My Norwegian Cabin Life | Simple Living

Outside Bergen, Norway... heading North, you will find a place called Mostraum, or more precise Nøttveit. This is where my family comes from, and grew up trough generations. It is a small place near the fjord with surrounding mountains and beautiful Nature.
This is the place I often escape to recharge my batteris and find motivation to work on new projects. The last 6 months I have spend a lot of time here, trying to find a new direction in life and remember what is most important for me.
I normally take my motorcycle or camper van and seek out adventures wherever I can find it, but some of my most memorable adventures is right here where it all startet.
This video is for you who enjoy Simple Living, Off-grid living or just find Norwegian Culture interesting and would like to se how the Norwegian Cabin Life is. It is without a doubt a different type of adventure, but I bet you will like it.
Enjoy.

[@christopherjay7018]

Thank you for welcoming us into a home, your home, as well as your family’s. It is a special place. Your artistic shots, descriptions, metaphors and the like all resonate with me. Thank you again for welcoming us and showing us around.

[@tshansen]

Glad you liked it and you are welcome. Nice when people appreciate the work you put into it. Cheers ☕️

[@Stiann86]

Now this is how you unwind from the city life. Some simple tasks, were time is not an issue and the peaceful surroundings. I can almost smell the dry birch wood. Great video Thomas.

[@tshansen]

Thank you Stian. Yeah, this is truly my safe haven where time stand still and the days are made by when I'm hungry, tired or rested 🙌🏻

[@soilsmanadv6673]

I was so glad to see you were teaching a young person the proper way to process fire wood with a hatchet and chainsaw.

[@soilsmanadv6673]

For an inexpensive axe or hatchet, I have found the Fiskar to be of outstanding quality for the price. They hold an edge well and are very balanced.

[@tshansen]

He love to follow me around and do what I do, so what better way to teach him the many task that has to be done every year. And I agree... I have a large collection of axes, some expensive, some not. When it comes to quality, and price, not may can beat fiskars axes

[@kemalkumandas4716]

Norway is very beautiful. Everything is beautiful... But life is short. The world is not enough. One needs an eternal paradise Hansen. You put a lot of effort and made a video. Thanks a lot.

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir, appreciate the nice comment, and glad you liked it. ☕️

[@burenvanpaul]

It all looks very appealing. Beautiful spots hidden in the mountains.

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir 👏🏻

[@markust8904]

Oh, Man you are killing me, everything you have done, is exactly what i would have done, if i had that magnificent cabin or any cabin in the nature if i could afford one. Open it up, turn the water on, feed the birds, put the fire on, chop wood, sit on the deck, enjoying nature and the break, do maintainence around the property, go fishing, make bread, make spoons! Dude!! I have a thousand things to do today, but i stopped and watched this well filmed vlog. I am envious my friend. Your job obviously dictates a lot of money in a Norwegian city, to afford these "simple things". I love it. New subscriber. I would like to see more at this cabin, and of course your motovlogs as well. My bmw 1200gs is chafing at the bit.

[@tshansen]

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible comment and follow. Truly appreciated. Glad to see that this stuff also something people like to watch even if we are mostly motorcycle riders. More cabin videos is in the pipeline. I'm gonna make a floor inside the tool shed, and make a new staircase. And maybe trow in a little story here and there. I have some old Scandinavian knifes, axes etc I would love to show more of also. We have to wait and see 👏🏻 Thank you for the support. Much more to come.

[@Luc_Motor4youNL]

What a brilliant film this is Thomas!! The simple plaesures of life. I absolutely can imagine what joy it would be to live in a place like this. Thanks again for creating and sharing this.

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much for the nice words and taking the time to watch it. I would not trade this life for anything. Just find that relaxing daily drive and enjoy all impressions

[@IAMDENRIDEPOV]

The scenery is really peaceful and quiet. I like that.

[@tshansen]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@nesbokaj1]

Some boys have all the toys 😂, great video and what a fantastic cottage 🇧🇻👌, i enjoyed your kid using the axe and helping you!..I did the same with my boy!, learning by doing and being outdoors ❤

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir. Yeah I absolutely love to help out and do what I do. So there is no better way to learn the ropes of life. Cheers ☕️

[@fanicahriscu1769]

Yeah...beautiful!! Lucky you!!

