I only paid $28 000 for ALL of this in Sweden 

Hey friends, so happy to finally be back with a new video 🥰 Besides this one, I have actually uploaded another video titled "Personal Vacation Vlog in Denmark", a 23 minutes long personal video, with Christine me on vacation in Denmark. I've uploaded this video exclusively to my Patreon: www.patreon.com/kalleflodin - The money I earn from my Patrons is going straight into building a bathroom for our new little family, so if you feel like supporting that, Patreon is a great place to do so 😊❤

What about building a smaller fenced area where the dogs can be outside but contained. We call it a ‘dog run’ which you can make as small or large as you like. It would enable you to be outside for as long as needed without worrying about them running off.

Hello Kalle it’s nice to hear from you again. I am a retired woman from the USA in Pennsylvania. I really enjoy watching your videos. The forest is so beautiful. I love your cabin and the simplicity of it and your lifestyle. Thank you for the tour it was very informative and personal. It is nice that you have great neighbors etc. I need to get Patreon so I can watch more of your content. I love seeing your dogs also and how happy they are playing in the snow. I keep thinking of Christine with the baby. I am so excited for the two of you! Being a mom or dad is the best thing in life!! Wishing you all the best in life ♥️♥️ Can’t wait to meet your sweet baby boy 🥰

Great video, Kalle. It was very nice getting to see the "whole picture". Looking forward to seeing all the renovations as they come to fruition.

Loved seeing this. Such a beautiful place. Maybe investing in an older pickup and attaching a front snow plow is cheaper than a tractor. Can be used too for lots of work around the place. I live on 6 acres and I agree to live on your property for a year or more so you understand the lay of the land, the way the water flows, the way the wind usually blows, where the snow accumulates etc. We have a fenced in back yard and a dog door off the laundry room so they can go in and out and then on a leash when we take walks. PS I just joined you on Patreon. I can certainly afford $5 a month and it is hardly enough for all the hard work you do on your films. But I appreciate an affordable way to be a member.

Wonderful informative video Kalle. Definitely try some crowd funding, don’t be shy about it. Running water in the cabin I guess would be such a game changer for your family.

Wow that was such an informative video, thanks so much for sharing so many details and showing all parts of the property - very useful for people who want to move one day ☺🌲✨ Still blows my mind you have fiber 😁

Blessings Kalle and Christine. Thank You for continuing to take us all on your journey

Thank you very much for your video.I live in Ukraine , your videos give peace and rest for the mind in a difficult time

Wonderful video. You are rightfully proud of your property and the work/improvements you have completed. Hope ‘Mom’ is feeling well!😍🇨🇦

Yes do a crowd fund! Let us help! We are all family here!

Now that you're going to drill for water and have a pumphouse, there goes my using rainwater from the roof idea. I want to express admiration to both of you. You inspire me!!! Though I have to say, once the baby comes, you're going to have to babyproof inside the cabin. Ty for entertaining me with excellent videos. I especially like the POV one with you and your friend. That was movie quality for sure. Best of luck with the newborn. Patrick from US

I'm a first time viewer and I just wanted to say that I really like your vibe, and the fact that you explained everything without sugarcoating anything, telling everything exactly how it was and how you felt... feels very raw and sincere. Subscribed🙏🏼👌🏼

Amazing! Thanks for sharing very informative video ❤

Yes I absolutely agree about being very conscious of placing structures and features on the land, it's one of the first things I consider as I permaculture garden designer.. wait even a couple of years if you have to, as long as you need to consider all aspects like where the sun rises and sets through every season of the year so to capture and utilise the elements of nature , what animals live on that particular landscape and how can you support them.. actually in Permaculture we suggest to consider every being that will be on that land.. another important element is to check where the water flows across your land and how can you encourage it to flow well, but also maybe slow it down to allow soakage into the water table.. although that might more relevant to a drier climate, I am in Australia so water is a really important resource and not to be wasted or sullied I love your place Kalle, I'd love something just like that ❤

Thanks for the update! I was just thinking of you two and was going to send you a message to see how you’re doing.

Really great to see all of the cabin and its surroundings, it is really a wonderful place in the middle of nature! Really inspiring and goor tips for moving over to Sweden too 😀 See ya soon!

