I rarely give my very grown up children advice, unless they ask me. My experience is that this works best. I could give you some advice, but I am biting my tongue. Let it be enough to say that you are doing the very best you can do. Becoming a parent is one of the best things in life and with the first one there is a lot to learn. You will be alright. Support from others is of the greatest importance. Getting help with this new adventure is ok. Parents whom help in all kinds of ways. If that is not possible then friends need to step up and help with all kinds of jobs. Most important of all is that you stop that nasty voice in your head. You are not a piece of shit, unless you think of shit as in manure. Fertile and making things grow. How about that? Thinking of yourself as a fertile spirit who is doing his best and has been making lots of things grow! I hope this does not sound like advice. Take good care of yourself and your little family. Good luck with it

Thank you Kalle for another beautiful video and for talking about the subject of comparing. I think everyone can relate to that in different degrees nowdays. And it takes away all the joy from creating. Even comparing yourself to yourself! You remember we spoke about that horrible top 10 list in the youtube studio, which always compare your latest video to your earlier videos. So many times I’ve lost the joy just because that list have told me that ”i was better before”. That is so heartbreaking, and it takes away the focus on what is truly important and why you are doing what youre doing in the first place. But social media is made to make us compare and get addicted and constantly chasing more. Im so glad to hear that you are taking action by stop following accounts that stresses you. I think just being concious about this and how it effects your wellbeing is such a good ”shield” to all the noise out there. And to get back in the heart. I so much admire you and Christine for the work you do and the life your are building together ❤️ In the midst of all the renovations and the new exciting chapter that will soon unfold in your life, I wish you a peaceful year ❤✨

Don’t forget, Kalle, that you are nesting as well. It’s not just a mothering instinct. Not just to protect but to provide. It’s a very natural and masculine characteristic. My husband went through it as well. And you should rest without any guilt. My mother always said sleep when your baby sleeps. Best advice ever-for both parents when your little one arrives!

I remember when you taught me likes, subscribers, etc don't matter (entirely), it's your core audience that matter. The people who take the time to comment, watch every video and engage with your content. They will be with you regardless if you post less videos, or take a break. I also struggle with the feeling of needing to be super proactive on social media (I think all RU-vidrs do) but sometimes I forget to focus the most on the core audience. I'm glad you've restarted your Patreon, they're the keepers, wholesome people who want to support you :)

I do have another suggestion for the water situation that could help now. Alaskans that are chopping through ice to get water often make a “spring box”. This is a wooden box that surrounds the opening to the water. It is heavily insulated. There is a insulated lid on top that is pulled off. Underneath, the water doesn’t freeze or only freeze a little. Much less effort to get your water.

So much of what you said about not being able to rest is very relatable. I’m a stay at home mom and my home is my work. It’s like living at my office in a way, I’m always surrounded by my work. I can only manage to relax when I physically can’t do the work I need to do at home, such as when I’m not at home. Or sick. Recently I realized how bad things had gotten because I was stuck in bed with Covid and it was the least stressed I’d felt in a long while. Surely there are better ways of getting rest than being sick! In any case I hope you manage to find some healthy ways to let go and relax in the coming months so you can rest a little before the baby comes.

I suspect your feelings are deeper than you might think. Feeling like you always have to improve, not being or doing enough. Realising is a necessary and important first step. I would look into the "why". Each time you answer, ask yourself again "why?". There is a good chance it will take you back to your childhood.

Love your honesty Kalle! I was like you 1,5-2 years back, could not sit still and felt lazy when I needed to just do nothing for an entire day. I almost hit the wall, and I'm still recovering from stress even though I didn't get totally burnet out (by that I mean not being able to get out of bed). But I believe that the more you rest the better you get at it. Now I rest most of my days to recover, and it's an absolute necessity and I no longer feel lazy. Regarding your bathroom, I wish you all the best and would love if there was some way to make a donation to you and your family to make your dream come true without having to commit to a monthly payment. Love from Linköping (south of Sweden) ❤

I'm going to offer a different comment from a different perspective, Kalle. I play the Grass is Greener on the other side of RU-vid, also. I find all these great projects and ideas and I literally stress myself every day if I should be accomplishing more. I live in the US. When I watch your videos, however, you instantly settle me down and don't let myself get freaked out or overwhelmed. I think the reason is because of your soothing, non-judgemental style. It helps me go inside myself and feel good about the world. Here is this guy, living in Northern Sweden in a cabin with a partner and it feels absolutely beautiful. I realize you have struggles, but the way you go about life and relate to it is very soothing and helpful. I know weird, yes. But you offer hope. Hope for the rest of us to get out of this rat race(especially in the US) and be more free. Thank you for a great channel and I wish you and your family the best this coming 2024. I know you will do it.

