These are hands down our favorite pieces of clothing! Crafted from 100% wool, knitted, woven, and sewn by hand right here in Sweden. Simply use code "Kalle" at checkout to get a 15% discount: bit.ly/3Zge3GO
I really love everything you are telling about, was convinced of buying a piece. But those clothing items are sooo pricey. Even with the discount code unfortunately. For a normal job this isn't durable in my opinion.
I can see why the sweatshirts & hoodies are pricier seeing as they're 100% wool. When I think of 100% wool, I don't think "soft", but they look super comfortable. I also like the long-sleeve shirt you're wearing in the beginning of the video too.. And I REALLY like the oven you two had put in!! It's great seeing you baking that bread in it.. Looking forward to the cookbook. 🍅🥔🥬🍞🍗
They are beautiful, but way beyond the price range of many living in the UK. It’s probably worth it, but many would not pay more than £70 I would suggest for a hoodie.
I love the idea of you doing videos together as a family! The cookbook cover is lovely! All three of you look so healthy and wholesome. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You are all an inspiration. 🐦🐦🐦
Christine, you have really blossomed, I think you have never been so beautiful, being a mother suits you so so good! And I'm so glad Kalle is the great dad and a really good husband ( partner) to you. And that baby- omg, the cutest ever!!!!
Beautiful video! Great ideas for your creative garden. You are such a lovely family…..I’m a 75 year old artist, and I have a hat just like yours Kalle, it’s my favorite hat! Your house is so cozy,and I would love to buy your cookbook❤❤❤
Your baby is so cute. I’m so glad that we finally get to see him now before you only getting to see him from the back or the side. Why hide him he’s adorable.
Hey guys i have seen some videos about the chicken taking care of the vegetation themselves. It depends how hardy the plants on the plot are but they usually flatten a lot out themselves. Maybe they can do some of the work for you? Maybe that helps... maybe it wont but it might be worth a try. :) good luck!
I love your ideas for the channel! As someone living in the US, I find my sanity is challenged, and my faith in the political system here has suffered immeasurably. I find a certain peace and balance in your channel, reminders that there is goodness in the world. Thank you for giving us all moments when we can balance the trials with love, honesty, and sanity. ❤
I was so hoping you guys would do the videos together as a family now! I love watching all of you. That was so funny Nala was crying at the house. I was just seeing the subscribers and I am surprised you haven't hit more than 300,000. Just wait! Your channel is the BEST! I can't wait for your cookbook to come out!
'Mossy Bottom' is the name of a you tube channel by Daniel, right now he's in Finland but started his homestead In the West of Ireland. He does some wonderful things regarding his animals and chickens. Check him out and go back to his earlier days in Ireland. He built the coop so it could move around as Kalle said. Its great because the chicken poop is great fertilizer. I always enjoy your videos. And I was so touched by your last one. Its wonderful to see your little lad and Christine so happy and healthy. It was such a trying time for all of you. Blessings to you all.
I can't get enough of that gorgeous baby! You are a beautiful couple, and a beautiful family and I just so love your channel. Every video just brings me such a feeling of peace and contentment. Thanks for that :-) Looking forward to the new video series.
Every time I watch your videos, I immediately feel calmer and happier. Seeing little August smiling at you both just melts your heart. What a wonderful environment to raise children. Your little piece of heaven! ❤💜❤️💜
It's hard to focus on your content, Kalle, when baby August is in the shot: he's such a bundle of sweetness and cuteness! Have you ever heard of homestead farming expert Joel Salatin who has written many fine books on how and where to raise chickens, plant a garden, have a dairy cow on ur own property? He uses chick-shaws that are used to move the chickens around as they live out doors. UA-camr Justin Rhodes follows Joel's ideas quite literally on his homestead in North Carolina. The cover for the cookbook is beautifully done! Congratulations! Looking forward to 'Our Journey Home" --perfect for your family. Much love
Hi Kalle and Christine - what a wonderful journey is unfolding for your family 😊 I cannot wait to see what is next with the garden, with the changing seasons, with little August growing so quickly... I have been a follower of your story for several years now all the way from Australia. I have German roots and Europe, or should I say the North, has been calling me for quite some time now. Ever since I stumbled across your channel when I was still in school, and now working remote, it brings me a sense of peace and hope that I may be capable to live a similar life. Of simple joys, slow days in deep connection to nature and authentic human connections and culturally rich experiences. Your birth story touched me deeply - seeing you share so vulnerably with us such a life-changing chapter is truly humbling and inspiring ❤ Each video has helped me through hard times and beautiful times, both an escape and a sense of belonging - I am sure your community will continue to grow beyond 300,000 followers very soon! I'd love to see how you prepare, film, and edit a video. I've recently bought a camera mainly for photography but would like to try filming as well. I'd love to learn how you go about the process Kalle. Sending love and warm hugs from Down Under ☺ Hannah