Cheers for all the great things you have accomplished, and new parents to be! Super cool! Cheers, from California USA…

In Canada we call this a camp with no running water or toilet inside

Maybe we'll look into moving to Sweden from Maine, US.

Nice! As for a fence for the dogs have you considered an invisible fence? The dogs are collared then taught the boundaries where a signal reminds them not to cross. Then you have your beautiful scenery without interruption of a fence

I loved this video. Thanks for sharing

You have find a lovely place Kalle! 🌲🌲❤🏠❤🌲🌲 I remember I had the same feeling when i find my home in Finland countryside. You just know it! Have wonderful time you both. Soon you are 3 ❤❤❤

Always enjoy so much your videos, your calm voice, your quiet lifestyle and humble personality. Wishing you and Chritine the very best with your future and the baby coming along soon.

Thanks that was very informative. As to the dogs, I have had good luck with the invisible dog fence. It saved my lab's life when she started chasing cars on our country road. Wishing you guys all the best with your little one. Take it from an old man, it's the very best life has to offer!

You guys are truly blessed. It’s my dream to live somewhere like this. I want to walk outside and hear just nature.

Love what you and Christine are doing...and how you are caring for the land and your home. And yes, I would love to send you two (soon to be 3) some money to support what you are doing. I am a retiree living in a tiny home on wheels in the foothills of Mt. Rainer 35 miles south of Seattle, Washington. Whatever I can do to encourage people to live more intentionally I will do. Hoping for a safe and happy delivery❤

Thanks for sharing.

Not sure why i find you’re channel so fun, but you have grown a place in my heart. Then when Christin came in the pic, i was so so thrilled you were not alone. And she is such a fine girl. And now a baby, can’t wait. ❤

Hi. Love from India. Since I got exposure to the idea of self sustainable living, I am planning and saving so that one day I will buy a big piece of land and live off it. It won't happen any sonner. But if it happens, even in this life life time, I would be very happy and grateful. ❤

So great to have a tour of your beautiful property, and glad you had a good holiday in Denmark! I agree with another viewer and trust you will fence off your pond. In Canada we have to do this by law, around pools etc on property. Warm wishes as you soon welcome your little one into your lives.❤

I’m so excited for you guys to welcome your baby 💛. My baby turns one in a few weeks. I hope the birth goes really well and as hard as some moments can be in the newborn phase, lean on each other and you’ll make wonderful memories 💛.

The air in Alaska is like that, pure and refreshing.

I enjoyed that so much. Thank you for sharing these details with us.

A really interesting and very welcome 'contextualisation' of where you live, Kalle - just several years late! That said, knowing this from the outset might have taken the edge off the impression of northern wilderness you've managed to create through your many fascinating videos, when in fact your proximity to a gravel road within walking distance (just!) of a town that's some way south of the arctic circle makes you almost suburban. (OK, not quite ...!) Terrific video narration, much enjoyed.

Kalle great 👍 video 😊. Adding some insulation would be very simple and economical. My uncle builds homes . I was able to add insulation to a summer cabin with his help and instructions over the phone 😅. Big money saver 👍. It would be interesting if you made a 2nd video of how much money $$ you had to add to invest to make this cabin and other buildings on your property. Congrats on new baby coming ❤😊

Such useful information. Big thank you and all the best to you with your life and channel....

so happy for you kalle.you are truly blessed to have that an a good woman an doggos

I think it’s wonderful that you share your life and beautiful forest . People like to share in your story so I would try crowd funding all people can say is no . And any money you get will help you get the water faster 😊

Congrats on a well-needed Vacation in Denmark. You guys need it. And you need to spend some well-deserved time together rand with family before baby is due. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Running water will be a necessity for sure, warm and cold. Did you finish the renovations in the living room/ kitchen?

You have a pretty place, love seeing the snow 🌨️❄️🥶l know you and your wife can't wait for the baby to get here 💞🍼🧸 like your video

Wonderful and informative video Kalle!!!

Thank you for sharing your experiences and showing us everything. It is really interesting and I like to see your love for this place =)

I was thinking on the back of my head on a solution for some king of isolation without disturbing the nicest of the construction. And I think I have the solution. Build a clamshell of sort, but as the actual wall is. Just stack the wood beams as they did 100 years ago but 5 to 10 cm form the actual wall. You keep the look, but I understand for a few years, you lose the "patina" of the old wood. Then shift the windows and door to the new exterior wall. Not the cheapest option, but I believe it to be the best option to a comfier life during winter.

