[@mancroft]

Thanks

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks for the donation!

[@DM-wk3gz]

Bjorn, your videos make me feel like there is some hope left in this dark world. Much love.

[@michaelmccoy7429]

The best thing in this video is the love you have for your dogs. Makes a man tear up.

[@helenav5171]

Beautiful place....love hearing the rain on the tent. 😊💖 Heal soon Elvis.😊💖

[@RM-bl4td]

So happy Elvis was ok. Bjorn, thank you for your videos. They are a moment of peace in unrestful times. I'm in!

[@Fairy_Gothmother]

I`m in! I love how your dogs jumped out of the boat like they were being dropped off at school. Ok, we‘re here, later dad! 🐕🐕🌲😅

[@beardedmisanthrope9274]

Fined for stretching her hand out across the border that’s insane. Here along our southern border in the states people are pouring across the border with and without COVID. I’m in!!!

[@saintsaens21]

Wish it were insane, but it isn't, it's plain and simple totalitarian tactics to slowly force a Chinese social credit system onto Europeans.

[@nancysalerno7036]

It was so sweet to see Elvis lovingly wrapped up in your shirt. Our dogs are such special friends.

[@kathywolf4558]

Made me laugh "It's like having small children again". Yes, the critters that are part of our family are exactly like small children and will vex you just as much! :)

[@trajanaugustus8783]

I'm In! Love your insight and videos on this and your other channel Bjorn. I am also an avid outside in the woods enthusiast. Best time of the week is when I can get away for a day or two and just enjoy nature and the peace it brings.

[@radiationraven]

And I love the old sea shanty at the end… a personal favorite!

[@nihildrv89]

I'M IN. Thank you for your beautiful outdoor videos, Bjorn !

[@scooper63]

Hi Bjorn, that is such a beautiful country you live in. I’d have gone home early to get Elvis treatment too as I would with my dogs. Take care, brother! I’m in!

[@lovejuliet4969]

I'm in! I hope Elvis recovers ok, he definitely loves to leap and bound!🐕🐾🐸💖

[@RagnaroksHomesteading]

"I'M IN." We just took our seven youngest children on a 3 day/2 night primitive camping trip and after not having rain in weeks it decided to pour all 3 days. We didn't let that stop the experience and spent the whole time exploring, fishing, and living life as it should be - along side Nature, " the real world."

[@WobblingHobGoblin]

"I'm in" Canoe trips are pure majesty, Especially with freshly caught rainbow trout!

[@jharpe001]

“I’m In”. A solid voice of reason is far more valuable than many voices of hate, fear and discontent!

[@stevefellows9319]

I'm in...love with your wonderful out door videos. Your calmness and love of nature are wonderful therapy in an age of noise and distractions, thank you Bjorn.

[@regularguy2200]

I’m in! Hopefully your dog makes a full recovery. I found it commendable that you went to go find his sock. Thanks for the great videos!

[@jpriley0311]

I'm in! Sir you motivate me to keep fighting. I watch your videos while doing Chemo and when I am at home with my kids. When I do feel good enough we get out and enjoy mother nature. Thank you for everything you do. Semper Fidelis!!!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Dear James, thanks a lot for your message. I feel honoured!

[@theohaugen241]

I,am in the wind . I really enjoy your show and I like the way you explain ,life,s ups and downs .

[@SabineWald_NowHere]

What a gorgeous scenery. Bonus those two beauties in your boat. How amazing to be able to choose one of many islands for camping, not having to worry about the poisonous snakes and similar. It looks so beautiful. Elvis seems such a good (and cheeky) boy :)

[@susand4424]

I'm in, this is the perfect size for my hikes around the cheviot hills :) And thank you for your videos on all your channels, you're a light in what has become a very dark world.

[@beverlymandeville7936]

I LOVE THE DOGS! Precious!

[@dustin358]

I'm in, and thank you for the opportunity. Being a responsible dog dad is well worth it!

[@dbtubeID]

Late to the party, but I'm in! Feeding the algorithm if nothing else. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences, thoughts, and life lessons with us. I hope the pup heals up quickly.

[@boobookfnikkie]

Yes honey is great for wounds I may be bias as a beekeeper , but raw honey with bee propolis in it works wonders for human and dog injuries . Along with yarrow

[@MrRourk]

Do you make Mead?

