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.

You guys should win an award for this, not just streamy but legit film doc award

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

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!!!

I watched these two hours withiout skipping...I even paused when went to the toilet...these were some absolutely beautful two hours...I´m totally relaxed right now...thank you very much...love you and have a good 2021...lovely greets from a 55yo german

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!!

This is exactly where I wanna be. I'm tired of people and everyone around me. I don't wanna die, I wanna live alone in peace.

This couple are the hardest working people I’ve ever seen. The video is extraordinary and is a testament to their life. Well done from Virginia, USA

Beautiful video thanks for sharing❤👍😎

I have never seen something like this on UKposts, and this is beyond my expectations! WONDERFUL, Wonderland.. 🌸🌸🌸

The smiling sheep at the beginning made me smile!

That was beautiful. Thank you.

Why is anybody disliking this video? It is a video about two people respecting and being one with nature. It's beautiful and inspiring. Guess they were expecting tiktok or something. This is some of the most valuable and educational content on UKposts and I'm proud there are people like this still in the world.

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.

my soul rests when I watch your video! with love from Russia ;)

Excellent cinematography!

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 the way life is meant to be lived.

спасибо очень молодцы круто очень нравится мечтаю дом в лесу люблю природу и животных мира любви счастья и здоровья очень успокоили своими овечками

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

These are stunning daily documentaries, I wouldn’t miss a moment of it…. I even showered with this on….once finished, I watched it all again…..during the video, my mother in law speaks and I had to put HER on pause…..

Hoy 18 de marzo 2021 llegó este hermoso video .Estamos viviendo una larga cuarentena y este video me alegro mi día. Me encanto todo muy linda pareja .Todo hermoso 👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍🇨🇱

Best Three hours on UKposts I've spent in a long time! :):)

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.

Thanks for the very nice Pictures!!

Here I am, sipping a glass of wine on the deck of the house I rent in Sweden for the summer, unlimited view over the water. I love this country soooooo much

Your child will be very fortunate to know such a beautiful life.

This is so much better to watch than Netflix or tv. Thank you and all the best in 2020 from Scotland

Thank you for sharing a year in the Swedish wilderness. Your efforts are appreciated. You have the skills to create a beautiful homestead. Tack sa mycket!

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

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!

I swear even the sheep was smiling in that first clip.

we all search in life to find what fullfills us, im 85yr old and still searching, I believe this family has found what it is all about Thank you for sharing . these wonderfull vids Theynare so relaxing and well done

Wonderful video I have I ever seen in my life on youtube ,❤️

No single plastic bucket. Yeshhh . . . Salute from Finland!

Beautiful property, beautiful animals, and living the beautiful life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

Love your videos. Thank you so much from Michigan USA

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.

Thank you for all the effort you guys put into the video. I wish you both every blessing God has to offer you.

A really enjoyable way to spend two hours and not a word spoken. Best thing I have watched in years.

Listening to the sheep is so satisfying

This is one video on UKposts I really enjoyed watching.

This has been wonderful to watch thank you for taking the time to post and share your beautiful country

Grest vid! Lots of satisfying visuals; no wearisome, static talk-to-camera; and (almost) no crappy muzak. Excellent!

I wish there was a UKposts video Oscars! This video would be my tip to win

Beautiful! Thank you from 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!

Thank you for this amazing cinematography and excellent editing .

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

I am so glad I found this video,,,,,Thank you,,,all my love to you

Oh guys, thank you! I'm in the south East UK and haven't been able to see my 2 daughters for 5 months (they're young adults... still :o(. Your film cheered me up and made me realise that only a small number of human beings have the skills you do, to live in nature, respect it, love it and its inhabitants... thank you for this gift of beauty! If I could go somewhere 'tranquille', this is exactly how I'd like to live and I say 'well done!' and thank you for all the loving you give daily to all the living creatures around you, it really touched me deep!

I've watched this over and over again! Award winning cinematography!

Multiplying bunnies in Spring, wow-and now a hand-hewn log building. Like I said, I’m not ready for you guys to leave for Hollywood. But this is world-class!

Jsu watched the cabin,, then found this amazing place .. your dogs are very well trained.. lovin it...

What a beautiful program I love nature you are so privileged and blessed by God

Beautiful scenery.

This is bliss. And here we are living paycheck to paycheck in concrete jungles. Earth is really heaven!

A hard working Paradise. But the reward of nature is worthy.

