“Being right is not important”, beautifully said

[@oceandrew]

In the USA that is a foreign concept and as a result there are locked gates EVERYWHERE... but at least we get to be right!!?

[@AlpineTreeCare]

Brilliant. Your best so far, your a true ambassador for your country and motorcycling per se. Respect.

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you!

[@gregreynolds391]

This system works because I suspect the culture of Sweden is one of respect and responsibility. I wish we had that level of respect in America. Once upon a time maybe bit not now..

[@darkiee69]

From what I've seen from TAT it could work in the US too in the urban areas. But that's up to the riders.

[@jonascarlsson9826]

Verkligt fin reklam för Sverige-ADV-körning! You’re a good ambassador of Sweden! Bra jobbat!

[@Braapncamp]

Great walk thru of how we do it Robert! Leave all places in better shape than you found it! Clean area and take the garbage with you. Very professional 👌🏻🔥🤠❤️🇸🇪

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks buddy

[@3angle906]

Actually its true for the whole world

[@Braapncamp]

@@3angle906 Yes, we hope so!

[@lessmore444]

Great info, Robert! Here on Vancouver Island & in BC, much like all of Canada, we share your Swedish basic common sense, respectful approach to the outdoors. Our backroad (logging road) networks are also vast (as is the landscape) & we're perhaps even a little more free to roam once in the wilderness. Going off track is not a problem here. What we don't have is that fabulous network of shelters you Swedes share. That's incredible !There are some here but Sweden has Canada beat by far with that offering.

[@ulfbo]

Thank you so much for sharing this information and tips. Very useful . Saves a lot of time for us when you have done the research. 👍

[@antoniocoutinho511]

Just perfect your useful information. Have gorgeous weekend and stay healthy.

[@mattijsmessely1206]

Perfect timing! Been planning to ride to the North Cape from Belgium through Sweden next summer. Great info! Thanks a lot

[@juggeehrler6126]

Thank you, nice that you mention respect for those who live, animals and nature. As you said, if it's too messy, the road will be closed next time 👍

[@dawidd4817]

What a good and informative video, mate! I think it's time for me to go to Sweden again after 20 years 🤗

[@Patrickleyendeckers]

[@michaelfreuworth5979]

[@stevemccann3976]

That was an excellent introduction to riding in Sweden. Hope I can experience it some day when borders open.

[@leifmartensson3177]

Mycket bra förklaring. Proffsigt, välkomnande, Tack

[@CarlosReguse]

"Being right is not important ", this sounds poetical ...I will explain this to my German boss..:) But now talking seriously, your video is really good...!!Thanks so much for the valuable tips. In fact, we should behave like this everywhere.. Great video...!

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you 😊

[@javablues2642]

Thank you for a very good guide. I'll be going through Sweden on my way from Norway to Finland this summer.👍

[@humoto1]

[@jenslithen6203]

Fantastisk bra information, bra att ni förklarar ens skyldighet att använda naturen.

[@torbjornwiklund9221]

Otroligt bra förklarat

[@Greggspies]

Really informative vlog thanks, your very fortunate having these facilities supplied by your government. Sweden is a very advanced country, I also watch Ran Sailing from Malmö the canals they travel on looks fabulous

[@Strevo]

This video is brilliant and so helpful. Just moved to Gävle, Sweden and about to buy a Tenere. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@biancabaars8988]

We visit Sweden a few times on touring motorbikes. We liked Sweden very much. Next time we will be visiting Sweden on adventure motorbikes and ride on gravel roads. That's why we like this video very much! Thank you for useful information in this video! We also like your other video's 😀

[@angels731]

Excellent information and well presented.

[@SKgeostrat]

Well done Robert! I thnik most of what you said applies to Norway as well! These videos are really important and I am glad you took the time to do it!

[@NomadSweden]

Mange takk!

[@ArvidElstrodt]

Great video. The 'Swedish rules' should be universal. I love forests and gravelroads so Sweden is definitely on my to-do list !

