Solo Female Adventure | Wild Camping & Hiking in Padjelanta National Park Swedish Lapland

A solo female adventure in Padjelanta National Park. In end of July I, Stina, packed my backpack and went for a 4 day solo hike along the northern part of the Padjelanta trail. In this video you will get to see the trail and learn a bit about the Sami culture in this area. You will also get to see the cabins along the trail even though I choose to wild camp in my Hilleberg Enan on this hike. I really enjoy going on solo hikes sometimes and I never feel unsecure in the wild up here in the north although I'm a woman.
Hope I could bring some knowledge and entertainment with this video.

[@bonilsson3161]

A really nice video, beautiful scenerys all over. The last few minutes though of your video bring back so many memories to me, sad memories now. The first time my becoming wife came to Sweden we went to Sarek first, just in to Rapa valley just the area Matti was packrafting with the Italian couple (horrible mosquitos beginning of July) and later on we flew out to Staloloukta and spent 5 days there. We went to the sami "church" and actually talked about maybe getting married there. We got married later but not there, got a daughter but just 8 year after we got married she passed away, left me alone with a 7 year old daughter. We met in Peru but she was american. Just watching your video from that church and thinking about our time there got me remember our time there so incredibly clear. we had just that really nice weather, almost too hot at day time and because we were there in early July it was really midnight sun. I had my Hilleberg Nammatj 3 that I actually still have, but I wouldnt trust it for a mountain backpacking trip any more, its now 26 year old.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you Bo! Loved ones never leave our hearts, although they left this life. ❤️ /Stina

[@johannesk1855]

I did the whole Padjelanta trail a few weeks back, but started in Vaisaluokta. Nice all the way but a bit rocky in some parts of Tarravalley.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Hapoy to hear! I also like to hike the whole trail, but it's hard for me to get the time. I hope to do the second half between Staloluokta and Kvikkjokk later on. /Stina

[@diceau]

ohh that was so good to see. very different from the landscape i am used to in Australia. thank you so much.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Australia!?!?! That’s far away!!! There is a big difference between Australia and Swedish Lapland. We don’t have all the different kinds of animals that trying to kill you!!! 😉

[@azclaimjumper]

:45 seconds - That looked like a really long suspension bridge crossing over a raging torrent of water. No Dog on this adventure. Thanks for the explanation/reason as to why Joni is (MIA) missing in action I, too, often stop to catch my breath under the shade of trees. 15:42 It always boggles my mind each time you or Matti scoop up water & drink it & don't filter it. You probably don't even know what a water filter looks like, however, here in America, it's a MUST HAVE piece of equipment. My go-to snack to munch on during breaks is pre-cooked strips of bacon. 18:54 I, too, love the sound of a babbling brook near my shelter/tent. 19:11 Your tent looks like a Hilleberg Enan. Mine is dark green. 21:59 Nice to be comfy cozy & dry inside your 5-Star hotel out in the boonies. 36:44 Looks like you found a nice flat piece of ground to pitch your tent. Lucky you, a helicopter ride back to your car. I've never been in a helicopter before, during, or after any hike. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I really liked this trail. Hope to be able to hike the whole stretch. This was only the north part. Yes correct, the tent is a Hilleberg Enan. /Stina

[@csbmh]

Thank you Stina for sharing this amazing video. I did se you on the Trail ( before the Rain and i was the guy at 32:53 ). So amazing to see this nature again in the video. Greetings from Switzerland

[@AnnkiW-t3v]

Tack för en fantastiskt fin och inspirerande film ❤ Jag undrar vilket regnskydd du har till ryggsäcken? Har förstått att det som följer med Ospreys ryggsäckar är för litet.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

När vi köper regnskydd så kollar vi mest på priset. Det är inte speciellt stora skillnader på den. Jag tror att det va ett vi köpt från Klättermusen… men vi har flera. Ospreys egna regnskydd är verkligen små.

[@christelanelin]

Härlig inspiration! Ser helt underbart ut. Synd att man inte får ta med hund. Försökte se vilka kängor du har, de ser så sköna ut. Har Lundhags som jag tycker är lite för hårda. Dina ser lite mjukare ut, eller är de kanske välanvända :)

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Tack! Det är Crispi Ranger GTX. Mycket mjukare än Lundhags. Just släppt en video om min utrustning., du hittar den här: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoHXqJ2Pl69seNU

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Perfekt! Kollar där direkt :) Det låter som bra kängor för mig då!

