Awesome place and such a pretty Hut Warden! I can't wait to see more from you. 😀

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey! Im happy to hear that!

[@cosmicwings7211]

Hey Emma. Fantastic video! Breathtaking scenery. I am glad that your dad gave you company on your way to your new job. Brave folks you are. Hiking sooo long. All the best for your new life. Love from very hot Bali.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey Bali! Im happy about him joining us as well!! I like a bit of a challenge and so does he so it was perfect for us! Best wishes to you, cheers Emma

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Ay up. Like the first of this series I sat enthralled watching whilst feeling both envious and inspired. What a journey in, 18 hrs hike *wow! Just about to watch Pt3 👣👍🤜🤛

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey thanks you so much for your support! This really makes my heart warm!

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Just incredible scenery in this video along with a good story!

[@EmmaaNilss]

Thank you very much! Did it as good as I could :)

Beautiful I remember hiking national parks for 6 weeks with 18 to 22 kilos on my back and it was very difficult, and it caused minor injuries repetitive strain injuries, I always hike with 3 hiking poles, well I need 2 of them for my tent also, now I would love to just day hike without putting stress on injuries, What a fantastic video, I would like to spend longer that 7 weeks out there as a hut warden 13 weeks, maybe 1st week of June until the second week of September? but the window of opportunity to achieve these hikes safely are within the 7 week period, I notice Hikes in Iceland and parts of Norway only have very short periods, But I was hiking an extended trail of Trolltunga to Odda in Norway for 3 nights, and noticed there was a safety warden or maybe 2 people, staying in the safety wardens hut in late September, but that is a very popular trail, and easier to travel to for a safety warden,

[@EmmaaNilss]

Yes! So in Sweden there is wardens from middle of June to middle September, but everyone is doing different periods because its hard for one person to do all of it, especially if you have a job or a family back home! For me 7 weeks were just enough

[@annabutz4655]

Dear Emma and Cornelius, my brother found your youtube channel(s) a few days ago and we couldn´t believe that you two actually make youtube videos! We had the honor of meeting you two on our hiking trip this summer. We arrived at Tjäktja being mentally and physically exhausted from the trip but your kindness and hospitality really warmed our hearts. As cheesy as it sounds but you two inspired us to keep going and help others along the way too. We still have the packages of food you gave us to always remember you two amazing hut wardens! Tack sa mycket and greetings from Germany! Anna and Tim

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hi Anna and Tim! This comment made both my and Cornelius day. We are both sitting here with tears in our eyes now. We spent a lot of time thinking about how you guys were doing so its a relief to hear you even got inspired. I'm so happy you kept on going because it seems to me you guys are made of something special. Both me and Cornelius feel honored that we could be a little puzzle piece of your hiking adventure. Thanks you so much for commenting! Looking forward to see you out in the mountains again!

[@annabutz4655]

@@EmmaaNilss Thank you for your kind words, it really warmed our hearts! Keep up your great work and maybe some day our paths will cross again:)!

[@CaptCanuck4444]

That's a good Dad right there.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Oh yeah! I can nothing but agree to that! He's awezome!!

[@Borrtex]

Amazing! I was always curious about the life of wardens who take care about the huts!

[@EmmaaNilss]

Is that so? Well, then I'm happy I could give you a few answers. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Borrtex]

@@EmmaaNilss Yes! Although I admit it was not in Sweden, but in Iceland. We hiked the Laugavegur trail and the huts were so far away from the civilization. It must be a big difference to stay there for the night only, in comparison of living there weeks or months and taking care of everything!

[@EmmaaNilss]

@@Borrtex yes it is a huge difference. I hike kungsleden last year and this was not at all the same experience!

[@emmaengstrom4969]

Underbart att titta på! 😊

[@EmmaaNilss]

Tack, vad glad jag blir! :)

[@MAZ501]

İ love it, waiting for the next time.😊👍

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey thanks a lot! Appreciate it more than you know :)

[@jasper1358]

Amazing how this just showed up in my feed! I stayed at the Tjäktja hut at the start of september and it was one of the highlights of my whole trip. It was such an amazing place. The views when you're up on the hill next to the hut were absolutely amazing (thanks for suggesting this). Your warm welcome with the homemade lemonade also fitted perfectly with the smaller but very cosy nature of the hut. This video really brings me back to this amazing experience, thank you!

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience! Thanks for watching and commenting. I think we both can agree upon that we need to go back one day!