The best place for the chickens is alongside the vegetable patch. Before planting they can forage over the plot and clear the slugs and snails. Incidentally, they love fruit, blackberries, strawberries, and scraps from the kitchen. 😊
Wow, Kalle, it’s amazing to see how your journey continues to unfold. The cabin already has so much charm, and it’s inspiring to watch you bring even more life and love into it. Wishing you and your little family all the best! 😃
All the best to you Kalle & Kristina as a New Young Family 🥰 Now it will get the the first Winter ❄️ in Sweden for 3 lovely adults & 2 happy dogs ❤️ Nice sunny greetings from Spain 🙋♀️😀🇮🇨, Yvonne
I've been subscribed since your first cabin video. To show my appreciation and to contribute a little to your beautiful work. I wish many more will do the same! This video oozes such a harmonious and grounded energy it's a joy . I am looking very much forward to anything you two (three now 💐!) have in mind. Thank you so much for creating such a special and beautiful channel ⚘
I'm so excited 😀 for your new episodes called "Our Journey Home" ❤️ and to see your garden expansion, chickens and more!! Your new cookbook looks amazing too. So happy for your family. Love from the USA ❤️❤️❤️😍
August, is a beautiful addition to your ever growing family 💛 I have had chickens for years now and two things I have learned is not to put them to far from the house, they are not to noisy and in the heat of summer they never smell. As a suggestion I would put them in the middle of your old and new vegetable gardens so they can dig over the patch you are not eating from, rotating the beds. Using a chook tractor is a fabulous idea, to manage them. Good luck with researching !
Just discovered your channel & am liking it very much! I follow a channel called Living Traditions Homestead & they raise chickens and have developed some very clever ~hoop coops~ & a ~chicken moat~ where the chickens and ducks can free range around the moat. The coops are able to maintain thru the winter where they can have some pretty good snowstorms! Keep up the good work!😊...Always, Hope
Thank you so much for sharing this video on your channel. Wishing you and Kristina many happy years together as a young family with a wonderful baby boy. Take care Guys. 🇬🇧👍🏻🇸🇪
I totally agreed about chickens I raise Australorp ( they are a hardy bird) and I have Welsummers too! It’s a good time to do your reading up on breeds ! And do you want just layers or multi purpose bird ( layers/ meat ) And Christine some people what we call chicken tractors where you can move your birds around I am a firm believer in having a good rooster
So nice to see you again, even just for a short video! The bread looks amazing. I love wool, it's sooo comfy! But it does get stinky around the armpits, so I take it to the dry cleaners. Not sure the best way to clean wool honestly. Regarding the chickens... I don't think it's a good idea. I don't have chickens, but you guys live in the forest. There are wild animals like bears, linx elk, foxes, and they might go after the chickens. And then the animals will keep coming back again and again. Plus in the winter you'd need to heat the chicken coops. I would be REALLY CAREFUL before you bring any animals out there. PS. You guys need a baby seat for the kitchen lol.
Love your video's. And admire you for sharing your life, all of it. This helps so many people with opening up. For the garden, look at Justin Rhodes Homestead for the chickentracktor and chickshaw. In combination with permaculture. I have my chickens mobile during the summer and in the greenhouse in the winter with a electric net surrounding them. Works wonderfull.
We built a chicken coop and added a large hanging feeder and nipple waterer. We had to leave for a month and it was absolutely no problem! The food and water stayed clean and they had room under the coop to roam. Ill send you a photo.
During the months that you don't have a garden, you can keep your movable chicken house in the garden and utilize all their poop for wonderful fertilizer. You will need a fence if you have free range chickens. They will eat up your veggies. We had to put up a 5ft fence with 1 wire going around the top to make it 6ft tall, to keep out the deer and chickens. 😂😂😂 beautiful animals but they can destroy a garden. Growing your own food and raising your own animal's is wonderful. We love it.
@@KalleFlodinbeware wild animals who love to eat chicken! We have chicken too and we have to put a fence around them because even in The Netherlands there are foxes who eat chicken 🐓
Love the honesty of your channel and the way you want to better your lives. Love gardening too and can’t wait to see what you do next spring / summer. How is your A frame coming along or has this been put on the back burner for now ❤
Beautiful family! I look forward to your cookbook but I hope it is a real book and not an ebook. I just like the tactile feel of holding a book in my hands. That bread looks delicious. I bake different versions of rugbrod often. My last one I added some cooked sweetened sauerkraut and it was wow.
