Just to let you know. Your great. You turn your hand at everything. The world would be a better place if there was more women like you. Im an older version although not as competent as you are at 62. Bike riding, diy-er, gardener, dog lover, animal rescuer, crafter. A kindred spirit. Love the videos. Well done.
Hi Marina. I'm so impressed how everything you do is organic & environmentally friendly, from your wood preservence to your vegetable growing to catching rodents. Also loved your shout of triumph when those wooden pallets fitted exactly into the wood shed. Inspirational stuff my friend xx
Beautiful practical design for wood storage. Gotta compliment your new doggo. You’ve done a great job helping him to learn trust and to accept love. Thanks for such great content! 🎉
A lovely varied video there : ) Marina. Some of my old motorcycles didnt have fuel guages on them. So when i filled the tank i would re set the trip on the speedo so when it got to a certain distance (130 miles or whatever you decide ) it would be time to fill up again. This may work for you and your van , hopefully. I like the burning treatment you did on your wood store and may try it when i build an extension to my garden shed. Best wishes from N.E England
Love your videos and your kindness towards all living beings. Thank you. Love your Reskillience suggestion for permaculture and living more in harmony with nature, off grid, self sufficient. That is the path I'm working towards.
🙏🏼😄 great effort with the door mice❤… great work around your place and so happy to see Vongola-so happy! PS I could use one of your chopping blocks-I want to learn how to carve wooden spoons!
Hadn't seen your channel for a while Marina. You know, there's so much to watch out there. Then I think, oooh, I wonder how Marina is... I love it though whenever I return, you never fail to amaze me how much you have learned over the years. You're an inspiration to us all. Keep it up 🙂
Wow your wood store is brilliant! Well done,hard work but it definitely is worth it. I really love your puppa, he is adorable 🩵 your veg has done great 👌.
Hello from the UK Marina ☺. A good,less time consuming way, to collect your seeds, is to cut or snap the stalks and hang them upside down inside paper bags. They will eventually pop and the seeds drop into the bag and hey presto. What about breeding season for the door mice? They wouldn't have been taken away from their young would they? You're doing fantastic job by the way, and you have such good company now 🐾🐕 .. Sending love, light and Summer blessings 🐞🌻🐝🌹🦋🌼 xx
Thank you for the seed collection tip! Yes that's exactly what I am worried about (separating the young from their mums) so I am trying to get them all relocated before they give birth (which I know in the past years it was in mid August to start of September). That's why I haven't caught them last year, cause by the time I figured out a method they had already their "pups". Fingers crossed I can get them all before it happens otherwise I'll have to start all over again next year 😂
No worries Marina., you're not the only one stranded somewhere because of empty tank! 😂This happened to me more than three times😁, not bc I forgot to fill up the gas tank, but bc I always had a" better" idea of how to spend that money instead of putting it in that tank! 🤣 Mice are highly intelligent animals, I hosted one of them with the most delicious food for a month trying to catch it and threw it outside of my aptm. Eventually the mouse went away on it's own when I stopped feeding it!!! Omg, my kitchen smelled like a zoo! Great wood shed, , looks so nice and feels good to see it almost full with wood. Thanks for the lovely vid 😘🐾❣️
How I love your videos, Marina, each and every single one of them. They never fail to inspire me. The wood storage turned out really nicely. It was so interesting how you applied the Japanese method, showing the different phases, with a stunning final result! You show an endless reservoir of energy and drive in all of your pursuits. There is very little that does not stop you. Your wonderful personality shows through. What's a stranded vehicle without gas? It has happened to most of us (myself included). Vongola looks so happy, the vegetables are thriving, the flowers are gorgeous, the scenery is beautiful. 🌷❤️🌿 Thank you for sharing yet another lovely video. It was a ray of sunshine. ☀️🥰
From Sedalia, Missouri. United States of America, I think you're the best everything you talk about has purpose, interactive with followers. I think you're informative, inspiring and simply amazing I love your show, Eric Dale 😊
Hi Marina, your wood store is amazing l can just imagine how lovely it smells. My dog used to love picking raspberries and blackberries, but shes lost all interest in them these days. Thank you for sharing a wee bit of your life, you are so creative and resourceful, see you next time........Alioban ❤🐕xx
