I loved the variety of this episode, so many beautiful scenes…Ivar with his umbrella and being tossed and chased by his uncle, Tova sunning in the grass with her brother, the new lambs, flowers, butterflies, a walk in the woods, the beautiful smoked ribs, the window work, the salyx tree, gathering with family around the table…I loved everything about it. Thank you.

[@earthangel8730]

About your barbecue question. It is to GRILL in American English also. Meaning to cook over an open flame, usually on a gridiron. To grill also means to question someone intensely (in American English). To grill someone this way implies that they may have done something wrong. Most Americans prefer grilled food to being grilled about what they've been up to.

[@irmibullinger1421]

Have you ever watched a channel called "My self reliance"? Shawn talks a lot about the forest he lives in in Canada. He believes in diversety in the forest. He has also harvested lots of trees for the cabin that he built making sure that he saves those trees that are beneficial for diversety and and cutting down the trees, when removed, to bring more sun light into the forest to let the young ones grow.

[@rolandvasquezguzman9083]

I have seen many of his videos and i like them really much.

[@tboy80z]

Can you explain what you mean by diversity in the forest? I don't understand..

[@HennaHuu]

@@tboy80z Mathias talks about this in the beginning of the video. :)

I love your videos! Always full of such beauty. You are an amazing family.

What an absolutely lovely episode. Thank you so much for filming, editing , all the time and effort that goes into the episode while at the same time keeping the farm and the family running. All three of you are truly heroes! Please keep up this wonderful work and take care!

[@aileenjackson1706]

Wishing all children could have wonderful parents like the both of you.

[@ay.maripoxa]

I notice the little lambs like to climb the rocks for fun, it would be neat to create like a "playground" for them 😊

[@viriato8566]

Lady slippers to die for! Once lady slippers were common in New England, USA but many indigenous species are now rare/protected. Protect those marvels for Ivar.

[@tboy80z]

Evasive species have pushed them out?

[@joycehennequin8469]

Your videos are never to long,l wish they were longer as they relax me......thankyou so very much ❤

[@imaredhead1]

I would love to hear more about what you learned regarding forest diversity & how to approach it! Your channel is wonderful! Educational, entertaining, and so enjoyable!

[@gillbennett9784]

Your videos are never too long!! I loved watching the lambs playing together. Great to see Ivar is already an expert at using a rake. The wildflowers and butterflies are beautiful and it is wonderful to see how your land is coming back to life under your careful husbandry. Tova you look very tired, I hope all is well with you.❤

[@Goodthings5118]

Yes, we also call it grill.

[@KirstenEvans232]

What wonderful citizens of the planet you are. Hope Texas invites you soon. Those lambs are hysterical. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And that child is an angel. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@Mamat2many]

This child is just the sweetest young man. Y’all have done such a fabulous job w him!! Tenderloin maybe. Or filet. It’s also called a back strap

[@cricketmcclure3458]

Impressive! your astute 'eye' for video material, your parenting skills with Ivar, your growing knowledge of regenerative farming, and . . . your increasingly comfortable use of English vocabulary. I wish you had more time to create more videos!!! Thanx :>)

[@janeyjanedee2493]

Beautiful in every way. Thank you for allowing us to see the beauty you experience everyday…not an easy way to live but I admire your desire to live this off grid lifestyle in this beautiful area of the world.

The Franklin cookbook is written by a BBQ master.💥 Your cooked ribs are perfection🥳

[@Janine6564]

In Canada a BBQ is basically either coals or gas like a grill and we BBQ almost anything in it. From veggies to meat. It's a fairly quick process. I love the idea of creating biodiverse forests again. Very interesting. I'm excited about all the moss the chickens are tearing up. Lovely family visit.❤

[@annetjievz]

The forest that you and Ivar went to looks so enchanting.❤ I can see how people believed that gnomes and fairies lived in a place like that.

[@neva.2764]

They still do.

[@amstergal]

You all work so hard and devotedly, while I have the luxury and pleasure with gratitude to watch your beautiful videos. Ivar is growing so much and as he speaks Swedish I wonder at the ease children learn while for me as an adult my mind cannot even figure out how to shape the sounds, lol. The lambs are so cute and jumping around. What a wonderful rhythm of life for Ivar to experience.

[@IreneKeats-qh5rz]

We here in Newfoundland Canada sure enjoy watching you and are thank full for your way of life in your teaching with your darling boy.

