Ice fishing without nicotine.

Coffee from Lemmelkaffe.com
The third entry of my "videodiary" that I call The Woodpecker's Will. Some sort of creative outlet.
This one is about Ice Fishing, Nicotine Addiction, River Test, my hillbilly friend and former campion in compeditive Ice Fishing, Jacksson Winter. Also a littel from my anthropology friend, the elitist fly flyfisher, Peter Christensen.

[@everest001]

This episode is Vintage Nylinder. Acute observation, wisdom and suffering. Don’t you dare stop making these!

[@clratschan]

“Elitism is a little bit like a box of snus. It is very disgusting, unless you use it yourself” You made my evening‼

[@imraduin]

I got rid of my addiction. I still take a cig or two when I'm out fishing but that's about it. I get to enjoy it when it is the best it can be, with a coffee in the forest, and then I put it away. Everything in moderation. I hope when summer approaches you pick up the Kokkaffe Diaries again, those are my favourites ❤️ (after the big trips)

[@joncampbell3641]

Hi Rolf, I enjoy all your films. There is philosophy, poetry, cinematography and fishing! Thank you for sharing your angels and demons with us !

[@thememorybank2623]

A friend once gave me an apt description for nicotine addiction: "All we do when we smoke is alleviate a discomfort we in the first place created and help maintain. It's like pinching yourself constantly just to experience the relief of no longer being pinched" I haven't been a smoker for many years now. A fun fact about nicotine, your brain continuously creates more receptors, the same way with any addiction, which is why we crave more the more we use. The interesting thing about nicotine is those receptors never die, they just hibernate. So even if 10 years go by and you have one evening when you decide to take a drag of a smoke or a pouch of snus, all the receptors wake right back up, and it's like you never stopped. That is why the saying "A drag away from a pack a day" is so accurate. I believe in you Rolf. You'll beat it.

[@rongreen1538]

Keep up the fight, getting rid of that addiction will be a very good thing, I’m crossing my fingers for your success.

[@andersr2696]

Rolf.. You can get rid of the snus, but please, don’t you ever stop making videos. It’s an irregular fix, but the addiction is real.

[@michaelwosahlik8393]

Absolutely love your videos man! Just beautifully done artwork. Besides that I fish, skateboard, snowboard, I‘m a musician, I love nature, I‘m studying bats, I like to ask questions about life and I love northern Europe. So I couldn‘t ask for more. Tack.

[@AlgirdasAkelaitis]

my addictions taught me a lesson of small victories appreciation - one day, or even one hour being free and not falling back is already a small, but undisputable victory. keep it up, bro! and that "ice fishing is not an activity" line made me really happy, I laughed out loud :)

[@Stefnfurryfriends]

Thank you so much to go freezing for us 😂! I enjoyed every second of the video, just not the too fast coming end 😝. I never was Ice fishing, but would love to do one day… looking forward to the next video! 😍 take care, and have a good time

[@orlixx]

I got rid of two terrible addictions. Outside the community of people with the same problem, my family helped me because they did not give me the comfort to prolong my life with addictions. The second thing that makes me "free" is not making big plans, but repeating every morning resolution not to get "sick" in the next 24 hours. Unfortunately, I also had to stop fishing... YOU ARE A MASTER OF FILM EDITING - and these out-of-focus moments - WONDERFUL!!!Thank you 🐟

[@kl755]

"Ice fishing is not an activity. It's a way to spend time." I love it! 👏😅👌

[@metamera]

"Ice fishing is not really an activity, it's a way to spend time until spring arrives", lät lite som John Lennons (tror jag) gamla citat "Life is what happens to you while you are busy doing other plans". Världsklass! Även om jag råkar tycka att pimpelfiske också är jäkligt roligt, precis som alla andra former av fiske. Hade varit enklare utrustningsmässigt om man bara hade en sorts fiske att syssla med.

[@Stefnfurryfriends]

Had to watch it a second time 😂. Your voice in combination with the video is just too relaxing 🤷‍♀️. You should put out new videos every day, for all stressed people to calm down when coming home 😂👍. I hope you let us follow your way to the next to be ice fishing champion 😍, daily practice is great, all recorded of course 🤣

[@brunniv3985]

Keep going! Proud of you from afar. Your family will be immensively thankful too.

[@meyermind5917]

I envy you so much as a german with no real access to ice fishing lakes. Went to the Burusjön near Idre once and it was one of the best fishing experiences I ever had, it is so special. Also good luck with your quitting :)

[@axellundgren6151]

Det är mysigt och väldigt trevligt att du gillar att umgås med kameran Rolf. Då får jag möjlighet att umgås med dig och dela dina äventyr. Det är trevligt och mysigt. Speciellt när jag hamnar i mina perioder då jag inte gör så mycket. Tack

[@kflouride]

Exactly the same for me. I don't love to ice fish, but winter is long here too.

[@kgw5000]

Amazing as always! Thank you for this and everything you have done. You always put a smile on my face when you uplead something new.

[@AugustKupfer]

I love winter. Not this year though. I'm ready for Jackson Spring. Beautiful video!