[@tshansen]

Glad you liked it. Cheers 👏🏻

[@user-wb1wk8uz8x]

I enjoyed your vlog very much - thank you for sharing your world with us.

[@tshansen]

Really glad you liked it 👏🏻 Thank you

[@transylvanianrider]

Great video, superb cabin, very good visual storyteller. I love the "MacPro" outdoor fireplace :) Best regards from Romania !

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir. Really appreciate the nice comment. A good fireplace is one of the most important places to have in a cabin, both inside and outside. Cheers

[@cosmo00013]

I am sure most of us that are watching your channel would like this type of adventure...it is simply amaising... and no other comments !!

[@tshansen]

It looks like some of you truly enjoy it, and that is good enough for me, because I really love it and would not live without it. Cheers 🙌🏻

[@KPlas-fs8my]

You are a lucky man Thomas, when visited Norway one can immediatly relate to the peace and tranquility as shown in your video. Nicely done with the editing. I’m planning to visit the fjords next spring but for the first time by motorcycle, guess I will be checking your camping video’s some more 😉👍. Keep it up, Nice work!

[@tshansen]

Yeah, I feel quite privileged with this amazing place. It is a place I really enjoy and want to take care of for future generations. You will have such a great time here. So many nice fjords, and vistas to see. Thank you for the kind comment. Take care. Cheers ☕️

[@andrewewan624]

Beautiful home and super location. Your videos are impressive, improving all the time...very professional and entertaining. AND we have your motorcycle travel adventures to look forward to Thanks for sharing..stay safe

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir 👏🏻 really appreciate the Nice comment, and glad you enjoyed this as well 🎥☕️

[@antonakis79ohyes]

I can't really remember why I subscribed - I think it was about bike trips,. although I don't even have a bike - but I am soooooo glad I did! Amazing video and scenery! Thank you!

[@tshansen]

Haha, that is the first time i hear 😇👏🏻 and Thank you 😇 really glad you enjoyed it

[@ursjungo5896]

Fantastic filming, Thomas. Thank you for providing high-quality footage without unnecessary constant background music or blabla commentary (often used by American KZbinrs). Less definitely is more. Keep doing what you do and ride safe.

[@tshansen]

Thank you for this feedback, never easy to know how much talk or story that should go into clips like this. It seams like some like none and others like a lot. Cheers, will do my best 🙌🏻

[@BiglumpADV]

That's an amazing view from your cabin. I personally would enjoy having that to wake up to each day come rain or shine, or even snow lol

[@tshansen]

I would not mind to have this as my daily view as well. I really want to sell everything and move to a remote place like this. Rather spend my free time travelling and then get back home to this, than the noisy city life.

[@curnobullen]

Great film. What a special place.

[@tshansen]

Thank you 👏🏻🔥

[@Anytwowheels2024]

Hi Thomas, great to see you on the tube again! Have been chopping fire wood this afternoon so your video hit a cord! Have a book in my library called “Norwegian Wood”. Great read!

[@tshansen]

Hello mate, glad you enjoyed this. Chopping wood is good therapy 🤩 Norwegian wood? need to check that out. Cheers 👏🏻

[@skyridercommendor6303]

This is life ;-) Ps soo damn good to see you look healty an in balance 🤗

[@tshansen]

It truly is mate, and thank you for noticing 🙌🏻 doing really well at the moment 🔥

[@samhill3496]

Like the saw stands and the pallet wood sheds. Handy. Been building a couple here. Beautiful still water shots. Great area for photography. Good work on the walkway. That will last several years. Good vid. Yeah, I run a one man show for the most part. Pace yourself, don't get burned out and take time for relaxation and enjoyment. Don't be hard on yourself if there;s something you didn't get done in a visit,. it will be there when you go back. Take care, work safe. Next time. Look forward to axe reviews. Have a whole gaggle myself.

