[@Domistyx]

I just wanted to point out that it is positive to talk about these things in life that we all struggle with at some point. Whether it's nightmares, depression, anxiety and so on. By talking about our problems we help ourselves and others out there with getting perspective on the sometimes bumpy road in life. All the best, be safe and keep up the good work with your awesome videos.❤❤❤👑🤟

[@tshansen]

I could not agree more mate. It is important to let others see that it is not only sunshine and rainbows. We all have some bumps and stuff to figure out every now and then. I do think this is something that is under communicated in todays videos. Everything is about happy happy happy. But you can be happy even if your life trows you a pile of shit every now and then 🔥

[@ewendavidson8787]

Another brilliant, very enjoyable video. Life does unfortunately challenge us all. Getting away on my motorbike, connecting again with nature and that amazing feeling that only a motorbike brings! Sleeping problems, it doesn’t take much! I’m a bit older than you! My wife snoring, moving around during the night! So, we start off together but she sleeps most of the night with our black lab dog., next room 👌👌Having no noise, absolutely spot on temperature and darkness . All these are absolutely crucial. What you eat and drink can effect your sleep too. I hope this improves for you. Being light hearted here! Try riding a GS for a few days. Best wishes 🏍🏍

Wise and welcome words ❤

Another TSHansen signature video. Next video you need to introduce your film team! We never see them in your videos but they must be there. Cheers tjommi.

Fantastic video , beautiful scenery thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺

[@tshansen]

Thank you, really glad you liked it.

[@MrRabbitthumper]

Baring our souls is NOT an easy thing to do....especially to strangers??? OK maybe easier than to family. I FEEL that you found some ease during your time camping (in spite of the nightmares). It is my personal experience that being alone in nature with none of the usual responsibilities is a perfect way to clear my head. Thank you for the candidness and for the continuing beauty of your work. You are truly very talented my friend. EVERY DAY is the first day of your life and gives each and every one of us the opportunity to be different / other than we were yesterday. Ride safe and stay well! Cheers!

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much my friend. Yes, I was really not sure if this was something I wanted to include in the videos, but I think it is important to show that life can be difficult with some obsticals you need to overcome to continue forward. Thankfully, this trip, and many like it has made my mind much better. Stay safe mate, we talk soon 🙏🏻

Thank you sir, really appreciate it and so glad you enjoyed it. I try to edit so you, the viewer can be with me on the trips. Cheers ☕️

[@karehogberg9280]

Your videos always give me a big smile and a feeling of comfort. All the work you put into every detail, all the camera angels, all the artistic thought behind it all. I take a bow and lift my hat! Nice to see some roads and sights familiar to me. The area between Vänern and Vättern is truly the heart and birthplace of Sweden.

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much Kåre 👏🏻 really appreciate the nice feedback and comment. Really appreciate it and so glad that my way of filming is appreciated.

[@HikingHansen]

Beyond impressed, Thomas 🤩 This is high-end storytelling. I really like the balance between camping, solving everyday problems and traveling 👌 Just like last time, fantastic use of drone shots. Well done my friend 🤜

[@tshansen]

Thank you Mads 🙏🏻 2 hours of footage into this episode. Had a hard time sorting what would be valuable towards part one of this series, but I guess it all will make sense when I stitch it together to become a long video later this year. Funny thing is, you learn so much when you sit down to edit. Valuable stuff of what I want to include in the next project. Not to mention all the videos that inspire me as well. Great times ahead my friend. 🙌🏻

[@ClassicRides]

Brilliant as always. You have such incredible roads and camping spots, very jealous indeed!

