Buckshot is illegal in Sweden.

Interesting guns, I hope your hunting will be successful!

Skitjakt på dig!

Surprised at the .22 for practice. And u need to be careful with neighbours being close with it. Ricochet can happen and it’s not good. A good spring air gun is a great choice for practice. And even small game hunting

That shotgun is indeed beautiful - I'm very jealous! Congrats on getting everything done.

Could you please do a longer video about the process to get gun license in sweden as foreigner? God bless!

What guns are you going to buy?

Imponerande att du lärt dig så pass mycket svenska på så kort tid att du klarade att göra jägarprovet på svenska! :D

Ziet er goed uit allemaal.

I am Swedish 🇸🇪 and find these videos so positive. People like you and your partner should be given a medal for all the work you put in and your willingness to adapt to the local community and culture - getting that hunting license is so important. Many people think living in the country is about independence and not having to rely on others when it is in fact the opposite, both for practical and social reasons you will be more dependent on neighbors. If/when you have children that will be an important anchor. You should definitely keep the wood stove no matter what. Also look into getting at least a rudimentary wood splitter, so you don’t need to do it with an axe, which will wear you out rather quickly.

Brilliant repair skills!

Hi! There is a reason that the arm is made of wood and not metal. The wood is supposed to break and protect the more complex mechanisms if you hit a rock or something else that is to hard to cut.

Wat knap dat je zoiets weet te repareren! 😊

Good to see old fashioned horse sense in repairing just like in the old days-----well, maybe they didn't have welding equipment, but the concept is still the same. If it's broken, you fix it rather than buying a new "toy" to replace a tried and true design from who knows how long ago. Thanks-----it reminded me of my dad and grandpa doing similar repairs on the ranch in Wyoming, USA.

Just for your information, in America that part that broke is called a pitman arm. And they have to be exactly the right length and weight, or they will brake again.

Nice film, and a warm, warm welcome to Sweden.

Hello, you should protect the new planted trees, because the animals like to eat the new leaves!!!

I love that you get the help inside your community and pay the people living there. This is so great for integration. I‘m really impressed how you two are doing this. Just one small tip: dry your wood inside the barn, not inside the house. It will leak some resin at some point and this will ruin everything in the visinity of the wood - been there, done that 😀 Veel plezier met jullie nieuwe huis ☀

Wat leuk, welkom in Zweden! Het ziet er gezellig uit bij jullie! Groetjes uit Zuid Zweden.

Nice job on the stairs (bikkelen), am really enjoying your videos.

“Mossy Bottom’ RUclips channel recently posted a very instructive video on compost. He moved from the UK to Ireland to live a self sufficient lifestyle and has now moved to Finland and is starting all over.

Ha Tom en Nathalie, kreeg een van je vlogs in mijn ‘feed’ en ga jullie volgen. Wij stonden 15 jaar geleden klaar om naar Zweden te verhuizen. Het werd Engeland vanwege werk. Toch blijft Zweden lokken. Leuk om te zien hoe jullie het doen. Ben mijn Zweeds weer aan het oefenen. 🤗

Hej Tom....waar heb jij je jachtcursus gedaan? Was dat in het Zweeds of Engels?

Very courageous!! When we first moved to France I was shopping more in tool shops and DIY stores than dress and shoe shopping. Unimaginable. 🤣🤣Your wood burner in the kitchen is lovely and if your electricity is as temperamental as ours would be a great back up. Your animals seem to love the move Bon chance et Bon courage👏👏👏🤞🤞👌👌

AMAZING work! Awesome effort and results! Reminds me of my early days moving here. Keep on keeping on!!!

Also, where are you getting your hunting license? Ive been looking for a place

Oh, I hope you like it here. Is that close to Lersjöfors? I work in Persberg

17:18 Bro has a serious gaming rig

Looking forward to seeing what next you guys will be doing.. New subscriber here from Growing My Own.

Impressive undertaking, with a steep learning curve! We bought a similar homestead 12 years ago and we know the struggle, although we are Swedish, born and raised in Värmland. 😊 I don't want to be a besserwisser, but there is an old saying here in Sweden about firewood that really has logic to it: One fells the trees in winter (the ground is solid frozen and hard, thus avoiding damaging the land), process them into firewood so they are ready by Easter, and then they dry (outside, in piles) and are ready by midsummer. Then one moves the firewood to dry storage in a woodshed (with good ventilation). There are a lot of reasons to this, humidity in the logs and in the air being important factors. Splitting wet wood is preferable and logs from birch will rot really fast if one doesn't split them open the same season. After midsummer the air gets humid and firewood won't dry up in time for winter. Too dry (old) firewood is also not the best. There's a whole science to this really! In the beginning there is so much to learn and too little time, but we learned the hard way that processing firewood like this is the best. Regards from another homesteader 😊

Interesting video and a beautiful property ! Did you find a job in Sweden or do you have another source of income ?

Thanks for sharing this journey!

‘Slow tv’ in optima forma! Leuk om een kijkje in jullie leven te krijgen Tom, ga zo door! Groet, Kevin.

Yall need some more diversity to make it more cultural. I am sure u are going to massive lengths to prove you are not a racist but will flee any part that has DIVERSITY.

Välkomna hit! Roligt att ni är här! Vilket jobb ni gör, och hur snabbt ni lärt er svenska! Hoppas vi får se mer!

Wat hebben de jongens een mooie tijd gehad bij jullie!! En inderdaad kun je een halve eland kwijt in de vriezer. Leuke vlog weer 😊

The modern freezers and coolers usually requires an ambient temperature of at least around 12C degrees. The compressor cannot work below that temperature and your frozen foods will thaw and get ruined. Unless you have found some special type of freezer you will have to move it to a heated room.

You do as you like with your plot but I was surprised you planted trees in the old meadows. That old "kulturlandskap" is on the down, and trees are at an all time high basically. More and more old pastures are lost to more "economic" forestry. Pollinating insects need meadows. The most herbs grow on fields that are grazed and not fertilized, or harvests of hay were taken once a year. This will let lower flowers grow and bloom and not just tall grass. Let a farmer harvest hay or do it yourself to keep the old farming landscape.

7:22 - Tomato plants don't need insect pollinators. Each flower pollinates itself when "shaken" by the wind. So if there is no wind (as in your case), you should just manually "shake" the flowers by gently tapping each flower cluster a few times with your fingers, then they pollinate quite easily.

This is actually a very small property which the owners left to survive somewhere else. What are you going to live off?

If you want to have a quick stove i would look in to something called " induktionshäll " its really quick and when you turn the stove off the stove plates wont be hot as long as an usual stove :) , Welcome to Sweden !

Never ever remove a woodstove if you're not gonna replace it. You will want to have it when there is no eletricity for a few weeks.

Välkommen till Sverige! Have you considered solar and batteries? It's kind of cheap now in Sweden and you could be entitled to tax write-off on the installation, if you're paying taxes in Sweden!

Why are traditional houses in Sweden painted red? I'm just new here in the channel. I come from the Far East where we have no snow. Just rainy and dry seasons.

Erg leuk om jullie te volgen! Wij hebben (vakantie)huis redelijk dichtbij jullie met veel van dezelfde uitdagingen... Succes!

Have been reading about dutch people moving to Sweden for some time now. In the process of convincing my friend from Almelo to do that now :) Welcome here and enjoy

This is how you become a part of Sweden for real. Congrats and welcome!

Welcome and enjoy our as now yours new old country of the north. <3

Good work