[@cyrusseEr_Ly]

Amazing opportunity! You made a great video too. The solitude of that lifestyle must take a lot of self confidence and mental maturity

[@EmmaaNilss]

Yes you are right! It is not always as easy as it seems. I'm thinking of doing a part 3 speaking a bit about that. Would it be interesting?

[@cyrusseEr_Ly]

@@EmmaaNilss That would be SO interesting and helpful to a lot of us. Excellent filming and editing quality shown in this video!

[@dusty7264]

Cool video 👍 looks like a fantastic job

[@EmmaaNilss]

Thank you very much! It sure was. Thanks for watching.

[@halothefluffyderg]

I used to work together with Cornelius a few years ago at Klättercentret, absolute amazing lad and he has some great stories. Didn’t expect to see this today haha

[@EmmaaNilss]

Couldnt agree more! He is great, im gonna show him this and he'll probably be really happy 😁

[@halothefluffyderg]

@@EmmaaNilss tell him Victor Stålbo sends his regards 😊

Hey! Thank you very much. I'm hoping to inspire more people to go explore.

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

Thank you for sharing. Your highest mountain may not be a monster but it is still beautiful and it is yours … looking forward to next vid release as the story continues

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey thank you very much for that! No I agree with. There is nothing wrong with that mountain. It is perfect just the way it is. Its just funny how you have a picture in your mind about something that is completely off. Makes me realise to never trust my preconceptions.

[@wendybauman4074]

Gorgeous! Looking forward to part 2. ❤

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey thanks. Im working on the third part, just started tho so gonna take some time until its done.

[@eldersine]

Great narration. Sweden has such beautiful landscapes!

[@EmmaaNilss]

Thanks you very much. I can only agree. I get blown away every time I go there!

Beautifully made video, great work on this one Emma! Can't wait to go back and do Kungsleden again, it's been many years now.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hey! Thank you very much! I obviously just came from there but I already wanna go back :)

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely insane video, your shots are truly breathtaking here. What a majestic scenery, such a freaking gorgeous landscapes. 🔥🔥

[@EmmaaNilss]

Im happy you did too! Thank you so much, it really means a lot for to me! Best wishes back to you

[@ItsHenrik]

Great video! When you leave the hut going via the kungsleden should be less rocky. Between Sälka and Kebnekaise there should also be Singi if I remember correctly.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Yes exactly. We stayed both in singi and sälka on our way there :)

[@Hampusdrw]

Nice! Jag gillar att ni delar upp hela vistelsen i flera filmer, blir lättsmält och man blir taggad på nästa 😁

[@EmmaaNilss]

Kul att höra! Tack hampus ❤️

[@rbphilip]

Jag tåg en hel ledig dag på Singi. Så vacker.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Ja det är verkligen så himla fint! Man får verkligen passa på och ta sig tid att njuta lite när man tagit sig hela vägen ut dit så det tycker jag du gjorde helt rätt i!

[@bengt_axle]

Hej från Kanada! Has it snowed as yet this winter? Or is this just the permanent snow that remains on top of the mountain? Are winters milder now in this area or other parts of Sweden than compared to 20-30 years ago? Or about the same? Very nice adventure.

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hi! Kebenekaise is always a snowy peak. A few of the other peaks in the video has gotten a bit of snow. 1 of september the first snow came. I would say its a huge differece in weather compared to 20-30 years ago. Winters are milder och summer hotter. I'm brought up in the south of sweden and 20 years ago when I was a kid we ALWAYS had snow during christmas. That never happens anymore. I've also heard a lot of stories from the north about how the weather is changing and how it affects the farming of reindeer in a negative way. Unfortunately this is happening all over the world and im afraid you also experience the climate change over in Kanada. Thanks for interesting questions and for watching! Cheers Emma

[@bengt_axle]

@@EmmaaNilss Yes, it is quite shocking in Canada too. We always had snow by 10 December, but today 12 November it is almost 15C! The normal is about 3C. Summers are longer and warmer as well, with more insects and ticks.

[@jkoperski9925]

Hi Emma, er du norsk? Jeg er fra Tyskland, men syntes å høre norsk i videoen din. Alt det beste til dere og takk for innsikten i livene deres som "hut wardens". (Hva kalles det på norsk?) J

[@EmmaaNilss]

Hej! Inte norsk men svensk är jag! På svenska heter det Stugvärd :) Tack för att du tog dig tiden att kolla och kommentera det uppskattar jag verkligen!
