A Rainy Night In The Lavvu - Island Canoe Wild Camp in Norway

Finally I got to go wild camping with the dogs! It was a rainy night, but we were warm and dry in the lavvu. Norway is beautiful in the autumn, by the way.

The main advantage of having your campfire inside your tent, the rain doesn't put it out! 🔥⛺️🌧😄

[@Robbie7441]

That looked amazing bjorn, the fire the rain , everyone safe and warm , so peaceful ❤👍🏻

[@david2284180]

The dogs look so cute in their pajamas ❤️

[@RM-bl4td]

Thank you Bjorn for sharing this moment of peace. These moments are so rare anymore that they have become truly special

[@mamachar1]

Thanks for taking us along, Bjorn.

[@denisehal53]

Your dogs are so cute 😍 when you were leaving the island, that shot of sleepy Elvis ❤️

[@BjornOutdoors]

I know. He used to be uneasy in the canoe, but now he lies down and takes a nap.

[@Woodswalker1965]

The dogs are doing so well in the canoe! I love that lavvu almost as much as your dog's outfits,they are very lucky to be so well cared for. Take care👊

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you for saying that. Stay well over there, my friend!

[@cherylsingleton33]

I love my Bjorn.

[@NanOfTwo]

How wonderful that you can just find an island and camp on it. That's freedom!

[@scottengh1175]

1970s rock band called "Three Dog Night." Name came from Australian indigenous people. One dog in tent was for cool night. 2 dog for cooler. 3 dog in tent for cold night. Wonderful overnighter, lavvu and bacon.

[@varvarapapadopoulou6003]

What a beautiful country Norway is! Amazing video!!!

[@margomaloney6016]

I LOVE this video! The simplicity and beauty of it all! Of course Elvis and Feline make for added happiness and companionship! The footage of the sleeping dogs is true contentment! Just wish all 3 of you had more time on that island!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, Margo. Yes, I wish we had. But we will be back!

[@mrsorepaws9146]

Serenity! Even E&F can't help themselves; solemn and silent ᛞ

[@riffhurricane]

Even EW&F wouldn't be able to help themselves in a place such as this.

[@sandraminarovic1523]

Love that you take the dogs for overnighters! ❤️

[@valerieaponteful]

I am a migraineur so I feel for you, Bjorn. Photophobia is severe with migraines. If the fire weren’t so beautiful that would be painful to look at too. The tiniest light is painful. Thank you for the adventure video. My own migraine is getting better as I watch and I’m praying you get some rest and relief soon. 🪵🔥

[@oceanistarz]

Great place to see and meet our Star Brothers.

[@RedRoadRunner23]

I love your dogs. Dogs make life better.

[@BjornOutdoors]

They absolutely do.

[@eddiegrathwohl624]

It's better to be in pain in the fresh air than couped up inside. If you ever do get back to the United States I would recommend visiting Ohio or Kentucky. Despite what you might hear on the news outside of the cities they are beautiful. It is also a great place to be left alone.

[@ktrigg2]

Ah, stop telling everyone ha!

[@BjornOutdoors]

I have that experience exactly. The pain seems to get worse when I'm inside.

[@w3w3w3]

lol depends.. I am just getting over chest infection/flu and i could barely move past week lol let alone be outside

[@Carl-Fredrik_Stenstrom]

Härligt att få ta del av ett nytt vildmarksäventyr innan jag avrundar dagen. Tusen tack. Allt gott!

"Peace and Quiet"!

I´ts a very special feeling of freedom. Connect with nature. I do it everyday.

[@stuartmurray3995]

A wonderful video, Bjørn, thank you. Glad you recovered from that tough migraine and had a great time. The dogs, the scenery, the fire, the bacon - just perfect!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Hi Stuart. Glad you liked it!

[@theimperialist2686]

Always love your camping videos Bjorn.

[@missybennett600]

So glad the puppies love to camp

[@BjornOutdoors]

It makes thing a lot easier!

[@CarolinaOmaSteph]

I love camping. The dogs outdoor jumpsuits are wonderful and they enjoy outdoors. Migraines are terrible. Glad you was able to stay and enjoy camping. The peace and quiet helps. Thank you for sharing the beautiful island.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Glad you liked it, Steffie!

[@marafarnham595]

Looks cozy Bjorn 😊 good to have your dogs with you 🐕🐕

[@tzipporahwilliams2666]

Thank you Bjorn.

[@Adrian_Real]

Lavvu eh? I want one! Haha, your dogs are super stylish - good choice with the colour, that'll keep them safe! Love you Bjorn - you've really helped me to stay motivated. Connecting with nature is crucial to a healthy human life. It is my mission too, to get people back into nature! This is freedom.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Well said, Adrian! This is freedom.

[@scottmccutcheon9828]

MAGNIFICENT setting Bjorn! BEAUTIFUL dogs! Greetings from far West Texas. Best Regards to you and all your loved ones, Bjorn.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, and the same to you, Scott!

[@ZephyrLynxx]

Oh, those doggy clothes are so adorable! Love your videos! Thank you for taking us on the adventure with you. Very beautiful and serene! Hope you feel better. Those migraines can be a bear!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, Karen. Yes, the migraines are bad, but they tend to clear up once I get out in the wilderness.

