A short message to the subscribers of Martijn Doolaard

- Hello everyone from Martijn's side of the mountain. Long time viewers of his will know: I'm Johannes, his neighbor to the south. As @MartijnDoolaard is going away on his winter break I would like to invite you to the other side - at least for a few weeks. For I'm not starting a new channel. I'm only releasing a limited run of 12 episodes to fulfill the promise I made in 2021 when I had seen the surprising positive reaction of @kirstendirksen's audience to my life. A second reason was added when in later similar interviews some viewers were disappointed that the shorter format necessarily truncated conversations and thoughts.
2023 was a good year for filming these episodes. Because this past year I actually had had a chance to be here at least some time every month - perfect to tell the story of One Year in the Life of a Part Time Hermit.
Thanks everyone. With the 12 videos now online, I disabled the purchase of the videos. You can still get the ebook here: www.buymeacoffee.com/donjohannes/extras or if you just fancy buying me a beer you can do so here: www.buymeacoffee.com/donjohannes
As a fellow bearded man, and fellow hiker (from the Netherlands to Italy), I would also be interested in purchasing a hardcover of your book. Any chance that will be possible in the future?
Hello from Texas Johannes, Interested in watching Martijn’s neighbors daily life. What would the monks from 200 years ago think or imagine about our world of videos and Technology??? For me It is a interesting thing to ponder! Thanks in advance for sharing on UA-cam! Have a blessed Christmas.
Ah, 'Into Great Silence'! I watched that film during my most intense Buddhism period and loved that sitting in the theatre was like going on a meditation retreat. I've thought of it often while bingeing Martijn's channel to keep my mind calm while my sister's life comes rockily to its end.
I watched Kirsten’s documentary on you! I loved it, and was SO impressed by your kindness. And now, Martijn Doolyard has given me your channel. ❤️
Exactly twenty years ago we celebrated Holy Eve church mass in the Friedenskapelle Malbun, you were our pastor. I still have happy memories of that.
Everyone deserves a friend like Johannes. 🙏
Merry Xmas to all. 🎄
I will not be bored by your ramblings . I find your way of life so calming and peaceful. We need more of you and Martijn. It’s a great thing to detach from the fast life and slow down to enjoy the beauty that God has created ❤️🙏🏽
Absolutely 🙏🏻🌟
hear hear 😁🎉🎉
AMEN 💯 🙏🕊🥰❣️
Amen!!!
Thank you❤
Hello Johanes. blessings and God's peace from Tennessee. I am a long time member of Martijn's community and I have enjoyed his visits with you. I look forward to watching-listening to your program and wisdom. Merry Christmas, God bless.
Two interesting men on that mountain. Merry Christmas to both of you.
Loved the humor in the beginning! Looking forward to hearing your story and thoughts you share. It has been a joy to see your friendship with your neighbor, Martijn. Thank you for allowing us to learn about your heart for faith, worship, and your love for land and people.
I always enjoy your appearances on Martijns channel. Looking forward to your videos ! 🙏
Hello Johannes - looking forward to seeing and hearing about your life.
Have a very merry Christmas, Johannes. Glad that I found you through Martijns´s channel.
Ah, a man that speaks to the soul! Looking forward to your videos. The ramblings of this priest is worth the walk to the end.
Big fan of @Martijndoolaard, big fan of you. Johannes, you came through for a neighbor in need many times on his show. I'm inspired your lifestyle, and perseverance. Thanks for sharing glimpses of your life. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉. Hope to see more episodes in the future.
6:33 thank you so much for this wonderful idea for the next coming 12 weeks. Looking forward to it, Johannes! And Merry Christmas and good wishes for a prosperous 2024 from rainy Holland!
Another new follower from Australia. I am looking forward to watching your videos, Johannes. I am one of your faith and send Gods blessings to you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a beautiful news to have you bringing value on the platform with such a series. Welcome, and merry Christmas Johannes!
Greatly looking forward to watching your vlogs.
I hope this project very successful 👍
Hello Johannes, Just came over from Martijn's channel, I didn't realise that you had a channel on the Tube. I will be watching all your videos from now on. I get such a feeling of peace and serenity from you, I'm sure your videos will do the same for those of us following. Merry Christmas and a joyous 2024 from Scotland. 🏴🎄🍻👍
Definitely watch your peaceful mind navigate your universe. Having Two wonderful people next to each other alone on a mountain to watch. You have your own unique perspective I will definitely check it out !
