Thanks a lot for all the nice words and support. And also for some of you who made donations. It’s really appreciated. Great to have you all here at the end of the day. I’m back in the tent tonight and lighting up the stove again. All good. See you next week. Martijn
Glad that the new tent arrived this fast! Having a good night of sleep in your own bed hopefully restores your probably sore muscles. Best wishes from Hamburg!
Great to hear! Already looking forward to next week's video!
Martijn, you have the absolute best neighbor in Johannes. Your stoicism does not belie your passion for your mission. You, truly, seem to be a great person. Thank you. ~an Oklahoman
Just be careful, the weather is crazy, it changes sometimes without warnings. Have a good sleep.
Martijn, you're in my prayers.
Everyone needs a friend like Johannes.
The power of a friend who prays ❤
The power of a friend who prays ❤
Everyone has such a friend. You just have to ask for help. If you dare.
My first thought
it is normal in villages, people help each other
Johannes is SUCH a good hearted friend - a real blessing in your life up there. Now you know for certain why the local building vernacular is stone - your houses, your roofs, your benches & your stone table were unmoved by the storm.....and still the birds sing at the first opportunity
This video brought me to tears. The visual of Johannes in the wind trying to save the camp…he came to check on his friend and care for his neighbour. Just the most beautiful image of humanity. I am so glad to see your camp is being rebuilt in the next video. I am glad you are safe.
After such devastation, this video simply demonstrates how stoic and resilient you are. No outrage or highly charged anger or sadness. Just straight back to the rebuild. You are an inspiration.
To complain is always non-acceptance of 'what is' - Eckhart Tolle. There's no point in getting upset about things you can't control.
@@TickleMeElmo. I love this quote!
Well said and I completely agree.
@@Harry1s this video made me realise that I don’t always handle or receive adversity well. Something for me to work on for sure.
Or at least he did not video and post those parts
“I have Grappa, beer, fresh prosciutto, you know, I’m fine.” Resilience at it’s finest.
With devastation all around you, you assess and know you are okay.
You teach us how to roll with the punches with grace. Gratitude
So true! Martijn shows us how to step back and assess the situation, then methodically restore that which can be repaired and replace what can’t, as well as making improvements along the way.
Great lesson for life! 💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💯💯💯
My grandparents told me about the hard life in the Italian Alps, which led them to emigrate here in Brazil, thanks Martin because you are also telling their story
@Jalloul Khaled you need to report it.
Maybe emigrating to Brazil is a good idea
Why not re-emigrate?
So many beautiful North-Italian towns desolate or withering away.
But now also people reviving those villages, renovating the houses.
Sure, our grandparents or parents have lots of stories. I guess my father emigrated from Japan because hi wanted. However my mother had to because her elder brother that was disinherited by getting married with an undesirable girl (probably from poor family) needed a third adult person to emigrate. Eles vieram antes de WWII? Os imigrantes italianos, alemãs e japaneses viveram tempos difíceis durante a guerra. Abraços
LOL, if life in the Italian alps was hard they could move to a lot of places nearby. Probably something they are not telling you. 🤣🥸
What a legend Johannes is, everyone of us needs someone like him in our life, it's a blessing!
When you drove into camp, during the storm, and Johannes was there holding onto your solar panels my heart swelled with emotion. What a selfless act of friendship he displayed.
Friendships like that are everything.
Yes, I am secretly enamored with Johannes. (not secret any more...)
Johannes is a fairy god father. Showing up just in the nick of time.
Johannes is a GOOD man.
@@ldg2655 An absolute angel in every way. These 2 men are what puts humanity and humility into perspective.
Resilience in the face of adversity speaks volumes. The grappa, beer, and prosciutto moment was a powerful reminder that if we can allow what is given to be enough we can survive almost anything. Thanks for the reminder Martijn.
And when he said “I’m fine” I thought “no you’re not but you’re going to work through it” because he’s determined. It’s a setback but he’ll get through it.