[@pippinsplayhouse2360]

Your videos have brought me through some rough times. Thanks for making all of them 🎣

[@s.pepper1833]

Don’t forgot the fish whistle and you’re good!

[@JapanJimmy]

Yes Rolf’s on, thankyou so much, 10pm in Tokyo knocked off work looking forward to watching this one

[@martinlawrence8427]

Superb...a lovely treat to see me through til the flies come out!

[@JapanJimmy]

Wow great end to the video there, food for the family and food for thought on the stream ecosystem. Good to hear from Peter, I wonder if Peter is still wearing his custom tweed cap from Floating Flies on the River Test back in 2020. Great ending there. Best from Tokyo

[@RolfNylinder]

Glad you enjoyed it🙏

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

I love your films. Really refreshing content and YT is lucky to have it here. Keep it up please. :)

[@tinoyb9294]

Your subtle humor is the best! Thanks!

[@articchar-lf]

A huge fly fisherman sent me here. Nice to meet you!

[@lucaskemmerling3151]

Hi Rolf, I quit this year too. I also started ice fishing this year and have been loving it. keep it up!

[@vindawg101]

We love your videos Rolf. These winter ones are great too!

[@patricktillard]

Best films on the internet.

[@robertcross6834]

you are right about ice fishing, filling time till open water and steelhead for me, trout for you. great video. perch are delicious.

[@shinuizabusa2180]

That video hit me with good melancholic vibes. I was a heavy smoker too and had to lose some important people before i realized not to shorten my lifespan myself. I still take a ciggy or two when fishing. Very proud of you taking a big step Rolf 💪 all the best and love from Austria buddy

[@elphredzo]

I love Peter too, but when he is making fun of you quitting your addiction, dont listen to him! I have also just quit snus😱 another great page in the Diary❤️

[@fridaolofsson9127]

Älskar dina videos Rolf, du är grymt duktig! Sen är alla dessa videos med bästa Jacksson något lite extra 👌 Man blir som så glad, lättsam och varm i själen när man får "följa med" på era fiskeäventyr. Fortsätt kämpa på med att sluta me nikotinet, you can do it!

[@skippylippy547]

Rolf. Your videos make me very happy. Thank you.

[@benfox7838]

As always 😊. I love getting the notification of a new video from you. They're the perfect little life enlightenment I need when 👍 If you have no nicotine in your veins, it will most definitely make you a better fisherman 😂

[@058thegodfatherlwd]

I love the music that you use in combination with the shots of the scenery, it really makes me mis the magic atmosphere of Scandinavia.

[@blackflycreations]

Thanks Rolf, now I know my videos suck even worse. Another master piece👌 Barbastella Bats, No nicotine and ice fishing! Can't wait for the next episode. Come to the US and teach me how to create. Cheers from USA✌️

[@skin_like_iron]

As always a little masterpiece. Your Videos helps me through the dark days of Winter. Take it easy

[@troutfishintrucker3527]

Great video, friends are everything when losing an addiction. Good luck!!

[@LouisThiell]

Thanks for making this video, it makes me very happy!

[@w.e.5727]

I enjoy the way you portray Jacksson in your videos. Confident, effortless and a bit mysterious. A good opponent to your struggle. Hope that these comments will help you through this.

[@RolfNylinder]

Thanks. We’ll see.

[@Stickinit]

"Streams are fu@#$%* important" well said.

[@eliastorheiden821]

I quit after 10+ years smoking. It took many failures. Satisfying to say you stopped.

[@eliastorheiden821]

It has the added benefit of allowing you to be super elitist. Now not only were you so cool you were using nicotine, you were so cool you quit. Youre very special.

[@RolfNylinder]

Haha, true. Hope I will be able to say that at some point.

[@treydej8377]

Sincerely enjoy every film that you post. I’m trying to recall if you have posted a video on your trip to Halford’s section of the River Test? I was able to catch a native brown on a section of the test on a mayfly pattern during a small mayfly hatch last summer, and was told by an old Englishman, “it’s all downhill from here for ya”. I will go search your channel now for that, although I do think I remember one that included the book “dry flies and how to use them” or something like that and a very unfortunate event including bamboo and a tree and not “minding the rod”. Maybe I am thinking of another, anyways thanks for posting! God bless you and your family, Rolf.

[@RolfNylinder]

Yeah. I’ve never fished Halfords section, just visited. It’s in the video Floating Flies.

[@treydej8377]

@@RolfNylinder thank you, Rolf!

[@jamesdick9153]

Thanks for your musings rolf, maybe you need a winter perch addiction instead. Good luck staying off the snus

[@michaelsunderlik638]

Congratulations on kicking your nicotine addiction. Very difficult. I still have one. I’m new to your channel. I’m enjoying it very much. Thanks.

[@RolfNylinder]

Thank you! I’ve made a few tries before…

[@user-uc8hr5vp1l]

Thank you Rolf excellent work as always

[@Adipper]

Long live nicotine free diaries, spring summer fall winter, river bats, and Action Jacksson. Nice Perch Rolf, ya da!!

