This Family has been Living in a Cabin in the Forests of Sweden for 9 years 

Did you like this video? Then you're gonna love my brand new video "Daily Routines in the Forest": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jFEueaHm2xs.html

Thank you for making this beautiful video of our home. It was so nice to have you here! Looking forward to next time.

Hello. I am from a place in New England called Vermont. We always have grazed sheep and large herds of cows. This is the best way for living and raising children. As a young mother I carried all our water and washed by hand. We worked on the lands daily and were always healthy. Thank you.

My two favorite youtubers in one video!!! ❤😭🙏🏻 Sooo cool to see you all together!!

The life that Tovar and Mathias have created for Ivar is beautiful. I have watched them for a long while and that child is getting the best upbringing, healthy food and lifestyle. He gets to grow up in nature, he has all of the attention he needs, his parents aren't away at work, he plays alongside of them while they work. They are a wonderful couple.

Hey Kalle, I'm a brazilian physician and since I graduated in 2019 I've been working non-stop in a crazy schedule even more because of covid. Sometimes all I want is to run away into the woods and be left alone... Watching your videos give me just that feeling of peace and serenity that I'm looking for. Keep it up, my bests for you and your family. Maybe someday I get to live a simple and slow life like yours.

The absolute beauty of a simple lifestyle. Everything takes longer, but you know what your animals are eating so you know what you are putting into your body. Healthy, wealthy and wise.

My grandfather actually migrated from Sweden to Maine. I was born in Maine. My grandfather taught me everything I know about the woods. I have tried to carry that knowledge on to my children and now my grandchildren. I have always attributed my ability to survive and my strength to my grandfather. I loved and admired in every way. I truly enjoyed watching your family. I to always wanted to live in the alagash which was a uncharted wilderness in northern Maine. I still day dream of being there to this day.

Ivar is a beautiful child, growing up in a beautiful place with beautiful people. How I wonder what he will choose to do in his life!

Growing up poor on a farm I learned to pray when it was butchering time and say thanks before I ate for the life given to sustain ours. My job was to hold the chickens when mother chopped their heads. If you decide to eat meat, you can do it in a humane and loving way. I may have cried eating some pet animals but I was always thankful for food. Beautiful video, looking forward to safe improvements that take advantage of modern knowledge for building and improving your lives.

I have learnt something tonight. You attract others of your kind when you are at total peace with who you are inside. I am almost there, but not quite yet. Thanks for sharing your life. And your beautiful country. 😜

For a long time I dreamt of moving in to my cabin in Norway. Now that that’s a reality I dream of having a farm. A farm with sheep, cows and chickens. The only issue is that I could never butcher them, and when the butcher comes to take the animals I could not know about it. 😅 For now I’m hoping I can help some of my neighbors with their farm animals. Next year I’m hoping to build a greenhouse to get some more food from the garden. This year we only had herbs and tomatoes. Thank you for yet another beautiful video Kalle! ❤️🌲

My boy is so much like little Ivar. I think someday you're going to be an excellent father Kalle. Something about the way you interacted with him and emphasized him in the video shows me that you have a great appreciation for children.

As a chef that grew up as a bison rancher, i can attest to the importance of knowing where your food comes from. Knowing how your body feels. This is beautiful, friend! Kindred spirits, to be certain! Tusen tak!

Thank you for another view of a family that I have been following for the past year. In the early 1970s I lived a similar homesteading lifestyle on one of the Gulf Islands on the coast of British Columbia, Canada: no running water, no electricity, raising goats, chickens and sheep. Now in my 70s, I follow several 'back to the land' homesteading sites. One in particular and who seems to be a leader in this chosen lifestyle is Justin Rhodes who lives in North Carolina. What viewing these people has impressed upon me is the real need and commitment to 'partnership. Without it, is failure. I admire the couples who have made sober commitment to this lifestyle. It really is the superior choice in living a balanced life anywhere on our beautiful Earth. Sincerely, Sharon Penneyford, Victoria, BC, Canada🐝🐝🍀

That’s one thing about the self sustaining lifestyle, most of us are first generation homesteaders. I’ve always lived in the country but homesteading is on a whole new level and I absolutely love it. I’m raising my grandkids out here and I pray they pass it down as well ❤️

I moved to a small island about 2 years ago and I still struggle with the "friendship" aspect A LOT. I really hope I will attract the right type of people soon. Thank you for this video ❤️

The challenges living off grid as you say takes time. We live in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, but we have power. Our age has changed what our perspective on how we want to live. We have a tractor to move snow and to use to lift heavy items on the property. I hope your roof is done with winter on its way. Take care Ernest

Life is an unfinished project . . . How quickly you do it is less important than doing all of it with joyful, quality craftsmanship. I think you are all great craftsmen and women in the art of living beautifully.