[@crazyscott2646]

That is because honey is a antiviral! It has been used for medical reasons for millions of years! It never goes bad! They found jars of honey in Egypt that were at least 6000 years old. It was crystallized and they reheated it and it was like coming from the hive. Blessings

[@boobookfnikkie]

@@MrRourk I have in the past yes .

[@boobookfnikkie]

@@crazyscott2646 yes it truly is wonderful stuff

[@boobookfnikkie]

When I said yarrow .. I meant for humans with honey never dogs

[@SOPHIAtheGoddess]

Wonderful video, Bjorn! 👍💯❤ I'M IN!!!

[@kutasarri7113]

I could live somewhere like that... the more secluded, the better! Lovely!

[@benjones9808]

"I'm in" great content as usual ,I'm sure Elvis will be ok like you said and well dogs will be dogs, cheers from the UK.

[@djw8504]

I’m in! I’m in!! Your videos calm my nerves every time. Intake care of my mom with dementia, so I stay stressed and depressed. I am just getting into hiking and biking for my therapy. Lol!! Much love and prayers to you and your family. Hoping Elvis gets well soon. 🙏❤️

[@Catlife247]

I'M IN! You're like the father I never had and we agree on almost everything. Thank you for giving us a friend to turn to in these difficult times.

[@sherries6004]

I’m in! I enjoy your videos and love the views of nature you show us. Also, your insight. Prayers for your doggies also.❤️

[@danielgrunow105]

I'm in. Good to hear Elvis is okay. Best wishes to you and your folks. Looks like a lovely place!

[@billleaton9667]

I'm in . Great content as usual. The scenery reminds me of northern Ontario Canada. A beautiful combination of rocks, trees and lakes. One of my best memories is stopping on a small island during a days paddle to make a cup of tea and pick wild blueberries to eat with my biscuits.

[@suescott4418]

That lake scenery is so Beautiful and amazing how the sky looks so close That you could almost reach out and touch it

[@gerrispires4548]

I'm in. Your voice is so calming, I love listening to you and your very helpful view points. May God bless you and your family. We have 4 fur babies and live them just like kid's.

[@lunallure]

I'm in! Zpacks is a cool brand as they specialize in making lightweight products that are very useful to have on long hikes such as multi-day hikes. Thanks for this giveaway opportunity Bjorn!

[@KiddKoalaz]

Maplestory check

[@chrisavalon6198]

Glad to see you back in your comfort zone.Enjoy you’re day

[@jeanadamsick9854]

Hope Elvis, has a speedy recovery!!! It is a beautiful island!! I am a subscriber to both of your channels, Bjorn. Nice give away of the back pack, very kind of you!! Thanks for sharing!!! Do take care. Fl., USA

[@tommiethompson2581]

I've never canoed on a lake, always the river but that is where I live. Days and days spent canoeing and camping on the sandbars. Wake up before daylight, cook breakfast on the campfire, and just as dawn breaks head on down river. The early morning mist rising from the water. The birds waking and singing good morning seem just for me. A doe crossing the shallows with her twin fawns. These things I now share with my grandchildren. They tell me that the kids at school say that their grandmothers only bake cookies....I can do that too, even on a campfire. I'm in...

[@radiationraven]

I’M IN!!! My pup Murphy can go from 0 to Careless in 1.5 seconds, I have had to get burdock out of his beard along the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Not all adventures unfold how I’d like, but they unfold as they do… overall it is still better than sitting at a desk!

[@domg6041]

The way you explained your dog, is the way I explain my children. Just wrecking balls with little care for walls, corners, and frankly any form of obstacle. They just run full speed, jump the largest gaps they can. As for the giveaway, I'm sure there was a way to use "I'm in", oh well.

[@NekroVon7thDivision]

I'm in, fantastic videos as always. Thank you for bestowing such grand wisdom and information for us to view. I still dig through old videos to watch.

[@gayledumas567]

I'm IN! Thank you for your videos. Good to know there are still sane people in this world.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I would love a backpack, I can begin making my bug-out preparations - so if you choose me, I am in Australia (they are truly tyrants)

[@glennfyfe1357]

Would like to see you guys setting up the tent, best wishes to you and your great dogs. I’m in for the giveaway. Vitamin E oil and goldenseal with myrrh closes wounds, especially on the paws.

