Blueberry picking in Norway AND Viking mushroom

Did you know that the Vikings ate a type of mushroom that would make them go berserk? Join me as I go foraging in a Norwegian forest. I look for different types of mushroom and berries. Blueberries, lingonberries, crowberries and more. In Norway you can pick as many mushroom and berries as you'd like in any forest. I also almost run into a moose :o
Tusen takk for watching!

Hei hei, thanks for watching! Please let me know if you have any questions about foraging in Norway, and about different berries, mushroom and animals :D

[@matskarlsson9889]

Very delicious with blueberries 😋👍

[@norwaywithpal]

yes always!

[@JJ-kk6vl]

Hi Pål. Love your videos. First time I am commenting. Learning so much about Norway & Norwegian life through the videos. 3 of my great grandparents were Nordic (2 Norwegian and 1 Swede). Planning to visist one day with husband and kids and love the ideas for travel and adventure from your videos. Enjoyed this video on getting out in nature too... my Dad always taught me nature is healing. I still remember in my teens when a friend and I had an argument and I was so down, Dad took me up in the forest and we collected a remedy he uses for coughs/colds. By the end of the trip I was smiling and that is when he said to me that nature is healing. Now am so inspired to see the Norwegian forest and maybe find some blueberries too!

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Deep Thinker, nice to hear from you! Glad you enjoy my videos, and hope you will make it over here some day :) I agree with your dad, nature is very healing. I think especially now during the pandemic it has been an important place to "breathe" for a lot of people. God Jul! Merry Christmas to you

[@113DEVIL113]

Poor moose 🤣 very relaxing video, such videos can be used to treat depression 😌

[@aprilyoung5710]

Very good video. New subscriber here who is hoping to visit Norway for the first time hopefully this year. I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and appreciated you giving both Norwegian and English names for the berries.

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei April, tusen takk for subscribing and checking out my videos :) I hope you'll make it over here this year!

[@DianeNomadz]

I used to go berry picking with my parents - blueberries and raspberries mostly. I love wild blueberries!

[@norwaywithpal]

Wild blueberries are the best!

[@TommyNordpole]

Well done Pål! :) Maybe You will find some Multer next time!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you! Still looking for a good spot for multer close to Oslo :o

[@vanme739]

Hei Hei! Blåbær er smaken av sommer! 🫐 Here in Maine they peak in late July-early August and can be found in the woods, next to the road and right on the hiking trails. When my siblings and I were kids our Mom used to tell us if we picked a cup she would make muffins-so, good motivation 😋 I liked your excitement about seeing a moose. I understand that perfectly! Good call not eating the mushroom that will make you berserk-although that would have made a very interesting video 😂 God Sommer, Pål! 🫐🫐🫐🌲🌿🦌 🌼🌞

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei hei Amy, thanks for watching the video. Nice you have such nice blueberry memories :) I've always wondered what the blueberries taste like over there, compared to the ones we have here. Btw. there is a fun Norwegian expression "å være helt på bærtur" :) read about it here: www.thelocal.no/20191126/norwegian-expression-of-the-day-helt-paa-baertur/

[@vanme739]

@@norwaywithpal ha!!!! Love it. I signed up for the newsletter :-)

[@wilmabrondbo1391]

Nature is free. We do have blueberries and lingonberries just outside the cabin. Freeze most of them and make jam when jar is empty😋

[@norwaywithpal]

That's great to hear. We often freeze them as well as we tend to pick much more than we can eat in a week :)

[@twelvesmylimit]

What a beautiful way to spend the day!

[@norwaywithpal]

It really is! And enough berries to make jam for a year :)

[@twelvesmylimit]

Herlig!@@norwaywithpal

[@vaninamafra576]

Thanks for video !! Blueberry or " grapefruits " are definitely uncommon in Brasil ! Nice see how grow up and picked up them, as much as about mushrooms !

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Vanina! Thanks for checking out the video. A lot of delicious berries growing wild in Norway 😋

[@stevenjohnson7086]

In most of the foothills of California, we have elderberry trees. They average perhaps three to five meters tall. Small berries; about pea sized. Dark purple and need to be cooked into jam.

[@norwaywithpal]

Sounds delicious 😋 we do have elderberries in Scandinavia as well, but they are not as common

[@JR-playlists]

Hi Thanks for sharing. Thimbleberries, raspberries, and black berries. An invasive in my area high in vitamin A is autumn olive

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks for watching! Thimbleberries are unknown to me… also autumn olive, but I’ve googled them so now I learned something new :)

[@katieb8806]

This reminds me of berry and mushroom picking for the first time in Norway last year. It was really amazing! Such nice moss and lichen covered forest floor :-)

[@norwaywithpal]

Cool you had an opportunity to do that. Last year we had a fantastic berry season as well!

[@renata-s5b]

A very nice video - than you!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks for watching!

[@travelingsteps6618]

Another great video. BRAVO!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you!

[@tshansen]

Nice to see you back on track Pål... been out doing some filming as well today. I really enjoyed this episode. You variated the clips beautifuly with amazing cut in's and b-roll. Your style of filming inspire me alot 👏🏻 My favourite berry must be Bjørnebær 🥰 Did you manage to make something out of the vacation?

