i am 17 and i have always said that nature, craft and tradition is what humanity needs now and you have put it all in a video thank you so much.

Now that I have found it I listen to it every morning to start my day. I am 69 years old and feel you are never to old. To live life right. If only more young people could get the message and understand it. I have seen a lot in my life and hope to see a lot more.

The sneakiest ad I've ever been presented with. Filming was impeccable. I'm not even mad, in fact I wish all ads were like this.

So many years I've been watching this video and it's still the best!Art of a craftsmenship!...and inspiration for many of us.Keep continuing and thank you!👍🙂

a) congratulations b) in all my years of watching KZfaq, I've never seen a video where the "like" button wasn't adequate enough. simple awe inspiring!

Easily one of the most incredible short films ever created, even if some call it an ad to promote your guild. The cinematography is perfect. That being said I think you’ve also managed to further inspire a lot of us that feel out of place in this day and age. It makes us want to shake off the chains of our corporate jobs and trade in our pensions for this, a simpler better life. I’ve had the priviledge of knowing a handful of people that gave up everything to live this way. And every one of them is happy to the core of their being. Kings to you, and please continue to showcase this lifestyle. These videos are developing quite a following.

"So what do you guys do?" " oh we're master craftsmen" "How about that guy?" "oh, that's bob, he goes in cold water"

Some of the most beautiful film work and craftsmanship I have seen in my years, true masters of their field.

This changed my life..... I'm going to live like this.... like a man.

This is who I am, this is who I want to be. One of the Northmen.

Thank you Brothers !!

Outstanding! I am a former U.S. Marine and will be moving to Alaska where I will join the "Colonel" who is a great man and a second father to me! Soon more of my brothers and comrades will be joining us in the North...This video and John Neeman have been an inspiration to us! God bless the Northman! Semper Fidelis Cpl M.

Jacob. ."The Birth of a Wooden House"...and the old "Forest Log Cabin Building Restoration" ....and now this video....I frequently re-watch for their beauty and inspiration. God bless.

God bless Northmen and all he's crew

This is one of the best cinematic movies I have ever seen on KZfaq

I own three Neeman (Northmen) belts. the quality is superb, the finish is first rate, the fittings are flawless. I extend Northmen my very highest recommendation.

So wonderful!!! Thank you for that feeling!!! Greetings from germany

ever time I watch a new video, and the older ones, it makes me long for a simpler life. it looks so peaceful where you guys film.

I never get enough of these videos.

Holy shit this was amazing! Just stumbled across this channel and ABSOLUTELY love it so far. Can't wait to dig deeper.

wow Incredible craftsmanship, incredible beauty, stunning landscape. Thank you for taking my breath away. And congratulations

Beautiful gift for Christmas. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning!

Christ what an incredible film. It's usually very difficult to tell an effective story without dialogue and too often youtube videos like this bring nothing more than cinematography to the table, but this was genuinely very well put together. (And I damn well need one of those watches now)

Where do I sign up? Greetings from Louisiana, USA. I have to say over the last few years sitting at my desk as an 'engineer' staring at spreadsheets I have grown tired of it and have found myself wanting to do more with my hands and really create something. Sitting there 8-10 hours a day watching videos of homesteaders and craftsmen like you, I cant wait to get home and spend the last few hours of the day working on something. I have sort of become a jack of all trades. From gardening, blacksmithing, woodworking, and recently leatherworking. I hope one day soon I can leave the desk behind and do them full time. Until then I have to get by day by day and in the mean time continue learning and practicing. Seeing you guys making it while keep quality and value in what you do gives me hope that some day I can do the same. Maybe Ill one day start the Cajun Guild.

Saw this incredible vid when it first aired. After all these years, are you guys still going strong? You still there? The world, right now, needs more of your ilk.

Neeman tools your music ,videos and enthusiasm motivate me. thx

That is simply a masterpiece... Great job :D

Sighs of calmness come from deep inside me as i watched this “ad” (🤣) for the first time. i knew it was an ad from comments before i completely watched this Amazing video. Like a moth to a flame, i will ‘watch’ this videoAd over, and over again for the sheer enjoyment it gives/gave me. thank you!

A true master in every sense of the word. This takes me back to a very special place

I love this! The world needs more masterful men, like the one portrayed here!!!

Love this channel, and everything ya'll stand for. Family and your craft, taking care of your elders brothers and the land. May your harvests be bountiful on the upcoming year. May the world not deter you from your path. Also keep up the good work.

Probably the most amazing outdoor video i have seen. Brought tears to my eyes! Great job and looking forward to the Northmen!

this is the most beautiful video i've seen in my life ... good job guys !!

Amazing! Thank you for another beautifully made movie. Don't stop telling your story.

This is so amazing! Been following John Neeman for about 5 years and now this happens. Holy shit, the future looks bright after all!

You guys are what inspired me into traditional leatherwork. Thank you so much!

Exceptional vid from an exceptional collective, now guild! Yes, Congratulations on your growth and development. As working professional in the creative fields, it thrills me to see such mastery of the entire process and content of the topic. This video is a true and complete representation of the guild and its work, bravo! Here in the USA, as elsewhere, trade unions grew out of the European guilds, and within my profession, the guild system is the only practical way of carrying on this very important knowledge. It pains me that here, the unions are under such a state of attack and contraction; people must not be rendered "obsolete" by our machines and robots. Long Live The Northmen!!!

Inspiring. Love the music.

Wow! You are amazing. You are not only keeping old knowledge alive but living it.👍👍👍

Oh, this is amazing video, beautiful music, man lives alone in the wild and the best craftmens group in the world...😎💪👍❄🔥...!!!