@@habracken8004 That was the moment that struck me in the entire video, Hollywood movies can only aspire to that raw emotion with such economy. It certainly is an example that there is much more drama with reality than fiction. My heart hurt for Martijn at that moment but admiration soared.
“if we can allow what is given to be enough we can survive almost anything” …thank you William, I’ll take that for today💕
Well said
Your wisdom is spot on...and a reminder for me to keep going despite any setbacks. Thank you for a wise reminder what an "over comer" must possess to overcome adversities. 💌
Martjin is THE man: camp in ruins, storm around him, and he still enjoys his beer. now, that's a stoic behaviour. be strong and safe buddy, we love you
As I saw the devastation, I was like I wish I were there to help him, and as I was watching, I was praying and at the same time looking to see if Johannes was there…thank you Johannes for helping Martijn 🙏🙌
I keep reminding myself that every camera shot was you stopping in the middle of that crisis to move a camera. As people say here you are not only resilient but detailed and thoughtful in your response to calamity.
Martijn I appreciate how you took everything in stride and set about recovering the camp without complaint. All the best.
How do you do this? This chipping in of some money. I thought of it too!
It suddenly became clear why everyone on that mountain built their huts of stone, even the roofs! That storm was intense! I wonder how often they occur up there? Glad to see you sorting things out and the kindness of Johannes in helping you rebuild. It's nice to know your neighbours have your back like that. Also, how incredible of that tent company to replace your tent for you? Amazing service. So glad things are already settling back to normal, but this time, with reinforcements on the structures. Also, very glad that no one was hurt in that storm.
Maybe he should learn a lesson from those who lived there for centuries.
Thick stone huts, covered by thick stone roofs, and move to the valley during the midst of winter.
When I first started travelling in these higher elevation locations, I was struck by the fact that all the older structures were made of stone. It didn't make sense until I experienced a gale at these altitudes. The winds were astonishingly violent. My car was getting pushed off the road. I had to find a sheltered area to wait out the storm. The heavy stone shingles now make perfect sense to me.
I wonder what will happen with the chickens in winter or duringa storma like that one
How often? Today the wind was even harder in the plains around Turin.
I wonder how was in his valley...
@@dutchman7623 exactly..... why build feeble wooden outdoor kitchen when existing buildings are hurricane proof..... for a reason abviously
I cried when I saw all his work, effort and dreams devastated but I cried even more when he said "I'll just enjoy the beer" followed by simply bringing it all back to normal but stronger. I've seen it as a pure manifestation of a man in his power.
You're making this world better, Martijn.
God bless You! 🌟
Your acceptance of the Mother Nature’s powerful storm is why we are inspired. Your calm and your ‘let’s just get things sorted and rebuilt’ attitude is why your channel makes us all thankful. Huge kudos to Johannes for being a true , reliable friend!
Martijn, I think Mother Nature wants you inside your cabin next winter. Cold, windy, dark and dangerous. Those nights used to be very interesting. Stay warm and safe. You have the tenacity to continue forward. Just keep rocking!
I was thinking same kind of thing....but worse. There is a reason why, since ages, the farmers were not there in wintertime. Only left some stone structure there, to come back in spring time. .
or perhaps just a caravan like other adults would do..
and not a hippie/kid camp that cant stand a bit of wind
if i put my stuff outside in a tent or a shed that cant stand a bit of huricane, most of it would also end up next door some day thanks to the wind...🤭
i doubt this is the first storm in the place he lives.
@@Wouter_asia well they where not there in winter because their cattle didnt have anything to eat, since he isnt a farmer he can stay over winter in the cabbin, its not that it is too dangerous, just didnt made sense for the cattle farmers
@@Wouter_asia not really, that storm of that intensity is not normal, it is probably due to the too high temperatures that they had in the last week.
weather is completely changed, 30 years a go they had 3 meters of snow up there, lasting until april and stabilizing the earth temps.
Wow, that puts new meaning into spring cleaning, you must get into one cabin ASAP, you can always put your little tent outside if you want to sleep there, so that you can move it fast if needed. So sorry Martijn, it was awful to watch it. I hope you won't be too discouraged, on positive it's always a learning curve. If I was younger I would have loved to help you. 😊 Keep going you have a dear friend near you.
