where I write about walking a lot.
Rosie, I don’t know if you know what the political climate in the US is like but I can tell you it’s pretty grim. You’re my oasis of calm, competence, determination and humor, an escape. Thank you for helping with my mental health :) 🤗
Yes , so true 😊
Same. Thank you for acknowledging our very real challenges...with hope we'll survive the upcoming November election with our fragile democracy still in tact. And thank you Rosie for these moments of grace and peace. 🫂🌹🫂
Me 3. Definitely watching people in other countries making their projects or decorating issues ect…makes me for a few minutes put our problems on the back burner. Thank you.
Me 4…and your music is lovely ❤😊
You are spot on. Yes, Rosie you are a Sunday escape from all the chaos here in the US. If I could leave the country I would.
You're a one woman army and I absolutely love it! ❤️ I'm a 33 year old male from Greece and I've decided to "semi" ditch society and build my own home in Greek countryside, fingerscrossed I'm starting next spring 🌱🤞 wish me luck
Best wishes to you! I would also enjoy watching your journey.
Good luck to you. Greetings from 🇨🇦
I'm doing the same and already purchased a cottage. I'm much older though and it's a challenge as I too am alone. What I would give for my old knees though 😊

Hahaha, the end! My parents were campers, and they went on long hikes and camped in the forest. As an adult child, I refused this! I moved to a big city and started building a corporate girly lifestyle. But I was unhappy, and for over a decade, I couldn’t wrap my head around why I was struggling with my dream life. Here I am, 32 years old, who has moved to the countryside and switched to a remote contract to be able to go camping and go on long hikes alone with my dog wandering in the woods and dipping in creeks. And I’ve never been happier. I guess we can’t change what we hoard in our DNA 🤣😂
That is so true! All my ancestors were farmers but not me and my husband, but several of our children are really into growing their own food, so yes the genes are powerful! 😂
Good one Rosie!
Janka I hope that you have found your place of peace and satisfaction as well as a workplace that is working well for you.
@@jankaaishakovacs7714 Or hoard in our hearts ❤️
I’m glad that you’ve found a healthier, happier lifestyle. Good luck going forward 🍀😘🇨🇦
How to spot a (fellow) Dutch person : 'Hey, let me show you my shed full of bikes' 🚲😊
Dear Rosie, your videos are refreshing, empowering and inspirational. I enjoy the calmness of nature and your creations. I often have a smile on my face while watching. And today I laughed out loud at the end..."don't we all turn at least a bit into our parents, if we want it or not?!.😂"
Rosie you are amazing I love all that you do and how you manage your life. Congratulations 🎉❤😊😊❤❤❤❤
Mind blown here... sewing, building, gardening, biking & tent camping and she includes drone shots on her journey. You are amazing Rosie.
I so appreciate you taking us along on your adventure to get your new bike. Between the distance, the rain, your tiredness...that fact that you stop and film and chat etc is just mind blowing. Your commitment to your channel is so much appreciated. I just love watching your place in this world. Thanks you 🙏
You think like me which is amazing because of that
There's nothing like company coming to get all those odds and ends of projects done. They'll never know how much work you put into the place, but it's a real testimony to your ingenuity, hard work, and discipline. You've learned so much.
❤❤❤
They Will know, if they watch ROSIE'S videos. 🙄
@@rosieposie6521 “If” is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence. Even if they’re watching her videos, Rosie’s is only showing less than 1% of her efforts. It’s easy to sit in your comfortable house or apartment and comment. It’s another thing to work diligently on restoring your mostly unheated cabin through eight months of cold, with only two wheeled transport to shops 15 miles away, with a limited budget and limited tools, learning on the fly through UA-cam videos.
Why not hang the sheets of plywood on the wall by the steps, it looks like there is a little porch there?
Woman... the most charming creature by nature! She's brilliant at coming up with a way to mount a step and incredibly sweet at admitting to using the wrong light switch! That's probably why we men love them so much... lovely and charming sorceresses! Respect from Russia! 😄😊
As a woman in the US, I am always nervous seeing you camp alone in the woods. It’s a reminder that there are safer and more peaceful places to be found.
