Such a cozy video Kalle! 🥰 And great job with the roof!! 👏🏻🎉 I love the blue color you have on all the wooden details. It feels so unique compared to most cabins/houses here in Sweden. It looks so beautiful!

Don't forget that those ashes are a great source of potash for the garden!! Awesome to see you getting ready for winter.
Your videos always give me a sense of peace & contentment. The way life should be. I live in the USA. Thank you for your beautifully filmed and truly special content. I wish you a warm and cozy autumn and winter. 🍂
Ahh no internet no phone no cars no tech , my happiest memories in the 70’s when electric went out and we sat round fire and had candles and HAD to be with each other as a family
Speaking of movies this fall - has anyone seen the Disney movie Togo (2019) about a sled dog and his owner? I highly recommend it for a cozy evening🍁🍂🧡
Autumn/Fall is just the most beautiful season. Everything gets this warm golden tint, but the temperature is not too hot or too cold. Just perfect!
Congratulations on the almost finished roof!!!! Love the blue Northern Lights trim. It really looks good on the cabin🥰🥰😁
So nice to see you again Kalle! I always look forward to your videos. I think you have accomplished so much and I am so proud of you! You are right when it comes to this world being too dependent on the modern conveniences. I grew up with all that. But I prefer this old school lifestyle over it anyway. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love ❤️
Very nice and cozy video, as always. It actually gets me in the mood for autumn, my favourite season. It's not quite there yet in Germany but eventually it'll come. Crossing fingers that you get all your project done in time before winter falls.
Your new roof's blue trim looks really handsome with your cabin. I can't wait to see it when it's completed. The Autumn colors from your drone is lovely too, especially the colorful deciduous trees intermingled with the conifers. 🍁🍂🌲🌳

Yes, I LOVE the color blue that was chosen!
Hi Kalle, I am so happy you have made such great progress on the roof. The blue trim is gorgeous. You need to hold a finished roof celebration when you're done in a week.

By the way, I am also very guilty of underestimating how long projects will take. It's a constant challenge for me.
Our yearly chimney clean is much like that, covered in sud and dust 🥲😂 awesome video Kalle, winter is coming quick!!! ❤️
For me it's the opposite. Autumn and winter is when I get things done outside because it's too warm in summer. In autumn all the bugs disappear as well, which is perfect for work in the forest. Did you ever trace that spring? I believe you mentioned at some point that your pond was getting a bit low.

Totally agree! Hate being outside in the summer, Autumn is my favourite! Too hot, too many bugs, too many people...
Nice Guy, Nice Dogs, Nice House 👍 Nice Video
I deeply respect a man who is not afraid to get dirty and sweaty taking care of his homestead. Theodora must be a very special person to make you those gorgeous sweaters. I love Fall and the trees are just starting to change color in Portland, Maine, USA.
"Nail it" is the expression you were looking for!
Wow, so beautiful day in Sweden, thank you for this video and good mood.💙💛
So lovely that you got you'r roof ready soon. Beautiful autumn to you both. Regards from Finland countryside 🌲❤️🏠❤️🌲
Nala is adorable!! So funny she just wants to jump into your lap even though she's a BIG GIRL!
Yes, Autumn is filled with terrific weather and prep for winter. It's my favorite season. I hope you spread the ashes in your garden. Cheers-
Cozy video - the sweater Theodora made for you is beautiful!!!
So MYSIGT (cosy) friends!! 🥰
The sweater is beautiful, and alpaca will keep warm
I think the designer of that sweater should be mentioned (kind though it was of Theadora to make it!) - it's Linka Neumann, a Norwegian knitting designer who has popularised this pawprint pattern and has published several books of wonderful sweaters, predominantly made in Icelandic and Norwegian wool.

Kalle never said that I am the designer. I only knitted the sweaters. And I may wrote down in the letter I've sent, but he is not going to read the whole letter in a video. I was surprised att he showed it. I thought I will only see it when they are wearing them. 😊

@@teodoradezsonetenyi8275 don't fret!!! You still did the work of making the garments! You did a BEAUTIFUL job on the sweaters and it was a generous, lovely thing to do. What a lot of time and love you put into the gifts.