For all the damages and problems this caused, I see a silver lining. Living in a place like this, you can really appreciate the community, friendship and the fact that everyone helps each other. Next time it's Johannes thst needs your help. I really want that in life. We've become too fixated on ourselves that we can't even sacrifice some of our time to help our neighbors. But this video shows otherwise. Glad to see you're safe man.
I live in Romania, very near the Carpathien mountains. Things like this are very normal for people who live here. I was wondering for how long you will be able to pull this off. I also thought weather must be really nice in the Alps in Italy for allowing you to have an outdoor kitchen and things built up in the open like that. Usually out here people build strong houses for everything. (main house, barns, summer kitchen, etc) Be strong, you will rebuild everything, this gives you the chance to rebuilt stronger and better.
And, I thought I'd had a bad week. I just ran out of superlatives to describe Martijn's tenacity and resilience. I feel a mixture of admiration and inspiration.
Well, at least the mirror wasn't broken, so no 7 years of bad luck :-)
I admire your calm attitude in the face of any hardship, and yet, you know when to give up and take a breather, which is why you went to Turin in the first place.
Thank you so much for sharing and for inspiring so many people!
Oh yes! Thank goodness Martijn wasnt there at the time. I have memories of a stormy camping trip where I was made to sit in a car while the men stood for hours in lashing wind and rain holding on to our big canvas tarpaulin to stop it from flying away down the mountain!
How uplifting to see you Martijn, after hauling your things into the cabin and you say.. “I’m fine.” (10:57) ❤️
My first thoughts were how solid the stone buildings are. The original builders knew what the mountains could do. Living in the mountains and embracing all the different kinds of weather shows how the previous inhabitants chose to survive all odds. Simple stone buildings that don't break up under the tremendous force of the winds. And so Martijn we all are encouraged by your strength and determination moving ahead and how incredible it is to have a neighbour as determined to help you save what he could. You both have a lot of heart and grit.
One of the most amazing things to me is that of the 88,000 views of this video, I think every person commented with good wishes. What a way to bring a community together. Probably not good for all 88,001 of us to show up to help you, but that many prayers and good wishes will surely be heard and answered. (I do wish I could come help though.) 😊 Thank you Martijn, for sharing the good, bad and ugly with us.
Hey Wendy, I'm jealous. I been claimed my spot for Martin....😅😅If only he knew we were wanting to come and help him. Have a great week.😀
If he just got on with making the house habitable and spent less time painting and filming himself, he wouldn't in this situation
@@bigajoo I guess some of us could spend less time watching RUclips videos
Mother nature in full force - I can't even begin to imagine how your heart must have sunk seeing those stormy clouds over the mountains while driving up. Then so amazing to see how the two stone cabins built hundred years ago remained untouched, solid. There was a reason they were built the way they were. Great job putting things back in place!
When you know, tell us what you need. Courage and faith in your own abilities… and Johannes x
I am so very proud of you. You are the most , calm determined , accepting, hardworking man I have ever seen.
Sorry to see this happen to you but you are lucky to have a friend like Johannes :)
In these times its good to have a friend like Johannes around. Good luck building all up again.
One would think Martin could rid us of these telegrams that hope we open them up so our information can be stole. You do know they're not from Martin?
Hey Martijn. We are devastated for you to see this terrible news. We would like to buy you a beer/hot meal/new materials/something to cheer you up. We know you will learn from this experience and build back bigger and stronger. Keep the faith buddy. Thank you so much for bringing your joys and life into ours. Best wishes and warm pats on the back.
@@omenrum9629 excellent idea wind generator
@@omenrum9629 he cant build in light material in nederland where he is from either 🤭
sometimes nederland also gets plenty of wind to take down a hippie/kids camp like that
im not sure what part of the world a setup like that would last a year
I would like to buy Martjin a hot meal and bottle of wine too, how do i do that, did you do it via support/donation link? Thanks!
