    STORY
    Picture yourself living in isolation for over six decades, deep within Sweden's impenetrable forests, with minimal connections to the outside world-such was the extraordinary life of Mister G Loow.
    Our journey led us to a secluded cabin, tucked away amidst the solitude of the woods, its interiors still echoing with the presence of its former occupant. It took us several hours of hiking to reach this lonely Cabin.
    Mister Loow, a man who cherished solitude, rarely made appearances in the town. His neighbors and townspeople, concerned about his well-being, would check on him every few months, and some even ventured to his place to ensure
    he was still alive.
    Since his passing in 2004, everything has been gradually falling apart, yet it remains frozen in time, untouched for two decades. His car in the backyard and his living room still mirror the way he left them on his last day on earth.

    46 years old Swede here. I would guess the old man died in 2004 year, or during the end of 2003 year, and during the last year(s) of his life didn't have power or possibility to do any upkeeping. Before that he at least tried (the typical Swedish Christmas lamps in the windows, even if he lived where noone saw them except perhaps the mailman!) The woman's clothes could as well be his old mother's, or maybe he was once married but his wife died suddenly or left him, and he never threw the clothes away, maybe dreaming some strange dream that she would eventually return? Or maybe she was his sister which would explain that there is no real bedroom for two in the house? I noticed some details on the ground floor were clearly from 1990s or early 2000s (like his surprisingly newish landline telephone and some of the grocery store paper bags), but on the upper floor the grocery store paper bags were of a 1980s style just like I remember them from my childhood then. Maybe the upper floor was left in a mess when the man got old and couldn't walk up the stairs any more. Probably he lived his whole life in this place and it wasn't any problem as long as he had his power, but finally he got too old and couldn't move, let alone take care of the house, but still refused help (or refused to ask for help) from the local authorities, There are, or at least used to be, lots of people in Sweden living like this man, alone in a small wooden house deep in the forest, where time stood still since their mother died or something like that... At least this man had electricity, a landline phone, a mailbox and it seemed he had some contacts with the outside world.

    My neighbour lived in his old stone house for the entirety of his 85years, did zero upkeeping since his parents past away & never left the house in his last 30years. Neighbours shopped for him & would leave it on his doorstep...he wouldn't allow anyone in his house.
    On him passing 5years ago, I was fortunate to go inside & I was totally amazed at what I saw. It was just like stepping back in time 50+ years ago...his kitchen was a fire pit stove & solid stone worktop balanced on solid stone uprights.
    The house has since been completed renovated.

      I know it all too well.

I thought as long as it stood, I had a roof over my head. It had started crumbling down around me. When someone came in and looked at it, they did a test with some kind of meter to test how much moisture was in the walls and they were full. It almost costed me the sale, but someone finally bought it. It broke my heart. It was the only home I ever owned. It’s been a year now and I still cry over it. It may have been crumbling, but it was still my home. I raised my son there. Now I live with my son and his wife. She is great daughter-in-law and all, I have no complaints in that area, but I feel like a burden. There’s nothing like having your own. Even if it is falling down around you.

    Hey Lesley, I just rewatched this video of your explore together with Danny. Already at the beginning it was interesting to see how challenging the hike was to finally reach the location. - I can imagine, that this wood house was back in the active days quite a cozy and comfortable home. Very typical nordic style from the outside with these red and white colours, which I have seen many times in Finland as well. - I saw an electric lamp at a bedside and a switch on a wall. So the former owner even had electricity, also necessary for the fridge and freezer. - It is actually quite unique to see, that in this remote location was electricity and other equipment to have quite a comfortable life. - I also loved seeing how respectful you and Danny were approaching the probable life of the former owners. Despite of the heavy decay and the messed up state of some rooms there were still a lot of nice and charming details visible, especially in the living/dining room. - Once more a wonderful explore video with strikingly beautiful background music! Respect, my friend!
    I am already looking forward to your next explore adventure! - Stay safe, bro, many hugs, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.

      They/He/Her clearly went to town for supplies, and people came to him - there's a green box for people to leave small things/notes if they come when no one's there. There's a lawnmower in the shed, so the house was probably surrounded by grass. It would help to know how far from town the house is, even if we don't know which town. It would be a full time job keeping on top of the chores to keep the house up, and people who live where there is serious winter have "winter projects", at least they do here in Canada. I would think the small houses in the shed would be that. Upstairs, you can see the clothes line where clothes were dried in winter.

      As they say in Prometheus "God does not build in straight lines" and the same should go for flat surfaces (mostly).

    It's interesting and also touching to see the traces of a life that once existed, and now the proof slowly fading away in this time capsule. It awakes emotions, and all us who watching this gives in a way value to their existanse. And that's positive.
    The other aspect of this is; The people who lived here, detached from the rest of the world, obviously appreciated their privacy very highly. And I must say, I find it disturbing that this private home is trespassed by people with camera, that reveals the full name, including showing family photos of the property owner. Even if the people are deceased, this is violating of the privacy and an act of disrespect.
    I suggest for the movie makers. In cases like this, leave out names and private photos, and keep it completely anonymus. And for this particular movie, the decent thing to do would be to make a re-edit, leaving out private information and re-post it.
    I'm convinced your intentions are the very best, but, as for all of us, sometimes we forget to think twice.
    Good luck with future projects.

      True. Why are we judging people who live alone as sad? He or she may have enjoyed living alone. It's being taken away from this place and put in a nursing home that may have been sad for them.

      That’s true ! I am alone but not lonely… I have lived alone for over 25 years and I love ❤️ my solitary life! I do whatever I want, whenever I want, for as long as I want to do it. I’ll work on something I want to make or relax and read a really good book 📕, watch my favourite movies 🎥 🍿 or play guitar 🎸 for 8-10 hours straight some days / but mostly at night and it’s awesome to not be bothered by anyone and all of the worlds “ problems “ I have a very stressful job constantly dealing with an endless parade of people and their issues all the time that I do every single day when I am working. I am starting to find that the older I get the more value my alone time to do whatever I want without all the stress more than anything else. It’s quite peaceful and really relaxing 😌 and I enjoy it more and more as time goes by. I do enjoy company or a relationship a lot if it’s with the right person but I also enjoy being by myself just as much or sometimes even more ! 😄 i do think that some people need to be around other people all the time… but that being said some of us don’t need or want m that in our lives every waking minute of every day and it can be nothing but a total stress trip to some of us to always be around everyone all the time. I think he or she had a great peaceful life in this place. I’d bet it was a really comfortable, relaxing little place when it was newer and in better condition . 😊
