Sweden - A Journey to the Wilderness Road - Part 1.

[@TheNorthEastWildcamper]

One word.... SUPERB..... That just about covers not only the location but the video and its content. Bravo fellow Mackem! 😁

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers mate! 👍

Great video again, keep going !!

Fantastic! Worked in the Swedish Forest before

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Amos71415 cheers! 👍

[@cadd5574]

Your channel is awesome, educative and brilliant. Being from Canada, we're used to wild camping and overland, and I found exactly what I was searching for a possible Europe trip. Many thanks!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers David! Scandinavia is a great place to travel through. I envy you living in Canada with all that vast empty wilderness 👍

[@stephenwaddell6801]

nothing better than coming on here and finding loads of vids to catch up on, awesome work guys

[@TimAnkarsson]

Welcome to Sweden! Hope you enjoy your stay here! 👋🏻

[@lastfanstanding999]

awe... girl relocating little trees... ! :D

[@ashropshirelad]

Great to see you back on the air again and ‘WOW’. You’ve upped your game when it comes to videography and editing! Love all the b roll and the drone shots! Looking forward to the series!!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. We managed to slow things down a bit on this trip which allowed me to concentrate on the filming a bit more. Cheers!

[@raymondlogister6828]

thank you for this great video. And sweden is absolut my favorit country in europe. you can verry easy wild camp. And the nature is awsome.

[@richardsanders2794]

I’ve been looking forward to your latest adventure and I’m not disappointed. Thank you.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks Richard!

[@FredJumayao]

Started watching your channel, my wife and dream of doing an Overlanding adventure soon. Great video. Safe travels.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Fred! Good luck with getting your trip sorted.

[@aniston73]

@ 13:54 you can see a Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) land in the pine behind their heads.

[@Wildsoul62]

What an absolutely fantastic video! I am very fussy about what I watch on youtube nowadays, but this ticked every box for me.. great filming editing and informative. Total pleasure to watch and enjoy. You really deserve many more subscribers and views ... hope you get them. I really hope that one day i can do a similar adventure. Best wishes Vee

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Vee, thanks for the positive vibes! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I'm pretty sure you'll be out doing similar trips before long. All the best!

[@shelbyshadow91]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. I live in the US, in northern Minnesota. I have been lamenting the passing of favorable camping weather. You have inspired me to get out there and enjoy the late Autumn weather before it really gets too cold. Thanks again, and keep the wonderful videos coming. Happy travels to you both!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it's definitely worth getting out in the Autumn weather, there's an old saying that goes 'theres no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes' which is almost true! The 5 minutes it takes to get into bed, and the 5 minutes it takes to get out of bed are the worst I find, all the best and safe travels!

[@kclyons]

Very happy that I stumbled upon this series. I am moving from the United States to Germany in August, and was skeptical that it would be worth it to bring my 4Runner (Hilux Surf) and rooftop tent to Europe. This series has proven that there is abundant overland travel opportunities all over. Can't wait to see for myself very soon!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Kyle! It might take a bit more effort to find wilderness here in Europe compared to the USA but it’s out there. Germany is a good place to be, you’ll have north, east, west and Southern Europe to explore 👍.

[@stephennorris8149]

Yet again another great video, well done guys! New kit on the truck too

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Stephen!

[@MCQBushcraft]

I’m a little late to watching this series. Really fantastic videography and narration. Ties it all together and makes us feel like we are there. That part with the water “looks like piss” almost spat my tea out laughing. Megan said exactly the same thing. We really want to do the wilderness road next year so that is really helpful. Thanks for filming

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Mike, thanks for the comment! I must admit, I took some inspiration for the narration from your recent series. Hope you guys are enjoying the winter up there, it looks fantastic! 👍

[@popeyethesailor9]

Great viewing as ever and very well put together! It’s like your favourite tv show coming back on👍

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Stuart 👍

[@sebastianspychala]

Another amazing video , good to see you again guys, what a fantastic adventure ... -1 and the Snow..... wooo hoooo, Take care and all the best , Thank you so much for your videos !!!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

sebski cheers! Thanks for the comment! 👍

[@bugikraxn]

Great video, nice sceneries! The colored water which is rather common in many creeks, rivers and streams amongst Scandinavia commes from tannin und is usually as save to drink as the clear one. Franz, bugikraxn

[@regina3045]

"Wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human spirit" As soon as I heard you say it, I was like -Yep, that's it! (I've never heard that quote before, so thank you) Greetings from Sweden :)

[@richardbrabbs8283]

Great vid as always really enjoy the bush craft tips beautiful place stay safe guys look forward to the next one

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Richard!

