Yes,it seems, that " Spam" is the bane of our existence. It spreads at the slightest of the accept key.

[@jorannimiro]

Sir, I've received some. I ignore it

[@tess1176]

It’s so nice to just watch a video without endless ‘chat’ about what’s going on. The occasional conversation with us and the sounds of the world around you is enough, thank you!

[@pastevens2577]

I absolutely agree with this comment. It is so restful not to have endless chatter.

[@MrDerJohann]

Correct!

[@wvantuyl]

Yep, same here. More showing, less talking. Love it.

[@librarylady6mena368]

Amen to that!

[@R-Texas]

I agree! Martijn has just the right balance.

[@DanielSann]

27:40 The inscription is part of a famous italian poem from 800 years ago. It's called "Cantico delle creature" and in that part it's thanking god for water because it's useful, humble, precious and pure

[@tonysteppan8495]

Thank you for your comment. I'm sure others were wondering too. Glad Martijn could share that shot with us. What wonder's there are to be found when people share. CHEERS

[@dutchgram3799]

Thank you for sharing this. I had stopped the video in hopes of reading it but I only know English. This is beautiful.

[@michelenavarro8083]

Lovely of you! Thanks very much!!

[@_PJW_]

Tnx! Angelo Branduardi made a great song from it.

[@bernadettesingh6148]

Thanks for sharing Daniel. What a beautiful poem and thanking the Creator.

[@firefightermenc]

I have never spent so many hours watching something with almost no spoken words and been so entertained and felt at peace. This is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing with us!

[@mariainge5477]

Hi Martijn , I appreciate you message , it is a shame that people can spend a minute on spam... But we learn to know you and we proud of who are . This is one of the best Productive and educative ,program I ever see ,very inspiring, insightful, THANKS MARTIJN...⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@maxkehayov]

Colour matching his shirt and suspenders with the paint for the battens and colours of Autumn just shows the epic amount of attention to detail this man possesses!

[@vvvvv432]

Best series in KZbin. One of the things I like in Martijn is that he never shows off. Even though he does amazing things. Looking forward to the next one.

[@anaderol5408]

Hello perhaps you can help - I've not watched Martijn's videos for a few weeks - I'm surprised to see him living in a tent - when I last watched he was residing in one of the dwellings (but not through winter) has anything happened to stop him occupying the dwellings?

[@vvvvv432]

​@@anaderol5408 Sorry for the late response! Due to the fact that he is fixing the roof in one of the cabins and the other one is not livable, he had to stay in another place. Unfortunately, it's not legal to make something a temporary wooden cabin so he raised the tent. Hope I helped! :)

[@anaderol5408]

@@vvvvv432 Thanks - appreciate the response - hopefully he gets to spend the winter in his house.

[@vvvvv432]

@@anaderol5408 I also think he will be able to make the left cabin livable before the snow starts. If the roof is ready he should be able to start working in the stove etc. Looking forward to the next one!

[@anaderol5408]

@@vvvvv432 Yes - it will grand to see him enjoy his cabin after so much hard work, patience and dedication. You may have already seen this - a similar individual but in Sweden building a small cabin from scratch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGmph4mmh9uKn5Y

[@andrewharris1837]

Such a serene existence in the Italian hills.i am sure the neighbours will be pleased when all the noise from building the roof finished.interesting to see how Martin has aged from a young cyclist into a mature craftsman of huge patience & skill.hats off😊

[@Osckarre]

My God Martijn, You're living every man's dream. Amazing property, I just love the architecture of the buildings the amazing vista the picnic table all of it.

[@gailtrowbridge3660]

Each video for me is a lesson about patience and seeing things through to the end. It's something some of us (including myself) have lost. I think it's why I come back again and again to watch your progress. Once you finish one gable wall, you move on to the next. Steady as she goes. I'm a half-assed knitter, and once I knit one sock, I tell myself I don't have the patience to knit the other one, so I quit. These videos show me the profound value of bringing patience to each task, whether it's polishing boots or setting stones.

[@Anderbender]

I like a man that takes pride in his appearance and polishes his shoes. My late father was like that.

