Our first Year as Parents on an Off the Grid Homestead

I’m so happy that Ivar has his Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles, and cousins nearby with which to play. Ivar is the cutest baby, so helpful already, at his age. You two are absolutely wonderful parents!

Ivar is such a beautiful baby boy like his parents! May God Bless you in a special way this year! Love from Florida, USA

[@jodybruch829]

I am surprised it really is a simple mixture.

[@annasluka6708]

Children are such a blessing! My little boys love watching Ivar. We raise ours in a similar way. They eat what we eat and help us with our projects. I love the wool diaper covers, and clothes. We wash them in a wash tub, sometimes outside. I didn't toilet train my boys until they were toddlers, but started training my girl at 5 months and wouldn't do it any other way. She's 11 months old, and uses the bathroom more constantly than her 2.5 year old brother! Baby #4 will be trained from day one! Keep up the good work!!!

[@tonylim7685]

What surprises me a bit in the video you have made is that you have chosen to use firewood asa cooking & heating device. Have you guys ever used wood charcoal to make a fire? Have you guys ever used charcoal powder as toothpaste to whiten your teeth?

[@lindarothchild6930]

What a great idea for Ivar's body suit - one piece so everything inside is still clean and he is dry. That way he can crawl around on the ground.

[@jodybruch829]

I agree, noticed right away!

[@DB-pm2vy]

I made one of these for my daughter 50years ago for when we went camping. UK in August is a wet experience. I bought a cotton backed plastic I believe so she could crawl at 10 months. Probably was a Simplicity pattern. Getting children dry at a year is all about training the parents rather than the child. We all had to learn how before washing machines and nappies were soaked then boiled in a bucket on the stove...😏😏

One can tell how healthy Ivar is by looking at his rosy cheeks and shining eyes. I don't have a single worry about how you two are raising him! Other people should see how healthy he is, and refrain from complaining about it. Keep living your dream until it stops working for any of you, and hopefully it will never stop.

What a pleasure to see young Iver helping with handling the firewood! He is so peaceful and well-adjusted and filled with wonder about the world around him. This is a stellar example of what pure food and no television will produce at the hands of responsible parents.

[@eddiewalker7252]

I was adopted by Finnish parents, what many of your viewers don't know there is an inner toughness that is their birthright. Just look at the map....and yet they survive by strength, resourcefulness and high intelligence! Surprisingly their optimism and humor surpasses all. In the US my Grandfathers built Bridges, Ships and boats that are still around today as magnificent works of art! And yes I grew up taking wood-fire saunas, I tell my friends I'm a true Black Finn. Both Grandmothers grew to the age of 93' . Thank you for sharing your world! #RaisedByWolves #FutureMMAWorldChamp #Multanen

The talk about the windows makes me realized even though I have a degree and I'm a teacher, I really don't know anything about life, idk how to build my house, how to harvest my own food or how live a sustainable life. I feel like I'm missing so much important lessons and experiences in my reality. Things shouldn't be soooo hard and complicated right? As Tova said: "why would it be? People have been living likes thing for hundreds of years" it's is so true!

I'm very impressed with how well Ivar does with the animals, and how well the animals are doing with him. The baby looks like he's doing just fine, in fact he seems to be thriving. Can't believe how fast the last year has passed, seems like he was a baby yesterday, but really he's a toddler and seems to be wanting to walk and play. What a wonderful life he's been able to experience. You are such wonderful parents, it's been a pleasure to see the little bits of your life together. Thank you.

[@moniquevelasco20]

Being in the middle of this totalitarian nonsense, it's good to know that you are where you are, able to live on your own, and passing on your knowledge to the next generation...people always worry about socialisation (I always get that kind of remarks because we homeschool our son), but I think they never realised that actually in our "modern" times people are getting literally crazier and they all attend school and "socialize" all the time...a natural way of life in a sane family can be the best socialisation of the world...God bless you

Yes, he‘s going to be free-ranging, but he will also know his boundaries very well, because he was allowed to explore them from very early on. He‘ll know exactly which tree is safe to climb or which rock he can jump. Even if your motherly instinct will stop your heart, that child will be safe! I know what I‘m talking about, my 8-year old is just like that.

