[@Diego_Leon]

Hello, this is amazing , you two are doing an amazing job. congratulations

[@marizramos8619]

Youve created an amazing place ❤❤❤

[@Duur4Life]

I was looking for passive solar greenhouses, because I have an off-grid old farmhouse in Saaremaa as well, and somehow came across your channel (because the channel name was somewhat familiar). Already loving the clay plaster and the number of windows on your cabin, so most likely going to use your channel for a bit of inspiration in the future as well. Good luck!

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Such a coincidence! Where are you located in Saaremaa? And what kind of energy you use for your off-grid situation? :) Lovely to see you here, hope it can give some inspiration to you.

[@Duur4Life]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Located in Laimjala. And actually we don't use any energy there. I'm planning to set up solar panels this year or maybe the next. As we only live there for some short period in the summer - it should suffice. Although i've been thinking about wind energy as well, since we are very close to the sea, but it seems more costly.

[@loreneknight9755]

It's so interesting to watch your progress. The struggles, the weather, your limitations, the victories, yet always willing & learning. Thanks for letting us tag along.😊

[@odulcina]

You did amazing in a year! That is really good!

[@5203mhr]

You are amazing narrator of your story very well and to the point, very inspirational to me

[@verldopia]

I'm also from Belgium, we are looking to buy an off-grid home in southern Estonia, glad i found your channel

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Hi Michiel! who, that's great to hear. There is another Belgian guy here on the island with the same name ;) You can always reach out if you have off-grid related questions! Are you planning to build out a homestead as well, growing food and keeping animals?

[@verldopia]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Wow, I did not see the notification of your answer, so my wife and I bought a property southeast of Viljandi last week! Renovations will happen in summer, we will indeed be growing food and keeping animals. Probably will try to film it too. :D Very excited.

[@mgoldfield5821]

Laura, my husband and I love your videos. It is very inspirational to watch your progress! So much done in just a year. Your garden is phenomenal. Cheers from your friends and fellow gardeners in New York! Viva viibemaa

[@christinelanham1936]

I'm really enjoying your videos...so addictive...I love the gardening..and the print making and the building. I love all you do. I'm an artist too.

[@rumyanakoprinkova3295]

The slopes are perfect for 3 sisters - corn, beens and pumpkin.

[@GardenForaged]

I love the update video. I can wait to see what you both can accomplish on the next year. I'm also turning my home into a food forest 😊

[@ellentaylor4351]

Whenever somebody puts the the word Paradise into google search, they should be sent straight to your youtube channel.

[@BrendaLelie]

Ongelofelijk wat jullie allemaal gedaan hebben in een jaar!! Hopen jullie deze winter al in het nieuwe huis te kunnen wonen?

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Ik hoop alvast dat ik daar kan koken deze winter! Maar ik denk wel dat we het gaan afwerken in de loop van de winter en erin gaan wonen in de vroege lente ergens, als alles goed gaat :)

[@BrendaLelie]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living ik hoop voor jullie dat dat gaat lukken! Zo'n buitenkeuken klinkt romantisch, maar toch niet midden in de winter denk ik 😊

[@BrendaLelie]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living misschien is het trouwens een idee om een term als off grid of slow living in de titel van jullie kanaal te verwerken om beter gevonden te worden op KZbin. Want ik denk dat jullie video's voor veel mensen heel waardevol zouden zijn. Dus zoiets als Viibemaa - living off grid in Estonia. Ik hoop dat jullie kanaal zal groeien en jullie er misschien ook wat inkomsten uit kunnen halen!

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

@@BrendaLelie ik volg je advies bij deze op! Merci om mee te denken !:)

[@danrussell04]

Hi, I love your channel I watch it for hours when I'm off work. You have a beautiful life and it's so great that you are sharing that with us. I have to ask a question and excuse my ignorance please. How does the seaweed not introduce salt to the ground when you use it for mulch in your garden? Do you have to rinse it? Or is it not an issue?

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Thank you for watching! Water in the baltic sea doesn't have a high salt content + we take it home after a rain so it is rinsed properly :)

[@luckyhomestead]

Thanks for video. Did Jonas fully recovered? Is he ok now? And just a suggestion, if you want more subscribers, unfortunately you need more videos. It means way more work on that. You need at least one video a weak if you want that youtube's algorithm found you...

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Hi! Yes Jonas is doing great :)Thanks for the suggestion.! Too much time on the screen for me to make a video a week :p

[@luckyhomestead]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living That is exactly why I don't have illusions about my channel groin and make videos just for history and for fun :)

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

@@luckyhomestead Will be great to look back at those video's one day!

[@antoinewicquart225]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living You still reach a random French expat living in Tallinn :) do you think it'd be possible to come visit your place some day if we go for a small hike trip in Saaremaa?

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

@@antoinewicquart225 Haha that's great ! Sure, you're welcome to visit, let us know when you plan to come the island :)

[@natthakrittamisiri8992]

How do you find the land? I do not know how to. Could you please share with me🌝

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

we mostly checked www.kv.ee when looking for properties here in Estonia
