Life in The Cold North Of Sweden

Episode one hundred and thirty one, in which we are taking a bath in the ice and removing snow with the tractor

This is a vlog about our struggles and joys of living off the grid in the forests of Jämtland, Sweden.

Do you have some questions?

With the amount of subscribers you have, I would think one of the big tractor companies would reach out to you to sponsor you with a new tractor. It would be a win win for both- you and the tractor company

I do not mind at all that your videos are "all over the place".... it does not seem so to me. You must have done a very good job editing. I always enjoy your videos. A lovely blend of lifestyle and beautiful photography. Thank you.

The longer you have the tractor the more comfortable you will be in diagnosing and repairing. The Key is to talk sweet to it and give it a pat and tell her she is a good girl, , Tractors have feelings!!

A second video from a special gift for starting off this new year! As always, the words "Thank you" never express my gratitude well enough! Much love from Teri in Michigan.

Your PTO lever will not engage - the clutch has to be adjusted. Find an old owners manual to see how. On the snowblower, it probably has a slip/friction clutch. If so, tighten up the 5-6 nuts, to increase the friction. Thank you for your great channel! Bill

Oh my Ivar is such a contented, obviously thriving and adorable little boy. How time flies. Loved the ice bathing and sauna. You two sitting outside on the sauna deck enjoying your time together was just delightful to see. Love your tenacity regarding the tractor. I really hope a farming equipment company will step up and offer you something new. You deserve that.

fave part is when you translate Ivor's words for insight into a Little's mind 💖

My Sweetheart and I love you guys and send you good will from New Mexico, USA. As per the tractor....One of our favorite you-tubers has an old Massey-Ferguson. He lives in Minnesota where it is very cold in the winter as it is at your home. The name of his channel is "Northern Seclusion." If you could contact him perhaps he could help you with your old Massey. Another one of our faves is an owner of an old Massey. He lives in Canada. The name of his channel is "The Outsider." I hope one of them will be willing to help you. I had a Ford tractor and that was so long ago I don't think I'd be any help. You have a tractor that is highly prized by many folks, and I hope you can get it running smoothly.

Love you sitting on the sauna porch looking so content 😍

I'm freezing watching you take your dips in that ice water. Good for you, I know it healthy. I hope you are enjoying your lives the way you're living. I would never be able to do it. Of course, I'm 75 now but it seems to be such a hard way to live. But you son will have such great memories of his life going up there. I was so happy to see you had a part 2 to the video, I thought we would have to wait another month. Thank you so much for doing them. I hope you get the tractor working soon. It must be hard to find parts for it because it's older. Stay well and safe.❤

Ivar is such a delightful boy! I have lots of shoveling to do at my home, and have refused to get a snowblower because I am not mechanical in the least. Thank you for this video. You've been very busy, as usual...best wishes to you!

[j.pappas]

Iver is a very smart little boy :) He is a credit to you both.

[sylviesimard]

You were making me very nervous out on the ice cutting your square😬

This snowy landscape is very beautiful to see, but difficult to live with!
Ivar will be a great skier, he already shows skills and apparently likes snow a lot! Thanks for sharing another video ❤🥰👏