@@teodoradezsonetenyi8275 No, of course he didn't, he was thrilled with the beautiful gift! I only mentioned it because in the knitting world, too many designers do not get the recognition they deserve for their intellectual property and this is a great pattern - I'm currently knitting it, too! There was no criticism involved, either of you or Kalle, just a commentary; it's a hugely generous gift to make someone a sweater, as I know only too well.
The sweaters are beautiful.very nice gift 🎁.
Absolutely Beautiful !!!! Sweater ,very Sweet of the person who made it,I enjoyed your video very much ,Thanks for that, Stay well
Theodora, you're awesome!
Hey Kalle. I can totally relate to that feeling of being swamped with tasks and responsibilities, but it’s all about enjoying the present don’t forget! It's a reminder we all need from time to time. And that jumper you received as a gift? It was awesome! Looking forward to more inspiring content from you. Keep up the fantastic work! Tina
They call the stuff you shine up the stove with "blacking". In Canada, we call beanies "toques".
Fantastic footage Kalle, as always. What an incredibly generous and beautiful handcrafted gift to have received, you are both truly blessed. ❤ I'm looking forward now to cosy winter day's and winter footage from you. 😊
Wow, what a difference with the stove! Looks amazing
The sweater s are amazing and I hope you can get what you need done before winter is truly there! Be safe!
I have the same cooker in my cabin and know nothing about it so this video for me is pure gold because ive just started using it👍😉👍👍👍👍👍tusan tack

Perfect! Good luck using it, you're gonna love it! 😍
Spider in the ear-protection... thats why i dont use woodlogging-helmet. Can´t double-slapp the muffs together to eliminate the risk 😀 Great video man, looking forward to the next! 👍
Love your mellowness…your channel feel soooo genuine.
Woah Theodora!! I want one too!!! Incredible work!
My grandparents always had wood stoves. And I had a little wood stove in my last place. I forgot aboutyhe black creaming to protect from rusting out.
Wonderful video! The roof is looking good as is the whole cabin, you should be very proud. I love that a power cut doesn’t stop you from living, that is so important more now than ever. Love doggie on your lap, so sweet and what a gift from your viewer, oh wow that is very special and so much talent. ❤
Hej from Jamtland. Yes, winter is coming and I think it will be a harsh one this year. Last year our local temps got down to minus thirty more than once...so glad to have the wood fireplace in the house! We are still sawing and stacking wood for winter, and putting the garden to bed.
This is the first video of yours I have seen…and I really love your wood stoves, your hanging chair, love your dog and that you can get water from the stream (river?sprung?). Fall & winter are the perfect “cozy” months. I hope you guys have the coziest. Thank you for sharing your adventures.😊
Du är helt underbar om jag ska vara helt ärlig. Du visar att det fortfarande går att leva mitt ute i skogen och vara mestadels oberoende av moderna omvärlden och samt vara självförsörjande till en viss nivå. Det märks att du njuter av varenda sekund när du gör dom här videorna för oss. All lycka till dig 🙏
We just had our first 0°C night two weeks ago and did these exact same chores! We miss waking up and starting a fire as well, the cold weather offers a yearly recharge for us.
Your property looks good Kalle. You have done a great job and hope you enjoy it for many years. The alpaca sweater is beautiful!
❤imporant? Railing on the wall down the stairs. 👍So much good work you have done.
Very interesting new things I saw! Thank you for cozy 17 minutes 🔥🌲🌳🍁🍂

