Hot Tent Camping in EXTREME COLD Temperatures... Or Not? | FAILED!

[@CitrouilleCitron]

Matti, thank you so so so much for these 4 days. It has been a wonderful trip

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks for joining us on this trip. Without guests like you, this lifestyle has been impossible!!! 😃 I can really understand that it must be hard to come back to a ’normal life’ after some days on the trails with the huskies. That’s the reason why I’m doing this as my daily life. 😃 Take care and I hope I’ll see both of you in the future! /Matti

Always nice to watch your great videos and especially your sweet and amazing dogs!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you! Happy to hear you like them.

[@Clarabel70]

Wonderful, what an experience for those guests! 'Glamping' ! 😂 It's all relative I suppose...!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Hahahaaaa… But a tent with beds must be glamping… 😂 /Matti

[@marcdaigle1163]

With all the energy you have, everyday... You must eat spinach, from Popeye... The dog, sitting next you, on your video, was so goofy happy...🐶

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I’m not always full of energy. Last night (out on tour again) I got headache and was tired. I didn’t sleep well the night before and I wasn’t drinking enough. But I got energy from doing what I love to do. :-) I so very often stop up and feel very great full of my life… That’s also gives energy. …and remember that I edit the videos by myself. 🤣 /Matti

[@martineschillen8053]

Hej Matti, I love to watch your videos, Last year in march I did a long dogsledding tour with you and your dogs and it was absolut amazing. Next year I will do a tour with you and the dogs again, l'm looking forward to it. I love to do things myself and your dogs are such good sleddingdogs and so lovely, I loved my dogteam so much. I am travelling now for three months in my husbil in Sweden, and next week I will arrive in Jokkmokk. Vi ses, Martine

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Welcome back to the north! I look forward to next winter. :-) Next week I’m probably out on the trail again. 😃 /Matti

Thanks!

I't been raining ice here mostly. I thought we was gonna have snow last weekend... Nope, freezing rain. I got stuck on the sidewalk the other day, it was a tiny hill, I felt like i was doing the moonwalk.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

🤣 I know the moonwalk situation… /Matti

[@azclaimjumper]

I like that you showed the first names of your guests at the end of this video. I hope you will continue to do this in future videos. You might consider adding which Country each is from. I was highly amused at your use of the word "glamping". Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

When we have guests I usually say their names or write them in the end of the video… or maybe I have forgot that sometimes!?!? It’s a super idea to put the country there also!!! /Matti

[@waldlaufering631]

I have every tour a good workout with only two huskies 😁 I hope the new one like to pull, too 😂

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The new once love to work!!! :-) / Matti

Skulle vara intressant att se en jämförelse av modern tält med kamin och ett militärtält med kamin som ganska många har erfarenhet av.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Det är en jättebra idé!!! Super tack. Det får bli efter min vintersäsong. Det är ganska likvärdigt. Däremot är dagens tält lite snabbare/enklare att få upp och de väger mindre. En nackdel med militär tälten är att de släpper inte ut ljus utan de blir väldigt mörka! /Matti

[@ZaryaTheLaika]

If it helps, Cervus canadensis is wapiti. I dont know why Brits call every large deer an elk though

[@ZaryaTheLaika]

Ah, same word in Swedish. But yes, very strange British settlers called every large deer an elk

[@samhill3496]

Liked the vid very much. Some moderate weather is nice for clients who may have never experienced anything like it. The could get fooled on the next one with minus 40. You never know north of the Circle what it could turn out to be. Like to do that too. Gitty up doggies. All good Matti. From mildly cold and snowy east Kentucky USA Next time

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s also nice for me if it’s not too low temperatures!!! 🤣 /Matti

[@George-gg1ny]

Hello, you always have the novice in your thoughts with great advice and tips. It really hit home, when you were travelling that vast freezing wilderness, and darkness much how lonely it can feel at times. Think your lifestyle will disappear to replace with snow mobile tourists, travelling not far around popular trails and back to the comfort of the hotel with 3 corse meals anytime soon ? Whats your take on that ? Wishing you and yours health, success to continue your peaceful lifestyle.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! In one way you have the same thought as me but at the same time not… I totally agree. The way we are doing this will disappear because of two reasons. 1. No one will work like this with up to 150 days in a year on overnight trips. 2. The guests will not be fit enough to make this real tours. But I think that they still will make dogsled tours but only 30 min or maximum 2 hours… /Matti

[@George-gg1ny]

​@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Thank you for replying and sharing your thoughts on this subject. You mention how hard the loggers worked, but you really do a lot of work too, requiring energy, will power in harsh climate and give much pleasure to others, a feeling of freedom with old traditional lifestyle in the mix with modern, even if it's just once in there life time. Many also appreciate your kind heart, sharing your well earned knowledge to others free, to be safe. il never forget the video you made of the the knowledge needed just to get a car started in winter, that shocked me a little.