I was born in August, so I am in love with your son's name! He is so precious! Your videos bring me joy. Thank you! I love your new kitchen and all the wonderful countertops, beautiful oven etc. I hope your cookbook comes out soon, so we can see the recipe for the bread! Lovely clothing company too, I better start saving! Question, is it soft like merino inside, or do you need a layer under. I have sensitive skin, and they looks so hearty and nice. Thank you if you get a chance to answer!
Love the cover picture on your cookbook! Kalle. I had a few chickens and a mean rooster in my back yard and I literally had no grass left. They scratched and picked it to death so that might be a great way to get your property cleaned up some..lol..August is growing so fast. I love his name because I was born in the month of August!...maybe a goat or two would help clear some bushes and brush from your property also...I think a tv series will be awesome. Can't wait to see what you both will be filming together. Maybe contact Mathias and Tova on a portable chicken coupe. I watched him build one. ( talasbuon)? Probably not spelled correctly. You and your family look good and healthy. Will see you soon again! God Bless...
I'm so happy you like it, thank you! 🥰 haha but we have a LOT of forest they can clean up 😉 We didn't mention it in the video, but we're actually getting a few sheep next year! 🥰 Mathias and me are good friends, so I will definitely be asking him for help!
You should have the chicken run close to your ‘gårdstun’ i promise it will make sense in the winter. You will need to tend to them every day and the closer they are the less back and forth. And you will not hear them in the house if Thats what you are afraid of. We have chickens in coops on two sides of the house less than 5m from the house. Ideally i’d place them 15 m. From the house. No more than 25m walk from the door. That should be its ‘winter’ spot. If you make a portable/movable coop with integrated house you can move it around when it isn’t wintertime.
Ps we have two coops with about 20 chickens and some ducks in each Coop/run. Our chickens have access to a greenhouse tunnel in the wintertime. So they have a dry, somewhat warmer place to ‘play’. Your Coop could connect to a greenhouse. Say you use free trampolines from blocket to set up a tunnel structure and cover it with tunnel film/plastic it should be located near to your house for ease of access and use. Then park your mobile chicken Coop in conjunction with it for the wintertime.
I truly do love the videos that you post, very very motivating and gets me out during the winter months here in Canada. I do have one question though, are you releasing a cook book?
Have you ever thought of setting up a greenhouse to extend your growing season? I've also seen people move their chicken houses/coops around with ATVs, where the chicken coops are on skiffs or sled treads and have screens on the bottom, so the chicken poop drops into the soil. The chicken droppings enrich the soil and then then the farmer may move the chicken house in various places on a property every couple of months and rake the chicken droppings into the soil.
Your son is adorable! I guess you have pretty much figured out your Chicken Situation by now, but you might want to look into RuthAnn Zimmerman's Channel Homesteading with the Zimmermans! They built a very interesting chicken coop/tractor this summer! Her content focuses on feeding her family homegrown food, giving them clean cosmetics and remedies, and over all raising her children with chores that include them into this process age adepted and let them develop into responsible reflected adults appreciating this healthy rural lifestyle!
Hello dear Kalle, Christine, August & pets!! It’s so lovely watching you all and all the plans you are making for your family and home!! I know you have quite a lot going on & I find it exciting, but be sure to take care of yourselves also!! It’s so wonderful that August will grow up surrounded by the beauty of nature & learning what’s most important in life!! Thanks Kalle & Christine for sharing your journey with all of us!! May God bless you always and guide you in your walk through life!! Blessed to you and your beautiful family!!🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍
Parenthood has really rooted you both so beautifully. Many Blessings! Love from Colorado mountains ~ mother of 10. Life is beautiful! You will hit your goal. Looking forward to your cookbook! Wonder what shipping would look like on these beautiful woolen garments?
wow, 10 kids? 😮 Impressive! Regarding shipping, I think the site will calculate that for you 😊 And if you have any more questions about it, you can easily reach them on their instagram, they are super quick to reply, just say that you saw my video and have a questions about it 😊 instagram.com/a.new.sweden
There's a farm called Ridgedale Permaculture up in Västra Ämtervik. He does a lot of regenerative agriculture involving chickens and has many many videos on UA-cam to watch. This may give you some ideas. It has inspired me for sure!
Great cover picture ! Great idea for joining your videos in the future! And great idea with the chickens! We are also considering movable chicken coop for next year and maybe some goats cuz our baby loves goat milk very much:) All the best for your beautiful family!!
Love the plans for your garden, and Wow, that Zucchini. Very excited for the channels path. As for questions. Do you feel your son will adjust well to the dark season, or are you anticipating disrupted sleep schedule. I remember when ours were young, when we had time change in the spring, it took a few days to adjust.
As always, enjoyed the video. Chicken coops with wheels are very handy. Any date on when the cook book will be available and thanks for the 15% New Sweden discount.
