  • When I found out that there's a remote cabin near to where I'd been staying in the Arctic Circle, I couldn't resist a hike there. Several hours through the frozen wild lands of northern Sweden, I finally got there, and what I found really surprised me.
    P.S. You can stay in this cabin too! If you'd like to stay in this cabin or at the more accessible cabins of Vuoggatjalme, get in touch with Frans on vuoggatjalme.se/

      Yup... imagine being so wet and cold that your hands barely work. You make it to that shelter and find you only need to strike a match. There's kindling and some logs just waiting to be lit. Maybe even a few spare logs off the the side ready to feed in. That's a definite life saver.

    Lappland is the most magical place I've ever been to. Im from Sweden and when I quit my adhd meds cold turkey, I went up there in the winter to live in a tent for a while to get my head straight. And damn, ever since, I've been going up there every winter and are now living there in my Van. A big city boy turned mountain man just like that, by a simple touch of raw nature presence. The winds up here are whistleing calm things and the mountains are telling you stories that go waay back since they formed while encouraging you to keep pushing. The rawness of the landscape are healing you in the most profound way. But also the animals, that was the first thing I noticed that the ravens were following us and was just hanging out with us. Moose and reindeers look at you with this welcoming face and hearing the wolves houl under the nordic lights man it gives you these goosebumps that takes you in to the deepest presence of this wonderful & spiritual planet. I've been around the world and its magical as a whole but NOTHING hits like Lappland does...

      At least it's a little easier now with today's drones. Used to be, someone would have to walk ahead, place a camera, walk back and film the approach. Now they can just send the drone ahead and film the approach. It saves a lot of walking back and forth.

      Radiant heat is tricky so it depends on each scenario. To be safe I would say at least 6 feet or put in another room. You can determine yourself by placing it away and if you stand there and can feel the heat then maybe further out. Just depends on how hot the stove can get.@@deajansen5210

I see her behavior as sucking energy out of others. I mean.....why the hell this awful walk to a lost cabin in the icy frost and snow in the middle of nowhere .....to sleep there for 1 night almost burning down the whole thing and struggling back again? I know she wants to train for a longer trip. But i simply don;t get this masochistic behavior. Trips like that are nice for a vacation of 1 or 2 weeks....but not as a fulltime way of living for years and years. Making her dinner in lost landscapes without any human company. Well she looks like she loves it. But i wonder.....It is too much smiles.

    I was raised in a big cabin with a wood stove. During the summer for some reason we would sometimes put the telephone (old style plastic rotary phone) on the stove, since we weren't using it. One year when winter rolled around I made the first fire of the year by myself. I think my mom was upstairs. At some point she yelled down, "What's burning?" Yep, it was the phone, which I somehow hadn't noticed, and it was literally melting. My dad wasn't too happy about that one, can't blame him.

The drone shots, all the camera setups in the cabin, I don't think most folks realize how much thought and work that takes, which is completely invisible when it's done well unless you're actively looking for it. You're a master of your craft, and I'm so glad you do what you do. I'm here for it.

    Btw it seems counterintuitive but don't just melt snow on its own. Because of all the air trapped in it, it insulates super well which means you use more gas to melt it. Put the snow in water and continually add it to your water to melt more and faster/more efficiently!

    Wow, I’m so proud of the effort you gave to make this trip! Thankful nothing more serious came from your “hot bed” experience. That will serve to make you more aware on the rest of this journey.
    Now the truth… I’m so jealous and wish I could have experienced the hike and especially the cabin. I think I would just like to stay right there and see what the seasons bring.
    Thank you for taking all of us along with you; can’t wait to see the next leg of this journey.

    When it comes to moving heavy loads up elevations - one thing that helps is having some rope. I prefer Parachute Cord - because the Nylon is light and strong.
    What you don't want to do - depending on the situation - is move yourself and the load up the elevation at the same time.
    This wasn't that much of an elevation. So this is more for future reference. I only mention this because of your doubt that you could do it.
    What you do - is get yourself up the elevation - with a line attached to your heavy load - then you pull the heavy load up after you. That way - you're only fighting against the weight of yourself one time and the load the next.
    Anything like this - is something you want to practice a short distance from home - so you aren't in the middle of nowhere trying to do something you haven't done before.

    Eva! Your endurance is impressive. Seriously remember, when you say if you’ll be strong enough for the race, it’s perspective. It looks beautiful there. Did you bring those lights in the room? I love the ambiance. I agree that a cabin trip like that is so much better with people. It’s good to be alone away from social media. But social media gives us a false sense of comfort or connectedness. Then in the wilderness you realize how alone you are. I also think it’s fulfilling to finish such a long and tiring day of walking, then eating with others. I’d be so scared if my dog was barking in the night! We all have stress in life but I feel like that is one of the only times your fight or flight response kicks in. You get so much natural relaxation for the amount of time you spend outdoors. Your skin and hair are beautiful! maybe it’s because you spend so much time in nature.

    I lost a home to fire. There is nothing quite like sitting down and watching your house burn to the ground and mourning every single loss right then and there so that I could walk away from it looking forward, not back. I have rarely thought about anything I lost that day. My dogs were all outside, I lost 5 kittens. The mother got out. I knew that if I held on to everything I lost that day I would never be ok. Because it really was EVERYTHING. There are few things in this life quite like that experience. I always check whats around before I build a fire anywhere. I have a very healthy fear of fire.

    I love the fact there it's something called a "Swedish mile". We have the word "mil" in Swedish which is 10km, but most of us Swedes don't realize that it's not translated to "mile". Hence, two "Swedish miles" are in fact 20km.

      You don't think about it too much but many units gets a bit lost in translation. Yes, an acre is sort of best translated to a hectare (in Swedish, hektar). But it uses different units so the acre is about half of the hectare.

    I am happy that you get to experience this, Eva. For many people living up here in Northern Sweden this is the best time of year. Very sunny and and not so cold. Usually people use skis for this type of excursions, but walking is certainly more training (snowshoes would just be more difficult than walking)! And the dog would perhaps help you too much on skis. Vilks would probably manage without socks (frostbite is unlikely for a dog with that thick fur coat).

    • @al2eken

    • @larion3296
      @larion3296 Před 3 měsíci

      @@Steevee14 Dogs release heat through their paws so when exercising it is little risk for frostbite. In particular at these temperatures, only a few degrees below freezing. And German Shepherds probably have relatively thick fur coat on top of their paws. Socks will mostly be useful to protect against sharp/icy snow over longer periods that could hurt the foot pads. Up here in Northern Sweden German Short haired pointers are used for ski races, where one dog is pulling one human that do crosscountry skiing. GSPs have much thinner fur coat and the strain on their feet while pulling will be much much higher than for a german shepherd that only run slowly on the snow.
