3 Day SOLO BIKE TRIP and WILD CAMPING in SWEDEN

[@johngeronimo8172]

Love it! I could watch you explore Sweden 24/7. Thanks

[@NatashaBergen]

Thanks John 😍

[@hakanhansson7878]

Nice vlog. FYI, the barking at night could very well be a deer. They can at times sound just like a dog. The most dangerous animal we have in the archipelago is the tick. It actually seek you up, but all the other ‘dangerous’ animals usually avoid you - snakes, foxes, badgers, moose. Safe travels, keep up the good work.

[@NatashaBergen]

I’m just floored by this! I feel like a bad Canadian that I didn’t know deers could sound like that 😂 I guess I learn something new every day! Thank you 😁

[@sylvieolah4177]

That was so cool! It must feel like freedom to be able to camp anywhere by yourself! Good job once again Tash!

[@NatashaBergen]

Truly!! I kept thinking ‘oh I’m going to get in trouble’ 😂😅

[@antheaxe7340]

yes it is very cool thing and i fell blesst and luck that we have that but with great freedom comes great resposebility no litering lev the place like it look like befor you came check the weather if you want camp fire so it is not dry and you will start forest fire don´t thing every one think of this but as one that grov up with it is importent to me to so this tradition can liv on and get the respekt it deserves. i think one or 2 of them maybe are in in constitution but thay all should be added to the constitosion sorry i ranted bit but see some folk seem think this is free for all and take advantage of it that is why and iam passiont about too keep it becuse it is so greate

We just found your channel and we're SO excited! My daughter and I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Sweden! My great-grandfather comes from there (I wish I knew which part). Love you vids and can't wait to watch them all! 🤍

[@NatashaBergen]

Awe that’s awesome!! I hope you can make it there one day, it would be nice to connect to your roots I’m sure 😁💛

[@CryptoRoast_0]

Camping across scandinavia is one of the most fulfilling things anyone can do ✌ very jealous, counting down the days to come back!

[@NatashaBergen]

Amazing! I hope it's soon for you!! 🤩

[@maxviking3210]

”Oh deer.. what is that barking in the middle of the night?” :) It looked like it was a nice trip and a good time here. Welcome back and looking forward to more vlogs 🇸🇪

[@NatashaBergen]

Haha I'm told it was a deer or a fox perhaps 😂 It was lovely! I always feel at home in Sweden :) Thank you!

[@nissconcert7265]

I really love your vlogs, they're so relaxing and takes me away from the reality when I need it!

[@NatashaBergen]

Thanks so much! Definitely more to come - and soon ;)

[@w2best]

How long are you staying in Sweden this time around? :) It feels like you caught some of the last summer weather!! I'm sure this bark was a deer. I grew up in the countryside and used to fall asleep and wake up to those a lot. :) Amazing drone shots too!

[@NatashaBergen]

Hej hej! I was there for three weeks just at the tail end of summer 😁 so you’re right I got lucky with the weather! I really didn’t know that could be a deer 😂 No way! I feel like such a goof 😜

[@mikaelsjoberg5024]

I also think it was a Deere. They really sound like a dogs barking

[@Boomforce]

You should invest in a flashlight in case things go south. Also there's bears, wolf and lynx in the middle portion of Sweden aswell .. so yeah be careful!

[@zoom5024]

Well she wasnt in the "middle part of Sweden" She was in Stockholm and on top of that on the archepelagos so there is no animals out there.

[@Boomforce]

@@zoom5024 She was in the "middle part of Sweden" if you count the population living there. Noone considers Gävle as the middle portion. No animals? There's literally a deer in the video.

[@zoom5024]

[@chalphon4907]

Nice! A good reminder of the warm green day's! :) Have a good week!

[@NatashaBergen]

Thanks Sina! Yes, it’s crazy how fast summer left - it’s even left Barcelona now 😂

[@klasandersson7522]

And at 24:53 you have what I would guess is the source of the barking you heard the night before, a roedeer! They are oh so noicy when you are out and about in regions where there are meadows and fields around, and their calling is very much like a dogs barking! Nice vlog, hope to see you back here again soon! 😊 Greetings from an old scout in Mälardalen (Region of sweden)

[@NatashaBergen]

Nice to meet you Klas! 😁 I’m so glad it wasn’t a boar 😅

[@pyaari_entertainment]

Thanks for giving this wonderful place

[@NatashaBergen]

Glad you enjoyed Aromal :)

[@VagabondTurtle]

IT is very fun, and actually seems like a great area to bike around, never did Vaxholm and the northern archipelago, I did the southern part... but based on this, well worth doing it. I am just a little confused why you are pushing your bike up in the forest when there was obvious clearing there :D Anyways, your choice your vlog, and it was funny for sure. Good to know also, you don't have to avoid so much setting up on places that seems like private property, in the wilderness allemansrätt applies, meaning that for 24 hours you can set up a camp anywhere, unless is the literal garden of a house, or dangerous, or in direct disturbance to people or nature. You just need to make sure you clean up the place, so you leave it as you found it. Also, you dont need to lock the bike out in the forest, the rural parts in Sweden are quite safe to start with :)

[@chalphon4907]

Welcome to the Stockholm archipelago! We don't have any wolfs or bears. The only large predator we do have in the archipelago is lynx but they are very shy, and they definately don't bark. Greetings from a few islands to the south of where you were.

