We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
Did you catch our previous adventure? We visited Swedenâs Car Cemetery! đź czcams.com/video/_foDGWK_Y9g/video.html
The Endless Adventure sweden is such an amazing place taken care of by some of the most environmentally conscious people on this planet. We travel there 3 times a year just to get in touch with nature. I live on the little island of Gozo so we do miss the massive forests. You just made me book our flights back up. Thanks for all the great nostalgia of Sweden
Awesome! We had such a great time in Sweden. Next time we really want to go further north - hopefully to Kiruna one day! :) Enjoy your next trip there đ
Yes. Enjoyed it.
Yes that was neat to see
Thank you so much for visiting #Kolarbyn Eco Lodge, itÂŽs a lovely film and so nice to watch all over again and again. I hope to see more guests from the United States in the green forest in central Sweden. Welcome back! #jonasvildmark #wildsweden
This is by far one of the most unique experiences that you've shown. It makes me want to go and experience myself. What an awesome vlog!
So glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely an unforgettable experience đ
@@Theendlessadventure so nice you replied to my comment. I've been following you guys for quite sometime now and you're definitely upping your game in terms of unique adventures. I'm a big fan!
Jennifer Morais welcome to sweden and experience it :)
I like it how you always try to find those quirky and different things in every country. đ Makes you a lot more different then other vloggers. Keep it up! â€ïž
So glad you're enjoy the quirky stays! It's been our favorite part of traveling lately đ
Fully agree!! Plus they are so funny and authentic themselves ;-)
In Winters in sweden, we sometimes roll in the snow and then run to the sauna
or in other places the cut open the ice and take a quick dip in the water.
And the craziest part is yâall do it without screaming...! đłđ±đ„¶
That's awesome! I absolutely love snow but global warming has robbed my area of its normal weatherđą
Those huts are a type that was used by those who looked after the charcoal stacks a long time ago. Charcoal was made in the forest and then delivered to all the ron works and mines that can be found in that local area.
I was thinking that - I saw a fee reconstructed huts in a Norwegian forest and I would never have expected them to be cosy!
Oh, nice. Thanks for the information.
10:23 In Swedish generally, all the syllables are pronounced, we donÂŽt do silent -e at the end of words for instance, so itÂŽs pronounced like "kol-bul-leh", rather than "kolbull"
and the "o" is pronounced like a swedish "Ă„" like in our name haha :D
@@osaniss How can I migrate to Sweden?
This might quite possibly be your best video EVER !! I love this series ! Love it yaâll !! Safe Travels !
Y'all.... This was one of my favorite videos you've made! (And I've seen them all...) Just so well thought out and shot with more unique transitions. You told a great story and had a balance of food and activities. *Starts a slow clap*
Going into the cold water slowly makes it worse. It's way easier to just go in quickly like pulling off a bandaid
whenever I do that I can't catch my breath. I hyperventilate for a good 15 seconds lol
That's true, but you need to be careful. Like the previous reply said, it can take your breath away. Many people drown because of that sudden shock, and the fact that your body starts hyperventilating.
You can also get your extremities (feet, then legs and arms) used to the temperature before going in all the way - less of a shock that way. But I have to be honest, I usually don't get in all the way straight out of the sauna!
Polar plunge not polar take your time. Lol
You two are ADORABLE! Happy times!
Thank you! Great public service, to see that sustainable living doesn't necessarily mean primitive discomfort, but simply living in and being part of the beautiful world around us rather than destroying it. Great video, people! Cheers, Keith (Brit in Berlin).
We were honestly a bit nervous going into it as it's the most rustic living experience we've done. But it was amazing how full our days were with chopping wood, starting fires for meals, walking to get water from the stream and playing in the woods. In the end, it was a great feeling to completely disconnect and enjoy the beautiful nature. đČGlad you enjoyed it!
You need to get the sauna really hot. Then when you are so warm u cant stand it. You jump in the water. Then in the sauna again. Then, repeat. :)
Alison getting into the cold water was delightfully funny. What an interesting place and thank you for bringing this place that most of us would otherwise never visit to your viewers.
Loving your photography in this vlog!!
The closeups of the plant life are beautiful!
Crazy gorgeous mushrooms!!