@@tanyatrotter590 up at the top there's a "support/donations" button, underneath the # of views.
@@tanyatrotter590 I wouldn't say he's precisely short of money haha
Hang in there! We're all rooting for you!
I'm guessing the homes were built from stone, because of such devastating storms!!! What a mess that storm made. The weather there is serious!!
I'm glad that you and Johannes were not hurt! What an AMAZING friend Johannes is!!
Wow What an epic episode and typical of you, you remain calm, unruffled and just get on with it, no bitching and drama just serene acceptance and pick up and carry on. This is what your channel is to so many people. a model of hard work and serenity in all conditions
The part with the beer starting at 08:30 was so full of emotions!
Yep, no whining! Just pick up, (literally) & carry on.
I’m so sorry for what has happened to you. Hope this helps a little, sending love from Scotland x
Just discovered your videos a short time ago and watch every week! My favorite. And I want to invest in what I consider my favorite channel. All the best to you Martin. So sorry for the shock of it, but glad you were not there when the debris was flying.
Johannes is an absolute tank!
So sorry to see your camp like this. Wishing you all the strength and motivation to make it even better. Much love and light. 🙏💜
Where's that😢
@@Sanieh01 en el versante sur de los Alpes o sea en Italia
There’s a reason people who lived in these Mountains, built their homes out of stones; they don’t blow away. Johannes is a very good friend and neighbour.
weird to see that americans living in hurricane land do not yet seem to have learned this lesson tbh
I said it once before and I’ll say it again-you are a remarkable man Martijn Doolaard! Your spirit is uncrushable even in the face of such devastation. You just get on with the job at hand. To you, everything is a learning experience and a teaching moment for the rest of us. You are an inspiration, as is Johannes. You are blessed with the best of neighbours there, for sure. As peace returns to your mountain, may you prosper in your rebuilding.
Oh, Martijn, it was soul-destroying to see the damage and destruction to the home you have worked so hard to create. I can scarcely imagine how devastating it was for you. But the way you tackled the repair and rebuild was a stunning display of a can-do attitude. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Can’t wait to see the next episode!
Saw your title at 6:00 AM my time on my iPad and decided I need to see this episode on a big screen.
You did an amazing amount of work in just one week. I must say your perseverance in the face of adversity is truly impressive.
The video of the clouds swooping up the valley and engulfing your place….breathtaking.
Those stone roofs sure make a lot of sense in the mountains.
Glad you’re over the worst of it.
PS I was thinking that you may need to build a stone house and roof inside the run for your chickens.
What a blow to the face, literally. So happy you puzzled back things together and I look forward to the next video! Get yourself some wine and keep being an inspiration!
Martijn - All the best, Tracy
Thanks! A little help, at least for one or two more Grappas 😁 Greetings from Austria to you and Johannes 😉
Wow. I gasped out loud when I got the notification for this and saw the thumbnail. I'm absolutely devastated for you, Martijn. No doubt your steely resolve will pull you through!
The shot of you pulling a beer out of the up-turned fridge and throwing the lid into the wreck was both hilarious, and really sad. Perfectly encapsulates the mood I think. Thanks for filming through all the difficulties you face!
Oh Martijn so sorry to see how much damage the storm did but you are truly the definition of resilience. And it's wonderful to have such a great friend like Johannes to give you that support and encouragement. Stay strong my friend.
I’m so sorry this happened. I’m so relieved both you and Johannes are safe.
Love your videos! I wanted to show some gratitude and help out a little.
Whow simply whow! No wonder they built the old cabins so solidly from stone to withstand the fierce storms. Strength to you Martijn. And much resilience.❤
There's a very good reason the farmers have only used these cabins in the summer.
@@marypaddey4625 mi hai levato le parole di bocca.....
@@marypaddey4625Yeah but still inefficient to rebuild the huts every summer.