Reminds me of my grandfather! Thank you...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.

So beautiful ! Thank you.

Very therapeutic video just very pleasant to watch overall.

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER ON UKposts !!!!!!!!!!! ALL SHOULD ENJOY IT !!!!!!! THANKS FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER !!!!!!

Very nice, relaxing, I like the close-ups of trees animals, etc, thank you

Bravo!!!! This is a masterpiece!!!! Should be in the theater!! Held my attention every second!! Super cinematography!! I’m sending the link to several people I know who will love this! Ivar was born just 3 months later, yes? Would have been great to end with his birth but I know the video was planned to cover only a year. Your life is hard work but so beautiful!! I love your care and true love for all the creatures. With hardly any words, this video work of outstanding quality says so much!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

This has to be the most calming video that exists on UKposts. In Times like now-days , where big corporations,(even some farmers) that only care for profit, it is crucial for us to grow and raise our own food. Even though at the moment I can't,yet, live like you guys do, I am happy that someone in this world does live this way. Viele Grüße.

This film is breathtakingly well done. Not only have I enjoyed every minute of it, but watching it with my children sparks thought provoking conversation. We live far from this kind of nature, so this is a perfect way for them to see what life in the Bush is like. Please keep making these, they're priceless.

I love your kitty..a great helper.

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

Wow, beautiful cinematography..... You all sure work hard!

beautiful film, thank you

Lol to the sheep who had to be carried over the bridge. 😄 What a fabulous video. Peace and love, you guys.

Glad that your berry bushes could be saved - the sheep know they are yummy just like us.

This is gonna be the video I put on when I'm going to bed from now on, just beautiful

You are such a hard working couple!!! Nice to see you both pulling together for your new home! Such peace, really beautiful!

I am jalous you two live in harmony with nature. High five from Amsterdam

in firts thanks for this marvelous moment of peace, so nice kind of live, i don't miss any moment of this charming video, thanks for all, and best regards from FRANCE.

I think this is the most beautiful video I've seen on UKposts

Thank you so much Tova and Mathias (and all your beautiful animals) for sharing your lives with us. The spirit of calm you impart is so soothing and inspiring in this mad world. I have to share a little story. I introduced my daughter to your vlogs recently (she has already watched all of them) and she was so inspired by Mathias' beautiful spoon carving that she started carving her own spoon from a piece of reclaimed wood she found in an alley. It is coming along nicely. Thank you for inspiring her. Wishing you the best from Canada and hoping your pregnancy is going well. Peace and light.

Thank you for this beautiful film of your life!

Wow! I started watching videos from this channel and forgot about everything... 🌲🌲🌲👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤

One of the most tranquil, stunning, incredible videos EVER! I will watch this over & over& over again! The scenery is breathtaking! MORE PLEASE!

It was really nice to watch off grid living in the wilderness. That's made my day .

I fall asleep to the sounds of your labor. Thank you.

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.

I've watched thousands of videos on you tube with similar contents...but only your videos has connected to my soul...very raw and authentic...one that connects to my heart..I see no pretensions...just two genuine people...I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your channel..finally there's one that truly feeds my soul. Thank you for sharing your life and your animals Mathias and Tova.

Just found you on you tube! I enjoy soooo much watching this Video!!! Thank you!

I absolutely love watching your video’s . Y’all know how to do things most of us will never know. Like making butter. My grandmother use to churn it and make butter and I watched her but was to young to help. God bless your sweet precious family. Thanks for teaching us.

Nice video, thank you for sharing! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 👋

I love it how they DONT Speak, it's so calming and gets your brain in the process in her own way without someone to tell me stuff!

I just love how you look after your Animals and how clean there pens are everything runs in harmony

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 .

Watching these is like meditation ❤

it’s like a movie,I watched it all ,silence ,cozy ,❤️

This is the most beautiful craftsmanship that I think I've ever seen. This really is a beautiful documentary of your life.

thanks a lot and more for your wonderfull movie. For me , it was 2 hours of happiness. you live excatly as I would. your work, the seasons with splendid views, the sheep, the hens, the dogs, and.... the terrible cat. the snow, the wonderfull landscape, the silence..... thanks for no music. Bravo (from Belgium)

(Not my picture, I’m the wife) Discovered your channel by accident. Started somewhere in the middle. It transforms me into another world. Love so much that I started again at the beginning. 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.
