My New Life in September | Harvest, Snow and Mold

[@ingastern]

To be afraid of such a long winter is so normally. It is the hardest time, but if you have sun outside it is really helpful & a ofen for inside. I like your authenticity, that your are able to talk about real shit

[@patriciadavison1486]

I’m so glad you mentioned the beauty to be found in puddles, Daniel. I am your new subscriber from the UK and in my 70s! I LOVE to splash through puddles and look at the reflections of the sky and floating leaves too. Its something I have done since I was 4 years old and am still “at it” today - my husband used to walk with me and get quite irritated that I loved to get soaked and ‘act like a child’…he was a Police Officer and I think had no place for ‘the child within us all’ 😂…now I am alone I look at the sky and say, “YEP - I’m still enjoying myself”👌 Thank You for another beautiful video XXXX

[@DanielErik]

Wow, thank you for sharing! I love how you still enjoy the puddles!! 😍

[@Adri-oj3yt]

Daniel, I'm so thankful to have stumbled on your KZbin vlog. My heart warms and I relax when watching your videos and listening to your voice. It's soothing and relaxing. Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us. It surely is paradise. I could not thank you enough for sharing it with us.❤

[@DanielErik]

Wow, this warms my heart so much!! Thank you for such a sweet comment! It's comments like this that makes me want to continue making these videos! So thank you so, so much for being here, watching!! ❤️

[@afwifekari]

For the basement, get a dehumidifier and have someone come in and fog the basement to kill the mold. Otherwise it can cause you health issues. Your videos are beautiful!

[@josephschwartz5307]

The stories you share invite me to slow down and enjoy the quiet beauty I often miss day to day. The images in this video in particular are stunning, a tapestry of color and texture. Looking forward to see what the future holds for you (and us, your subscribers)

[@DanielErik]

That means so much! For others to be able to get some piece and quiet is one of my main drives when making my videos. So glad to hear I'm able to help you with that! 🙏🏻 Can't wait to share the next video! Have some exciting things to share, at least I think they are! ☺️

[@skywatcher5725]

I like your photography; the fog photos are ethereal and fascinating. The music you put with it is just right. As a child I lived in the woods and shared your appreciation of pools of water. I would carve little boats and watch them move with the flowing water. Frogs and bugs and water plants are intriguing. Nature is soul satisfying.

[@DanielErik]

Great to meet someone else who is fascinated with pools of water/puddles! Many people seem to hate the rain and when it's wet, but there's so much wonderful things with it as well! 🥰

Omg Daniel 23'15" of indescribable beauty not only because of what we are seeing but because of your poetic description of each image and each moment. I have no doubt that you will find a way to deal with the future challenges that winter presents and make them look easy in our eyes. Nothing is enough for someone for whom enough is too little. Thank you dear for this oasis of peace that you gave us in difficult times where we are witnessing horrors that we thought would never happen again. "....Don't ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for anyone of us" Love you.

[@DanielErik]

Always wonderful to read your lovely comments, Liliana! 💕 Don't know if I'll make the winter look easy... But I do believe I'll manage, at least! ☺️ I've just bought a snow blower, I realized I would never be able to shovel everything by hand! It's way too much! 😂 Oh yes, so many horrors we see today, that we thought would never happen again... 😢 I'm so thankful if I can make things easier for some, even if it's only for a few minutes. ❤️

Dear Daniel, I am late getting to this video but as usual I am not disappointed! You are so refreshing, genuine, and sincere! I wish I had a friend like you! I love hearing you describe even the most mundane activities! Most of the gay people I know are only interested in partying and have little appreciation for nature and simple living. Your videos deeply connect me with what I truly value and encourage me to stay true to my heart! Thank you so much!

The Autumn colours are just stunning. Those potatoes looked so good. In Australia is very normal to dry clothes outside. We're about to move in to an apartment so I've bought a portable clothesline that I can use inside to dry my clothes as it seems so wrong to put them into a dryer. That clip of you swimming in the fog was so magical. As were the drone shots. The epitome of slow living must be stopping to admire rain puddles 🙂.

[@DanielErik]

Oh yes, the colors right now are so pretty! 😍🍁 Glad to hear it's common to dry clothes outside in Australia, that's good for the environment! ☺️ Yes, I feel so lucky to be able to just stop for a while, take everything in and admire some puddles! 🙏🏻 Thank you for watching, as usual!

It's so true that growing our own food just have a different feeling to it. I don't have a big garden or something but growing those little things of daily use made me appreciate the vegetable I bought. As I hold them i thought of the hard work of people involved & the journey of that plant growing from the seed. Also I love how real you are that you share the issues you are facing & the difficult aspects of living here. I hope you can be resilient & accepting of the hard parts. Sending you much love from India.