@@marypaddey4625 not true , in that mountains there where farmers living at even higher altitudes with, in some exceptional years , 5 /6 meters of snow.
that storm is the result of the climate change, is much more hot then before and not much snow ,so the heat down in the valleys where the snow is already gone can create such storms when the hot air rapidly going up ,meet the cold air higher.
@@fabriziocremonini6797 there's nothing new in heavy, sometimes even stormy winds and severe unexpected weather conditions in high mountain areas.
Thank you so much for filming this week. Amongst all the chaos, you still shared your time. Very much appreciated and a true sign of the remarkable man you are. All the best from here in Australia to you in the majestic Italian Alps ❤⭐
Seeing you standing in the midst of that chaos reminds me of a colony of ants that never stop building their anthill no matter how they get destroyed. You have also a great rescue soul in Johannes - a true friend in need and a living testimony of the Biblical verse (John 15:12-13) ❤
Gutted to see the camp in ruins. Well done for cracking on Martijn! Here's to the rebuild!
This series has been a huge support over the past year and a half, I can't wait to see the progress on the rebuild and stay strong!
Amazing how you maintain your calm in the storm. You remind me of my grandfather, who was born in 1893. In the 1960's he built a home, garage, and workshop on a desert property in northwest Arizona. There was only electricity, he hauled his water. He used only redwood lumber, and hammered every nail by hand, by himself. He was a carpenter, a minister, and was a calm soul. The house, though unoccupied, still stands.
I was sickened to see the preview shot of the disaster at your mountain top property, but delighted to see how quickly you were able to set things straight again. You're an inspiration for sure, Martijn!
I’m so sorry for the storm, Martinijn, a bit of a setback but you, of course, handled it well. Things will be safer, stronger now. The important thing is all was fixed and replaced with no one hurt.
Thank god your all ok and no one is hurt things can be replaced😢
You find true friendship in times of distress. Johannes is a generous and caring man and a supportive friend to help when you need an extra pair of hands. It was distressing seeing your property damaged and in disarray but your hardy and determined spirit just picks itself up and get on with sorting through the damage. Hope the tent arrives and look forward to the next video. Take care Martijn and stay safe ❤
You have such an inspirational spirit.
Camp site will be back soon, stronger and better than ever. As will you.
Thank you for all of your time and efforts.
Johannes, thank you for your testimony and friendship with Martjin. It is so refreshing to see such character in today's times. Blessings.
I cried out in pain when I saw the opening shot of your storm affected camp. But watching your resilience to just get in there and start repairing it all. That is inspiring. Keep being you.
I cried when I first saw the devastation to your home. Then, here you were, Martijn, with your acceptance of Mother Nature and your "can do" attitude. It inspires me to keep on going despite the obstacles in my own life. I love how you take things in stride, going from task to task, always focusing on the power and beauty of Nature and your incredible work ethic. I look forward to every one of your videos and always come away feeling inspired and motivated. I love you Marijin and the much needed JOY you bring to my life. May you continue your filming, your artwork, and just being you for many years to come. I'll be here watching you.
Sharon, I feel as you do. It’s hard to find words to express my feelings. Martijn is inspirational for me, too. I love his attitude and his calm demeanor.
Wow! Incredible recovery, with help from Johannes! Amazing grace! Thank You!❤
We had a hurricane (Fiona) in the fall. We had a lot of damage to our home and property also. Still trying to repair things. My husband and I have been watching and totally understand that initial moment of feeling so devastated. Then you dust yourself off and get to work. I am so sorry this happened to you but I so appreciate your resilience. Well done! Unfortunately... we, as humans, get occassional reminders of how small we really are.
Every project has its setbacks, glad to see you're still going strong! All the best, thanks for your videos.
Retrieving and cracking open a beer from a fridge that's been blown onto its side at 7:30 is a vibe that I am very much here for.
I'm 4 minutes in to this video and tears are rolling down my cheeks, this is heartbreaking to watch..... so thankful for Johannes, the best neighbour in the world!