I'm sad for you. That you font live somewhere in the US tgat you can feel safe. I'm in the US live alone on my property and feel very safe.
Alone. Forest. No food to speak of, or coffee. Alone. No helmet. Hopefully you have an emergency satellite phone. Please stay safe.
So why we have all these people coming? Better to leave and make space...
I live in Canada and while there is much countryside it is not safe as a woman alone to camp in these woods.
@@jitkap2334
I think it depends on where you camp. I wouldn’t camp along the Trail of Tears in British Columbia, for example, where so many Indigenous girls and women have been killed.
You have to be one of the most amazing people on earth. I can’t
fathom your ingenuity, strength and bravery.
Your videos are like watching a cinema production. Your so brave to travel and stealth camp alone. Dehydration must be taken seriously. Your an intelligent young lady that we are amazed by. I love your bumble bee material and await your creation.
same here
❤ Rosie, Thank you for you.
What I notice,...for all your projects, how soft, feminine and delicate your hands and nails are. Impressive. Patient hands for sure.
I too have noticed her beautiful hands. They are very pretty considering all the physical work she does. She certainly could be a hand model😉
Yes, and no cuts, scrapes, blisters, callouses! Amazing!
We all seem to turn into our parents. I am 79 and every time I look at my hands I see my mother’s hands exactly! I actually gives me a warm feeling now. The older I got the wiser I realized my parents were! Now I thank God everyday for them because they helped me become who I am now and I am pretty pleased whit who that person is! I love watching your channel because I am so impressed at the skills you have and how you have chosen to live your life. I married at 18 because I was afraid to live alone but divorced at 28 because I really didn’t like living with someone so have been living alone since then and love every minute of it. Your ability to do all that you do is so impressive. There are several youtube channels where I watch young European people who have amazing skills and abilities unlike anything American young people have and I am so very impressed.
I think a lot of parents would be happy if their kids form of rebellion would be hiking
I am a 78 yearss old and your endeavours have encouraged mé to get the paint out and do the wood work myself😅 love to you all,from Ireland .
Its funny how having a visitor can drive you to finish things! Or at least do a massive clean up in my case. Love the fabric doors and will keep things from getting dusty.
Rosie, you are not only a talented woodworker but you are Wonder Woman! My goodness that was a long trip!!
I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing your life with me.
Living the life of Rosie vicariously from far away Boise. I love that you wear protective gear when building projects around the home. But I cringe when I see you go from here to there, often in the middle of nowhere, without a helmet! I'm recovering from surgery after being jumped on my bike by an unleashed dog. Thankfully, I was wearing a helmet. I'm grateful that all I needed was a plate and pins in my elbow. Stepping off my soapbox and looking forward to the next videos, you brilliant young woman!
The ironic part is that she's always great at wearing protective gear (eyes and ears) when cutting wood, or when she's working in the garden. I don't understand why she chooses to not wear a helmet when she's on the bike in a big city like Gothenburg or riding along roads where cars drive at pretty high speeds. She even said in this video that her parents used to bike a lot, so it's just odd that she doesn't protect the most important body part while biking.
I hope that you recover well & quickly. Good luck 🍀😘🇨🇦
I am here at a speed of light for Rosie! ❤
Having studied film making, im always bowled over by your cinematography, content and editing on top of the constant inspiration and beautiful escapism your videos provide. I always think I’d love to see you and your journey in a documentary about your connection with nature, self sufficiency and inspiring resilience as a woman choosing to live on your own and build your own home miles away from Any towns without a car. I don’t think you’re aware how much peace, joy and inspiration you provide to so many women with your beautifully shot videos. 😍
Take those big sheets of wood and make doors for the wood storage so that the wood does not get wet.
Perfect sliding doors as Rosie needs a complicated element in her activities, hahaha.
a nice idea. though she would need to treat them, otherwise they would become very floppy doors in a couple years!
