Off Grid Life | Building without big machines 

I am now 75 yrs old, and can no longer do what you are doing. 20 yr ago I built my garage, 30ft x 40ft, 2 stories, mostly by myself. I used the same step-by-step engineering approach as you. I enjoy watching you solve your problems to reach your goals. If you don't have the big machines, you can still do the job. It just takes more time and more thinking. Bravo!

Watching your videos has become my daily routine since the day one. There's something special in your videos. Its an eternal epiphany for me. I've been suffering from Chronic depression and feels lonely all the time. By watching u guys, I feel the love and care.. its like you're ma family.. Especially my little Cutie Pie 'Iver' makes my day 😘😘😘 I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Best Wishes For Days Ahead 😘😘😘 Love from US😍

There's something wonderful about these early vlogs. Just simple to watch but beautifully done ❤

It's amazing how watching so much hard work can be so relaxing :) I think the world would benefit from your pace. Thank you. Rich

I love the fact that you all are totally cool with reading during a meal.

I am quite impressed with your use of old techniques and your friends and wife who help you out so well. I know this vlog is a year old, but now I have to find how to do "binge" watching from the beginning. I wish I spoke Swedish --- your use of English is amazing----but by knowing Swedish, I could hear the inside jokes.

I LOVE how your dogs hide under the bed! They look so content and warm.

Great team work - that is going to be a lovely cabin.

So much tenderness in simplicity.

WOW...WHAT HEALTHY EATING! You seem gourmets! Perhaps a slice of 'dark Belgium/Swiss' chocolate to add a pound or two to your lean frames. You NEED it for alllllll the hard work you do. The both of you seem to be perfectionists...don't overdo it! You have done AMAZING work already...truly lovely workmanship...but it does not need to be done overnight. Steady, but easy does it! Isn't it a blessing to have LOTS of moisture rather than a dry, dusty climate. I sometimes get 'overwhelmed' by all the work I have to do as a widow, with a small character home in Canada, I find that doing a little, is better than nothing some days. God Bless!

Awesome guys. You work hard in cold conditions. But your work will pay off in the end. Keep it up.

That is a huge task, good to have some help, good to get these jobs done when you are young and able.

Mose: “we doing this for the drama” Well, I definitely was holding my breath! 🤣

The safety officers watching this have had a major heart attack 😂😂😱😱

Modern Vikings, long live old traditions and Scandinavian history!

You both (all) work so hard that it makes me feel guilty sitting here watching you from my warm home on the coast of Mexico. I love hearing the Swedish! I reminds me of my great-grandfather who immigrated from Jonkoping in 1894. He always called me, his first great-grandchild, his Svenska flicka.

"Safety first..... people!" Haha that got me. Just found your channel and decided to start watching from the very beginning. It's awesome to see how you guys live and all the work you. Things are rough but you guys keep making your lives better with hard work. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wish I had found you guys at the very beginning. Cheers!

Love it. Your living is, seriously like, the way of life. You guys are so handy and really know how to take care of yourselves. I wish I knew that kind of stuff.

I absolutely loved this one - I just found you guys today, I can't stop watching. You lovely people have made some very cool choices in this life and these projects. Well done. I can't wait to see more.

Holy cow! That is some impressive work!

You're a perfectionist in every thing that you do. Even cooking.

I am absolutely loving your videos!!! Watching them relaxes and somehow grounds me - thank you so much for all your effort! Great filming and editing, both you guys! And thanx to Mose, too! :) 19:01 "We're doin' this for the drama!" HAHAHAHA :D I was crackin' up, guys!!!! So hilarious!

Wow, good job! Your english is very good, by the way. Your home is going to be amazing and one you can take such pride in, as you made it!

This is a perfect video!!! Great filming skills!!!

In the end it is therapeutic to be able to say "we did it ourselves"!

I am a subscriber and just found this one today. A repeat of the early days is required and would give you guys a lot more future subscribers. I hope you read this. Fantastic stuff.

In the middle of a binge watching session. I’m glad I ate first, your cooking looked so good. Hi from Canada.

You are so inventive . I am always mesmerised watching you tackle all these things in such a smart way while learning. I love watching.

Still a lot of snow but you can see and “feel” the warmth of spring in the video with your energy. Good work and gymnastics getting the beam up.

beautiful video you can feel the emotion, good music selection too. keep it up

Loves watching the Three of you building that cottage, so good to watch,? Thanks fir sharing your video ❤️👍❤️

Matthias giving true meaning to my husbands favourite saying about building - you can do anything with a big enough hammer. 😂👍👏🌟

Great to see people not using machines! Love this! subbed!

