Island Camp And Canoe With Our Two Dogs

My son and I went canoe camping with our two dogs on a beautiful island here in Norway. It was the first time out in a canoe for them both, but I think they did great!

[@tundraterrain140]

my problem would be going to a little island like that and not wanting to leave 🤣

[@nancysalerno7036]

I always said that about Hawaii , still haven’t been there but now I think I would be claustrophobic stuck in the middle of the ocean.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Looked like a great Father/Son time.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you. Honoured to have you here!

[@theimperialist2686]

A day out enjoying nature and canoeing with your dogs, looks to help another great video Bjorn.

[@theimperialist2686]

Meant to say to be

[@dianebesand425]

Was going to save this video for the morning, but couldn't resist. Feline is very beautiful and sweet. She did well. Elvis was showing off for his sister. This channel is a hit. Glad I watched it tonight. Going to sleep with a smile on my face.

[@tomg6333]

Norway is such a beautiful country, I hope to visit one day.

[@hffvvhthhj2690]

You are right. That's what I would to do, too. What a great nature.

[@michaelcase9270]

Really love you site, insight and humor. Thank you. One day hope to read your work when they are in English.

[@bogwench2433]

Stunning scenery and beautiful dogs! Thank you for taking us with you on your outing 😃

[@peggyschmidt7715]

So Beautiful and peaceful, nothing like camping and enjoying nature and all it has to offer. ❤✌

[@radiationraven]

Elvis is my new “celebrity,” I love taking my dog Murphy out in the woods! They make such fantastic travel companions, even when they try to hog the sleeping pad. 😬

[@MarkPillow]

the kids sport those survival suits well.

[@tonysmith5924]

It’s good to camp with family members, we have a fall camp out planned again this year, if all our family comes, it will be 15 of us, my wife, 2 sons and one daughter and a total of 7 grandchildren!

[@adrianwhite2310]

Shiva.. the destroyer..is my Belgian malinois name..best loyal friend in this world, fixing up a Mercedes to camper soon..plan is to move from Ireland to Scandinavia a.s.p. I have a 6 year old son I did not see for almost 2 years. Due to his narcissist mother. Hope one day he knows how much I love him. ( Great video,life is beautiful when you have your son in it).

[@DG-ic9ub]

Beautiful scenery. You wouldn't need a canoe for my English Springer Spaniel. He would simply swim along side you 🙂👍

[@docwil2541]

This made me smile. When it popped up the first thing I thought of was the book. Two men in a boat, to say nothing of the dog. If you haven't read it, give it a read. In this age of stress it is something fun for your brain. I have to dash into work. I'll watch this tonight to help your hours.

[@michaelcase9270]

Meant to add here in Arkansas, USA we have islands like this in our lakes. Great to camp and scuba dive

[@kookietherapy9398]

Yeah, but you have Snakes!

[@dotexe55games31]

It sure looks amazing, many thanks for this video. Elvis has now left the island.

[@greghart6310]

Elvis the sailor! He looked like he was about to jump overboard for a swim

[@BjornOutdoors]

He almost did.

[@jdlvtrn1]

I've gone canoeing with a couple of malamutes - the paddle helps keep them in a down position so they don't tip you over. Dogs are natural swimmers and especially appreciate it in hot weather.

[@DeexPx]

You found a little piece of paradise, such a beautiful view

[@shewearswoolsocks2883]

Really crisp clear pictures especially of the water, shows the beauty of the area so well. Adorable dogs, so darn cute in their orange gear! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! Cheers!

[@margomaloney6016]

I love that fact that you took both dogs with you! They get the joy of your company and the thrill of a new environment with awesome smells! Thanks for sharing!

[@bradleysmith9253]

Thanks Bjorn, had a great time and I didn't get wet. Cheers. 😎🏄🌈🇦🇺

[@decapolis01]

I took my son kayak camping this year. He loved it and it was fun teaching him things I have learned over my life! Its something we should do more.

[@starlight1867]

Such a beautiful island and lake Bjorn, I am never happier than near water and loved the sound of the gentle lapping against the shoreline. Your dogs are lovely-My friend has had 3 rescue dogs of this breed which have been retired after racing and they are really gentle creatures but full of life! My late husband always made “sausages on sticks” when we camped here in the North of the U.K. - you made me long for the smell of them cooking over the open fire 🔥 Do take us with you often 😔

[@scottengh1175]

Another beautiful spot. Dogs have lots of spirit.

[@johngrant5448]

What a beautiful and peaceful place to camp, you are so fortunate to be able to do that undisturbed. In Britain we would need to be vigilant against flooding, high winds and intruders, making sure that our camp can't be seen by passing bandits.

[@GrasslandsG81]

Haha, at 39 years old, I'm starting to really feel it the next day when I sleep on a simple canvas ground cover... In 10 years, I'm sure I'll be bringing inflatable mattresses, too!

[@kaincartledge9916]

Hi mate I am a young man age 24 from Britain and I love watching your vids and have learnt much from them and have learnt much from them and I wish you all the best.

[@theanimalsmagicshop4785]

What a gorgeous place to camp. Feline is beautiful and was such a good girl. Without video proof, I find it hard to believe though that Elvis was anything but an angel in the canoe judging by the trip back. He even assumed the role of Viking masthead for you, perfectly balanced, and showing such a calm demeanor. It was probably water turbulence that was causing him to look like he was fooling around on the trip out. Thanks for the video - it made me smile.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, and I now understand that all he wanted was to stand right up at the bow, Viking style!