[@NatashaBergen]

Thank you for the lovely message!! I hope you’re staying warm on the islands right now ☺️☺️ (I’d love to see a lynx - maybe next time 😁)

[@chalphon4907]

@@NatashaBergen Yeah they don't like to be seen but my neighbour who works with wildlife preservation has found tracks not that long ago :)

(Följande är ett försök till ett skämt.) Ah, skåningarna, the flat earthers of Sweden. (Skåne is flat... soo... flat earthers live there... no?) However much I like, share and care for the sentiment of Ulf Lundell, I prefere a little more undulation in the landscape.

The trick to swimming in cold water is to submerge quickly and then actually stay in it because the body gets used to it quickly. Your last name "Bergen" is translated to "The Mountains" in Swedish. Anyway, thank you for your good vibes.

[@NatashaBergen]

That must be why I love the mountains so much! ☺️ I didn’t know it was the same in Swedish (my grandparents came from Germany 😁) - very cool!

[@bodan1196]

May I suggest that you try the following: submerge quickly, get out quckly, then wait for a minute or so (no towel) before going back in. I have found that the second time you enter the water, is by far not as shocking as the first. This is my personal experience, so not a rule.

[@bodan1196]

@@NatashaBergen :-) (See my comment on Jon Wingård's comment.)

[@andersjohansson4734]

Canadian so here's some french... kind of "Skär" kind of like "chère", ok good enough, and -gården, the same word as the English garden but the letter "å" is pronounced pretty much exactly like "eau". So "Chère geaurden" I guess. :)

[@NatashaBergen]

😅😂 I legitimately tried to learn Swedish before going this time and pronunciation and hearing/remembering all the different sounds is the hardest 😅

[@andersjohansson4734]

@@NatashaBergen Haha, yes good luck with that. Come back when you can do this "Sju sjösjuka sjömän på skeppet Shanghai sköljde sju skjortor i sjön", fast 3 times. Most Swedes fail so I guess you are welcome anyway. 😁

Those ants looked like "Piss ants". Official names are Red Ants and Etter Ants though. But piss ants can bite and it stings :P

[@NatashaBergen]

Oh my 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂 I’m so glad I got outta there!

[@andersjohansson4734]

@@NatashaBergen No, no, those ants are Formica rufa, red wood ant or southern wood ant according to Wikipedia. They are maybe not pleasant to get in your bed, but fairly harmless in all, unless maybe you have an allergy. The all read ones with no black head or tail, almost slightly see through, you don't want them in your bed, trust me. They belong to the Myrmica family, again thanks Wikipedia. They are surely no bullet ants, but it still hurts, a lot!

[@bodan1196]

Something you (N) said made me think of the swedish national anthem. It begins with the words "Du gamla, du fria". Direct translation is "You old, you free". Now, you are not by any consideration old, and I suspect that you are one of those people that will remain young even past a hundredth birthday, there was just something that allowed me a comfortable assumption that you share the same appreciation and yerning(?) as the author of that line. 🙂

[@NatashaBergen]

I would say you assumed right 😁 I like that line, it’s poetic. Can I also guess you share that feeling? ☺️

[@bodan1196]

@Natasha Bergen Oh, yes. Though, as how I have allowed my life to become, it's not obvious and could be questioned along with my intelligence and mental health ;-) (Sitting at home alone too much) Having been "born free" (...Elsa?) where any leash is a personal choice, and not permanetly binding, the thought of not having the possiblilty of the freedom which you are (were) currently experiencing... no, I care not to contemplate. But there is a frase/saying, which must be heeded for this freedom to function and even to exist: Frihet Under Ansvar, ie Freedom Under Responsibility. The freedom-to-roam is built on that saying. Go where you please, but be responsible enough to not damage, destroy or disturb. One aspect of this, tells you that "freedom" is a consequence of responsibility. Freedom is thus not an unquestionable right, but something that we together grow and nurture. Again, thank you for sharing some of your life with the world. You make it a better one for many.

[@NatashaBergen]

@@bodan1196 wow that’s an amazing thought process for you to have shared, thank you! I couldn’t agree more, I’ve had this chat with a few people along those lines where ‘my freedom ends where yours begin’ - so it’s exactly that - responsibility with freedom. Wow so deep for a Monday! 😉 Thanks for sharing 😁
