Hi folks!
My name is Gustav and this channel will document my life as I build my own homestead.

This video is a short tour of parts of the plot. 

I have acquired a piece of forest land where I will build a house, a workshop and a permaculture based food forest. The land is 9.700 square meters (2.5 acres) and is sitting on a south-facing slope. It is situated some 250 meters above sea level. The nature of the plot and the surrounding area is typical boreal forest. There is a lot of pine and birch, some spruce, oak, aspen, and a few others trees and shrubs. There is a lot of marsh land around, so this is a quite wet climate. Luckily the plot is on a slope of solid rock, with no dangers of floods or sliding earth. It is generally a very safe place to be.
