SHOCKED in SWEDEN - Vanlife EXPEDITION Ep.4

Having never been to Sweden before we really didn't know what to fully expect, however, Sweden really has something very special to offer to those wishing to travel here, not only the lovely Swedish people but the epic Swedish country itself is something else.

What are we doing and why have we called this trip an EXPEDITION? The word Expedition is used in all our video titles as this word means "promptness or speed in doing something, with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration" and this fits in perfectly with our plan to not only stay out of the UK for as long as possible, but to sample each country we visit to see if we want to come back for longer in our future travels.

Chuckled when I saw that you did your Swedish grocery shopping in a German Lidl. And subsequently looked at schnitzel, potatoes Berner style and sausages 😂 But I love your video and the energy between you both 👏🏼🤗

[@johnmandy]

Haha.. I’m impressed I found Bavarian mustard too 😁😂 we’ve been in Swedish shops since thankfully Thanks Ken

[@jari2018]

Willys are cheaper than Lidl which lidl learned the hard way -lidls only way to compete is the hardwares whey sell and the german/dutch brands of food + the short counters lidl had is now a past since they were forced to quit with themin sweden ,I personally hated them as any swede

[@kbolt1000]

i had the same giggle, those meatbolls no i pass them :)

[@graffzon]

Loads of Swedish stuff in Swedish Lidl's tho ^^. And schnitzel is popular since Forever in Sweden too, I mean European Good culture except for Italiano is largely similar ^^.

[@KalleFlodin]

Happy to see you guys in my country! 😊

[@mickegatje]

The snake is called Snok (Natrix natrix) in Swedish or grass snake. A non-venomous colubrid snake ...you often see them around or in lakes

[@davidrichardson9839]

Only dangerous if you're a frog!

[@simonantonsson9168]

But are you sure? They can be really similar in color whit our poisonous "huggorm" so if you don't know what you looking for, it can be hard to tell

[@micknordstrom2591]

And they eat vipers, so these black snakes are good. They also have this yellow spots on their head, that way you can tell it is not a viper.

[@johnnywalkertexas1213]

@@simonantonsson9168 Yellow patches on each side of head, it's a snoook

[@Jonsson474]

It’s definitely a grass snake. The two yellow marks behind the head is the tell sign.

[@baronzemo23]

10:22 Fun fact, the hooks, ladders and the white red ring can be used at all times. The hook/ladder is used so that the people in need can grab it and hang on to it instead of a person going to them so that the people rescuing don't fall in and get in danger as well, and usually the ring is thrown out to the water so that the victim can grab onto that as well, when you throw it you stand on the white little thing that's in the middle of the ring (you can take it out of the ring) and then there's a rope in it so you can pull the victim back to shore. This boat, ring, ladder and hook is something we see at every single beach/lake in sweden (pretty much). And of course it can be used during winter season as well if someone has fallen through the ice.

[@NicklasNylander87]

its so fascinating to see your home country through someone else's eyes! You should really come back in high summer or deep winter (like January or such), the summers are just super beautiful and usually not to warm (although these days I dont know what going on with the hot summers...) The winters when the snow comes are just super super beautiful! Cheers mates! great vid.

Fab to see you shopping as well cos that would make me a bit anxious visiting new places. Fab park ups! Stunning views, love a lake x Thank you x

[@johnmandy]

Oh it really is 😁❤️ we can’t wait to go back again and we only left a few days ago.. I do wish I’d recorded more shopping trips - especially in Norway as I’ve never been so picky because it was so expensive 😂🙈

[@roddymcniven8734]

The trees are the same colour in autumn, they’re Sitka spruce, duh

[@AndreasEUR]

What's important to know when visiting Scandinavia is we all have "freedom to roam". I'm not 100% sure about the rules in Sweden, as I'm Norwegian. I know Denmark is a bit more restrictive when it comes to private land. In Norway; You are allowed to walk in any forest you want, you don't have to ask permission. You can even pick berries and mushroom without asking permission. You can camp almost anywhere (2 nights) as long as you're 150m from house/cabin if I remember correctly. In the high mountains or far from people you can stay more than 2 nights. You can also stay longer with the consent of the land owner. Park4Night is a really good app with many good places.

Really nice shot video! Also, when south of dalarna, the only wildlive to worry about is boars and ticks. Farther north wolf and bear are a thing, but will run away long before you see or hear them. I will keep a lookout for more videos!

you forget there is 2 sub arts also, Esping wich is a black viper and Hasselsnok wich is a colorful variant of Snok, often mistaken to be a viper.

@@Mornomgir hazel snok and snok can mate with each other, the offspring's appearance determines which breed it should belong to, so yes 2 spices but kind of the same also.

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

Nice! the snake was a what we call Snok (the name of the snake that is, the Swedish word for snake is orm) and it's not poisonous for humans (eats small rodents, fish, frogs and that kind of thing).

[@crabbypaddy5549]

Yep. that is a Snok and it s harmless., The other type (Huggorm) have a zigzag pattern and is a type of a viper that is somewhat poisonous to humans. Just take it easy if you get bit. Not really deadly but never the less a scary experience if they kiss you and you can feel a bit sick for a while but that is usually from the chock of the bite. :)

[@RippanCSGO]

@@crabbypaddy5549 important to know that Huggorm can be pitch black as a Snok as well so don't go poking around if you not 100% sure. The easiest way is to check either the back of the head or belly of the snok, it should be white/yellow markings. A snok also have round big pupils while huggorm have the classic "snake eyes" Huggorm is also a spring/early summer snake, while snok can be found up to October/November before they go into brumation for the winter.

[@moreliving6047]

Welcome to Sweden Now then you are going so much north don't mis Norway. Lofoten or Senja at least go to Norways coastline and se the Norways "Fjordar" Take your time up in the north you will never see something so beautiful and epic.

[@jaredb9281]

That snake is very common here in Finland, and is called a beach snake here (also called a grass snake in other places). We get them all the time at our lake cottage. Always give me the willies though, even though it's harmless, as the poisonous viper is not that dissimilar in size or colour, so when you spot one it always gives you an initial fright. I had one swimming towards me a couple of years ago, which was even worse, as I couldn't tell the species. My swimming sped up quick smart! I like the delight you have for the facilities in places. They are so nice in the Nordic countries. It always makes me ashamed of what public toilets and other public facilities can be like in NZ (where I'm from) and in the UK. Great to see you having a good time in shitty weather too. It's 100 times more amazing in Finland and Sweden when it's a good summer. Endless summer nights, swimming and bbqing.