It's always so nice to be with you. 🙂 I'm really looking forward to the cookery book. I found it very funny how Tuss was lying under the table when Andreas took the photos (7:33). 😂 That means when I see the cover of the book later, I know that there was a wonderful but tired husky under the table. 😉 Love to you all! ❤
And it's so nice of you to watch my videos 🥰 Haha yes that's actually a bit funny to think about it! AND that I'm also wearing my outdoor work pants since it's I'm only visibel from the waist up 😅
Hi! It is so nice to see you three! Si much richness, is another energy, expansive. I think that from the last video it is happening: the series coming home 🌟 About the chickens the family on Talasbuam have a home on wheels for the times there is no snow and another not movable for the times with snow. They say that when snow comes chickens dont like to go on the ground. They cover it with somethin like a net to protect them from other great birds or other animals. When not snow they move them throgh the ground with a movable fence so they can eat and Poop to Enrich the soil. Maybe you can ask them. Thank you both for existing, you are a gift to the world 🦋
Hi Kalle! I'm excited about the new direction of the channel. I've been here for awhile now, and I'll be sticking around ❤300k bound! Also, I can't wait to see your coop and chickens. I have 14 chickens and they're so much fun!
Kalle, I am so happy for your and your beautiful family! And also for your Journey Home ... collectively and individually. I have one request and it is made with the greatest respect, and from my heart. I think you are such a wonderful, but wonderful person, but a few times in your past videos, I have noticed that you have used your camera a few times in ways that didn't seem to be in full integrity with the person I believe you to be. For instance, I heard Cristine ask you several times in her vulnerable moment (during your absolutely amazing sled-dog adventure) not to film her, and yet you continued. Although she came through that moment with her usual resilience, it still made me cringe, because in that moment her wishes were overpowered, and it was captured against her will. I notice that you and Cristine have such a deep respect for your son and a desire for honoring his free choice, especially around filming. My encouragement for you is to hold extra care with when and how you use your camera, and to always honor your beautiful partner's free will over any potential content. Surely, it must be challenging as a videographer to put away your camera right when you believe you are capturing great content! But, each time you let go of potential content in favor of choosing your family's privacy and wishes, you are growing your integrity more into the man I see you becoming, the one I see you coming home to. For me, the best content is that which is made in integrity, respecting the essence and wishes of each person you interview -- respecting the wonderful person Cristine is, the enchanting child you have both brought into this world, and ultimately yourself. I hope it's okay to have written this. This is NOT meant as a criticism, but as an invitation to greater awareness. Don't worry, I know you are human, and last time I checked, we all are (certainly, I am!) Thank you for your wonderuful channel, and sending you only the best wishes from across the world, Lee
Hi Kalle and Christine!👋I loved this video and I can't wait to see all the new videos of y'all as a family in the cabin!👨👩👦August is so freakin' cute and he seems like a very happy and healthy baby boy!💗Also, I can't wait until your cookbook comes out and is available for purchase!🍽And I hope you reach your subscriber goal by the end of this year!👍Sending so much love and hugs from South, MS, USA! 🥰🤗🥰🤗
I would love one of those hoodies, but I don’t have a spare £250 - I was given a hoodie in the summer, but it was a cotton one and has a scouting logo on it - it will always remind me of a great scout camp.
I totally understand it, I usually save up for a while to afford clothing like this. Because I’d rather pay for something that’s built to last than buy cheaper items that need replacing often 😊
Yes, I have a Fjällräven winter coat that is over ten years old and I have had to repair it many times, but they cost over £500 now and I can’t afford to replace it - and I love that it has lots of pockets and all the mendings are little scars that remind me of some great adventures!
So interested to hear of all the plans you and your family have in moving forward in so many ways. I'm curious see how one might go about building a year-round chicken coop so your little feathered friends won't freeze in winter months. Love watching each of your projects as they go and grow. As an aside, I felt badly for Nala (?) as I didn't understand why she couldn't walk with the family either when she appeared to be asking, 'Why can't I walk with you guys'? lol. I hope your book has your bread recipie in it! A+ on the cover, Kalle.
Been following your channel for over a year. What you have done in the property in such a short time is amazing. The cabin looks great and cozy. I wish you all the greatest happiness and am sure you will reach your 300k subsscribers goal in no time especially with such a gorgeous baby ❤
beautiful video. i must say my grandma always says take a 50% wool 50% acrylic garment, as it will help not shrink in the washing machine. 100% wool i find hard, because if it gets dirty what do you do?