Thx for taking the time to film and include the flora and fauna.
Continued safe travels
Yey! The thermal hot-cold cycle. I do this often wherever I can find a Nordic style spa. Worth every penny. It's a rush of endorphins and very healthy. You guys are just always having fun!.
Omg that place is adorable....I want to stay there so bad! New sub here...thanks for sharing your adventures!
This is my absolute favorite video you guys have done. Loved all the mushrooms!
OMG! Bring me back a sheep skin! I would love one on my bed! It looks so cozy! Please! Iâve been a good girl! (At 72, how much trouble can I get into while recovering from a broken hip?!) and I will be good for the rest of the week, I promise!
That looks like so much fun!
đ hope your hip heals quickly!
hehe glad you enjoyed your stay, Next time try adding water on the lava stones to steam up ypur sauna. I have basthed at -30 celcius after sauna without issues ^^
infact hot body in cold water is pretty comfortable.
I agree with you about adding water over the hot stones! I can't breathe 120+ degree DRY air. I *need* the steam because without it I feel like it is literally baking my lungs with every breath. But I do like a slightly cool plunge (25 to 30 C) after a sauna. It's refreshing, exhilarating even, but it's not so cold it makes me fear shock or cardiac arrest.
So pleased to see you wearing more appropriate shoes! The things Iâve seen you do in sneakers and flip flops makes me go đŁ. Great video! Matthew x
You all are nuts! And I love it â€ïž
Iâm a bit too old now to do what you are doing so I live the adventure through you two. Mega thanks.
Hmmm rustic. Definitely a change up. Really locked like a lot of fun. Building a fire without matches is a good skill to have. You made it look easy. Great,as always.
OMG!!! This video is for the adventurous people like us. Adventure is in our blood, our bread nd butter. This video wins our heart. Mother nd daughter duo thanks u from India. Share more. Best wishes.
It reminds me of the homes in Winnie the Pooh

Eyore's hut
And you do not go wet into a sauna after been in the water. Because Sauna itself makes the body evenly warm, and wet zones like wet bathing suit prevent that. End after the first sauna, you get a cold shower or dip for 20 to 30 seconds in the cold water. This, if you can do it, it's so worth it; because when you go through with it, you skin wil prickle like thousands of needles in it and the endorphins are shooting into your system and you get a rush of happiness into it. Ir us a fantastic way to strengthen your immune system too. But do not wear a wet bathing suit or so , your body will not get the even temperature and it will not have effects people are going for into a sauna.
This is the coolest, most beautiful, lush camp site đ
Yeah rolling in snow after the sauna is also great. Then wrap up in warm warm fine and socks and relax with an additional warm blanket .
Delightful video, I kept waiting for nomes to be popping out đ
Awesome videos! Itâs fun to view your own country/city through other peoples eyes! Makes all the âusualâ stuff seems exotic!
Loving all these off the beaten path locations.
You two are too cute with your matching plaid outfits.
Rebecca Kahler thatâs true
Haha, we were really trying to get into the Swedish forest vibe đČ
@@Theendlessadventure nailed it!
The tiny huts looked soooo cosy! What a cool experience đ
That really looked like fun!! We need places like that in the States!!! Great video you two!!!
Those huts looked super cosy
Angie Hogan thatâs true â€ïžđ
Glamping is one of the best ways to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Great adventure.
I love the vid! But soap in cast-iron skillet is a big no-no. Keep up the good work you guys!
I'm lucky enough to reside in the Sequoia National Forest In The Sierra Nevada Mountains, Ca. đČ You two make this Swedish retreat look like Disneyland. Now I want to visit and check it out even though the forrest is right outside my door! It's truly a stunning place and absolutely amazing! đ„ Thank you for sharing! If you ever find yourselves in Cali give us a shout out. We'd love to host both of you!
Ya in mount Shasta California we would always go back and forth to the sauna to the freezing river and back definitely makes you feel alive
That is So cool! I love those little huts. I can't believe they even have a sauna.
This place is adorable but I can't with bugs. Also I find lakes terrifying because you can't see the bottom! That sauna looks awesome!
Don't be afraid of lakes, they are just darker and look scary. Next time bring a long stick with you and measure the depth you are at. You will be surprised how shallow some lakes are, before you go off of course to the middle.most lakes are very shallow by the shore.