Love Mathias, Tova, and little Ivar, your video of them is beautiful. They are truly a very special family, humble, down-to-earth, and easy to listen to. I have a lot of respect for them, raising a family on their terms and sharing a ton of knowledge along the journey. God bless them. Thanks for sharing their story.

“I think we can learn a lot by just slowing down and accepting that things take time”… Hmm those words my friend are gold. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! Really loved it.

How nice you met each other. Really liked it when you , Kalle, said that you don’t always have to agree on everything but still can be friends and be with your tribe. And can admit when you’re wrong! Talasbuan is a gorgeous and beautiful place ! Even if the projects take time. Mathias & Tuva are trying to make a better place like Christine and you do too. Both you’re an inspiration to many . Thank you for that💚🌲🍁

🌲🌲🌲🌲 Kalle. Thank you. A quote from your video during 4/2020, "You don't get a meaningful life by adding more... You achieve it by choosing less." My chosen family has said this many times to me throughout my adult life. I am in the process of purchasing land to develop a permaculture/husbandry homestead. Thank you for your encouraging words and for letting us be a part of your journey.

My soul wants this! The simplicity and being close to nature. Thank you for sharing.

You fed my soul today. I needed this. I homestead with sons in the mountains of Montana USA. I have been sick. I needed this nourishment for my soul.

The authenticity of both of these families is exceptional. I really enjoyed watching @Talasbuan from a different perspective. It shows how honest they are. Much love to all over you!!!!

I follow this family for years , before you and Christine .. watched the child / son be born etc great family

This video is magical! You are an excellent filmaker. You should sell this to Netflix that more people would see how wonderful and peaceful can people live. Thank you for making this!

What lovely people! Can you imagine prioritizing where the cows will graze over where you will live? wow, God bless you all xx

Another great video, with lovely people, WOW 9 years they have lived with no power or running water, that's huge dedication to the lifestyle. I love how they know where their food came from, not like the supermarket. And wonderful to be around others where you don't need a social face. Their baby is very lucky to experience this natural and simple style of living.

Kalle, your videos are very important to me. I live alone as you used to. Sadly I am not in a cabin in a rural area but a brick built bungalow in a town, and it might sound strange, but it is just as lonely. I like my own company now and keep busy with creative projects, painting, drawing, crocheting hand made blankets in mosaic style. Sadly I am not self sufficient, but making good food with organic produce is important. I am disabled and unable to garden or grow my own things, and as much as I would love to isolate myself in rural place, it is not possible. That is where you and your videos come in to my life. Inspiring me to go on with my life as it is, and to see a young couple living their dream and sharing it, so thank you 🙏 to both of you. Merry Christmas 🎄

Honestly, I just love seeing your creations. You ARE so authentic and real, and seeing you with all of the other honest creators makes my heart light up. 💕 I hope many channels adopt this type of living to share the beauty of simple living.

Thank you for presenting your videos in English so I can enjoy them. As someone who everyday is shedding the life she knew for an unfamiliar future, it is nice to know that there are folks who share this lifestyle.

Videos like this are so good for the soul. I felt myself sigh and the weight came off my shoulders watching this. It's beautiful. Thank you :) x

Beautiful video, well done and inspiring. We can really find ourselves when we detach ourselves from societal norms. From Florida U.S.A.

This is life.

I've lived in northern Ontario Canada my whole life, I just love the tranquility and freedom of the outdoors. Sweden reminds me so much of my home, that some day soon I will visit and not feel homesick when I'm there!

Thank you so much. When you have a little baby at home, you will always have unfinished projects. You are all amazing people.

Hello from Australia. I am originally from the Netherlands, so I can understand the weather! What I really like is the little boy and how he interact with the animals. Also great to show how some people in this country live. Thank you for sharing.

YES! A lesson I have had to learn is all these projects take time. Slowing down, growing my own food and preparing it has been the greatest blessing! Another lovely video! You and Talasbuan are excellent videographers... you are both so talented. This is a treasure.

