The trip to Mangwood, it Changed Me | Motorcycle Camping part.03

[@NomadSweden]

How awesome to relive this weekend through your eyes Thomas. One of the best times of this year. Let's make this family stick together forever.

[@tshansen]

Yeah, this and the weekend after was just brilliant and such a great time. We really need to do much more of it. Cheers Tjommi, more really soon 😜

[@samhill3496]

@@NomadSweden you fellows stick together all you can. It may not seem it now but these are special times for you. I was the youngest when @ 28 I made several friends at BMW rallies 1983. For years we traveled , rode together, did all kinds of things. Now I'm 69 and one if only a few left. Sadly most have pasted and have quit riding. A few still attend an event by auto. Those were special times doing as you all did many many times all over North America and other places. Very much family to me. So hang out, share life. stay in touvh on a regular basis. You are friends.

[@Braapncamp]

Aaaaw, what a nice flashback i got there from this awesome weekend at Mangwood in. The friendship at this meet up and the upcoming one after this particular weekend is something very special to me. I remember how we just told our selves that with this social energy boost, we just thought we had toppen the summer allready. What a team, brains and with great possibilities. Jonas and Malin at Mangwood Inn is just amazing. Really cool that You made a turn including Tilla Stoll, never been there myself. See You Tjommi and look forward to gather up with this awesome team again. Plans are beeing processen in the Nordic workshop. 💪🤠🔥🤙

[@tshansen]

This weekend, with the follow up weekend at the Overland Expo is some of the best experiences I have had in my adult life. What a team, what a family 🙌🏻 It is unbelievable how fun great minded people can have when doing what we love most. Malin and Jonas will forever be legends for this weekend. And the birthday cake, absolutely love it. The Tilla Stoll was quite amazing to be honest. Cool to see all the old photos of how it used to look before the buildings was destroyed. Higly recommend you to take a trip there. The Nordics will ride again 😆🙌🏻🎥 Skål Tjommi

[@rallynor]

That weekend my friend, will always be remembered as one of the best of 2024. So happy we had this meet and everything was lined up to make up for being away from home on our Norwegian national holiday, 17th of Mai. 🇳🇴 Still think we got a really good welcome from the hosts of Mangwood Inn, with cake 🍰 and flags even we where in Sweden. ❤ Thanks for the good talk we had Thomas, even if we lost out on som nice riding. 😊❤

[@tshansen]

Indeed it was. So cool that we all came together and made this such a memorable weekend. The voice in the night will forever be one who transformed my life going forward. Thank you so much for the great talk in camp. Malin and Jonas will always get visitors from now on. There is no chance going past there without stopping and share stories. Let's see what we can make of 2025. I hope to see you at the MC Messa in Lillesrøm.

[@Stegraio]

Art as always! Thank you all for a great time!

[@tshansen]

Thank you guys for being there not only that weekend but also at Overland Expo and creating so many incredible memories 🙏🏻 Let's do even more of that

[@DragosRDS]

superb ! as always ! your family extends al the way down here as well ! cheers Thomas

[@tshansen]

Thank you Brother 🙌🏻 It sure does and I can't wait to finally get down and meet you 🙏🏻🔥 Cheers Dragos

[@kristianolvestad9838]

Beautiful Thomas. Looking forward seeing you soon again.

[@tshansen]

Thank you Kristian, and thank you for making this and the weekend after such a memorable time. This is only the beginning. I get a lot of questions from people about AJP... I just direct them to your Instagram page. Say hello to Petra and give that dog a bone from me 😆

[@derekgrant9289]

Unbelievable stuff.......one of your best videos yet. Just fantastic. Hopefully you'll get the nightmares under control, as anyone who's suffering from sleepless nights etc, it can be horrendous. Best of luck 🤞👍

[@tshansen]

Wow, thank you so much, that is a huge compliment and something I'm really happy to hear. I'm slowly getting better and finding tools to handle all the stuff that is going on. Cheers ☕️

[@derekgrant9289]

Went through a month of 3 to 4 hrs of broken sleep. Miserable, takes it's toll on mental and physically Heath. But a Man once said to me "The graveyards are full of people who would gladly take our problems" ...... Stay positive thing's could be a lot worse.

[@tshansen]

@@derekgrant9289 That is a really good saying and it is so true. But I think we need to address this in a normal matter. Like it is ok and normal to have issues every now and then without planing on giving up.