[@kimberleybrown3107]

Not just for appearance. If you don't oil leather shoes and you walk in the wet grass, they will soak up the water, dry out, crack, split open, and be ruined before you know it.

[@Anderbender]

@Kimberly Brown: Yes I do know that. My father was in the army. He trained at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst 👍🏻

[@RicSeabergsUseful-Information]

My mother always said taking good care of one’s shoes is “the mark of a man”. I tell my wife kiddingly as I polish mine that it should turn her on 😂

[@astridfortin433]

Being a Canadian of Dutch descent, this was a weekly ritual at home: polishing your shoes.

[@scarter8137]

My husband polishes his leather work boots! Love the smell 🤷🏼‍♀️

WOW THOSE POOR COWS AND THEM BELLS IT MUST DRIVE THEM CRAZY LOL BUT WHAT A PLACE YOU HAVE YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB MAY GOD BLESS YOUR HOME AND YOU AS WELL .

[@andreahunter7281]

I get drawn so far into these videos that when they end and I look outside I'm quite shocked to not see mountains!

[@soniamarieduguiawe9112]

I developed a habit of watching your videos after dinner to relax and to unwind after a day's work from school. Thank you Martijn. 🙏

[@nancyevans1278]

I'm at peace in the midst of a chaotic world when I watch your beautiful videos. It's wonderful to see that you are making great progress, and that you have occasional hands to help with your monumental task, which you accomplish one stone at a time.

[@greg1474]

Good morning Martijn. It is sort of ironic that the rest of Europe is on the cusp of a horrific energy crisis and shortage this winter. Natural gas and electricity will most likely be rationed, or not available at all for some periods of time. In many cases, energy prices have risen by 400% in some countries since 2020. Yet, you will be fine. By your own efforts, committment, ingenuity, and labor you have built yourself a self-sufficient homestead. You will be warm in your tent with that great Winnerwell stove, and have electricity through your solar. Thanks for letting us all share in your projects.

[@lottie2525]

I've just discovered your channel and have enjoyed binge watching all of your videos. What glorious mountains. I live in Norfolk in the UK, say no more ;)

[@chrisnorthey3715]

Probably not alone when the “thanks for watching” appear on screen, I feel a mixture of emotions, ranging from: do I really have to wait a while week to the next episode? What a stunning job you’re doing, the patience you have not to rush and botch the job, and the ever present -I really need to do something more interesting with my own life . Wanted to thank you for bringing us all our half an hour of perfect escapism which has enhanced all our lives. Thank you.

[@R-Texas]

I agree with your sentiments and very much on Martijn's way of living and thinking. He inspires me also to want to grab life and truley live it to the fullest. 🍁🍂🍁😊

[@martinv4914]

I never thought videos with so much hammering and whirring could be so relaxing

[@debereisinger3057]

Martijn, thank you so much for giving us a peek into your fabulous, peaceful life. I started my peaceful life 18 years ago. No regrets here! Cheers!

[@martinaaron609]

Poor dormouse! I had the same happen in my garden with a bucket of water. After that, I made a little ladder out of wire mesh which I leave in any other buckets. My partner thinks I'm mad but....

[@guillemclaret3931]

Martijn, I've got two of your books, now you are making these vídeos, this is so soothing... thank you. The vídeos are so beautifully and artistically put together, your manual labour is great... I really enjoy watching all the process and your life philosophy. Please, keep it up, I know it takes long... Thank you

[@sharonlacy1837]

Martijn, you are a jack of all trades and a master of all. I am amazed at all you do. Love your videos!

[@brycedolishny4138]

RIP Mr Dormouse I guess. Lovely video as always.

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

A very uplifting video, thank you. Great camera work and beautiful vistas.

[@CezarOutdoors]

In the last 4 days I have wached all your videos, starting with 2 years on the bike. Few months ago a friend told me about your channel but i didnt whach your videos until i discovered you by myself surfing on youtube. I live off the grid too, with no neibours at 1200m altitudide, like you but in Carpathin Mountains. You mention about Romania in a previous episode when you said about bears. Yes, i have alot of it were i live, and in the last november a bear distroy one of my beehive. I renovated a 80 years old wooden cabin and live in it for 2 and a half years. I dont bike but I do hiking, bushcraft and canoe trips. Wish you good luck and just know that i was very glad waching your videos. Two more months of working and winter is coming.