[@sherrillperez9796]

So beautiful there! Relaxing vid. Wonderful of Elvis and Liam(?) to join you. Almost as if I am there only without the exertion of the journey. Now I need to get outside for a walk/hike.

[@markmccusker2069]

Thanks for sharing with us. I hope Elvis recovers ok.

[@thenordish8403]

I will surely enjoy this as a start of my day !

[@BjornOutdoors]

The giveaway is now over and you can find out who the winner is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ima0p4KNjL2In9k

[@milly3139]

I love you! Thank you for everything that you do for this world. Love, light & blessings. ❤️

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

Silly Elvis, loveable bumble. :) You do take good care of him and he has the very best life possible, that is for sure. He looks like he is smiling as he lays there nodding off to sleep. Then he looked all guilty when you found his sock. tee hee That looked like a painting with the 2 dogs on the rocks in that beautiful place. Aww, he still looks sad and guilty in the canoe. ha ha I hope he heals up easy peasy. The cone of shaaaaame. Elvis has left the island. ha ha He made me laugh today.

[@darktrailgirl_sister_moon2896]

"children";) he he, enjoy those times with the doggies! Elvis is quite the viking! Really enjoy these videos. Just subscribed to this channel/member of your others. I'm in!

[@KawakebAstra]

🙏awesome lake trip Viking👑🍃Ur doggies sweet, elegant … seem runners rather than woodsy types😹💕& being children..so funny ..yep cleaning up poo & hair forever ..is why i stopped pets ..sad to lose them not living long .. now older prefer communing w wildlife ,)

[@adamdean5881]

The small to medium sized dogs tend to live longer than the bigger breeds of dogs. But they always leave too soon. There may be a lesson there for us to learn

[@lisaandmandiontheroad8504]

@Dave Dozecky he loves his dogs that he has

[@dd7521]

I'm in! My son would love a back pack like that. He has camped in both Norway and Sweden but Norway was his favourite. When he wild camped, a young couple made him supper and gave him a beer. How lovely is that! Sending love to your dogs and boisterous Elvis especially. ❤️

[@andrewhanowski9601]

I'm in! Keep up the great videos bjorn! Its always nice to see when you upload!

[@lukehickman2871]

I'm In. Thanks for always putting out high quality, entertaining and informative content.

Lovely to see the dogs off leash ! They are very well behaved ~

[@maneldaselva]

I'm in! Bjorn thanks a lot for your videos, you are a companion to me here at my nomadic office! May our ancestors smile at our journeys and guide us when we need!

[@Ghost_Os]

I'm in. Poor Elvis. My girlfriend's dog is the same way. Sees a fly on the wall from the other side of the wall, and runs full speed at the wall. Speedy recovery Elvis!

[@heathen.and.the.hounds]

Love watching you and the dogs Bjorn, more please!

[@Forever-Humble]

Thank you for this informative information you bring, in these dark times this really helps 🙏

[@MarkPillow]

Oh Elbis set you up. Right to the water with a fresh bandage - classic.

[@Chris-nk9pr]

I'm in! It's refreshing to find someone who isn't afraid to stand up to the establishment. Keep posting videos Bjorn!

[@sktchmnky]

Having 3 children myself, it is very scary and stressful in this world. However, the happiness that comes from watching them accomplish almost anything is something I wouldnt trade for the most amount of riches.

[@sunscape3920]

Thank you for such a Peaceful Lovely Scenic video. :) I'm in.. It looks like Heaven out there. Well wishes & quick recovery to Elvis.

[@lcccc1809]

I'M IN ! Thank you so much Bjorn, for your videos and insight. Trusting Elvis will be fine.

[@gray5627]

Sorry to hear Elvis got some scratches! Grayhounds have always amazed me with their agility and speed, but yet they make great "couch" dogs, too! Poor Elvis, wearing his "cone of shame!" I hope he gets better soon. Awesome giveaway. I'm in! Thanks for sharing. :-)

[@drinkwater1915]

I'm in. Looks like a beautiful place to camp even if it rains some. Hope Elvis is feeling better.

[@MrRourk]

I like the fact your dogs look like dogs. Plus they seem happy!

[@BourbonDrinker]

Beautiful scenery. I'm in.

[@Bee-2-the-Dee]

I'm in! Sending love and light to all those who see what is truly going on around the world

[@andrewhillsdon5208]

I’m in. Thanks Bjorn for all the great videos, the combination of outdoors beauty and bush craft and Convid scepticism is a winner for me.