Those looked like OSB which means that they're glued-together wood fiber strands. They're not very esthetic and not good against the weather.
Always, always, always my mind is boggled by every single thing this Rosie gal does. 🥰
Hello ☺. I'm 72 now and have cycled all my life. But we always carried water, food, and high energy snacks! Cycling takes up so much energy. You don't have to be diabetic for your sugar levels to drop and for you to pass out. More clothes, you can always take off what you don't need. More food, you can always leave what you dont need. Attach a pannier rack to your new bike. Take care Rosie, I thought you actually looked quite ill ... Sending love & light 🚴♀️🚴♂️ xx
For those who don't know you used to adventure around the world, this may seem out of context. I'm glad to see you're reincorporating this into your life.
The bee fabric is amazing! Also, I wanted to tell you that you inspired me to build my own workbench. I improved upon your design by adding hinges so the braces can fold in and the top can fold down when I'm not using it so it won't be in the way. Its working amazing and I wanted to thank you!
Rosie, your joy in your own company is so refreshing.. you are the most self sufficient person I know of. A reminder to take joy from the little things around us.
You produce videos that are like an oasis; calming, interesting, and creative. Thank you.
vous réussisiez tout ce que vous entreprenez! vous êtes pourtant perfectionniste, méticuleuse, maniaque (?) , ...
votre manière de faire m'enchante! vous avez "la tête bien faite"; expression française! toujours un réel plaisir de vous re trouver! merci du partage!
You certainly can be classed as a traveller. Riding your bike just calms you and you see the beauty all around you. You are so fortunate that you chose to live in Sweden, where you don’t have to be afraid sleeping in the forest by yourself. Hope you enjoy your friend’s visit.
I’m amazed at how brave you are to sleep in the woods by yourself you live in a beautiful country 🇬🇧😊
An idea about where to store the sheet goods- maybe under the mattress/bed in the guest house? They could be out of the way,, still lying flat so they don't warp, and kept nice for when you eventually need to use them.
I have grown to really enjoy your channel, and you help me keep going on my home/farm building projects, as well as rekindle my joy for sewing. When I get stuck, I just say, "hey, Rosie can do it, just keep at it!" It doesn't hurt that my mom's name was Rosy, and honestly, she could do just about anything.
Keep up the good work!
oh my, I love your courage and many talents-and your humor! You are a marvel!!❤
And such is life, that we can enjoy something so sweet and pure as bees on a dress...you never cease to amaze Rosie...and by the way, the new bike is just the cutest...!
I don't know if you wept with relief when you got home, I practically did for you. Love the wardrobe doors by the way ❤
I hope you're looking back over your videos - to see how far you've come!!! Your tool handling skill has become so fluent, which ties closely to your design ideas. So I'm thinking you are going to become more expressive of reflecting your personality in your future creations! It's pretty exciting to see someone developing so remarkably.
It's 3.25am here in KSA. Sitting in bed with my teething baby. Your videos are a treat. Truly. Have been checking for notifications all day. Lol. I'm invested in your videos
Can so relate. I love watching Rosie's videos.❤
Rosie, once again you never cease to amaze me.. your simplistic way of life that you’ve chosen has so many rewards and you’ve chosen to share it with us. Your happiness shines through despite the challenges you face, you find a way.
Your wardrobe doors look amazing, clearing the guesthouse for your friends arrival has got so many jobs done, a huge relief for you. The stairs look awesome and your cycle home was lovely to watch. You must be so proud. Have a lovely week ahead and as always I look forward to your next video 😊
Rosie I’m so happy to see you use a weed eater to clear the grass. Next I hope to see you on your very own riding lawn mower. Maybe a sponsor will want to market their product for you to showcase one.
I adore your cute new bike Rosie😊❤ Especially since the e-bikes have to be charged, are great for short distance day trips. So happy for you!
