[@peterjohnson6273]

You two are great! You don't have 'misadventures', you have LIFE! "I live here now!", that's funny! Thanks for putting your video together. :>)

[@ChristyHikes]

An amazing tale of two souls that were brought together by meeting on the PCT. We sometimes don't get what we want, but we get what we need. Thank you both for this wonderfully video!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

😊 Well said, thank you very much.

[@mt.bikeher270]

Loved watching every minute of this. Amazed by your documentary skills, and it's about the journey, not the destination. :) Happy trails.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

It's definitely all about the journey! Come what may... Cheers and thank you! ✌️

[@hc2328]

Loved your video and you hiks. It is nice to see people not fixating on a goal, but enjoying the journey. / a hiker from Sweden

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Glad you liked it! Indeed! Goals are important but so is spontaneity and going with flow when the situation calls for it. Mostly, we were just grateful to be there experiencing it all. ✌️P.S. We really like your country!

[@MagicshineLights]

Wonderful!!🤩

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@katdjordjevic]

your voice is so soothing!

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

Your two-month journey across the Arctic looked amazing, even with the challenges. Crossing the Arctic Circle, hiking the Lofoten Traverse, and exploring Sweden’s Kungsleden - what an adventure! The video turned out great too - I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thanks Simon! P.S. Great job "networking" here! I should reach out to fellow creators more often.....

[@MagicshineLights]

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Hello Buddy! That’s awesome!!! Somerset is so beautiful. I really enjoy the Laurel Highlands trail and Ohiopyle (Fayette but close enough 🙃) is incredible. It’s great to hear from you and I hope you’re enjoying the camping trip!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Maybe you're already on the Kungsleden but I want to wish you the best of luck and add that anxiety is also just excitement!!!! Enjoy the journey and happy trails!

[@daveysdash]

Great video, Ryan! Also congrats on marrying a positive and beautiful lass. Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davey.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Well said Davey! A poet!

[@mariamjehn7071]

Precious people!! My Lord .. 😂❤❤😮😮😊

[@scottstevens6380]

Thank you.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you too!

[@lucydouglas1621]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I am also allergic to mosquito bites and for years avoided traveling anywhere where they are bad. But this year I got a mini Beurer Insect bite healer and it has changed everything! I take it everywhere with me now. I hope this can also help Ilse and any others who are allergic.

[@rollsandfloats]

Yes, plans are meant to be changed, if not completely abandoned altogether! In my experience, if you travel in the back-country, changing plans can be a weekly, if not daily, part of your life. You demonstrated lots of flexibility, rolled with the punches and had a great time. That makes it easier to get through life happily. Glad you're embracing life together and making great memories. Thanks for making this video and sharing those moments and scenery! And WOW! Those bugs were insane!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Those bugs...... 😅 ❤️

[@gonesurfing8603]

Amazing adventure and beautiful storytelling! It's great to see Kungsleden from your perspective as I had been there at the same time when I hiked Gröna Bandet :-)

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you! That’s awesome! We met a guy who was hiking it as well though I’d never heard of it at the time.

[@3TruckProductions]

Like all that you create, that was a beautiful film. Thank you for making and sharing it. Ilse has such a rare, pure sweet spirit. what are you doing this summer?

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the films and I agree (obviously!). I'm grateful to have her in my life. This summer... a short bikepacking trip in Austria but, mostly, saving money for a BIG trip next year. You?

[@adambarker3130]

A beautiful film by two lovely people. Reminds me of my 1977 trip from Bergen to Mo i Rana to Stockholm in an 850cc Mini. We accidentally bought whale meat, because "hval biff" was the cheapest meat in the store. Since we'd bought and cooked it, before discovering what it was, we ate the fishy lumps with regret.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Oh no!!! We only ate some dried whale meat. It wasn’t my favorite thing but edible…. Sounds like an awesome journey though!

[@stewartjarvis3384]

You two are awesome. I love your videos. Thankyou you have completely cured me of any desires to hike in blackfly infested countries.😂

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Hahahaha, Avoid infested regions at all cost!

[@mariamjehn7071]

Thank you i

[@RyanKodakBrown]

You're welcome

[@eduardherak8599]

Beautiful video super ⛰️⛰️🏔️💪🏽❤️👍👍👍🌞

[@jan_nilsson]

Great video, that showed a fair representation to how it is up here in the north of Scandinavia! I love your attitude to life and what it brings on daily basis, keep up the positive approach and you will get a great life! Sorry for the bugs, they are a menice, that's why i hike later in the season when thereä's been a couple of nights below freezing, and the colours in the autumn is so beautiful, during summer everything is green (which is nice), but in the autumn there's red yelliow green and the air feels even cleaner, hope you can come back in mid / late august - beginning of september some year.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

The bugs really are a menace! But, as my wife just told a friend, it’s their (your?!) home not ours! Attitude really is everything. Not sure how a pessimist could handle adventures like these. There’s often too much opportunity for complaints! 😂. We’d love to return. Sometimes we talk of a winter hike even. I’m sure it would be difficult but so beautiful!

[@jan_nilsson]

@@RyanKodakBrown During winter there's no bugs :D Sadly it's dark around the clock so there's not much you see, that's from okt/nov to feb, from march to may it's really nice, lots of snow, but light during the days and not extremely cold, myself prefer autumn tho.

[@rschreck876]

Man….eff those bugs.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Our sentiments exactly 😂
