Woodland Lunch and The Hydra Buzzard | Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen

[@jimmycusetownprepardness578]

I'm getting a reoccurring theme and that is to simplify things life doesn't have to be so complicated and at this point in my life I need to enjoy simpler things that I used to enjoy in my youth.

[@kevinwilcox1372]

Thank you Bjorn for allowing us into your life. You are a gift to us!

[@himher16]

I was Bjørn to watch your shows! Ha ha. Seriously, I will say “I’m gonna relax with Bjørn until my phone battery dies”! Yes I actually came to you via your video about how smartphones are (potentially) stealing our lives. It’s a bit of a paradox eh. I’m extremely grateful to you for what you’ve done, it helps us all. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kfernandes268]

Love being in mature. Your videos are so simple and good. Wholesome. Good for the soul. I find myself watching these videos when I am stressed. Wish I could travel again.

[@VikingGruntpa]

Thank you for inviting us to join you

[@irenasquires3693]

This is before the lockdown how peaceful you look in your beautiful environment celebrating the seasons

[@robertpihl9347]

Enjoy the coming spring and skiing! I just got back from our annual winter camp at about 10k feet above sea level. Many dug caves in the snow to sleep in, my father and i set up my canvas wall tent and had a warm fire going in the stove all night. Temperatures well below freezing, and woke up this morning to about 7 inches of fresh snow. Always a blast, and some of my favorite camping! Always a pleasure watching your stuff here, Bjørn!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

That sounds just awesome. I'd rather have camped in that canvas tent of yours, though!

[@robertpihl9347]

Yeah I grew up digging and sleeping in snow caves, but my tent has certainly made things more pleasant... and dry.

[@scotthosier]

A nice hot lunch and sitting there on a cold day feeling the suns warmth I would have fallen asleep. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

[@shadowphoenix8962]

Nothing like sitting in the warm sun while the air is still crisp and cool.

[@roseluke7148]

Amen!!☺️

[@walking-the-world1]

I was late to this one haha! I agree I also look forward to Spring. This morning I was awake at 7am and the sound of all the birds singing was such a treat. The morning sun shining through the window too. But birdsong makes me feel very happy and all my issues seem to disappear. Bring on Spring!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

I agree!

[@martasztahura934]

Yes..only men who stay in the sunshine can feel it..the warms..of it!

[@briangreve6489]

Good video, lunch and 1st Norwegian story. Yes it is good to sit again a Timber wall with sun shining on you in the winter. Take care B Greve

[@saraalcantar1025]

That's right... some things, even though scientifically explained, still seem like miracles. Pretty much everything in nature can relate to this :) Thanks for the smooth talking, Bjørn. Watching you enjoying sunlight and sharing those words gave a really comforting feeling to me.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, Sara.

Me too!! Really enjoy Bjorn's videos. I stand with Bjorn!!!

[@SpiritForest]

I have been noticing the changing of the bird songs too. Steak looked yummy. Hope you had fun in the mountains skiing.

[@althiel01]

What a beautiful woodland! It is no wonder you went there just to spent a quiet and peaceful day. Even the area around the lavvu is great, the rock surface next to it is perfect. 👍

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Yes, it's very nice spending a few hours up there.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

It is always so nice to spend a bit of time relaxing on a Sunday with a friend. Having backups are worth their weight in gold. I often have many. Esp ways to make fire out there. Thanks for this relaxer my friend ! Take care eh.

Hello friend Bjorn. Thought i would leave behind something nice to read !. So I'm sending this !,, As a thank you for talking to us all about life and do many more things !. Sincerely Paul Hampton~.

[@philholman8520]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings!!✌️👍👍🙏

[@SteveWFitch]

An amazing feast and even better when cooked in the woods over a fire! A reminder to all about the benefits of the woods and a place of peace. Thanks, Bjorn!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, Steve.

[@richarddanforth1564]

Looks like a good lunch, I'm like you, there's nothing better than soaking up the sun, and even here we can tell spring is right around the corner but personally I hope it holds off

[@scottekelberry9595]

Hi Bjorn like your videos I am from the Upper Michigan it's amazing how much the woods here look like the woods there I now understand why so many European people settled in this area love seeing the woods in Norway beautiful forests near water awesome we have very much snow here at least 18 inches on the ground

[@jeffnotti9932]

Looks like you are at one of those places that bring you peace .. J

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

I am! It's a good place to just sit and relax.

[@blueshadow3291]

Thank to you Bjørn 👍🏻 💙👍🏻

[@kristheoldonemarczy3622]

I feel at peace listening to you. The story of the first Norwegian, is a fine example of oral storytelling. It must truly be a beautiful thing to have large woods to explore nearby. That is rather hard to find in the outskirts of Greater Montreal Quebec. The city is too heavy for me, on the moral aspect, it is just too much and I will not go into the details about it. My home is my place of peace and it will remain so. If I may say so, people such as you give me a glimmer of hope. Take care.

