wow, you are a busy couple! I can imagine what it means to live where you live, having a small child, animals and trying to produce as much food as possible in sustainable way. As a grandmother I know how it was for me with small children and a household (always cooking from scratch, doing as much traditionally which was back in the 80s/90s). I truly admire what you do and I would love for you to never feel that you are failing or not doing enough or doing things wrong please! It's all only a trial to do things the best way you can, no matter what others may say (and critics often haven't even tried to do similar things you do!!!!). CONGRATULATIONS on your success with the smoked meat and sausages! Well done! I can imagine how very much you enjoy eating it when you know it's so pure and it tastes so very well. Have a very happy time of celebrations and have a super successful 2024! ;-)

[@ca6177]

I agree with you. We should all be trying to do more for ourselves!

[@dggivens8433]

YOU BOTH ARE SUCH A LOVELY COUPLE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH THE WORLD. YOUR CUSTOMS ARE SO DIFFERENT BUT FUN TO SEE! GOD BLESS YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! GOD IS GOOD!!

[@marcbarnum9038]

Merry Christmas to the best family! The world needs more people in the world like you two.

[@marthesegauci5718]

Yes I always enjoy your videos. This time it was the smoker, an usual type, interesting the way it is built. I'm glad the meat came out as you wished, you deserve it after all the hard work, well done.

[@annaadoue2763]

Something to be proud of, no doubt about it. You make me believe in humanity. To know that people like you are in the world, gives me hope of the future of the earth.

[@deneeschenck5180]

Please teach us how to say "God bless you" as you would teach your son.❤

[@almutphilipp4057]

Dear Tova, Mathias and Ivar, Merry Christmas to you and a happy New Year! I' m so happy to " be a part " of your life!

[@sianrushton]

Thank you for making the advent calendar episodes, I've been really enjoying them :) I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow. Merry Christmas xx

[@na-uo4no]

Oh, what a joy: I just finished watching the Lucka episode at the patreon page (highly recommended!!). And now there is a new episode on youtube. 🥳 Thank you so much for this early christmas gift. A very happy jul to you and your families and a healthy, happy start into the new year.

[@marilynlautner2454]

Your wintertime is beautiful. Smoked meat is a delicious way to preserve meat. I’m very happy for you! Have a very happy Yule! I’m making Gingerbread too! Let’s enjoy!

[@sassyh5912]

I enjoy watching this family. They bring me back to my childhood upbringing. Hard working but Simple and sweet. May God continue to bless you.

[@Serenityfor1]

Looks like it’s the blue hour all day there. Dark winters I would be lost without the sun. Merry Christmas to all of you. ❤

[@robinmoore5181]

😂 so thankful that you share your story. Blessings to you all. ❤

[@maco1713]

Mary Christmas to you Mathias,Tova and Ivar!😊

[@ThomiX0.0]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation, these sausages look very tasteful to me! The build with your father-in-law has been a great success too, and the only (to me..) remarkable thing is: the diagonal beams on the doors are placed UPSIDE DOWN..haha. Enjoy the family at these special moments and relax.:-)

[@Talasbuan]

Yes, you're right. I didn't noticed it until now! I guess we'll continue the movie tradition. Most doors in movies are built the wrong way as well :)

[@MrMrspeterson08]

My husband and I have watched and enjoyed your videos for a long time. I am so sorry to hear anyone here would go so far as to report you fur your animal husbandry. We appreciate all your hard work, your efforts to explain your culture, traditions and lifestyle. Thank you so much.

[@chantaldavies]

God Jul ❤

[@aileenjackson1706]

Your little boy will have the best memory's .

[@didirossi5053]

It's really beautiful to see this family! Snow is wonderful phenomenon to see, but I believe it is complicated to adapt. I want to wish the family a Merry Christmas!🥰

[@jackmiller6470]

I love the idea of placing rocks in between the fire and meat. I've never seen that done. Very ingenious. I appreciate the pride, that shines through, in producing your own foods. I've been 6 weeks traveling across the US, visiting friends and family. Every stop I've been sharing meat that I've raised or harvested. My wife and I processed everything ourselves, all while living in an RV full-time. To me, it means more to share the bounty of our hard work, than to buy some cheap gimmicky product. It was well received by all as well.

