[@Braapncamp]

My pleasure Pierre and thanks for joining the adventure. Happy that this was useful!

[@NomadSweden]

Indeed! A great summary of "Why we do this". Love it

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks Rob! Flying thru the landscapes with the power to change plans, explore, the self reliance. Man and machine 💪. ...or boys with their toys ☝️😂 no mysteries here 👌

[@streetmachine8211]

Roligt som fan att få följa med på resan du gjort. Helt fantastiskt va Sverige är vackert. Bästa landet! Anledningen till att vi kör är för att det finns inget härligare än att bli ett med hojjen och stå på efter en rolig slingrig grusväg. Ta ett par bärs och sen sätta upp tältet vid en fin sjö.

[@Braapncamp]

Tusen tack! Huvudet på spiken, det behövs inte mer för att komma in i en underbar frihetskänsla 👌🏻😁.

[@World.of.Musikk]

Absolutely stunning scenery

[@Braapncamp]

It' s in the woods at least 😁 thanks for watching!

[@r.j.b.1236]

I like the series and i think you might feel a deep conection to your forefathers especially when you visited the graves.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for your comment,.much appreciated! Yes You are on it, it is a special feeling and I think itvis both interesting and important to great the forefathers / ancestors. Connect to the past to greater in the feature. 💪❤️

[@Scotnish4U]

Matthias, thank you for sharing your trip and so enjoyable to listen to your musings on why we do this.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks buddy! It's ofc not only the personal part of it to get out, I forgot to to mention the joy of of just flying thru the forests with the eyes on the horizon and landscape. Man and machine 💪thanks for joining the trip 🙌

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Good morning Mattias ... Another great adventure. Must say.. alot of world is missing out on this great channel.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks JD, I'm happy with You guys that are joining the adventures. You make my days after I have been on adv's. Fun to discuss them and enjoy the after ride 👌. I definately enjoy other adventures as well, the more personal the better.

[@TheHarley883r]

Very well done Mister ,, sad the ride is over but looking very much to the next adventure you take, i wish we could ride in the forest here in Norway but we are limited to the ash felt here unless privately owned property's , one great thing of Sweden is the nature and doing something like you have done is a dream ... be well and stay safe and thank you for sharing .....

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks my friend! I see but you have endless curvy roads with great scenery. I geuess that the enviromental change is great sometimes for us. Best thing is that we are close to each others different beauty!

[@ViajaresViVirOscar]

Thank you very much for your videos. It was wonderful !

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for Your comment, much appreciated Oscar! Happy holidays and stay wild 🙌

Thanks Stuart and welcome aboard 🙌

[@fredrikliljekvist2993]

Riktigt kul att följa dig på dina resor. Keep up the good work!

[@Braapncamp]

Tusen tack! Nu längtar man ut på nya äventyr ☝️😁 Happy trails!

[@davindersangha3761]

I have been contemplating what to do now that I took your advice and became a Amok camper. Was thinking the same things as you just showed me. Thanks maybe its time to have a small coffee to confirm a good idea!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for joining this adv Davinder, always great to read your comments. I t all depends on how many nights you plan to stay outdoors and in what type of environment. One thing is for sure, new gear keeps you outdoors 👀😂. A small coffee while catching moments or ideas isn't bad at all, something that we should do more often.

[@bigswederides]

Thanks for the video Mattias, what I needed during morning coffee. You have a pretty accepting wife to be able to ride the trails for 6 days. I ride for the same reasons, a basic need to clear my mind and re-set. I use Motoz Adventure on the rear, Rallz front - Africa Twin 1100 ADV Sport. I have about 7,000km on them and should get another 2,000km before they are done. Great tire, can be noisy on highways. I'll probably buy another set. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for having you along this trip! Yes, you are right I'm blessed with an understanding wife. She was at work, otherwise this had been difficult 👀😁😅. I was into a set of Rallz but they where out of stock so now I'm on Motoz Deserts, super great and new favorites so far!

[@B.Undrum]

Thanks for these videos of your trip Mattias, it has been a joy to follow. Enjoy your vanlife now, find yourself that beach to relax on! Well deserved. Looking forward to your next ride and video!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks B for joining this trip. I did and also took vacation from the video cam 😂. A wonderful van trip that should have been documented (it is on fb at least). 💪❤️

[@B.Undrum]

@@Braapncamp You cant record it all ;) Im glad to hear you had a good time!

[@kimkelberg]

Lovely roads and view’s you ride on this video Mattias , looks like a great day home

[@Braapncamp]

Hi Kim, I think I had similar reflections after each day just amazing what different areas and their highlights get you in great mood. Thanks for joining Kim!

[@brownies-midlifeadventure]

Very clever, great tips 🤠👍

[@Braapncamp]

Yes, many are wondering about this and i had to practice this method by happening. 👌

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

Grymt härlig resa du fick göra! Visst är det skönt att vara själv ibland, få rensa hjärnan och inte behöva tänka på någon annan. Som alltid skoj att följa dig. Ser fram emot lite filmer från Skog 21 nu.