Warm greetings from Poland ! I will follow this channel's activities. Merry Christmas!!!!!
LOVE this idea............. am sooo looking forward to seeing your videos.............. Merry Christmas and here is hoping for a wonderful New Year!!
Looking forward to adding the bearded man to my "watch and drink coffee wake-up routine." Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr. 🥳🎄🥳
Very much looking forward to this series. 😃
Merry Christmas Johannes! Thanks for creating this content, not only allowing insight in your life but also to provide us with food for thought.
Johanna’s Blessing & Peace from Florida. I am so happy to see this come up this morning. May our Lord Bless you and keep you. 🙏❤️✌️
Looking forward to follow you. Love the great support you have given to Martijin 🙏
Fantastic, glad to be a new subscriber. most people who are at peace with God often seem interesting because people don't understand the peace you get thru salvation.
Thankyou Johannes; I had no idea that you had a channel and look forward to your next vlogs. Happy Christmas 🍸
I've followed Kirsten and Martijn since the earliest videos on their channels, and subscribed to follow your journey as well - - I look forward to learning from your concluding thoughts at the end of each video (aka pinnacle of wisdom), but I also look forward to watching a bearded man do stuff.
Greetings from Costa Rica. We will love to follow your channel and enjoy its content. Merry Christmas and Peace to the world❤
Frohe Weihnachten, Father Johannes! I've enjoyed your appearances in Kirsten's video (which led me to Martijn) as well as your interactions with Martijn. Your contemplative nature, mixed with a healthy dose of humility and humor has intrigued me and I've often thought that a conversation with you combined with a long walk would be an interesting sort of exercise. When I learned that you were retracing a journey made by monks, I immediately thought of my own pipe dream of walking The Camino, or at least part of it. I'm looking forward to viewing your series, including the "boring talking parts." Onward, John from West Virginia
Oh! How I loved to here from you D. Johannes! During all the episodes following Martijn adventures, I always thought about you, the generous neighbour that was always there to help a friend! Welcome!! Definetely I will watch all your episodes in a maraton :)
Merry Xmas to you Johannes from Downunder ❤
I have been watching Martijn Doolaard's channel for some time. He had lunch on his latest episode, with you. Am looking forward to checking out your channel and getting caught up.
the view from your home is breathtaking!!!! I am excited to see what you are filming
Hi Johannes. Thank you for sharing this. Happy Holidays.🎄
You made my Christmas Eve, this Christmas in general, thank you!!! That’s what a priest should be, in my humble opinion 😅Subscribed, laughing, getting the book, and sharing with others!!! God bless, and merry Christmas!🎄❤️
Me gusto tu vídeo aunque no comprendo bien el idioma. Ojalá le pongas subtítulos. Vine por Martjin.
Looking forward to be watching your videos Johannas. I was sent to you by your neighbour; seems like a long journey traveled, because I live downunder in Melbourne Australia, that’s quite a big circuit to be joining you.
Seasons greetings, looking forward to be watching your videos and journeys on your platform. Regards Ross ✌️😃🦋
Felicitations from Mercer Island Washington Johannes. Like so many others here I’ve followed Martijn’s mountain journey since the beginning. I’m looking forward to viewing all of your story to the conclusion. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and wonderful 2024.
I've enjoyed the interactions between you and Martijn over the last couple of years. Had no idea that you had your own chanel, so looking forward to delving into your archives.
Intrigued by the very different approaches you both take to your properties but love the outcomes of both. Blessings.
Hi Johannes, i remember Kirstens video at your home and the start of Martijns build, you both are an inspiration, kudos
Can you link to her video? Both of these men are inspirations.
