Remember that Sweden is roughly 2100km from north to south so we have many climate zones. The winter darkness is rough in Stockholm but where she lives it’s extreme. In the summer when the sun doesn’t set you can go skiing in the midnight sun. If you flip Sweden upside down you end up in south of Italy. Then you can imagine the scale.
Hello Chris. I live about 15 minutes from where this video was filmed (she has moved now, further inland, to Sollefteå). We are very proud of the films she has posted about our area 🙂
About the big fire. Every year during the last day of April we all have a day called Valborgsmässoafton( you may know it as Walpurgis? its actually a German thing originally) where we make biiiig bonfires called "Majbrasa" (May bonfire) where we burn sticks, leaves and other things we have cleaned up from our gardens after the snow has melted. Every village usually makes their own and they can be huuge! Then we light it and we all just stand around the big bonfire and we have speeches and songs to welcome spring...and sometimes parties! here is a video about the subject: czcams.com/video/HbkyfZjjonM/video.html
Its Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis night). :) Thank you for the recommendation. Does litterally every village and city do it?. But Walpurgisnacht has something to do with witches in Germany I think.
Hi! I live in Göteborg in the south of Sweden, and down here the light conditions and weather is much more like in Germany than in the North of Sweden.
I wold not say everyone in sweden is that close to nature but many pepole in sweden love the nature and are close to nature. Many pepole in sweden love to be outside in nature aspesally in summer but even winter and spring but in atum it just rain all the time.💚💚
Thats so interesting, I said that in the last video, I never think about Sweden in rainy weather in the winter, I think they have always snow in this season😅
"I knew Sweden was north, but not THAT north." Well, what part of Swede are you thinking of? If you live in the southeast parts, like Ystad, you're equally far from the northeast parts of Sweden (Abisko) as you are to Rom in Italy. That's insane.
Probably I am closer, because I live in the south of Germany 😂 (or did you mean the second "you" as "somebody") (that would be cool, because we have this use of "Du" in German as well ,but there is no perfect equivalent in English)
Exactly the same at those parts of Finland, that are located above the Arctic Circle. Yes, the contrast between winter and summer light conditions are quite dramatic in the southern parts of the country, as well, but the contrast is still not that strong.
@@ChrisSweden it won't get genuinely dark at all, in fact. There is a short period of twilight, however from around 23pm to approximately 00.30-1.00 am. After this brief period the sun starts to already rise again.
Sweden has a few fjords but in no way anything like Norway. We have lots of rivers, and lakes, however. About 55-60% forest (mostly upper half of Sweden).
Där finns så mycket vackert att se i våra länder. Så jag kommer inte okay på vanliga semester reser hädanefter. Finns så mycket fint jag vill se i Sverige Norje Danmark Finland. Sen Island hade varit en dröm att uppleva
I live about 400 kilometers north of where Jonna lives and those that dont live in a town usually drives to a town once a week or so to get supplies or have it delivered to where they live if they cant go themselves. Its not really a problem but for sure people is dependent on those deliveries of course. During the coldest winter i dont really go outside much if i dont need to as when it is below -30C its not very nice outside. But now when you get to actually see the sun again and the days are getting longer its an amazing time of the year. During the summer i just use some thicker curtains for easier sleep other than that its amazing with the light during the nights. I wouldnt say most people is as in touch with the nature as Jonna is, she is one of a kind but picking berries in the fall to make jam or to drink is pretty common id say. Especially blueberries, lingonberries and cloudberries.
By the way why does everybody know where Jonna lives, doesn’t she have any privacy I mean she is a famous CZcamsr and if everybody know where she lives that can’t be good 😅
@@ChrisSweden I dont really know exactly where she lives i just know in what area as she is open with that. Therefore i know approximately how far from where i live it is. She has even mentioned in several videos what the little village she lives in is called. Afaik she hasnt been stalked or anything like that and hopefully it continues this way but surely as a big youtuber its better if people dont know exactly where you lives i would think.
Personally I don't have a problem with the darkness, at least not when it comes to energy, but many people do. I live a bit further north than she does and last november I saw the sun only once! Sure it's a bit boring with all the dark clouds but I find a bit of charm to it. If you ever visit Sweden you should definitly come to the north, above the arctic circle the midnight sun truly is beautiful.
Sweden is quite a big country. I live just north of Gothenburg, but my strategy is just going outside at the same time, no matter the darkness. It helps having a rutine that that you follow Even here in the south it gets dark at 2-3 pm, during the darkest time, so you need to have something to combat the lack of sunlight.
Unfortunately, most people are definetly not in touch with nature, Most people live in cities and have no idea what berries, mushrooms etc you can eat without dying lol. =P
Sweden is so long and stretched out county, so it's quite different from the very north to the very south, both when it comes to light conditions, weather and how the country looks, and how populated it is. Treriksröset, where Sweden borders both Norway and Finland, the most Northern point is at 69°, while the most Southern point of Sweden is at 55°. The distance between them are 1 567 km. It's like if you were to put the Northern tip of Sweden in Berlin, then the Southern tip would be in the Southern part of Sardinia in the Mediterrenian, and the place where Jonna Jinton lives would be in Innsbruck in Austria. So she lives in the North, but not in the far north.
@weden Well... that's more "Google school", to be honest (I think I did learn that Sweden is about 1500 km from North to South in school though)... And also playing around with the website "the true size of", check it out, if you haven't already. It gives you the opportunity to take any country on the map and place it somewhere else in the world. It's really fun (if you're a bit nerdy, like me) and educational, you realize that countries in the North, like Sweden, are actually smaller in reality than we percieve them to be on a normal map, and countries like Brazil is humongous. Madagascar is bigger than Sweden, even if it doesn't look like that on a regular map.
When it comes to the fire....Its not the size, its how you use it. ;) Big fires are safe in the right conditions, but most often not that usefull. It is however often used for selebrations
I live on her latitude. During winter time I can sometimes get depressed. But then! Suddenly I see a bit of sunlight and hope is lit. I MMS (every year) all my children down in Stockholm. Says "check... the sun" Then it just gets brighter to finally be bright (sun up) 24/7. I like the hard contrast. Makes me feel alive. Did/do you know? That the Northern Lights have sound. YES! Sometimes you can hear the Northern Lights making sounds like rustling paper, or static electricity. Standing under a sky completely covered by the Northern Lights can make one believe in God. It is so overwhelmingly beautiful. OK. She, or/and I, don't have too far to the store. A single one in a small municipality. But it takes a long time to get there. I myself have a snowmobile but try (if it's not too cold). We just had minus 39 Celsius skiing just for fun. OK, I'm lying. Mostly use the snowmobile. NOW It's getting brighter every day! Now I won't be negative, but. There is no real scientific data that says that ice cold baths benefit health. On the other hand, nothing that contradicts. IF one experiences health benefits = OK. Personally, I like ice cold baths when there's a sauna I can sprint to. AND, honestly. I feel stronger after an ice bath. Of all the berries we have. HJORTRON, Gold of the forest..
85% of the population lives in the bottom third of Sweden. And only 3% of the country is built up land, with 7% agriculture and 69% forest. So yes, we have space. If we had the same ppl/km2 as Denmark, we would have a population close to 80 million people (10,67 million atm). At the moment top half of Sweden have a snow depth of between 40 - 142 cm, keep in mind spring is on its way.
Some disclaimers: Where she lives, there is no polar night or polar day. Most people also aren't as close to nature as she is. In pretty much every city you will find similar ways of living as to pretty much anywhere else in Sweden and Northern Europe. Even in the far north fresh fruits and vegetables can be found in any grocery store.
And Jonna Jinton is also a fantastic ambassador for Sweden. I think she ought to get some kind of a prize!
Yeah I have to say, she makes beautiful videos and seems to be a very kind soul 😊
In 2022 she actually got a prize that was handed out by the Swedish king.
ambassador for Sweden. are u fucking joking
@@mattiasfaldt1725 it's not a joke
@@Helene.Jansson well for me this thats is a bloody joke

