The circle of life IS beautiful. Ivar is very Blessed to live in the forest... He's learning more from nature to sustain his life. You and both wonderful parents. You need to be proud of yourselves. God has and continues to Bless y'all!!!! Much love from the USA.

    My dad was a butcher and made all his own cold cuts and sausages. I remember him telling me that you need to massage the sausage as it goes into the casing to force out excess air. He either boiled them or smoked them, depending on the kind of sausage it was and before he would smoke the sausage he would poke a hole here and there with a thick needle which would allow air to escape. Smoking also greatly speeds up the drying process so it won't have to hang so long. He had a tall smoker and used shavings and wood dust from Birch and some other hardwoods. I hope this helps.

    • @76keva
      @76keva Год назад +10

      My grandad was not a butcher but every winter butchered a few pigs when i was a child. He did the same - massage and poking. He let me do the poking, i loved it. He smoked the sausage. When he got older, butchering stopped but he bought meat to make the sausage. I remember when we had the last piece after he passed..

    Love how this channel shows old Scandinavian traditions and appreciation for family which I remember from my childhood. It takes me and many others back to a simpler time. Pursuit of adventure etc when I was very young took me to far away places. Seeing this makes me want to visit Sweden/Sverige and perhaps Finland one more time.

    I was moved and at the same time amazed to see the way your child well behaved! So lovely to see his astonishment in the shops where so many things were displayed...and yet he didn't ask for anything, no fuss, just pleased to observe! He is a real treasure, one of the kind!
    I loved to see him riding those toys in the streets but particularly sweet was to see him carrying his fire brigade truck all around! Just one toy did make his day.
    You, your parents and Ivar are so wonderful people!!! Hugs from Italy to you all and the viewers.

That in this world we live in now is a blessing for him. I'm from America, a small town in Kansas. How I wish we had those beautiful shops like you have over there. Ivar is just a few...ish months older than my first and only grandson so love watching his progress as I'm far from him. Love all you do. How you live. How wonderful your hearts are.

    My grand child is almost the same age and she is our family treasure. I feel so fortunate to have her and her family in our lives and I know they appreciate having us in theirs. We are also blessed with harmony when all sides of the family get together. Have a happy Christmas and I wish you and your families peace and good health for 2023.

    In South Africa we have a similar sausage, but mostly made with beef and/or venison. Raw, they are called Boerewors, made with spices like coriander, cloves, pepper, salt (Directly translated as Farmers Sausage). Dried they are called Droëwors (Dry wors), altough it is made thinner and dried out a lot more. We dry our meat (biltong, which is also mostly made from beef or venison, spiced with simar spices, vinegar, sugar, etc
    We have biltong Dryers, enclosed to protect from insects, ventilated to assist with drying. A lot of concepts for these dryers are available on the net.

I'm amazed at how well Ivar behaved inside of the stores! In America, a lot of toddlers run around, screaming, breaking things...so it was a delight to watch your little man just looking at all the wonderful sights and sounds. It's great that you expose Ivar to different environments.

    It was so lovely seeing you with your families and that Ivar got to spend time with them. Such a special time together! As a Nanny myself I know I value spending time with all my grandchildren when I can. Unfortunately 3 of them live in another state. Here in Australia it's a 3 day drive just to get there 😪 We still try when we can to see them and of course Facetime all the time! Nothing is more important in life than the relationships with our loved ones ❤

    Thank you again for such a heart warming moment into your lives and heart! At this time of year I am feeling the miles that are between our family and the grandchildren that I do not see very often. And I feel ..not needed at times. But we are needed and important! We have lived and can offer wisdom and support to our children(adult) and our grandchildren and fill in the gaps that busy parents may forget! Thanks again for sharing your life with this Grandma for Oregon!

    Thanks for posting and sharing. Ivar seemed to take the whole trip to town in stride. I thought he would be completely overwhelmed seeing all the goods in the shops. So glad for you all that your parents were able to visit your home and spend time with their grandchild.

    I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. Seeing Ivar interact with his grandparents was wonderful. I am a grandfather too and I have 12 grandchildren ranging in age from 2-21, but all my kids live relatively far away and we don't get to see them more than a few times a year, even less during Covid. Seeing Ivar slowly grow up in front of me is just very nice, Thank you! Videos which show a lot of human interaction give your viewers more chances to feel connected. Key to increasing your viewership in my opinion.

    What a beautiful video! The lights in the town, Ivar enjoying it all and the sauna! Jumping in that cold cold creek. Tasty food and hanging out outdoors with a fire, food and family!
    Thank you!

    Perhaps the best moment of the video, and certainly the nicest and warmest moment of the video is when family is inside and around the table for the meal. I wish that every person could experience such a moment for the Christmas holidays. Thank you for sharing your family and your times.

    Thank you for another heartwarming and beautiful video. I am so thrilled when I see you posted a new one. Loved the shout out to us grandparents, it was much appreciated. I don’t believe Ivar could be any more adorable. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Until the next one…..

    Merry Christmas dear family, I love watching your videos. Our life is so different in my country. We are in summer now, in our country it never snows, we don’t know what a dressing room is, or have a cold bath in the river. Love to dear Ivar, so beautiful! Anabel from Uruguay, South America.

    Beautiful Ivar! All the wonders of a new environment and he wants is a long wagon for his train. Precious little mind. You may have to build him a wagon. Grandparents are the most important part of family! I miss mine and think of them everyday! Thank you always for sharing your amazing journeys! You are blessed! Happy Christmas to you and your families! ❤🥰

    My five year old loved this episode. He has been watching since he was a baby and he loves you’re channel and he especially loves watching ivar! We are American so when he saw the Yule goat he very enthusiastically reacted “what’s that!?!?” I was very amused by ivar not skipping a beat about the wagons for the trains, his reaction wasn’t ‘what’s that’, it was “hey, do you have wagons for my trains, I’m trying to find wagons for my trains!” He’s very focused on trying to find accessories for his toy and it’s adorable! A long wagon train is extremely important for little ivar! I look forward to your Christmas videos every year! They do not disappoint. Ivar seems to speak so comprehensively for a 2 year old! Way ahead of his years! Such a bright and wonderful child! He is so precious holding his toy as he walks through the city!
