Pushing Boundaries in the Arctic | Winter Camping & Dog Sledding

Dog sledding and winter camping with Kalle and Christine. During four days we headed out along Kungsleden (The King’s Trail) south of Saltoluokta. 19 dogs, Kalle, Christine, and I, Matti. Our goal was the Rapavalley (Rapadalen) and the border to Sarek National Park. Our plan was to do some winter camping, filming, and enjoying life out there.
Kalle Flodin and Christine Kjaer Live in the southern part of Northern Sweden. They have their own two huskies (that they didn’t bring on the tour) but they had never been driving dog sled like this up in the mountains before. Both Kalle and Christine are filmmakers and have their own KZbin channels (see links down below). We had a great tour with all the classic ’pictures’ from the tourist brochures. Sunshine, northern lights, high mountains, frozen lakes, etc.
In this video, you will be able to see a little bit more of what two persons who follow on a tour are thinking. I could use some of their clips in this video when they in an honest way talk into the camera about feelings from joy to tiredness, their doubts, their limits and how it feels being on an arctic mountain adventure like this for the first time.
The hot tent we use in this video is a pretty new tent for us, Nortent Gamme 6PC. Together with a bigger Winnerwell Fast fold stove with a nested pipe, it’s really comfortable camping out there. We get a warm restaurant where we can sit down and eat dry wet clothes, and just enjoy the breakfast. We also stayed two night in the Sitojaure mountain hut.

[@KalleFlodin]

This was easily one of the most amazing adventures I've ever been a part of! Thank you so much for taking us with you ❤ Can't wait to do it again!!

[@azclaimjumper]

Thanks for de-cloaking & saying something, Now I'm about to look at your youtube channel. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks, Kalle! We may have to do something together again. That would be fun. But I know that you will be busy with a different kind of adventure right now. If people want to know more about that, they should head over to your channel ... Take care and see you later! / Matti

[@ChristineKjaer]

Thank you so much again Stina and Matti for this opportunity ❤🙏 This was a dream come true, and something I will remember for the rest of my life. And thank you for all of your cozy dog videos 😍 I never get enough of following you on trips - even if it’s just online.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It was really nice to make this tour together! I hope we will make something similar together again! Welcome back! While we are waiting for you… we continue providing you with some videos from our trips. /Matti (and Stina)

[@azclaimjumper]

I just learned that you & Kalle are having a baby. I wonder if Matti knows? Stina will be the last to know. Thanks for de-cloaking & saying something. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@vivianenavas4321]

Sooo funny🤣! ...and the skiers...🤣!Had too laugh soo much! Looks like an amazing trip! Greate video, fantastic scenery, wonderful people and of corse the most beautiful dogs...want to cuddle them all! Love how good you take care of them!!!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! 😀 The dogs… they are everything to us. They are the absolute most important part of everything. 😀 /Matti

[@jozetrselic]

Matti the saint - patron to skiers 🙂

[@d3bugg3r]

what an awesome video. some day i will be there again!

[@Pink_hornet]

썰매를 타고 가는 장면을 보는순간.. 뭉클해집니다❤허스키가 방향을 틀고 도착점에 멈추는걸 보면서 상호간의 믿음과 소통이 얼마나 중요하지 생각이 드네요! 자동차는 핸들을 틀면 그뿐인데 말이죠😅

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s really teamwork and I’m totally dependent on good dogs. /Matti

[@SiMachiavelli]

Amazing

[@ThierryGosselin]

Amazing , thanks!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you for watching!

[@richardchambers3473]

You have such a good sense of humour Matti

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! I will tell my victims that you are on my side! ;-) / Matti

[@kimhelbo3936]

Another fantastic video of one of your tours, remind me of my one with you some years back Kim from Denmark😉

[@ruimonteirome]

Obrigado!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Wow! Thank you for your support 🙏❤️

[@OutdoorSilence]

Woooow vilka vyer och vilken vacker tur ni va på. Drömlikt 😍😍😍

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Du har rätt. Ofta så står jag där och allt känns orealistiskt vackert. Det är som att det inte är på riktigt! Sedan börjar det storma eller regna och man fattar direkt att det är på riktigt. 😂 /Matti

[@katharinawolf8917]

Best Video from all of you🚀

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s great that you like our videos from our adventures. It seems like most people prefer videos about gear and videos focused on how to use different gear. I agree with you. This videos from the trips is better. 😀 /Matti

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

A lot of fun here.Thanks 😊😊😊😊

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It's fun with people from Denmark together with people from Sweden! :-) / Matti

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I like that too

[@FlorianBleser]

I love it. So nice to watch your videos. I can’t geht enough see you out there with the dogs in this stunning snowwhite landscape with the beautiful mountains and lovely guests . I really enjoy it. Thank you Matti & Stina 😘

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks for a lovely comment!!! We will definitely make more videos. I still have material from two more trips from the last season… but I need more hours/day to be able to edit it… 😂 /Matti

[@FlorianBleser]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA that was not the idea to put pressure on you 😉. It’s good as it is, keep it special. Your doing a good job. Your authentic and real, and that’s very friendly 👍

[@trydexusadventures4047]

Wow! I would love to join you guys on a 4 day adventure. I may have to add you to my bucket list.