pretty close to where I grew up tnen

@@ChrisSweden Yeah it's a big tradition in Sweden and is done aaall over
It is so beautiful! 😍 I have to see it someday. We are so close to the neighbors.
Yes It is 😍
as a neighbour to jonna next town over i must say that if u havent u just need to come over here and enjoy both summer and winter:) u wont regret it
Hi! I live in Göteborg in the south of Sweden, and down here the light conditions and weather is much more like in Germany than in the North of Sweden.
Thats true, I always forget that Germany stretches quite far into the north. Because I am in Bavaria, so on the Southern Tip of Germany :)

Was just about to write what you wrote. But to clarify, Swedens fjords are on the west coast close to Norway.
Wow, this is a lot of forest.

13:41 They are gooseberries, in Swedish they're called "krusbär" and "stachelbeere" in German.
We have fjords in sweden but not as many as norway.
"this darkness makes one" to see things ( understand ) things better even when times are bright
It sounds beautiful :)

I believe that she lived smack in the center of Sweden when making this. Imagine how it is 1000 km north of that
I live in the middle of Sweden and this is my reality .

You are who you are, all have something in bagage, keep on have fun and enjoi life, Love J
There are many who are in touch with nature in Sweden, but the majority is not.
So, just like in Germany, but its on a rise here with the show 7vs wild I mentioned, many young Germans go way more outdoors 😊
Sweden has fjords. Great video by the way.
Thank you :)
We live about 8 hours north of where Jonna Jinton lives not quite in the arctic circle our shortest day this year was 2 hours of twilight
😳 8 hours by car?😅
@@ChrisSweden yes 8 hours drive
