A short film about building a log raft on a river in Sweden, and drifting away from the world with your friends... I hope that you enjoy it. This was one of the best adventures I have been on in a while!
[Thank you to Haglöfs and Temujin Doran (studiocanoe.com/) for being magnificent raft-mates and film-makers.]
This was the most therapeutic thing I've watched in a long time. thank you
yes it is
Very true
This is Sweden I've been there made that raft what a wonderful holiday
Beautiful! When I was about 10 years old my Dad gave me the books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Since then I always wanted to run away from home, go to Missouri, build a raft and float down the Mississippi river! Im 50 now and still want to do it! When I was a kid I built a raft (about 5"x8") in our catfish pond at home in east Texas and spent many happy summer days on it for several years.
george madis I am 40 years old and live in South Africa. I loved the two Mark Twain books about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. I used to pretend that the swimming pool was the great Mississippi river in America. How I loved those stories and I'm a girl living so far away!
That's amazing! I awlays wanted to do it too!
George.......DO IT! life is to short not to
I'm 63 and read those books as a lad too. Made my little raft and paddled it around on the lake I grew up near. When you get ready to run the Missouri gimme a shout, I'll go ...
Well, it's still not too late: "... Any river, big or small, just being there, is a permanent invitation to a man (I could add" especially to an ungrown one ", but that would be a redundant statement ) to get some wood and nails, build a raft and explore it.If you grew up with Mark Twain books, this idea stays in the back of your mind pretty much throughout your life.If you do not need to google terms like Kon-Tiki or Deliverance, and consider endeavors like those cool, you know very well what I am talking about without further explanation.
Once you realize that common excuses (job, career, kids, etc.) are exactly just that, excuses, you only need to pick a river, find a few oddballs who also think this is a great idea and start gathering wood - it is that simple...." Intro from "Searching for Huck in Balkans" :)
I found this video by chance, I find it unfair that it has not received hundred like, in just 4 minutes the sense of peace and beauty of nature. bless

I couldn't agree more with your comment. Makes you wonder how the vast majority of us, human-beings, are either distracted by useless, futile stuff or have somehow our priorities misplaced. I've also found this video by chance but I was searching for wooden raft build videos. The chance element refers to the fact that this video popped up on top of the million possibilities. Can you immagine how much beautiful stuff we are missing out on due to random chance?
My best friend Jenny is from Sweden. She came to America when she was 14 and her mother died. She is like a daughter to me. She went back 2 years ago to get her visa renewed and she is still stuck there. Swedish people are the kindest people ever! Love the beauty, the colors, the attention to intricate details... everything about this was a wonderful adventure. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with the world! I wish it could've been longer!
I came here because I am building a small Contiki raft for fishing, to film for my own youtube channel. However, I can not compete with this. This is just sensational. Well done. LIKED!

Clay Tall Stories p
I love this, really inspires me to carry on filming our micro adventures in this way!!
yes did you ever start filming ?
@@summahype I hope so, and I hope the adventures are all wholesome.
Wow, beautiful.
Still one of my favorite films of all time
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautifull countryside & you all did a great job creating the raft large enough to put a shelter on top of. Great job filming it as well. Admittedly I got really hungry when I watched that delicious dinner you guys cooked. TYVM for sharing the experience & I hope you all will get to do it again many times
myself and a buddy took off on a innertube for 3 days on the Sioux river back in 78 . we both just turned 16 , we had a truck tube you couldn't put your feet over the side it was so massive but 3 days with pump 22 pellet rifles food , beer and all things survival what fun . 16 miles on a river to go 5 miles to next town took us all 3 days it was big Sioux river the angry snake in Sioux language . Ill never forget !
I live right by Klarälven and I have to say; your video is one of the most beautiful expressions of what the river can be I have ever seen. Great work and I hope you had a wonderful time floating by!
What an amazing trip. Thanks for sharing with us. Davin
How lovely, I enjoyed it. Thanks
Wow, what a great adventure!
Thanks for the Memories...
You´re the sickest thanx for this beautiful idea love you folks
This is awesome! We live for adventures like this!
Building a large raft like this reminded me of the stories I read as a boy about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain/Sam Clemens. Thank you for the calming effect it had on me.
Without a word or any narrative, I still watched this to the last second....well done.
Cinematography on point, as well as your lifestyle
Blessed is this country we hold so dear.
The video was so perfect and gave me so much peace to watch.. God Bless you all.. Paul Florida USA
My childhood dream come to life. I was a badly abused, undiagnosed autist. My lovely Dad read me Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer when I was 7ish. I read them over and over again and went there in my mind as an escape. I fantasized about running away to the woods and rivers, to float peacefully down a river on a raft, pipe clenched in teeth, feet bare and dirty. Someday, I will.
Beautiful dream as mine.
I love the way you have built this raft. It's really adventurous and innovative
Beautiful, relaxing, AMAZING. Thank you.
Great video. This trip has been on my bucket list for a few years now.
Красотища!!! A big breath of fresh air. Beautiful!!!
Beautifully filmed Alastair! Love the music too :) Thanks for sharing.
This was a very big fantasy of mine throughout my entire childhood...😄

Excellent story told without words. I could imagine myself on that raft. I can't understand why anyone would give this relaxing story a thumbs down? Some people just can't understand.
