Just wonderful, have been near this area the peacefulness of nature brought intense joy to my heart and soul. His cadence of being there likewise. Amazing man.
After watching Martijn's videos for a while, I came to realize that there are a few vloggers that ruin it for most other video producers. Completely unintentional of course, but their way of using cameras and sounds sets a standard that makes it almost impossible to really appreciate other similar videos anymore. Itchy Boots is a very good example; Martijn's narrative style is another. Because in his videos, the speech maintains a constant sound level, the music supports (sparingly) instead of disturbing. The video is logically structured, he makes reasonably long clips, does not linger too long with the drone images. No unmotivated pan or tilt, nor zooming in and out. The camera is stable and he does not cheat when he has to go a long way back to pick it up again after a shot. Plus the picture quality is always excellent! In short, a school example of how to best tell a story with camera and sound!
Surely Martijn is not doing all the filming and vid work himself? If so he is on another level of accomplishment beyond what I already credit him with.
I don't know how you managed to write it so eloquently! but that's exactly what was going through my head I was trying to find what the key things are that make his videos the quality that they are and you found them all.
I'm italian, and I'd like to show all italians your videos, so that they can learn how to live in difficult times putting all your effort , time, creativity, money, calmness eccc..... to plan a more sustainable and independent lifestyle, other than complaining and worrying about what's happening around, doing nothing or just wanting their old life back and staying in that shitty comfort-zone. Congratulation Martijn for your hard work ! You are an example to follow !
My wife watched a couple of minutes while in full screen and asked me:"Is this a movie"? that's a valid question due to the quality of the shots and especially the drone ones!
A very similar thing happened to me! Except she asked: is this a documentary?....And then I turned around and I saw no one cause I actually don't have a wife
I'am italian and i must thank you because you made me discovered a "little", remote, part of Italy with such popular culture, maybe abandoned but full of the resonance of the past, and it is very rare; also thank you for these beautiful videos. A tv troup wouldn't do it better.
@@Sara-gc8nn I wouldn't argue with the good part but since then he has improved in several aspects. Both story telling and visual setups are beautifully put together and crafted which in my opinion was not present in his past videos on this level. This is a very commendable thing since he keeps perfecting his craft even further.
Mate I don't know how you do it but the cinematography of all your videos is amazing. But then again it might be easy when everything around you looks amazing. Whichever the case everything is beautifully shot. Great videos!
I don’t watch TV but I watch UA-cam on sailing, skoolies, outdoor living…UA-cam put this video on my home page, I clicked the first episode and was amazed I finished watching it and wanted to watch more…. I asked myself why l liked it, I am not a builder…it must be the simplicity, the slowness, the scenes, the ability for a man to build something from nothing …the absence of peer pressure and arguments …. A world that brings peace and harmony…thank you for sharing this experience
Idea: That lead pipe looks large enough to fit a plastic hose inside it. Maybe you could push it through the whole distance; then you don't have to dig up the old pipe and/or cover the new one. :-)
To put a plastic pipe inside the lead pipe would reduce the flow of water considerably. Get rid of the lead pipe. Not good for your health. Don't try using it for anything else.
The mirror scene gave a completely different feel to the entire video, felt like an old western movie or something. Love watching these and getting inspired. Thanks for all the hard work!
@@TheStarBlack Me too - it was a classic shot and reminded me of the story of the Buddhist monk that went in to the bank to make a substantial cash withdrawal.The bank clerk said " Can you identify yourself please ? " to which the monk took a small mirror from his bag,looked in it and said " Yes , that's definitely me ! ".....
You can put a lot of dead twigs and old leaves in the bottom of a raised bed- it saves on the volume of soil required and rots down over the years to form soil and feed the plants.

I'd go big with the skylights ... maybe 2 or even 3. Considering the walls I wouldn't be too concerned about a breathable membrane for the roof, just waterproof would do, I'm not an expert but I just can't see your home noticing a breathable roof membrane. Either way respect your choices and the design seems well thought through and I guess you don't want to stray too far from the traditional design or alarm the planning authorities too much ... but even so I go for as much light in the roof as possible maybe on downside part of the roof from the road, I'd be staring out at the mountains for hours sipping coffee, it's wonderful terrain.
@@MakeAllThingsBeautiful I agree with you. If Martijn is planning to turn this old barn into a residential home then it is essential to put as much as possible natural light.