[@Shep-nf3wk]

It’s great to see you guys back.some really excellent film work yet again. The old bus is looking good. It’s been well worth the wait for this new series. Can’t wait for the next instalment.great job.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Shep, thanks for the comment! I appreciate it, all the best!

[@discovering_adventures]

Good to get this series back up for another watch. We were due to be taking our trip there this year

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hopefully you'll get there, although next year is probably more likely!

[@discovering_adventures]

@@Adventure-Outdoors - I've written of this year, both land rovers have been parked up, and one sorn until there is some certain with the whole corona saga. Bonus that I've just been offered the jab, just got to hope Europe is welcoming after Brexit.

[@vegvisir6695]

Great channel. I am glad I found you. Keep up the great work!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Vegvisir66 Cheers!

[@joeb-jk7gd]

Great to see you back, fantastic content, I always look forward to your vids. I appreciate the time and effort that is put into these.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Joe!

[@UltraFlynn]

You two are such a lovely couple and you have the best adventures. You have really stepped up with the videography as well. Totally immersed in your journey, great story telling. Excellent work.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Matt! I did make the extra effort with the camera on this trip, thanks for the comment!

[@zakclassics44]

Great vid I was waiting for a new adventure Looking forward to next episode

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Zak! 👍

[@nesta8273]

People like you two thrive off the "allemansrätten"-law here in Sweden and its amazing to see how people are using it to explore. To us, the older population of Sweden, the Allemansrätten-law is like the constitution to americans. Hopefully the younger population looks at it the same way, something to be proud over and let others take advantage of for both mental happiness and stimulation for the body. I know this is 2 years ago but during these Corona times, i do think its more important now then ever to do something to remove yourself from the mentally challenge we face by being locked up at home. Stay safe.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Nesta! Yes the allemanstratten law is great; definitely something worth protecting. I noticed how much the Swedes respect the outdoors; there was no mess or vandalism; the opposite of what happens here in the uk. I'm really looking forward to returning as soon as I can. All the best 👍

[@danwhiteman2529]

Great Video! Just found your channel, I have a lot of catching up to do. Happy Trails!

[@MrBenjaminoneill]

I can’t wait to head here myself one day. Really enjoy your films, wishing the both of you plus the hilux many successful adventures

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers! 👍

[@TvanBoven]

If I am not mistaken the waterfall is in Fulufjället National Park. I remember visiting that park about ten years ago with my future wife. We were doing a hike and we heard the call of the wolves in the far distance ... Unbelievable. We are going back there next summer with our kids. This series comes at the right time as we are preparing our trip. And I fully agree with the rest of the comments. Great filming, beautiful shots, good editing ... a joy to watch.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks! Yes it's the same waterfall, what a great place to take your kids, it'll be a fantastic experience for them!! All the best!

[@antonw-uw4ov]

The water in some streams is brown due to high levels of iron in the ground. It's safe to drink.

[@wat_joe_do2179]

No. It's not from iron. It's from the moss it's been filtered through. Usually white moss. White moss functions as a cleaner, but gives the water that colour. If you put white moss and charcoal in a tube you built your self a water purification filter.

[@flapbean]

Welcome back & wow ! Editing & voiceovers are bang on my friend. I’m going to enjoy this series, particularly with a touch of bushcraft thrown in. We’re looking a Norway in April & some new vehicle preps underway for that. Your trip resonates of beautiful Scotland. People still laugh when we tell them we take a full duvet and our own pillows! The advantages of a RTT! “It looks like piss” 😂😂😂

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers! There's nothing like camping with a duvet, I just wish we remembered the hot water bottles for this trip!