[@MI-9]

Thank you so much, best one I saw until this moment. Very very informative and useful.

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you!

[@Whiteduck72]

Very nice video and explications on Swedish travel , thanks alot !

[@OrdinaryGraveller]

Excellent video, thanks for this! I have found Finnish gravel roads and TET this summer. I have plans to come to Sweden hopefully sometime sooner than later and try the TET and other roads there. I am sure to find Sweden in a completely different way, as happened with Finland on the gravel roads! Great to hear the rules are basically identical to Finland, so should be easy in that sense 👍

[@johangranstrom3753]

You are so professional with a lot more than just the riding part which of course is the best:-). Thanks for all your information you provide us with. Keep up the good work all of you.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks a million :)

[@neilmackinnon3371]

What a fantastic video, thanks for all the info.

[@tshansen]

Alot of really usefull information mate 🔥I have planed to do something similar here in Norway. There are some rules that are really similar in Norway and Sweden, but still there is alot of rules that are somehow different over here. especially when it comes to free camping and what not 🔥Another great video Robert... damn you getting good at this now 👏🏻🏅

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks bud! Yes make a norwegian version! I need it!

[@giedriusindriunas]

Looking forward to learn about Norge, Thomas. Big respect to you guys. Great videos, great content. Regards from Lithuania.

[@kai-uweoch1159]

Yes, it would be great for the next time I’d like to come over to Norway (and are not considered to dangerous, like right now! ;-) ) to know what different rules apply in Norway!

[@teitlarsen4845]

Yes, can only second that. Would be great to know what goes in Norway too Thomas👍🏻

[@tshansen]

Will try to make something informative for you guys. Cheers

[@paulclose3426]

Fantastic information, thank you! Planning TET (with some tar) for Nordkapp this year and your video has been the most helpful so far!

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you! If we helped one it’s all worth it 👍🏻

[@joelpaez833]

[@NomadSweden]

Welcome 🇸🇪

Sweden is awesome! Thanks for the info!

[@J.Bergmanis]

Thanks! Very useful info! 👍Planing to visit Sweden after 10 days and mostly to use gravel and forest roads.

[@richoutdoors8962]

Great video! I get my Tenere in the spring here in CANADA, wish I could ride the trials over in Sweden! Beautiful country!

[@skr2935]

Thank you for a very, very good video! As a dane going to Sweden for gravel-road riding and holidays, this really is the single most useful piece of information on youtube presented in a quiet, informative and professional way, with all the necessary "do's and don'ts. Simply perfect! Keep up the good work!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks neighbour!

[@fountainofyouth5]

Excellent information. I would love to have the opportunity to come and ride in Sweden someday!

[@nkwd007]

I am impreseed, really. With the video and Sweden. You actually made me start thiking to visit. Thank you for sharing all of the info and introducing the values to follow in Your country. Very common sence and practical.

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you, and welcome :)

[@whispard7782]

Thank you very much for the video. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about Sweden! Also good editing skills! :)

[@mortenkd9971]

Tusind tak for info. Det er MEGET brugbart. Jeg kører altid med respekt for natur og mennesker, når jeg er på adventure. Det er bare en kæmpe fornøjelse at være på adventure i Sverige, da man meget tydeligt mærker svenskernes respekt for hinanden og naturen.

[@cooperbiker]

Brilliant video - very helpful indeed.

[@FieldsyADV]

Awesome video. I have never even thought about ADV riding in Sweden and all of a sudden I want to go there!

[@NomadSweden]

Great! Thanks 🙏

[@jameshoward9700]

Great overview, very helpful. Hard to imagine that when I was there in 2010 navigation like this was impossible. How things change! But apart from the wonders of smartphones/internet file sharing, Sweden is a very cool. Great people and outdoors. Friendly, respectful culture. Just be aware of the scale of the country - it takes a long time to get north! ATraffic

[@maxdengler5159]

Tack så mycket för informationen! I'm planning on traveling to sweden next year (if it's safe enough to travel) on my bmw and this video was a very helpful one. I definitely want to have as good of a trip as it can be and not pissing anyone off. Make good memories not ones you might regret. Vi ses i Sverige!