Madam, good evening from here in Washington State, USA. You are quite thoroughly accomplished with your gas chainsaw there; I am humbly impressed with your prowess with operating the same! I am an Italian American Male, again located here in Washington State, USA, thank you. You are extraordinarily intellectual and socially sophisticated; I am duly again impressed with the preceding. Wishing yourself a most pleasant weekend there in turn, and am hoping to hear from yourself there soon, N. Romanelli
Nice to see you nice to see you again with your dog hope all is well nice place where you live nice and quiet no noise of traffic and people and you do things your self stay safe and stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
Well done Marina…for lots of things in this video 😀👍…. Even though I didn’t know what those little creatures were, initially.. that you were releasing into the woods, we’re… I knew it was for a very good reason. They were adorable dormice… who also were using your roof timbers to ‘trim’ down their teeth…not so ‘adorable’!!!…So ‘relocating them’ was the sensible ( and humane thing to do…including hoping they get to meet up again 👌❤️)…As usual you had another project to deal with… the wood shed/ shelter… preparing for enough dry wood stocks for the coming winter… big job and exhausting too. All thought out and sustainable…including ‘flaming’ the shed panels to make them last longer… a very neat and effective transformation… love that you and Vongole sat back to admire the handiwork ( which he ‘supervised’ so well 👌!!… Good Boy 🐕❤️….). Never mind the slight delay caused by lack of petrol in the van’s tank…. We have all done something very similar… my car ran out of fuel on the way to the petrol station ( in my town)… and had to enlist some very kind chaps to push me the rest of the way there , with much good humoured teasing from them!!😂…(bought them choc bars from the petrol station shop.. to replace their energy levels!!)…I remember you treating that large garden table …way back in your videos…which is proof of the effective ‘flame’ technique’ 👏👏…You thoroughly deserved lounging in the hammock at the end… checking out some helpful reading matter sent by kind subscribers…Always keen to learn more and more ways to be sustainable and aware…we should never stop learning and being curious about our world 👌👌🙏….Thankyou Marina… much appreciated, once again… Sue (UK)……PS… my home grown vegetables are doing well…so much that I am going to share some of the surplus with others 😃
I had one of those vans years ago, I could never tell how much fuel was in the tank by the gauge in the end I worked it out by mileage or Kms, travelled so you are not the only one to run out of fuel, that's a lovely dress you are wearing, suits you 😊
Hey Marina, beautiful video ❤ Glad the time management app has helped to prioritise a little as we definitely all need that. I just about manage to go with the flow and somehow keep my head just above the water 😂 Have a blessed week 🙏
Evening Marina, Got to say I love the relaxing peacefulness of your videos! The music,the flowers, the scenery... just so beautiful. I remember you doing the fire treatment on the table and how sooty you got, so when i saw the flamethrower I thought she is going to be looking like toast after that LoL. But what a dynamic way to open up and make use of that space! Sure the other side will look just a great too when you can get too it. Thanks again for a great video. Health@Happiness to you both.
You could record the kilometrage numbers on a book kept in the car when you have the diesel / essence full. Their might be info about how much the maximum hold of litres is... this would be a start and eventually you would work out how much distance you can do on half a tank full etc... I rarely let my KANGOO get less than half full / empty! Love your building skills......
Another interesting and entertaining video, Marina. Thank you. I suspect that you'll suffer with all kinds of weeds in your veg garden now that you've used hay (dried grass) as a mulch - straw is the stem of arable crops (wheat/barley/etc) so doesn't have the seed problem! If you ARE going to use grass; use your own. Mow it, let it dry, gather it up, there you go!
I love your new wood storage, you’ve done such a great job. I’d be very proud of that if it were mine, particularly because it’s so neat! 😍 Blueberries are so good for dogs so I think Vongola is doing you a big favour by keeping him self well. 😬
As a single woman who loves to drive (and also drives a bunch for my self-employment), I Never let my tank get under 1/2 full. Also, living in Northern California especially during fire season …. I always want to be ready to drive off in case of fire danger!
Murning, about agenda's (seen your last video), I'm a retiree and it seems like time flies every day. That's why I'm now adding a bit of agenda in my diary to get things done instead of to much daydreaming. Still a work in progress, but hej I get more things done and that feels great. Italian Food Anecdote: when I was a kid (60 years ago) we camped 6 weeks in Italy and former Yugoslavia, and I only wanted to eat spaghetti when we went out for diner. Often with not so much ingredients it tasted the best I ever had. My mum said I was a very cheap 'customer', we ate at small family restaurants and had lots of fun.