[@tshansen]

Thank you my friend. Yeah, the right to roam is quite special over here and makes camping so much more fun. Hope you are doing great mate. Cheers ☕

[@JEmmertz]

I like the video's ending with the essentials of life: Broccoli and Jack Daniels. 😋

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, the essentials indeed 😂

[@nofrontiersmotoadvs]

I am very impressed with your videography and storytelling. About having a good night's sleep while camping or at home, sharing my experience: I go to bed early, eat light, drink little or no alcohol (I like it but it disturbs my sleep), and drink few liquids after 6:00 p.m. If not, the nightmare starts: I spend the whole night with nightmares, especially if my nightmare involves water in any form (rain, waterfall, river, pool...). I have already understood that it is because I need to go to the bathroom or want to go to the bathroom. This physiological need induces nightmares related to water: drowning, floods, non-stop rain... and the most common one is looking for a bathroom to pee... it is a suffering, in the nightmare I can even find the place but there is always an obstacle, so I keep trying to solve it until I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and then I have spent hours suffering... well, that is my experience.

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir. Appreciate that 🙌🏻 This is some really good tips. I can have dreams where I rush to the bathroom or similar like you describe if I drink a lot before sleep. One of the reasons why I have stopped drinking beer 😂 But ut is not nightmares, just dreams. I have struggled a lot with far worse and really intense scares. Mostly around me dying. But I think I have found a way out of it now. I'm much better (this video was shot in May) Thank you for this comment, Made me think

[@nofrontiersmotoadvs]

@@tshansen I’m happy to know that you’re doing good know! and if I may I would ask for a video about how you pack your Mosko Moto R80, I just bought one and I’m struggling, trying to reduce my stuff but probably I have to make some new equipment purchase… so I’m curious to see what you are carrying inside your bags 😂 ( and maybe I’m OCD but I mean, Brand, model, wait, in which bag and the order in which is stored, yes definitely OCD ) cheers

[@tshansen]

@@nofrontiersmotoadvs Hahaha. I got a lot of requests about this. Let me see if that can be done in between projects here. Maybe a short and easy video about what is where and how it fits. Let me see what we can make of it.

[@sunnyvalejedi]

As always, great video! As for your nightmares and sleep, I have two suggestions: 1) Lay off the booze, as it really disrupts REM sleep. 2) You shoild look into a sleep assessment. Sleep apnea can be a deadly condition, and your brain being starved of oxygen could be affecting your dreams. If you do end up testing positively, it doesn't mean the end of your motocamping as there are tiny machines and smaller batteries readily available. I'm not a doctor, but getting terrible, repetitive nightmares is unlikely to be caused by sleeping too warm.

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir. Appreciate it. I tried to lay of the booze for 6 months without any luck. I have been looking into sleep machines etc, but that is not the case either. I think it is just a lot of things that have come to the surface that I need to handle or work trough to get peace again. Cheers

[@GreenString]

Dude, the way you strap your Crocs to the bike is bloody genius. All these years I’ve been crushing them putting a strap over the top. Not anymore! Stay safe brother. Uncle Steve👍🏼

[@henriksnderby8144]

Fantastic video. You’ve become a true master of photography with a keen eye even for the little details! I’m sorry to learn about your troubles sleeping, I know from my own experience how stressful it can be. It helped me to follow the traditional advice of exercising not too close to bedtime and no alcohol (sorry Jack D….). I hope you find peace and I wish you an onwards good journey.

[@tshansen]

Thank you Henrik. Yeah the devil is in the details and I do belive that if I focus on the stuff that most don't take the time to do, the productions will shine more. And I really enjoy to make visual great videos. Yeah. I have more peace now than before (this video was shot in May) but still I need better tools to handle all this going forward. I have no plans of going trough this crap again. Cheers

[@robertadair6612]

Wonderful and inspiring as always. I want to share how I dealt with terrible nightmares as a child, I learnt to no dwell or even think about them as I woke up, but to get straight out of bed and start my day, this eventually worked for me very well. Many years later this helped me in learning to meditate and let go of things, the concept of letting thoughts pass like a cloud, not attempting to hold on to anything rings true. All the best to you😊

[@tshansen]

This is not a bad idea... I have done something similar myself with great success... just wake up for an hour or two. Start with something and then take a nap later. Good advice I will bring with me. Thank you for sharing this. 🙌🏻

[@adventure_croatia]

[@WikstromADV]

Waow Thomas!! Next weekend I'm finally going out on a little 3-day trip in Dalarna and Härjedalen, I had intended to take the tent but after seeing this, they'll have to be the hammock 😊👍🏻 Sincerely, Henrik.