[@raccoonlittlebear6476]

Great trip! I love that tent, and your dogs are great companions.🐺🐺

Looked like a wonderful time enjoyed watching. 👍

Your dogs are incredible cute! Thanks for sharing🙂

[@drinkwater1915]

I am looking to camping soon. It's nice to take a break from everything once in a while.

[@kelsonhaldane989]

Bjorn I love the videos and would ask you if you could..please, show those of us where you are experiencing so much peace, where you visit on a map..I love following you and it would help me feel more of a part in your adventures in Gods country. Thank you..Patrick

[@feth7747]

Much more than enjoy the video, dear bjorn. Fortunately i am living near from places like this, only need to buy the canoe, that is on the way in a few months. Of course, the real, and the life us OUT of the hated cities

[@chrisavalon6198]

Glad to see out in the wild with the dogs

[@celeste3100]

His dogs look like little inmates in their rain 😂suits

[@bobhead6243]

I did not realize that your Lavu was of that type , I thought from the night time video , that you had a smaller , "Poncho type " one !😂

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Very envious of you night away. It appears in the UK many people have been buying up woodland in Wales...

[@thewildernessphilosopher]

Great video, Bjorn. Just beautiful. And we finally got to see you setting up your tent. 🍺🍺 Thank you for sharing.

[@fionamcormac7786]

Looks very peaceful.

It really was, Fiona.

How AWESOME for all 3 of you !!!! What FUN... what a Blessing... Happy for you, Bjorn !!!!

[@thessalymeteora3789]

I love the rain. It finally rained here in Southern California a few days ago. It hasn’t rained since January or something like that I think.

[@bertramhalbruner3296]

Greatly enjoyed this!! It has been many years since I have camped like this... Out in the wilderness away from everything... I miss it greatly.. Enjoy every moment that you have out there, whenever you can. Thanks for posting.. Love al; your videos and chats!!

[@ThePreparedMother]

Your dogs look like they're wearing space suits 😆 Super cute!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@aesthetics48]

It is just so funny to see your dogs with those suits on. Very pretty.

Leave a place the way you want to find it 👌my big hound goes in lake in winter don't put coat on him till he finished being a total fruitloop and back at car and dry .your a lucky man how can you be down . Bojorn life is short .live it .your a very small part in a huge machine you have no control over .ps depression sucks .think of the funtimes 👌👌👌

Looks like a relaxing trip, nothing like camping in nature.

[@kathleenbemis9676]

Such beautiful scenery. I also love the jackets that you have for your doggies. Norway is a very pretty Country. God bless.

Thanks, Adeline!

Bjorn, I use to have migraines as well and since I started taking a magnesium supplement, I have not had one in two years. Just something for you to think about.

[@graeme1015]

You spoil your dog's 😂

you can get imatrex from your doctor for migraines, its worth checking it out asap good luck too and love your dogs skal

Sorry to see that you woke-up with a migraine.

You too? I wake up at 4:00 every morning! Why? I don’t know!

[@rebeccariel2872]

Have you done a video that has told the story about your dogs? Where they came from, how did you find them and choose them, and perhaps some stories about them?

[@nancysalerno7036]

Wonderful video. I am in NY, I wonder if there are any islands for camping up in the St Lawrence seaway (the thousand islands) or anywhere else in NY . It would be so great be out with my dog free. Thanks for sharing your overnighter!

[@johnkirby7567]

Your hounds should be decked in spandex camo.

[@Myviewingtime07]

This looks like heaven 😌. It’s so beautiful and relaxing. How many islands are there?

[@BjornOutdoors]

Quite a few islands on those lakes. There are several small lakes and islands in that area.

[@walterdaniels6607]

I really like the tent... What brand and type is it?..

[@01cthompson]

I don't know why, but dogs seem to sleep well near water ( as do people)

[@nancysalerno7036]

Looks like a beautiful spot, it is a shame for you to experience the migraine in such a setting. I am a chemically sensitive person who prefers all things old over new. I am wondering if some of the off gassing of different camping things like tents could trigger migraines for you. Some new carpets etc. can make me really ill. Just a thought.

[@joosukas]

Hi there! There is a Chinese medicine trick for headaches that could work for you. Usually a headache comes from a too high blood pressure in the brain. You could try the following to conduct the blood outside from the brain: you rub your ears for a few minutes until they get dark red/purple. This has worked for me as a relief sometimes. Guys, let me know if this works for you.

[@martinacusack9867]

Could you share more info on dogs jumsuits please.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I will try to share some info on that in future videos. I bought them from a Norwegian website houseofdogs.no

Trying to find the quilt you use that the dogs like so much...

Who would not like this video?

Dear Bjorn, could you kindly let me know which teepee tent this is? It looks perfect for use here in Australia.

[@riverunner9978]

Do you cover the dogs for tic protection?

[@lauralee83]

"They don't speak English " 😄😄 I love their suits Bjorn. They look like little road workers with the orange. I know how to spell Elvis but how would you spell felines name? For future reference ❤

Lol I thought they looked like escapees from Guantanamo. Very cute, but I couldn't stop laughing! 🤣🤣

hi why are the dogs wearing suits and whats the type of tent called????

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

You say the tent is built for having a fire inside. Is there a way out for the smoke up there in the top?

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, of course.

[@glennfyfe1357]

Were the dogs wearing anti-tick covers?

[@davelunaskitchen8355]

Bjorn, what are the dogs wearing? Are those dog rain jackets?

Those are winter suits. They get cold very fast.
