[@tshansen]

What an insane amount of work you have put into this production mr. Hansen!!! 🙏🏻 I'm impressed beyond words. This is going up on the big screen at work this weekend 🔥 Love the way to show the dynamic in the group as well. Such inspiring work 🇳🇴🎥

[@HikingHansen]

Thanks for kind words, Thomas 😊 I truly appreciate it 🤜

A wonderful life.. thank all of you. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@HikingHansen]

I couldn’t agree more ⛺️😊

[@Rurik8118]

Yea !!

[@dougieranger]

Quality adventure and fantastic editing Mads. You’ve excelled yourself here my friend.

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you, Dougie 😊

[@dougieranger]

@@HikingHansenGood to see you so happy mate.

[@fathampeak]

Thank you for one of the best ski tour videos I've ever seen, I really enjoyed seeing the food ideas, the life inside the tent and the techniques used for tent pitching and descending slopes. Inspirational to say the least!

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you for kind words 🙏 I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the video 😊

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

What a wonderful trip ❤❤❤

[@HikingHansen]

Without a doubt 😊🙌

[@FlorianBleser]

Absolut awesome, I love all the outdoor stuff you do up there in the north. You are living in outdoor Paradies. So nice to see you both having fun with your friends in this conditions. Sooner or later I have to move up there. Iam longing for the landscape and the outdoor possibilities you have there. Thank for sharing your adventures ✌️👌

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you for kind words 😊 Yes, we do live in paradise. The plan was to hike back home on this trip - all the way to the front door actually. It’s only 2 hours away from where we live 😊 You are welcome 🇳🇴

Hiya, I sense many people haven't a clue the immense challenge it is to view this video or anything skiing after the doctor says skiing and lower lumbar reconstruction with spinal fusion is the absolute no no of my life. Wow did that hurt...post op of course. I am for the first time in over 5 decades going to view this skiing video. Thank you so very much...well worth the patience.

[@HikingHansen]

Hi there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it worth watching. Hope you recover soon :)

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Congrats with great adventure. You filmed it very well. I like your Helsport sock for the tent. I used light ski bag, but it was too heavy. Do you have a link for that? Anyway, very interesting and exciting to watch. Many thanks.

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you 😊 The tent bag is great. Here’s the link helsport.com/no/tent-bag-for-sled--873-030-V. Keep well, Vladimir.

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

@@HikingHansen Thanks. Looking forward to your new adventures.

[@ashtoddphotography]

Awesome adventure! Lillehammer - hearing that name always brings back fond memories as 24 years ago I lived up in Hörnsjö, on the plateau for 8 months. It was my first taste of proper ski touring and real adventure. Such a beautiful place, I didn’t want to leave! Scotland is home, but I’d leave at the drop of a hat and take up residence in Norway if I was given the chance! Keep up the awesome adventures, it’s clearly in your blood!

[@HikingHansen]

It was a great trip. The intention was to ski all the way to Lillehammer, but rain and heavy winds weren't that tempting. Hornsjøen is a beautiful place. Spending 8 months there must have been a blast. You should come visit one day. Except for a lot of new infrastructure, I guess the place looks more or less the same :)

[@kirstendl1724]

Such a amazing trip and very beautiful scenery. Thank u for sharing your adventures with those who don't have such amazing places. Greetings from 🇧🇪

[@HikingHansen]

The pleasure is all mine 😊 The surroundings were amazing, especially the part between Dørålseter and Rondvassbu🏔️

[@OutdoorPrep]

That climb was almost as big as Haukelisæter to Hellevasbu 😅 Always a pleasure to watch your videos Mr Hansen 🙌🏼 Hope you’ll get to do it fulltime soon 💪🏼

[@HikingHansen]

300 meters of elevation doesn’t seem much, but with a heavy pulk it’s a good warm up for the trip 😊 Thank you for kind words. Yeah, I wish 🤞😊

[@Rurik8118]

Beautiful !! Thank you for sharing🙏🏼 …subscribed Tusen takk (: Kurt 3:52 … was that a good or bad reaction to your fresh aeropress brew ? 🤣

[@HikingHansen]

Welcome to the crew, Kurt 🙌 AeroPress coffee can’t go wrong 🤜 It’s always a success 🤌

[@mikkelnielsen6359]

Fantastisk og inspirerende film fra en sne-jalous dansker! Ville elske en film om valg af grej, pakning af pulk, valg og forbrug af brændstof, og andre tips og tricks! Jeg følger i hvert fald med fra nu af!