[@tshansen]

It is so nice to be able to hang above the ground. Such a delight and much better sleep. Yes I enjoy tent as well, but if I can, I choose hammock every time.

[@thetubelesschannel]

Great vide as usual. Its is very important to sleep well. A motorcycle adventure may be a good cure, fresh air, beautiful nature and the view of a nice motorcycle 😀

[@obliquepanic2]

I really appreciated the depth of this video and the honesty about fears and about things not always going well. Its rare on KZbin! I liked the choice of music too but I must say, because you have created such a thoughtful mood, you could have had some silent passages and the atmosphere could have really intensified. (Just my view - maybe you tried it and it didn't work...) Thank you so much for your videos.

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate, appreciate you telling me. I really did not plan to put that stuff in there in the final edit. I thought that people are coming here to get away from issues like this and want to see a perfect world. But There is also the situation where I want to be honest and you can be happy and have a good life but there is always up's and down's you need to figure out for yourself without being sick or different from anyone else. I tried some silent passages, but I thought that would only make it like a "dark" video with to much focus on the troubles. Thank you for the nice comment. Cheers ☕️

[@butlersg1]

Another great video- I love the look of that Klim lid!……when I started golfing, the best advice I ever got was to never take advice from a golfer with a handicap, I think the same may apply to your challenges- lots of well wishers offering advice but best talk to a pro. Good luck to you 💪

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir, and that is probably the best and most valid advice I have gotten so far. Yes I have been seeing a professional trough work regarding this issue. Thank you 🙌🏻

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Technology always has pros and cons, Thomas. Regarding windmills: A little noise is better than sending "our" troops to defend "our" oil/gas in my humble opinion. I live in the city which is never quiet. But rather that than living next to a nuclear power station. High-class filmmaking, as usual. It's fun to ride with you, Günter/Nürnberg PS: Gonna clean up a Stegra trail on Thursday morning, the heat makes us get up early.

[@tshansen]

I completely agree with you mate, but crazy leaders will always find reasons to send troops to get more of what they need on the graves of others. History has shown this so many times. Ooooh... this could have been a great conversation around the bonfire mate. I have so many thoughts about these issues, but here is not the place 😂 Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Working on some new navigational setups my self at the moment. I'm not quite happy with Garmin and the tread app after the last update. And I'm starting to get upset by the whole thing 🙈

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@tshansen Yes, Thomas, a bonfire talk. Regarding Garmin: My old 390 is okay, I'm used to Basecamp. But still I'm trying out Osmand. To visualize my unpaved tracks I love Mapfactor Navigator on an Android rugged phone. The track function on the older Garmin is rather stone age and hard to grasp quickly standing on the footpegs ;-) Cheers, Günter

Great to see you on the road again😃👍 It feels like you have a whole new film crew this time😉 The old crew was really good, but this new team is next level. Wonder how you trained them🎥👌👌 Nightmares are no joke, I can relate to that. They will eventually pass, until that time don’t fight them let them just be. Remember, you’re not your thoughts or dreams-so if your nightmares are giving you a hard time, just think of them as bad movies you didn’t even choose to watch! Hope this helps mate😇

[@tshansen]

Thank you Ricard... it is really nice to be on the road, even if I had trouble sleeping. Haha, I take that as a huge compliment coming from you, the master of angles 👏🏻 Yeah I found some good techniques to handle them (I think) this was shot in may, and now most of it is gone. Thank god. It was a hard time when it was on the worse.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it’s a good place to come and relax, and watch your wondrous journeys. 🤛😎🤜

[@tshansen]

Yeah, this trip most certainly helped with the issue. I have not found out what caused it, but I'm much better. Since I was struggling with on this trip I found it important to talk about and show people that it is always up's and downs when traveling. Really appreciate the nice words and glad you enjoyed it. Cheers ☕️

