Hello, I am from Sweden. those houses are small cabins that you go to in the summer/spring. Nothing you live in permanently. that's why there's no drawn-in electricity unless they used a small power plant for lights or something. Usually one who owns the land and all the small houses. nice to see something from Sweden.
Then why would they have all that wood and fireplaces? Its not unthinkable that they lived there year around. Not to long ago we didnt have eletricity and toilets inside after all.
Definitely not a permanent house, as other have said. Its very common to have these tiny vacation homes away from the cities to go and relax. Sommarstuga I must say I love the way you actually show interest in these small tiny "ordinary" houses, quite the contrast to the enormous castles you visit
Love this, my mother was Swedish, lived to be 100- so nice how kind and respectful you both are about these personal little time capsules- best regards from USA
I've seen you explore mansions and castles but never have I felt as drawn to a place as this one. I could almost picture myself living there (except for lack of bathroom). Ruth's little house was just adorable and looking at the way it was decorated almost made you feel you knew who she was. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Boy, you really did it this time! I was happy crying. I love you guys. If the world leaders were like you it would be a kind, fair and loving world. Your parents must be very proud of their fine sons.
The tiny houses are so small they remind me of little doll houses. Thanks so much for showing us this beautiful forgotten community. Beautiful but also sad.
I love the respect you show for the properies you both enter. What struck me about the swedish properties was they were all intact. I am from the U.K. and the ones I watch from here are in a terrible state, vandalism, graffiti etc.... it's heartbreaking. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Hello, Lesley! It's been so enjoyable watching you present this exploration ! The houses are so neat and cozy, Ruth's house looks like a doll's house! I love the landscape and the peaceful ambience! Thank you for sharing the story behind this beautiful place! Good night and sweet dreams!🌠❣️
Upon first glance, Ruth's house exuded soul-warming charm with so much eye appeal. One can tell the craftsman paid Special attention to detail and functionality. Glad to see the homes were in good condition after 10+ years.
This was the sweetest little place. I think it would have been nice to be there in the summer, but not so much in the winter. Not having bathrooms in the house means that there are no frozen pipes in the winter. I think you guys should have camped there for the night and built you a fire. The community was living a nice simple life with the basic needs which shows that people really don't need all that much and can be content with having just their needs and not their wants. Thanks so much for giving such a wonderful tour of this place.❤ It's so interesting to know that this little place exists somewhere in the world.
I'm Swedish. There exist a lot of those cabins in Sweden, and like someone else wrote - it's lovely how nice and respectful you are. The little item you found in the kitchen is probably a thing you put on the table when drinking tea or coffee, you then "lean" your spoon on it, so the spoon don't stain the tablecloth. As to the outdoor natural toilet - yes, you don't want that smelly thing in your house. Also, they usually keep a big "bucket" under the toilet, that you empty every now and then, otherwise the toilet fills up. Ha det gott!
We used to have these toilets in Holland too, they were called 'poepdozen' (poo-boxes) 'oe' is spoken like 'oo' in English. And I had to laugh a little when the guy said the poo would probably go into the ground. Maybe he thought it went into a hole, but that would smell very bad after a little while and it would probably attract rats and flies in no time. There are also self sustainable places where they make compost from their own fecies to use as a fertiliser for the growth of your vegetables, trees, and herbs. The poo is dried and mixed with all kinds of natural waste and natural 'food' to make the ground fertile and healty. Puur natuur...
Big bucket under toilet??? Dont they have sewege infrastructure ? Knowing that its beter not to have toilet in hoise but if they have bucket where they throw it after been full?
@@MorjanaTaleb they take out the bucket, dig a whole somewhere nearby, and put the stuff there... goes back to nature. In many old little cabins like this they do not have running water, black water etc...
@@helenaclaesson6469 thanks for explaining I m from Lebanon and i have swedish friend since long time he was serving as peacekeeper in the united nations forces in lebanon
@@MorjanaTaleb my pleasure, happy if you have a good friendship with this Swedish UN person... UN is also called "united nothing"... but there are good people of course. My family owned a similar cabin in the forest, we have now uplevelled to running water, it's isolated for winter etc... but a lot of Swedes love to at least visit these simple cabins in the summer time. Winter is too cold of course. Have a great day!
That little "science molecule" in the kitchen is a knife rest. You put your knife on it to keep it off the table incase it has jam or butter on it. Keeps the table clothe clean. Thank you for your lovely video.