[@derekgrant9289]

@@tshansen ohhhh no, totally normal. Think the point is, to fight your demons at all costs, be that touring on the magnificent t7 wr....or talking to friends....or whatever can help. Just no quitting or giving up. Life's too short to be broken, get help wherever possible

[@tshansen]

@@derekgrant9289 could not agree more 🤌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@VitorPires73]

Great video Thomas! Riding with friends is always a plus! Cheers

[@tshansen]

Thank you mate. Yeah, riding with friends is much more important than I remembered. As I'm used to travel alone, this weekend thought me to make sure to travel more together with someone in the future.

[@rolissadv]

Excellent friendly video Thomas 😜🤘🏻 tnx and cheer 🍻

[@tshansen]

Thank you my friend. Hope you are doing great Rollis 🤩 Preka

[@kimkelberg]

Speciel love the first part of the video , what a campsite and stunning place that mine

[@tshansen]

Thank you Kim... I really love exploring hidden gems like this, learning more about history and the stuff that most people forget that has been such a huge part of what we have today. Recommend to stop here and explore it for yourself. Cheers

[@kimkelberg]

@@tshansen mayby i will do that one day , hope that i Can visit Norway for a week next year. and a piece of advice from someone else who also sometimes struggles a bit with finding peace of mind, try a body sds session if you're traveling through Denmark. not so much hocus pocus, but something happens with peace of mind

[@ardc1152]

Hi tshansen been watching all your videos, keep up the great work, regards from Australia

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much for the love and support. Really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it, more to come 🙌🏻

[@markchristianson8178]

That look like one hell of a good time you guys great vid !!!!

[@tshansen]

It was such an incredible time. I could make a video just about that weekend alone, but Nomad Sweden did that already and there is just something with this weekend that is for us who was there (if that make sense) Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@MartinHJ]

Tider som dette, med venner og mennesker som brenner for de samme interressene, er gull verdt. Det gir så mye positiv energi inn i kropp og sjel å omgås med likesinnede på en samling som dette. Det så rett og slett fortryllende ut :) Herlig film med bra folk!

[@tshansen]

Ja, dette var virkelig en helg som satt mye bra ideer til verden og kommer nok til å forme mye av det flere av oss holder på med i årene framover. Det er noe helt eget når man omgås folk som er helt i sync når det kommer til interesser og ambisjoner. Hyggelig at du likte filmen, mulig det dukker opp en langfilm om tur i Lofoten etterhvert også 😇

[@BlackThor15]

Another awesome video Thomas! And this one clearly has not sound effects right form the start 😁. Also great to see biker camaraderie at it's best, thanks for sharing another special moment! 👍👍

[@tshansen]

Thank you Nelio 🙏🏻 Haha, yeah... the morning squeeze is part of the perfect start of a great day. Glad you enjoyed it. And we really can't wait to show more of what we are planing for the future. 👏🏻

[@HeimVegenAdvbike]

Nice! Deeply creative 👌. Some very poetic dialogue there - better english than mine! I appreciate your openness. Thank you for sharing🙏👊👍😊

[@tshansen]

Hello Jeremy 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for the kind words, not sure about the English, but I take it 🤣 I think we need to be much more open about this stuff. So people understand there is more ups and downs than it looks like on social media

[@HeimVegenAdvbike]

@@tshansen yes! agreed!👍😊

Beautiful Thomas 🤩 can we just fast forward to the next season and more of your great journeys on the bike. Cheers bud 👊 Erica & Mike

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Excellent video 📹 Thomas...that gathering of like minded ADV riders looked great..a joy. Beautiful filming too. Glad your sleeping is gradually getting better!. Cheers Steve 💚

[@tshansen]

Thank you so much Steve 👏🏻 We had such a great weekend together and I only showed a fraction, but it was more for us that was there, not so much story to tell others (if that make sense) More of this in the future I hope. Cheers

[@advswede]

Väldigt underhållande och bra film.👍 Man börjar redan blicka fram emot våren och ny äventyr.

[@tshansen]

Takk for det 👏🏻 Ja, neste års sesong er allerede under planlegging, men fortsatt flere filmer fra i år som kommer denne vinteren. 🤩

[@kihestad]

What a perfect ending for this travel series 🤩🤩🤩

[@tshansen]

Glad to hear you liked it Hestad 🤩 Time for new plans, new adventures and a long cold winter to prepare. Hope you are ready 🙏🏻

[@robin.karlsson]

Snyggt som vanligt Thomas. Denna videon fick mig att hoppas på att vintern blir kort och att det blir säsong snart igen. Kul att ni trivdes i på grusvägarna där jag tar mina korta dagsturer. Det finns mycket att åka på här i värmland.