I believe those huts were for logging families back long ago . The huts would be moved as they used the resources around them . I could be wrong lol but a friend went and stayed where you were .
Pays to stay till end lol.
What an amazing place! I love it. So totally my type of adventure. Iâd be in heaven. Thanks for posting this amazing place.
My grandfather always cut hole in the ice and went from sweat lodge straight into the water. Itâs supposed to be best for good skin as the contraction of the pours will squeeze out any white or black heads. But then he ate raw fish , so who knows.
love you guys video, i was looking to watch some thing cool to watch and found you guys keep up the good work
Looks so beautiful đâ€ïž
Thanks for Sharing!!!!!
Nice. This is the first video I've seen of yours and thank you for doing something unique and fun looking.
I was waiting for a Shrek meme reference when you guys opened the hut....
Brave souls U R!
Thank you for sharing.
I also missed this.
Reminds me of the northwoods. Probably why swedish people stopped in Minnesota.
Looks like fun. Enjoy your videos. Hafa Adai from Guam đŹđș USA.
Wow Eric and Allison both of you are looking very nice beautiful amazing sweden video well done đđâ€ïžâ€ïžđđ
Wow I could actually rent my choza out here in Mexico lololol I donât have electricity jajaja not many spiders during the winter.
I stumbled upon this video and I really like the humor and the "bad " words on it it makes it real!! Lol
love seeing you getting into the water - imagine it in January!
Mark from Bournemouth
I honestly can't imagine it getting any colder! True sauna connoisseurs are hardcore đ„¶
I come from Finnish ancestry and I grew up taking regular saunas. What you did is commonly called sauna/swim and it's honestly the BEST way to enjoy a sauna. (BTW-the Finns pronounce it 'sow-nuh' not 'saw-nah'.) The way you do it is to warm up in the sauna by tossing water on the rocks on the stove until you get a decent sweat going, then jump in the lake (don't dawdle getting it-just jump in quick and get it over with), back in sauna and a few more tosses of water on the stove, lake, sauna and steam, lake, repeat if desired. My grandparents swore 3 times was the best but I've done it as many as 5 times. The sudden switch from hot to cold and back is supposed to be really good for you and by the time you are done with the 3rd time, the water is usually divine feeling. :)
Thanks for the tips! We'll have to visit Finland next and then we can impress everyone with our new, improved sauna skills đ
We are not campers but good for you guys, we love cruising you guys need to let us book your next cruise.
We're not 100% campers at heart either, but we do really enjoy it from time to time and are trying to get better at being out of our comfort zones. đThe spiders and lack of showers still get to us, but we survived! đWe actually have another cruise coming up...stay tuned đ
I have been that weird person who goes from the hot room to the freezing plunge pool ... and jumps in :D
OMG! love this! Would totally enjoy this. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Oh how cute! đ» You had your own little hobbit hut! đ
What a beautiful and unique place!
magical enchanted normal swedish forrest :)
Awesome - Your videos are always great. Ivan From Malta
Great laid back placeđ
K Wilson nice place đ
This was so fun to watch. đ
This is just wonderful.. Being one with nature! I like the hostel..
Totally cool, thanks for your great videos.
How fun! Love you guys!
"Spiders to kill..."
Why not relocate them? Mosquitoes attack and try to feed on you. Never had that problem with a spider. The rule of nature seems to be if it's not trying to eat you and you're not trying to eat it--you just leave each other alone. Maybe find a peculiar beauty in it and its part in our incomprehensible and amazing ecosystem.
You 2 are rocking the hillbilly look! :-) It is really adapting to the rustic raw Swedish country-nature vibe :-)

That's really cool. Just the kind of place I like to watch CZcams videos of from my room at the Marriott! đ€
What a great adventure, and to learn so much also. Would like to give advice on one thing. When you canoe you should be kneeling never sitting. You have more control of the canoe and if anything happens quickly you won't wobble back and forth, that's when you end up flipping it over. So kneel and put your butt against the seat and go.
I also hate getting into even semi cold water
I had no clue something like this even existed. So awesome! My wife and I might put that on a bucket list! Did it look kid friendly?
