Yes it was a beautiful place. I will for sure go to the same place soon.

It's so quiet and peaceful.. Gränsfors Bruk and Hultafors classic is great hatchets. Gränsfors Bruk is more like a cutting tool while the Hultafors classic series is better for chopping wood. I...

The best from both US and Sweden :-) I also have the smaller Outdoor hatchet but I think that the Wildlife hatchet is perfect in size.

it was about time :-)

Yes, it was a while ago I had the opportunity to get away a few days.

Thanks!

At last we got some snow in the south of Sweden (in the northern part there is a lot). I am more or less addicted to winter, cold and snow and managed to take a few day of work and went for a four...

No experimenting here either...I have learnt that lesson the hard way :-) The Chantrelles I found is not the best one. There are a few others. The best one is the funnel cantilever..it's brownish...

Forgot one thing....let me know if you are visiting Sweden. I can show you some secret chanterelle spots :-)

They could be tricky to find and there are some toxic mushrooms that are almost identical. I am happy that was not the case for you :-) But, did you like them? I love to fry them with pepper, butter,...

If I only knew how :-)

More or less all land in Sweden is public according to "right of public access". We have some restriction in our national parks and other protected areas but otherwise you are more or less free to...

I think I was lucky..it is almost pure resin. It was a small piece from a old, big and dead pine. The remaining tree will last forever. I have marked it on my gps :-)

Mushrooms could be pretty bad...

Yes. I found a real treasure. It will last for a long time. Fat Wood is my go to tinder during winter/autumn. It works works like charm even if it is moist or wet.

It's a almost scary how quiet it is in a dense forest..It's like a whole new world when you are used to a home with a lot of children :-)

The wife was traveling away with the newborn for the weekend. That translate to free time for dad to find good hanging spots for the upcoming winter trips and the possibility to stock up some fat...

Sharing knowledge with other is a good way to learn new things. But as you say..the more you learn the more you realize that you in fact know nothing. There is always a miljon new things to learn. I...

I saw that you have started to learn "bushcraft"... I have been teaching survival, bushcraft and different ways of living in the forest for many years . If you have any questions you are more than...

Thanks! I am a tree lover and this one is one of my favorites. Same forest but a different tripp. I had been walking for day in the rain and suddenly I found two old oaks. One was living (not in the...

Thanks! But I do not know if my trip snaps if qualified for that kind of stuff. It's more some kind of documentation for me and the family..We try to keep photos from our activities so that we have...

Thanks! To long since I got some time alone. During the summer it has been a lot of tent camping and outdoor events. The time left has been with our newborn.

The most beautiful knife was the Bark...

It's a magic place with small hills and valleys covered with moss and trees. A long time ago , thousand of years, a lake and sand dunes created the landscape.

Yeah..the best medicine..

Thanks! But it's not me...it's the the nice spot/forest :-)

Thanks! That's one my favorite spots. During summer it's nice to walk around barefoot..it's like walking on soft cotton :-)

A new baby, work, bushcraft trips with friend and tent camping with the middle one has made it impossible to get some free time alone with my dear hammock. At halloween I managed to get a way for a...

Magic place :-)

It's very cold during winter but quite humid during summer..but the last 10 year the weather has changed a lot and now days it is only cold during one or two month..We have a few woods left that are...

Thanks!

Thanks :-)

Thanks. I was a real surprise for me as well.

Yes. It was a nice easter egg :-)

It began with a Easter hunt and ended up with a new favorite place to hang. This year I decided to surprise my son with a real egg hunt in the woods and went away to hide some stuff .To my surprise I...

As usually Grate videos! Can't imagine how it is to be away and fight in a conflict area. Veterans are heroes in many ways.

I really like that kind of flora..Thanks for sharing!!

I noticed that someone was using a NatureHike Hammock. I am planning to buy one to my son but can't find any reviews. Do you know anything...

Nice video...hmmm..Ribs, Steak and Bacon. That's real food!

So true..for us boys anyway :-)

Thanks!

No not at all and I almost always do so. I clean, dry and check all the gear after each trip and repack everything (not food, down and camera gear). This time I had been on (don't kill me) a week...

Maybe a double post/answer..But the forum user kardinal_emilus do not use the side loops..he sometimes uses a prussic connected to the ridgline/ suspension in cold weather . I couldn't find his...

Ok..I also have a Osprey (EXOS 38). On the other hand..I have switch to a mirrorless camera (I use a fuji XT-2 or XT-1) and only use one or two simple lenses (23 and/or 35 mm lens) . The rest of the...

The size depends on which model it is.. I have the thickest models (most down) Selva 600 and Taiga 480 in Large and they are bigger than a nalgene bottle. I think you can buy a third party bag and...

Hi once more... I tested the quilt on the ground yesterday. I am about 180 cm, 85kg, an quite wide over the shoulders and it will be hard to sleep on the ground and on your side...The quilts is wider...

I have some same ("native" swedish people) friends so I lived with them and took a break from work. But then I was younger I more or less spend all my free time fishing or camping in that area. I...

Please PM me...so that I do not forget to send you the measurements and pictures..

Yeah..the felling of anger and embarrassment is well known :-) I can't understand why I never learn..and on top of all. I often tell my young scouts that they have to check their gear twice and/or...

Of course I can take some measurements and pictures for you..give me a day or two ( I am away with work right now).

Cumulus is on the other hand really easy to talk to...and I am sure that they...

Agree..the best thing of being old (not always but often) is that you have the means to buy some of the cool things you always wanted to play with :-)