Thank you Leslie and Danny. Ruth in English is pronounced "rooth". Small houses are easier to heat. Sauna's are used for bathing in Scandinavia. There is a shower to rinse off or jump into a snow bank. Very good for the skin. My grandparents were from Finland. They had a sauna that my Grandpa made outside their home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a lot of Finns settled there and worked in the Copper mines. Happiest people on earth!
I love this video, I wish there had been more information on Ruth.I would love to have seen a picture of her and know how old she was when she passed away. Her little house was absolutely lovely.
In my area many homes pre-date indoor plumbing. When I was a kid in 1960's our home didn't have indoor plumbing.. We, and many others, pumped water into pails from an outdoor well pump. Those "toilets" were called out houses and yes, that is where you did your business. Water was heating on the stove for bathing. Pails of water heated and put into a wringer washer for washing clothing.
That's what we did too up here in Southern Ontario, Canada. It's nice to know that other's did the same as we did. We even had an ice box but refrigerator we did get a refrigerator. Our coal stove cooked meals and heated the 2 room house we lived in (kitchen/living room, dining room all in 1 room and 1 bedroom).
@@carolali8851And it was the same here in England. There’s be a brick out house at the back of the house. My family home had a proper indoor bathroom installed in the early 1960s but the outhouse is still there.
22:55 that's called a knife rest. You put it on the counter to lie your dirty knife on to keep any food on the blade from soiling the countertop. It was also common to have a full set to use on the dining table for your dinner knives. What an amazing little settlement!
I'm just totally at ahhh how Swedish people lived those years such beautiful small homes. I'm half Swedish and Irish wished I could of been there. Love your Swedish accents.
I truly hope you get to live your dreams of overlooking a lake with peace and solitude. Both you guys deserve so much for sharing travels with those of us who can't .
Love your work Lesley and Danny. Its magical how you take us on a whole new journey every time you share. I love how you don't rush through and how you notice and appreciate every little detail and after visiting we have learnt so much and see these magnificent places in their former glory and can picture in our mind how the people who once lived here coped back in the time. Your genuine passion really makes your channel so enjoyable and I always look forward to what you may discover next. Stay blessed and we'll stay tuned. Thank you.
Leslie you and Manny are such handsome young men. I’ve watched you grow for the last 3 yrs. Y’all are so sweet and kind. Much love from the state of Illinois in the USA!
I have really enjoyed watching this. So simple. So tiny. Why were the houses so tiny? I understand the outhouses. I didn't have a bathroom where I use to live, in the 80's. The outhouse was very cold!!! 😊
The outdoor toilets were used in USA a lot, and there are still many in camping areas. They keep rodents and bugs out, having them outside. They are used for 5 to 10 years, then taken down, covered and a new one put up. A lot of older people talk about how they liked or didn't like them. Snakes that ate rodents were around them sometimes, and a lot of people got bad spider bites in them. When it was really cold, people went in a pot inside the house then dumped it later. Look them up, they are just so common it's funny that you are unfamiliar with them. Some cultures think having an indoor toilet is very unclean. I love these buildings and all you are finding inside; I can picture myself living there! When you were in Ruths house, it looked super tiny, so beautiful and I am glad you made a special tribute to her with showing a few more things and blowing a kiss! Lovely! The hand pumps need to be primed when they haven't been used for a while, so you put water into the top... but, I don't remember exactly where, but that is what we had to do when we went to a log cabin my grandparents owned and let family members stay in for vacations. The big cup like thing you pulled out from under the bed was actually what they went to the bathroom during the night, so they didn't have to go to the outhouse! They could dump it in the morning. This was a beautiful video; you both are so nice to each other! It would be cool if you could meet the people who lived here once. It makes me wonder what people will think once I am gone... I would like to leave beauty and peace like you felt at Ruths home! Thank you again!
Leslie you and Danny pulled it off again. Another fabulous video. It was so great to see you guys in Sweden I have always wanted to go. Keep it up and much love from California
I love how sweet and respectful you both are of the house and the belongings . Someone truly loved this house, how wonderful to live a life in such a beautiful little house.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING RUTH'S COTTAGE WITH US. I FEEL AS IF I KNEW HER AND COULD FEEL HER SWEET SPIRIT STILL FLOWING THRU THIS SPECIAL PLACE SHE ONCED LOVED SO MUCH. I HOPE IT WILL BE PROTECTED AND PRESERVERED FOR DECADES TO COME.
I love the wallpapers and curtains, especially in the red house. That red one reminds me of the cabin my Swedish grandfather built in 1957 in Minocqua Wisconsin on Lake Shishabogoma. He rented it out every summer after building their year round home on the same lot.