[@Braapncamp]

Wonderful Tjommi, a very honest captured in this video. Both how You feel and what you struggle with. We need to have a call on those nightmares. They always mean something, something that needs to dig into. Maybe something needs to be releaved from Your shoulders or just get vented. For sure there are "instagram versions" of a place and there are a reality, great to show that as well. I try to avoid these places, but sometimes You have to just accept a less great spot for the night, and that's fine too. You capture the landscapes and typical views very well as always. The ferrytale like gravel road network. Was that the TET or did You go Stegra planned routes before we met up? I could clearly see that you hydrates yourself in a familiar and proper way with cold drinks at the ending evening 😂🙌💪🤠🔥 Cheers my brother from another mother! See You ✊️✊️

[@tshansen]

Yeah, much happened with the time we spent together in Sweden both at Mangwood in and the Overland Expo. And yeah, I needed to learn to just don't give a deam. It is easy to always look for the perfect spot to camp, while in reality sometimes you just need a place to sleep, it can be on a bench, under a tarp or just at the side of the road. Need to re learn the hobo style a bit. This was only Stegra. but I saw I was touching on some of the sweden TET and TST. Cheers Tjommi

[@tshansen]

Ardbeg or some other peat whisky are my favourite. Jack is more good drink that is easy to share with others when you are out and about. I have tried to share some of my peat whisky with not the same success. Not everyone likes it.

beautiful video! annoying to hear about your nightmares. i have heard that it can be caused by alcohol. because of that you hardly get rem sleep. because you sleep lightly you automatically start dreaming. i am not a specialist but i try to think along. thank you very much for your video and look forward to the next one. cheers mate!

[@tshansen]

Thank you Nick. Yeah, I have read up on that as well. did try 6 month of sobriety without any luck, but knowing what I have learned the last couple of months point me in the direction of a much more small things that is tangled up in a little bit of mind games.

Just Love going along on these trips with you, Thomas. Thanks again. I hope your channel will take off some day. ps maybe less caffeine might help with the nightmares?

[@tshansen]

So glad to hear that mate. Always nice to have you guys with me on these trips. And that you can feel you are there with me. Oooh my channel has taken off like crazy in my opinion. I'm not here for fame and fortune, I'm here to share my passion and to have loyal fans that enjoy watching what I make 🙌🏻 So thank you for comments like this. They are truly appreciated and what motivates me the most. I have tried to cut both coffee and alkohol without having a measurable effect.

[@lewsdirtbikedays]

Beautiful Tommy 🙌 glad to have you back and to hear you're doing well. That piece of music you put in there stopped me in thought, actually felt a bit emotional to be honest 🙏 Where do your sourse the music mate? And how do your crowbar it in there without the dreaded 'copyright strike'? Great work as ever mate, we all appreciate you and your efforts showcasing your beautiful country. Much love.

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much mate. I can't begin to describe how much time I used to find that correct song that emphasised the feelings and emotions I had when recording that. So the music was intentional for people to stop and think. So glad I managed to capture that moment. I use several music sources, there is online services like Epidemic sound, Artlist and Audiio that you subscribe to and can use all their music without copyright claims. I spend a lot of money on this each year so I know that I can have a rich selection of music without the troubles with copyright claims. I have affiliate links for the services in the description of the videos if you consider any of them. (I'm actually making a video about this as we speak)

Helt fantastisk 👍😊

Takk for det, hyggelig å høre du likte dette avsnittet 🔥

Superbly shot Video Thomas👏. I personally find alcohol doesn’t help with nightmares. You obviously really enjoy a drink in the camp. Maybe experiment to see if it has a negative effect on you or not? Best wishes and safe riding 👍👍

[@tshansen]

Thank you Dave, appreciate it 🙌🏻 Well, I have tried 6 month completely sober, and I have tried some, and I have tried to drown myself in it. Did not make much difference. I think it is much more complex and something I'm figuring out and becoming better every day 👌🏻

[@nationwyde1]

Booked your ferry trip the wrong way? I thought I was the only person who does that!😂

[@tshansen]

Nope, I guess more of us do this 😂

[@soilsmanadv6673]

It is amazing how different camping is in different countries. It is also amazing how similar the questions are with the green movement, shoving ideas down our governments throats that don't make sense for the people that have to live with the results. You should see how much reflection comes off a solar farm and what it does to the vegetation under and around it. These things sadden me. Along with the thump of the windmills.

