10 days Solo Backpacking Norway, Femundsmarka NP Pt1, Grand Scandinavian Hiking Tour Ep2

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Can you spot the tiny reindeer kid? This is the video for the 10 day Femundsmarka NP and Rogen backpacking trip in Norway and Sweden, the first real backpacking video from the 25 episode "Grand Scandinavian Hiking & Backpacking Tour 2021". I am so excited to finally show the world this amazing summer of backpacking. I had a couple of herds of reindeer visit in my camp and they started fighting over food right by my tent…quite the experience! An epic 10 day trip and the start of the best summer of my life!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

You're very welcome!

Hey Jarl…looking good man! Some of us been waiting and it’s here. And the opening song…my favorite…it’s the right music for the mood of the mountain 🏔

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much Stealthman!

[@butchlewis2136]

Jarl, our viewing begins and how awesome these are going to be. Reading some of the previous comments, of which I dont normally do, I am blown away by the mutual amazement of your work, efforts and commitments to make these trips available for us to watch. We, your subscribers, are in "AWE". Just Loving it man!! Thank you!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Butch, enjoy the viewing:-)

[@reginebilliet2679]

Stony fields, green meadows, rustling creeks, clouded blue skies, a multitude of lakes in which the scenery is reflected, hills and mountains, trees and grasses.... The kingdom of the reindeer .... I mainly enjoyed the quietness and peacefulness of this unspoilt nature. An exquisite and colourful 'Overture' of your "Scandinavian Symphony". I've great expectations about the next parts ! Thank you, Jarl ! And from here, in Flanders, I wish you many beautiful mornings and surprizing encounters on your trips in your magnificent homeland.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Regine!

Jarl, thanks so much for showing us the landscape of your beautiful homeland. Most of us won't get that far. Another of your sweeping majestic videos.

I'm sorry it took me so long to find these, Jarl but I'm looking forward to viewing every episode. Incredible beauty around every bend.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks Rick, this was a really great summer!

[@maryjbelle]

Another spectacular film. Really enjoying seeing the Norwegian terrain. The tent, the reindeer, the fishing 🎣 the beauty all captured on film. Thank you!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much for watching, there will be a lot more from Scandinavia the following months!

[@robinowen3058]

Hauntingly beautiful views! You’ve definitely put Norway on my bucket list. Thanks so much for the videos!

[@huginmunin4827]

That's a fantastic adventure! Thanks for sharing, I didn't know such beautiful place exist. I wish Iwas there too.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It is easy to access from Elgå or Synnervika

[@joywalsh6012]

After reading all the comments, all I can say is that I agree with everything said! It's a fabulous video, very enjoyable to watch!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Joy!

[@andreasritter5955]

What a bummer that the fish didn’t bite…but the vibrant colors, caging landscape and the fantastic camp sites must have been a mild compensation for that miss! …and luckily your trails haven’t been like the JMT…you wouldn’t have enjoyed and traded in the dry and hot conditions of this summer! Excited to the next episode!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Andreas, I am not much of a fisherman lol!

Found you via your videos of the JMT. Norway has always been in the back of my mind...just gorgeous! Thanks for the videos!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank you and welcome!

[@canoeinginthewild]

Love you tour, I take area 4 times, can't stop, but you inspirer me to explorer Norway even more

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

[@ralfhedin]

Absolutely fabolous video! Breathtaking views and a lot of know-how for us wannabehikers. Tnx a million!

Thank you Ralf, much appreciated!

I like to see the area from the hills, muggsjøen & struggsjøen, is nice

[@tmc1492]

I love your videos, especially the winter ones. Watching yours and other videos has made me want to take backpacking trips this year here in Montana, USA. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@shredhiker6209]

Love the footage of the reindeer!

Thank you, it was an epic moment!

[@shredhiker6209]

@@NorwegianXplorer when they were first walking right toward your tent; that had to be something special to experience.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

@@shredhiker6209 Yeah, it was also a peaceful sunset and it was indeed my first real meeting with reindeer out in nature, so I was pretty stoked

[@FragileExperiment]

Absolutely stunning views with perfect soundscapes & commentary, I wish I could be there. Between your & Joey's videos, I just watch one after the other none stop. Great work Jarl!!! Please keep them coming. Be safe.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much, there will be one each week for the next few months:-)

[@wohlhabendermanager]

Amazing. Will be in Femundsmarka on Saturday, and will start my 5 day hiking trip on Sunday. Don't have that much experience hiking yet, so I will stick to the marked paths, it will still be an adventure for sure. :D

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Have fun!

[@remiteach2542]

bardzo fajny film i bardzo fajne widoki

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you

[@westcoastislander6699]

Absolutely glorious! Have finally managed to sit down and start watching this wonderful series. Cinematography beautiful as usual. Reminds us a lot of British Columbia (Canada), but juuuust a little bit different. Thank you for this shining series of trips to keep us through the start of winter. 10 days of food? Ugh!!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much for coming along!!

[@cooper2k4]

Great work! Thank you for the insights into Femundsmarka. That's now on top of my destination wishlist. You could cut the chapters "Reindeer through camp" and "Reindeer in the sunset" a bit more ;-) as the morning recordings are even better.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you

[@mastercontrol200]

Sublime beauty!

[@Fellmandave1]

Looked superb, puts my one night adventures in perspective, enoyable as they are. Thank you for sharing the mindreleasing landscape.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, one night adventures are cool too, but its really disconnecting in a good way to be out longer:-)

[@JensSöderblom]

Tack för en vacker och intressant film! Kul att få se området på den norska sidan. Jag har varit en hel del kring Grövelsjön och Rogen, men alldeles för lite (ser jag) inne i Norge. Får bli ändring på det! Och trist med fisken, när linan gick av, såg riktigt fin ut!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Det var en fin fisk ja:-) det blir nok flere turer på meg også inn i Sverige neste sommer.

[@TimIrvin]

That was OUTSTANDING! I saw 1 billion ways to twist your ankle. That looked difficult but beautiful. Do the deer have natural predators there? Aren't there wolves?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Tim, lots of ancle twisters indeed! There are bears and wolves, but very very few, they have been hunted to near extinction in Norway

[@bodilvigre]

Fantastisk, eg lengter allerede til neste episode👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastiske filmer 😊 Musikken er noe spesiell.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Takk for det!

[@jenspetersen672]

Thanks for another great video - Femundsmarka is now on my pucket list. Is this an official trail? Or is that just you walking random around? BR Jens

[@NorwegianXplorer]

This was mostly off trail, but there are marked trails as well

[@paularuotsalainen979]

Aldrig varit i Femundsmarka, och därför tittade med speciellt intresse. Tusen tack för denna mycket vackra och imponerande video, Jarl. Krävande terräng, med de alla miljarder stenar. Här i Finland har vi liknande områden. Var det en gädda som tog ditt bete?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Jeg tror ikke det var en gjedde, er ingen ekspert på fisk:-)

[@mesquitoful]

Herregud. I was thinking of going to Norway next summer, but do I really want a bunch of impertinent reindeer all up in my face?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Haha, they are very calming actually:-)
