Everything and anything except a fence to keep his chickens safe apparently 😑 Bruh is seemingly just waiting until a 2nd chicken becomes nuggets for the next wild dog before he finally does something about it, because it seems like he has done basically anything but starting that fence since he last mentioned the chicken attacks.

Nate, you need to get Martijn into your podcast!

I so agree @nathanieldrew, in all the episodes of his Italy story, I’ve only once seen Martijn chuck away a pickaxe that broke, while swearing in Dutch! Indeed, the ugly parts don’t even come into this story!

Yes! He takes care of his health, lets his brain air out and enjoys all of nature.

Yes agree. Since not many people around me anymore, I get real pleasure reading the comments and chatting. He truly is bringing we Citizens of many Countries a comforting togetherness. Much needed right now.

[@TheRasiani]

I think what I love most about these videos is the patience and detail in everything that he does. It's such a unique vibe in the 21st century.

[@Choppini]

@TheRasiani Many people (incl. me) have the attitude: if I do it, why not doing it right or even perfect? I personally do not start any task or important job when I am not sure that I am in the mood or have the time to do it properly. Having to look at a crooked job, or having to re-do something because it looks 'meh' is a nightmare for me. It fills me with so much peace watching Martijn doing everything he does with patience and I guess passion as well. Unfortunately, the majority of people have the attitude "oh well, that's good enough for now!", as observed uncounted times, and also heard from skilled people, just to save time. But then, improving the 'good enough for now-work' never happens...

[@nullobject7966]

​@Choppini i don't think striving for perfection is healthy, in my own experience. Patience and passion go a long way though.

[@LennonZA]

Martyn, Your weekly uploads from the Italian mountains offers me a moment to contemplate my life and the aspirations I hold for my family. However, I must admit that there are times when I find myself restless, unable to sit still, as I watch the leisurely pace at which you work. It has taken me months to understand why I feel this way-that my frustration stems from my tendency towards seeking immediate gratification, a craving for that dopamine rush that comes from swiftly finishing tasks and moving on to the next. I know I'm not alone in this, having been raised with the shared belief that we must work tirelessly and mindlessly from the moment we open our eyes, for fear of being labelled 'lazy' or holding a lesser place in society. Interestingly, what frustrates me is also what draws me to your content: your ability to have broken free from the relentless "go, go, go" mentality that so many of us find ourselves caught up in. Your approach serves as a refreshing reminder to appreciate progress without fixating solely on speed or magnitude of accomplishments-a valuable lesson that I've been increasingly embracing since discovering your channel. I think I speak for all of your viewers when I say "Superbedankt" for sharing your journey with us and reminding us what it means to be human. ✌

[@CChan11]

Watching the chickens get so excited and then follow you down the hill made my morning 😂

[@duncanfrere2656]

"I cannot build it myself because I am not a craftsman, on paper." But you are a master craftsman on video! Would it not be possible to get certified as an able craftsman due to the level of craftsmanship you routinely exhibit? The proof is in that absolute jewel of a cabin, the fit and finish of which is a testament to your abilities!

[@jinnygunnar]

There must be some way to proficiency in to the title of craftsman. No one could possibly deny that he is a Master.

[@veronicaroach3667]

It's the local authority's method to stop the sprouting up of sloppy buildings everywhere, but sad that Martin might not be allowed to do the building. Plus I guess it supports employment for Italian craftsmen too so that's a good thing !

[@sdqsdq6274]

he already got a prefect building right next it , clear the trash inside and use it as guest house or something , the renovation already will take a year , lol

[@albertogazzani]

Probably he needs a “Geometra” to sign the project. In Italy everything about buildings is very restricted for the ones who follow the fair way.