[@mysterymachine6858]

you and your family are good people, bjorn. 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻 shch a beautiful outing, thanks for filming and sharing 💜💙💜

[@milikic95]

I love these types of videos, makes me feel like im out there myself. Glad you had a nice time and hope you don't stop making these!

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

Many Thanks Bjorn and your Son and those Fine Looking Dogs! What a beautiful place on our Mother Earth! Much Enjoyed! Peace and Joy! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@ctheflower7818]

They did good, Dad ☺️

[@rupertthebusdriver8997]

Your patience with the dogs is outstanding!

Beautiful location. Priceless "Dad & Son" time. Lol the dogs' orange jump suits lol.

Your dogs look so sweet! I really want to get all of my future pets from rescue shelters. Best wishes~ :)

Simply beautiful and so very nurturing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Island camp, birds call Sausage on a stick, sizzling Glorious summer.

[@noahowenst]

Love to see the classic idun ketchup! This reminds me of me and my dad just canoeing and kayaking the little islands by Sandnessjøen, can’t wait to go back into Norway, your channel has given me the spirit to go back into the outdoors and bushcrafting again! Tusen Takk!!

[@BjornOutdoors]

That is awesome!

[@1Rene9Night5cart0]

What wondrous, variable and speechless Beauty is your Land of Norway, Bjorn. I wish i could have visited it in this lifetime. Thanx for the next best thing in your videos!

[@deliadeitzimdead]

I lol'd at the hat bowl.😄👍🐕🐕

Love these videos, so peaceful and relaxing. That looks like a great spot ! Amd how fun taking the doggies with all their special gear as well 👌🌳🧚‍♂️💕

[@feth7747]

My dear Bjorn.... What could be more perfect???

[@MrCochise71]

Nothing beats the great outdoors..

Beautiful island. I can feel the peace. Priceless!!!!

[@noahriding5780]

That water looks very blue and clear. Very nice scenery.

[@lmsavy2935]

Row, Row Row your boat. Beautiful, Love the lake. Glad the dogs liked it. Sausage over the flame is good. Tranquil, peace, birds can't ask more than no stress camping the woods. Love the bright Orange dog clothes- to see them better. How faris this island from your home? I love fishing. Do you see anyone else camping? Nice video Bjorn.

[@dutchgram3799]

When you were walking around the island and the birds were squawking I thing the were asking the rest of the wild life if they have ever seen other wildlife that were neon orange? I love that the dogs are building that trust and are enjoying the outdoors.

[@trueheartintent]

Amazingly clear skies and clear waters! Been on one hike so far, thanks to you.

[@fearthehoneybadger]

Orange dog good.

[@andreawheatley5528]

I love being outdoors and in nature, I'm an earth girl. The birds are talking to you.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, Andrea. They really do!

[@ziagabia5524]

Beautyful landscape, lovely dogs, thank you Bjorn 👍

[@nancysalerno7036]

Such a wonderful relaxing spot. Not sure if you can find it in America . Most camping hard with dogs and you would need a bear box or haul up for food. Not only bears but raccoons are a plague in places. Wonderful to take us to this tranquil place. Thank you

[@martystacey4429]

How wonderful🤗😎..... Some discreet shots of you and your son would be very cool too. If it helps, I have two sons who I miss doing these same things with😉 (they are 24 and 27) KTF🙏

[@1eyedwilly772]

I really have enjoyed watching you taking the dogs out camping, its really helped me chill out watching your videos and progress with them, im inspired to go hiking with my dog.

[@paulworgan6599]

Good Dogs!!!!

Beautiful dogs and gorgeous scenery Bjorn. I love hiking river and creeks with my Blue Heeler in Tennessee. I enjoy your adventures and words of wisdom.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you very much, Jules.

[@missybennett600]

wonderful get away with the son and puppies

[@hermesgeko]

Your son was making me laugh with the over shoulder look... my daughter gives me the same look. lol The doggos are adorable! It was absolutely beautiful to look at and I must admit I am a little jealous of such a beautiful place. lol I'm only 36 and I have always hated those little foam pads. I would rather find soft ground, sleep in a hammock, or bring an air mattress. Yes, I'm a sensitive girl. lol Those foam pads have never been useful for me and it's only gotten worse as I've gotten older. lol I've done a lot of camping with my kids. It's one of the best activities in my opinion.

[@KenMoss]

Mid summer weekend, known as juhannus in Finland. God I miss that place.

[@yellowbeard9958]

Glad to see the dogs having a good life 😊 fantastic views .ho to sleep on our own island...deep joy .trout on toast 👌

[@Myviewingtime07]

Beautiful dogs 🐕. Beautiful island, is there a name for it ?

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks! A secret island in the Pea Forest (directly translated from Norwegian).

[@Billyboy571]

Wow! This is truly an inspirational video of what life is about and an antidote to the times we find ourselves unfortunately living in, keep up the great work spreading the message Bjorn🙏

You are so lucky to live in such a truly beautiful country, that scenery is stunning! I could quite easily pack up right now & go & live on that island. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with us. Oh & it was lovely to see you with both dogs together this time too 🙂

Thanks for including us with your camp out. I loved it. You take very good care of your dogs, love their wardrobe. I would love to camp out like that but don't feel safe with human behavior to put it nicely. I trust no one at this point from what I've experienced and what I see what people have turned into. It's sad 😢 and makes me angry it limits what I do or don't do.

You seem to be a shy man to this terrible world, except on KZbin . It would be nice to see your family members. Just a small glimpse of your son. It would be nice to see his comments. But as a grandfather. I understand the inhabit ions of youth. Which is sad. Loved the video, a great place to camp. Wish you liked fishing as a Viking would. Robby Au.
