Almost every family in Norway have a cabin in the mountains, or by the ocean. We often spend weekends and holidays there. Some of these cabins are old and very simple without toilet, water, and electricity. Not everybody love the cabin life, and in this video his wife has never been there, even if they have been married for ten years.

I have a cabin, not in the mountains or by the sea. But deep in the forests of Solør. :) Don't go there often, as I live in the forests of Nord-Odal. There is really no point in going there. :D

[@tskilnan]

Depends of how you define a family. In 2023 there was approx. 5.5 million Norwegians and less than 450,000 cabins. That would make one cabin per approx. 12,25 Norwegians. Also remeber that rich people often have more than one (one in the mountain and one by the sea), so there are many families without.

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

@@tskilnan Now, that is true. :)

As other people here have explained, when we refer to a "cabin" we often refer to a small second dwelling, often passed in generations and shared by a whole family, to be used during weekends or holidays. Typically these cabins are in remote locations on the mountains, by the sea, or in the forest, and since they're so remote, they often don't have the amenities we normally have in our homes (stuff like electricity, plumbing, WiFi - although many cabins have solar panels and car batteries to power them) so it's really a great place to just switch off the stresses of life. Many cabins have been retrofitted with both plumbing and electrical generators, but it's prestige in having the most oldschool tech as possible. ... I guess the best way to describe it to a foreigner: Imagine going on a camping trip, but instead of sleeping in a tent, you have a small house.

I did understand that part 🤔 it's like a beach house, but in the woods. I don't think I've been to a cabin before because I don't know anyone who has one, lol. My parents also don't own any property, so we don't have a 2nd dwelling, lol, but I understood the concept and I'm sure it's a great way to get away from it all. ☺️

[@tigerlily-jf6bg]

As a Norwegian - this is spot on!😂 From the increased manual labour due to no water or electricity to the fifteen different kinds of cutlery..🥰

[@Mosern1977]

Most Norwegians can relate to this video :)

Nowadays many Norwegians build huge cabins. Often bigger than their home. But this is more of a traditional cabin , often build by some forefathers. Simple and often without electricity and water. Over time being upgraded of course. My family own a very similar cabin. When spending winter holidays there when I was young we arrived at an icy cold cabin. The oven helped of course, but the timber walls would be dripping with water as the cabin walls began to thaw. Also had to open the windows a bit for ventilation. The next day everything was perfect 😂. But it took forever to get the frost out 😂. And it is shared with many relatives 😂😂. Been upgraded since then, though 🎉

Oh, he definitely knows what he's talking about! He takes the cabin life seriously - in this case, an old cabin probably built by his grandfather, and to which all his descendants have access. Not improbably, it is located on the same property that the family has lived in for generations, and which has possibly been vacated because there is no road all the way to the cabin. Your fathers cousin now owns the old log cabin on the old small farm, and your grandfathers branch of the family has to make do with the cabin.

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

Yeah, the cabin!!! :D I need to grab a beer for this one. :)

vær = weather lær = leather klær = cleather Checks out.

To let you know how ingrained the cabin culture is in Norway: My family has never owned a cabin. I never grew up with spending weekends and holidays on the cabin. I only joined a friend of mine to her cabin a couple of times as a teenager. And I can still relate to every single thing in this song.

[@SaraKvammen-tx7qc]

I love cabin life, as long as there is some comforts.The small cabins without water is not vacation for me.And walking through soaking wet myr(march ?) for ever to get there is not my cup of tea....

[@stinejakobsen9798]

Can you please please please react to Ylvis singing Pie Jesu at gullruten? I have not seen anyone from outside Norway react to it, and it is absolutely the funnies thing I have EVER seen from Ylvis! I would love to see a reaction video of it!

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

It's a copper bowl. :) You should really use more than three days in Norway. You can have my cabine for free for 2 weeks, as long as you fix the roof. :D No electricity, no cell phone, no water or toilet. :D

[@Sour84-t9y]

I didnt get the jokes towards Norway because I am not from there. But I definitely laughed! What a great and funny song!

[@royjohansen7472]

❤️your reaction and hope your next reaction will be to the Words next Mega Superstar 👍, link is Angelina Jordan 10 years of making , Welcome 🥰

[@tst6735]

Heating the cabin depends on many factors. Trust me 😰

[@BastianNorW]

Watching this as a non-Norwegian makes no sense. Sorry 😅 You should've watched one of their other songs. It's just funny to Norwegians because we can relate to all the "terrible" things about cabins, but we still go every year - and love it.

Same in 🇸🇪

This so called teacher takes everything literally. Irony and so on does not work on yanks.

[@NordicReactions]

"So called Teacher"? "Yanks"? Boy, oh boy... 🤦‍♂️

[@milesdust3465]

@@NordicReactions Are you a Yank? Are you a teacher? I do not know, but you are trying to analyze a video made by Ylvis, and blend in facts: yes, you are a Yank.

[@milesdust3465]

@@NordicReactions And foremost, you have no sense of humour.

[@NordicReactions]

@@milesdust3465 I find it hilarious that you are way off. I understood the irony, I didn't take anything literally and I wasn't analyzing, simply reacting to the video requested. You need to practice your perception skills, just saying. =)
