The worst part of these videos is when they are finished. Thank you for not trying to sell anything, ask us to subscribe or donate anything. Your videos are a window into the calm, serenity and incredible beauty of your world and the amazing creativity, resourcefulness and talent to create your home in this almost sacred place.

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

well said ! I feel so calm and inspired every time I watch new episode

[@BlueberryGirl723]

Truth. People do not need to do the sales pitch of items, like, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and share speech several times in a video. I have unsubscribed to a few who every few minutes were doing this with a ringing bell sound as well. If people like what you do the videos sell and self promote the individual, their work, and items they sell. When they do the long speech at the beginning I skip it, at the end I click off. Self promotional for other companies within videos I skip them. There are more than enough ads as it is. This man’s videos are interesting, educational, and relaxing. His channel will grow, and his items will sell on their own.

[@lazaromanalo9486]

I really enjoyed watching the weekly development. Doing it alone is very difficult. Wonder why did you put another layer of wood around the deck. To me frame is very solid and stable. I think that addition is to catch the flooring. Im not a builder just curious. You have an amazing skill and doing it nice and quality of work is your priority. Beautiful!

I have cable tv with hundreds of channels, but there’s nothing I look forward to more every week than to spending Sunday evening watching the progress of one man quietly bringing a couple of farm buildings back to life. Beautiful to watch and sad when each episode ends.

[@dutchgram3799]

I agree. It is my pleasure to watch this channel.

[@tsilveira5866]

So well put Chris Northey.

[@Originalman144]

cable tv sucks. I haven’t owned a TV in 10 years. I subscribe to about 15 KZbin channels and I watch movies on streaming.

[@macnellietwo]

Yes. I feel the same way.

[@sandranatali1260]

I have 2 television sets, but it's been months since they were turned on. I'd rather watch channels like this one, watching the creativity of so many people, is far more interesting than any TV/Cable station.

[@RepairTherapy]

In a way you have created two homesteads, the real one and the virtual one here on KZbin and I can only thank you for that. You have never asked us to subscribe or for any donations, you just allow us into your quiet world and allow us to take part in it every week. I wish the best for you and look forward to your videos every week.

[@sussannakbrunllasc605]

I agree! grazie mille sono Gloria.

[@joshtheprune]

i've always had the idea that the 'subscribe please' begging is unnecessary, and you're right, this channel seems to prove that

I appreciate these videos so much. This guy has a “to do” list a mile long and works incredibly hard yet puts out beautiful, inspiring and awesome videos with no sponsors or advertising. This is my favorite KZbin channel!

True. We living in cities just for fews generations. But we still belong to nature, where we lived for million of years.

[@sandranatali1260]

Maybe you can find some sort of rack to fit inside of the Dutch oven to keep the dough off the bottom of the oven. I know I have to use a rack to make certain things in my instant pot. You may look into getting an instant pot, they are wonderful.

[@colinham9148]

Martjn, take a look at another channel Kris Harbour, natural living and see there are people out there with similar interests to you.

@Jack London hey thanks for explaining about Martin waiting for the roof permits, I was wondering why he was working on the decking! I thought to myself, it has to be some type of cabin to house the guests who will be helping him with the roof. That will be a BIG job. Its great that he has had a few people come to help and learn.

I wish I could have time like that and be relaxed to just take the time without rushing off to the next job.t

[@AnamCaraDressage]

I have found your channel right after you've posted your first video and it helped me so much with the decision to leave the city behind and turn back to nature where I have always been the happiest and look for a small house in Italy, Spain, Sweden or France - and now, while watching this video I can say my dream turned to reality! I have been so fortunate to find a small house with a gorgeous garden in Germany - and your advice at the beginning has helped me tremendously to take the leap and chase my dream...well, all I can say is THANK YOU a million times!!!❤

[@patricianathan4676]

Well done you, live a more content life and appreciate the wonderful gifts around, the sun, moon, air and nature, we all have the gift of free will, use it and be good.

[@lshwadchuck5643]

I like to be alone, like Martijn. I always longed to live alone in a remote place. The minute my sons left home I sped up my plan to semi-retire. I found a small house on 4 acres when I was 53. Like Martijn I managed to do some freelance artwork over the internet. I even blogged about it in those quaint pre-KZbin days. Twenty years later I'm contentedly growing old, watching beautiful, peaceful videos by people who would make great neighbours. I even have a famous KZbinr up the road.

[@Sunshine-ze3lm]

Watching Martijn's videos weekly is so therapeutic. It's like living a different life, away from the hustle and bustle of city, through him.

[@lindammoklahoma4205]

Each week your videos nurture my soul. I could go on and on with many words, but they have already been said by others - so I’ll just express a very warm, heartfelt thank you Martijn for all you do and share with us.

[@jaclynstewartoclair208]

I loved hearing the thunder, the birds and the cowbells.The cowbells reminded me of my trip to Switzerland many years ago. Great memories. Thanks for your beautiful videos.