It‘s funny you‘re coming up with the plan to have chickens because I‘m actually working on a project in university about how we can make the egg industry (in Switzerland) more sustainable (and I also want to have chickens one day) Unfortunately I don‘t know too much yet but definetly make sure to buy chickens that would otherwhise get killed. Chickens can get up to 20 years old but already after one year farmers have to replace them because their egg production goes a bit down and the shells are less stable. These chickens would still lay eggs for another fifteen years tho
Awe the family is coming together.Do you have a baby carrier for your back.That way you can hike and take him along or just when your out and about.Looking forward to your video.s.No pressure lol.Do it when you can your not superman .Nice looking bread .Share your recipe when you can.
I´m in my late thirties and don´t have too many friends or family with a UA-cam account 🧓😌, but I´ll make sure to ask everyone to subscribe! Cannot wait for your series, Kalle and Christine and little August! xx
Stunning countryside and things have come along so well ,you all look alot more settled and relaxed . Your ideas for the chickens and gardens are just beautiful ❤
Have been watching you both for a long time but rarely comment. I love your both of your videos but I am really looking forward to seeing the new format with you all as a family. Can’t wait 😊
You must grow the broccoli variety that looks like aChristmas tree. It is chunky and delicious. Your husky will think she's doing a wonderful thing catching your chickens if you don't teach her right away not to touch the birds! You may know this already. Chickens will cut down on ticks. They are wonderful and you can't have a better egg! homegrown. Also many animals will eat your chickens if they're not very very secure

I also understand why they are pricey but for 400 euros for a hoodie you need to make substantial money. :)
They are beautiful, but way beyond the price range of many living in the UK. It’s probably worth it, but many would not pay more than £70 I would suggest for a hoodie.

I am a firm believer in having a good rooster
Love the idea of sharing a channel together as a family 🩶 also, I love the cover of your cook book kalle … how exciting to have come this far.
Cookbook pictures look so amazing Congratulations 🎉
So nice to see you again, even just for a short video! The bread looks amazing. I love wool, it's sooo comfy! But it does get stinky around the armpits, so I take it to the dry cleaners. Not sure the best way to clean wool honestly. Regarding the chickens... I don't think it's a good idea. I don't have chickens, but you guys live in the forest. There are wild animals like bears, linx elk, foxes, and they might go after the chickens. And then the animals will keep coming back again and again. Plus in the winter you'd need to heat the chicken coops. I would be REALLY CAREFUL before you bring any animals out there.
PS. You guys need a baby seat for the kitchen lol.
You both look well and so does that GORGEOUS little boy! SO THRILLED for you both!
Sooo beautiful to see all of you!! All my love to you!🥰💗✨✨🩷🩵😘🤗
Excited about your new series!!
Me too 😍
You are a beautiful family! Your little baby is so adorable and has the cutest smile.
I love the series idea that you’re working on. I love the wholesomeness of your family and look forward to what you have to share 🥰
Love your video's. And admire you for sharing your life, all of it. This helps so many people with opening up.
For the garden, look at Justin Rhodes Homestead for the chickentracktor and chickshaw. In combination with permaculture. I have my chickens mobile during the summer and in the greenhouse in the winter with a electric net surrounding them. Works wonderfull.
We built a chicken coop and added a large hanging feeder and nipple waterer. We had to leave for a month and it was absolutely no problem! The food and water stayed clean and they had room under the coop to roam. Ill send you a photo.
Jeg elsker at følge jeres rejse ♥️ Grattis till boken, Kalle. Snyggt cover. Og dejlig lille familie 🥰
Beautiful little boy, may God Bless him and you both. From North Carolina USA
During the months that you don't have a garden, you can keep your movable chicken house in the garden and utilize all their poop for wonderful fertilizer. You will need a fence if you have free range chickens. They will eat up your veggies. We had to put up a 5ft fence with 1 wire going around the top to make it 6ft tall, to keep out the deer and chickens. 😂😂😂 beautiful animals but they can destroy a garden. Growing your own food and raising your own animal's is wonderful. We love it.
That's not a bad idea! Haha yea they would love to eat the whole garden 😅
@@KalleFlodinbeware wild animals who love to eat chicken! We have chicken too and we have to put a fence around them because even in The Netherlands there are foxes who eat chicken 🐓
Love the honesty of your channel and the way you want to better your lives. Love gardening too and can’t wait to see what you do next spring / summer. How is your A frame coming along or has this been put on the back burner for now ❤
Happy you feel that way 🥰 No, we actually just started on the A-frame again! That will probably be my next video 😊
💙🩷💙🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊 such a beautiful video. You’re so blessed. Thanks so much for sharing. Xo xo xo
Beautiful family! I look forward to your cookbook but I hope it is a real book and not an ebook. I just like the tactile feel of holding a book in my hands. That bread looks delicious. I bake different versions of rugbrod often. My last one I added some cooked sweetened sauerkraut and it was wow.
