I am Italian.
I've spent my life amidst the hustle and bustle of big cities, yet I've never truly embraced their cold, impersonal rhythms. In the crucible of past hardships, I've unearthed the profound treasures that life offers: time, respect, and the beauty of simplicity.
I've discovered a deeper well of respect in the arms of nature and the soulful gaze of animals than I ever have in the confines of human interactions. And now, guided by the unwavering support of my beloved wife, I've made a decision that will change the course of my existence.
Life isn't a mere item on a daily checklist; it's an extraordinary journey unfolding in this very moment. It beckons us to seize it with both hands, to feel it deeply, to cherish it now and forevermore.

Que bien saber de uds y que estén bien, saludos desde Chile
How inventive with such an economy of space!! Well done.
Wish I could have been closer to help. Your courage will sustain you. Non avere paura.
Animal Lover ❤️💕❤️
Belle vidéo une très belle nature, j’espère que tu as pu dépanner la Suzuki et tout est ok pour la voiture
No reason to be sorry for ANYTHING, Alex. Stuff happens...and then you do the best that you can. I'm so glad you and your wife are alright, and for me, that's the most important thing. I love all your choices, so far. You and your wife are unstoppable.❤
Your English is just fine!
Safety first, although it’s beautiful there. Glad you and wife are ok.
gente che si crede di essere Shawn James solo per aver visto qualche video ma il massimo dell'avventura che ha provato è fare il picnic all'idroscalo
Che gentaccia, veramente...senti, a proposito di aperitivi, se mi vieni a dare una mano te ne offro uno come si deve in Sempione 😉
@@mywildlifeitalia datti all'ippica!
Hi Alex, don't worry about your english, it is more then fine! I know by experience how hard it is to work with tackles and pulleys! I once again admire your perseverance. Keep save!
Thanks! 💪
Feel sorry for you and your wife. Hope you can solve the problem. Good luck with that and best regards from sweden.
Thank you very much for the support, I reciprocate greetings from Italy to Sweden!
No apology needed Alex! We are glad you and your wife survived the car accident. It is a good idea to clear the brush from the sides of the roads so the sun can dry up the water. Can you get a small bulldozer in to help make the road safer and wider in the future? For now, fine the farmer who has the cows and maybe he can come with a tractor to help pull you out. We are sorry this happened to you.
Thank you very much for your words, unfortunately I realize that here in Italy the spirit of helping others is not always so widespread. The people who were supposed to call me back never answered the phone, so I'll have to start looking for someone all over again. Well, it's better to know right away who you can count on and who you can't. In the meantime I will try to get some more equipment to stabilize the off-road vehicle and try to get it up. 💪🙏😉
Try to talk to a person living in the road that you take when going to the cabin, even if its 10-15km away, someone will be willing to help for sure
I'll try, but so far they've been all curious about coming down to the property when I'm not there to snoop around the cabin rather than help. Unfortunately, the cameras tell truths that you don't want to see, but I'm sure that help will arrive sooner or later. Thanks for your comment and support.
@@mywildlifeitaliaI wouldn’t live in an area with neighbours like that…..why do you ?
Move the winch to the front and pull downhill. That may give you the ability to get the front wheels back up on the road. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice, I thought about it, but in front of the car, after a meter there is the stream and everything tilts even more... I'll see what I can do!💪
I believe in your choice of path . Not everyday can be a walk in the park. Glad your both safe.
I believe in your choice of path. Not every day can be a walk in the park. I'm glad you're both safe. Thank you for your comment, I really like the phrase you wrote "Not every day can be a walk in the park." That's right, it's true!🙏
A very tough situation!! I surely hope someone will show up to help!! Yes, I wondered when your arm will give out on you. I will keep you in my prayers(that's all I can do).
Thanks for your words, the arm....well, I had to stop two days after filming, to try to recover a little from the shoulder situation. Never give up anyway, I'll get through it 💪😅👋🚙
I wish I was there to help you, that was a great effort to recover your car, sorry it didn't quite work out. Thanks for posting a video even when your obviously struggling with this situation, best of luck to you, please let us know how you get on with it. Take care Alex, ❤
Thanks, I will definitely do it. I knew it wouldn't work completely but at least it limited the damage and made the car safe in case of further movements. I'm recovering my strength, my arm has suffered a lot, I'll go back to the attack and let you know. Thanks for the support! 🙏💪
Never worry about your English. it is not an easy language. Sorry for the situation. Take care of your self. It is always inspiring to see someone with guts and determinations. Sing the beautiful word HU it can do wonder for ones self. It is calming. May the Blessings Be.
