[@craigscott2315]

what do sheep need? Shelter and food, the best way to know is observe and see what happens. In the past sheep loved their shepherd and shepherd loved their sheep. Modern farming, fear is used to get sheep to go where the farmer wants. Best thing is talk with the older generation, second best records and accounts of produce, legislation and books but they can be hard to locate (ask a librarian?)... and maybe see if a local cattle farmer would let you use his cows to diversify the area. Do cows have an issue with deep snow? If they clear the way the sheep will have no issue following. Maybe a few small simple shelters in certain areas using resources from the forest? There is always a ten percent loss, the main issue with modern industry and the financial system is they often focus to intently on the ten percent and neglect the 90%.

Yr a smart man, and Family. I would start by cutting some trees down and make yr awesome fence in designated areas of yr choice and see how it goes. Trial and error that's how we learn to be better at anything we do, of course with help. I'm sure yr friends will help. I wish I could. Love u guys so much. 💝

[@derekwalters4980]

I just want to acknowledge how good your English has become Mathias, you used to look to Tova, and now you help out Tova as well!! Ivar is going to grow up speaking two languages, such a lucky boy! I must say, he's really coming into himself and is his own person. He has strong opinions and likes, and dislikes, and is a very happy little boy. I like how he follows you around, watching what you are doing with the animals, and he's so comfortable with the animals. He's going to be a very good farmer and land manager in his own right one day.

[@jillw892]

Aww watching little Ivar playing with the chickens it's just precious. I just love this baby so much. And much love to you both 💕🇺🇸

[@oneflower3080]

I love how interactive Ivar is at this point. His laughs and giggles are so uplifting!

[@okiwatashi2349]

That is going to be a healthy child, what an experience of life. Hats off to you folks.

[@esra2146]

Isn't it?The families in the cities have to buy plastic toy farm animals and have their children listen to the animals in songs..Modern men have forgotten the natural ways of things..

[@wsyl59]

Justin Rhodes channel showed him putting pigs in his woods for two weeks in each spot to root up the ground, eat brush. Fertilize and distribute dormant grass seed. He would also sow grass seeds when he moved them. He cut down small trees to allow in more sun and ended up adding several acres of grazing land to his homestead.

[@TheFirstBubbaBong]

The problem is if you thin the trees out to much you allow more snow in so there is a fine line when attempting such an idea.

[@daniellalambert9941]

he just said he doesnt have electricity for the kind of fence justin rhodes uses...

[@peacefulwife5199]

Ooooo, I'm doing my happy dance. Thank you for the video.😁❤😁 Little Big Man....is just a delightful ray of sunshine.🌞

[@atticuskilby515]

It is so good to see such a healthy, energetic, and happy boy enjoying the outdoors, the animals, and fresh air. He is growing fast; another birthday is coming soon. The weather here in the NE, US has been strange too. We had a late start to winter and now the temperatures can fluctuate from 11 to -20 in a span of 8 hours. Enjoy your videos, thanks so much for sharing!

[@aleguy334]

In the past, people used pleached hedges for permanent field borders, but movable fencing was made. Called hurds, or hurdles, they were panels woven from willow, hazel, or split wood. It seems you could make frames to hold your wire fencing instead. It would be lighter. Simply connect the end pieces of each frame at the top and bottom to form paddocks. Improving your land, your soils are almost certainly deficient in Boron. But adding rock dust from the quarry that provides your local government with crushed stone, sea salt, and biochar to the land should help. See “producing high bionutrient crops” on youtube by Living web farms if you’re at all interested. Your primary crops are pasture plants. I would also suggest researching the native biome in your region before the forests were cut and replanted with conifers. You might need to reseed some native plants for your sheep.

[@moonhunter9993]

yeah, I was thinking of natural woven fencing as well. good ideas

[@EllieChristine744]

Hi, I don`t know that very much grass and other plants will grow in the forest if you don`t take down some trees, as there will maybe not be enough light. If you take down some trees to get light, my suggestion is to spread manure, in winter, from the chickens and ashes from the oven in the lighter areas you have made. The chicken`s manure will also give you free grass seeds. I suggest not too much manure or ashes too close to the trees, as I think they do not like too much calcium. Then the sheep can go in the spring and summer and roam around when there is more to eat... At least, this way no need for fencing during winter. Forgot to say, more and more people with forests here in Sweden are coming around to the opinion that a forest should have a good mix of leafy trees and winter green trees. This gives much better conditions for insects and birds, they need the help, and they also help keeping down the number of insects hurting the trees. Thinning out winter green trees will also make the trees that are left much bigger and more useful for lumber.