And our "cozy" is his lifestyle! He does what needs to be done when it should be done, there's a lot of hard work, but it must be incredibly satisfying.
The fascia is beautiful!
You should buy a JACKERY power unit so you can charge your small devices or mains powered items in your cabin ....just in case ...mine comes with solar panels so you can b totally off grid incase power goes off !.. nice videos by the way !👍👋
Hi Kalle, just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos. The scenery, the way you do things, the way your house looks, even the way you talk and keep those little 'slip ups' in the videos! 👍🏼
That was a beautifully made sweater that you received.
You're _so_ wonderful Kalle, and brings us so much peace, knowledge and faith in humanity. Forever grateful i came across your channel 🙏☀
Good work Kalle, you have to love the dichotomy of stove cleaning, hating the cleaning and loving the end result. Cleaning the stove is always a last minute job for me , but it always reminds us of the wonder of winter to come. Keep well.
You were admirably calm about the spider in your ear! I would have launched into space!😂
I love how the roof comes together. That blue looks so good with the dark brown siding ! 💕🌷
Great video Kalle. I'd be interested on a video where you talk about how you make sure you regenerate and maintain the land when you're also dependent on the resources from it, like firewood.
Hi Kalle Always enjoy watching your videos! God bless!
I love the roof! So good to see you again. We always look forward to your videos, and the continuation of your journey. 🌲🍁
Thank you for a great video. Hope you all are doing well
Your videos always rise up my frequency and make me so excited,thanks so much,that is great as always🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀
Love your videos. I especially love it when you show your cabin projects as you work through them and finish them. Looking forward to the roof reveal! Best wishes as you get ready to hibernate for the winter in front of your fire!!
Love watching your videos! And a beautiful way to start with a cozy fire & your baby in your lap❤. Blessings
Fall is my favourite time of the year, even though it is the busiest time of year here in the bush in Canada. There is so much to do to get ready for winter and i love it all
All nice things come to those who are patient. Good luck with finishing the roof and enjoy the peace 😘😘
You look happier. That’s good to see
Thank you for sharing your life...
Thank youuu! ❤ I missed your videos, can't wait to see more!
Hello Kalle, Thank You for this video.Sweden at this time of the year looks beautiful in this surroundings that I could see in the video. Good luck in finishing up your roof, I hope it goes well and comes out to your expectation. The sweater that the viewer sent you was beautiful, it took her a long time to knit both of those for you and Christina. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures in your videos.
October is my favorite month. You are right; you can finally slow down and take a deep breath.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I really love them.
Nice episode. Relaxing to watch in the evening!
My husband and I love your guys videos
👍 Just one suggestion - it's very important to use special pants and boots for working with the chain saw. They can stop the chain if it goes wrong! Lycka till!
Awesome video as always !
Loved every moment of this video! I make KZread videos in a similar spirit as you though I’m in an adventure chapter in my life at the moment - today is actually one year of living and traveling full time on the road with my two cats - but I started living in the countryside and perhaps it’s the arrival of autumn but im finding myself missing doing projects like you’re doing here on the property. So thank you for letting me live vicariously through you. Congrats on the roof! Sending many blessings from my little corner of the world to yours 🍂
what beautiful pullovers !!
The saying I would use for completing the roof is "stick a fork in it". I think the origin of this is putting a fork in a piece of meat that is cooking to see if it is done. I love the blue trim.
Been watching your videos whole day now. Been thinking about starting saving for a own place In Finland. With my current job i could propably get a nice place after two years. Thanks for these videos!
Never been this early to a video! Love the content as always!😊
i admire your hammock skills
It took me some time untill I can see thia video, but thank you Kalle, for another cozy and warm video. 😊😊😊 Much enjoyed!!!
Your videos are so relaxing. And such a dream of mine to live this way. I just found you and subscribed!
Love your stoves. ❤
Ah I have just a summer cabin at the moment, I`m back in city already- Tallinn, but oh do I miss slow living in cabin. It is good to see your videos, it reminds me what I`m working for!
I love Alpaca wool!
YOU ARE FANTASTIC GREAT JOB GOD BLESS YOU
those sweaters are beautiful
I am surprised with Christina around that she does not put pressure on you to take care of these maintenance issues.😄👍
Beautiful sweater👍💕👍
Hi Kalle. I've followed your channel for a while now and really enjoyed it. I love the lifestyle you share with one glaring exception.. that wood-fired cook stove. I'm glad you enjoy it.. but for me.... I couldn't do it.. especially in the summer time! It seems like such a pain! I always look forward to your next video 🙂
I would be very interested in a video introducing your tools, like axes ect...
I love the color blue and your dogs,👏🍁👍🥰
You are very pretty with the black nose!! I too love to make a fire on the morning. And i love to see your stove details
Beautiful
Nice😊
The spider-in-ear happened to me too, twelve years ago when I lived in a tiny cabin over the winter, so I knew before you said it. 😅 I thought it was my own hair, messed with it for a minute or two, then took my headset off and a big-ass spider ran out. I FLEW over to my bed and didn't move for five minutes. 😨 We were both equally scared it seems, me and the spider.
❤❤❤❤😊Thanks for sharing 😊
Outstanding vlog 👍👍👍👍
About to experience my first Winter in the North of Sweden, moved up near Boden :)
Wow
Great video❤️
Nice To see you and your cabine again . Is the muzac really necesary .