Oh my uterus! Little Ivar is so adorable 🥰

Ivar looks like such a happy baby 😄💚 Glad you've found each other, like-minded people 😊

Sweden seems like a beautiful place!! Awesome video! I love seeing all these humans living out how they want. It's very peaceful. Awesome video. Thank you. I love the music!

I have been a Talasbuan adept and patreon for some years now and you have shown me a whole new perspective. They are even more gorgeous than they show. These people are so humble. They don't even show half of their loveliness. I love that "open to beeing wrong". Yesss that's how you meet!! Of course I immediately subscribed to your channel. There will probably be some binge watching be going on these weeks...Thank you and all the best to you from Holland.

What a lovely family and so down to earth. Thanks for letting us into your beautiful home.

Talasbuan is dear to many of us who follow those three dear ones. Thank you for this video sharing your time together! And thank you for pointing out that projects take time when you have a whole off grid life to manage including animals and a little bitty human, too!

I remember when you went to visit Mathis’s and his family. I have been watching them for a long time now. They both are EXTREMELY hard working individuals. They may have several unfinished projects, but they never stop working…I have so very much respect for both of them. It’s like you said…everything takes time. There projects are HUGE for just two people, then when you include everyday chores on top of it!😳 it’s definitely a young persons like style. I get exhausted just watching them!🤣. The effort also when they create their vlogs is magical. The time put into filming and editing, well you know. It’s consuming! Thank you for your vlog, it’s love. Wishing you continued happiness and health.

Thank you for this video. I love this family. They work incredibly hard and their home looks so warm and cozy. I totally admire their lifestyle and all they have accomplished. I look forward to seeing their new home being built. Thanks again for capturing the essence of who they are and their beautiful property.

So, I was watching one of Jonna's video and the phone rang so I had left the video running while I was on the phone and I came back out and Kalle's video was on but with Ivar staring at me! lol I thought, hey, I know this little cutie. I had to read the title to figure out my confusion. Anyhow, yes, I follow all three of your channels and I wish you all the best. I am in Florida, born and raised, never even seen snow except for a few flurries that melted before they hit the ground. That is why I gravitated to your channels to begin with was the snow. Now I just enjoy them because you are all wonderful people. Have a good day!

It was lovely to see you meeting someone ‘you just click with’ and have similar interests. The drone footage was stunning! Thank you for making another amazing video!

Kalle, I'm from Ethiopia and I enjoy your content very much. Your life style is what I envisioned for mine if things turn out for the best in the future. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God bless!!!

What a lovely video! It's really so inspiring that they had no knowledge of homesteading prior to moving there. I also love that outdoor kitchen, it's now a goal of mine to have one when I own land 😊 This was a really good and necessary reminder for me to slow down and be present 🌲

I very much enjoyed your visit to Talasbuan. I watch all of their vlogs and enjoy them & yours.

Yesterday Jonna, today Kalle new vlog! What a great weekend ❤️😁grtz from 🇧🇪

I do enjoy watching these videos from various “youtubers “ about simplifying lives and living in nature appreciating her terms - adjusting our pace. A lot of people seem to be longing for a change in their current lifestyle; wanting to get out of the rat race. However, we viewers should remember that watching someone’s video is not life - it is a collage they choose to show. All of us cannot for various reasons move into remote cottages and live off the land BUT we can practice a mental state of “Talasbuan”/“Kalle Flodin”/“Jonna” etc in our everyday lives wherever we live and whatever we do. It’s about stopping in the midst of it all and breathing, seeing the beauty around in both both nature and people, appreciating what we have rather than thinking we are lacking, being kind to ourselves and others, saying thanks and asking how can I help. Accepting that we need help and support.I wish all of you the very best in finding your own “Talasbuan”❤️🙏🏻

As long as the different ”tribes” can accept each other’s way of living. The choices we make are often coloured by the way we were brought up. Not always easy to break away from but this video can inspire.

I dearly love your videos! I grew up on a farm & I miss the life & the country very much. But being from Mississippi, USA., we have nothing that compares to your forest, the sky, clean air. I could definitely see myself living where you are, even at 59 years old. Thank you so much for sharing your home & your time, it's such a joy to me ❤

Best crossover in the "nordic youtubers" section ever. It's obvious that your video quality is outstanding but I want to mention it anyway. There are so many details in the way you produce your videos, like fact that the dynamic range in the fire scenes is so good. I just love it when you can see all the details in the flame and still have a bright enough surrounding, although I often fail to achieve that look myself 🤣 But these are things I always notice and like a lot.