[@annemariemoormann996]

Regenerative forestry: yes! Another great endeavour for generations to come. Lovely. The house is coming along, the fruittrees seem to be doing well. Good to see you are enjoying summer and the lambing went well. The pastures look good, your ribs scrumptious and all the fluffy grass (wollegras) is gorgeous. Ivar looks so good! Thanks again for letting us tag along!

[@lorivowell3128]

Hello from Georgia USA!!! I am a beginner in beekeeping, but I do have 2 top bar hives my husband built. I recall that you recently built your hives. Since it is only the beginning of your warm season, maybe they need more time. I’ve been leaving the hives alone and letting the bees be bees. I won’t even think of extracting honey sooner than a year after installation of the bees in your hive

[@marnaday4596]

Good advice. I let the first year hives get good and established, making certain they’ll have enough stores to help them survive the winter.

[@TheChargeShow]

Fascinating to hear about how to do the windows at the end. I didn't know they did that with the tracks inside the window frame. :)

Your videos are NEVER too long would love for you to meet my children who live in Texas just around the corner from Franklins Barbeque! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@Memacis1995]

Here in the US Midwest, grilling is cooking over a fire or coals. BBQ is smoking or slow cook over indirect heat for meat a long time with a BBQ sauce or a rub.

[@Ruth-xr2dz]

Yep…I’m from the Midwest and agree with you.👍🏻

[@CompostHeap]

Again what a wonderful episode, thank you. Your little one is very chatty, has great camera awareness and is charming to watch! Mind you, Mathias was equally delightful when showing the cured sausage and smoked ribs, the camera really catches both the pride and the temptation to munch the meat... Missed you Tova. Take care, C.

[@patfrench8046]

Keep the videos coming and we will keep watching. Love them.

[@carolienhunfeld6788]

a heartfelt thank you, for the beauty, knowledge, and love in this video.

[@machellesnow4214]

As a Texas girl. Your ribs looked perfect. BBQ here is grilling and smoking. And in the smoker we call it smoking meat. I invite you to Texas. We live rurally. In the countryside. I would love to come to your country. I would love to see your culture and homestead. Love your videos. Eva is precious.

[@almutphilipp4057]

I like that very much! Ivar is really interested in nature! Such a wonderfull tree, you are looking for!

[@vindeljay]

From my experience, when meat is put on hot coals or gas outside cooker, in the U/S its called "grill", in Australia where I live, anything cooked on an outside cooking device, with any heat source is called a Bar-B-Q. Inside cooking when meat is put under the heat source inside the oven, Usually a separate compartment" is called a "grill", in the U/S its called a "boiler. or maybe broiler."

[@crankycorner16]

I opened my door early this morning and a beautiful monarch (yellow and brown) flew over my head. Was nice to see your butterflies. 🦋 😊 Cheers Edit: Beef (Rump, Chuck) Roast Pork (Lion) Roast

[@onehearthlove]

Another lovely video. Thank you for sharing with us, it’s great to see you enjoying summer and connecting with family, especially Ivar having fun with his uncle :) Bless you all! 🌟

[@lindajones16]

we Grill and Smoke here in Wisconsin . But if we smoke we put it in brine the night before and smoke the next day So nice to see the baby sheep so healthy

[@kathrynmoll86]

Your teaching your son the love and respect of Mother Nature and our forests is the one of the most valuable of lessons. Ivar may just grow up to be one of Sweden’s preservationists of it’s forests and waters. (i.e., if it is not too late!) P.s. Not to worry; the videos are never too long. You have a lovely piece of land. The gamboling of the lambs is so wonderful to see! Enjoyed every segment of the vlog. Your taking an imaginary bite of that luscious rib of meat is an LOL. Yes, here too, grilling is big here in the midwest U.S.A.!

[@LB-gr7gu]

Thank you for working with Nature your Ivor will learn from you both .. much love and appreciation ❤❤❤💯

Hello from Texas! Your bbq came out amazing! Franklin is a leader in traditional style bbq in America. He is A very known name here 🥰 I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your life. Some tips for the words you were looking for. Needle hat = crocheted (pronounced crow-shade) (item) made with 1 needle. Knitted (item) = made with 2 needles. So, knitted hat, or crocheted blanket. Flask = bottle or with sprayer (top) = Spray bottle. The word flask can be used for a pouch or canteen or water (portable water container with a strap). But, most commonly we use the word flask as a small portable container of alcohol, like whiskey. 🥃 cheers to y'all from Texas!