Great idea ! Plus The bathroom and maybe one or two doors ( if he’s including a mini hall ?). Could also be glass bringing as much light down ! Or course his. Stove heater will take space too ! Light is so important !! As much as you can get !!
The quality of the filming, and the interest of the content is better than most TV. And the amount of talking is just right. You explain really well what you are doing and why, but there's plenty of space to just watch and enjoy. Thank you, your channel has rapidly become a real favourite.
Dear Martin, This seems to be the second time you have lived on this planet because you know exactly what you want and what you should do. You are wonderful.
Martijn, my goodness, off grid, off grid, off grid! The places you take me to, the ideas that are possible, your skill at being positive, even if you don’t know how.. thank you! The world is pretty rough right now as we all know…and actually i think i can still find my place of comfort without constant media and loss. My dad taught me you can do anything without saying it. He pulled an engine from our car in the 60’s, built a green house with hydraulics in the 70’s, we hiked to the top of San Jacinto and saw our shadow at sunrise across the massive valley on the top of the crossing mountain top. Built a now close to 40 year old business out of nothing. .. a maverick? He passed to early, at 69, on the 4th of July which is endearing because he loved America’s history and built our family business around it. Follow your heart
What I love with your channel is, that you'll show just enough of everything, but never too much to become monotonous or boring. Some others are filming the landscaoes for 10 minutes, another 10 minutes showing every single nail they put in the cabin and after that, I've switched it off and never go back to these channels. Keep going then!
Things are coming along nicely. I live in South Carolina in the US. Our planting season is in about two weeks in my area. I am trying a three sisters garden which was used by the Indigenous people of North America. I’ll plant corn and after two weeks plant a climbing bean which will use the corn and the beans will put nitrogen back in the soil for the corn. The third of the sisters will be butternut squash which will provide ground cover keeping weeds down and the leaves have small spines on them which will help keep animals out. Really enjoy your channel.
Your garden technique sounds fascinating! I was looking into the use of ollas for my drought resistant garden here in South Australia which is considered the driest state of the driest continent. Good luck with your garden! 👋🏻👋🏻🐨
@@dannyburrell4014 Yes they are. Their use of indigenous plants and their land management and hunting and tracking techniques and Dreamtime stories are amazing. We are starting to revisit their fire management techniques to reduce wildfires here in Australia. We can learn a lot from them about caring for our land and animals.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I'm 74yrs old and don't sleep well so I enjoy watching these videos very much it's as if I am there . The ending shot with beautiful music 🎶 ...I found very emotional. Your family must be very proud of you. Keep well and thank you. x
You could keep the tongue and grove lumber uncover when sunny. Cover it when rain , fog ,etc. From experience , the tarp traps the moisture under. Condensation. I like your vlogs , but more , I like your project. Its almost therapeutic. Can't wait to see the roof slates coming down.
The only content on YT that i go full screen on my TV. Great work Martjin. Your shooting style is uncannily close to my own. Seriously proud of your achievement, many will have no idea the effort and patience req to achieve this level solo..
Another amazing video by Martijn! I’m always amazed by the scenography but also your natural narrative in your video. I can’t imagine how long it takes to shoot all the content and then to edit it. Well done mate and keep it up! 💪
Your cinematography is incredible. The audio is a big part of the video. You must spend a lot of time thinking about your shots. Great job!! Love your channel
Beautiful video 🍾. I am a bit concerned about the trailer situation. Since it has already been bent past the limit where the steel alloy deforms, the overall strength has weakened severely. Just be careful with the weight on the trailer now. 👍🏽 Keep it up. :)
This is the type of content I watch youtube for, You bring the calmness that's much needed in this chaotic life. What makes you different is how surreal it all feels, It's like we are there with you on your journey, not just showing the final result but also the whole process. I love your content, and I hope you all the best in life, Thank you for blessing us with this content.
I think you have a more accurate picture of your talents than I do at this time. My humble opinion is that you are, more than most people, astounding in talent and depth of skills, meticulous to a fine degree, and gifted with the ability to pursue dreams. Also, kind enough to share them through this medium. Thank you for your enormous efforts to do so.

And then your visitors... no over the top introduction just organically they slide in the story line.... Like life itself. Thank you so much for your content!!!