[@emilhusby4074]

Hey, i like your videos. I learn alot. Im going on a 14 days trip with my 6 dogs, and because we have little snow and mild temp, in norway. Im tinking about jokkmokk/sarek. I wonder if you have any tips for a route through the forest and a good gateway to Sarek. with dog sled. how are the snow conditions now? maybe I can follow the royal trail for a bit. etc. Emil

[@mushercdn]

Are your Gang lines poly or cable? No straw or boughs for the dogs? I am always surprised by how clear your forest is. Thanks for the video.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The gang line is made of iron cable that’s covered with rope. Straw is really good but we don’t have it. We can’t leave it in the nature. Now I start thinking about dry grass. It disappears faster than straw. We use dog jackets when it’s colder. /Matti

[@mushercdn]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I've used fir tree branches, but straw is better. If you can use dry grass, you might be able to use hay. That works well, too. I already used cable covered in plastic but I stopped. The plastic held in the water and the cable rusted from the inside out. Runaway team on the start! I just use bare cable now. -25 C. with a stiff wind today. We'll be running dogs and tapping trail with the snow mobile in an hour or so.

[@Matejnestak]

Hej hej Matti and Stina, thank you for your videos, it is a great entertainment for us while we are eating a lunch or diner. We know Sweden quite well because we worked couple months down south in Linkoping. But we never traveled more north than Ostersund. Our wish is to go more north and have fika with you and Stina one day. We love Scandinavia and the nature there. Thats why we spent in total 3 months (not in a row) traveling trough Sweden and Norway in our small camper van. We are always happy to return. For a nature and camping lover it is a paradise. I really hope that we meet you one day. Maybe this April. Do you take volunteers for some help ? We have a tip for a new video which you can make. It might be interesting to film how the dog sleds works (break, steering, whatever) Some technical part of driving a dog team. How much time it take to dress a team. What is a control over them. If it is just a training, so they realy STOP. Or you have some hidden trick. How the sled is heavy, what weight can pull your dogs, stuff like this :-) I don't know if somebody would like video like that. But maybe it would be helpful for a guest who want to visite you. I would like it a lot because I worked on a horse ranch in Canada, Rocky mountains as a horse teamster, driving a wagon. But I have no big experience with dogs. Thank you for your effort. Take care and good luck in life Matej and Lenka greetings from Czech Republic

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Hello! It’s exactly how we also use KZbin. A video while having breakfast. 😃 Östersund… That’s where I am from. 70km west of Östersund. It’s a great idea for a video. The reason why we have hesitated is because it’s a very narrow niche. I agree totally with you. It’s probably really interesting for our guests. I have to make that kind of video… Thanks for input!!! Take care! /Matti in Jokkmokk

[@megalep7025]

When using a stove in the tent and with several people in there, do you usually have a CO(carbonmonoxide)-alarm device? I'm always a little anxious when using a heat source in my tent because of all the stories I've heard about people dying. Even after some decades of camping I have this in my mind. So I usually have ventiles open completely, but then it doesn't get so warm inside.

[@warrenstanford7240]

I use a Tentipi tent which uses Polycotton fabric which is breathable but has vents for air supply to stove, always use a CO monitor.👍

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The Arctic Lavvo we are using have ventilation and the fabric is polycotton that let some air through. I haven’t been worried until last week… I’m editing the video… Sorry for the cliffhanger… 😉 /Matti

[@sybilkent4913]

New food for my dreams to once travel to th arctic...

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

[@LoremIpsum1970]

It's only a fail if you go nowhere! Didn't look all that warm to me, but we've only had on day of snow so far this year 😥 Q. outer layering: is that like you' do with sleeping bags, with the Rab and the ME jackets, ie synthetic down (ME) over natural down (Rab)?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

That’s true! Going nowhere is a failure! 😃 To answer your question… That’s exactly why I got two jackets! It’s also easier to moderate the layers when I’m working, have to run long uphill or staying still while crossing big lakes etc. /Matti

Not much of the tent

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Do you think people want to see more? I can make more videos about it later when I have used it more. Then I can tell you if it’s good or bad. Thanks for input. /Matti

​@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNAWould be cool to compare products made for Canadian weather vs Nordic. Tikka is the most popular hunting brand here (along with other well known Finnish house names) because American gears stop working in -30C