[@stixgrim8064]

Where is the snus, are you out? Good luck!! And awsome to see another video :D I had a good breakfast and now im putting in a fresh Lundgrens Norrland. Doing it for all of us!!

[@RolfNylinder]

Enjoy!

[@patriciomccoubreyalvarez951]

I quit nicotine nearly 4 years ago. It will get easier then you will never crave it again. Good video once again. Thank you

[@use1kcf]

Good job Rolf! It is worth it! I finally quit smoking for good about three years ago after many tries. I tried a Zyn pouch a frined had on a long drive and felt like throwing up! Think I'm cured.

[@DrDeepstack]

Gonna make some coffee and watch this! Be right back

[@Pwrcritter]

Another addiction for me lol.

[@Gratandinorr]

Haaj, tack för videon, lycka med antisnus, vet hur svårt det är. Få har provat sluta med drogen kaffe, jag har provat, funkar inte bra. Eld, fiske, kaffe, en livsdrog i Lappland! Hälsning från Västerbottens inland.

[@vadims4589]

Thank you, great video. Especially this time, world has been changed, less and less places where you can stay along with self and nature. Spring comes soon…. That’s is great news

[@janholesovsky5605]

Stay strong in your mind and heart. Just every morning and evening imagine all you can loose if you do not stop and all you get by stopping. Simple routine. I’am clear of all bad habits for 15 months now. Works well. Going fishing this Saturday, first go this year. 🙏🏻💪🏼❤️

[@driftlessangler23]

Thanks for the great video! Ice fishing is tough with out some kind of drug or alcohol! Good for you, keep with it!

[@troutwardbound]

Loved it

[@Bd-vl2ft]

I need this thumbnail pic in my life. Funny beautiful.

[@chrisbajema8002]

What a great morning to see you’ve posted a new video, I wasn’t let down. I’d say keep summer Jackson away from winter Jackson, they look up to no good haha. Yes it’s up to you to keep it alive for the future generations and your doing a great service with these diaries

[@MachoMuchosMuchachos]

Winter ha you think we forgot about your trip deep in African jungles or mountains or heels😅

[@msubotic11]

Hibernation... o yeah... I thought often about that... wish I could do it from oktober to april... no joy in winter... no joy in nicotine... good luck with your snus quit...

[@jandoege8781]

Genius like always.

[@alangojanovic6137]

You deserve a lot more subscribes!

[@DonMiguelinside]

Good luck! You will be fine!

[@bsaggers90]

Asså Rolf du är fan bäst. Inte bäst på att sluta snusa men dina filmer är fantastiskt. Mega tack, och fortsätt!

[@olivertwist4407]

Congratulations, you have one addiction already - fly fishing- which will provide positive things for the rest of your life. You need to overcome your nicotine addiction which will reduce your life span (especially in the form of snooze) and hence your fly fishing experiences

[@teowestin3708]

“Streams are fucking important” han säger det som ett knytnäveslag med godhet, gillart. Inne på 2 månader utan snus blir enklare, fortsätt kämpa!

[@truchaazul]

BAT SHIT CRAZY, it's what we do. Carry on!

[@chrisditchburn8337]

Stick with mate you won’t regret it 💪

[@teamstoorn]

Kul med filmer från Ume! Skulle gärna göra liknande men de är ju det här med att ta sig tid :)

[@loosieclocker]

Love Rolf

[@Jxnxthn.nt07]

Great Video as always, but where did you film the endpart in the Summer?

[@RolfNylinder]

It is Halford’s cabin, by River Test. I filmed that in 2019 i think.

[@Thomas-tf4cm]

I know the struggle the combination fishing and smoking. Is so relaxing for me. Nevertheless i did quit, it was hard but now iam fine. I still drink alcohol. I wish i could experience some icefishing but since there is no ice the last years its not going to happen anytime soon 😂

[@arjandevries5445]

Good luck, the urge for a sigarette only lasts 3-5 minutes. So, when you think about smoking just do something else for a few minutes. The nicotine left your body for a very large part after just 3 days. Never ever smoke again, you'll enjoy it...

[@alexredhat3476]

Super nice Movie. So did you drop smoking? Now you can save money and buy more video equipment.

[@RolfNylinder]

Never really been smoking. Trying to drop the snus.

[@haraldgasterud7149]

After ca 45 years I quit smoking - no problem. BUT I use nicotine gum. Better than snus 😁

[@georgefairweathermoonlight4]

streams are fucking important,

[@DanAnderssonOksman]

The first couple of rest of your life will be the hardest to go through

[@nathanankersen4695]

4:13 😂

[@mitchelldenysschen3224]

Ha ha! Had to move to New Zealand to kill my Snus addiction (don’t get it here). Was on a tub of Siberia Red / day for the last 4 years of the 10Year Snus affair. Was fucking tough if I’m honest and I had crazy physical withdrawals.

[@RolfNylinder]

I stopped for a season in New Zealand once. But started as soon as I got back home.

[@dv594]

Please alaborate on how that is done....

[@thunderboya2571]

ALWAYS use FISHING 🎣 It's a great Tool

[@torbendinesen7121]

Skønt en ny upload fra Rolf, giv os mere ❤