Hi. These little cabins look to be summer cabins, where they would stay just like a camping ground, hence the shared toilets, with swim trunks, insect spray, and summer shoes left behind.
This was so nice to watch! I bought an "abandoned" house in Sweden myself a year ago which I'm currently renovating. Lots of history the house. For instance, when we took out the floors, we found newspapers from the 30's and 50's in the insulation (Sågspån). I planned to document the renovation on UA-cam but had to stop after just 2 videos as filming & renovating was simply too much for me to handle. It's been a tough ride but was well worth it. There are tons of abandoned (summer) houses in Sweden. It's also a very friendly country. I'm originally from Germany and I have 0 regrets moving here. Keep up the great work!
Wow Lesley and Danny! Very cozy 🏠. Really enjoyed the tour around of the small community. I am thinking probably they are part of the same family. ❤😊👍🤗
Those are summer cottages: small, cheaply built. Time was supposed to be spent outside, while indoors was for cooking, cosy evenings and sleeping. When those houses were built, most people in Sweden would not have appreciated visiting an outside loo in the winter. They were used to modern comfort, but enjoyed their summer retreats.
Lovely cabins. Specially the first one. Rut put so much care about the details. It felt like a fairy tale tiny house. A lovely place to spend summer with books, coffee and cinnamon rolls, walking in the forest and listening to the birds in the morning.
In America the homes the Size of the first home would be called a tiny house. People do live in them to downsize from a larger home. Thank you Lesley and Danny for sharing this amazing adventure.
Most of those old pumps needed to be primed to get the water to flow. You pored some water down the hole at the top while pumping the handle to start the water.
Leslie, this is so awesome. The little house was so beautiful it shows the simple, beautiful things in life so colorful, one of my favorite videos you done . I love it. Thank you for showing
Merci vous m'avez emporté bien loin.. salut de Tunisie.c'etait merveilleux .. Rien n'est éternel On vient,on passe un certain temps puis on part laissant derrière des souvenirs
I have watched your videos for about a year and have enjoyed all of them and I love the respect you show to peoples items, I watch a lot of other people that go into abandoned homes but they don’t get back ground on them like you do, keep up the good work and I will keep watching, be safe out there
Hi! I´m living in Sweden. So fun to see you guys trying to figure this and that out. I´m sure you can ask anyone around and have an answer for what different things are for, or history behind furnitures and wallpapers and so on (it´s not that old). But its great fun to see your guesses :D. Love!
Am enjoying your travels and getting a sense of how different people lived in the past and around the world. Also from Illinois in the USA!!! Keep up the good work. Annie K
My mother is still alive, and this is exactly how she used to decorate things. Every little decoration item has meaning, and it probably had meaning to Ruth as well. Thank you for being respectful and not disturbing these houses.
Dragi moji prijatelji,hvala vam sto nam otvarate vrata života sa neke druge strane, koja nas navodi na razmišljanje o prolaznosti i večnosti. Ima jedna misao koja mi se stalno nameće dok gledam vaše reportaže, a ona glasi:Svega je bilo i biće, samo jednog dana nece biti nas.
I love it ❤ tiny home ,warm, cozy, beautiful, community lovely and inviting, offering the promise of an attractive or enjoyable experience. ❤ thank you 🙏
Hi ive been watching for 3yrs now. I loved every single video, love you both. Wish you the best for 2024. Wish i could be part of your journey in what you do ❤. ....#SouthAfrica
what a great place lovely tidy wee houses would be a nice community of people who live there houses are amazing space for a quiet life it would have to be fantastic to sit outside on a nice sunny day lesley you explain everything so brilliantly from top to bottom looking forward for your next one my self and my brother have been watching your other explores one after the other we spend all day watching them fantastic 🎥👀📺👏
I have just " discovered" your video, and really enjoyed a walk back in time. Your respect for the homes and belongings was special. Thank you. I have subscribed and will watch again. This area of Sweden is very much like Northern Saskatchewan, and reminded me of when I arrived as an immigrant.
Before modern plumbing, people used outhouses. And no you do not want it in your house. Because of smell and potential disease spread. Chamber pots were often used in the house ( a covered container ) and that would be used, say in the middle of the night, and it would be emptied later into the outhouse. To provide indoor plumbing and water and a septic system to all those little cabins would possibly cost way over a hundred thousand dollars, so that is why they built it the way they did.
