Our last days in Sweden - Leaving our cabin for good (and struggling)
Emotionally we are not really ready to leave this #winterwonderland yet. But it's hard to argue with certain visa restrictions. In this video I am sharing our last few weeks in our little cabin, trying to cherish the fleeting time before we shift back into our new (old) life in the US. We are not sad about the shift, but it's not going to be as comfy in the beginning...

Surströmming Challenge - Trying Swedens stinky fish with locals
มุมมอง 2.8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
We did it. We tried the stinky fish for the first time. Our kind neighbors invited us to their home to show us how it’s done. But just seeing all these videos on youtube, we were quite nervous, to have it in someone else’s home. I guess that’s the only option, when it’s -27 degrees… :) #surströmming #sweden #swedishculture 0:00 Intro 1:01 The Before 2:05 The Opening 5:01 The Eating 9:41 Other H...

    I just don't get it. Beds in a van are such a waste of space and time. Long live the humble hammock. Quick and easy to set up. Comfortable. Stuffable and stowable. No problem finding a level spot for the van. No need for blocks and levelers.

    Anyone have ideas for draining? What to do with the water for showers?

    • @lisasomewhere88
      @lisasomewhere88 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For showers I would either just do an outlet to the bottom of the van that can be shut if necessary (but then a higher shower pan might be good). Ideally though would be some sort of holding tank of that shower water underneath the van with draining option.

Roughly know what you're looking for and off you go. But also check if you're on private property, just to be safe. Wishing you lots of fun and finds when you go out there!

    Hi! How did you figure out which pieces you needed starting at 6:10? I am planning on doing this system too, but even though it is so simple, the compression fittings are confusing to me. Thanks for your time!

    • @lisasomewhere88
      @lisasomewhere88 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! Yes, I was very confused too! Started with just going to Homedepot, seeing what kinds of connections there are in the first place, and the terminology. Basically knowing the name/size/material of what you want to connect with the plastic tube (but for faucets most compression fittings are the same), and then just seeing with which connector you can get a bit closer to it. Also just googling what end you want to connect to another end, helped a lot. There’s a lot out there but not everything, so you need some inbetween connectors usually. Installing the foot pump needed much less pieces than with the electrical pump though, so that’s a plus. :) Good luck on the install! 💪We haven’t had a leak/problem with that system at all after 2+ years. 👍

    The swedish population has historically been fed with herring and porrage. The herring was traditionally salted, but salt was expensive so the step to reduce the salt is short! On the Faroe islands they traditionally dry lamb meat without salt (Skerpikjøt), exposing them selft for the risk of borulism, just beacuse salt traditionally was expensive and could not be produce on the Faroee islands

    Hi, i think this is not fun at all and it is offending to a very old Swedich formenting method . I go mad seeing clowns playing with a good food because they dont know how to eat it or prepare it, often younger Sweds showing of. You file it and dont eat this fish with guts and finns and all it is rediculess see this.its an old method to preserv the fish in a time there was no refridgerators and modern tecnik , that was a importend food back then, and there are many more disgusting foods and ways to prepair it than Surströmming. If you dont like it let it bee and go away- You should know that there is a dish from Island that is formented Shark that is so toxic that if you dont prepair it right you die. And there is very few that eat it. It stinks so bad that its done far away out in the country and its only a couple of guys that could forment it and even eat it. There is ather similar products around the world that is worse than our Surströmming so stop playing with it and pretend vometing and such crap. Yes it smells but if you dont want it go away there is sure some fatty juicy unhaelthy ribs or staeks to eat .

      I agree that wasting a traditional food with so much history for the sake of views can be offending. Which is why we reached out to people who like it and who could show how it's done correctly. But yes, there's more and probably much worse tasting and probably smelling food out there... I heard of the shark, just didn't know it is so dangerous. Interesting!