A way of life, purpose, and contribution to ones self and homeland. On need not be a Latlander to understand this. He need only understand himself, and where he fits in the places less traveled. Skills can be learned. The will within oneself to become truly great at them... is rare.

Beyond words, thank you Jacob

best commercial ive ever seen..my birthday is next month and as long as those watches are not too expensive i will request one from the mrs

Fills my heart with love, big up!

The call of the wild - fainter as I get older, but art like this gets the blood flowing again! Excellent work.

Oh man- gorgeous! The song is really good as well :}

Revive the Guild! :-) ... love what you're doing.

Amazing! I love the northmen guild, this is truly special.

Awesome ... simply absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing, and good luck for you Northmen. May Odin be with you! Erik

Красивое видео ! Природа как у меня на Урале! 👍👍👍

God I hope this idea spreads, we need craftsmen now more than ever, I live in the US and we have become such a wasteful society, we need instant gratification, not many here pursue quality anymore and it saddens me beyond measure, Where I live in West Michigan we had some of the finest furniture makers in the world in Grand Rapids, The craftsman brought their skills from places like the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Germany and England and helped build the city as we know it.. now, there is very little left of the craftsmen, only mass producers like Herman Miller and Trendway and Hayworth, I understand the fact that The craftsman were " Earning a living" but they took pride in their work and put their names to it because they were proud if their Labors. Revive the Guilds, teach the young and preserve the knowledge, before it is lost to the ages..

I use to watch your videos, I have some saved on my little old iPod, man I’ve been trying to find the KZfaq channel for the past two years thank goodness I came across it.

Krasny video, krasna priroda, mate to skvele. Bravo!

Great job for into ! I was getting ready for the rest of the movie.

the beauty in this is indescribable

I am addicted to this video. it is exactly how i see myself in the coming years

I wish I lived in the North, you guys are amazing! I'm in Adelaide, South Australia which today (Christmas day) will be the hottest Christmas day here since 1945, over 40°C

I've always been amazed by the quality og your videos. Awesome cinemtography, great filming and music, and also a great way to showcase your products and the process of making them

Last of the real men. I hope these few endure somehow.

Amazing. Like something out of a Jeremiah Johnson film set in the Baltic realms... The Bear guy really is hardcore!

the production value in being a youtube hero... everything is brand new not a scuff not a scrape. good job of not getting too many shots of your tracks in and pre shoot.

Thank you.

прям фильм маленький. приятно смотреть. с душой всё

Quaility of life right there. Super inspirational. My roots speak to me through this.

очень красиво и приятно без слов. жду с не терпением ваших видео.

Finest Axes I ever owned are John Neeman! I guess I need a Northmen now;)

Inspiring! My friend watched this and now he plans to go up north to learn how to do these things!

I have no words, you guys are awesome!

crazy, crazy skill, value and pride, you put the manufacturing machine to shame

Awesome video! Wim hoff " cold is healing

I want to live like that!

love the color grading and mood of your videos. so beautiful

"When the ships were made of wood, men were made of steel." We gonna get a crafted boat made from all the different members?

I'm a 30 year old Dane, had a hard time figuring out where I was supposed to be and what to become in this world. My calling is the wild. Nature in all it's simplicity and complexity. I need to live in the wild, gather, hunt or farm my own food and build what I need. My only issue is, however many items I have gathered and bought second hand, I will be lonely. Aside from being a hermit type of man, I need company now and then. It's the only real reason why I haven't picked up my stuff and ventured out. This might be a marketing video, but it made my mind race. Thoughts of how I will live out my days and those I would share them with. I loved this.. Now I need to find me a master craftsman to teach me woodworking in all the proper ways.

Probably the best ad I´ve ever seen.

Completely Breathtaking!

This calms the soul. Many young men, including me, stuck in to the every day life of the big city and dreams to be part of natural, calm, healthy life in nature and doing things that in our DNA, like craft, hunting and hiking.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful video!

Beautiful work

Congratulations and also well done on another amazing video, breathtaking. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great work, Gentlemen. Very well done! Some of those shots remind me of places here in Alaska, and I can relate to waking up in the morning and having to start a warming fire first thing. Excellent!

Awesome. Merry Christmas.

Jacob makes The tools, Jacob makes the videos. I'd like to see a video about this Jacob. This was a beautiful film 🎥

You guys never fail to impress.

this is more than an "ad", this is a masterpiece.

Excellent piece of art(as an commercial). Watching you building your own home, recognizing the skills and the determination that it takes to bring everything to an end, to get it done and finished in superior quality, makes me belive that your "Northmen - Brand" should become extremely succsessful. And even more important(to me at least), very trustworthy. Well done!

I feel every particle of my existence yearn to be better each moment more than the last after watching this film. I can be sure I am not alone feeling this.

"Our Father and Mother who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy names. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." I literally thought this as I watched this video........ This is what must done to restore humans, to restore our precious garden.

Simply admirable.

it is beautiful! Video, sound, all! Good job, thanks you!

Es hermoso, tengo la piel de gallina!

man, I've never seen the snow, I can't even imagine how cold is there

This was both inspirational and emotional. Fantastic job. I seldom up vote commercials, but this was something else. Hats off.

i'm just going to say AMAZING

If this was a show, I'd watch the crap out of it! Man, how I wish there was something like this airing..

Damn I Miss Algonquin Park ... 2 weeks in the summer is never enough ...

this is incredible

If you put this much effort into making an ad you deserve my business

IT IS ABSOLUTELY TIME!!!! AND - - - - - - - THANK GOD!! I wasn't sure I could hold on much longer!! XOXO Again - tears for gut-wrenching authenticity of what human nature looks and feels like. This *is* the direction HOME!