Jättekul och intressant att se hela tomten/ägorna! 👍

Thank you for video, its an amazing place. Yes love this kind of moss, too, found it in germany /black forest, and at our property in norway at polar circle. Wow you studied ecological gardening? Great.

I had the same gut feeling when buying my abandoned farm in Finland. It felt like having a sun in my chest. I bought it the next day without even seing it live. When I finally did see it, it was even better than I had imagined. Always trust your gut feeling. ❤

A 400sq foot apartment is $120k in my city. Wilmington NC. I'm moving to europe lol.

Crowd Funding is a good idea. Many people don't mind donating small amounts they can afford if they really like you and believe in what you are doing. You have done the hard yards and life is so much easier when you can progress. Now you have a little family and after the well, I do hope you get the tractor so you do not have to spend a whole day clearing your road.

Crowdfunding is an excellent resource for you! Congratulations on becoming a family of 3 so very soon 🎉

Great snowy winter ambience.

Wow I was shocked to hear the price of the well drilling. Was nice to see you again and catch up. Also was shocked to hear it took you 7 hours to shovel your drive way phewwww id never go anywhere during winter if that was me lol. I would likely do a huge grocery haul and do with what I had until I just absolutely needed to go again to avoid the shoveling lol hopefully you will get a solution to that soon especially with the babies arrival very near.

The first thing we did when we moved to Sweden was to set up a fence, with the house in the middle. Best thing ever. What a freedom for the dogs. We used armeringnät, bit rusty and it blends in amazingly

Wow has it really been 2 years since the days of you literally going miles and waiting hours to upload videos! I’ve been subbed since then as I remember you telling us about it. Where’s the time gone! You’ve done a really really good job with fixing the place up. Really loved this where you showed your property. Felt so relaxing. Looked freezing though! Hope you’re all doing well buddy! Don’t worry about having breaks. Make sure you’re both ok.

Do you have any thoughts of planting your own food? I understand that you might not have so much time when the baby comes or bc of the other projects you have, but it would be awesome to see you planting your own food! Maybe putting some stuff in the freezer so you have enough for the winter etc if it’s possible? P.S. Love your videos and looking forward to see the three of you soon!

So lovely and I totally see why you bought there. Thanks for the openness and lovely to see you both last week love Rob 😘😘

I love the people of Sweden. Very calm and intelligent people. I am glad to have had the opportunity to study there from Africa. God bless Sweden.

Jag är imponerad av ditt tålamod och det arbete du lagt ner. Jag brukar besöka Sollefteå, förstår att du trivs i den natursköna miljön. Tack för en fin video.👍

What a genuine and well paced video, loved it! Thanks for inspiring me to make videos as well, it feels freeing to be more of a creator than a consumer

Thanks for sharing your experiences as a RU-vidr without fiber optics. Your tenacity amazed me and encourages me to continue publishing, despite the total lack of tools. I feel I need to share, to bring a different vision of the world, to Italy where certain lifestyles are considered a little a bit crazy. (Sorry for my bad English).

Yes crowd fund!

Jag lät borra en brunn (92 meter) 2018, det kostade 32 k efter ROT-avdraget. Pump, hydrofor och kulvert fixade vi själva. Låter som att du måste hitta en billigare entreprenör! :)

Thanks for the tour, you have such an amazing place! I just wanted to say that crowdfunding the well seems like a great idea. I’m sure a lot of your viewers would love to contribute to something concrete like that. Swedes like Norwegians (I’m from Norway) are raised not to ask for help like that. But at the same time we are raised to help when someone asks. I got to experience the positive side of this recently as my wife started a crowdfunding campaign for me to get an all terrain wheelchair. The response from people who wanted me to get back outside was quite overwhelming, but it proved to me that we are there for each other when someone asks for help. Clean drinking water for a family is even more important than a wheelchair, so I’m sure people would support that! And your videos offer so much value to so many, I’m sure you’ll fund the well in no time🤞

Yes Watching the four seasons is the best advice

I love watching your videos, really looking forward to seeing what you do in the summer when all the snow has gone. I have an allotment with my husband and we really enjoy being outside in the fresh air, When you spend a day there it really makes a difference to me. I would do crowd funding if I was you, i'd try and make money for your well in as many ways that you can... look good and best wishes... what an amazing life you are creating for yourself and partner/child.

