    Takes some serious nerve to cross that land on your own mate, foreign country, and some dodgy crossings. Full respect to you, living the dream 😊 more of scandinavia please Liam 🙏

    Your storytelling in your videos is unparalleled. You capture the atmosphere perfectly. I love watching your videos before bed as they’re so chill and relaxing.

    Norwegian here. You’re clothes and shoes got me worried from the first second. Even though it was summer, you can get below freezing temperature and snow, storms and heavy rain. When hiking in the norwegian mountains for days, you need solid mountain shoes with support and water resistance, and layers of clothing with water proof jacket. When hiking alone you should have a GPS connection. If you break you’re leg or get ill in some way, there is noone there to help you. Just some crusial tips. Other than that enjoy the norwegian wilderness and mountains. Welcome back.

    Loved this video Liam! Question. Any chance you could do a video giving us a step by step guide on how you plan these hikes? I'd love to do something abroad but haven't got a clue how you would even plan it all.

    Similarly, the most notable thing I remember about visiting Iceland was how fresh and clean the air was. It’s actually quite difficult to explain to someone who’s never experienced it.

    Hello Liam, I really enjoyed following you on your adventure. It sparked so many memories for me. In 1979 when I was 30 years old I did the trek that you have just filmed. The river crossings were a bit sketchy then as well. As you say it's the most stunning place and to follow you has been such a nostalgia trip. Thank you.

    How lovely! Such contrast between the crisp clean air n water; huge hard rock scariness with campanula, bilberry and heather daring to take on the challenge...and of course you braving it out in the cold and wet. Good stuff! Thank you

  • @Truthbewithyou
    @Truthbewithyou Před 8 měsíci +2

    As a fellow solo hiker and wildcamper, I can totally imagine the humbling of those mountains and the noise of those rivers 🙏🏼 it takes a lot of guts to hike across such openness without any reception or people around. Full respect to you mate, awesome video and thanks for sharing 💙

    Unbelievable content mate. I’ve visited Norway twice, once in the north (Tromso) and once to Oslo - fabulous country. Random but have you ever thought of going to the Faroe Islands? Not far from Scotland and there are some unreal hikes there, James Bond was filmed there - it’s like nowhere else 👍🏻 🇫🇴

    Fabulous new vid Liam, it’s always great to see where your exploring next. I would love to hear how you go about deciding and planning such a trip, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you said that you just stuck a pin in a map and went with it. Thank you for taking us all along 👍👊😉

    Hi Liam, thanks for such another outstanding video. I have recommended your channel to quite a few of my friends and I know they also enjoying your content. Please keep putting new videos out as they are a must see for me as soon as I notice a notification. You were rather brave to do that trek in such an isolated place without some sort of GPS rescue device. You might have had one on you but it may be worth getting one as a slip on one of the boulders could have broken your ankle etc. It was so isolated there I'm guessing that you only encountered other people at mountain huts.

  • @outdoorsman1140
    @outdoorsman1140 Před 8 měsíci

    Beautiful scenery. It’s quite possible that the reindeer are farmed like the sheep. You can buy reindeer meat in Scandinavia. Although nervous of getting too close, unless they were regularly taken to a children’s petting centre where they are regularly touched (like some in the Cairngorms in the UK). It is quite possible that the farmer periodically puts supplementary food out for them, eg. mineral blocks, and might periodically round them up for health checks, so at least if not tame, used to having people near them, hence walking away rather than running away. I’ve had Cairngorms ones sat on the path as I walk by, as they are tame due to being rounded up and taken to the Reindeer Centre, petted by children and take their turn at being Rudolf and pulling the Santa’s sleigh at Christmas at events.

    Cool to see you go to Norway! I lived in norway until last July and your videos were a major inspiration to go backpacking the two last summers. I'd recommend also going to the high north. There's tons of cool places surrounding the Lofoten area and great trails! (Although Lofoten itself is quite busy.)

    Great video Liam. Have you considered walking the Nordkalottleden trail. A good stretch would be from Kilpisjarvi Finland to Abisko Sweden, 190km. There are non serviced wonderful Norwegian huts every night, 30 euros for a bed or 3 euros for day use if a member. Great wild scenery, few walker's, relatively easy walking. From Abisko where theres a supermarket and large Swedish tourist station you could continue to Kvikkjok on the Kungsleden, gorgeous scenery, huts every night if you wanted, some selling food supplies. You could also continue on another 300 km till the end of the Kungsleden or from Abisko continue on the Nordkalottleden which gets wilder, has some formidable river crossings, huts every night, following Swedish Norwegian border. I hiked it from August 24 till September 16, gorgeous fall colors, tree's, tundra, canyons. You'd like it. There's so many options including into wild Sarek National Park, the best scenery up north but no huts, few bridges, no marked trails.