[@AnnaKa1302]

Hey, Mathias! This video is not too long, it's wonderfull☺️❤️🌼 It's a joy every time new video comes out. I would love to try the ribs. I can imagine that they are very tasty.

[@MyHumbleNest]

It's a beautiful life you have there!!

[@bowiekt]

Extremely delightful ❤❤❤🌻☂️🫘

[@Daytona2]

Lovely to see - the field looks great, congratulations on the meat! In UK English grill and barbecue are similar words and they are not used precisely - Grill = inside or outside, open, not really covered, heat from above or below. Like a grill in an oven with the heating elements above, door open. Or a grill over a fire (which some people call a barbeque) Barbecue = outside, purpose built - metal, brick/block, covered, using smoke. Condiments = mustards, sauces, dips

[@NK-iv1ik]

Thank you for sharing! All you do is so beautiful and meaningful!

[@arielphf]

Wow! *Happy claps*. You are talking my language now! (I'm a forester in the US). I always wondered how you guys felt about the monoculture around your farm. It is hardly surprising that you understand the basic concepts of silviculture too! Good job, guys!

[@magic_hotel]

Fantastic video, as ever. In English, the vertical timber used to edge doors and windows is known as the 'jamb'. Quite tricky to judge the correct length in your cabin construction, but I can see that the 'keying in' detail works well to minimize problems. I have a similar issue with the size of my front door: in the dry seasons it is more or less a perfect fit for the aperture, but in the wet, damp seasons it swells to a larger size and is difficult to get closed.

All you wonderful people please click like 👍

[@mikeduda3173]

We call it grilling

[@rolandvasquezguzman9083]

Hej, in germany we call a barbeque also "Grill" and it is what you did with the Roastbeef at your grill. The Cold days in June we call "Schafskälte" in swedisch " Får kallt". Ivar is so much grown since i startet watching the video of his birth. It is really a joy for me to watch your videos and some of them i have seen twice because of so much helpful informations. Thanks for sharing.

[@green_heart07]

I love what you said about nature abhors monoculture. It applies not only to forest and nature in general, but even human societies as well.

[@doggylady]

Great video guys loved the lambs jumping funny😂 Your smoked ribs looked delicious I’m envious, glad you had some fun time with relatives.👍❤️

[@madcitywendy]

In the USA we grill when we cook outside on a charcoal fire. Barbecue is a very specific type of grilling.

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Best wishes to you and your families.

[@svbecca]

Barbecue and grilling are essentially synonymous if used as a verb. Texas barbecue (and other regional types) is a noun. The term for your cabin window trim is floating - built to allow for movement

[@karenhantsche9270]

The word barbecue comes from the language of a Caribbean Indian tribe called the Taino. Their word for grilling on a raised wooden platform is barbacoa. The word first appeared in print in a Spanish explorer's account of the West Indies in 1526, according to Planet Barbecue.

[@alainamarie7024]

In South Carolina, we grill on the grill, smoke in a smoker, and BBQ is grilled or smoked meat with a sauce ! Much, much ❤

[@carolynspaulding6322]

Your posts are so wonderful I need more watching over and over

[@EnglishMadeleine]

I’m realising why everything takes so long to come to fruition where you are - the summers are so short anyway and although it must be tempting to crack on and work, work, work on the house build, you also must take some of that nice weather time to relax and enjoy life, otherwise what is the point? Good luck with all the projects both now and in the future.

[@claudiam.esoteristamaestro5258]

Hello, beautiful Swedish forests, greetings 🙂

[@DanaK916]

In California, grilling and BBQing is the exact same thing- cooking outside over charcoal, gas, or wood (for long or short amountof time). Oven cooking is broiling or baking. And smoking is separate form of BBQ. ❤

[@pbcoupons]

Yes grilling. Grilling steaks or burgers Bbq is cooking a meat that requires more cooking time. My son in law grew up on a farm. A BBQ to him is roasting meat of a pig for “pulled pork”.