[@sallytrout4311]

I love going along on your adventures, brother. Thank you!!! 🥰

[@saardewolf]

I’m in. Speedy recovery to Elvis! Poor puppers. 🐶🖤🌲 Love from Holland

[@chesterwilson4719]

I'm in! ...when you said "Feline, you can blame your brother" it brought a little smile to my face, but when you showed the sock that Elvis had lost to him...I laughed so hard! I don't know that his ears would be that far back if he was running full-speed! I know you'll remember the honey for next time. Cheers!

[@conryykrobertson]

Good morning Bjorn! Always good to see you and your fur children. Sucks you were rained out but you did right by elvis. Hope he heals fast man! I'm in

[@lidianappelman9198]

Thank you for sharing all that beautyfull nature showing us that inspire you to talk about the world we live in. With the woords you thuse in farmer language we call that here thats a compliment We Love you and the dogs Blessings from Crete Island

[@stevenkeller3938]

I'm in! Love your videos Bjorn. I've been following you for several years. You're an inspiration for me. I enjoy your wisdom and insight into what's going on in the world and the increasing attacks on our freedom. Keep up the good work. I hope Elvis is healing nicely.

[@gwynapnudd9199]

I'm in and get healed soon Elvis

[@kathleenbemis9676]

Such beautiful scenery, Bjorn. I hope that Elvis feels better and that he recovers from his scratches soon. I love your tent! It's so cool. Have a great day/night. I'm in...

[@valoriezook7371]

I'm in! I so appreciate your dedication to your animals.....I have 3 dogs myself, and they come first always!!!! You give me a peace when I watch you.Thank you .

[@JenB.188]

I'm in. I love watching your dogs camping with you. They are beautiful and so well behaved. I'm glad Elvis is ok.

[@joegrant5364]

Life's a lesson from day one. Tests we pass, or have to retake. My boy has been with me 9 years. Traveled many, camped, hiked, lived life as we still do, and will. Stay safe, and most importantly free. I'm in.

[@fr.matthiasdeclercq6682]

I am in. Thanks for your wise lessons. Making light for people is a noble cause.

[@seantonnesen1636]

Hoping that Elvis gets well soon.

[@dobbiessock1050]

I'm In :) love to see your beautiful dogs Bjorn, lovely to see your concern for your them, please never apologise for caring for your dogs, they are family. Its great to see the beautiful Islands you have in Norway.

[@ronhanks4610]

I’m in, I love it how you are going into the woods with your dogs. There is no replacement for being in nature. Stay strong my friend.

[@viviancatharinaseitzinger1841]

Poor Elvis. Lessons learned. Firstaidkit for doggies too now. Love your video's. What a beautiful country Norway. I am in. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@desiderata333]

This is very beautiful. What an wonderful way to live! ❤️❤️❤️

[@philipgraham3350]

I’m in. Keep up the good work Bjorn, we need as many like you as possible.

[@ferretywalton6860]

Thanks for cheering me up, I had to laugh when you said "and now I have to go find his sock" as an owner of greyhounds and lurchers I can appreciate this 😉😀

[@cillad1963]

Stretching her hand out across the border… brought tears to my eyes… 🙏🏻hopefully her loved ones on her side of the border..

[@catturd9978]

Bjorn, in a way this is my favorite video of yours. I always love camping with Elvis videos because I feel like I am going camping too while being stuck in my house and it brings me great joy. As in life things often do not turn out as you tried/expected, so this is a good metaphor for life and making lemonade out of lemons.. Thanks for rowing me around the lake! I LOVED IT!

[@joanmyron]

I'm in! Thank you for all your amazing videos! I love watching the forest, hearing the birds chirping, water and learning more about living off grid. 🌿♥️

[@IanBarnfield]

I'm in! Thank you for another wonderful video. Good reminder - things never go exactly as planned, it's rarely simple, but if you're out in nature there's always something to enjoy, something to learn - it's all good. Hope Elvis heals quickly. Looking forward to the next adventure!

[@francescodurante1684]

I'm in! Bjorn, thank you for being a voice of reason among the hysteria and madness the world is ingulfed by these days. It is refreshing and unfortunately too many people don't see what we are getting ourselves in to. We need to be outside, eat well and prepare. I am living in Tasmania, Australia and would love to use this bag in the tough wilderness we have here. Cheers!