It did, actually! They have different sized huts with more space and you could even add an attachment between the beds to make it big enough for a family. They also had a kid's toilet seat for the bathroom :)
This is EXACTLY what we were just talking about.
@@Theendlessadventure Wow, that's very accommodating, Thanks for the info!
You think Kolbulle is nice? You should try a swedish runkbulle.
An actual literal LOL on that!
Allison is so brave! Well done for getting in that water - if only briefly! Longer than I would have done! :)
Wow amazing travel... back to the Iron Age. You two are brave. I have to say I am never gonna do that but it was lovely to see that some people enjoy it... and out of the sauna straight into the lake or roll in the snow and straight back in the sauna is the way to go... if you moderate it it does kinda hurt.
What a cool experience! I would love to do this one day
I had to google where the heck this place is because I assumed it was way up north. But it's literally where I live!! How have I never heard of this place!?
Vart Àr det?
@@sokar9438 Skinnskatteberg utanför VÀsterÄs
Oh wow that is seriously amazing. I would love to experience that for a night.
To whoever is reading this I hope you have a wonderful day and win the lottery
Hey, thanks! I hope to one day win the lottery lol
Reading your comment is better than winning the lottery!
Amen â€ïžand right back at you.
Leon Murphy Thank you Leon Murphy. If I did win the lottery I will definitely share the wealth đŻ You have a wonderful day and you win the lottery đŻ
I hope YOU win the lottery also* I was planning on winning one day :)
Second best Alison facial expression after the Tokyo street market food (forgot what she was eating then). I don't think I could've done that, way to go Alison.
What a cool place to stay!
Loved it. Great video đ editing.
Glad your got to visit sweden! :D Cosy place! That kolbulle looks so draw though haha, it should be golden brown and crispy on the outside
Ok that place beats the houseboat!! So cool
Looks adventurous. Wish I didn't have a bear phobia! Watching the Revenant didn't help. I'd be looking over my shoulder every minute...

Luckily the only ferocious creature we came across with a hungry kitty cat đ»
Best Adventure by far. Thought you couldn't top the Bunker experience but you did, you really did. You both look so happy with just the little things around you. Learning fire skills is so cool. So amazing the lake water is cold at the END of Summer Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. PS Googled Kolarbyn Ecolodge. Just to let people know, there are also larger accommodations for families and groups.
Thanks so much, Chris!! We're so glad you enjoyed this one as much as we did! We were pretty nervous going into it, because (as I'm sure you've gathered) we are not the greatest wilderness people, but Kolarbyn's so well organized that it honestly felt more like glamping. You actually don't miss electricity or running water at all đ
Try it in the winter and roll in the snow, then back into the sauna.
Another great video guys, thank you!
Thatâs just an hour drive away from where my family is from in Sweden!
Is it outside skinnskatteberg?
michael jernemalm no, my family is from LillhĂ€rdal itâs a tiny little place.
@@kiannaroselomeli3090 I mean the location kolarbyyn. There is a place called kolarbyyn just outside Skinnskatteberg đ
nice video, I looks very calm over there! I
barry yeah great place
Too funny. Yeah the lakes are cold. I will try to check out the campsite since I live in Sweden. Thanks for the video
Wow this is so so cute!
Really enjoyed. Thank you!
Cool video Adventurers! Eat those mushrooms! đđ»đșđ€đ€đđŹ
Wow my fav.pankakes ever ,you should use on top sugar or blueberry jam....huummm deiligđ
The thing with sauna bathing. You stay in the sauna and pour water on the stones until it gets so hot so you get warm in the core. Then you go out and jump into the water. Because you are so warm you wont feel how cold it is. Then you go inside, stat there four 20 minuts, take a beer and then jump into the water. Do that for 2 hours and you will sleep like a baby!
Definitely wish I'd known about the sitting for 20 mins part! đ We did put some water on the stones and got it super toasty in there. Beers for sure would have been a great addition đ»
We go in sauna and roll in the snow:)
Can see you both applying for "survivor" & rocking it !!! less rustic & more jungle well done
Sally Jones â€ïžâ€ïžđđ
I think they are much more Amazing Race than Survivor! They would KILL it on the Amazing Race. KILL IT and win the BIG prize!