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you! Bjørnebær are great, but a bit hard to find over here... Mostly in peoples gardens. And yes I did a fair share of filming during the vacation, but you know, I need to balance it with my love life, and not making it too much into work. You probably know how it goes... So not optimal in that sense, but was an amazing vacation, and did get some nice shots so I'll probably make an episode or two :)

[@tshansen]

@@norwaywithpal We have insane amount of Bjørnebær at my cabin, and with some ice cream... holy moly 🤣👏🏻 Hahaha, I know all about that. Can you please put that camera down and focus on something else. So I have more or less quit filming when on family trips. They don't want to be exposed like that, so I respect that and film when I'm alone 🤣 But I shoot alot of b-rolls when I'm on trips like that. Can't wait to see more sailing stuff as well, I really love that stuff.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@tshansen Probably a good idea to quit filming during family time yes. It's a thin line to walk on... yea ice cream or vanilla sauce, a killer combo!

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

Cloudberry/multe😀

[@johnhinds1579]

You sure cover a wide variety of topics well.

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you John!

[@billayers2190]

Blueberries

[@ernestorodriguez3637]

Try the mushroom! Try The Mushroom!! TRY THE MUSHROOM!!!

[@norwaywithpal]

haha. next time

[@benebene2145]

you don't have to cut mushrooms. The Mushroom is only the Fruit, the actual myzel is under the ground and will produce new fruits to pick :)

[@norwaywithpal]

okay, so by taking up the stem it does not remove the myzel, or stop the mushroom from producing new fruits? :) Great info though, thanks!

[@andrejohansen2783]

👍

[@AndreSantos-ho4lw]

Great video! But best you keep the location of that blueberry patch a secret from Gabrielle...

[@norwaywithpal]

Haha 😂 I’m afraid she already knows… Glad you enjoyed the video

[@AndrewGora]

Cloudberry was taken by the vikings in their boats on their voyagers of conquest because they prevent scurvy. Are they different to blue berries ! I would presume so !

[@norwaywithpal]

Interesting. In terms of nutrition I do not know, just that blueberries has a lot of antioxidants, but probably cloudberries hold more vitamin c...?

[@AndrewGora]

@@norwaywithpal Thanks for the reply. So obviously cloudberries are different. They were taken by the vikings on their boat journeys around Europe and the New world. I first found about this whilst reading a biography of Nansen many many years ago. Again thanks for the reply and love your channel Pal.

[@alexb1318]

Great video. Which part of Norway is this?

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks! It's in the east, about 1 hour of driving east of Oslo

[@jrnbrandtzg5594]

Great video! :)

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you Jørn!

[@donaldpang]

Hi Pal, is this forrest near Oslo? is it allowed to use wood stove to boild some water in the woods during September? Thanks

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there, a stove is not a problem as long as it’s not an open fire . The general prohibition is until 15th of September. But you can for instance make open fire if it’s been raining a lot or you are not close to any areas with high risk of forest fire. The law is not so rigid and open for some interpretation aka common sense :)

[@donaldpang]

@@norwaywithpal thank you very much for your advice.

[@andrejohansen2783]

Algo 👍❤️❤️

[@abhyvm1657]

Hi Pål, I'm not from Europe. So, how do you get access to the forest? Don't forest guards stop you from entering? And is Norway really remote and only few people live in vast expanse like the one here? Finally, what happens to all these places when winter comes?

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi Abhy, those are interesting questions. The forest is all accessible by the public here. There is no such thing as forest guards, you can enter any forest and pick berries and hike and camp. Norway have larger cities, but it’s one of the least densely populated countries in Europe, so there is a lot of open land and countryside.

[@norwaywithpal]

When winter comes nothing much happens… it could get covered with snow, but it’s still accessible to those who want

[@abhyvm1657]

@@norwaywithpal that's amazing! The lower population is a good thing, apparently. Thanks, Pål.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@abhyvm1657 You are welcome :)

[@birchwoodbushcraft]

Do you happen to know the actual name for the 'viking mushroom' at all?

Here in Miami the blueberry are expensive

[@norwaywithpal]

Here as well… the ones in the store that is

[@jooosepereira]

Hi Pål. Did you know where I can do foraging close to Oslo?

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi José, many places. You could go to lillomarka. Take the metro to Grorud and walk towards Steinsbruvann and into the forest from there. Or were you thinking further outside of Oslo?

[@cnady2]

Hei, ikke sikker om du fortsatt svarer på kommentarene men jeg har lyst å prøve å plukke litt tyttebær/blåbær som aktivitet med barn. Ganske sikker jeg klarer å finne blåbær i Østmarka, men er det også mulighet for tyttebær der eller er det litt feil skogtype?

Do you have snakes in forest?

Only this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipera_berus

@@norwaywithpal i was afraid exactly that one... We have it to, that is why i am affraid to pick blueberrys in the forest. It is dadly if it bite you. Hilsen fra Slovenia 😊

[@missPolShe]

I had a close meeting with that type of snake 😅🐍

[@norwaywithpal]

@@missPolShe aha, I've heard its only deadly if you have a bad allergy. For most people its like being stung by a bie. I've personally never seen one, and I spend a lot of time in the forest

[@missPolShe]

@@norwaywithpal i hope it stays that way 😉

[@davidthompson7772]

Heisann? How is it different than hei hei?

[@norwaywithpal]

Both are an informal greeting. But Heisann would translate to something like "Hi there".. Hei hei, hey hey.. Both of these greetings sound cheerful to us. And informal.