[@Choppini]

@duncanfrere2656 In Europe in general, these are REAL professions, where you either HAVE to make an apprenticeship and will be certified in a day-long exam at the end of the few years, or get a university degree. I know, because I have more than one certification. Not like in North America for example. I immigrated to Canada, where everybody is 'skilled' and has a business, advertising 'many skills', can do EVERYTHING, but nobody really checks if they CAN do their job properly, they just get a business license and TADAA!. If there are too many complaints, they close the business and vanish. Europe is (fortunately) 'still' different, and people have in general no problem with rules, which protect usually consumers and their safety.

Thanks for teaching a whole generation that you don't need to be an expert when you start a project. You do the research and give it a try. I grew up watching my parents make things, do things they'd never done before. Yes, sometimes you need to rethink it, but if you keep trying, you'll get it. Your flower box is absolutely gorgeous. After the cold snap on Monday, I hope the warmer weather is there to stay. Have a good week, Martijn.

[@mgrizz2386]

@veeveeleo9713 unfortunately the black chicken was taken, by a dog i think, a while back. That's when the white lost her tail which has now grown back.

[@dyer2cycle]

I think chickens are smarter than they are given credit for...I think we are taught they are "dumb" to make us feel better about eating them....

[@SceneArtisan]

Martijn, from my own experience with my grandmother's flowerboxes, the all-wooden design needs to have holes drilled in the bottom. It helps prevent the wood _and_ flowers from rotting. Also a thin layer (1" or so) of soil-sand [mix] at the base can also help with drainage. Drill/cut half a dozen medium sized holes and place some broken pottery or stones to partially cover them to prevent the soil washing out.

Your final scene is like a Winslow Homer painting. The video is so beautiful---I often feel as if I am there also. What a pie!

magic - a clap of the hands and the fire blazes. I love the 2 chicks

He's a great influence. I love the way he takes care of himself. The cooking he does is also inspiring. He grounds me every Sunday morning. What a guy!

Martijn, I find your videos short. I feel so good watching them, and they give me so much peace and relaxation, that I wish they were longer. Congratulations and thank you very much, my friend.

[@joycegronenthal2560]

Yes seems like the video is so short. I could watch him for hours

Your trees are in a similar state as ours in the Highlands of Virginia. Big dollops of lime green decorating the hillsides with a promise of spring. And, like you, a cold spell has interrupted its progress. It is so good to see the green again, though, and the forest floor blooms with wildflowers. I read trees smell so good because they absorb years of starlight. There is certainly a sweetness that rises in the evening air, and at dawn to hear the birds again is bliss. Hugs to you for all your beautiful accomplishments. Much love ❤️

Hey Martijn, you're now and have been for a while, my Sunday morning coffee ritual. Thank you!

[@mikegrier2829]

Another wonderful Sunday morning thanks to Martijn. It’s now 8am here, so it’s time for another coffee. And, yes, I will make it in my mocha pot, which I 100% bought because Martijn uses one. 😅 I have to say that it makes a wonderful tasting brew.

Bees makes me think of honey! Beautiful Sunday morning!

From discovering Martijn on his bike journey to watching Martijn transform the land, and cabins is beautiful and heartwarming. Thank You for Sharing~

[@user-yw8eg8tm3d]

Your a magician,too. Starting your oven fire with a mere hand clap was impressive. 😮

[@juliaconway5866]

Once again, started a Sunday with beautiful scenery and a content man. Love the green of spring with birdsong and breeze, and snow still. Grand fire pit, nice flower box, great looking food, and your very appreciative fowl pals! Have a good week with the expected weather. Looking forward to hearing about it next Sunday.

[@MarquesRomeu]

That flower box is realy beautiful! Gorgeous walk scenes in the end too ❤

[@andredutoit1131]

The interior of Martijn's stone house is getting very cozy 👋. I also like Martijn lying on his favorite look out rock in his Clint Eastwood Cowboy Hat 🤣. The Flower Box is magical and I love the Fire Pit and home made Curtains. Until next week xxx

[@fiberbeads]

Thank you for sharing those gorgeous spring green colors with us this week! I am looking forward to seeing the flower box filled. I love the fire pit!
