i'm currently using this video on loop as relaxation to combat full on depression and extreme anxiety. nothing else exists at this point except mother nature here and so i say thank you

Thank you for this lovely piece of filming. I have spent the last 30 years leading a similar life in the mountains of west Wales. Now at the age of 75 and my husband 79, we’ve had to make a big life change and move into the town. Your vlogs have given me a chance to relive my past life through yours. It is hard work looking after animals as well as all the other work that has to be done, but so satisfying being able to do all these things yourself. I hope you have the good fortune to lead a happy and fulfilling life just as we have done. Looking forward to your next film.

Besides me, is anybody else jealous? These folks are time travelers, going back to the purest of living. Bless you both and thank you for such a beautiful video. And yes, baby lambs are precious!!!

Absolutely true...these films are so beautiful, filled with many clever details ♡

My Grandmother Thornton was a Hanson of Swedish descent!! Joke on her: She could turn a piece of roadkill into a gourmet meal!! As we approach another Thanksgiving, her Turkey Breadstuffing comes to memory!! Hard to believe this but the core of it was that she took the end crusts of "Wonderbread," dried it and aged it in her bread pantry. Yes those cabinets disappeared after the 1940s but my Grandmother was a holdout!! Despite my own culinary skill with bread stuffing, never equaled her Thanksgiving Turkey stuffing!! Gone now except for the Memory!! Thanks Grandma!!

The smiling sheep at the beginning made me smile!

Excellent cinematography!

I love watching you with your animals, it must be hard to slaughter them, I can see the love you have for each other…those sheep kisses, so beautiful.

I live on 75 acres in the bush of northern Ontario Canada. We get lots of snow and cold like you and the land looks similar. I am 73 and after a lifetime of doing 3 men's work my body is starting to wear down. I breed chickens, a breed I created by blending many breeds including arcana so I get coloured eggs because that gene is dominant. My chickens are much like yours or the Icelandic chickens. They come with various comb types, some have feathered feet and 5 toes, and some have head crests. I now have electricity so keep a light in the coop which keeps them laying eggs superbly even at minus 30 all through winter. You could try a solar light. I have been a chicken fancier since a small child. I also breed pure white racing Homer Pigeons which I enjoy watching fly. I also breed German Shepherd x Border Collie pups to sell. My hips back and knees are so bad now I am giving up on gardening. I love the privacy, quiet, and pure air living in the bush. I also like to see moose, bear, lynx, ruffled grouse, foxes ,etc. I live 20 km from the nearest store or other services. I love to see a young couple so motivated like you and your teamwork is very impressive. You will not be short of money for long as your views will increase dramatically and you will make a lot of money from you tube. I used to own pig and cattle farms and had my own meat processing plant. I slaughtered 20 beef and 80 pigs per week and marketed the meat wholesale and retail. My favourite part of that was making sausage, smoked hams, bacon and salami.

This film made me very homesick. Not for Sweden, but for the lifestyle. In the 1990's, we built our own log cabin, 40' x 40'. We had a goal in that we wanted everything to be from 1912 or earlier. We had no electricity, just kerocene lamps and a large (original) kitchen cookstove with the bun warmer on top. We had an original woodstove and a large stone fireplace for heat. We also had chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, a brown jersey milk cow and over 40 barn cats. All of them were feral but they got used to us...especially when it was time to milk the goats. I miss hearing the chickens in the morning, splitting wood with a large Michigan double-bit axe. We lived there for years until I wrecked my back and sadly, it all came to an end.

This is one video on KZread I really enjoyed watching.

Thank you for letting us enjoy such beautiful moments of your life. Keep it up, the videos are heartwarming and truely restore my faith in humanity!

A master piece of simplicity. Thank goodness the sound you provide is nature itself not the typical Hollywood blockbuster type music on most American videos. The simpler the better. Wonderful. God bless.

All the curriculum anyone needs! The elite couldn't touch this!!! Beautiful living!!!

Those little bunny and baby lamb kisses, and the kitty kisses are the best. ❤️

The range of major and minor life competencies this couple brings to their projects is truly amazing. Clearly, both individuals could do anything they set their minds to, and do it well. Are all Swedes this frighteningly self-sufficient?

This, was a real pleasure to watch. May you both, have a long and happy life... God Bless.

Reminds me of my grandfather! Thank you...

Hello there. Henry Wilson here from Lancashire England. It's so lovely where you are. The lambs and chick's have got bigger. It's a nice life while you are young. I'm retired now. I used to work on the land. I was a dry stone Waller for 40 years. I loved every minute of it. I'm 66 now I still work part time helping a friend.

How exciting! From New York City, New York in the USA.

Your video work is really stunning and shows your love of the land around you. Even more, I appreciate your holistic approach to life on your farm: making your own butter...picking berries...hewing large logs...butchering and drying meat...picking flowers to dry...enjoying cats and dogs...fishing and using a tractor, inviting help when needed, etc. There is so much balance in what you are doing, including your desire to have a family--a balance hard to find in these kind of videos. Blessings to you both!

How did I miss this? Matthias and Tovah are blazing their own trail. This is without a doubt hard work that requires commitment but I know at the end of each it is more gratifying to the soul. Peaceful. Such a clean way of living.

these documentarys of yours sure bring youtube up to a whole new level ! the camera work is award winning to say the least . your subject matter contributes a lot but its your real gift for camera placement and composition and the editing that puts it together into a seamless flow like a river of beautiful sights and sounds . With an underlying joy and appreciation of nature and life we have an insight into the majesty of GOD and creation .Your journey through the seasons brings forth the value of what we have available on this earth if we open our minds and hearts .

I was raised in country with animals. Tending to them and the slaughter for food. So interesting to see you doing it. Summers were spent planting and tending the garden and picking fruit to freeze for winter. As a kid I thought boughten bread was a luxury as grandma made all our bread I lived in a three generation household. I was most fortunate to know my grandparents. I still live in the country but not on a farm. I am 77 tomorrow and look on your channel in awe as you work and struggle. Bless you and your baby coming. That will be one beautiful baby. Sharon.

Greetings from your neighbor in Denmark. I watched the first video yesterday and then af few more, and when I woke up early this morning I watched 2 more before I looked up your homepage and found out I could become a patron and support this hard and wonderful life of yours. Thank you so very much for doing this amazing job to keep the basic life, old handcrafts, and meaningful traditions alive and I'm honored you share all this with us. In Denmark we have a somehow similar family, not offgrid, but besides that, they are all into the simple and hardworking life using and keeping old farm - and building traditions alive; They have had their own TV program on DR (Danmarks Radio) for many years now called "Bonderøven" with Frank Ladegård his wife Terasa, 2 children, working horses and lofs of animals and they too started with a small handbuild house and then over many years they build a bigger house, My age, health and financial status do not allow me to start all over with an offgrid life, but I so admire those who can and do. Instead, I'm working on building a Tinyhouse (40 ft shippingcontainer) with as much secondhand materials as possible and to downsize my material needs and to live a more simple life with all my books, my dog and 4-5 cats, and hopefully a few chickens too and perhaps some rabbits ... All my best wishes to you, Tova and Mathias, and I really look forward following you in the future and last, but certainly not least, I too really really hope 2020 will be the year the next generation of Talasbuan will be secured