❤ благодаря ви момчета, много хубаво видео клип се е получило, тук в България такива къщи има по курортните места,но толкова малки сякаш са живели джуджета и понеже те са по малката част от света,след като са починали, няма кой вече да ги поддържа и при някои пожар нацяло ще изчезнат,а така се запазиха във вашия канал и видео заснемане, има много какво да разкажете един ден на вашите деца и внуци, благодаря ви за всичко с любов вашия нов приятел Стефан България ❤😮

The respect you give to each and every home is touching, especially seeing you blow a kiss in the little home you 2 visited here!
Love this, my mother was Swedish, lived to be 100- so nice how kind and respectful you both are about these personal little time capsules- best regards from USA
Swedish immigrants brought this style of building to USA and gave us the classic log cabins.
Yes so true. It's a shame that no 1 lives their I know that I would it looks so nice & peaceful. Just cosy

Most of those old pumps needed to be primed to get the water to flow. You pored some water down the hole at the top while pumping the handle to start the water.
Leslie, this is so awesome. The little house was so beautiful it shows the simple, beautiful things in life so colorful, one of my favorite videos you done . I love it. Thank you for showing
I really ❤ the one little house with the little table by the window that is the cutest!
Merci vous m'avez emporté bien loin.. salut de Tunisie.c'etait merveilleux ..
Rien n'est éternel
On vient,on passe un certain temps puis on part laissant derrière des souvenirs
You guys are great! Like all your vids, from Washington State!
Hi Lesley and Danny, very cute places. Thank you!
Ty Leslie and Danny......such sweet memories, I'm sure
I have watched your videos for about a year and have enjoyed all of them and I love the respect you show to peoples items, I watch a lot of other people that go into abandoned homes but they don’t get back ground on them like you do, keep up the good work and I will keep watching, be safe out there
Hi! I´m living in Sweden. So fun to see you guys trying to figure this and that out. I´m sure you can ask anyone around and have an answer for what different things are for, or history behind furnitures and wallpapers and so on (it´s not that old). But its great fun to see your guesses :D. Love!
Am enjoying your travels and getting a sense of how different people lived in the past and around the world. Also from Illinois in the USA!!! Keep up the good work. Annie K
I love those little houses. They are great. And still in such great shape. Wow
My mother is still alive, and this is exactly how she used to decorate things. Every little decoration item has meaning, and it probably had meaning to Ruth as well. Thank you for being respectful and not disturbing these houses.
Dragi moji prijatelji,hvala vam sto nam otvarate vrata života sa neke druge strane, koja nas navodi na razmišljanje o prolaznosti i večnosti. Ima jedna misao koja mi se stalno nameće dok gledam vaše reportaže, a ona glasi:Svega je bilo i biće, samo jednog dana nece biti nas.
Really beautiful places, great video my friends.
Hello from Billings MT. Keep your videos coming. I enjoy them every day. Take care, Jen
That was beautiful and kind of emotional for me 😊
What an amazing place! ❤
My parents have that exact bird poster. 😄
The outhouse needs to be away from the houses, because in summer it stinks..

Hi ive been watching for 3yrs now. I loved every single video, love you both. Wish you the best for 2024. Wish i could be part of your journey in what you do ❤. ....#SouthAfrica
what a great place lovely tidy wee houses would be a nice community of people who live there houses are amazing space for a quiet life it would have to be fantastic to sit outside on a nice sunny day lesley you explain everything so brilliantly from top to bottom looking forward for your next one my self and my brother have been watching your other explores one after the other we spend all day watching them fantastic 🎥👀📺👏
I have just " discovered" your video, and really enjoyed a walk back in time. Your respect for the homes and belongings was special. Thank you.
I have subscribed and will watch again. This area of Sweden is very much like Northern Saskatchewan, and reminded me of when I arrived as an immigrant.
Before modern plumbing, people used outhouses. And no you do not want it in your house. Because of smell and potential disease spread.
Chamber pots were often used in the house ( a covered container ) and that would be used, say in the middle of the night, and it would be emptied later into the outhouse.
To provide indoor plumbing and water and a septic system to all those little cabins would possibly cost way over a hundred thousand dollars, so that is why they built it the way they did.
❤ благодаря ви момчета, много хубаво видео клип се е получило, тук в България такива къщи има по курортните места,но толкова малки сякаш са живели джуджета и понеже те са по малката част от света,след като са починали, няма кой вече да ги поддържа и при някои пожар нацяло ще изчезнат,а така се запазиха във вашия канал и видео заснемане, има много какво да разкажете един ден на вашите деца и внуци, благодаря ви за всичко с любов вашия нов приятел Стефан България ❤😮
❤ it's obvious the people there have respect for other people's properties. There so beautiful