I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and where I live there are plenty places to camp and feel safe, as I have looked at places to stay since watching your UA-cam channel. You’ve inspired me to start collecting items for a short day camping ⛺️ trip of my own! Thank you! I can’t wait for your next video🥳
@@DianneC8287 That’s wonderful! 😊
You have incredible tenacity and audacity to create your world. An example of strength for us all! I admire you !
❤❤❤My English is terrible. I follow you from Italy and it’s a joy for me on sunday, when I can see your new video. You give me peace in my heart and in my head. And I need it so much. I adore you and your creations. You have made, the house of my dreams. You are, a great smile every week, of my life.
Thank you for all that you give me, with your semplicity and kindness! I hope you have a good week and sorry for my english. See you soon
Thank you dear!❤❤❤
@@AlessandraMelandri Your English is great! 😊
Your English is perfect!!
Your English is totally fine. You were able to express yourself quite eloquently. Well done.👍🏻🇨🇦
What a blessing to become our parents!
I never want your videos to end. Absolute highlight of my fortnight.
I’m not as brave as you but because of you, I am packing in the rat race and moving to the countryside in Tasmania to live as sustainably as I can. I want to buy a place with a workshop, so I can attempt som DIY too and renovate furniture.
Thanks for being such an inspiration.
I just love your sense of humor!!! 😊
Buying a bicycle, and then ride it home, is a special feeling. As Rosie, do not hesitate over the distance home, the longer the distance the greater experience. After all, the things that we buy, we should spend time using and enjoying.
Your home is looking wonderful! I had to laugh at the end, today my 22yo daughter was listing off some things she wanted to learn and suddenly turned to me and said "OMG I sound like you! And I spent so many years rebelling!"
How great that your daughter recognized & acknowledged that. You’ve done well. How did you respond? I’d have laughed & been touched.👍🏻
We all turn into our parents in one way or another. Glad you had a nice journey and it looked so peaceful.
Fabric doors came out amazing!
Love that you designed them to ‘breathe’ so the clothes don’t get stagnant.
really I thought I was alone in the world when I think 'the obvious solution to buying a bike is to take a train ride to a distant city and then spend a few days cycling it home!' So lovely to have your inspiration so kindred spirits can live life vicariously through your adventures :D
I wanna jump up and down and talk about how you should cheaply insulate your cottage etc, so when you're ready for that perhaps ask the audience for pointers?
Meanwhile, now I plan to do a wander this summer just to see how far and how many days I can get from home :D
Seeing you’ve posted a new episode always brings a smile to my face and it stays, right through to the touch of humour you add at the end. Thank you Rosie.
The amount of times I audibly said, "you go Rosie!", or "get it girl" during this video we'll exceeded the double digits. Your independence and calm inspire me. You don't know a trial, you push though them and learn around them and I am so floored by that. I know this is one side of it all, but your strength gives strength even through a screen.
Thak you for that Rosie ❤
You MUST be an american...
@@rosieposie6521 Yes, Americans are often kind, supportive, encouraging and grateful.
@@rosieposie6521 proudly...
Proudly
Thought I would give you a compliment. When I do a project either with sewing, painting or cutting wood, I usually move at a fast pace like I’m in a hurry to get somewhere. Something I’ve noticed is that you don’t do that, and your projects come out beautifully. I need to slow down and appreciate what I’m doing! Thank you! 😊
Never would have thought the bias tape, looks so much cleaner!
Your amazing with your self discipline and will to try new and difficult things on your own.
Oh Rosie I just love your calm, methodical approach & your beautiful deep stoicism. You are a gorgeous soul & glorious gift 💕🎁 God bless 💖🙏
Well put. Thx
Enjoy your summer fun Rosie. Love your inspiring videos
You always sneak the must subtle comedic relief into your videos and I thoroughly appreciate it!!! 1) Using the wrong light switch; and 2) Part 3. 😜😂🤪🙂
I know technically it's Sweden but I think of it as Magicland. It's so beautiful and I look forward to more of your cycling adventures! Please consider giving us a "tour" of your bike? I'm so curious why you chose it, the tires (traveling on non paved surfaces), packing it up with all your gear, etc.