[@garciamavis2271]

Just adorable, I-love watching your little boy play and squeal. He is so happy with his mommy and daddy. What a beautiful life with the silence and beautiful Aurora lights. I have alway wanted to see the lights. Enjoy

[@catherinehutton9133]

Love your videos always, but your filmography of the northern lights made my heart sing. Just so beautiful and magical. I also was going to suggest Justin Rhodes as a KZbin channel you could watch, as he uses the grazing methods you are talking about. If you think the forest area wIll support future pasture growth in so much shade, then is it possible in winter to use the same sort of poly portable fencing that you already use in summer, but line it with very light hessian material? That way you wouldn’t need the electricity in winter to keep the fence ‘live’, the hessian would stop the animals from getting tangled in the wire and it should still be very light and portable. Here in Australia they use hessian material in this way in lengths of more than 100 metres, staked out into large chutes to direct stock into yards - I can’t see why you couldn’t adapt it to help you in your situation? It’s also made from natural materials not plastic. Good luck with it all. Can’t wait to see your future progress. 👍🙂

[@christycritser2819]

Little distraction, very sweet. I'm so glad you speak English. I enjoy watching your lifestyle and your little family. Here in California we have been in drought for awhile. Spring already looks like it's coming here also kind of soon. I think you are wise with your family to know the skills you know and are learning along the way. Being bilingual it great and to teach your children is important. Your child looks like a smart little fellow. Be 😊 happy. Thank you for filming

[@neillawson2578]

Ivar is much more interested in throwing snow and being adorable than bale grazing. LOL I know Justin Rhodes uses chain link fencing sections on wheels to mob graze his sheep. Not sure if the forest would be level enough to keep the sheep contained, but might be worth a try. Glad everyone is returning to health. Ivar's laugh is so sweet. Love watching your family adventures.

[@terricollins8450]

[@toddrouch7526]

It's great that everyone is well and doing good. There's almost nothing better than the sound of a child laughing and having fun. Y'all both look great. It was good to see that y'all are still with us, considering all of the loss felt by most of the rest of the World in the last couple of years. Have a Great week!! And unfortunately I don't have any idea for your forest grazing, sheep containment dilemma. Someone will have a brilliant idea, no worries.

[@dianecasurella2048]

From western Canada, yes, some deforestation to just let more light in,, do you disperse you ash as well through the woods and land? So glad you are all feeling better. Our bodies of given a healthy chance have a remarkable ability to detox and heal. So glad you are all feeling better . I hope Tuva that your energy is vibrant again. ❤️now you have wonderful antibodies for this and will fight off even more very well. We have a three year old granddaughter fighting Leukemia.

[@maryelizabethcalais9180]

Awww precious little Ivar. What a happy, healthy, loving child! He is soooo Blessed to be with his devoted parents. Your parenting skills are awesome and your love for each other is obviously enriching your relationship. I do wish to encourage both of you to continue each other and be grateful that you found each other to share this lifestyle together. Going on 80 years in compromised health is difficult for me work to support myself. I empathize with your difficulties in life; it was not easy rearing 4 children in a large city in the US. Nevertheless, our simple meagher lifestyle as a family taught appreciation, love, and values to all 4 of my children. Ivar's experiences growing up in nature with both of you is building incredible character for his future life. Be proud of yourselves. Never allow negative comments to discourage you. Both of you are working hard and learning valuable self-sufficient information and knowledge. Be proud of your success. God is with you and I'm certainly praying for you. I am curious, how do we send little gifts to y'all? I sew toys for my young grandchildren and have books, from when I taught young children, that I would love to share with Ivar. They're in English full of pictures. Please let me know where to send them :)

How many sheep? / Fence panels with footers are easily moved and usually about 8ft long. So 8 panels could make 16x16' temporary enclosure. By moving three sides each day you can systematically cover ground.