[@NomadSweden]

Välkommen! Travelling to Sweden will be no problem. Perhaps returning to you country will 😊

[@garrycampbell1211]

Great video very informative thanks Garry/Ireland look forward to next one

[@lappi_wojak]

Thank you from Finland! Guru maps is awesome!

[@PhT80]

Thanks for this!! Really useful info also to use and keep in mind here in Finland. Hope to come and explore some of Sweden next summer 👍

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks and welcome :)

[@StefanHessler]

I've just got back from Sweden. I saw your video before and now I enjoyed it again :-) I can only recommend everyone to do it EXACTLY as it is explained in the video. i'm enthusiastic about sweden, about nature and your tracks and your work. the track is really very beautiful, i would even say lovingly designed (i can say that, we do something like that in germany). the additional information is worth its weight in gold. Perfect. thanks for this great job!

[@NomadSweden]

Big thanks 🙏

[@jb-lu4vo]

A great help this video. Of course, although it is common sense to respect other people and their place of residence, it never hurts to remember it. I hope to one day be able to travel those roads and gravel roads, when this Covid-19 ends and if I'm still alive, haha. Thank you very interesting information and take care.

[@0xBACA]

Excellent info. Sweden is on my visit and roam around list. Greetings from the south of the Baltic.

[@NomadSweden]

And south Baltic is on our roam list 😊 cheers

[@jannehamalainen889]

Thanks for a good and informative video Robert! If anyone is intrested I can add that everything you said about Sweden is pretty much the same here in Finland. Just different sources for maps and places and maybe a little less cabins and such for sleeping. The tricky part with gravel roads is that you most likely don't know if you are on a publicly funded or a fully private road. But if you take it easy and be polite it won't be a problem either way (for you or for anyone else).

[@kai-uweoch1159]

Excellent summary, I linked it to my FB page. Imagine my surprise when I was asked yesterday at one of the shelters why I didn’t ride my bike all the way forward on the hiking path. Because 1) IT IS a hiking path and 2) it’s within a nature reserve! Not all Swedes have that understanding of those very simple rules!

[@markuswitschard4271]

Thanks for these useful Information

[@holefer]

Really good guide, well done.

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

👍👍👍 Really good information and also very well made.

[@russellnapier3884]

Excellent info, great video..

[@garymedin690]

Greetings from Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota! THANK YOU for the great information here - very useful. Will help me greatly when I ride through Sweden, Norway...(and more!) this Summer. Perhaps I will see you on the road.

[@robertsmith4466]

Excellent how to ride Sweden. Thanks so much for the great information. I always wanted to do a ride from UK to Nordkapp and now will be on my adventure bike not my road bike.

[@marekvysocan]

Thank you very much for useful information 😊

[@edelrabe]

Thank you, now I know where to go with my next trip.

[@MrPepsilon]

The most comprehensive info and advice I have seen about adventure riding here in Sweden. It is not uncommon to pass through very close between a farmers barn and his/hers house so lower your speed, show respect and be polite.

[@gqren0]

Great video, and great country to go graveling in!

[@rfk76]

Superb content! Thank you. Very informative and useful. Makes me want to cross the Baltic Sea north next summer :) cheers!

[@kemalgultan2540]

Great job! Very very helpful!

[@patrus3475]

Tack för en bra beskrivning.

[@drdoolittle5724]

I thought UK was sophisticated but you guys make us appear prehistoric! Good on you and thanks!

[@411shammy]

Very informative, nice to know these things if we come from the uk. thanks

[@motoric5188]

Excellent. An excellent life lesson, that should be applied elsewhere too. If only more people would be so humble and respectful, we would live in a much nicer world. Great video thank you for sharing!