I was born in August, so I am in love with your son's name! He is so precious! Your videos bring me joy. Thank you! I love your new kitchen and all the wonderful countertops, beautiful oven etc. I hope your cookbook comes out soon, so we can see the recipe for the bread! Lovely clothing company too, I better start saving! Question, is it soft like merino inside, or do you need a layer under. I have sensitive skin, and they looks so hearty and nice. Thank you if you get a chance to answer!
Love the cover picture on your cookbook! Kalle. I had a few chickens and a mean rooster in my back yard and I literally had no grass left. They scratched and picked it to death so that might be a great way to get your property cleaned up some..lol..August is growing so fast. I love his name because I was born in the month of August!...maybe a goat or two would help clear some bushes and brush from your property also...I think a tv series will be awesome. Can't wait to see what you both will be filming together. Maybe contact Mathias and Tova on a portable chicken coupe. I watched him build one. ( talasbuon)? Probably not spelled correctly. You and your family look good and healthy. Will see you soon again! God Bless...
I'm so happy you like it, thank you! 🥰 haha but we have a LOT of forest they can clean up 😉 We didn't mention it in the video, but we're actually getting a few sheep next year! 🥰 Mathias and me are good friends, so I will definitely be asking him for help!
@@KalleFlodin Awesome! .. 🐑🐑🐔🐔🐓
Always great to see your videos Kalle. Given life in the US today, Sweden is looking more appealing than ever.
You're more than welcome to come here Steve 😉❤️
You should have the chicken run close to your ‘gårdstun’ i promise it will make sense in the winter. You will need to tend to them every day and the closer they are the less back and forth. And you will not hear them in the house if Thats what you are afraid of. We have chickens in coops on two sides of the house less than 5m from the house. Ideally i’d place them 15 m. From the house. No more than 25m walk from the door.
That should be its ‘winter’ spot. If you make a portable/movable coop with integrated house you can move it around when it isn’t wintertime.
Ps we have two coops with about 20 chickens and some ducks in each Coop/run. Our chickens have access to a greenhouse tunnel in the wintertime. So they have a dry, somewhat warmer place to ‘play’. Your Coop could connect to a greenhouse. Say you use free trampolines from blocket to set up a tunnel structure and cover it with tunnel film/plastic it should be located near to your house for ease of access and use. Then park your mobile chicken Coop in conjunction with it for the wintertime.
I truly do love the videos that you post, very very motivating and gets me out during the winter months here in Canada. I do have one question though, are you releasing a cook book?
That's very nice of you to say, thank you ❤ Yes I am, wasn't that clear in the video? 😅🙈
@KalleFlodin Yes I was assuming you were, but wanted to verify it because my intuition is garbage lol.
Love your vlogs. You are such a lovely family. For us, living in towns, seeing this much nature is so healing.❤
Have you ever thought of setting up a greenhouse to extend your growing season? I've also seen people move their chicken houses/coops around with ATVs, where the chicken coops are on skiffs or sled treads and have screens on the bottom, so the chicken poop drops into the soil. The chicken droppings enrich the soil and then then the farmer may move the chicken house in various places on a property every couple of months and rake the chicken droppings into the soil.
Your son is adorable!
I guess you have pretty much figured out your Chicken Situation by now, but you might want to look into RuthAnn Zimmerman's Channel Homesteading with the Zimmermans! They built a very interesting chicken coop/tractor this summer! Her content focuses on feeding her family homegrown food, giving them clean cosmetics and remedies, and over all raising her children with chores that include them into this process age adepted and let them develop into responsible reflected adults appreciating this healthy rural lifestyle!
Hello dear Kalle, Christine, August & pets!! It’s so lovely watching you all and all the plans you are making for your family and home!! I know you have quite a lot going on & I find it exciting, but be sure to take care of yourselves also!! It’s so wonderful that August will grow up surrounded by the beauty of nature & learning what’s most important in life!! Thanks Kalle & Christine for sharing your journey with all of us!! May God bless you always and guide you in your walk through life!! Blessed to you and your beautiful family!!🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍
Parenthood has really rooted you both so beautifully. Many Blessings! Love from Colorado mountains ~ mother of 10. Life is beautiful! You will hit your goal. Looking forward to your cookbook! Wonder what shipping would look like on these beautiful woolen garments?
wow, 10 kids? 😮 Impressive!
Regarding shipping, I think the site will calculate that for you 😊 And if you have any more questions about it, you can easily reach them on their instagram, they are super quick to reply, just say that you saw my video and have a questions about it 😊 instagram.com/a.new.sweden
I could almost smell & taste that bread as it was coming out of the oven 😋
Looking forward to your cookbook . 👍🏻
No better smell than freshly baked bread 😍 Happy you're excited about the cook book! ❤
There's a farm called Ridgedale Permaculture up in Västra Ämtervik. He does a lot of regenerative agriculture involving chickens and has many many videos on UA-cam to watch. This may give you some ideas. It has inspired me for sure!