[@keaables]

Indeed! Well done.

[@gabrielevoelker2486]

There is nothing more rewarding than growing your own food, it makes all that hard work rewarding. Thank you for sharing your methods.

[@j.pappas9083]

We discovered the joy of growing our own fruit and vegetables a couple of years ago and it saves us a fortune in produce plus we can and preserve all the excess.

[@jntd4160]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Saline, Michigan! I can't believe how fast this year flew by but I can't wait to see what this coming year has in store for you (and for all of us!) I have a feeling things are really going to come together and fall into place for you with the new house! Love, gratitude and best wishes to all of you!

[@volvo24091]

Are people from Saline salty?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family! Thanks for all your wonderful videos and can't wait to see what your channel has in store for us in the new year!🎅🎉❤

[@martineschillen8053]

I cannot say enough thank you for all you say in your videos about meat and life.(book) I changed my diet from one day to another after your video, being vegetarian for 25 years to carnivore again. I was carnivore for 33 years, (25 vegetarian), now I will never leave this diet again. I'm 58. I'm grateful for my mother to give me the only right food when I was a child: meat. Thank you, god bless you

[@lmc1966]

CONGRATULATIONS!!👏👏👏 This is really awesome work!!! ❤❤❤ And Ivar ...giving the piece of sausage to his mama first! I just loveeee this child!!!💙🩵🩵🩵💙

I'm a retired sailor and have been starting the journey of homesteading . i have lived in rural farm country my entire life. I'm not totally self sufficient by far but become closer every day.

[@anneliesjoss]

Yes, the most humane way to raise and eat meat. Happy Yule and looking forward to an amazing 2024 🧡

Isn't it delicious... my grandpa used to smoke meat like you did, pork ham was outstanding, fantastic, I still remember the smell, the look, the taste! Nothing like it.

[@ruththomas6361]

Alder is a very popular wood for smoking here in SE Alaska. We also have some crabapple trees, and some people have used that, too. I don't have a way to smoke meat, but I put up a lot of fish in jars and cooked in a pressure cooker. It keeps for many years. Sockeye salmon is a subsistence food in the small communities in Alaska; it cannot be bought or sold except for commercial fishermen. I have no way to fish, but whenever someone gives me a few fish, I will put it in 1/2 pint jars (about 4 ounces) and then I give some of these to elderly people who can't eat a large jar before it goes bad. All I ask is the jar back when they empty it, so I will have jars for next time. It is good to take care of one another.

[@ak-zx8xj]

I absolutely totally indiscriptevly love you always forever, guys!!! Have a great year 2024!

Nothing like processing your own meat and then smoking it! Used to do a lot of this, when younger.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Have a relaxing day and a very happy and healthy New Year! Love to you all from Connecticut.

[@thornineractual]

If you get some wood strips about an inch wide and put them over the cracks on the outside walls of the smoker it should help keep smoke from coming out there, it's called board and batton siding here in Canada

[@katiewright2232]

It is absolutely amazing what you do! 24:15 You may be familiar with Will Harris of White Oak pastures in Georgia here in the USA. If not, you would enjoy his book, titled “a Bold r return to giving a Damn”.

[@Talasbuan]

I have listened to many interviews with Will Harris and I am fashinated with the work they do at White Oak Pastures. But I have not read that book. I need to get it for sure

[@Adogslife54]

Happy Holidays, all!

[@anniehawkins6321]

This video was outstanding, I love it, making smoked meat is so awesome, I know it’s delicious. I wish we had food sharing abilities though out phone or tv. I would share my favorite Christmas things with y’all and you could share with me, oh and I love that sweet little Ivor he is growing up so fast. Life excites him ! That’s the way it is supposed to be! Please keep making videos! I love them.