Journaling is a brilliant idea. I kept an online diary for like 5 years and recently I decided to re-read it from the start. I was in absolute shock and horror when I realized while reading it how for the past 2 years or so I pored hatred on myself basically none stop. Being angry with myself, insulting for smallest mistakes. I was bullying me. It was an eye opener. I had to work on re-wiring how I think and talk to myself. So yeah, journaling can do amazing things for you.🌟

Never had sleepless nights…. journal the journey of being new parents with photos too… to be able to look back and reflect…. Love journaling ❤🎉❤…memories are everything in life…

Looking at your fireplace it definitely requires some improvements. For example take a look at the Russian masonry fireplace and in particular Kuznetsov stove (and its many variations) for heating (I have build one and have video on my channel). Considering the fire-keeping regime (over the harsh winter season) you have, it will be a lot more efficient in burning and retaining heat. Also about your water concerns, have you thought about having a 10-20 m3 water storage (from your stream, rain), which clearly will need to be subgrounded (as not to freeze) connecting it to the house and using a simple hand-cranked pump to draw the water. It could be a considerably more cost effective method then drilling.

I found myself nodding along to so much of this video, Kalle, especially the part about trying to relax and feeling guilty about not getting things done. I felt guilty over my Christmas holidays about not relaxing "correctly." Like if I scrolled on my phone I was annoyed with myself that I wasn't reading a book. Definitely get that water well dug. Simple living shouldn't mean going without modern innovations. If you're having to work so hard just to drink water or take a shower it's probably taking away from all the other things in the area you could be doing or the projects that make your heart sing.

I fully understand what its like living with no bathroom or running water. Im 70 years old and have always lived in a modern house with all convenience's. But there came a time I could no longer live in my big house alone. My son living 1000 miles away built me a tiny cabin on his property, summer of 2022. It was quite the challenge with no running water and no bathroom. Also living far north of the USA ,my first brutal winter. ( a bathroom with running water was under construction to my Tiny cabin, but wouldn't be working until the summer) that was a wonderful year with special memories. But Im from south of the USA, and needed my southern roots. The Tiny cabin is now a summer place. I spend my winter months back to my house in the deep south. ...May I suggest a bedside toilet for indoor use for Christine, (one of the medical type) they are quite inexpensive. I had one "inside my cabin" before the bathroom was built, and it was a life saver for me. Just a thought until she gets her real bathroom? .... Congratulations on all new things to come. keeping you in my prayers. ox

My mind goes round and round and I feel bad although I am pushing myself to my absolute limits all the time. It´s a real challange to develope a healthy balance for yourself without comparing non-stop (feel also stressed out when watching other instrument makers and what great ideas they have and how productive they seem to be and how well they present themselves on social media blablabla). It´s hard to stay true to ourselves, finding out what keeps us healthy and happy and not jumping on the train of higher, faster, better. Hugs from Stockholm.

When I lived in the middle of nowhere, in the 80's with 3 small children we build a bathroom and a septic tank. First we had a toilet and bath tub that drained into the septic tank. Our next step was a kitchen wood stove with a water reservoir so we could have heated water all the time. Then we ran a pipe through the kitchen wall into the bathroom so we could fill the tub with warm water both bathing and doing laundry. As time went on we built a pump at the kitchen sink and had that water drain into the same line to the septic tank. We pumped water out of the river most of the year and eventually put in a well. Enjoy your rest as much as your work😊

My first born is 19 months old and I have to tell you, keep doing what you can to make life maybe a little easier for yourselves when your little one is born. That will be time well spent. You can’t store up sleep. If only we could. Lol Balance and rest is much needed, but you don’t want to spend all your time working when the baby is born. Being a parent is the absolute best thing ever! You will want to spend every moment with your little family, and you should. Don’t miss anything you don’t have to for at least the first year. You will never regret it. Babies go through so many amazing changes their first year. Time goes by too quickly and it’s something you can’t get back. Babies needs are very simple. They want to eat, sleep, and feel loved. You will be great parents. But do make time to rest. That is good for our overall health. You got this dad:)

Our son has just fitted one in his tiny home which is off grid and he is more than happy with it, instead of having to light the fire for some heat at the end of the day working. Now he uses the remote control and switches it on in bed so as he can get up into a warm room.