[@ETRuT1]

I love the sound of the cowbells. I was fortunate to be at friends' in France - as far as I can work out, just west of Martijn's place - when the cattle came down from the summer pastures to overwinter in their barns. Amazing - once heard, never forgotten.

[@juditheisen3971]

Thank you so much for the videos...I love watching them. RE: baking bread in a 'dutch' oven...We used to heat the pot in the fire, then when we put dough inside, we'd remove it from the flame, put coals on top as you did, and wait...worked a treat!(no burned bottoms!).

[@jameswaterman2829]

So glad you didn't give up on the bread. With the wind conditions and different heat of your fire, looks like you're 90% of the way there with only three tries....good job !

I love all of your amazing work. Two points from someone who has lived in the woods for 21 years. If you don't put wire mesh around that deck (and dig it in) animals will move in (snakes, raccoons, mice, rats, etc ). Also, many people put moss between their patio stones because it is a low maintenance ground cover and it prevents weeds and grass from growing there. Keep up the great work!

[@jjudy5869]

And the mesh needs to be 1/4-inch(6.35mm) or less to keep the mice out.

[@Originalman144]

Agreed, even double-line the mesh with one of them stainless steel about 8-12 inches deep. They won't chew through the stainless steel.

But today you have exceeded my expectations :) You just bake bread. Without a scale, without much fuss. It clicked to me. Now I’m going to throw away all my complications and keep things simple! I don’t know why it’s so special today … but it doesn’t matter … the main thing is that I can feel it and that it works :) I‘m not used to writing englisch, but a „THANK YOU“ you will understand.

[@EarlyRiser--]

Each Martijn Doolaard video is an intimate entry into a part of his life creating a new homestead and he allows us to join in his meditative experience with the earth. From the sound of thunder and rain as clouds pour over the mountains, as the wind ripples through the trees as the sun appears, to the creation of a garden and the baking of bread in a Dutch oven over an outdoor fire to the tinkling of cowbells as a shephard directs his cattle up an Alpine road, Martijn is a master of cinematography and sound! The slow meditation of a life being lived in Mindfulness, he lets us encounter it with him. Thanks Martijn, in a world coming apart you show us how to sow peace and tranquility on this beautiful earth. Your efforts are healing and I am blessed to witness your efforts. 💞💞

[@diannevanalstine6378]

Watching you in this video reminded me of an old song referring to mountains as “ladies in the sky”. I thought to myself there is Martijn with his ladies watching over him. The way you capture their beauty makes me believe this must be so…especially the one shot from above overlooking your building site. I am very impressed with your willingness to show your failed attempts with the bread and that you kept on trying. I always have to watch each video more than once…they inspire me to go out and capture more of all that is basic and beautiful in life wherever I can find it. I am anxious to see what you get from your little vegetable garden. Wouldn’t miss a one of your productions.

[@Originalman144]

The framing for the tent is coming along really well! Amazing design! For the bread, number 3 looked great. To avoid the black bottom, think of the italian pizza oven method -- you want indirect heat, not direct heat right over the fire. Imagine a pizza dough or a calzone -- the heat is at the back of the oven and you place the pizza close to the fire and then rotate it. So for the stand that holds the pot, put it to the side of the flame and turn the pan a couple times during the cooking. Will be perfect!

[@andrewschwartz6895]

Almost a full 10 minutes before a word is uttered. I appreciate Martijn's respect for the creation around him to speak for herself and the work he is doing to speak for itself.

[@donnamullins2089]

Beautiful bread dough and you are not a novice. You could make yourself a welded metal trivet or use stones to elevate Dutch oven. Move Dutch oven out of the fire but place over hot coals. Add bread then add about 10 briquette around outer lip of the lid and a few in the center. See if that works for you. Always enjoy the aerial views. Deck is amazing can't wait for the tent.

[@Django44]

37:50: Your bread must be SO good with some olio drizzled over it; a meal in itself. Especially when the bread is still warm. Looks delicious!

I love this. I have a little bit of heartbreak when an episode comes to an end! I wanted a taste of bread!

[@raytheron]

Great video, Martijn! A hint from a South African used to baking "potbrood" on the coals: make sure you have no flames from the fire any more, just coals.

[@txgal2986]

Yes, I was going to tell him the same thing. The fire was too hot. However, putting coals on top was a good idea. Kudos to him for trying, though! The first loaf was beautiful. The last loaf looked perfect, except for the burnt part. I’m sure it was delicious! Anything you want to bake needs to be on, or around, coals, including pies, if you ever get that adventurous. Martijn, keep trying, because I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it. I absolutely love all your videos! I’ve been binge watching the last several days and I’m going to be sad, when I’ve caught up. Of course, I’ll be looking forward to the new ones!

[@jhana.2023]

For the second attempt at the bread🍞, raise the pan 1 inch, so it bakes without burning. But you have to put more stones around the fire so that the temperature is the same on all sides, thus forming an improvised oven. It will work out next time. kisses from Brazil🇧🇷

Watching your videos helps me think less, not over think the process. And enjoy the process. Thank you

Martijn, try using indirect heat to bake your bread. In other words, no coals directly below. Just around perimeter and on top.