Yes I have also ran out of fuel, luckily I wasn’t too far from home so I called my neighbour 😂, I did something far worse one day though and put diesel in my tank, cost me a fortune to get it cleaned out, I had to get towed home 🤦🏻♀️
Love all your videos, Marina! As a fellow country dweller (in Canada), you’re inspiring as always. Thank you for the podcast recommendations, I’ve added them to my list! ❤
"When you're a one-woman crew and still manage to create magic! 😊 I'm impressed by her skills and her ability to laugh at herself. Camera legs, anyone? 😅 P.s this is the same comment I posted for your 3 yrs old video "a day in remote Italy*
Great job on the storage. I love the look and simplicity of Shoshugibon. And, the pup has good taste. Blueberries are the best! They're really good for dogs too, so he's taking care of himself. Smart dog. BTW, you look great. I've always thought you are beautiful, but the exercise and stretching are really paying off. I can only imagine that it has helped you to feel better as well. You're gorgeous. Keep up the good work. Love from the States!
Marina, i figured out that my car gas tank reserve is about 8-10 km, so i quite often abuse this added bonus. I have found myself twice now out of gas, and i have no one to blame but ME! 🙄 😆 You're not alone. Beautiful wood storage. My herbs especially love wood shavings around them. So far they have lasted 4 yrs. You inspire me to do more things. ❤
I remember the poor, poor, poor Italy eating Polenta a lot of the time. Italy does have nice weather though and beautiful fruit and vegetables grow better and faster and naturally. In more northern parts of the world, we have to put up with tasteless produce.
Regarding running out of fuel,we used to have a small container ( about the size of a large water bottle or cantina and is insulated and closes tightly, not sure if you can get them in Italy) made specially for gas ,it did not last long but makes it possible to get to a gas station or a safer more convenient place to park the vehicle. Getting rid of mice is a very good idea as they can cause all kinds of diseases and or eat up anything they can. Your ability to make things amazes us every time. Your dog by the way looks like he is living his best life. ❤
Your sawbuck is a much better design than mine - I'm going to alter mine so it works as well as yours. Congratulations on your wood splitter - it was the first thing I acquired (I bartered for it) when I bought my house on an island off the coast of Maine. With wood, yes, "it never ends", nor does the work of running a homestead. Proud of you for sticking to your chosen "routine" activities - you inspire me!
I don't mean to be mean, but… ☺ I have held my driver's license since September 1989, done countless kilometres. I never ran out off fuel anywhere, even with cars and lorries with fuel gages out off order. 😌 Someone just had to do the smug looking arse about this, right? 🤭🥳 And I am not being half as sart-arsey as Vongola when he's supervising your work!!1! I would not dar to bark at you any time! ☺ Lovely vid again! 🤩🤗 If rain water supply is an issue now and then, would there be a place for a pond somewhere up the hill of your lot, by the way?
Beautiful woodshed; artful and fit for the purpose; and filled with logs to warm your hearth! I often say, “do it, like you mean it”-and you always do. (I have that same chainsaw.) Vongola such a happy, helpful companion, & after herding the wood splitter he deserved blueberries. I had a dog who ate blackberries off the vine-he was most happy with thornless ‘Chesterberries’ variety. Run-out-of-gas story: moving from Colorado to California, driving through isolated country. I noticed the prominent gas guage in the old, basic rental van had not moved one bit, needle should have moved some by then! Suddenly realized that I’d been looking at the ammeter (battery voltage monitor.) No civilization in sight. I held my breath until a lonely highway exit appeared, with nothing in the barren landscape but a tiny fuel depot made for contractors, no attendant nor store... Was lucky that it would accept a card for payment. The fuel guage I discovered to be tiny and unlabeled-but the prominent ammeter totally mimicked a typical gas guage, it too was unlabeled! (no battery icon, no ‘volts’ label, just a half crescent with analog needle indicator.).
Here I'm thinking that not only do Italians have the best cuisine anywhere but they also know exactly how much fuel is in their vehicle at all times...and Marina, you've shattered the illusion! 😆
Marina, it has been like 5 weeks since your last video! Please post more. I am having withdrawals. LOL. I really enjoy your videos. They are so peaceful and interesting. You have a unique life and I am inspired to make my life more interesting too.
this was such a relaxing video to watch - so much so that i'm watching it again. haha that wood pile is so satisfying to look at and i enjoyed hearing about the podcasts. thank you. 😊
Two pieces of advice if I dare; some better eye and clothing protection when chainsawing , secondly treat half a fuel tank as if empty . Thanks for sharing.
I would think sawdust might be iffy as bedding material : some trees have chrnicals that discourage the growth of other plants. If this works for her, though, kudos & more power to her!
What's really interesting is how old the current "Italian" language (Standard Italian) is -- not very. Very old origins and traditions, but, in current form, quite recent.