I like fog. Particularly at this time of year, it rolls in off the sea and sometimes stays for several days, then it disappears. I like to walk through the trees when it's foggy. It can be quite atmospheric.

[@RT3319]

Daniel, beautiful photography as usual. The mold/fungus thing concerns me, deeply..! When I was teaching school, we had severe water damage inside the school building. Molds of various types began to grow, people became very ill. I ended up having to take 1 1/2 years off from my job. It took about 8 years for most of the symptoms to go away. So, please, as I'm sure you are already aware, mold/fungus inside a building can be very dangerous to your health. Exposed to it long enough, it can actually kill you (hypersensitivity pneumonitis) - a microscopic disintegration of the lungs. Once it starts to form in the lungs, it's very difficult (sometimes impossible) to stop.. So, do be careful, dear lad... As always, all the best from Yakima, WA., USA.

[@DanielErik]

Omg, this sounds absolutely HORRIBLE!! 8 years for the symptoms to go away?! Thank you for the information! I will definitely have this in mind!! And I hope you feel 100% like yourself again! 💕

[@tommyandpeter]

Hi Daniel 😊 You are right, it is so much better to have your own vegetables and fruits. Your potatoes look great! And all the jams too (we don't have lingonberries here 😕). We always dry our clothes outside, it's nice unless it's winter 😀 Crossing the fingers that it's "just" mold, haha 😀 We poured bacteria in our outhouse and they decompose what's there. Just a tip 😉

[@DanielErik]

It really is better! You should know, with your huge, beautiful garden! 😍 Too bad you guys don't have lingonberries though! Oh, bacteria for the outhouse! That's smart!! Thank you for the tip! 💕

[@snortfx]

If you have cranberries where you live, lingonberries are quite similar to cranberries. I have had lingonberry sauce as a substitute for cranberry sauce with thanksgiving dinners and it was very good as well. Live in Canada, so cranberries are very common.

I just discovered you a few days ago, have watched a few of your videos since (I've got some catching up to do!), and I find you incredibly endearing, in the stories that you tell, but more importantly, in the way that you tell them. I live in Ottawa and am considering leaving the city for a a more rural setting, so all of this resonates well with me, as do the hints of naturism that I've seen to date. Looking forward to discovering you further...!

[@patricketcaleb]

Magnifique 👍👍❤ Pat et Cal C'est ll'heure exquise et matinale Que rougit un soleil soudain. À travers la brume automnale Tombent les feuilles du jardin. Leur chute est lente. On peut les suivre Du regard en reconnaissant Le chêne à sa feuille de cuivre, L'érable à sa feuille de sang. Les dernières, les plus rouillées, Tombent des branches dépouillées ; Mais ce n'est pas l'hiver encor. Une blonde lumière arrose La nature, et, dans l'air tout rose, On croirait qu'il neige de l'or. - Arthur Rimbaud It's the exquisite morning hour That a sudden sun blushes. Through the autumn mist Fall the leaves from the garden. Their fall is slow. You can follow them with your eyes, recognizing The oak with its copper leaf, The maple with its blood leaf. The last, the most rusty, Fall from the bare branches; But it's not winter yet. A blond light waters Nature, and, in the rosy air, You'd think it was snowing gold.

[@DanielErik]

That was a beautiful one! Thank you for sharing it with us! ☺️

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

I love your "puddle" moments. The leaves resting on the skin of the water, the trees mirror. So tranquil.

[@kevingunderson7381]

Hi Daniel - I missed seeing you last week! Glad to see that everything is going well, despite the fact that you’ve been having to haul laundry & shit😉 Although an inconvenience, I would assume those are inconsequential compared to the health & wellness benefits you’ve shared in this video. I’ve heard of inexpensive small portable washing machines that are made for tiny spaces that might be an option for washing your clothes during the winter months. You can hang dry above your wood burner as well. I loved seeing the harvest from your garden & would have to agree there is nothing better than home grown foods! ~ All the best my friend! ❤

[@DanielErik]

Nice to hear I've been missed! 🥰 Oh yes! The laundry and poop situation is nothing compared to how I fel living in the city! Sure, the hardest part hasn't even started yet... But I still think I'll say the exact same thing even when winter is over! ☺️ I might actually look up one of those washers! The biggest problem about that though, is that I really shouldn't spend any more money... Just bought myself a snow blower! ❄️ But I will definitely hang my clothes above the the wooden stove! 😍 As usual, thank you so much for watching, Kevin! It means so much! ❤️

[@Vince_uk]