[@tshansen]

Allways appreciate your valuable insight and tips mate 👏🏻 i really like this slow pace not need to meet a deadline work! Just having fun with the whole process and always time to relax a little 👏🏻 Yeah, i’m working on both a axe video and a knife video! But more of that later 🤩

[@ewendavidson8787]

Brilliant video Thomas, I share your thoughts about living in that type of environment. I’ve spent as much of my life as possible doing exactly the same. I believe it’s where true contentment can be found when you connect with what is free. My motorbike takes me to similar locations as often as possible, taking me back to my childhood and family roots. Nature is great for the soul, dismissed by so many, preferring mountains of material things. How lucky are we! Well done 👌👌👏👏

[@tshansen]

Well said mate, and I completely agree with your thoughts. Glad you enjoyed this 🙌🏻

[@dangoodwin2948]

Thanks for making and posting this wonderful video!

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much, really glad to hear you enjoyed this

[@NordicAdvRider]

A beautiful place you have. Peaceful and calm with stunning views over the fjords. And nice to see the small projects you do. Looking forward to the coming videos with your T7 👍

[@tshansen]

I'm currently editing on my trip in may with the T7, but I struggle to get a good story about it. But I guess it will come to me sooner or later 😇 Glad you enjoyed this as well mate. Cheers 🙌🏻

[@henriksnderby2399]

Another wonderful film. You manage to keep improving from an already very high level!! Well done film, maintenance work and the new path, everything!!

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much Henrik, really appreciate the nice comment. I try to improve every time I make a new video, so this is something I have high hopes of master one day. Glad you enjoyed it. More adventures to come 🙌🏻

[@ediorzel22]

The spoon carving part was so awesome! Such a simple and utilitarian time spending:)

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate. I hobby I really enjoy doing when I want to sort my thoughts or just plan out new projects. 🙌🏻

[@lucimoto2922]

Beautiful place Love the video It's not very wise to drink too much in that place, if you stumble by mistake......😂

[@tshansen]

Hahaha it is made like this for a reason... If you can't hold your liquor you will tumble down, all the way 😂

So nice to see! Hubby an me have visited Mo 2 times. Once riding via Vaksdal and once via Eksindal. Nice kabin!

[@tshansen]

Ooooh you have been there? So nice, did you like it? Thank you so much. Yeah, I really like Eksingedal. What a great place to ride when the snow is melting and the river is full of water.

[@gerharddahlheimer5485]

Great Video as always Thomas. Even though i've seen just a small part of it. Maybe this evening i will have the time peace to see it compltely. But you should consider not to give away to much Informations about the location. Nowadays there are o lot of weird people out there. I would not be surprised if one day some of these cheerful happy 'Fans' knock on your door an expect an nice chat and getting a coffee. I hope you have better weather than we have here in north west Germany. Is not that bad but we have had better early Summer periods. Gerhard

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir! and a valid point, I already had two of those encounters where I was caught of guard with people who wanted to meet me. It was a little bit uncomfortable, but they understood after I made a little talk with them. If this will be a problem, I need to let people know that there are ways up here that make people disappear for ever 😂🙌🏻 Well, we have had a lot of rain the last couple of days. I'm about to start my vacation and it does not seam like it will be anything better in the next couple of weeks. And the temp has dropped a lot as well... Cheers ☕️

[@PauloPereira-go6sn]

This is the live!!! Here's from Portugal cheers love you're country is magnificent beautiful. ❤

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much, this is truly the lifestyle I rather have yes. 🙏🏻 Norway is beautiful in so many ways. Like Portugal, it has its own beauty and so much to like. Little bit too hot in the summer for my taste, but aside from that. Perfect 🙌🏻

[@fricaTenereWorldraid]

Awesome, We enjoyed your beautifully made film in this beautiful area and country. From chopping wood to making the path to the spoons you make yourself. Wonderful to live like this. Occasionally fishing. It couldn't be more beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed it and relaxed. Life can be that simple and great 🙏 Edwin en Anke germany

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much Edwin, really glad to hear this. Yeah, this is how I try to spend all my free time. 🙏🏻

[@oeboeloe05]

Really enjoyed this Thomas. It is an absolute stunning place you've got there. People say there is beauty in nature everywhere, but your place is next level. I can totally imagine how good it is for disconnecting from daily life. I popped a beer (Oahhh) and watched the whole video this evening. Thanks for putting this together, enjoy your weekend (at the cabin? ;-)).