Kalle it makes perfect sense to make changes to your cabin so it fits what you need for your family. Its also your cabin, so making changes is entirely up to you (and Christina) and no one else. I have never lived in temperatures as cold as that, but having a more reliable water source, especially with a baby, and having the room you need as your family grows is really important to be able to stay there. I hope you manage to make the cabin stay warmer for you as that is going to be so important for the baby. But its also important to have work/life/rest balance so again I hope you manage to make that happen x

After 67 years my secret to happiness is live with no expectations & never compare myself to anyone else….I totally limit my access to Social Media as I find it’s like being in a town with a ton of people not knowing who to trust….its just a broader outreach…. good luck in accomplishing your goals……and Yup kids change your life in ways you can’t even imagine

And now it effect my body so much that pain is an everyday companion. And my hormon levels flys down up and down like it want basicly😢 So please, do take care of yourself. The same goes for everyone else who reads this. Your body and mind are precious, love it and care for it❤

I feel all the feelings you do. It amazes me. Even though I knew that I wasn't the only one in the world to compare with others on social media, I did feel like I was alone feeling like sh%t trying to relax/can't stop thinking of all the things that I need to do etc. I haven't been able to read a chapter in a book or sit still to watch an episode of a series without getting up and completing something so I continue to feel productive. This has gone on for years--I'm 59. I am so glad to hear you are figuring this out earlier than I. Thank you for being honest with your feelings and sharing them. I feel a sense of freedom knowing that I'm not alone and that there are ways that I can deal with it--unfollowing accounts etc. Resting more and being more present in my life and surroundings is my top priority for 2024.

I think that is a great idea to slow down. And I know it is not easy to do without feeling guilty. But think of it as your job to take care of you. And you first so you can be good and rested and helpful to your famil. And I learned that when the baby sleeps you should sleep too.

I live in Minnesota, in U.S.A. when my husband & i were first married, we lived in unheated farmhouse. It was heated with 2 woodstoves. Our kitchen and bathroom were next to each other and our lower big woodstove kept both warm & prevented the pipes from freezing. We lived in a town, so more amenities were available. We switched to furnace when our twins were born. We did remodel our bathroom because it was poorly insulated. Good luck keeping up with things. Can i suggest a few things: 1. Insulate the important rooms only. 2. Add a wood room in your cabin- ours held 1 1/2 pallets of wood. We kept 3 pallets of wood outside too. This way you have a constant supply readily available. Then you won't need to go get wood everyday. Make sure the inside wood is cut to fit your stove doors. 3. Cover your current water hole with pine bushes which will help insulatie it too. 4. Get a good soapstone for the top of your wood stove and bake bread there. Rustic loaves are easier. 5. Remember you are in charge of your own destiny. I'm 67 years old and that was a perfect lifestyle for my life when i was 25-34 years old. I may not live completely like that but i still grow my own crops and purchase locally & organically.

I think what you're saying about pushing yourself too hard, is so true for a lot of us. We compare ourselves all the time, and that's something that so easily gets worse due to social media. Even though I make videos myself, and am on social media that way... I'm the first to admit that social media can be very toxic. I think it was brave of you to unfollow similar channels, and I hope 2024 will be a year when you feel better! ☺

I'm 23 and have a 2 year old daughter now. Becoming a mom really forced me to look at how I prioritize taking care of myself and how that directly impacts my baby. After giving birth, I felt very guilty about resting and being "lazy" even though I couldn't walk lol. Being a parent forces you to work on this and helps you incorporate rest into your hourly life with a newborn. The important thing is to look at what you value right now, and that is renovations and time with your girlfriend and baby boy when he comes. I promise that when your baby arrives, the only important thing in your mind will be spending time with him, sleeping and helping your girlfriend. Parenthood completely changes your priorities. Yes other things are still important, but the baby will always come first. But in order for the baby to come first, rest for you will become high on the list of things to do daily. You cannot be a good father and boyfriend without as much rest as you can get in the newborn stage, which won't be a lot lol. You'll swe your girlfriend go through post partum, breastfeeding, healing from birth and see how much rest will benefit her mind and body to have a level of homeostasis during a time of big change. You also deserve this rest because you're going to be a huge support to your new family. Make a list of the most important things you need to get done before the baby comes, water, kitchen etc and then let everything else be. A good question to ask yourself is "what do I want to model to my son about work and rest?" Do you want your son growing up with a dad passing out from exhaustion? Or a dad who works hard, spends time with family, and allows himself to decompress?