Daniel, I have grown to love your channel, it is wonderful in so many different ways. Absolutely Charming. The main charm is that you are so natural and surrounded by beauty. I admire your choices. You seem to be coping very well indeed and are totally relaxed and at peace with your life. You look radiant. Make sure you are prepared for the Winter to come, I look forward to your future videos. I love blueberries and blueberry jam, Can you post the spelling for that washing product please? Clothes dried outside smell wonderful and fresh and the freshness stays with the clothes a long time. You want a dehumidifier but they are expensive to run. Fog is mysterious and magical I agree. You could possibly in the future look into the feasibility of a toilet that uses coconut bricks as a medium. There are two Dutch guys on KZbin who live in a van who use that method inside the van . Just a suggestion.

[@DanielErik]

Oh, Vince! I don't know what to say! This means soooo much to hear! Absolutely thrilled that you enjoy what I do! It warms my heart! ❤️ The thing I washed my clothes with is called "såpa"! If I use Google translate for it, it just says soap. But it's not regular soap, so don't listen to Google Translate! 😅 Hope that's helpful! And thank you for your suggestion! I'm gladly taking all the suggestions I can get! ☺️ Hope you'll have a beautiful week, Vince! 💕

Hey Daniel, I'm catching up with your latest videos right now, got two more to watch!😊 Thank you for sharing your new life with us and also some of the "negatives" and struggles that come with it, it makes it really authentic. Growing my own food is also one of my dreams, unfortunately I don't have a garden, but growing some tomato plants in pots this year was a first success. Lately, I dream of homesteading someday, I want to grow lots of food and have all kinds of animals around me and just take care of everything every day... I hope I can live this way someday, but right now, I don't see the next steps to move towards my dream life, feeling quite lost again, not knowing how to get there 😐 I hope it's "just" mold in your basement, but even that can be such a pain to deal with. I speak from own experience, because I have a basement apartment in an older house, and mold forms quite easily here, I had just found some small spots in the corners of my bedroom and the kitchen 😢 I guess it has just been too moist from the many weeks of constant rain we had here... And now that it's getting much colder, with the first frost and snow the next days (quite early for where I live, even if it will melt away again and be mixed with rain), I can feel the cold leaking in if I put my hand on the window and door frames 🙈 I'm getting really excited about seeing snow here as well for the first time and I hope it will motivate me to pick up filming again, I have not been well enough for it lately, very difficult times. I have the same fascination with puddles and their reflections, this was so relatable haha 😂 I always stop and watch them too!! I will watch your other new videos now as well, I already saw in the title that you met Jonna Jinton, which is so amazing!! Also, I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown in the last months❤

[@DanielErik]

Oh, how wonderful that you grew your own tomatoes! That's something I want to try next season - but they're hard to grow here because of the cold climate! I'm sorry to hear you're feeling lost again, that can't be fun at all. I really hope things turn around for you soon! ❤️ Nice to hear someone else also love puddles, haha! They're just so pretty!! 😍

Just having experienced fall here where I live, I can appreciate what beauty you are showing us. The colors here are not as brilliant as what you have, mostly due to the types of trees we have. I did however see more color this past weekend, where I sold art at a festival and was outside to feel the brisk air. I can’t wait to get back home though, and get into my studio so I can be warm again. You seem to have a grasp of natural beauty, and capture it on film very well! Some images are inspiring to me as an artist, and makes me want to paint those scenes. Even the shots with you in them are lovely as well. You should be proud that you compliment nature when you are together. Ah the bad things we have to do in life. I may make a suggestion…add sawdust to your outhouse every time you go. It helps reduce the smell, and also covers the stuff that is not pleasing to the eyes. The sawdust helps with composting too, which will reduce the look and smell of the waste. As I’ve said before, I’m not a huge fan of the cold, but I love the snow, and I have embraced the fall this year because life has been changed for me. I look at things much different from last year, and it has helped me with so much that every day is special. The fact that you have taken on this new life, with its positive notes, as well as the not so positive moments, is a testament to your character. You seem content, happy, and full of life. That is something special. Oh and as for the potatoes, it has been said that gathering all the potatoes at once, then putting them in a cool dry place will keep them from rotting. If left in the soil, they may rot quicker. Just food for thought. Thank you for sharing, as you know I am a fan of your videos, and enjoy what you show us. Keep up the good work! Be well!❤❤