[@fraslavko1]

someone I watch in Colorado US, put up some inexpensive fencing that he can electrify with a small solar setup to cause a slight shock to invading bears who want to get to his beehives.

[@claudestuder4199]

Have you got a KZbin channel?

[@farmkay]

@@claudestuder4199 yes he has. Double click on his icon that should take you straight there.

[@carolking6355]

Once again, thank you. Sooo beautiful. I got very nostalgic watching you cooking. About 70 years ago as a child my Dad and I would take a couple of weeks in our hut by Lake Te Anau in New Zealand. The only shop a caravan and I would walk down our Manuka sided driveway for a swim in the icy lake before our breakfast. We had bunks and and an ancient coal range to cook on. The Bush was so beautiful. Now it is a small town with masses of buses bringing tourists to motels. How life changes. I am lucky to still live in the countryside. Tourists have not found us yet. My husband and I commuted to the city. Now he has passed and I bless you for your channel. I love your cycle book.

[@georgepeat5269iearth]

beautiful calm, another chapter passes along with peace. Thank you Martijn.

[@koselig7232]

You're living the dream! Thanks for being a true leader in today's day and age :)

[@R-Texas]

I agree with your leader comment! So many could learn from all he has to offer. His approach to life, his calm demeanor, his skills, his patience in learning..... 😊

[@sheilahenry7279]

My parents home is built of stones. We live in the south of the US in Mississippi but the stones are from Chattanooga, Tn. They gave an oversized fireplace that 2 different masonry worked on. It’s interesting the blinding of that fireplace. It covers 1 wall & the lower portion & right side us more unusual larger rounded stone. A section on the left is more layer onto of layer that arches into the other side. It matches yet doesn’t. Truly artists, as you. Each their own style.

[@millenniumeight396]

Hello Martijn, Greetings from sunny Florida USA. I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. After a long stressful day of working in the Healthcare IT field, watching your videos helps me to put down the burdens of the day and relax. You are living the dream my friend. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. God Bless!

[@JimmySlaughter]

I suspect wide growth of your KZbin channel may be a contributing factor in the interest and sales of the other properties on the mountain. A quiet life in a stone cabin, overlooking the valley is very attractive to a lot of people, and you are proving that it can be done, Martijn.

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

For not having a lot of stone laying experience, Martijn’s stonework is looking spectacular.

[@kimwhalley1807]

I have SO enjoyed almost a year of your wonderful videos Martijn! Can't wait for my Sunday meditation! At 16:16 looks like a black dog photo bombed you while you were diligently playing with your rock puzzle! Also, to clean the glass on your wood stove, a damp rag with some of the fine ash in your stove, cleans that right up. Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos with us all.

[@bernadettesingh6148]

That'll be one solid roof! Will last for a few hundred years 👌 Put your name and detials on a rock, just like you found a shoe in the wall. Few hundred yrs down the track, who knows someone like you would wonder who built that roof or repaired these historical cabins. The changing colours of the valley will only get more vibrant before it turns grey. ❤️ Thanks Martijn

I am retired from BMW manufacturing in South Carolina, their biggest plant. It is refreshing watching a craftsman take his time and do it right. Every process we did was time studied analyzed retime studied. You will really have a special place at your completion.

Had to look up that carved stone on your walk in the woods.. turns out it is a stanza from St Assisi's 'Cantico di Frate Sole' (Song of Brother Sun...) Laudato si’, mi’ Signore, per sor’aqua, la quale è multo utile et humile et pretiosa et casta. (Be praised, My Lord, for sister water, she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.) I assume that was a well....

[@R-Texas]

Thank you Valeria! I was very interested in the carved stone and what it says. What beautiful words and surely it must be a bountiful spring or well. Those mountains are full of wonderful history. I've fallen in love with the area! 💚

Hey Martjin, hope you catch this comment as I think it could be helpful. When cutting firewood for smaller pieces or kindling, grab a couple big bits and wrap them together with a bungie core or tie down strap and then chop. This technique keeps them all upright for you to chop to the size you want and also keeps your hands away from the axe. Love your work, also, I'm very much a fan of your boot care.