[@carlnewby3776]

I know yu probably won't see this comment, but I just wanted to say your videos are awesome and have really helped me through a bad break up. They have given me the confidence to pursue Viking Reenactment here in Yorkshire and also helped get myself out ferreting and camping with my brother. Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to me, an no doubt many others on here.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Dear Carl, I am very glad to hear that. I’m honoured to be an inspiration to you.

[@brucematys6064]

Wonderful video Bjorn, I am glad you were able to to sit and relax in the sun. I will check out the knife, it should make a nice little backup. Cheers!

Just reminded me, I'm hungry. Woke up this morning with a slight fever and a headache and have been feeling bad and mostly sleeping a whole wunderful sun filled day away. (I'm a little bitter loosing a weekend day like this !!! 😠😣😊) Well, Bjørn your video made me feel better and made my appetite come back. Thanks 😀

[@seeks4627]

Nothing like those early spring or late winter breaks when you get summer like weather earlier . Yes when you get older iv noticed the seasons alot more ,than when I was in my 20s ,maybe of has to do with the circle of life and our place in it. Cheers\Skal 🌲🇳🇴🇨🇦🌲

[@MrTatts64]

Great video, thanks Bjorn. Now had I of packed that meal to have outdoors, there would have to of been a small tub of ready made gravy to throw into the pan for the last minute or two of cooking, along with a couple of thick wedges of well buttered bread - yum!!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Hi Bjorn! Two things looked good in this video, the new knife and your lunch, well done! It's strange that even though we may love all seasons we are always anticipating the next one! Each season has it's own beauty and rewards! Take care my friend! Wade

[@tonypino2858]

Super mooi Huisje in het Bos

[@GaerHampton]

Generally speaking, I hate having the hot sun beating down on me in the summer. I guess that I have too much Norwegian and Germanic forest-dweller blood in me! But I always savor the treat when sitting in the warming sunlight brings a very welcome warmth to my cool body! I'm actually looking forward to the arrival of spring. That must mean that I was able to put this winter to good use and get out several times in the cold and snow.

[@groseillegrowa3659]

That is a great story ...

[@clintonwoosley3094]

Another great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@martialme84]

08:00 ...my moment of zen for the day. ^^

[@artjaazz1]

Bjorn, it'd be great to see more of how you travel to the cabin, I mean the path through the forest, views, nature. And more scenes of nature, close-ups, interesting trees, objects etc. And that mystic, quiet music on the background that you used previously. Just a wish! Thanks in advance)

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks! You can find a link to that music in all my video descriptions. It is a friend of mine who makes it. When it comes to the path, I'd rather not make it too public. I risk having lots more people up there then.

[@FishyPOL]

Hi Bjorn, another great video! Nice to see you soaking up that vitamin D. I'm only 19 but this year I've started to appreciate the beautiful purple flowers sprouting through the dead leaves, the birds singing and the sunlight glistening through the bare branches of our deciduous trees. Looks like a useful knife you've got there. For me, I'd rather have another bushcraft knife as my backup. I couldn't deal with a bare metal handle. On that subject, how does the skinny handle feel in your large heathen hands?

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, Matty. That's an very good description! Being up in the mountains at the moment, I look forward to come home and see the last of the snow gone. I want spring now. The knife handle on that knife is very small, so I can't grip it properly, but as mentioned, it lives on my backpack and will stay there as a backup.

[@williamjohnson6060]

Mmmmm !! Keto liscious !!! You make me hungry my friend !

[@raymondroberts7490]

Haha, I love that Norwegian origin story. It's like here, we all stole bread and got shipped to Australia, lol. Autumn is my favourite time of year, and I look forward to Winter too. But that is because Summer is unbearably hot, and the Winters are mild. Winter (and late Autumn / early Spring) is the only time its cool enough to wear anything more than a t-shirt or light pullover without overheating. The trees hold onto their leaves, and it might only snow perhaps one day a year here in Western Australia, in the very south of the state in the Stirling Ranges. People drive for hours to see a handful of flakes fall from the sky - sometimes I think Aussies and Norwegians are not so different, lol.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

You are probably right! As I have mentioned, I have relatives in Austrlia, and that is actually because of a great-great-great something uncle was sent there as a convict. I can imagine that winters are preferable in Australia!

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Nice cabin/ long house! A good base camp for you? Lunch looked quite tasty.. Was good, yes? A peaceful trip there n a good happy place for you... Thanks for sharing! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida😎! ( nice knife) a good one to keep on your packs as you travel! C U on the trail... Bye bye!

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, Bill. The only problem with that place is that other people come there and make a mess sometimes.

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen ah yes.. Humans... I'm told that they can be a pesky bunch at times! Lol! Enjoy when you can my wandering friend.. Be of good cheer n peace always! Til next time on the trail! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida!

[@themadleaf]

Greetings Bjorn. I noticed that knife on your backpack from a previous video. Thought you might introduce it soon. Been seeing it around more. I know how you feel about the change in seasons. Always enjoy when the daylight is longer and that first spring day when you feel heat from the sun. It adds an extra spring to your step as my grandfather would say. By May we will experience the midnight sun and it will last until late July. Looking forward to spring when the land is again renewed. So much to do, so much to enjoy. As always, I have enjoyed your video. Keep it up. 👍

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thank you, Craj!