[@maxkoeable]

Outstanding video all around! Really enjoyed watching it! The editing, narrating and filming were top notch, thanks for sharing your adventure! :)

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Maximilian Körfer Thanks! 👍

[@johndiaz7240]

Thanks for sharing ,we have only wild camped a few times and enjoyed it. We see you have good camp gear,AutoHome,Snow Peak ,Partner Stove etc , helps to have good gear. We are also not ashamed to check into motels for cold or heat.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hi John, yeah we've invested in some good equipment, I find that it pays for itself in the long run. The initial investment may be high but I'm confident that the gear will last me 15-20 years easy enough. All the best!

[@fredwilkinson5059]

i was wondering when you would post again. looks like a great trip looking forward to the next episode,

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Fred, all the best!

[@discovering_adventures]

Great to see you guys are back 😎 Been looking forward to this series especially after seeing the photos up on Instagram. Love the chilled (no pun intended) feel to the video

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Mark!

[@Ai-em2pu]

Great video that made me fall in love with my country all over again! Hot tip (pun!) from a Swede: I'm like you - I don't like sleeping bags. The best thing you can buy to keep warm is sheep skins. Sleeping on the wollen side will help you stay warm and toasty. As with almost everything - nature does things better. ;)

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks Suzie, we’re currently canoe camping in Scotland and we’re sleeping on sheepskins! (With 2 wool blankets and a sleeping bag, toasty).

[@andybonnici5761]

Great journey! What month of the year was this?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks! It was the end of September beginning of October. At that time of year I found it to be still relatively mild in the south but much colder further north.

[@Lenny_Chan64]

I simply love your videos. You make it like we're actually there with you. Thank you for that. I'm almost finished with my Ford F150 setup here in Germany and I'll be hitting the Sweden forests starting next Spring. Maybe one day we could meet up. Keep up the great work!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Lenny! Good luck kitting out your F150, Sweden would definitely be a good testing ground for your camping set up 👍.

[@jujuenhautdelacolline2852]

hello, great video, nice music, pretty cool trip ! can you tell me where you find your fire-table ? thanks

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

julien AUBRY hi, thanks! It’s a Snow Peak firepit. I bought it from Drifta. 👍

[@jujuenhautdelacolline2852]

Europe Overland and Outdoors thank you and continue to enjoy our life with your videos

[@ani4x4]

A jewel!!!! Bushcraft, overlanding.... my two favorite hobbies. The only thing to complain is that you drive a Hilux ;) One cuestion: could you tell the title of the song at the begining of the video?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hi Ani, thanks! The song is called 'fresh fallen snow', I got it from the KZbin audio library. Leave my Hilux alone!! 😜

[@ani4x4]

@@Adventure-Outdoors :) Thanks a lot!!!! :)

[@SwedishVilsten]

I heard what you said about going of season. But first week of September and 2nd week of October is the prime moose hunting weeks. Expect forest roads like these to have a decent amount of trafic as people posting up for the hunt.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Yeah we visited between those times, the last few days of our trip we saw a few hunters along the forest roads. Next time I think we'll visit before the hunt starts in September, it might be a bit warmer in late august too! 👍

[@PC-91]

"There's a litre and half there.. but it looks like PISS" 😂 Just discovered your channel and I'm loving your videos so far mate! Great editing, humorous and informative!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers mate!

[@stevenq3840]

Thank you for sharing your adventures, very enjoyable. After our kettle letting us down for the last time, you’ve inspired us to buy the ghillie kettle. 👍🏻 I’d like to help the beer fund but not sure you’ll post to Australia, please let me know, you simply cannot get these great kettles here. Thank you👍🏻

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Steven! I'll have a look into it, although I've just checked the DHL site and to post from the UK with them was incredibly expensive 😲!

[@stevenq3840]

Europe Overland I can imagine, thank you 😬

[@waytogo2791]

Nice to see you back on the road..er..graveltrack. The Hilux has received some new Kit, I see. Did you up the suspension too? Beautiful footage! 👌 Keep it coming.🙂 Cheers from Switzerland

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks! Yeah we fitted a swing arm bumper, which enabled me to get the spare wheel out from underneath the vehicle. I haven't upgraded the suspension yet but it's on the list, I went through a process of trying to lighten the load that we were carrying, although I'm not sure if I managed to shed more than 20KG but I tried! All the best!