You are happy ❤❤❤

Hey Kalle, my girlfriend and I are going to be in Solleftea next week March 8 to 10. Is there something interesting to do and visit during that time you know of? Looking forward to see your and Jonnas "home town" and the nature around it 😊 Best, Arthur

back in 2007/2008 you could already get affordable prepaid 3G internet in Sweden from I think it was "tre" , is what I remember from my holiday in Sweden. It still is quite cheap I think for what you get compared to here, while in Sweden you need a lot more masts to get any sort of coverage then here. If you want optic fibre here that far out with no nearby neighbours you either get denied, or they want at least 30-40k euro for it, if not more. The house we were in also was maybe a little bit remote (but not really) but had a well, power, electric heating, oil heating, moose in the garden (sometimes), howling wolves at night. It also was my last "proper vacation" of more then just a few days, but oh well.

The views currently are 14,605. If we all contributed a dollar it would cover the well. I don’t know about fees and exchange rates to make a donation but if we all gave a little it would add up quickly.

Best wishes for the baby delivery.

I would support your well water project! This would be so beneficial to your family ❤

Thanks for the tour

Misconceptions!🤣Loved that, very funny!

I always enjoy your videos, always inspiring 🤙💚

Where will your child go to school and play with other kids?

You showed that when you bought the property, it had a sauna hut. But now you talk about building a sauna hut. What's happened to the old one? Love your videos....

Love the big picture video!

Crowd fund Kalle!!! You have a lot to offer..

Nice amount of beard moss and Hypogymnia physodes on trees on your land:)

Yes, do some crowdfunding, why not! Even if you only get 1000usd or so it's already worth it. And I'm sure many people feel like supporting your story and channel.

Was just wondering when we’d hear from you - but I I’m sure you are a bit busy these days. 😊 You have a beautiful property. Just out of curiosity, is that a Joachim Ingulstad talisman you’re wearing?

Was wondering if you have the chance to buy any additional land around your current property?

I'm not sure if this is an option for your location, here in the United States we have what's called an invisible fence for the dogs. They where a special collar that tracks them and only allows so much distance. You can set the collar so that it vibrates and they learn not to go that far. It doesn't hurt them in anyway. I thought perhaps since you have that fast internet it maybe an option for you.

Internet service in Sweden: 98% have access to 80 Mbit/s 4G mobile internet. 85% have access to 500-1000 Mbit/s fibre optics internet 14% have access to 20-70 Mbit/s ADSL/VDSL land line internet.

I feel your pain with struggling with that word. I have a few words that causes me have to stumble when I say them.

You must live close to Jonna Jinton..I think she has a shop in that town?

❤

That looks so much like Canada where I live!

Can you explain any property tax you may have to pay for your land? Curious how it compares to the US.

the pipe under the road is called Culverts

Can you put a septic system on your property? That would allow for a proper bathroom, seems to be necessity for a young family.

Really nice video yet again, you have really inspired us to also move into the word of RU-vid, and we finally got our first video done, not as nice as yours, but hei, gotta start somewhere

What a great video, thank you! Just wondering.. If you'd build that fence around the property, you wouldn't have those special encounters with wild animals anymore, like the bear once? Would that be better or not?

OMG 1kmbts 😧 I am so jealous. 45 seconds 😱

This is what I was looking for. Ended up in a horsfarm in Stockholm, pay 500$ rent and live next to to lakes in natereul reserve. Living 4% roul after selling house in Stockholm.

Be carfeul cutting down too many trees near the cabin. In summer it's quite nice to have some shade from the sun

Oh but when you build such a big fence you won't see any lynx coming along as you did before - and bears, neither 🤣

That’s great that you are on the grid. It’s a beautiful place. I love what you’ve done with it. It would be great if it had running water and a bathroom. Just wondering if you pay for tax property for your land? Also how long is your drive to the hospital with an Emergency Department?

Hmmmm, ok, some indept questions: Does sweden have property tax? (once you buy you need to keep paying).... Can it be bought with saved money? or are you forced to finance the money through a bank? Are foreigners allowed to buy one of these? How hard is it to get a hunting license in sweden?

Thanks for caring for nature and wildlife