Thanks for your support, you know, on my channel the motto is "never give up"....in any situation. One way or another I'll make it!
Glad y'all are ok, yeah you need a road to the cabin 🍻
Yep 😅 Then I'll need a beer to celebrate 😅
😥👋
💪
Hello Alex, pas de chance mais vous êtes pas blessé, tu devrais dégonfler les pneus de la suzuki pour avoir un meilleur grip sur ce sol quand tu fera marché arrière. C’est une bonne idée de couper ces petits arbres pour avoir une meilleure visibilité et un sol plus sec.Courage pour la suite , j.espere que tu aura de l'aide, n’abandonne pas ton rêve c’est des choses qui arrivent cet incident
Merci pour les conseils, je vais certainement le faire et ne vous inquiétez pas, je n'abandonnerai pas. J'y arriverai d'une manière ou d'une autre. Merci encore pour le conseil!
Coraggio Alex, tutto si risolve. Tieni a bada le piante più che puoi, soprattutto le conifere.
Assolutamente, in un modo o nell'altro si risolve!
hey Alex .... clever sliding bookcase door !! Do you have any neighbors ? Alan Boston
Thanks! The first neighbors are about half a mile away, curious people who come down to the cabin when they see me leaving in the car to snoop around, the cameras detect truths you don't want to see. Curiosity seems to be the second driving force of this planet, after money obviously. I love Boston, I was there in 2017 as a tourist, it's a city I appreciated, I wanted to tell you. 💪🙏
@@mywildlifeitalia Hi Alex .......You may want to put up signs that say you are on video surveillance .... yeah ... I have been in Boston since 1986 .... its a great city ....I have been very happy living here ....and it is quite easy to drive a half hour or so to many good environments for mtn biking or hiking Alan Boston
Hi Alan, I put up a lot of signs, but apparently it doesn't matter that much, Italy is a strange country lol... p.s. sooner or later I will return to Boston, I absolutely want my wife to visit it, but above all the green and wooded surroundings
All your work looks great...so creative. I like the shelves built into the sliding door. Are you going to fix up the larger part of the cabin...
Thanks Christine, I'm very pleased. The goal is to fix the smaller part first so that I can stay here on a permanent basis with my wife too and continue on to the large unit, the roof and everything else 💪
Aprovecharon bien los días de tormentas, despensa, baño, decorados, bañera y mucha pasta. 🤠
🙏🙏🙏🌊😅
Beauty Full❤
Alex, is there no way to drive closer to your cabin ? can you improve the last section of road .....or is it a driveway the needs to be worked on ? Alan Boston
Hi Alan, good question... in the sense that the road has given way a lot in the last 15 days, we also had a small mishap that we are trying to fix, I'll talk about it in the next video. The road needs to be redone, I could have intervened in some way but I will have to call a specialized team because the hydrogeological crisis in these areas has worsened a lot in recent months. It will be very expensive, bringing the right vehicles here, an excavator, will not be easy, but I think I am in contact with the right people. Fingers crossed 🤞💪🙏
@@mywildlifeitalia Alex, Much Thanks for the explanation on the road ...... Alan Boston
Bellaaaaa!!
Complimenti a tua moglie oltre ad essere una bellissima donna è anche una brava cuoca.
😉💪🙏
Love the hidden toilet and shelves. Before long, I think you may need a ride on lawn mower!
In my opinion even immediately lol 😅😓
Nice that your wife is with you! I think your garden looks very nice. We have had bad storms and tornadoes across most of the south and middle states here in the US!! Those tornadoes have just flattened so many communities here! Luck is with us here where I live so far. just really bad rain and trees down! Blessings.
And I pray that luck continues there with you. We heard about the tornadoes and what happened, the Italian news also talked about it. A prayer for all those affected!
Hello you two, always nice to see you together, that being said I was always told that's it's a sin to put oil in your water for pasta? Is it because there egg noodles? Please clarify
HI! Yes, because of the egg pasta. Egg pasta and fresh pasta when boiling tend to stick to the pan and, if long pasta, even between the pasta itself. For this, a drop of oil, otherwise if it is industrial pasta it is useless 🙂😉
Hopefully the rain will take a hike for awhile and you can enjoy the amazingly beautiful nature surrounding your cabin in sunshine. Thank you for the gift of your videos
Thanks for your thoughts, we had a little misadventure, but it seems that the sun is now shining again... I'll mention it in the next video
Tua moglie ha aumentato notevolmente il contenuto e la quelitá estetica del tuo video. Vieni il piú spesso possibile.
Non avevo dubbi, è una donna straordinaria e molto bella, e mi compensa nei lavori qui
sta cre***a ha messo più olio che acqua per cuocere le pappardelle e poi vogliamo parlare del mappazzone finale!?!?!
