This is relaxing Scandi-style Slow TV, Sam: wanderings through fairytale wooded landscapes dotted with rocky outcrops, clumps of forest fruits, picturesque Hobbit huts and idyllic vistas of the sea. Day 3 was obviously a wee bit frustrating - it surprised me that there's so much of the so-called 'trail' that entails trudging on asphalt. But by Day 4 all seems well with the world: you've got your cottage, your porridge and your three elk. Could be that Guldlock, as the Swedes call her, was lurking there too - perhaps under the guise of Lasse > lassie … ?! The previous night's camp made me smile, though. I mean, rival bushcrafters demonstrate 'expert' ways to do things, making followers feel so inadequate that they rush out to buy the over-priced cutting-edge kit being pushed by their sponsor. But that tarp firmly tethered between a swaying birch sapling & a stick set at a jaunty angle was a down-to-earth reminder of what ordinary folk actually do when they desperately need to get some shut-eye. Likewise shovelling calories in via a quick'n'easy dehydrated wilderness stew, rather than magicking up restaurant-quality haute cuisine (which also seems to count as bushcraft these days) - though you did nod in that direction by not going for just any old brand (Blå Band = blue band/ribbon = cordon bleu!). In fact, that's what I enjoyed most about this episode, the unpretentiousness of the way you go about things. Along with the on-screen names of flora & fauna. Regressing to innocent adventures like this provides a welcome counterbalance to the chaos all around us at the moment, so the effort you put in is much appreciated.
I finally managed to watch part 2. 😊 Learned so much again and saw such beautiful landscapes again in this video. Many thanks. 🙏🏼 And I was very happy about your animal meetings (black woodpecker, elk). Myself have not had any luck photographing the black woodpecker up close and without shaking effects. 🥴 But I hope it will happen someday. 🍀 Greetings also to the German hiker friend you mentioned at the end of the video. 🙌🏼 I'm already excited about the next part. 🔜🙃
Huh! European elk is the same animal as American moose! Yet, American elk is a totally different animal than moose/European elk... because American elk is a type of a deer! New day - new knowledge!
Awesome views 🤗 Again, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for watching 😀👍🏻
Another awesome video.
The bush walks and those views...just magical..
Thanks 😊
Thank you Heather 😄

You know what Tony, this is by far the best comment I've received from any one on here yet and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to write it.
It's easy to avoid the asphalt, just walk in the ditch. ;)
Very happy with the forestry commentary.
Thank you 😁👍

Lappudden was nice to camp at, I rented a sauna and bought a couple of sauna beers to go with it while I was there. 😎
Sauna and beer sounds great 😀

Yes they are all species of deer. American Elk is very closely related to European Red Deer 👍