Check out the breed of Hedemora höns!! They are good with the swedish seasons!! Keep living the dream❤
We actually have friends that have that breed, will definitely check them out! 😊
Great cover picture ! Great idea for joining your videos in the future! And great idea with the chickens! We are also considering movable chicken coop for next year and maybe some goats cuz our baby loves goat milk very much:) All the best for your beautiful family!!
Love the plans for your garden, and Wow, that Zucchini. Very excited for the channels path. As for questions. Do you feel your son will adjust well to the dark season, or are you anticipating disrupted sleep schedule. I remember when ours were young, when we had time change in the spring, it took a few days to adjust.
Your baby is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your precious treasure with your UA-cam family. God bless you all! ❤🙏🏻❤️
You might need to cut some of those trees too though, because veggies need a lot of sun and the trees provide a lot of shade still
As always, enjoyed the video. Chicken coops with wheels are very handy. Any date on when the cook book will be available and thanks for the 15% New Sweden discount.
It's always so nice to be with you. 🙂
I'm really looking forward to the cookery book. I found it very funny how Tuss was lying under the table when Andreas took the photos (7:33). 😂 That means when I see the cover of the book later, I know that there was a wonderful but tired husky under the table. 😉 Love to you all! ❤
And it's so nice of you to watch my videos 🥰
Haha yes that's actually a bit funny to think about it! AND that I'm also wearing my outdoor work pants since it's I'm only visibel from the waist up 😅
Woohoo exiting idea 'Our journey home'. Already inspiring. Have fun in this new chapter 💚
cook book, off grid living wow! ...go for it 😃
❤❤❤
Hi! It is so nice to see you three! Si much richness, is another energy, expansive. I think that from the last video it is happening: the series coming home 🌟
About the chickens the family on Talasbuam have a home on wheels for the times there is no snow and another not movable for the times with snow. They say that when snow comes chickens dont like to go on the ground. They cover it with somethin like a net to protect them from other great birds or other animals. When not snow they move them throgh the ground with a movable fence so they can eat and Poop to Enrich the soil. Maybe you can ask them.
Thank you both for existing, you are a gift to the world 🦋
Hi Kalle! I'm excited about the new direction of the channel. I've been here for awhile now, and I'll be sticking around ❤300k bound! Also, I can't wait to see your coop and chickens. I have 14 chickens and they're so much fun!
Kalle, I am so happy for your and your beautiful family! And also for your Journey Home ... collectively and individually. I have one request and it is made with the greatest respect, and from my heart. I think you are such a wonderful, but wonderful person, but a few times in your past videos, I have noticed that you have used your camera a few times in ways that didn't seem to be in full integrity with the person I believe you to be. For instance, I heard Cristine ask you several times in her vulnerable moment (during your absolutely amazing sled-dog adventure) not to film her, and yet you continued. Although she came through that moment with her usual resilience, it still made me cringe, because in that moment her wishes were overpowered, and it was captured against her will. I notice that you and Cristine have such a deep respect for your son and a desire for honoring his free choice, especially around filming. My encouragement for you is to hold extra care with when and how you use your camera, and to always honor your beautiful partner's free will over any potential content. Surely, it must be challenging as a videographer to put away your camera right when you believe you are capturing great content! But, each time you let go of potential content in favor of choosing your family's privacy and wishes, you are growing your integrity more into the man I see you becoming, the one I see you coming home to. For me, the best content is that which is made in integrity, respecting the essence and wishes of each person you interview -- respecting the wonderful person Cristine is, the enchanting child you have both brought into this world, and ultimately yourself. I hope it's okay to have written this. This is NOT meant as a criticism, but as an invitation to greater awareness. Don't worry, I know you are human, and last time I checked, we all are (certainly, I am!) Thank you for your wonderuful channel, and sending you only the best wishes from across the world, Lee
Hi Kalle and Christine!👋I loved this video and I can't wait to see all the new videos of y'all as a family in the cabin!👨👩👦August is so freakin' cute and he seems like a very happy and healthy baby boy!💗Also, I can't wait until your cookbook comes out and is available for purchase!🍽And I hope you reach your subscriber goal by the end of this year!👍Sending so much love and hugs from South, MS, USA! 🥰🤗🥰🤗
I would love one of those hoodies, but I don’t have a spare £250 - I was given a hoodie in the summer, but it was a cotton one and has a scouting logo on it - it will always remind me of a great scout camp.