Oh, how fun that you were out selling your art!! I hope it all went well! 🥰 Aww, thanks! I'm so thankful to have people like you watching, who really appreciate what I do! I'm so lucky! 💕 How amazing wouldn't it be if you painted from some of my scenes! Wow! Haha! ☺️ Yes, I've been thinking about something like sawdust actually! That's definitely something I'll have to look into! Oh, I'm so glad to hear that you have a more positive view this year! What has changed, making you look at things differently? Ugh, I keep hearing different things about the potatoes! Some say like you, some say they're best stored in the soil! I guess I'll just have to see and figure that out myself, since so many say different things! 😂 Thank you for your input, though! 💕 As usual, thank you so much for watching!! Wishing you a wonderful, beautiful fall! ❤️

[@XanBos]

@@DanielErik Yes I see a lot of scenes that inspire me to paint, even a few with you in them. Would always want approval before I do anything like that. Yes, the art show went well and very productive! It’s wonderful to hear loving comments about my art, but better still that they buy my art too. The potatoes issue is somewhat a controversy, so yes try what works best for you. There is nothing better than finding out the best way to do something, then have it do what you intended! The reason my outlook on life is different, is because almost a year ago I wound up in hospital, and died three times and was brought back to life. Now every moment is precious to me, and I just feel like I want to be in the moment instead of letting life pass me by. I didn’t know dying would cause me to live that much more! I’m for sure going to enjoy fall, and I hope you enjoy your new life as well. Remember that it is best shared with someone special. ❤️❤️

[@DanielErik]

You have my approval to paint whatever you like from my videos! 🥰 What, you almost died? THREE TIMES?! That's horrible!! 😔 What a traumatic experience. I can really understand why you have another perspective now then. So if trying to look at it from a positive perspective, it's good that that was the outcome of it all. 💕 But I hope you never have to go through that ever again! And that you have a happy, healthy life here on out!! 🙏🏻❤️

[@XanBos]

@@DanielErik yes, the truth of it from what the doctors said was that I died and they brought me back. I was gone for a total of 8 1/2 minutes. But now with some meds, exercise, and careful eating, I’m back! So I appreciate every day that I’m alive. That’s why I love watching your videos, because I feel you appreciate life, and what is around you. Oh, and thank you for your permission…I will find a way to show you the results of my paintings from your inspiration! ❤️❤️

[@DanielErik]

@@XanBos 8 and a half minutes?! Wow. Just wow. Did you get any damages from being dead for that long? Other than the physiological trauma, I mean? Either way, I’m glad you survived!! ❤️

Sobre la letrina, en México se utiliza la cal y de esa forma, los residuos se van desintegrando. Aunque habría que conocer el tipo de letrina, para saber si son como las de aquí de las zonas rurales. Un reto vivir en la naturaleza. 😅 Te imaginé paseando popo. 😂

[@DanielErik]

Oh, you can use lime? I didn't know that! Unfortunately too expensive here, and not environmental to import... So I'll have to find another solution! 😅

[@alexanderallan215]

Hello Daniel, my first question is about the house. Is it winterized , do you have a plan if you loose power, what about getting food , if you are snowed in? Do you access solar power? I really want you to be safe. Your videography is quite good, I’m always transported, when I watch your videos. I have another question, it’s about Stockholm. I saw on line , that there is a big problem with migrant gangs. So much so , that they are calling in the military to bring order. They even said ,they will begin to deport migrant gang members. Have you heard this , or experienced any problems. Stay safe & warm , Mr Viking. ❤

[@DanielErik]

Were good questions! The house itself is winterized, and the few times I've been up here during earlier winters, it has felt like the house hold the warmth pretty good! I hope I can say that after this winter too! 😅 However, the barn is not winterized! So all the water in the barn will freeze. And that will make it MUCH harder for me when it comes to laundry, taking a shower etc! I do not have solar, that's an investment I might do if I ever buy my own house (since this is my parents). And I buy quite a lot of groceries when I'm near a store, so I can last quite a while if I would get snowed in! ☺️❄️ Thank you so much, it warms my heart to hear that I can transport you somewhere else through my videos! ❤️ About the gangs... Yes, it's true that we have huge problems with that right now. Basically, there's two gangs in war with each other. However, I do not agree with what some are saying, about it being immigrants fault. What I see, is a welfare state that is slowly but steadily being defunded. We have lowered the taxes here for decades now, and let the school suffer because of it. A few decades ago, Sweden had the best school in the world. And this is not something I'm just saying, every major study about different countries school system said that Swedens school system was the best. Both because the education itself, but also because the school were able to see which kids could potentially go down a bad path. And then the schools helped that kid back on track. Today, our school system can't do that to the same extent anymore. This is because they don't have enough money anymore, because of the lowered taxes. So this is, at least partly, a "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" problem. When these kids don't see any future, they start leaning towards a criminal career. This usually do happens for immigrants, yes. Because they are often poor to begin with. A few decades ago, we had a society that helped them on the right track. But those systems have now been drastically defunded. However, this is a very complex question with several different answers. This is definitely not the only one, there's many more that could and should be discussed. But that would be a way too long comment! 😅 But from what I can see, this is one of the major problems to why we now have problems with gangs. I hope my answer makes any sense! 😂 Wishing you a wonderful new week! 🥰

