Sweden Part 4. Stormy Wild Weather and our Final Wild Camp.

- čas přidán 30. 05. 2019
- In this video series, Andy (Kent Survival) and I head off to the Swedish Wilderness for a five day canoeing and bushcraft adventure inspired by Dave Bliss’ book ‘Paddles and Polar Bread’. Paddling along the massive lake Stora Le, we experience all the weather Sweden can throw at us, from glorious sunshine, to snow and strong winds whipping the lake up into a raging turmoil of waves and spray. We take all our equipment and food with us in our aluminium Linder canoes and camp in Dano huts or wild camp along the way.
This video is episode four, the final instalment - after setting off for our final camp spot across the lake, we hit the first of our weather for the day - hail! We arrive cold and wet at the designated spot, only to find it lacking for our our needs. A decision is made to get back on the water and head for a wild camp spot. Strong winds and choppy waves are then the order of the day and we get to our final camp exhausted.We spend our last evening on the lake, enjoying some much needed food until a snow storm forces us to retreat to our shelters. Our canoe adventure has been epic - an amazing experience full of varied weather and great times! We will be back, that I'm sure of!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🤝🤝🙏🙏🥰🇦🇹
The Tandem of Simon, a Bloke in the woods and ,Kent survival. is 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏🙏🇦🇹
Excellent mate.. end of a chapter :) gonna have to speak soon about the next adventure! :)
Oooh the suspense where will it be next . Scotland has some nice locks
Right in brother! 😁🛶
There are still some small secret hidden colonies of vikings living up on the islands up in those large scottish lochs!! Its most disconcerting to be enjoying the paddle up a nice long scottish loch until you spot longboat sails unfurling behinds you and dragonhead prows closing in on your position from all sides?
Its no good trying to explain your reasons for being on their loch when you got a viking sword up yer left nostril? And rest of the scottish vikings are ransacking through both of yer canoes & taking away all of your eqpt?
Being filmed stranded in a pair of y fronts on a scottish island may make good survival tv but it isnt a joke? For those who have been left on the island as longboats sail off with all of yer equipment & you 2 have got nosebleeds from having a viking sword tip rammed up yer noses?
Cuz you both failed due to giggling to understands the ancient norwegian dialects
The 1st time!?
Arounds
Simon knows a few good places in snowdonia!😎
@@davidhuxtable8918 not a loch as such but had something similar happened to me in a pub in East London once!😃

Absolutely fantastic set of videos, congratulations to the two of you, thoroughly enjoyed them.
Enjoyed this series on both channels...many thanks for sharing. I'll have to work on getting a week away from the family and follow in your footsteps. 👍
Brilliant really enjoyed that well done boys
Another wow video. Thank you for sharing
Wonderful Simon, wish i was there ^^ beautiful
Simon, I carry in my first aid pack Tampons kotex and super glue uses for deep wounds and burns.
For 38 years I worked as maintenance then a so a stocker and sales associate in a store.
When I was able to I be headed for the peace and Serinity of the woods and water.
Stay safe in the woods
James Carryl - I used to be a first aider in a meat works. If you get a knife cut in awkward spots like the skin on the edge of a nail bed then super glue is priceless for when you have to get on with life, rather than sit around feeling sorry about your boo-boo. 3M steri-strips ( paper stitches) are really good for knife slices & cuts once you stem the bleed (compression & elevation mainly) & clean the site up. Where superglue beats Steri-strips is that you have to keep steri-strips & the skin below them dry, otherwise they'll peel off- superglue stays good until you immerse the area in water for a long time.
Hi ! Mike here again. You picked the worst of all the lakes to paddel in and a little wrong season. In the fall you should be there with all the colours of the trees and the water is warm and you know you can paddle for weeks in the system and see the real beauty of the area. Hope to see you again in the area But after taking the advise and give a true picture of the beauty that it Hilda. Respectfully Mike 🇸🇪
Brilliant!
Sweeeeeet! Just finished watching Jim Baird in Algonquin Park then your alert popped up!
Beautiful my brother, keep on with the great adventures. Cheers from Maine, USA
Fantastic!
Thank you for sharing your journey in Sweden . 🙂
That was excellent.
Mike from Oklahoma
When it's over I always wish I had had more time. But always glad for what I had . Hey what ? Great filming guys ! Thank you for sharing !
Great series of videos mate.
Reminds me of a trip I done o the Yukon 10 yrs ago.
A video about getting there would be good.
Really liked the dunk kit, small but important items.
you guys work well together.. Thanks for including us in the adventure... Cheers
Fantastic Simon, loved every part of every vid.. thanks for the kit bag chat at the start of your last paddle ..(always wondered what that powder was in the medic hands in some war films... Now i know..!!!) anyhow i think this has a most enjoyable few days for all on your journey Thanks again .. and the music ...well you know my thoughts on that... Perfect......
Lovely landscape.
great trip, thanks for taking us along. maybe a follow up to go over how your gear worked out, would you make any changes and the pros and cons of hammock vs tarp on the ground. All the best looking forward to the next adventure
fantastic series mate!! glad to see you got to get a bit of cheese home lol 👍
Nice little series of videos Simon, you certainly think of everything when you go away don't you! Great adventure, where next? Look forward to your next videos and Andys.
Yet another great video. Always look forward to getting the notifications of new vids. 👍👍👍
Great video Simon 🙂
Pure class video Simon!
Memories for life and a buddy forever! Bloody brilliant! Thanks for sharing mate. Take care, Steve. 👍👍
Thanks mate!👍😁
Really enjoyed that... did that trip back in 2005 and loved it... these vids brought back many memories and a nudge to go back next year.
Great post Lads, all the best.
That was a great series. That weather was very diverse. It was like springtime here in Texas. Or autumn. Or winter... Sometimes summer.. lol. I'm glad that Andy was able to bounce back after that second day.
How fortunate you both are to have each other as friends. What a great adventure... Thanks...
Congratulations to Andy on testing his own Swedish bacon range it looked delicious..Nice trip guys
NIce vid's Simon, good challenging weather, the landscape there is quite bleak in places. The wildlife was probably staying in due to the constant hail ;), Glad you Andy had a enjoyable adventure :) ATB
Great series of videos Simon. I had the pleasure to spend some time in Sweden a few years ago and was able to drink water straight from the lake without filtering. A wonderful country.
Sandy
Great series..loved it all.(except for poor Andys' illness) . Variety is good and it looks like you had a wonderful time, Thanks for taking us along
Ok, Sweden is officially on my bucket list. Looking forward to more videos.
Nice one Simon great videos 4 seasons in 1 day pretty much. Awsome 👍👍😎🏕🚣♂️
Excellent watch from 1-4 ,thank you Simon,good to see Swedish Andy fought back and conquered,that's where i'm off to next,happy trails.
Really really enjoyed your efforts on putting this series together. I've really enjoyed watching and listening to your trip and have made a few notes for our next trip. Sweden, Scotland, who knows, but given current situation we'll probably keep it just local and hit the Dee. We've just come back from 8 days on Loch and River Tay. Next year back to Sweden we hope. I've really enjoyed all your vids that I can manage to squeeze into the day. Cheers bud.