[@NigelNaughton]

Greetings from America. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Looks absolutely beautiful. If you get a chance come visit us here in USA. There's some beautiful scenery and millions of acres of National Park/National Forest land. Cheers.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Nigel! I’d love to head over to the USA and spend a few months in the National Parks. You guys are lucky to have all that space 👍.

[@kranson8514]

Second the previous comments, envious currently looking for a very similar vehicle to prep myself. Love the idea of that getting away from the rat race with the Mrs, well I have to say that lol. your roof rack set up is interesting I've not yet seen a rack to suit that roof top tent to also attach the wrap round awning. let alone that top box. questions questions not even got the car yet lol. Any way guys enjoy this new adventure stay safe on those tracks and remember where you put the bear spray😉 cheers!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Kevin! Thanks for commenting. My roof top set up is a right hash to be honest, the tent sits on the canopy on top of 2 frontrunner roof bars, but the awning is attached to 2 Thule bars which are bolted directly to the canopy rails, it's a right mess but it works OK Lol.

[@kranson8514]

Europe Overland thanks for coming back to us, look forward to the next post. You realise your living it for some of us until our time permits enjoy bud.

[@nealeford1964]

With all the crap going on in the world, I always feel a little better about things when I watch you guys. Very inspiring. Thankyou

Have you ever made up any stickers or over stuff with your logo? It's a cracking little Design, I would definitely buy

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hi, I did plan on getting some stickers and stuff up on the website but the idea was put on the back burner, maybe I'll look into it again and try and get some sorted!

[@magneto263]

Great to see you posting again I have missed your videos. My next purchase for my Hilux will be a new stove. See you have a cook partner. Would you reccomend? If so what size? Cheers both!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Graham! Yeah I'd definitely recommend the Cook Partner Stove, I've got the 22" version. It's big enough to get two frying pans on and it's built like a tank. I bought mine direct from the USA, the postage cost a bomb but it still worked out cheaper than what I could get it for in the UK. They're definitely an investment but they should last for decades.

[@raki2870]

What Fjällräven trousers do you have? Are they good?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hi, they are the Vida Pro, they are excellent!

[@zpitzer]

In Sweden you have to keep your headlights on you'r car on all the time, even during day, there is a fine if you don't. Sounds crazy I know but it's proven that others can spot your car early.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

I know. I had them on all the time apart from once or twice on dirt roads where we’d turned the engine off to get out of the car and film for a few moments.

[@discovering_adventures]

Enjoyed watching this trip so much I'm back to re watch. You really manage to bring the feel of where you to the videos. This time of the year always get my mind in place for a trip away. Happy Christmas to both you and Trish

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Mark! We were also talking yesterday about where to go next year, still can't decide though, have you got anything in mind? Happy Christmas and all the best for the new year!

[@discovering_adventures]

@@Adventure-Outdoors In all honesty, no nothing for sure. I've considered a cold trip like this but always been a bit apprehensive as to how long I could fight the cold. Preparation is key with a trip like this. Unfortunately I'm not in the same boat as you and my wife has different interest to me (I love the solitude and peace, she happily spends time chatting with friends), so I travel alone in my vehicle but also travel in tandem with a friend with similar attitudes to me. If a trip does come into fruition it will more than likely be southern Portugal

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

This trip did take a bit of extra thought that’s for sure! It was ok 95% of the time, just the mornings that were a bit of a struggle. It’s a shame your wife isn’t in to overlanding, although it’s thoroughly understandable; it’s not everyone’s idea of a holiday! Portugal sounds good.......guaranteed sunshine, cheap booze, great food, plenty of trails 👍.

[@discovering_adventures]

Europe Overland - I'll keep you posted. Hopefully a trip will take place May/June time, if not it will be left until September. I love the idea of a cold camp and the Swedish countryside looks so scenic