[@Braapncamp]

Gott att ha dig med Kalle! Tack för de fina orden och nu ser vi fram mot en härlig höst ute i det fria 👍.

[@maalse]

Great to follow you on your trips. Thanks!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks for joining Markus, much appreciated!

[@leifaslin7625]

Tack för bra filmer! Passar bra att cykla till på gymmet, innan man kan ta ut hojen. 👋

[@Braapncamp]

Haha 😂 tack själv för att du tycker att det är sevärt 🙏. Bra idé att kolla tuben när man motionerar. Jag brukar lyssna på ljudbok eller podcast! Vi är tre st som kör Nordic ADV TV som live video podcast. Den går att lyssna på på KZbin Music medan man motionerar. Vi tramsar bara och dricker öl och pratar om npt änne, men en del avsnitt är väldigt intressanta när vi intervjuar folk relaterat till ADV. Kör hårt, snart ör vi där ute i skogarna igen 😁💪

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Really nice spot in Tiveden, How bad that I Wasn't at home when you were that close. Askersund isn’t very far from here I’ve could have joined for a pizza 😀

[@Braapncamp]

I agree Joones, that would have been cool. But you were on your adventure up north then. Hope you had a great trip as well! You hsve slot of nice trails where you live ☝️😁👌

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Yes we where riding E4 down south from Piteå that day or maybe we already has passed Ö-vik. There’s a lot of nice roads, I haven’t found most of them yet 😂. when it comes to forest roads I ride mostly in the area south of E18 and north of E20. Its closest to home. But most part of the forest roads is of course south of E20 or north of E18.🤔. Because 99% of Sweden is north or south of this area😂😂

[@Braapncamp]

☝️😁😂😂

[@first_adv]

Sweden is beautiful👍The day will come when I will pass TET Sweden. Thank you Mattias!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks, that's a great plan. I hope to saddle up and throttle south east one day.

[@whatsnext6336]

Excellent series, you nailed it! I'm looking forward to the SKOG event video/-s now. If the events will continue I might even attend in the future, but I need better tyres first (OEMs now). I started looking at one of your videos in which you were fueling up at my close by gas station (Brunnered) and have followed you since, as I enjoy both motorcycle riding, cultural stops and nature. You are, as well as Thomas and Robert & Co, a true source of inspiration. Maybe you guys can lure me into try making my own video soon, we'll see. Keep up the good work!

[@Braapncamp]

Please share your videos to the advrider community! If it wasn't for the bad mobile network i would send live from the event 👌. Thanks for your comment, the Nomads is here and having fun as well.

[@Olsen1410]

Great ride and nice to follow you on the tracks........ Why we do it, for me it give me the same relaxed mind, as when Im stalking alone with my rifle. But with both bike and guns, I like to go in small group too, but the solo feeling is just special :)

[@Braapncamp]

It is! A time to reflect and just You, much needed sometimes.

[@DragosRDS]

Our lonely riding viking !!! Nice ride and series Mattias. I am hoping that you will come to me and I promise that you will never see pizza :))))) Just kidding, stay safe and ride hard as usual !

[@Braapncamp]

Haha, that pizza in Askersund harbor was welcome 😂👍 But I have seen what you eat both thru the Nomads and live from your backyard! Stuff that makes you wan't to ride south 😁🙌. Great to have you along Dragos!

[@jinxymcjinxface6133]

Thanks for sharing Mattias very jealous of your tracks and roads lovely country now go and take the wife and earn some points 👍

[@Braapncamp]

Thats a great advice 💪❤️ thanks for joining this trip!

[@massadus7872]

Keep up with the great content!

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks!

[@TheTurbomoose]

I guess it's the roads over Lisjö you were so excited about? :-)

[@Braapncamp]

That correct! a bikers paradise 👍😁

[@MrEtnorb]

Fantastic ride Mattias. Easy to see how much you were enjoying it by the sound of that engine and the squirming of the back wheel. Question for you, how do you think the 890 would handle a passenger? I would like to take my wife occasionally for local day rides, nothing as tricky as that terrain. Maybe you can do a short ride with your wife on board one day, out to those lake settings. I’m relying on your videos to remind me of what it’s like while we are locked down in Australia. Keep it up.

[@Braapncamp]

Tusen tack DKW! The 890 takes a passenger with charm. I have tested with Bibbi just because I was curious too. She as well. Bibbi rode with me 2 up for several years on trip to the Alps and Mediterranean. Since we went in to RV'ing she has only been on the bike occasionally. I actually got her to stand up at the rear pegs when we were riding on forest tracks 2 up 👍. The 790 has room and power enough for two at day trips or occasional travels. For constant 2 up a GSA or 1290 SAR is recommended ofc with even better comfort and torque.

[@MrEtnorb]

@@Braapncamp Thanks Mattias. I thought you would confirm that info. I too have done a lot of 2 up tours on the 1200's and they are wonderful but heavy for the dirt. I have been thinking of a 1090R as it has a good reputation but the 890 is freely available at dealers for test rides and has the latest electronics. I was hoping you would give a review of your bike and you did so at the end of the ride. YOu must have >10,000kms on it now and no troubles. That is reassuring as no doubt you have heard of the range of niggles with the early 790's. I assume that KTM has largely sorted everything with the 890, hence my interest.