Martijn, I only just found your channel. I watched the three hour video yesterday and was thoroughly captivated throughout its entirety. Today, I searched for you and found the most recent "Driving home in the storm" video. As I watched you deal with the setback, I felt great empathy for your situation. I wish you well in your endeavor. I really want to say that my grandmother cooked palacsinta for me as a child and it looked just like what you cooked for your lunch, a very thin pancake like food that was rolled up, just like you rolled yours up. I remembered pronouncing it like plachinta. She was born in 1898 in Austria-Hungary and came to the United States between the two great wars. Sadly, she passed in 1984. Your simple lunch has resurrected many wonderful memories. For that, I am grateful. Thank you
Oh! Martijn, I am so sorry for this. But thank you once again for your example of solution-oriented calm. You are a joy!
You're one of the first commenters! Probably why nobody is here yet 😁
Il ne te montre pas les moments où il a pleure, ou il a crie.... le bonheur selon you tube
I’m so sorry ! But you will have it back together in no time
j ai l impression qu'il est tres honnete dans ses partages de ses experiences, sa determination son endurance tant physique que mentale sonts a mon avis exeptionelles, si il a verse plus que 2 larmes ca m'etonnerais. pas grand monde sur youtube s'imagine que c est le bonheur.
Beaucoup trop de travail
I think every one of us are hurting for you and want to help so badly. I am truly inspired by your determination. Johannes is an incredible friend who shows and lives his faith through his actions and without a word. I know one day when you are settled, you will be the guy helping out a new neighbor who is just getting started.
I have no words!
I'm so sorry this happened. Goodness. 😢
Johannes is a gem, God bless you both.
Such a shame that the damage is quite severe, but you are keeping your head up and dealing with everything calmly! Dank je wel for your unbelievably valuable content, it really helps to deal with emotions in a such uncertain time.
Such a shame, really feel for you. I know you will make it all better.
If there is anyone designed to withstand this kick in the pants, its you, Martijn. The Mountain gives a reminder about who's boss. This is a learning experience; a teachable moment.
It's amazing that even it seems that you are more isolated than in an urban life, you are actually more surrounded by people with great heart.
It was a drama, but it's nice to see that you fight with honor.
Lessons learned. You will move ahead stronger and wiser. Thank you for your inspiring attitudes.
For your new tend. I'm following since the first video. You are a true insipiration, a person I would like to be. Don't give up.
Wow... savaging storm. A real test of a man's resilience. You passed with flying colors, Martijn.
I Love that time of year when it is bug free, and just Beautiful too, when the the snow has melted, the smell of the earth, birds singing again 30° F feels like a warm Spring day
What is so clear about this video is your inestimable strength and resilience in the wake of unforeseen events. You epitomise calm, even when these inevitable setbacks occur. No big song and dance, no dramatising, just get on with it in that stoic manner which is good leadership. I really admire this quality, Martijn. And then to film and edit it so expertly as well.
I had to laugh when you revealed your bed on the now-open deck: carefully pulling the bedcover over it, two bedside tables positioned as if it were a photoshoot for a designer mountain glamping spot! You just can’t help yourself with that innately cool aesthetic! Great vlog, and thank you for sharing each step of your life with us.
Yep. Mother Nature always bats last. She did a number on the mountain but nothing you can’t handle in your homestead. Ever minute of this weeks video was uplifting, watching you put things back together. What a story you have to tell for years now. Being a cinematographer at the same time is simply extraordinary. Bravo. You are loved and admired by so many people who have the joy of watching your life. You add extra soul to my life soup. ❤
In difficult and harsh times, you discover the right friendships and acquaintances
Bedankt! Mooi Martijn. Wat een goed en aanmoedigend voorbeeld van jou, dat je als mens zo nu en dan door een storm heen moet, zoals ook met zeilen ook het geval kan zijn, het vergt kracht en doorzettingsvermogen, maar als het je dan lukt, dan is de beloning, qua gevoel, groot.
Now you know why they built rock houses with rock roofs. We get winds like that to,build strong. So sorry for the damages Brother.