I totally understand it, I usually save up for a while to afford clothing like this. Because I’d rather pay for something that’s built to last than buy cheaper items that need replacing often 😊
Yes, I have a Fjällräven winter coat that is over ten years old and I have had to repair it many times, but they cost over £500 now and I can’t afford to replace it - and I love that it has lots of pockets and all the mendings are little scars that remind me of some great adventures!
So interested to hear of all the plans you and your family have in moving forward in so many ways. I'm curious see how one might go about building a year-round chicken coop so your little feathered friends won't freeze in winter months. Love watching each of your projects as they go and grow. As an aside, I felt badly for Nala (?) as I didn't understand why she couldn't walk with the family either when she appeared to be asking, 'Why can't I walk with you guys'? lol. I hope your book has your bread recipie in it! A+ on the cover, Kalle.
Love the video ideas and the wool clothes … I need a new hoodie 😮 love to you all ❤
Thanks Rob 🥰 Yes you're gonna need that hoodie when we go fishing next time 😉❤
Beautiful family 💛
How awesome!! Wishing you all the best! 😃😃😃🤍🌲🌲
Thanks dude ❤❤❤
Always excited to watch your video ❤
Thank you for watching ❤
@KalleFlodin ❤️🩹
Make a big net cage with wheels on then drag it around and move the chickens with it
Been following your channel for over a year. What you have done in the property in such a short time is amazing. The cabin looks great and cozy. I wish you all the greatest happiness and am sure you will reach your 300k subsscribers goal in no time especially with such a gorgeous baby ❤
LOVE your open fireplace!
thank you 🥰 It's one of my favorite spots in the cabin!
That is a nice area for a garden and good size
So cute 🥰 really growing 💗
I want you to have a really cute pottery butter dish 😊
The bread looked delicious. Will the receipe be in your cookbook? We love homemade bread
He’s such a little darling
I may be biased, but I do agree with you 😉❤
I see your eyes, Kalle, in August! 😍
Beautiful, peaceful video. So happy to see you all together at home. It's been a big journey. 😊
beautiful video. i must say my grandma always says take a 50% wool 50% acrylic garment, as it will help not shrink in the washing machine. 100% wool i find hard, because if it gets dirty what do you do?
Does your washing machine not have a wool or handwash option? I use a lot of wool and with that setting it does not shrink:)
@ yes a handwash I use it all the time for my normal clothes as well
It‘s funny you‘re coming up with the plan to have chickens because I‘m actually working on a project in university about how we can make the egg industry (in Switzerland) more sustainable (and I also want to have chickens one day) Unfortunately I don‘t know too much yet but definetly make sure to buy chickens that would otherwhise get killed. Chickens can get up to 20 years old but already after one year farmers have to replace them because their egg production goes a bit down and the shells are less stable. These chickens would still lay eggs for another fifteen years tho
Yes it is a crazy industry! Let's hope we can find something like that 😊
I was searching for new video from you guys😉
And you just found it 😉❤
Awe the family is coming together.Do you have a baby carrier for your back.That way you can hike and take him along or just when your out and about.Looking forward to your video.s.No pressure lol.Do it when you can your not superman .Nice looking bread .Share your recipe when you can.
Right now we're just carrying him on the front of us, but mostly for sleeping 😊 I'll try to share the recipe somehow!
I´m in my late thirties and don´t have too many friends or family with a UA-cam account 🧓😌, but I´ll make sure to ask everyone to subscribe! Cannot wait for your series, Kalle and Christine and little August! xx
That's sweet of you to say, thank you ❤❤❤
I love your posts thank you sure love the hoodies will check them out New Hampshire USA
Stunning countryside and things have come along so well ,you all look alot more settled and relaxed . Your ideas for the chickens and gardens are just beautiful ❤
Have been watching you both for a long time but rarely comment. I love your both of your videos but I am really looking forward to seeing the new format with you all as a family. Can’t wait 😊
I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, thank you 🥰❤️
Oh my goodness, he’s so handsome ❤️❤️
You must grow the broccoli variety that looks like aChristmas tree. It is chunky and delicious. Your husky will think she's doing a wonderful thing catching your chickens if you don't teach her right away not to touch the birds! You may know this already. Chickens will cut down on ticks. They are wonderful and you can't have a better egg! homegrown. Also many animals will eat your chickens if they're not very very secure
nice that you want hen's you will get good eggs , your boy is growing , thank you for sharing
If you let the chicken roam free, you have to build a fence around your vegetable garden! :) They love to dig up every seed.
Wow. You kids are do blessed where you live. Beautiful
❤❤❤
Your baby is adorable! He is raring to go!
Such a lovely family! Enjoy all your videos and look forward to your next project!🌞
Baby August...😍😍😍♥️