Stunning video! Your editing and drone skills have really gone next level, so beautiful! Quick tip, as a cyclist I highly recommend that you get some proper cycling shorts ( with padding for your bum) and use some “chamois cream” that will IMMENSELY improve comfort and enjoyment on the bike, and reduce risk of chafing and potential sores in that area,
(It happens, and isn’t fun and Will leave you off the bike for a good while!) love seeing you enjoy bike riding to explore!
So lovely to see that you picked great lifestyle from your parents - cycling. It's good for your health , covers lots of terrain and you are able to see lot of beautiful nature and explore .
The light switch. Thats hilarious. We all have had those moments and the thing is when you solve it the problem being fixed easily makes you feel so happy that the whole episode does not feel so bad.
I’m my dad now and my mom!
Learned handy skills from both of them and glad I did!
Don’t need a man around!
I prefer it that way.
you are an ingenious, imaginative, creative person and very accomplished I hope you are very proud of your self..
Rosie you are the most unique and adventurous person on the internet. I love your channel and have watched every episode. And I have read your travel blogs. Thanks, as always, for sharing. Have fun with your friend!!
She has travel blogs? Where?
A stunningly beautiful video! The repeating s-curve motif through all those travelling shots was just exquisite attention to detail.
You can't take the "Roaming" out of Rosie! I'm happy to join you on your new version of adventuring, and on your homecoming to your self-made house.
I do not sew particularly well, but do love the quiet patience and work of the process. Save the headache and splurge on a battery operated staple gun...omword, they are a dream 🥰
Electric works great too!
what we see here is a solitary Forrest elf in it's natural habitat.
Rosie, the effort you put into your home and this channel is amazing, we appreciate you!!!
Yay, new video!
I bow for your courage. Spending the night alone in the forest takes a lot of courage. I wouldn't have the courage. I envy your attitude to life and your abilities. I'm sitting here, it's early in the morning, drinking a coffee and watching your video. It calms me down a lot and now I have the strength to start the day. Thank you for that 🫂
It's much safer for her in the forrest at night than in a city during the afternoon. She is the only one there. Keep up the good work Rosie ❤
I went camping with my daughter for the first time last week. Our site ended up being very isolated with a lot of empty sites
around us.
It was not the animals I was up all night listening for. Next time I will pick a busier area just to have the safety of others closer.
you're the best! been to your other sites you are a powerful woman who lives your life not others.
It will be so nice for your friend to visit you. Guesthouse is sweet and yard is beautiful and let's not forget your special greenhouse. You have accomplished so much already. You must be so proud to show your property. Keep on doing such a great job. You have obviously inspired others to try live as they dream too. Hurrah to that!!
Beautiful, strong, practical, honest, Talented, if we where all like you the world would be a better place
Thank you for sharing your life with us
Christopher
Na 85 video's van je bekeken te hebben, wil ik graag mijn complimenten aan je geven. Elke keer als je een nieuwe video online hebt gezet, voel ik een vreugdesprongetje. Zelfs na 85 video's over m.n. jouw huisje en het mooie werk wat jij daarin verricht geniet ik van elke video. Dit komt mede door de zeer professionele editing (ja ik weet dat hier vele uren werk achter zitten) en de grote zorgvuldigheid waarmee jij werkt. Roos (Rosie), jouw werk is naar ik vermoed een inspiratie voor velen en ik hoop dan ook dat er nog vele video's zullen volgen! 😌❤
Rosie....You are my twin but your talents far exceed mine. My life has been solitary and I have spent time in places Women were told not to go. You will never discover who you are by staying in a comfort zone Women. Live your life.
Awesome video, Rosie. I have to say, your melding of music with image is spot on...beautiful!
Ah yes, the problem of the ever-growing fabric stash! So many ideas, so little time -_- But buing fabrics is half of the fun!