Sorry Martin. Unfortunately storms like this are quite normal around here, especially in the adjacent valley (Val di Susa). However, this time winds of up to 198 km/h were recorded at the Sacra di San Michele weather station, and here too there was a lot of damage.
I experienced a few of these storms last year in Feb/Mar, but not as strong as this one. It's usually invigorating, the warm wind coming up the mountain. Not this time.
@@MartijnDoolaard ♥️
I was wondering all this time how such outdoor facilities, even under normal circumstances, could survive intact and for how long, realistically. It is a defining moment to make things more permanent under a roof and stone walls.
Thank you Paulo for providing those details. Good to know how powerful those winds were to destroy Martijn’s camp….and for Martijn to meet them with equal tenacity!
I'm just relieved that you and Johannes are well. We lived through destructive storms in Piemonte but this was extreme. Be well and you will take care of everything. Setbacks are hard but tutto andrà bene.
❤Glad your safe , God Bless❤
Your patience, perseverance and calm demeanor is so impressive. I’m sorry for all your damage. Your gratitude for Mother Nature is incredible, I probably would have had a few choice words and some tears. Glad you are ok.
life is beautiful, we are constantly fighting with mother nature. The old kitchen will be replaced by a new better one and the experience will only make you stronger 💪🙂👍
I guess now we know why those old homes were made from stones. Hope the best!
It always brings me a sense of calm in viewing your videos. It’s a refreshing change from all the other subjects available. You really are inspiring and amazing. Just old fashioned core values, hard work, resilience and positivity despite adversity. Thank You Martijn…
When I saw what the wind did to your home my heart dropped. But you are so resilient, didn’t even hesitate and got to work right away. This is so refreshing to see.
I live on a mountain, surrounded by forest, and nothing scares me like the wind. I hope you are able to repair and fix everything
I was deeply affected on your behalf when I saw the condition of your camp/home. You showed your fortitude when you set about salvaging and repairing everything. What a guy you are, God bless you😊
I am sorry your lovely home was savaged by the storm. My heart sank to my feet with the first view of your camp. You have the strength and resilience of youth on your side, and a blessing in your neighbor Johannes. I am relieved to read your new tent is up and you are in it. Thank you for sharing with us the good and the bad, the joyful moments, and the disheartening ones as well. I wish I could afford to send you more than positive vibes. May you continue safely from strength to strength.
You have rebuild it better and stronger i've already seen it. :)
Loving your videos.
A hug from Portugal.
I am impressed with your determination to go on even in this situation of so much destruction, Also, the tent company is to be commended for being kind enough to send you a new tent. To them, I say, "thank you."
Wat een rottige tegenslag Martijn. Maar ik ben onder de indruk van hoe stoïcijns je het aanneemt en niet alleen meteen herbouwt maar ook nog steeds net zo van je omgeving kan genieten. Veel mensen zouden daar een voorbeeld aan kunnen nemen 😊
Ok, maar we moeten het niet overdrijven natuurlijk. Wat Martijn doet is volslagen normaal voor normale mensen. Iedereen krijgt het wel eens voor zijn kiezen. En dan drink je een biertje. Big deal.
Wat ik speciaal vind, is de creatieve manier waarop hij dit presenteert alsof je er zelf bij bent. Waar we naar kijken is een manipulatie met beeld, geluid, persoon, ratio en gevoel, dat men wel kunst noemt.
@@hardyvonwinterstein5445 Ik denk dat dat erg verschilt van persoon tot persoon. Ik zou het zelf inderdaad op dezelfde manier aanpakken, maar veel van de mensen die ik ken zouden eerst bevangen worden door emoties, paniek en beklaging als hun huis en keuken instortte. Niet iedereen heeft het vermogen om meteen doelgericht aan te pakken, is enkel het punt. En het is niet erg als ze dat nog moeten leren.
You have such a calming voice. I am just so happy you weren't in your tent when this happened. You are without the hardest worker I have ever seen. You keep working no matter how the weather is. See you next week.
The Power and Beauty of Tenacity!❤👏👏
May your days be many and your Journey be filled with such Joy!