[@martinethevenau69]

Just love watching the newly birthed lambs in the pasture. Your smoked ribs looked absolutely delicious. Ivar is very curious and is living in an amazing place to learn and grow. 💚🐑🐓🌳🌲

[@JL_10acres]

I love to watch Franklin’s videos also. In SouthDakota USA we call slow cooking with wood, “Smoking” and fast cooking over coals “grilling”. Your ribs and the loin your smoked looked wonderful. 😊 enjoy the summer!

Hello dear Matias, Tova and Ivor! How wonderful to see that the snow has finally melted away and the sheep are lambing. Oh....the Bar-B-Q looked wonderful and your timber house is coming along....The walk in the forest was lovely and the time on the lake so beautiful. Your self taught knowledge is so impressive .....both Mathia and Tova! Few people could survive in such harsh winters. Tova has such a beautiful smile and always is so supportive of Mathias Yes, it is so very important that we save the natural forests. Ivor is learning many things as he watches his father. Does he have some little friends nearby to visit and play with? Your 'fortitude' and determination to live on your own is so impressive. Few would survive even one winter. I look forward to more videos throughout your short summer and your many projects ....especially building your timber house. (a viewer in the U.S.)

I always find your video's so uplifting, reminds me of my childhood in England on a farm, a simple healthy life.

[@HuskyTude]

Wonderful video! So enjoyed it! If we lived in Texas, I would love to have you as our guest! But alas-we live in Idaho! We say we “grill food on the barbecue” These words are quite interchangeable. The barbecue is the housing (outdoors) that holds the charcoals, wood, whatever is your source of fuel and the grill is the slotted rack on which we place the food items on within the barbecue. In the house oven we would call it broiling. Outdoors = barbecue. Whatever!!! You got your point across perfectly! Our love to you all!!

[@irishdancer2753]

Your home is coming along so nicely! I love it!

[@moregold]

It's called timber frame construction. Ivar has become very articulate. It was fun to see him with his uncle. Great video.

[@justoneacre7873]

I love your vlogs and always look forward to them. Can’t wait to see the house get windows!

[@ciaobella8963]

People in the US, Canada and Australia grill meat or other food on a BBQ (called a barbie in Australia). The other you mentioned is called a smoker, where you can smoke fish, meat, duck or anything really for several hours to get the smoky flavor in the cooked food. I'm sending you all best wishes, from Italy. (In Italy everything is called a forno haha - pizza oven, BBQ or an outdoor oven).

[@diannedutton6127]

I'm familiar with Franklin barbecue , since i live in Georgia, USA. H'es on tv often. We call it grilling, searing meat over coals.most everyone has some type of grill here, all kinds. Enjoyed this video. Ivar has grown so ❤

[@drivingbro]

Amazing video as always, top notch quality and production

[@mfilteau]

The TENDERLOIN you were SEARING looked very tasty!

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful video with such beautiful scenes of nature, Ivar & family, as well as the cute, hopping baby lambs! In Canada, we’ve called the diversity of plant & tree species “permaculture” where they enhance the forest or gardens & fields. A mixture of trees, fruits & vegetables works well to protect the land & pollinators. Thanks for sharing & many blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

[@sedumplant]

we would call it 'grill' in USA. I love that you are trying to manage your forest so prudently. A lovely video!

[@Londonererer]

In England we call it BBQ/ Barbecue, or cooking on a fire. Grill in England is the smaller section of the oven (if your oven has two sections) and is for toasting ( heated from the top only) or If your oven has only one section then there are setting just for the top to heat so you can grill(but u keep the oven door open) Nowadays everyone has toasters so ovens tend to not have a grill. Grill might refer to a gas (I think ) outdoor BBQ nowadays, but its definitely a BBQ with wood or coal. We might use the word grill where we cook on the hob and you end up with the lines across the meat.

[@PaulaSetzer]

I live in the South eastern part of the US.(North Carolina) The south uses Barbeque as a noun not a verb. So we eat Barbeque which has been slow smoked with hardwood overnight. If we cook meat over high, direct heat it is called grilling (to grill meat). It is not the same all over in the US. I look forward to your vlogs as often as you can. BTW, the dark edges are called "burnt ends". Some people really enjoy this part.

[@monicalarrea5325]

Extraordinario! Saludos desde Argentina!

[@Gabe-mx9pk]

In Australia we call it a barbecue or BBQ, and in Aus slang we say, “barbie”. As in “we are having a barbie tonight for dinner”