[@HikingHansen]

Takk for hyggelig kommentar, Mikkel 😃 Ja, det har jeg vurdert å lege flere ganger. Skal se hva jeg får til 👍

[@patrick-johannes-wolf]

What a perfect trip and video! I could be in the mountains in Sweden/Norway the whole day in winter too, it’s so impressive 👌

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you 🙏 The Scandinavian mountains are truly beautiful 🙌

[@Hegegutt]

Just love your videos! Very good production as always. Could you tell how a "normal" day passes by when you're walking a week-ish like this with the pulk? I mean.. you walk/pause 50/10 or you just go with flow? You practice with 2 hot meals a day? You fire up the primus for lunch as well or is that made from water from the termos, heated in the morning? I noticed you put up the tent for lunch in one of the clips, is that your normal practice unless the weather is too nice? I dont mean to sound like an interrogation, its just my English is a bit Tightybear :)

[@HikingHansen]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Typically, I aim for a balance of about 2 hours of walking followed by a 10-20 minute break. As for meals, I usually stick to one or two hot meals a day. For lunch we usually prepare a thermos with dehydrated meat and vegetables + a standard soup bag for flavor. Putting up the tent for lunch is so worth it. It's warmer, sheltered and cosy - unless the weather is too nice, as you point out :)

[@northernswedenstories1028]

Great trip!

[@HikingHansen]

Thank you 🙏😊

[@thl58]

Knallbra film👏👏👏Rondane....er og vil alltid være spesiell🩵 Skikkelig tøft rute dere valgte som krever fysikk💪Entret dere Venabygdsfjellet fra Rondvassbu og via Eldåbu?

[@HikingHansen]

Takk for det 😊 Vi holdte oss i høyden mellom Rondvassbu og Venabygdsfjellet og passerte nord for Eldåbu (steinbudalen). Flott terreng, men en del tåke reduserte sikten betraktelig. Heldig som fikk en skikkelig godværsdag gjennom hjertet av Rondane.

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Det var en fantastisk film ❄️👍🙂

[@HikingHansen]

Tusen takk, Stig 🤜

[@christerlofkrantz7942]

Fantastisk film! Hvordan liker du den nye pulken? Vurderer å skaffe den samme.

[@HikingHansen]

Takk for det, Christer. Pulken er lett og fin den, men jeg merker ikke stor forskjell fra den gamle pariserpulken. Litt mer utprøving må til før jeg kan uttale meg 😊

[@z0uLess]

Damn, thats a lot of gear 😆

[@HikingHansen]

50 kilos of comfort :)

[@z0uLess]

@@HikingHansen Yea, we all do it differently. I did the same trip this winter, only I slept in cabins and had a 12 kg backpack.

[@HikingHansen]

@@z0uLess fast and light is super fun as well. Fascinating how far you can go each day with a small backpack 💨

[@paulridley9055]

What liquid fuel stove do you use?

[@HikingHansen]

MSR Whisperlite 😊

[@paulridley9055]

@@HikingHansen Why are you using MSR when you have Optimus and Primus closer to home?

[@HikingHansen]

@paulridley9055 it’s more of a coincidence. I had a Primus stove for over 10 years, but when it was time for a new one I wanted to try something new. That being said, I like how silent the Whisperlite is 👍

[@fredrikbjugg9873]

Hvilke turbukse er det du bruker?

[@HikingHansen]

Klattermusen Brage 2.0 😊

[@fredrikbjugg9873]

@@HikingHansen takk, er du fornøyd med den? hvor høy er du og hvilke str er buksen i hvis jeg kan spørre. vurderer å kjøpe!

[@HikingHansen]

@@fredrikbjugg9873 Ja, til vinterbruk er den helt topp 👍 Jeg måtte overraskende nok ha S.

[@tomatron64]

Gøy! Gikk nesten eksakt samme områder bare i motsatt retning i påsken. Tipper kanskje ca. en uke etter dere om dette var i påsken? - I hvert fall vesentlig mindre snø nord for Rondane når jeg var der.

[@HikingHansen]

Ja, det stemmer. Skikkelig flott tur, men det var overraskende lite snø mellom Dørålseter og Grimsdalshytta.

[@tomatron64]

@@HikingHansen Jepp! Når jeg stod midt i Grimsdalen var det knapt noe snø igjen. Akkurat nok til at deres (?) spor var igjen flekkvis - og det var meldt regn hele neste dag. Heldigvis kom det som snø😅

[@HikingHansen]

@@tomatron64 Hehe, det kan tenkes :) Heldig med den. Regn og mildvær kan være trått til tider.

[@W11Y4M]

En request for oss vintercamping noobs: en video om trygg kosefyring og matlaging i ytter/innertelt!

[@HikingHansen]

Takk for innspill, men jeg er ikke sikker på om jeg tør å komme med anbefalinger om fyring i teltet, da det er ansett som risikofylt uansett hvor mange forholdsregler man tar ☺️

[@W11Y4M]

Ja jeg ser absolutt den! Er jo litt tabu tema, og enig at det kanskje ikke er det smarteste å promotere…likevel, for de av oss som aksepterer risikoen, litt frustrerende 😅