[@tullysandstrider2534]

I have done ecological study's in my area. Decrease the amount of tree's and this will allow more sun light to reach the forest floor. This allows smaller ground foliage to receive more sun light that the tree's now are absorbing. Also reintroduce the foliage you want the sheep to forage on by transplanting from around the area. This takes 3 years with no grazing to make a viable area. I recommend 3 area's with good seed producing foliage that will reseed from the sheep's digestion and natural seed distribution.

[@vickiwalker3486]

A visual feast as usual!! And the music: Ivar’s laughter❤️. And the ideas re: your work with sustainable agricultural techniques are great. But mostly the visual story of your day with your little son and your animals and land is priceless.

Good morning from South Africa. To solve the problem with the earthing of your electric fencing....take an old piece of metal sheeting half meter by half meter and connect the ground wire to it. Throw some salt on it and bury in the snow. You are such an inspiration. Love the way you work with the wood.

[@moonhunter9993]

good idea.

[@paulahubbard9704]

Have you ever thought about a windmill for electricity? My grandparents had a 160 acre farm in N. Iowa, USA. They were "off grid" until about 1960 when they brought electricity into the house. By that time, they were retiring from farming and were in their mid 60's. They were born in the late 1880's and "off grid" was just the way it was for all of the farmers. They had a larger wood burning stove. For laundry, the water was heated in a water reservoir on one end of the stove. The laundry tub was filled and a separate rinse tub was also used. The laundry tub was only filled once. The least dirty items were washed first like towels linens next came moderately dirty items like work clothes. Lastly would have been the diapers. The washed items were then ran through a wringer and placed into the rinse water then those items were run through the wringer then hung to dry. In the winter, the wash would be freeze dried. In the warmer months, the soapy water would have been poured into the yard and the rinse water was for the vegetable garden. Their water source was a small hand dug well. A 5 gallon bucket was under the sink where any waste water was collected then also poured into the garden. They were completely self sustained with the exception of things they could not grow like peaches, oranges and pears. Those things were bought canned from the grocery store. They had everything down to a science. Nothing was wasted whatsoever. You have a good start and you've already learned a lot. Blessings to your family.

[@AndyTheCornbread]

Do a split rail worm fence. You have the log building skills needed to split rails and you have plenty of trees. It would do what you need it to do if you made a series of paddocks with it and then just turn the sheep out into the paddock you want them concentrating on at the time. You need nothing other than the wood split rails as far as hardware goes and it blends into the landscape in a forest really well. Felling the trees where you need rails would also open up the canopy a bit so you get more light on your eventual growing areas. Bonus, it looks really nice too when done right.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

My 1st garden-I had plowed the corner of my yard, took dirt from the lower end of the barn via wheel barrel mixed it together with soil already in garden. I had a very nice green garden. My potatoes doubled in growth, my Tommy toe plant grew 5 feet that year, producing enough little tomatoes For our salad that summer (2-3 of us), green beans did great, the corn didn't grow as high, but the ears were near 8- 12 inches, the green beans I planted with the corn stalks did well. In the Fall, the cows enjoyed eating the corn stalks. Watermelon & Cantaloupes done well too. Natural animal droppings are best for plants & trees. Use your chicken manure too.

I'm glad you guys are feeling better. We have had a very strange winter here in Vermont as well, January was cold and dry, February we had a couple of big snow storms but also some major thaws and rain storms. March started off cold and snowy but today it was 63 degrees and we lost a lot of our snow. I miss winter and I'm not ready for spring yet. The chipmunks we feed during the summer have woken up during these warm spells and stopped by for some nuts.. a very strange winter indeed.

You can clear some of the Timber out and make some Meadows or clearings and start feeding them in those areas. and you can mix those two bales of hay together if they prefer one over the other and reduce waste further.

[@FyNyth]

I don't know if you have this kind of thing, but in the States we have something called a cattle panel kind of fencing. Some with larger holes are for cows, but there are also some with smaller holes for sheep or hogs. It's usually a 16 foot long solid panel. We have used 4 of them connected with clips at the corners to make a little box pen that is pretty easy to drag sideways to a new spot in the summer. My parents used this with turkeys we raised to be able to move them every day and it works fine for almost any animal. I doubt they would drag nicely together in deeper snow, but it wouldn't be that hard to unclip the corners and just pick up each panel and stick it in the snow again in a new location. Since they are stiff all on their own, with the corners clipped together, we didn't need any posts or anything to hold it up which makes it easy to move many times. That's the best idea I could come up with! P.S. I really love all your videos and how similar many of the challenges with weather, snow, and cold are to my area. Watching your life always brings me peace.

