Martijn's videos are the ONLY ones that I will click "like" on before watching in entirety LOL. I truly needed this fix this morning.

I’m a retired widow from California, you must say why she’s watching me? I like your life , you are a special human being , I envy your solitude , your walks in the mountains and the divine views from the top . The clouds , the waterfall etc, so different and beautiful. Keep on the good work with your cabin and may be in the future you can add a pet , cat or dog , unless you bring a girl, that will be fun. Happy 2025 Martin !!!🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

When you are standing on the rocks, looking out at the fog, you appear so insignificant with the majesty of the mountain range and the sea fog. Just a tiny speck amongst the power of nature. Wow!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the quality of your productions….stunning! Thank you
@davidkorn6721
The shot composition and cinematography week after week after friggin' week is just astounding.
@deborahilyia1125
Thank you for not talking through your videos. I appreciate it so much that I can just see how productive an individual can be ALONE. I am alone and you inspire me. I am 72 years old. Thank you!

Another breathtakingly beautiful episode. What we viewers are witnessing here is not just a guy who is living a lifestyle like in the good old analog days. Martijn‘s videos are like signposts for humanity, a proof that it’s possible to make changes in life in order to live more in harmony with nature and in the present moment, without the dysfunctional concept of modern life where we think we should and can control everything, while still being part of modern society. His videos contain ancient wisdom, something desperately needed in our increasingly insane world. Thank you, Martijn, for contributing to a more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

Where to start; the typical commenters dilemma on the Martijn Doolaard channel ~ so much beauty; especially loved your meandering above the sea of fog. Watching the fog move and undulate is a great reminder of how alive the world truly is. I can’t imagine what it’s like to live among such powerful energies. The view from the window behind the roof of the woodpile, another bit of beauty, and your painting and cooking, your imagination and creativity. Holy cow, Martijn, holy cow. I’m so grateful I get to witness your journey. Thank you! 🙏🏻💃🏻🌟💖

It is better to chock or block the wheels rather than leaving the brakes engaged or the vehicle in gear, especially when leaving a 1970s Land Rover Series II outdoors over winter. Here’s why: 1. Hand Brake Rust: The hand brake mechanisms, particularly on older vehicles like the Series II, are susceptible to rust and seizing if left engaged for extended periods in damp or cold conditions. 2. Clutch Plate Fusing: Leaving the vehicle in gear puts pressure on the clutch plate and flywheel. Over time, condensation and rust can cause them to fuse together, which can be difficult and expensive to resolve. 3. Weather Protection: Even if the vehicle is covered, outdoor conditions like moisture, snow, and temperature fluctuations can accelerate corrosion on brakes and clutch components. Recommendations: • Chock the Wheels: Use sturdy wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from moving. This eliminates the need to rely on the hand brake or leaving it in gear. • Cover Effectively: Use a high-quality, breathable cover designed for outdoor vehicle storage to protect the vehicle from moisture and debris while allowing condensation to escape. • Rust Prevention: Consider applying a rust inhibitor or grease to exposed metal parts, including brake components, to reduce the chance of corrosion. • Periodic Checks: If possible, start the vehicle and move it slightly every few weeks to keep components free and prevent seizing. Taking these precautions will help protect your Land Rover and minimize issues when you want to use it again.

If a wood store can be classed as lovely, this is it 😊
@seandutta6408
This week Martin, you've given us a video poem, as lovely as a long, lingering kiss ... I know I will watch the clip of your hike many times over.
@dap4052
Martijn the scenic production of your hike to the top of the mountain overlooking the clouds was stunning. I’ve been watching you for quite some time, and enjoy being entertained by all of your great talents. I escape into peacefulness every Sunday with you.

From your expert film making to the evolution of the property, you generously bring us into your world with style. I imagine the time and effort in filming and editing is equal to the labor on your land. By now,those who have been following you ,have a pretty good idea of how skilled you are at many things from your artistry to craftsmanship in building and design. It is always a pleasure to watch .

Hello! I am a 76 yo female living in New York, USA. Here we use cedar shingles for roofing and siding. As it pertains to roofing, our shingles do shed water, but they also are meant to absorb; therefore, horizontally they are applied approximately a pencil width apart from each other, to allow space for them to swell. Additionally, they are applied to a skip sheathing to allow air to flow underneath, so they dry and don't rot...although today I believe there's a membrane that can go under them if you are applying to solid decking. The nails were traditionally copper, but I believe you can use stainless steel, as well. No matter the width of the shingles, never more than two nails per shingle...never staples, because of the swelling and drying action.😊