[@tshansen]

Yeah, that strikes me as well, when I see videos of remote countries, how camping is there. Always something to learn. And yes, this is a huge issue that will only lead to mistrust towards the government and polarisation. It really sad to see how they choose to flip the fingers towards us again and again.

[@StianSivertsens]

Gøy å følge med på deg 💪👏

[@tshansen]

Nei, er det den karen!!! Lenge siden, og håper det står bra til på den kanten også. Her humper og går det sakte men sikkert framover. 👏🏻

[@StianSivertsens]

@@tshansen Her går alt bra, håper det gjør det samme der🙌

[@franksagstuen2611]

Takker for nok en god film,og jeg håper du har litt materiale på" " lager " til vinteren,når kulden prøver å knekke oss .Hadde ikke tenkt å " bruke opp " disse fimene nå,men det er ikke lett å være nysgjerrig 😉. Fortsatt er det heldigvis litt igjen av sesongen , så vi får utnytte den så godt som mulig. Ha en flott høst Mr Hansen 🙂🛵👍

[@tshansen]

Takk for det Frank. Ja jeg har en tur opp til Lofoten på lur som jeg planlegger å begynne på i Oktober, så det blir nok noe innhold gjennom vinteren også skal du se 👏🏻 Så har jeg alltid noen små filmer jeg driver å lager som dropper inn i mellom her og der. Denne turen her blir også satt sammen til en langfilm når alt er ferdig også. Med litt mer historie rundt det hele. Men den blir nok ikke lagt opp før på nyåret tenker jeg. Riktig flott høst til deg også, satse på at vi får en god september. 🔥

[@kimkelberg]

Hmm as usual, I can only praise your videos, even if it gets a little tiring. 😜🤞 but you can clearly see that you are heading in a different direction now that you are cutting together and have a calmer soundtrack. It is positive in my taste. Damn, that area in Norway you drive in is amazing , hope that 2025 is the year for me Sweden great as always , and the last campspot 👍 And by the Way if the world raid come this Way , i promiss better choice then Jack D 😉 Hope you find the cure for the mind

[@tshansen]

I appreciate you taking the time Kim. Always nice to hear that my most loyal fans enjoy the work I do. It is always a little bit of trail and error, and you never quite know what or how the audience will react. Yeah. I try to feel out and tell more of a story with the footage. Find music that compliments and enhance the feeling or the message I try to send with the footage. Not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but we learn as we go. I will hold you to that. don't worry. One day I'm standing in your garden 😂🙌🏻

[@r.j.b.1236]

Depending your sleeping problems, I would recommend to eat only a small amount of food in the evening (not after 6pm) and drink no coke, so your digestion can change to standby. Ok Jacky might help. 😁

[@tshansen]

I have tried this for some weeks without any help. I tried not to drink, quit alcohol etc. But still no success... but I think I found what triggers it and I might share more about that in the last part of this series. (it will be a long film in the end)

[@webjrnremen8844]

Takk for å være ærlig. Det butter på en gang i blandet for alle Jeg med.

[@tshansen]

Det er kanskje noe av det viktigste tenker jeg. Være ærlig om at livet kan være dritt og vanskelig fra tid til annen, og det er helt normalt. Man må bare finne ut av det og jobbe seg gjennom de tingene som er ubehagelig. Takk

[@shawngreenwood7288]

The weather seems to be working in your favor, what is the hammock like in the rain? Hello from northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😀

[@tshansen]

Yeah. strange enough, weather always seams to be on my side when I'm traveling. But it is also much harder to capture footage when it rains. Not all the gear is waterproof 😂 I find it just as easy, or even more easy to set up when it rains. You put up the tarp first, and work under the tarp and set up everything in the dry. I have a hammock video that shows this and how I can use it on the ground as well if there is no trees

[@damienoconnor8651]

Great video as always. Can you tell us about the mini compressor for the mat please?

