You might consider changing the title/thumbnail focusing on using snow to insulate your house. That's pretty interesting to those of us who live in warmer climates. "Can you insulate a house with snow?" "Insulating my house with snow. Does it work?", etc.

"Everything looks so peaceful in the snow" coming from the states, Minnesota to be exact, being surrounded by negative people all the time, it makes me very happy to hear others find beauty in things other don't. Seeing the beauty in all things even the things unenjoyable is something very few have today

[@robertsherman9975]

I absolutely agree with you ! Individuals waste so much energy on unnecessary negativity. Life’s journey isn’t too be wasted !

Someone that speaks English that's been in colder places than me. There's a strong likelihood that you've been on Alaskas north slope. I dealt with -65°F growing up and these days I'm far enough south that people think 0°F is cold.

[@cleenlivin]

I’m late to the channel but amazed at the knowledge, ingenuity, practical engineering and all around skill of Mr. Bjoernstroem. 👏👏👏 How does someone who looks so young have such a breadth of knowledge and skill. Amazes me. I’m not sure if it’s been talked about elsewhere but I wonder what kind of job he has? His skill set is what I would imagine you want in someone whose an all around maintenance, fix-it, self-sufficient trouble shooter you would hire to work in a far away isolated location. Beautiful scenery. It reminds me of Minnesota in the winter. Beautiful, clear and picturesque right after a fresh snow.

[@erik_dk842]

That's cold winter theory proven for you right there. In other climates, the willingness and ability for extreme aggression is what makes your line of genes survive. When Sweden's original population has been mostly replaced by representatives from hot climates in a few decades, it'll be interesting to see the results.

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

I’ve always thought snow was an excellent insulator. Your a good operator on the excavator.

I recently stumbled across your channel and I am amazed at your ability to compose shots particularly with the drone, Sweden is certainly a very beautiful part of the world. It was also very cool seeing you just playing with the water and the FLIR camera seeing all the different currents in the water because of their temperature difference. Love the content! I'm curious about that sweeper, I did what research I could and I understand it's for clearing snow on runways? Did you get the machine to use for jobs clearing snow or just as a hydraulic power unit? Cheers from Southern Tasmania Australia

[@M.BJOERNSTROEM]

Thanks! Yes that is correct, they are called PSB (Plow, sweeper, blower) here. I mainly got it since it has alot of hydraulic and various parts that can be used in other builds (Got 3 of them). Cheers!

Yeah, I commented that the rental car company was going to be upset about their car. I thought it was clearly a joke. I go by the feeling that any comment on a video is a good comment because video interaction only helps the You Tubber.

G'day mate. By jingo's it looks a bit Piccadily there. That diesel heater would be worth its weight in gold wouldn't it being able to have the excavator pre warmed up before you start it. I noticed you pulled a lead out of the front of your car before you started it. Was that for an electric pre heating system? It is so peaceful and tranquil it almost looks like a fairy tale land. What a beautiful part of the globe.

A+ video content. Keep it coming. Excited to see more work with the excavator and jaw crusher. Gotta ask, is this your personal equipment and endeavor’s or is this work you are doing for a company? What’s the vision, you trying to set up a rock quarry for your own uses like camarata or are you trying to make rock to sell.

[@LLImprovement]

I just watched your video of the heater install on the excavator. Have you had an issue with it draining the battery down? I have all 24v systems on my machinery and it seems they are a little harder to come by for a heater. Most are 12v. I don't want to pay retail price for 3 heaters.

[@Barthoization]

I would consider mounting a firm rubber strip on your bucket for clearing snow. Scraping that concrete leaves a mark.

I'd love to visit over there some day to see where part of my family came from.

[@M.BJOERNSTROEM]

Hi, i would like to do something like that. I just need to find a smaller conveyor. Yes it's supposed to be like that, since the machine is not really meant to be used in such a way. The relief valves in a slew motor i set very low to prevent damage, and smooth stopping.