[@gordon3988]

Lovely! Wonderful journey and so nicely done! Great camera work!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! It helps a lot when we could use footage from each other. / Matti

[@walkingoffthebeatenpath]

What a great video and beautiful multi-day trip! Currently working as a dogsledding guide in Kiruna and I respect you filming everything while being with the dogs & wilderness at the same time, that is hard work! Its a dream🍀

[@samhill3496]

Great vid, so much of your pain made it so gooood! Very motivational for Christine. She will be a changed person. Yes, absolutely beautiful. I may have to drive the snowmobile and make some trails. The shots looking down the valley make it all worthwhile. In summer it is beautiful but winter takes it to a whoole different level. Til next time, take care, watch for soft ice. No yellow snow at the water hole!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

My pain... Your job! ;-) / Matti

[@johnmoore5293]

Thank you for the beautiful video story. I think you could be friends with the role up chimney if you burn both ends red hot (flip the end you attach to the stove) so they have a tempered memory in the correct shape. To each his own.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

That is a great tip. I will try that. I have a better relationship with the shorter pipes that I use for other tents. Maybe it's too long for the Game 6PC tent... and that's the reason why the rolling pipe didn't work fine. I will use the nested pipe for this tent and then the rolled pipe for my lower tents. / Matti

[@user-us3dl5fn5x]

Hey who makes that stove, that design for the pipes looks pretty good

[@JohanGartner]

Ser så sjukt härligt ut!! Magiska platser å kamintält är Aldrig fel🔥🔥 ha de bäst!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Kamintält alltså... Kan man ha tält utan kamin??? Hur gör man då??? / Matti

[@JohanGartner]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA exakt!! Man blir bortskämd😅🔥

[@jochenhermann7342]

So next time im skiing up there i will be very carefull when we meet a group of dog mushers...also its pretty nice to see you being filmed by another person. very nice addition to the otherwise vlog style.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

You never know what kind of system a group of dog mushers operate on. Do they get points for stolen hats or points for each skier they can hit? It's very rare that dog mushers are as friendly as we are in my groups...Hahahaa... ;-) / Matti

[@onnonugteren2935]

So nice again. :-) why didn't you film in the big tent with the fire? showing how to live in it and relax in it with three persons? :-) Next time?

#thisisHeaven

[@jackdkakk4801]

Underbart! Iaf en gång i livet vill jag testa detta 😀

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Varför bara en gång? 😂 Du vet… det är lite lätt beroendeframkallande så va försiktig. 😀 /Matti

[@helvettefaensatan]

That's a lot higher than Himmelbjerget.

[@AlaskanInsights]

yes eat and drink. it is easy to get dehydrated in these conditions. got to remember to pace yourself too. you overdo it one day and pay for it the 2 days... LOL...

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

In Sweden some people practice a philosophy that says ‘learn by doing’ or ‘learning by mistakes’… I think I have to practice this philosophy a little bit more… 😂 /Matti

[@AlaskanInsights]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Yah I am good at that philosophy. I got blown off a ledge last week during a blizzard. I learned that paying attention is more important than taking a picture. eventually these broken ribs will stop hurting in a few weeks. 🤣

[@lempreintenordique5814]

Hi Matti, i think i cross you in the kugsleden in april... What is the name of your stove please ?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Hello! Could be… I was travelling around between Nikkaluokta/Singi - Saltoluokta and all the way down to Jokkmokk. I’m the only guide in the mountains with this kind of hi-tech sleds. :-) The stove is a Winnerwell Fast fold. There is a link down below. Check so you get the one with the nested pipe if you want exactly the same. /Matti

[@azclaimjumper]

Christine & Kalle are having a baby - something I just learned by watching Kalle's youtube channel. I wonder IF Matti knows that? 2 new youtubers as guests that have never been dogsleding; your guests made the right choice in selecting YOU for their guide/instructor/moral support leader. And your guests speak really good English. I hope there are links to your guests videos. 4-days, 3 nights? This is the first time you've passed skiers along the trail, lots of skiers doing it "their way". It always puts a big smile on my face every time you verbally tell the dogs which way to go. Your guests definitely have the right tent, a Hilleberg Nammatj which tells me they know a thing or two about winter camping. I thought I heard them say they are Danes (Denmark) - Otto Walkes sings a great song with André Rieu entitled, "Danes Don't Lie" 29:55; your guests appear to be in grrreat shape 38:40; Nice to hear Christine expressing herself. I thoroughly enjoyed ever second of this v-e-r-y interesting real-life outdoor adventure. I now want to take a look at Christine & Kalle's youtube channels. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It's nide to edit this video when I could use their footage also. :-) / Matti

[@camouflage962]

hey....

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

👋

[@michaelspooren9213]

why do the guests have 5 dogs instead of 6?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It's only on our 12 day expedition tour that guests have 6 dogs. /Stina