It always makes me sad when a chapter comes to the end. You are doing such an amazing job, such amazing video quality, it literaly makes my day happier. Thank you Martijn. Can't wait for next sunday!
I am enjoying watching you fix up your mountain home. It is so beautiful. I look forward to watching your garden grow and your continued improvements to your place.
Hello, Martijn! Just what I needed: a trip to your incredible Alps! So peaceful and unbelievably beautiful. You continue to amaze with your ambition, creativity and skill. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. I am so loving watching it all come together little by little. As usual, the aerials are stunning. Looking forward to next time! Love from USA
In such crazy times for the world, it is such a relief to look at something that is sane. I look forward to your show every week - it calms the mind, and helps remind myself to stay busy with living. Thank you for such a wonderful gift to so many! Your adventure inspires and brings to us all something "good" in a time when "good" is lacking. Peace to you - to all of us.
Martijn I'd like to thank you for this beautiful freedom spirit that you creates through your videos, while our world is collapsing in wars and energy crisis...
So nice of the young Italians volunteering and also the gift from the two fans, very heartwarming to see that. The drone shots just get better and better, especially at the end along with the music. That drone sure can go high in the sky! Looking forward to the next one.
The best,a lot of work,but l can only imagine the happiness and satisfaction in your soul after a day's work 🙏🙏 your such an inspiration 🙂even a 70 year old like me.God bless
I agree with Dan’s comments that your films are the best. I am in awe of your drone footage. How kind people are helping and leaving gifts. So much to be thankful for and especially thankful that we the viewers can be part of it all.
This series honestly deserves some sort of award. Please do not stop uploading Martijn.
+1 Yeah cant wait whats going on like after 2-4 years :D
I agree @The Dago, I’m crossing the days at the calendar, waiting for the next. Well, I’ve started watching them all over again.😉
So true! I cannot wait for the garden to bloom.
No doubt, loving it

Hey Martijn, I enjoy your films so much. Just go on in this way. I wish you good luck with your plans and ideas. Keep realising your dreams!
Excellent! I can now enjoy my coffee and breakfast on this cold Sunday in Sydney.
Love that mirror frame, it goes well with the wall!
Martijn, your videos are the best commercials for a Jimny that I have ever seen!
Brilliant. Watched all 14 videos in one sitting. Thank you…. Beautiful work. Fantastic project. Made my Covid isolation most enjoyable.
Keep well. I’ve just tested positive today also, I feel your pain. True these amazing videos help somewhat.
That final drone shot. Wow. 👍😘🏔️
It always makes me sad when a chapter comes to the end. You are doing such an amazing job, such amazing video quality, it literaly makes my day happier. Thank you Martijn. Can't wait for next sunday!
I am enjoying watching you fix up your mountain home. It is so beautiful. I look forward to watching your garden grow and your continued improvements to your place.
Hello, Martijn! Just what I needed: a trip to your incredible Alps! So peaceful and unbelievably beautiful. You continue to amaze with your ambition, creativity and skill. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. I am so loving watching it all come together little by little. As usual, the aerials are stunning. Looking forward to next time! Love from USA
this staircase is a masterpiece.
Amazing video! The time always flys by when I watch your videos. It's great how you create such a peaceful vibe with the long and static shots.
I would say your series is a form of art. Love the slow pacing.
Living in Scotland I'm amazed how that 1200 metres up in the Alps , there isn't a howling gale most of the time !
The Alps shelter from the wind.
In such crazy times for the world, it is such a relief to look at something that is sane. I look forward to your show every week - it calms the mind, and helps remind myself to stay busy with living. Thank you for such a wonderful gift to so many! Your adventure inspires and brings to us all something "good" in a time when "good" is lacking. Peace to you - to all of us.
Martijn I'd like to thank you for this beautiful freedom spirit that you creates through your videos, while our world is collapsing in wars and energy crisis...
So nice of the young Italians volunteering and also the gift from the two fans, very heartwarming to see that. The drone shots just get better and better, especially at the end along with the music. That drone sure can go high in the sky! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Martijn...love watching the progress. Looking good and congrats on the new fridge! ;)

I agree with Dan’s comments that your films are the best. I am in awe of your drone footage. How kind people are helping and leaving gifts. So much to be thankful for and especially thankful that we the viewers can be part of it all.