[@tshansen]

Takk Robin. Jeg kjenner selv at jeg gleder meg stort til neste sesong. Normalt sett tar det en måned eller to før jeg kjenner draget mot nytt år og sykkel etter jeg har parkert. Men i år fikk jeg det på direkten. Jeg har nok fått ADV diagnosen 😆

[@argentum_on_glass]

oh say Hi to Silke. she might remember me... the swiss guy. we. met at Grimsel pass :) thanks for sharing the video. I need to come back to sweden .

[@tshansen]

Perfect ending! Really makes me miss summer time. Some nice inspiration for next years adventures. Cheers and have a nice weekend :)

[@tshansen]

Thank you Thomas. Glad you liked this ending for the little rideout to Sweden. I really miss summer as well, it feels like it rained away this year as well. Well, next year we get new chances. And next year we are going BIG.... more on that later 🙌🏻 Nice weekend to you as well.

Thank you mate, everything is going much better and I'm on my way to work this weekend. Hope you have a great weekend as well 👏🏻

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Watching your classy video, Thomas, I realized that I haven't camped a single time this year. Most people in riding groups prefer a room of their own and a restaurant with cool tap beers. I must take my camping equipment out of the wardrobe again next year! Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg

[@tshansen]

You need a new riding group mate 😂 I can understand that getting a room and the comfort around that is preferable for many, but for me personally... that takes away a little of the magic of going on adventures. I really like the camping part.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@tshansen Next year, round Berlin. Brandenburg and Mecklenburg, riding in sand. I do sleep well in tents - as long as the neighbours are quiet ;-)

Magnifique vidéo pleine d'émotions. Tu as beaucoup de chance de pouvoir partager ça avec tout tes amis. J'espère que ton problème de cauchemars te laissera bientôt tranquille. Continue à nous faire partager ces moments. Et pisser dans le lac est bon pour le moral.😂 J'espère que la traduction ne faussera pas mon message. On partagera peut-être une bière du côté de Bergen mi-juin 2025 🍻.

Merci beaucoup, j'apprécie vraiment les gentils mots. Et c'était un week-end formidable avec tous mes amis. Ce sera encore plus le cas dans les années à venir. Haha, faire pipi dans le lac est obligatoire en voyage et lors des chaudes journées d'été. Est-ce que tu pars à l'aventure en Norvège en 2025 ? Santé

[@MARCL-rz5bb]

@@tshansen Oui je viens en Norvège en 2025 pour fêter mon départ à la retraite. Je pars de Toulouse(France) le 8 juin 2025 pour 5 à 6 semaines. Je pense être du côté de Bergen vers le 15 juin. Je me sers de tes vidéos, de celles de Runa Gryd..., de celles de Thor pour préparer mon road-book. Le choix de la moto est en cours (Norden 901, Ducati MTS, Hond Africa Twin...) ce n'est pas évident, il faut se taper 2100kms pour arriver à Hirtshals déjà...🥵 Je pense faire quelques "gravels", les principales routes panoramiques, les Lofoten, Vesteralen et Senja pour terminer par NordKapp. Le retour est prévu par le centre de la Suède. Au passage j'irai voir la mine de fer vue dans ta vidéo.

[@tshansen]

@@MARCL-rz5bb Je sais, c'est un long chemin jusqu'ici, mais quand vous y arrivez, cela en vaut la peine. Les régions du nord de la Suède sont très boisées et il n'y a pas grand-chose à voir. Je recommanderais la Norvège en montée et en descente si le temps est agréable, et plutôt de voyager en Suède depuis Trondheim et en direction du sud. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de défis ici, donc la moto d'aventure que vous trouvez la plus confortable serait mon choix préféré. Assurez-vous de m'envoyer un message avant de venir ici et voyons si nous pouvons réussir à nous rencontrer. Santé

Really good vid TS. Some common Nordic Adv friends. Robert the magician on the grill. Mattias the other carver and boat captain. Friendship is great especially for much needed conversations. We all need that some more than others. Stay after that. Have peace from within. I had saw that place in another vid seems last year. Looks great. Enjoy before it all turns white. I got some new blades. Strong and sharp. All good from east Kentucky USA. Take care.

[@tshansen]

Thank you sir 👏🏻 Robert is doing some tricks at the grill as usual 😂 Mattias was busy looking after his dog, and had to pick up the poo all the time 😆 Friendship and regular conversation with them is so much more important than I let myself think sometimes. Yeah, this is a popular place now for people riding on the TET here in the Nordics. The owners is incredible. What blades did you get? Got myself some new blads as well. Only carving tools but it gives me a warm feeling inside 🤩