[@atticuskilby515]

The meat looks fantastic and it is quiet an accomplishment, from grass to table! I imagine boiling the tongue and then smoking it was a great way to prepare it. I really enjoy the Yule segments and everything that you share. God Jul to you and your family.

[@cathelinam9064]

Merry Christmas to you and your Family from my Family. I love the smoker. Ivar looks warm in the steamer room. :)

[@fabiancanada8876]

Wow, I built a smoker just like yours!! You can cold smoke and/or cold smoke! I am really happy with it just haven't had much time to smoke in the last two years. So hopefully more good smoking (deer jerky, etc.) in 2024!

[@stayinggolden2665]

Surprisingly looks quite similar to the way I built my smoker in Canada! That sausage looks good!

[@viriato8566]

Nice smokehouse design. Rock "firewall" very clever.

[@loureed5869]

Yes we would like to taste!! We could almost smell it.

[@colinsneller6274]

Wow your smoked meat looked so good! Like you said I wish I could taste it! You can be justly proud.

[@thegroundedstarseeds]

I could almost smell the delicious aroma of the smoke and taste the tender meat... and I'm a vegetarian. That is to say how yummy all of this seems. Made with care, love, mindfulness, consciousness. It is indeed golden nuggets of sovereignty and freedom from you homestead and lifestyle. You should be proud of all you guys are and do! You have accomplished so much at Talasbuan and I know this is just the beginning of so much more still. I feel joy and gratitude to be able to witness the growth of such a project and learn to know you guys more and I appreciate all you are! 🙏💙🦌🎄

[@tanjabrattinga7401]

beautiful video once again. I ofcourse looked at al the julvideos as wel. The compilation at the beginning of the video is very nice as wel. The meat looks delicious I can almost smel it. My husband smokes fish in the summer and fall, eel he catches himself ( witch is forbidden in the Netherlands. You may catch it but you must put it back, he does put the small ones back) So dont tell anyone 😬. And sometimes he buys gurnard or mackerel from the fish market near by ( directly from the fishingboats, so you could call that local also). We then invite some friends and enjoy the fish with a nice beer or a glas of wine, always a succes. Have a good new year, take some time of and I will be looking foward to another video

[@straubdavid9]

I really like that smoker you built👍🏻I've seen some people use a detached fire box/stove like you are about to finish up, and they seem to work very well for them. All the meat you smoked looks really really delicious, especially the sausage😛 Very nice vid you guys .... Ivar is trying his best to help out. He is a riot🤣 All the best to you Mathis, Tova & Ivar .... take care✌🏻

[@AnnaKa1302]

Hey! I loooove the intro😍😍😍👍👍👍 Can watch it over and over again. I didn't think I would be interested about the smoker, but it was very interesting👍 So glad it became good. P.S. I miss the snow, the beauty and silence it gives.

[@spellmadam2947]

Wonderful showcase of your smoking process. Birch bark is highly flammable. Merry Christmas.

[@tresefrankovich7625]

I am new to your channel and this is the second video I watched so when I saw you reference Larken Rose book I was SO excited because I feel like I finally found a channel that I find shared values with! I cannt wait to go back and watch more of your episodes! Blessed Yule

[@Talasbuan]

Nice to hear you know of Larken Roses book. I do enjoy his rants on his youtube channel as well :) /Mathias

[@maryanngibbs6963]

My grandfather was a butcher who built his own meat processing plant by his own hands. He butchered and processed all the meats and sold them to customers and some restaurants and stores in the surrounding area. He also had a smoker at one point where he would smoke the meat and sell it sort of like a food truck stall you could say. My childhood I grew up always there after school or during the summer all day. He made his own sausage which was a big seller. The only thing was his animals weren't from his land/farm, but were brought in and stayed in a pin in the back or deer brought in after hunting to be processed.

[@susanthompson5091]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos this year featuring you and your family. May 2024 bring all that you need for a joyous and abundant life. Happy Yule 🤗🥳🙏🙇‍♀️