[@I_am_Diogenes]

Cool little knife . Good thing the Buzzard was the knife , I thought it was in the frying pan and was going to ask where you got buzzard in Norway . lol

[@Leviathan7.62]

An old friend sent me to your channel, and sir I must say you are an inspiration to get out there. It’s been a long while since I’ve been in the deep woods, probably 6 years, and now thanks to you and your videos I must go soon (that’s a good thing). I’m convincing the wife and kids to come along one weekend for a few hours. If I may ask, who makes the jacket you are wearing in this video? It’s very nice, and I would like to get one for my dad for Christmas. Thank you for your time, your knowledge in every video, and all you do. Keep up your great work. Take care sir! -Preston

[@hellequingentlemanbastard9497]

Funny you should say that, but living in Africa..... the older I get the more I crave a colder climate. I have absolutely NO Energy during Summers heat, but I feel great during early Spring, Autumn and Winter.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Maybe we all prefer a milder, but not too warm, climate?

[@hellequingentlemanbastard9497]

@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen - Definitely!

Hellequin, Gentleman Bastard Yea because you most likely don’t belong in Africa. Your Neanderthal ancestors came from the Caucuses Mountains and had adapted to and evolved for colder climates. Ie: Sunburn

Hawaii had quite a lot of Snow just a few days ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're in for a Surprise in that regard.

[@simonkenton5927]

Sweet nice meal. You sure have some nice kit I saw your other boot video I was wondering how those boots hold up off Trail when you might be walking through some Hardwoods and snags in Vines when there is no path thanks again for your videos Simon

[@mrsorepaws9146]

Looks like a great backup tool. But you forgetting your knife, Bjørn? Impossible! That lunch though - looks very much like what I would make. Bet it tasted much better out in the wilds, than it would at your missed dinner.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

It did, probably! And I have actually forgotten my knife once.

[@CanadianSledDog]

I noticed the birds in Canada have changed their tune as well, in anticipation of spring.

[@whengrapespop5728]

Bjørn, jeg antar at du er norsk? Med det lurer jeg på hvor navnet «Bull» kommer fra? Ble nysgjerrig, har ikke hørt om en nordmann med det navnet før. Koselig video du hat delt.😊

[@martialme84]

I don´t know about that being just a "getting older" kind of thing... I mean i´m 34 so count that as you wish, but i have always been a "child of the changing seasons" in a way. I really, really can not imagine being happy for long in a place where the seasons don´t really change. I used to be a bit jealous of people who can grow certain crops all year round that i can only get one harvest from in one year, but really... I am the same as you are, in that towards the end of one season, i begin really looking forward to the following one. Hope climate change won´t eliminate winters here, where i am.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks, my friend. Yes, you're right. I remember feeling like this 10 years ago as well. And before that.

[@paulworgan6599]

Hi Bjorn just referencing one of your previous videos when you were climbing trees in search of Chaga you mentioned your age in a humourous way just thinking what was the Viking philosophy towards aging ?

[@pwthomas8596]

Please explain the advantages of a Bearded Axe and the 26 inch handle. Is it easier to chop with it on trees? Here we used double bitted axe.

[@rotntv]

Are there no spiders in Norway??? I want to practice woodland skills and go camping and such more often, but I'm terrified of spiders, and every time I go to out in to Wilderness, it's like they are waiting for me and they always crawl on me or get in my stuff. This never seems to be an issue for people like Bjorn. He opened that cabin that is clearly not in any way sealed or insulated, and happily sat down with his gear and set up the camera. I am wondering if any spiders or bugs or other critters have to be cleared out first etc

I would of never believed that you would have fire danger there. Very hot in summer in USA and windy so we have bans on fires in summer. Do you get lightening storms which ignite forest fires or danger of catching villages on fire in the mountains? I would have thought that small self contained stoves would be safe, the types which have small stove pipe and a screen at the top to stop sparks. Not much fun camping with not out door cooking. Only thing left to do is buy a small camper trailer now. (Paul from Oregon, USA).

Thanks Martin I must do that too. When I saw this video I was lying in the woods under my tarpaulin. So I had built like a triangle. So I could have a bonfire "inside" 😊 I should have checked how the weather was before I made that choice, just keep it raining. It thunder and windy. So I couldn't hear everything that was said. But it was super cozy. Nu Right now the sun is shining and I am returning home. But I just have to watch video again. where do you live Martin? And have you had a good trip in the forest recently? And many thanks to you Bjorn for taking your time for our sake. And I will clearly look at the description of this knife. It really also seems to fit perfectly to cut out one's food. 😊🤠🌱 I wish everyone here on Bjorn's canal and community a really nice Sunday and watch out for yourself in nature. 🍀

There is no doubt i was born in the wrong era! I'm in my thirties & over the past 2/3 years have been drawn very much away from the modern way of living & towards this type of living.