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much mate, really appreciate that 🙌🏻 Yeah, I feel quite lucky to have such a place. A proper åååhh to a video like this is how it should be watched. Cheers mate, and really glad you enjoyed it 👏🏻🍻

Nice to see you again Adam 😂👏🏻 (Biltema) 🤌🏻🤪 See you again soon

[@Roberta_Esposito]

Great job Mr. Hansen Keep it coming… now if you just park a GS outside

[@tshansen]

Haha, well. I will cast floor inside the tool shed so I can park my bike, or even a ATV in there. I have an own special place for my bike right outside the window so I can look at it every time I drink my coffee.

[@ObanHighlander]

Erica says she envies you having somewhere to go to, to enjoy the simple life ❤

[@tshansen]

I can understand, I feel quite lucky to have such a place. I hope I can spend even more time here in the years to come. I really want to make a wind shelter or a place where people can drop by and sleep in the motorcycle season, but that will be a surprise for an upcoming project.

[@WikstromADV]

It looks beautiful Thomas 👍🏻

[@tshansen]

Thank you Wikstrom, hope you are enjoying the season 🙏🏻

[@wop9113]

How comes that I had to think about Lönneberga while watching you carving spoons…I can say that I am honestly jealous. The cabin is really a nice place to stay.

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, I'm not that far from Emil... if I had to make a spoon for every stupid thing I did when growing up, I would have a house full 😂

Wonderful Biography and Documentary of Your Cabin Life. The question is, why shouldn't we all live more like this. Great tha You have Småen with You, most valuable days for a kid growing up. Enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing Tjommi, totally different from what We have Enjoyed the last month together. 💪🤠🔥

[@tshansen]

Takk takk Tjommi. A little bit of clickbait title, but I think we should live much more like this everyone. Just get away to do simple task, chores and just maintain the land we have inhered for generations. Value the fact that so many generations has struggled for us to be where we are today. This is such a big part of my life, there is no way of showing my adventures without taking part of this as well. Glad you liked it. Hope to see you here one day 🍻 Skåååål 👌🏻

I understand it in my core: Born and raised in the countryside, but having lived in cities in sizes from 60 000 to 600 000, now living in a city with around 110 000 people in it. I thoroughly love the size of a city when it gives it a certain pulse, energy and a vibe, and it has culture, restaurants and people in it to give it life, but I would go seriously mad if I couldn't go to the countryside or lakes or to the beach to just calm down and end enjoy life at a far slower pace. In my case, I think that variation is key, and if I had to choose between one or the other I would go for the countryside or lakes. Leaning more and more towards that with an increasing age. (Age I have plenty of...)

[@tshansen]

I do think you are on to something, if this was our daily lives, without know about the downsides of the big city it would probably not be so impactful. I guess I have learned to like more of the simple stuff by been forced into the city noise and all the stuff going on at work etc. You really need to learn what works best for you as a person and the stuff you enjoy doing. I would choose silence and nature any day. But I think it is good to have a little bit of both. There can't be light without darkness etc.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! I really enjoyed that. Especially your helper. Kind of reminds me of me. You need to learn to fly fish It would suit you. Best!

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate... I really need to learn how to fly fish. I actually got a message about that from another guy as well. I know I tried it when I was a kid, but never got the hang of it. Will look into this. Thank you 👏🏻

[@ElwoodPDowd-ed7pc]

Yes … that’s the life! Some chores, some peace, some relaxation, some exorcize, good eats & drink, in nature, all that water!! How far is the cabin from your full time city? Just curious.

[@tshansen]

Exactly... this is how life can and probably should be for many more. It is about 1 hour drive from the city I live in. So it is not that far.

[@ElwoodPDowd-ed7pc]

@@tshansen oh yeah … an hour drive is therapeutic … a great start, just to get you in the groove!

[@JeroenBrosens]

Great camera work man. Was wondering what it means in Norway to have a green license plate, in NL that is only for when you make a test drive in a new car.

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate 👏🏻🔥 the green license plate is for cars without Seat in the rear. Like a 2 or 3 Seater and the rear is only luggage space! A work truck in a way

[@tshansen]

Hello mate... summer season in Norway has been, how could I put it. Terrible, everything from heat wave to snow in the mountains (in June) or should we say just like normal? I had a motorcycle trip in may (I'm editing on now) and right after may that was full of work and trips, I had my vacation (going up North to Lofoten) but I have not started edit on that trip yet. So there will be some videos coming, but not sure when I will be finished editing them yet.