[@alexanderallan215]

@@DanielErik Thank you so much, for answering my question. I have gained information, I didn’t have before. I think you have only just begun, to discover all of your talents. I think you will even surprise yourself. ❤️

[@DanielErik]

Aww, thank you! ❤️ You're gonna make me cry, you're so sweet!

[@savingsiskola]

You can also make biodigradable detergent with horse chestnuts that contain ”saponiner”. I made a video about it. We put lingonberry jam on spinach pancakes. 😊👍

[@DanielErik]

I've read about those! I have missed your video about it though! I have to check it out!! So you also want to do your laundry environmental friendly? 💕

[@savingsiskola]

@@DanielErik yes! My son has quite sensitive skin so too much chemicals is not good. #27 is the video but this year there were very few horse chestnuts probably because there was way less bees 😞

[@DanielErik]

@@savingsiskola sorry to hear he has such sensitive skin. Glad this can be a solution then! But sad about the bees… they’re getting fewer and fewer each year, it feels like.

[@javierjuanolivares5702]

Gran vídeo. 👏 Hoy aprendí que cultivas papas y recolectas "blueberries". Además de que lavas la ropa con un producto 100% biodegradable. 😮 Aunque te ves algo triste. 😔 Apenas voy a la mitad del vídeo. 😅 Pero comento antes de que se me olvide lo que voy entendiendo.😊

[@DanielErik]

Javier, thank you! But no, I'm not sad! I've had a really good time lately! 🥰

I'm new to your channel and havn't caught up completely. Your videos are so artistic and beautiful. I don't want to open up old wounds but I am curious how you met Alex? You 2 seemed so right for each other. Keep on filming and I'll keep on watching.

[@DanielErik]

Oh wow, I’m so glad to hear you think this of my videos! 🥰❤️ Of course you can ask that! We actually met online, right around Covid! So to be able to see each other was hard - but we always managed! 🥰 I’m so glad we’re still friends! Wishing you a beautiful weekend!! 🥰

@@jlegner8800 I don’t have a new man, no. I would love to find a new boyfriend, but I’m also in no hurry. It has to be and feel 100% right! For money, I have some Patreons who support my work, which I’m eternally grateful for! ❤️ And I also get some revenue from KZbin. The total is not much though, I make a few $100 a month right now. But I’m soooo grateful for what I do get! 🙏🏻❤️

Lingonberry jam and potatoes. This is wild for me. Have you eaten at Ikea. Are you Swedish?

[@DanielErik]

Yes, I'm Swedish! I live in the Swedish countryside! 🇸🇪🥰 Potatoes and lingonberry jam is one of our most traditional dishes! 😄

[@Брюнет-к2в]

​​@@DanielErik😂, Maybe someday I will nderstand this taste 😂😂

[@mirkok.6906]

How do the Swedish in the northern part of your country protect their waterpipes against freezing? Your neighbours for instance. Best wishes from Germany! 😉

[@DanielErik]

That's a really good question that I don't have a good answer to! 😂 I can only speak for myself, and the water in the kitchen doesn't freeze because the pipes are borrowed so deep underground, and then goes up through our basement. And it's always around +3°C down there, all year, due to the heat from earth. That's why it's not freezing here! The water in the barn however, freezes very easily! And that's why I don't have a shower during winter! 😭

[@mirkok.6906]

​@DanielErik Maybe you'll learn more within the upcoming weeks and months. I just wondered. Hence, the question. 😊

[@mirkok.6906]

Since you want to move anyway, this question may be irrelevant.

[@NorthStarPNW]

Daniel, thank you for sharing your beautiful and meaningful vlog about your life journey. I encourage you to watch the extraordinary movie "Into The Wild," which is based on the book about the true-life story of Christopher McCandless, a young American who rejected a middle class life and (after college) took off on a journey 'into the wild' to Alaska, to live life on his own terms. Much like you are doing. It's a powerful story about inner strength and living with conviction.

[@DanielErik]

I love that movie!! Now I feel like I should watch it again! ☺️

[@Брюнет-к2в]

Hello! Yes, sometimes I actually almost have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming or not! Today I went to the mountains, and to have them so close is everything I could have dreamt of! 🥰 May I ask what language you speak?