[@tshansen]

Thank you. It is the zero pump from Flextail 🙌🏻 if you use tshansen15 you get 15% discount I think.

[@damienoconnor8651]

Thank you!

[@eprohoda]

Tshansen, Like it. nice footage- see you later,=))

[@tshansen]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻

[@DutchThrottles]

Hi Thomas, once again compliment on the editing, great video. Good to hear you are getting some easy nights. By the way I hear that your traveling companion ‘Mr. J. Daniëls’ helps to remove the high pitch sound made by the windmills… 😅😊 I am somewhat familiair with Norway and Sweden and would love to see some form of route on a map or something, if not possible still a great video. Keep in up! P.s: is a hammock really advised or is camping with a tent still easily possible?

[@tshansen]

Jack can be used for so many things (so I've heard) Glad you enjoyed this video mate. This trip was a little bit all over the place, and me editing insane amount of footage into a smaller video. So little hard to have a good GPX file, but I might make one for the final long video edit when all the episodes are done and stitched together. Will look into that. You are fine with both, tent is still easy and good, but I prefer to sleep of the ground (Sweden) and there is so many trees it is much easier to find a good place to hang the hammock compared to pitching the tent when wild camping.

[@andersfridell2903]

Beautiful video again! 😊 Where is that Kings place located? Looked great.

[@tshansen]

It is not far from Karlstad I think. Just search for kongens rasteplass in that area on google maps and you should find it.

[@andersfridell2903]

​@@tshansenAha! Hittade det utanför Kristinehamn, öster om Karlstad. Borde jag ha vetat, är uppvuxen i Karlstad. 😊 Ser mycket fint ut. Tack!

Another great video. How often do you calibrate the compass when you move to new places?

Calibrate the compass?

Thank you so much. The little pump is a unit from Flextail. Incredible little thing that impress me a lot.

Thank you, yes it has been way too long. Been working a lot, been on vacation and my back got another prolaps. But I will be back stronger and I have new content to last all year now I think 😆 Just need time to edit it all. Enjoy

Super beautiful! What camera gear do u use? :)

Thank you Willem 🙏🏻 I use 3 cameras, the Sony a7s iii, gopro hero 12 and DJI Air 3 👌🏻

[@Moto_Yelt]

loved the video! do you by any chance have any discount codes running for Amok stuff? Really want to try out the draumer UL :)

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate. Sorry, but AMOK don't do discount codes normally. But if you find them at a show, expo or similar they tend to offer some discount if you buy at their stand so you can have a feel and try of everything. Sorry

[@Moto_Yelt]

@@tshansen no worries :) Thanks for the reply! will ask them what shows they will be at! Would love to test it first :) I'll get the tarp anyway!

什么时候有时间了，来青藏高原骑行，相信你没体验过海拔在4000米以上的骑行感受

[@tshansen]

确实如此，我从来没有骑摩托车到过如此高的海拔。西藏、喜马拉雅山、尼泊尔都是我长大前想去的地方。在西藏骑行时有带导游的规定吗？你知道吗？

[@荣剑韦]

不用带导游，基本上路线都非常清晰G219，G318，G317，这些都是非常火热的骑行路线，路上会有非常多的人，但这其中可能会堵车

What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. Willam Henry Davies (1871 - 1940) Welsh poet.

[@tshansen]

That was more impactful than I like to admit mate. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@camouflage962]

the windmills are killing, forced onto people living in the surroundings of those...

[@tshansen]

Yeah, there is no doubt that the technology has come a long way, compared when they first started with them. But still I have a hard time understanding how this will make our world better. by destroying so much large areas and with so little wind at times.