Hello Johanna’s I really enjoy watching this kinda content, I find it meditative and spiritual 🙏🏻🌟 thanking for sharing your experiences and the type of life you lead.. happy Christmas and blessings for 2024
Dear Johannes, that was such a surprise! I felt personally addressed by this video. And I laughed out loud seeing you do hide and seek on Martijn’s yard 😂😂😂😂 you are so funny. While Martijn is on his hiatus I ‘ll love to dwell in your panoramas! And love to listen to your musings. Much appreciation here for you. Have a very blessed Christmas Eve ❤❤❤🎄✝️
Ein frohes Weihnachtfest, lieber Johannes 🎄🕯️⭐️
Hi, Fr. Johannes! It was you who originally sent me to Martijn, and now he returns the favor! I had tried to access your pilgrimage movie but it was in German...I loved your visits over on the north side to help out--human verbal reference to the God who makes it all so beautiful and so possible is all that is lacking over there, and your presence brings and fulfills. I look forward to your no doubt beautiful 12 stories including meditations. Thank you, God be with you in our Newborn Lord. love from California.
I've always noticed that the longest and loudest laughter at Martijn's homestead usually occurs when you show up :0. External happiness usually flows from an internal source. Reciprocally I look forwards to Martijn's visits to your beautiful and steep homestead (love the chapel as well). Will definitely be watching these 12 episodes.
I didn't know that your houses/properties were so close to each other.
Frohe Weihnachten 😊 … und die besten Wünsche für das neue Jahr!
Jolly good Johannes, very exciting your excellent English statement. By occasion I saw the video clip of Kirsten Dirksen. Since then I am remembering you. You are a very good neighbor of Martjin Doolaard, you helped him in many critical times. Merry Christmas to you too, and a wonderful new year 2024 ❤! God bless.
Fantastic Johannes. I'm excited to see some episodes from you! I've enjoyed your humble storytelling and spirit over yoru past docs and videos. Thanks for sharing with us! Merry Christmas.
I am SOOOOO HAPPY that you have decided to make 12 videos! (I am hoping for more, even if it is 12 videos every year! You are an incredible blessing!!!
God Blesses you Don Johannes. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas - and a very good new year!
Just listening to your voice already makes the sub worthwhile. Looking forward to your series, Johannes. Hope you have a blessed Christmas. Good wishes from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Merry Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year 🎉
Blessed Christmas Johannes, from faraway sunny Singapore
Very very nice……I enjoy this. Thank you….
We care about the “ramblings of an old priest” ❤
Wonderful..what joy awaits...😊
Can't wait to see more! I share with all my Facebook friends, who will love your videos.
SO happy to find you here. I enjoy every episode that you have appeared on Martijn's videos. I look forward to watching the ones you have produced on your channel
Thank you for supporting Ukraine. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Congratulations to Martin too.
Happy to see you here Igor! Слава Україні!
@@uartist Героям слава!
Saludos desde Tenerife , ISLAS CANARIAS, Martijn me envio enlace, y me suscribo .... Feliz Navidad del Señor...
Blessed Christmas Fr Johannes. I'm thrilled that you will be bringing this content to us. I first "met" you through Kirsten's video. I've shared your story with many friends and have been enjoying Martijn 's endeavor from the start. The world is crying for peace and thoughtful reflection during these difficult times. God Bless this project and I hope it touches many others. 🙏
Well done. For sure thousands will follow your episodes!
Oh, this is so wonderful, Johannes, what a delight. I so look forward to any and all videos that your produce. Though I am not of any faith, I am deeply spiritual and have, in the past, spent time with the Trappist Monks at Out Lady of Guadalupe at Carlton, Oregon, USA (also visited the "home" of Thomas Merton ("The Seven Story Mountain") at Trappist, Kentucky, USA). I was humbled to help serve food in the guest dining hall and invited to spend time with the brothers in their cloistered areas. A cherished memory, indeed. So, blessings, sir, and may peace be with you this day, and always. From Yakima, Washington State, USA.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE VIDEOS AND WE ALWAYS ENJOY HEARING FROM YOU JOHANNES MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
❤❤❤
Long ago I found your channel but it was in German so couldn't watch but I am excited watch your series. ❤❤❤
Hello from Florida! I had no idea you had a channel on youtube etc. I always thought you were such a great neighbour of Martijn's, now I have been blessed with another wonderful channel. Hallelu-YAH. ❤
The first 34 seconds 😄👍
Yes!!! Have been looking forward to seeing more of your side of the mountain :D
Happy holidays from New York City to you Martin. And your family It’s been a wonderful year following you every Sunday.
what a beautiful way of life. How i wish in my old age i can at least have a small cabin in the farm.