My name is lonneke from Holland,we are so proud of you all,you bring peace,kindness and art to this world,be happy

The beauty of simplicity is so underrated, I applaud you!

Don't sweat the unfinished projects. There will always be unfinished projects. Down the line the projects you got done years ago will need refinishing. We've had our home for about 24 years. The first project we tackled was the kitchen. Now, we desperately need to redo it. The tiles are worn, the cabinets need refacing, appliances need to be replaced...etc. The key is not to feel defeated. Just do your best, and take one day at a time, and work on the most pressing projects. You'll get there. The great thing is that you are documenting everything, and one day, you can look back and see how far you've come. You are so inspiring! Keep up the good work. Sharing on Tova and Mattias' channel too!

How interesting, this is definitely different. I’ve watched them quite a bit, they’ve a nice channel too.

I wish you the very Best! OMG! Hubby and I are kinda doing the same thing moving North in Ontario at 60 and 63. Going HOME. Back where our hearts and souls are. It's a huge leap. But that's where happiness is. It MUST be done. I absolutely LOVED watching the the Liittle Man! He is absolutely lovable. As a Granny of 2, wish I could cuddle him. Nurture him. He is special to be be cherished. Best wishes to you. If I was there, I would help

What a lovely video. Very interesting conversations and great composition in your footage. That lil boy is adorable 🥰

Beautifully done Kalle. You have represented not only the Talasbuan family but yours as well with kindness, respect and compassion. The simplicity and gentleness of your lifestyles are so captivating. And your images are just....Wow!! Thank you ❤️

Your message about Things in Life that take time to realize , bringing joy in life, touched me a lot. That's going totally in the opposite way we have been trained to live, but it sounds really much more enjoyable. Greetings to you and Christine. Love the idea of women Circle. 💚

I watched your video today Kalle ... and something squeezed my heart. What lovely people, all five, what a wonderful simplicity of life. And this closeness to nature. Thank you, by creating such a video, you are making this world and our hearts a better place.

Thank you for making this, it was just so lovely to watch. Aspiring to live like that and provide everything for yourself is hard work but very rewarding. I greatly admire all of you for the journeys you have chosen. 😊🇬🇧

I found you through Talasbun and am now a subscriber! My family and I have a 2acre homestead in Texas and are working towards simple living and self sustainability. Beautiful video! Thank you!

Beautiful athmosphere .... I love when people follow their own path, their heart's dream ... Thank you for the inspiration! Perhaps this lifestyle doesn't suit everyone, but what this video does, is that it inspires people to listen to their inner voice, telling them how their innermost being wishes to live ... I mean, no matter where we live, it is possible to create inner beauty. At least, that is my experience.

I am so delighted to see that you and Mathias have met and it would appear you had a lot in common and the young ladies as well. I thought it when Kalle, said that you don’t always have to agree on everything but still can be friends and be with your tribe, he hit the nail on the head so to speak. Thank you for yet another beautiful video Kalle! Greetings from the UK. Have a loveely day.

A beautiful place with nice people. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

A loving kind hearted person always attracted to a kinder loving people. Thank god you find great friends. Just keep your friendships real and honest.

To see Talasbuan through new eyes is so wonderful. I am so glad to have found you and your dear wife through Talasbuan. I look forward to learning and seeing new things through your videos. 💖

Thank you for reminding me.......... how I miss my life like this back in the 70's- 80's in Australia!! ENJOY your lives guys!!

Watching from the United States I've been watching them from the beginning I just wish they get their big cabin done

Greetings from Mexico. I came across your videos a few days ago (december 2022) but been following Talasbuan for more than a year. I am so happy you connected with each other and visited. Mathias and Tuva looked very relaxed having you and Christine visiting. Ivar is a joy. Wish you all 5 the very best these holidays and in 2023.

You guys catched so special and heartwarming moments so perfektly. Thank you so much for let us be a part of this :)

Enjoyed seeing you both interact with other you tubers. I have watched the Talasbuan channel and admire how they meet the challenges of their life while raising a child, They always seem so calm. A lovely characteristic

I love how beautiful it is over there. Even though I actually live right next to the forest, I wouldn't mind living where you guys are. You're incredible people, living an incredible life. Lots of respect to you from the Netherlands, where I'm trying to start a slower, self sustaining homestead as well. Thank you for inspiring us!