Soo beautiful, wow. Thanks for the tour

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you for joining here in the video 🙏! That it's feel safe, could be, but why is it less men? 🤔/Stina

[@megalep7025]

I live in Norway and have also observed that the amount of women hiking alone has risen for some years, also when it comes to a completely different thing - training cross country skiing - it's no longer mostly men out there but maybe 50/50. I will distinguish in my opinion between two ways of hiking, those who (mostly) follow the trails that run between the tourist cabins and sleep and eat there or have their tent nearby, and those who walk in the terrain and only sleep in a tent and carry fishing equipment and have that as a main element of their wilderness travel. The first group consists of both sexes and an increased number of women, but the latter still mostly of men. I have met solo-women out there but it's rare, usually two women walking together or couples or solo men. Walking between the cabins has always been mainly a group-thing in Norway and always a lot of women have done that. It's a huge simplification but I think men on average are and always been more loners and women more social creatures. But the culture of today has told women that it's completely socially axeptable that they also go out in nature alone if they want to, and I guess we now see that culture change in practice. Of course there will be a certain amount of female-"loners" in society too. I don't see that men has quit being outdoors but they are as mentioned earlier in other places out there. And lets not forget that outdoors-equipment har gone through a revolution for some decades, it's way more lightweight and that has opened solo travelling to more people, also those who are not very physically strong.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Could be. About the "social creature" part of women, I think that women in general think more of others and take more responsibility for others and do not focus on themselves, but now more women start to belive more in them selves and take more time for them selves. I think we are many women that crave more "me time" 😉. /Stina

[@Cary-cgc98]

Hej Stina. Such a beautiful hike and not so many people. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed it👍🏻 Enan looks like a great tent. I am currently researching to buy a 3 season tent for summer and Fall hiking in this area and Norway. Is Enan strong enough to deal with the Scandinavian mountain’s wind/weather? tack så mycket 🇨🇦

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

So nice to hear you liked it! 😊 Matti has actually made a in-depth review of Enan, which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGGZlXxmYtapiZY /Stina

[@Cary-cgc98]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

We should say THANK YOU NORWAY for all the landscape, water, plants, wildlife and scenery. All soil, rocks, plants, water and everything else drifted from the Norwegian side from their mountains during the last ice ages and we should be thankful the Norwegian people doesn't want us to pay rent for our country that is based on this land shift. So join me in a thank you to Norway by pressing "like" on this comment!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Lol!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Landscape, water, plants, and wildlife don't have any country borders. Countries and borders are made up by us. The nature, rocks, and soil were there a long time before us humans. So I would say THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE that you bear with us! /Stina

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA We swedes show no gratitude towards Norway and the Norwegians. We got our land from Norway and we've even tried to steal the Viking Era from Norway where the viking age started. It is never too late to start thanking Norway. I take it you didn't press the "like" thumb?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

We do not have any against Norway or Norwegian people. We have many friends there and love Norway. I just wanted to say that nature doesn't see any borders and neither Norway, Norwegians or Sweden did exist during ice age.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I agree, as a Norwegian, I am really in love with Sweden, I actually think Norway and Sweden could be one country again. Not an opinion I share with many Norwegian though😂

[@lenaien5364]

Takker du tok oss med på turen! ❤Fantastisk natur! Det var ovverraskende at det er ikke lov å ta med hund? det er båndtvang i norge mange steder hele året, men aldri hørt at det ikke var lov noe sted enda.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Väldigt olika regler i Norge o Sverige. Nationalparkerna är hårdast reglerade i Sverige. Kommer en hund lös i renbetesland kan de ställa till med stor skada så jag förstår. På vintern får man gå med hund i koppel men för hundspann måste vi söka tillstånd för att köra i nationalparkerna. Tack för att du tittade! ❤️ /Stina

[@megalep7025]

In the last minutes of the video I see you have the camera connected/mounted to the left shoulderstrap over the chest with cameralens facing downwards. Is that a self-made solution or something I can buy somewhere?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Not self-made. It's a really smart camera mount. You find it here: geni.us/YKGFe2 /Stina

kan du huske hvad nattetemperaturen cirka var? planlægger at vandre padjelanta-leden til august, og er meget i tvivl om hvilken sovepose og tøj jeg skal tage med :))

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Minns inte riktigt men det va inte kallt men det kan variera väldigt från år till år så svårt att säga. Jag är ganska frusen av mig så jag tar alltid en lite "för varm" sovsäck enligt temperaturen för att vara på den säkra sidan. Gjorde en film om vad för grejer jag hade med på turen där visar jag även vilken sovsäck jag hade. Du hittar den här: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoHXqJ2Pl69seNU /Stina