I feel you... I homeschool 3 kids and am a homemaker. My husband is so kind and never says anything negative. But I have these high standards for what my big American (lol) house is suppose to look like. Laundry done, folded put away, organic meals three times a day, clean bathrooms, meals for friends etc. I also realized that I am putting these expectations on myself. Not my husband or kids. I made a huge change for Christmas 2023. I didn't host any parties. It was beautiful and brought much joy to me. Cheers to 2024 and taking better care of ourselves.

Self inflicted pressures for sure. I went through that phase as well in my 30s. I'm almost 50yo and really value down time equally as what I produce, pacing myself and not comparing. I use RU-vid to motivate not compare, aware of my own limits. Society values productivity, but we don't have to be robots. Canadians love you. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing.

You did the right thing. Never compare yourself to anyone else. It is fine to look at others for inspiration, if their goals are the same as yours. But everyone has different goals, abilities, and motivations. We can only do what what we can and that means judging ourselves by our own standards. I have only seen a few of your videos, but if I compared myself to you, I would be very sad because I would have liked to live as you do, but could never have pushed myself to do it.

I would be sad if I compared myself to his life because I would be absolutely bored out of my mind. He said he unfollowed everyone. I’m trying to understand Why would someone else’s happy life make him unhappy? They have their own life and he has own life. We all live different lives. I live in NYC where I am so spoiled to have everything I need at the tip of my fingers. I wouldn’t want it any other way! Is it because he don’t want to question himself ? About if he is making the right decision for him and his family. I never understand why people isolate themselves from the entire world. It’s ok if it’s your choice. However, to bring children up in an isolated place with no peers or relations from a young age. I feel is selfish and setting them up for a fall when they get older and you or your wife are no longer around. They will not be 100% prepared to deal with life in every setting. I would absolutely lose my mind if I lived in such a desolate place. So far away from civilization. What if they had a medical emergency like a stroke or heart attack? Or any other medical emergency? Emergency personnel will never get to them in time. Looks pretty, but I will pass on it.

Kalle, the struggle is real, I feel it too. Being your own critic to a high level, and a perfectionist too. We tell ourselves that we need to do more, better, faster, etc etc. Why? Why? The upside is that we "only" have to change our own mindset. Taking charge. Lucka till!!
@aurorainana3691

Dear Kalle, I really love your videos and what you are talking about, your dreams, your insights. In my own lifetime experiences I had to learn that I am not made for this achievement-oriented society and still, to a lesser extent for a life in the digital world. For me, modern society with its expectations and conditioning is taking my soul away. But all I ever wanted is living from my soul, just doing all the things my heart is telling me. It took me a really long time and strong effort to scratch away the layers of conditioned "personality" and to become the free thinker I originally was in the core of my being. I also lived a year or so in the wilderness of eastern Canada, where mother nature took over my being and the way I'm sensing the world, changed my perception and my awareness, my counciousness. Today I find myself much closer to my own personal thruth than I ever was before. And my personal thruth has nothing to do with anything "society" generally and medial influence is conveying. I found some kind of inner truth and guidance that is implying inner freedom to me. " I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization" so to say. creative powers took over and are guiding me through life. And since I quit quite early a normal working life, I am able to follow more natural rhythms of life - which means everything has the right time - rest & action, aloneness & company, sensitivity & assertiveness, gladness & sadness, growth & stagnancy ...... I don't have to push anymore, just to be here in the moment and to go along with whatever is showing up. Take good care of yourself and your energy, dear Kalle - walk your path in appropriate pace and always follow your joy , your heart ❤

I enjoyed this video because I have experieced many of your thoughts. The difference is that I just retired. I realized that my whole life was managed from outside myself: parents, school, job. Now I must manage myself, ballancing new activities in a rural setting, new time frames, my emotional and creative responses to it all. It has been a big learning curve and do not see an end to that. And I am happy about it being this way. So drop the "shit" nickname and keep going and learning. Georgia