Everything about your channel is so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us 😊
Rosie, you are a force of nature! It was such a treat to see your video today! I hope you had a wonderful visit with your friend. The homestead is really looking wonderful. Thanks for sharing.😊
The effort to show us the unexpected trip is remarkable. Thanks Rosie. You take care.
The light switch. You were pressing the wrong lightswitch. 😂😂😂 You are so funny.
So much humour.
I guess we are all a chip off the old block. 😂
What an epic video of all the things you did.
The bike ride home, filming, and stealth camping is unbelievable.
Well done Rosie.
You are are such a fighter.
I hope you are having fun with your friend. 🤗👋💖
We all are making a life and none of us have the slightest idea how long until out 'this' life will end. I always felt, until I forgot but now recall, what I wanted to be able remember when old age crippled my body. I recall some movies, some books, some events, all more or less like those others recall. But I live now, when my body will not tolerate the endurance, the absolute grandure of vistas I happened upon while exploring. At the time treks across the deserts seemed barely tolerable. Now I recall every facet of the sunrise (not the exhausted). Every lizard or snake warming itself in a small shaft of sunlight, but not the freezing rain of the night before. I remember conversations of persons I met who I still don't know now. My heaviest regret is not the occasional fear of the unknown or of failing. Nothing measures as weightedly as experience to have lived through the experiences that I thought were endurance testings at the time. My advice to anyone: Live a life worth remembering while also understanding how wonderful the adventure is. ... Yes! Always celebrate your opportunities, Roaming Wild Rosie!
What an inspiration you are Rosie. Such a beautiful place, no snakes in the woods or other creepy things, including strangers. I love watching your journey.
You are amazing. I am jealous of your guest. Your friend gets to bathe in the energy of you- all the work- all the details created by your loving hands. Divine space!
I really can’t wait for u to start new sewing projects! At the moment i am also sewing my summer wardrobe.
Your creativity is amazing. You just think it up and it appears 😊. Your skill and patience is to be commended. Best wishes and continued success.❤
Such a clever girl 🥳🦋🎉
Love your hard work! Please a video review on the bike 🙏🏻, it looks amazing!
The seam binding on the fabric panels looks so good. I love how you make every to the highest standard your budget allows, even if you have to redo things to make them right. The room is coming together so nicely. Congratulations on your new bike. We all rebel, in big and small ways, to individuate from our parents. Hopefully, we take what works for us and the rest that we recognize does not suit us falls away. I hope that your friend has had a lovely stay. Lucky friend.
You are amazing, Rosie! Am really enjoying following you and your work. This was an amazing journey for you!
So fun. Love the channel. Big smile. 😊
I really like the use of fabric as an insert to the closet doors. It looks so charming. Your friend will be amazed at your home, and you can proudly say that you made everything yourself!! Kudos! Your home looks so unique but beautiful and functional.
I was looking for your video today because I woke up and it occurred to me that a new one would be coming soon. I've been out of town working the last week and a half, so this is a great treat to come home to. I'm glad you survived your bike ride!
So good to see what you are up to now. I am in awe of your many talents ! The blond wood and the screen doors fit perfectly in the cabin !
Enjoy the company of your friend. Wish you a happy summer ! ❤❤❤
I think you got guts and determination ! Wish I'd had more when I was young !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are making a great life for yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Living in an small island Singapore with very much access transportation right in front of door steps, I salute 🫡 on your cycling journey, & courage and hope to see u owning a small car and seeing u driving without fronting the rain 🙏
Glad you figured out your guest house lighting.😂 Been there. Done that.
Is there anything youcannot do? Rosie you are such an inspiration to me. I love your artistic talents. You have created a fine home to be proud of.
Roaming Wild Rosie!🌹
You are one brave adventurous woman!!!
Thank you for sharing ur ride! Your bike is perfect!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
You are so creative and talented. Thanks for sharing the beautiful countryside and your biking adventure.
Great job fixing the stairs with the L-brackets. So clever! I loved the drone footage of your trip back from Gothenburg. Enjoy your time with your guest.