You can sho shugi ban wood, run a chainsaw, and save squirrels in one vlog. Running out of gas is a small bump in life. It makes sense with the fuel gauge not showing accurately how much gas you have. Plus gas is expensive and sometimes you have to stretch your budget. As always, I enjoy watching your vlog. Thank you.
I once stranded since i wanted to get cheap fuel and made a mistake calculating the amount i needed to get there 😂 I also did not bring my little tank, so had to buy an expensive one at the gas station, but decided to walk an extra detour, to get a cheaper one at the store 😅
Total Bad A**! The first time I’ve seen the Fire 🔥 method, excellent job.😎 I kept thinking, man I’d give ya A hand with splitting and staking all that firewood. lol. But dang You rocked it out! A rich tapestry of content packed in this short video showing i giant task undertaken! Great piece of work my friend. Answer To your general Question. I have walked a few times due to a faulty fuel gauge. Not gonna lie, there were Other times my own silliness in not paying attention Led my left and right foot to taking a hike To fetch fuel No fun 😅 Keep Kicking butt my beautiful Friend From a Foreign Land as well as on a foreign land. from: a man by default in your view stands a foreign man on a foreign land. U Rock
People must prepared for everything mostly prepared after this life because that eternal...i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life...
Lovely to see a Swedish chainsaw, makes me proud :-) If you want a practical knife, may I suggest a "Morakniv"? It will last you a lifetime, and then some.
Despite all the videos of yours I have watched, you still impress me with everything you do and accomplish.
Just to let you know. Your great. You turn your hand at everything. The world would be a better place if there was more women like you. Im an older version although not as competent as you are at 62. Bike riding, diy-er, gardener, dog lover, animal rescuer, crafter. A kindred spirit. Love the videos. Well done.
Hi Marina. I'm so impressed how everything you do is organic & environmentally friendly, from your wood preservence to your vegetable growing to catching rodents. Also loved your shout of triumph when those wooden pallets fitted exactly into the wood shed. Inspirational stuff my friend xx
Vongola popping on screen near the beginning....lol! Free wood is one of the best things, free warmness!
A satisfying wood stack & wood shed 😊
You've transformed Vongola's life, Marina, he's such a happy hound 🐶
Beautiful practical design for wood storage. Gotta compliment your new doggo. You’ve done a great job helping him to learn trust and to accept love. Thanks for such great content! 🎉
I always look forward to your videos. You leave me smiling and with a good story. Thanks for posting 👍
A lovely varied video there : ) Marina.
Some of my old motorcycles didnt have fuel guages on them. So when i filled the tank i would re set the trip on the speedo so when it got to a certain distance (130 miles or whatever you decide ) it would be time to fill up again. This may work for you and your van , hopefully.
I like the burning treatment you did on your wood store and may try it when i build an extension to my garden shed.
Best wishes from N.E England
Love your videos and your kindness towards all living beings. Thank you. Love your Reskillience suggestion for permaculture and living more in harmony with nature, off grid, self sufficient. That is the path I'm working towards.
Wonderful! I love how you transformed the space. You make it all look so easy
🙏🏼😄 great effort with the door mice❤… great work around your place and so happy to see Vongola-so happy! PS I could use one of your chopping blocks-I want to learn how to carve wooden spoons!

Thank you Jane!
Entertaining, uplifting and inspirational.....what more could I ask for ;-).
Another beautiful video. Thank you Marina 💚
Hello from the UK Marina ☺. A good,less time consuming way, to collect your seeds, is to cut or snap the stalks and hang them upside down inside paper bags. They will eventually pop and the seeds drop into the bag and hey presto. What about breeding season for the door mice? They wouldn't have been taken away from their young would they? You're doing fantastic job by the way, and you have such good company now 🐾🐕 ..
Sending love, light and Summer blessings 🐞🌻🐝🌹🦋🌼 xx

Thanks for the lovely vid 😘🐾❣️

Thank you so much for the podcast suggestions, please keep telling us what you are listening to! As always, loved the video!
How I love your videos, Marina, each and every single one of them. They never fail to inspire me. The wood storage turned out really nicely. It was so interesting how you applied the Japanese method, showing the different phases, with a stunning final result! You show an endless reservoir of energy and drive in all of your pursuits. There is very little that does not stop you. Your wonderful personality shows through. What's a stranded vehicle without gas? It has happened to most of us (myself included).