[@KmmBev]

Great video, it's so wonderful to watch your beautiful life. As a former daycare teacher here in the US it used to make me so sad to see the babies eating store bought baby food, their parents would also use harsh creams and diapers with bleach and fragrances. The babies would get diaper rashes and yeast infections from poor diet and antibiotics they would be prescribed for ear infections. So Mathias when you said you thought all babies got diaper rashes I wanted to share that only babies with ignorant parents who use silly products get rashes🧐 kudos to you both for feeding Ivar real food and using nappies, my husband and I love watching your family. Sending love from VT, USA.

So funny to see Ivar ‘eating’ the goat’s hay ... proves the saying ‘Monkey see, monkey do’ ... ...

There is another way to boost the insulation in the cabin, its called a double wall. The folks in Siberia, build log cabins with an inner wall. The thicker the mass of logs the more insulation. The inner wall does not need to be as thick. 2X3 STUD built inner wall could help conserve on the heat. It's the air gap between the inner and outer side of wall that stops convection, as a heat-sink.

If it is any help to you my experience of linseed oil putty in Wales is that when it is soft the birds sometimes get a liking for it as food!!

Ivar is such a happy well adjusted little boy. You are both doing a fantastic job with him. It breaks my heart to see my sisters grandchildren. They have been put in front of the tv or a computer screen for their entire lives, starting when they were a few months old. Their mother just uses her cell phone all the time. These poor children are angry, sad and very poorly behaved. I look forward to seeing how Ivar is doing in your videos. He is so smart as well. To see him playing with the animals is so cute. He watches you both so closely, your are right to think he will be helping you soon. You know your child better than anyone. I used to listen to advice given about what my mother in particular seemed to think were my parenting failures. i would smile and then do exactly what I wanted to do.

Seeing how you are raising Ivar makes me wish I could start all over again. I thought we were so unconventional and holistic back when our kids were little. I didn't have a clue. Your children are being raised close to nature, eating healthy food, breathing clean air, caring for animals, and learning the value of hard work. There is something to be said for a lifestyle like that. I think of all of the baby food packages, and diapers, and trash our family generated over the years, and all the processed foods we ate and it makes me sick. I'm in my 50s and I've only had a garden for 3 years, and I'm learning how beautiful life can be close to nature and living truly holistically. I envy you for your wisdom at such a young age. You two are doing a fine job at raising your precious son. I commend you. God bless you with every perfect gift!

[@michelleramauro8602]

Hello Talasbuan friends. Your son is beautiful I really appreciate how relaxed and attentive you are with him gently guiding him in his explorations. You live a very heart centered life, thank you for sharing it with us. Mathias you mentioned "energy glass" when talking about building your windows. We have an enclosed porch with windows make with energy glass. It was explained to me that this glass lets in the heat/energy of the sun depending on the angle of the sun so in winter here the glass lets in more, in summer it lets in less. The incoming light is not diminished. Amazing to me that glass can be made to respond to the sun in this way. Best of luck with your windows and cabin.

Love watching your channel so much! Hearing you nursing your baby brings back so much beautiful memories. Breastfeeding my kids was and is the best thing ever I could have done for them. Had a self made co sleeper as well. They never slept alone the first 6 years. At first my goal was to nurse for at least a year. When a year passed it changed my goal to 2 years. And after 2 years it changed to nursing them till the day they refused themselves. Resulting my son had been nursed 3 years and 8 months and my daughter 4 years and 7 months. With work and pumping it wasn't easy all the time but so worth the effort

[@stephanie2053]

Ah, I said the same thing when my daughter was born - after millennia of human evolution, why should I suddenly switch course and follow certain fashions of child-rearing that don't fit my life or my child's at all? People were aghast when I'd put the baby to sleep on her chest, then amazed when she didn't cry from gas pains and went to sleep soundly. Others clucked their tongues when I responded to her cries rather than ignore her, then were amazed at what a happy and well-adjusted temperament she had. There is one thing you are not missing out on in your isolation - competitive parenting! Others justifying their choices by criticizing yours - it's exhausting.

[@jenbausick4466]