This was fabulous! Thank you for sharing this part of the process with us.

I was so scared for you when you were up there with that chain saw!! Amazing though.

Wow, I was longing for a video of you and I found this video made 5 yrs ago! I didn't know that you worked on your new house for soooo many years... You are SUPER courageous!!! Nice to see the difference in time! 🥰💖✨

Hard work. Love hearing Swedish even if I don't understand it just sounds beautiful.

Absolutely IMPRESSIVE!!! Thank you.

The amount of chopped ginger in those omelet, OMG! I bet your tummy feel warm after the meal. Youb can crush ginger and boil with water with some sugar is good drink in cold day.

You really know how to enjoy the simple things. Great episode! Waiting for the new and fresh one. In my region it's hay harvesting time. Best wishes and good luck!!

Hope you guys have a happy and Prosperous New Year and of course the whole year through. And congrats on the coming blessed event. I can only hope that parenthood will bring you guys as much joy as it brought my wife and I.

whatever he made looks delicious!!!seems like you will never be out of the snow lol..so nice you have great friends that help

I think that this has got to be your best video yet (not to say your other videoes weren't good). I appreciate the English narration, but like hearing you speak to one another in your native tongue. It was nice to meet Mose. I will pay a visit to his site.. Thanks. Be blessed and be safe.

Great you could make some progress in this cold weather, thanks for sharing.

What a interesting garlic you’ve got there!

My dad was a carpenter and used to say don't push the nail in but "nail it" 😁

Respect you guys! 'We're doing this for the drama' - really though, I was watching this at the edge of my chair...

That is so cool you made a snow bench

It is so beautiful there!

Watching you set that beam was both interesting and a little scary!

Wow! You guys eat so healthy. You don’t even need to go to gym for exercise. You open your door and viola! They’re is ton and ton of work to be done on the farm. You guys will probably outlive most of us. Lol.

WoW That was a HEAVY & AWESOME Job! Good work All of you guys. P.S. The English word for wet snow is "Slush".

Excellent knife and culinary skills. Looks delicious.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice work on the house.

Respect !! You make this so good. It's amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

It seems you are travelling an interesting path together...

Wow! It's just like living it with you! It's coming together wonderfully!

That is Life! More power to you! (the rest is a PAIN).

Enjoyed so much!!!

That looked so dangerous!!!! Hurray some of the roof is up. GOOD JOB .

I'm completely impressed with your work!Thank you

So sweetly made is the meal shared ❤️

Wow healthy food you guys eats it’s amazing

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WAY OF LIFE YOU ALL HAVE

Bet you can't wait to move in. Really fun to watch it come along.

I wish I could have been there to help you shovel. It would get me in shape for backpacking season. :)

Interesting to see your progress without using big machinery, nice job! Thank you for sharing.

Your videos are amazing! So encouraging to get out and do something.

I also love to read while eating! :)

what a beautiful place

Very difficult work but you made it look easy with your step by step team work. Great job.

Another great video. Thank you so much for sharing. The house is coming along well. Getting the ridge pole up was a big step. Very nice.

I have SO much resepect for you guys!

Good life freedom . People come back very well . 🌧️🌸✨🌲🌳

We just started watching you and your baby. Yesterday I went back to the beginning. I've had small ranches with horses and know the work, but that was in the warmth of California. I respect your efforts!! About the front room where you leave coats and shoes, I would call it the front entryway. A mudroom is usually not the main entrance.

Good job guy's 👍👍

Awesome video, you do a great job in all you do...Love USA thumbs up

love the music unfortunatly m going backwards looking through your stock so if i seem disjointed you now know why

Good progress on your new home.

Having a good team is the best, amazing. Your young but you have the ability to do that.. Subscriber from philippines 🇵🇭 love your channel and I can’t wait to see the baby 👶.. Godbless you..

Laborious! Congratulations!

Fantastic Video! 👍🏻

Brilliant photography

Awesome friends you have! 🖤🖤

I am impressed on the notch you cut to set the roof beam. I just finished watching an old video about as old as this one from a youtube channel call Townsend and sons. John Townsend and friends built a small log cabin like they did in the 1700's here in the United States. And they were doing it like you are.

Awesome viewing experience

Slowly taking shape...

WOW love your videos! Good luck this next year

I would love more information on your principles/thoughts on traditional timber construction, very interesting...
