept hardworking farmers who do a lot of work that a lot of people in this day and age will scream bloody murder over, when it's just perfectly normal. We should rather support the farmers, because politicians are trying to bleed them out... _Don't bite the hand that feeds you..._

[@camillafjader]

Figured since you referred to my specific lifestyle as hypocritical in the previous comment, we were talking about me as an individual. Either way I repeat, there are more ethical/sustainable ways to do things and those are the farmers I choose to support. None of my business who other people support. I have never criticized cutting trees as a whole, only clearcutting. I still think it's totally acceptable to feel emotional and mourn never walking in that beautiful forest again.

[@a8f235]

@@camillafjader It's pretty evident you only want to view this from your own perspective as you failed to get the point I tried to make with 8 billion people on this planet to broaden your horizon, open your eyes and so on. I also mentioned it because the trees that were cut there are going to more than one person, so claiming that you cut down less is irrelevant because you are only one person so that's pretty obvious which again is the definition you only see this from your own perspective. Also defining it as *_an entire forest_* is just blowing things way out of proportion because this is just a small area of a forest, so this is just an emotional rant. Feeling frustrated I could understand but crying I just feel is over the top. Nobody have died, so mourning over things without a pulse is beyond me that's where I'll leave it.

[@wenDesigner]

I’m very connected to trees also. It breaks my heart when trees come down for any reason. 🌳🏕️🌳❤

[@DavidWallder]

It's always upsetting when beloved trees are cut down. 🫤 It's it a commercial plantation? A lot of Coniferous forests are cut down here, usually replaced by deciduous varieties.

[@camillafjader]

I don't think it was a commercial plantation specifically but ofc owned and cut down for monetary gain only. That owner has now cut down all the forest they own.. 🙄 They're legally obligated to replant though. Most of the forests closest to our property is actually owned by a business in the timber industry but luckily they're pretty good about keeping the forests close to a natural state, only thin out but not cut down completely (except if the trees have pests or are completely rotten) and replant what grew there before.