This video just compliments Mathias, Tova, & Ivar. They have beautiful scenery all around them. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video of Talasbuan.

I loved that one orange tree standing out on the mountain, beautiful. Loved this video, you and Christine seem so relaxed 💕

This is so beautiful I need this life... A simple life. With no stress. No gas. No electricity. With good food. Good air. Everything you do, you do it with your own hands... You won't get bored in such a place I would love to have such little secret house

So wonderful. I didn't want it to end!! 💖🌲

Yes I agree with slowing down. Learning to take your time. Appreciate more what you have.

Kalle, this was next level storytelling! I enjoyed it so much 😍😊 ✨ thank you for making these kind of videos and introducing us to Tova and Mathias 🌲 love and support from Germany!!

This makes me miss Sweden. Big respect, from England ❤

I just happened upon your channel today and I love it. You do an amazing job with your camera angles and drone shots. Your cabin in the woods is beautiful.

The life that I always love, remembering my childhood at the village that away from electricity....we were so happy cooking outside together with nature...thank you for the video..best wishes from Bali Indonesia

This video was so calming and good for the soul 🌞 Watching it in the dark before starting my working week definitely strikes me about how much I want to leave the city !

I'd love to spend my 2 weeks vacation right there 😍 breath taking peace and quiet. Nature at its best 👌

To me as a viewer of this channel, it shows me insight into how other factions of the world exist. Not in a purely dramatical sense but how we co-exist in our own little areas and how we interact with what can be a daunting relationship meeting and interacting with new friends. This past pandemic I have have lost so many good friends, too many to state on here and in my own way I take time to reflect on their lifestyles and how we interacted together. Life is hard, no matter how we see one another and what aspects of life we try to overcome.

I can feel my blood pressure relax and anxieties seem to drift away watching your presentations. Thank you…

Hiya Mathias, Tuva and Ivar! Nice to meet you! Great collab Kalle. Thankyou!

idk why this video makes my stress and anxiety disappear instantly, such as anxious about my work, career anxiety and so on. thank you Kalle for the videos.

I've been a patreon of Talasbuan for more than 1,5 years, and got to know Kalle and Christine, an this channel, from Talasbuan's video of your visit at their place, and now I've subscribed and watches some videos from this channel too. Like with Talasbuan, I have the same "problem" here: The videos are too short! :D But luckily, there are prior videos I haven't seen and more will come :D It's very interesting to follow these amazing "journeys" and a lifestyle that for centuries and until about 100 years ago was a completely normal way of living. And now called a "stress-free" life despite all the long and hard workdays and with every task depending on the seasons and the weather, and what was/is basic needs in short and long sight. Prior, when this was a normal life, I don't think it was a choice for many, and this being a choice today, after living/witnessing a stress-filled, unhealthy and very unnatural life, can only make a huge difference and make this life a lot better today than for those back then who didn't choose it. It was a hard life for all, and I don't think was seen as an idyllic lifestyle for the majority of women... Though I more or less was taught this from watching "Emil fra Lønneberg" when I was a child. And women today choosing this life, it's kinda an "honor" to the women back then, as well as an overall honor to the work and craft from the men and women, as I know you use their experiences in so many ways in your daily life. Thank you for inviting us in, and giving us one more unique perspective of a of grid lifestyle in northern Sweden anno 2021. Alt det bedste fra jeres danske "granna" /Pia

They live longer than the people in the city.Living simple give inner peace. Most important is you enjoy the things that you do. Be safe and GOD BLESS them all. Special mention. I LOVE your doggies the way they behave.

Thank you for another brilliant video Kalle! Loved the drone shot in the beginning 😍🤩😍 What an amazing place this family lives in, and you explained their lifestyle so good!! Now I have to check out their channel!!🙏🏻 Jämtland, we’re practically neighbors then!! My cabin is just an hour away from the Jämtland border😅🌲🏡 Thank you for your hard work on making these videos! ❤️🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🐺🌲

The perfect place and lifestyle to raise a child. Absolutely breathtaking and so satisfying to watch this video.

Thank you for another beautiful video. I have been looking forward to this video since you first told us about your visit to Talasbuan. I have been following Mathias and Tova for several years. It was just so heartwarming to see your new friendship - very special. Thanks for sharing xxx
