Hej Hans, first time with open canoe in the sea and it's a all new world opening to me... And it's very local.. I just bought myself a real solo canoe, very short and very light I love it, everything is easier, carrying, strong winds etc... It was camo originally which doesn't hurt my feelings at all.. Next time you pass Gothenburg have a stop in town aswell and we can paddle in the islands...if the weather is ok..

Thank you mate, yes you can camp anywhere one night in Sweden as long as your not in someone garden or a military field...

Thank you mate!

Don't know why I waited so long to paddle here , I am so amazed by the beauty and the proximity of this when living here in Göteborg... What a luxury we have here.. Thanks for passing by.. Are you paddling too sometimes?

Thank you Lucjan!

Great to hear that, have fun camping

Yes exactly that, a F1, that's my favorite knife, it's rather ugly but the knife is about at perfection with everything else...

Merci

Hey Jack you can contact me on the Bushcraft Sweden Facebook group otherwise it's fine here..

Thanks buddy, hope you get some good outdoor time this winter... And i could see you have already... Keep going, take care

Merry Christmas to you Jürgen

Merry Christmas to you Cleo, thanks for stopping by

Nice, lots of water in that area, a lot more possibilities... thanks for passing by Sergiy

Thanks a lot Mark

Actually just rewatched your vid of the first time in Svarte dalen few days ago and got inspired to put together some images from this summer.. still have a trip canoeing with some friends a little more north to put together... I agree totally with high season not for us.. on the top of that a lot of people usually travelling abroad on charters were stocked in Sweden this year. It's both good and bad i think... For us we have to go deeper in the forest .. would love ro meet you next summer maybe on your way to Norway maybe? If you wanna stop for few days at my place you are very welcome... That big lake is 300m from home ;) you could stay a bit there is some other nice lakes too very close so you know.. take care my friend

Hej it's a lake 35 min driving west of Gothenburg, there is 100 of these around and many more islands.. take your kayak in Sweden some day..

@@BushcraftSweden I really must do that some day.. what would be a good point to start a week long kayak trek? I've been looking at 'bolmen' and 'ansen' lakes. That is not too far away by car..

It was a very nice summer this year, hope winter will be as good too

Thank you Martin

Thanks a lot mate

Thank you John

Should be, it's just hard to be spontant with work and kids and half winter weather..

@@BushcraftSweden completely understandable! 👍

Thank you very much

Great to hear that, tell me how it's going with your knife, gonna be interesting to hear about it

Thank you! Saw your fights too, really good mate!

Good to hear from you my friend, hope you are doing good, any paddling in Norway planned this year?

Nice to hear, thank you for your nice words, take care

Thank you, Its a flimsy not very well design stove that I pimped with Ikea fork holder :) it became usable..

Yes thank you, it was a very magic moment since this little female seemed interested to meet :) And turned around us for a while until she was under the wind and probably didnt like what she could smell..

@@BushcraftSweden Pretty cool how she completely circled you.

Thank you Yuri!

Thanks a lot, it is said there is more moose than inhabitants in Sweden, not sure how accurate it is but it gives you an idea :)

@@BushcraftSweden Holy Smokes, that is fantastic! I would love to be there, even if it was just to scout and observe some of them. Do you hunt them, just curious, we do here where I live, but it is a Lottery system to be drawn for a Permit. Thank you for the info!!

@@TwelvePointTroutOutdoors Yes we do and its aswell a necessity because there is not enough wolves to keep the numbers stables and they are too many, hunters need to take quiet a few every years to do that job instead..

@@BushcraftSweden Interesting, thank you for sharing. Makes for some good eating, fills the freezer, and helps maintain a healthier herd at the same time. Win Win. Curious if the wolves are hunted as well?

@@TwelvePointTroutOutdoors Yes the wolves are also hunted and it still a debate every year how much we should take, thing is there is now more wolves in France than in Sweden.. about 500/ 600 if iam not mistaking which is not that much for the size of the forests here...

Same nature Brother, boreal Forest..

@@BushcraftSweden northern nature indeed looks alike, my friend...

Thank you Yuri I ll return the favour, thank you..

@@BushcraftSweden my pleasure! Swedish nature is do amazing!

@@solitudeinthewild82 Boreal Forest, same taiga, Alaska...

Thanks a lot, I appreciate from a snow connoisseur! Need to uptdate for 2021 ;)

Exactly, the only time I use a bushcraft knife will be when doing fire in a box, and then splitting take sens and the small size make it safer with a knife I think, otherwise doing real fire I dont need any splitting at all and so I just need the saw..Thanks for stopping by Alex, take care