[@vickiwalker3486]

There’s an electronic “invisible fence” marketed in US for pet owners’ use. I bet you could gain ideas, perhaps, from that, even if not high-tech. Exciting to hear about your windows’ progress. You guys are raising a bright joyful boy!

[@GretchenHewitt]

Have you ever checked out Joel Salitan in the USA? Oh my, I think you and he would gain from being aware of each other. His father completely restored his land in Virginia, I believe, by restoring the way the earth worked before farmers completely depleted it. Fascinating!! Yo u may find some great ideas from his videos. Wow! Ivar can take over the chores soon! What a beautiful boy!

[@smokeytrailcottage]

It's so amazing to see how far your homestead has come. And how your little family is growing. Thank you Both for sharing. I noticed all the trees that are some what close to each other. So maybe do a board tide to trees that make a fence. look almost like a rail fence but the trees in the forest are the post for the boards to be tide to. and if there is too much space tween the tree put an X in the middle to hold the wood rail.

[@Leeofthestorm]

There is a practice similar to what you are doing called swath grazing. It is best done where the winter is dry and cold. In this method the farmer takes the hay down either mechanically or with a scythe, and then rakes the rows of 'swaths' to make larger deeper swaths. These swaths are left on the ground, and the shepherd or cattleman brings the animals to the swath, breaks the snow, and shows them what is there. From this training, the animals learn to do the breaking on their own, and to recognize what the swath looks like under the snow. Something similar to this could be placed in long swaths that make paths in the forest. I don't know how to resolve your fencing issue. My only thought there is that maybe it is time to consider getting and training a dog like a border collie to herd them and keep them contained.

[@maggsbufton1969]

[@jericooper7053]

What a joyful boy, Ivar! He can entertain himself with anything, so adorable.

[@moonhunter9993]

My experience is more with horses in a herd. I have two ideas: 1. maybe picking a few (3 or 4?) areas with potential to become meadows in the forest. Use the surrounding trees as "fence posts", weaving a not-too-dense natural fence with branches/brambles between the trees where it's easy. Closing the circle off with other wire (?) fencing where the gaps are too wide/open. In summer you remove some of the fencing or leave it open so the sheep can wander in and out freely. 2. Using some kind of leash on some of the sheep (maybe the mature, herd leaders?) by stretching a rope between two trees that are far apart, a ring that can move freely along the rope, combined with a collar and leash (attached to the ring) that's not too long, so that they can't entangle themselves. The hope being the younger sheep will stick around with the herd-leaders... not sure sheep can tolerate collars though... this wouldn't need a fence and you could change location daily. one sheep per rope.

[@milcotto4153]

There is a field in the area were they used to keep sheep in the spring and autumn. The problem was that when they couldn't find enough or good enough food, they started jumping the fences and wander off in the middle of the road. They can actually jump quite high, almost like goats.

[@demale1]

Ok bale grazing is added to my vocabulary now. Also, drone footage matched with environmental sound is unusual and very good. Of course anything with baby farmers is great too

[@davidnormandin5428]

As a former cabinet maker/millworker I am glad to know you are going ahead with a craftsman type company. As to your fencing problem I would suggest driving a metal rod into the ground leaving a little above the expected snow level. Around the ground rod plot out four quadrants and set posts to the dimension of your fencing. Pre set bails in each quadrant Easy On a darker note as a veteran and Sweden's move to support the Ukraine people, I fought for the people, your piloting skills would be a value added defense for those people. I know you are a Finish just a thought.

Still thinking about your question. After listening again, I think you answer your own question in part. You want to restore selected areas of forest. Select them in summer, pound in t-posts, hang wire fence with clips in summer or autumn ( Snow fence with zip ties would probably work with at least 12" of snow at the base) Clips and t-posts remove easily, fence can be rolled, carted and reused for years. And I think alternating between two forest pens and the regular one will yield better results with your small flock. This is a years long project I think.