[@Braapncamp]

If we compare to the 690, the 690 is cramped for 2 up. Really inconvenient for 2up. The 790 is not cramped at all for two. Ofc with all the reports on the 790 I always check it. My breaks squeeks, which I don't like. The break fluid reservoir is wetting on the lid, not replay concerned about that. It has never missed a beat, no jerky start, it always fire upp perfect. No sign of leak from rear shock, something I keep an eye on. Loctite on the gear shifter linkage, lost a bolt there once. Would not swop this bike for anything else than a 890R. Given what's on market today. I was not too easy on the throttle, but far from wild, 4,4l/100Km's. That gave me a nice fuelrange. The new Motoz Deserts that I threw on it runs relay nice, it bites and steer alot better than with Rallz. Rallz are great though for rides like this.

[@VildBlick]

Kul att få följa med på din resa :)

[@Braapncamp]

Tack Svampen, mitt nöje att ha dig med!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Excellent bike, Mattias. Only in case of a tip over I miss the button for 50 kg less ;-) All the best, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

[@Braapncamp]

Haha, thats true. This beast actually falls over the low tanks which makes it a bit trickier to lift. A GS Boxer only fall half way 👀😂

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@Braapncamp Unfair advantage for the Boxer ;-) But that low side tank of the KTM, ingenious for low-speed handling.

[@Braapncamp]

Haha, I agree! It is noticable to have all the fuel this low on the 790/890. And as You say, golden in the low speed handling on gnarly trails.

[@SsiolisP]

Not crazy (yet) I know that earlier I saw a recommended video of part 2 of SKOG with Rob, which I had planned on watching later after watching part 1. Must have gone crazy without realizing it (yet). 😂🤪😂

[@Braapncamp]

Rob does great videos, soon there will be new SKOG videos ☝️😁🤠🔥🍺🍺🍺💪😂

[@SsiolisP]

@@Braapncamp no not Rob, I thought I saw it from you, but I searched your channel and nothing! 🤔

[@Braapncamp]

Oh yes it's there. A day two on the scouting for SKOG. Last years SKOG video is also there.

[@sauliskinnari145]

Nice! Grymt filmat som vanligt 👍 Svårt att förklara vad som gör att det är så kul att köra hoj även utan sällskap, äventyret kanske som gör det? 😀 Värmer upp inför SKOG21 med en tripp till Geiranger till helgen 😁

[@Braapncamp]

Tackar! Wow, det var värst vad du far. Det låter riktigt gott. Geiranger är vackert, vi var där med husbilen på senaste Norgeturen. Husbil eller hoj?

[@sauliskinnari145]

Det blir med hojen 👍 Ja, det har blivit några mil med både hojen o husbilen denna sommaren 😀

[@Braapncamp]

Ja verkligen, ni kom väl hem nyss från medelhavet?

[@shaunlowthian8540]

Hi Mattias, I enjoy watching your adventures and intend doing the Scandinavia TET next year. l’m sure you mention the tarp pole in another video but I can’t find it. Where can I buy one of these, what is the make? Thank you.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks 🙏 The tarp pole is made by MSR and this is the 140cm adjustable length. A great addition to the hammock tarp. Happy trails!

[@tshansen]

Nice to follow you on this adventure Tjommi... but damn that is some serious milage and hours on the bike each day. But I can understand you like to ride, you are doing all the comfort stuff when you are out lyxing with the van 🤣👏🏻 Did you say you got about 7000km out of the Rallz? Can't wait to hear how you like the new tires you put on. Stay safe mate, One more week and you have the main event this year. 🔥 Skål

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks, my pleasure to have you along Tjommi! Yes, something like 7K Km's on the RallZ, have never got that many Km's out of a knob before. Everything from 1500 to 3000Km's is more normal. But the 790 has TC as well, so we have to count in that factor as well. The Deserts is great so far, very curious on how they hold up. SKOG will be cool, but I long for more relaxed adventures coming fall. We should have a party half way from each other 👌

[@tshansen]

@@Braapncamp Well, then I have to bring my axe, crocs, 5 liters of champagne and let's see... did I miss something 🤣

[@Braapncamp]

😂😂👍 That sounds like a plan! everything else we get local 🙌

[@zmoke10]

This Trans Sweden Trail, TST, is it different than TET route?

[@Braapncamp]

Yes indeed! 7200Km's at least only in Sweden. Starts in Smygehuk and has it's northern turningpoint north of Kiruna. Then You go all the way back to the south on the western or the eastern trail.

[@hsaurid]

Mattias, this has been a very good ride. Thank you. Any plans for a weekend fall ride when the leaves are changing colour? It would be great whether by bike or by van.

[@Braapncamp]

Thanks! Definately, first SKOG event then back to weekend vanlife and adventures on the bike. Look forward to relaxed rides with friends or just solo exploring of our surrounding. No plans though and that is great! Just opportunities to take advantage of 👌.

[@donbraham411]

Is that bike the 790?

[@Braapncamp]

Yes it is!
