  In Sweden we say that fire wood get you warm three times. When you cut it, when you haul it and finaly when it burn.

  As a middle-aged Finn, it´s really pleasant to see young people building their lives around nature and respecting the old. What a lovely couple.

  I&apos;m an American carpenter/contractor 43 years. &nbsp;I appreciate letting me see your home. &nbsp;Very impressed with your resourcefulness. &nbsp;It warms my heart seeing young people like you living off the land, off the grid like this. &nbsp;You remind us what&apos;s important.

  This is my favourite type of vid from your channel to watch, where someone has worked extremely hard to realize their dream using modest means

  I haven&apos;t finished the video but I immediately recognized it to be a good cure for social media fatigue.

  The dude is awesome for making this island cabin and his wife is awesome too for being willing to stay here despite difficulties. Both of them are gems.
