    watching you two metropolitans flounder up the mountainside in jeans and Ikea bags had me dying laughing, and seeing the emotions you guys experienced on top almost made me tear up. It made me miss home tremendously! There's nothing more invigorating than being touch by the midnight sun like you two were. It's transcendental! We're not always this lucky with the weater this far north you know, this summer was one for the ages.
    Next visit should be for the northern lights!

    As a Norwegian myself, it's easy to become blind to the beauty that surrounds us in our everyday life.
    Videos like this - where we get to rediscover the Norwegian beaty through the eyes of a foreigner is such a delight.
    But yes - you came really unprepared to that camping! (I hope you left all the sites the way you found it).
    Seeing you haul that IKEA-bag up the hillside AND you marvel at the midnight sun, made me think of the song "Welcome to the mountains" by the Norwegian group Big Bang:
    "You're just a poor, little city boy
    You don't know what you're missing
    And I say
    "Welcome to the mountains".
    Thank you for a lovely video.

    Hey Nate, Amazing work yet again. I hope you are doing well. I have been watching your stuff for around 6 years now, damn, time flies! I like your portrayal of different experiences, countries and concepts while keeping somewhat of a tone of serenity. Your character arc is already amazing as it is. But I'd like to invite you to consider looking into other parts of the world, to understand the philosophy to add to your own and share with others. I would love for you to make a trip to Bangladesh for two weeks or so, try to capture the essence of life like you do and share it with your community. A lot of CZcamsrs that do go to these countries end up showing a very fast paced super energetic ultra-active portrayal of the cities in these parts of the world. While that is definitely a part of it, the everyday life in these parts also have a fair share of serenity and altruism. I would love for you to experience it and make a video on it. Trust me, the food is to die for!

    There’s a reason why my husband and I chose Norway for our honeymoon: it’s just non-stop gorgeous. Eye candy was around every corner; fjords, waterfalls, the endless night sky, mountains, beautiful towns and villages, with cultural delights. Even when its raining and dreary, we could find quiet little luxuries in every place we went. It’s not the cheapest country on the map; I love it just the same.

    Hi Nathaniel 👋,
    It’s so cool that you and Lucas were able to experience watching the midnight sun, something that I think many of us (myself included) would’ve never imagined for ourselves in real life. I guess you can say that life and nature have their ways of reminding us to be grateful to be alive and live our lives to the fullest while we still can.
    Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗

    The mosquito plague in the Scandinavian countries is why Fjällraven developed a special G-1000 material for clothing. Mosquitos, bees or any other insects cannot penetrate this. However, not all G-1000 materials have this property, and the ones that do are probably too warm for summer. Your video was fun to watch; thank you!