It's always a good thing when your beautiful wife accompanies you to the cabin, Alex. The food looked amazing, and I'm sure it tasted fabulous. The bathtub repurpose is gorgeous. Now you just need some nice sunny weather....it will come.❤
Yes, the good weather is missing. We had a mishap, you'll see in the next episode, due to the rain. We are fine, but the weather situation here is now unpredictable 😓😉
Hadn't seen one of your videos in a while. Just been busy. This video was just what I needed tonight on this rainy night here in the states. I was in France recently and relied on a fireplace for heat for the week. I was making a fire 3 times a day. I've always loved a good fire but I was certain it made me sick this time. Was curious what you thought of the smoke one inevitably breathes from a fireplaces. Some of the drone shots - in particular 15;30 into the video are to die for - really quite amazing. Glad to see yor wife is with you :) Loved all those bottles of tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Ciao.
Hello and thanks for coming back to watch my videos. I'm very sorry about the smoke from the fireplace, in reality there shouldn't be any. Usually if smoke remains it is because the fireplace does not "breathe" well, it does not have enough air entering the room. The drone adds emphasis, I looked for a window between the storms to take off and look from above. I send you greetings, see you soon!
Hi!!!
Great video! greetings from Deep East TEXAS.
Hi there! Over there everything is very large given the spaces, here in Italy everything is very small lol😅 Thanks for watching our video of our little cabin!
Very neat design and execution on the door. What a great addition to the cabin. Nice fire, good food, companionship. You are a lucky man. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
A thousand thanks! Even if the wood is a little rough and cut by hand rather than with electric tools, because we have its charm. It wasn't easy to decide to insert such an "innovative" element as a sliding bookcase as a door in an old stone cabin, but for this small unit of the house, functionality was important to us! Thanks for watching, see you in the next video... if you want to watch!💪
I need that detector. Going to check that out. Italian food is my favorite. I never thought of adding cherry tomatoes. Tell your wife thank you for that tip. It looks so cozy in there. You have done such a great job. God Bless.
Thank you so much Donna, happy that you liked the video and the cooking, as well as having recommended the detector to you. There are many ways to make a ragù, I think one for every Italian lol 😅, the secret is to balance the ingredients, not to exceed the quantities and let it simmer so that everything is well blended. If the meat or datterini or cherry tomatoes tend to remain too hard, leave to simmer for 3-4 hours, adding water so that the sauce does not burn on the bottom of the pan. Some also add finely chopped carrots just to flavor, finely chopped celery... I hope I can help you a little 🙏👋 Monika e Alex
O@@mywildlifeitalia
I am confused. On other channels I watch where they are restoring stone houses they get upset when someone has used concrete in the past they chisel it away and use lime mortar so the walls can breathe. So why exactly are you using concrete? It would be interesting to know the reason,.
Hi Carol, I'm responding to your comment first because you're right, a clarification is due. First of all, I would like to point out that I am not an expert in building compounds such as cement and mortar, but I have been recommended by those who obviously use them. Your confusion is probably the fault of my translation, in the sense that I say concrete at a "spoken" level to say that I am using mortar. So, the compound that I use and that was recommended to me is cement mortar with sand, which is very close to lime mortar. I use cement mortar for the first filling, then I will use lime mortar for finishing. Unfortunately, not being an expert, I can't remove all your doubts, but by asking expert people I noticed that everyone has their own opinion on the matter, so I stuck to what a person in the area here who renovates cabins advised me, hoping that I did it right. Thank you for expressing your doubt, the next time I discuss the topic of walls I will mention this exchange of opinions of ours. 🙏🙂
The tub looks awesome 👍
😮
Hi you 2,nice to see y'all again, have a great week 🍻
You too Tami!
E un altra cosa che arriva la moglie, da la vita del posto, brava. 😊 Pero cenere non aiutera niente! Meglio altra cosa per lumache. Ma sei sicuro che li in montagna ci sono lumache come sotto da noi?
Hi Alex, how wonderful to see you and your wife together enjoying time in the cabin! The food looks amazing as does your bathroom! Hope your cabin roof doesnt leak with that amount of rain... Hope the weather will get beter soon
Cooking is a nice touch, quite comfortable life you have there already.
Wow! I love what you are doing in the cabin, beautiful!! Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Ciao Alex, Ho appena visto uno dei più belli film della vita selvatica in Alpi e vorrei consigliarti lo. Cerca film "Il lupo delle nevi" qua. Rimanerci stupito dalla vita nelle Alpi.
Excelente!!
Merci!