Congratulations on all the rewards, Johannes! It is proof that Germanische volk can have a sense of humor! Sorry, Johannes, that I have attracted some barnacles. I put my life on the line in Berlin in November 1989, when we rescued a girl who fell over into East Berlin at Brandenburger Tor.
He probably has humor because he is austrian and not german ;)
Has it occurred to you that your „sense of humor“ falls short?
@@doctorgadgetix4887 germanisch does stand for Germany, but for German speaking. And that includes therefore Germans, Austrians and Swiss
where did you get the uneducated idea, that das Germanische Volk does not have a sense of humor. Quite the opposite is the truth! And of course germanish does not stand for German only...
Great to finally hear some more from Martins good friend :)
Merry Christmas Father! Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you Johannes. A calming, steady presence in troubled times. I look forward to watching your 12 episodes. From Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you Johannes! This was enlightening and love to hear about your life! I hope you are taking care of Marteijn’s chickens for him!
I'm very much looking forward to your series. I have enjoyed the brief visits we had with you through Martijn's adventures - you've certainly proved to be a good neighbor to him/for him. Good luck with your series and Merry Christmas.
Hello from Texas USA. May you be blessed in 2024 to show us more of your chosen lifestyle and show how we might bring more serenity into our hectic lives.
Hey Johannes, lovely to have another opportunity to view the beautiful Italian Alps, and someone building a homestead. All of us can use a little inspiration in these dark times. Thank you for taking on this project and I look forward to your videos. Happy holidays.! ❄️💃🏻🙏
Merry Christmas Johannes, sending love from Croatia.
Hi Johannes. Ich freue mich auf die Folgen. Ich hab mich immer gefragt warum du nicht mehr Content machst, um Menschen zu erreichen, um deine Gedanken zu teilen. Ich wünsche dir besinnliche Weihnachten. 💫
I am so looking forward to your series
Martijn sent me. 😉 You're not boring darlin', you're calming in a chaotic time. And much needed in such a time of this. May YHVH make his face shine upon you and Martijn.
Johannes, you are just as loved and enjoyed as Martijn. So much gratitude to you for sharing your life with us. It's an honor to be able to take a peek into the incredibly beautiful lifestyle you both live. Happy New Year!!!
I'm looking forward to the exposure to your wisdom. Your life and commitment are inspiring.
Greetings from a new subscriber. I’m here watching from Connecticut USA
I like the Title, One year in the life of a part time hermit. I watched your dinner with Martijin, and also your greenhouse. I have seen you periodically through Martijin.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
My wife and I are so happy to see that you are making this series and will also add a portion about faith.
Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁
this intro sounds very promising.
johannes has not only a pleasant voice and healthy sense of humor, but he scripts nicely too.
looking forward to his images and ideas.
Merry Christmas Johanes !
Thank you for taking the time to make this content Johannes, much respect.
Looking forward to this. As a person who spends much of my life in meditation with my art and spiritual beliefs. I hope their is someway to share that aspect of who you are. Maartin does this too by what he shows us of his life and the world around him. Thank you
Thank you for this, Johannes! I sure shall watch all your episodes. It has been such a pleasure to visit you with Martijn during his years on the mountain. You are such a warm and lovable person, it is nice to learn to know you more!
Greetings from a warm South Africa. I am a Shepherd of a small community or fellowship in Witbank South Africa. Thus I am looking forward to your spiritual conversations and solitude lifestyle. Be Blessed in Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Thank you! Peaceful and quiet, I love it.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights. I look forward to watching the series.
Hello Johannes! This is the first time ever to be introduced to another channel and go to that channel to find a message specifically made to greet me and others like me. Thank you. You already made me laugh out aloud at least twice in this introductory, welcoming message with your humour at the beginning and the very humorous awards and yes, you are right, laurels do look good! May I wish you a Merry Christmas in my own language, 'Nadolig Llawen' (Welsh) as I am one of those old-fashioned people that somehow believe that a message is warmest and comes from the deepest part of my heart when I say it in my mother tongue. I look forward to your videos.
Lovely! 😌♥️🌟🇨🇦
I loved where u are. So quiet and peaceful. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