Vongola such a happy, helpful companion, & after herding the wood splitter he deserved blueberries. I had a dog who ate blackberries off the vine-he was most happy with thornless ‘Chesterberries’ variety. Run-out-of-gas story: moving from Colorado to California, driving through isolated country. I noticed the prominent gas guage in the old, basic rental van had not moved one bit, needle should have moved some by then! Suddenly realized that I’d been looking at the ammeter (battery voltage monitor.) No civilization in sight. I held my breath until a lonely highway exit appeared, with nothing in the barren landscape but a tiny fuel depot made for contractors, no attendant nor store... Was lucky that it would accept a card for payment. The fuel guage I discovered to be tiny and unlabeled-but the prominent ammeter totally mimicked a typical gas guage, it too was unlabeled! (no battery icon, no ‘volts’ label, just a half crescent with analog needle indicator.).
Here I'm thinking that not only do Italians have the best cuisine anywhere but they also know exactly how much fuel is in their vehicle at all times...and Marina, you've shattered the illusion! 😆
🤣🤣🤣
Great work on your wood shed and a pretty dress you are wearing at the end !!
You did a great job on the woodshed .
Loved this Vlog 🐾⭐️❤️🐾⭐️❤️🐾⭐️❤️🐾
The Art of Frugal Hedonism by Annie Raser-Rowland and Adam Grubb is a great read. 👍
Agreed, it's a lovely little book 👍
Can't wait to read it!
@@WildSheGoesYou already practise much of its advice but you’ll enjoy it.
Amazing woodwork Marina, as always you`r stunning and beautiful ! Thanks for sharing your new passions ❤Doggy is a trooper👍
That’s funny, I have heard about this book on German radio.
Wow your wood pile is so satisfying - you are rich! :) Another wonderful video, thanks for sharing!
Your wood shed looks great!
Thank you!
That's the spirit! Congratulations!!!
Marina, it has been like 5 weeks since your last video! Please post more. I am having withdrawals. LOL. I really enjoy your videos. They are so peaceful and interesting. You have a unique life and I am inspired to make my life more interesting too.
Great job on the wood store do like the non toxic way to preserve the wood.Lets hope they're are not homing Door mice 😂
this was such a relaxing video to watch - so much so that i'm watching it again. haha
that wood pile is so satisfying to look at and i enjoyed hearing about the podcasts. thank you. 😊
Two pieces of advice if I dare; some better eye and clothing protection when chainsawing , secondly treat half a fuel tank as if empty . Thanks for sharing.
Hi,as you said about the fuel in the van "in you're defence! You were left unsupervised "!! 😂😂
😂😂😂
Wow!
I would think sawdust might be iffy as bedding material : some trees have chrnicals that discourage the growth of other plants. If this works for her, though, kudos & more power to her!
Interesting point! We'll see how they like it
Italy is World Famous for at least one perfect little lady.
and doggy ❤
You’re amazing! Love your videos!
What's really interesting is how old the current "Italian" language (Standard Italian) is -- not very. Very old origins and traditions, but, in current form, quite recent.
Indeed!
You can sho shugi ban wood, run a chainsaw, and save squirrels in one vlog. Running out of gas is a small bump in life. It makes sense with the fuel gauge not showing accurately how much gas you have. Plus gas is expensive and sometimes you have to stretch your budget. As always, I enjoy watching your vlog. Thank you.
Just a heads up, I think wood chips lower the pH of the soil, making it more acidic - and maybe not all plants will like that...
Oh no! Hadn't thought of that! We'll see how it turns out
Beautiful and "easy" construction to make :) well done
Going by the thumbnail, i thought this was about the paris olympics opening ceremony... 🤷♂
What??
I once stranded since i wanted to get cheap fuel and made a mistake calculating the amount i needed to get there 😂 I also did not bring my little tank, so had to buy an expensive one at the gas station, but decided to walk an extra detour, to get a cheaper one at the store 😅
😂 that's definitely something I would also do!!
That's awesome! Great Job!👍🤙
Those up and down hill reasons for running out of fuel, hmm, not sure I'm buying it 😂🫢
😂😂😂
Hey!! A wonderful place and also you a🎉
Italian cuisine is so good that they import forest mushrooms and fungi from Finland
Bravo et merci
Controla el combustible con la cantidad de kilómetros que haces, genius

A rich tapestry of content packed in this short video showing i giant task undertaken! Great piece of work my friend.
Answer To your general Question. I have walked a few times due to a faulty fuel gauge. Not gonna lie, there were Other times my own silliness in not paying attention
Led my left and right foot to taking a hike
To fetch fuel

Lovely to see a Swedish chainsaw, makes me proud :-)
If you want a practical knife, may I suggest a "Morakniv"? It will last you a lifetime, and then some.
