7 Day Wilderness Canoe Trip - Part 2. Rogen Naturreservat Sweden. Hammock Wild Camp. Fishing.

- In this video, Andy (Kent Survival) and continue our canoe trip in the wilderness of Sweden and Norway.
We set off from our wild camp spot in the Rogen Naturreservat in Sweden after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs and pick our way through the lakes and portages of this stunning corner of Scandinavia.
After a full day of paddling and one particularly brutal portage, we arrive at a last obstacle, a shallow stream that we can not paddle - time to get out and man-handle the canoes down. Finally we arrive at our camp spot for the night with enough time to have an explore, pick blueberries and even attempt a little fishing.
A filling dinner cooked on our twig stoves and a beer or two and its time for rest - tomorrow is a big day - we cross the mighty lake Rogen.
I hope you enjoy the video,
Thanks for watching.

Simon, I'm sure you've had others commenting with fishing advice. But a couple of tips. When lure fishing you are targeting predatory fish. Predatory fish in still waters will conserve energy by hiding in cover and ambushing fish. Fishing very close to any sort of cover i.e. along the edge of reed beds will give you the best chance of a fish taking your lure. Also try imparting some movement to the lure rather than just reeling it back. Try it out in the margins in front of you. Jiggling the rod tip so your lure looks like an injured fish, darting forward then dropping back. It's a really fun way of fishing!
Solid advice
dynamite - is my preference!
Thanks Jon! I need to get some practice in!
@@simonablokeinthewoods sure Mike from TA Outdoors would give you a few tips or his dad Grahame
You always find the best tunes to play out on. Icing on the cake but sets the whole thing off so we’ll.
As always, another GREAT episode!! So glad you mentioned the extra time & effort it takes to capture even the simplest scenes for your channel. While we're sitting around on our A$$es enjoying all the beauty you bring us, very few realize how hard you work at bringing winning content. (Not to mention the chore of editing!!) ...Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!!
Thank you! Nice to know it’s appreciated 😁
I enjoy the whole process, but it is time consuming and takes a fair bit of effort at times 👍👍
Ditto, thanks. And you also essentially mounted 2 entire expeditions because you didn't share a canoe, tent, kitchen, etc. 3 portages adds a long time.
In nostalgia for my own canoe trips from decades long past, I think I'm going to make my green tea on a stick stove this week. At least once. Will see where it goes from there :-)
Thanks.
A trick with fishing sometimes when you're paddling your Canoe throw your line out behind you and as you drag it behind you you might get a fish every now and then you'll have fish for a dinner
Your beer stock is probably the best part of your trip 🚀
Simon in this trip you showed how great you are, physically and mentally. You keep being positive even at the lowest point.
Thanks for bringing us along on another big adventure!
Thank you , Simon .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
Ohh, that Amundsen IPA is one of my favorites.
Great video as always.
Superb bit of film , keep it up brother your a testemant to Men and what can be achieved
Awe the best the lads at Gorbals men shed Scotland .
Simon says there's plenty of fish in the lakes but what he doesn't say is there's far too much water with them. Lovely scenery makes for a great days paddling. Bushyboy Oz.
My two favorite Brits! Thanks for sharing, from the USA!
To get everything out of a tube of that cheese, just slide a spoon from back to opening and it will be flat as a paper 😉🤘
2 blokes in Sweden, Yay!
As I said in Andy channel, you two are my favourites. Absolutely loving this. I have a honey stove off your rec and I love it, use it all the time. If I ever become King of Sweden, I will make sure that you take priority over other users in those huts.
Haha - thank you Jim!
All the hard work and effort you put into your videos is very much appreciated Simon. I always look forward to them.
I watch @kentsurvival as well. Great bloke. Loves his neck oil😁😁😁
Hello friend. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. Big hugs and until next time.
You can fish for Zander in low light conditions. Delicious, white fleshed member of the perch family. Pike will also feed in the dusk hours.
Your coffee brewer at the beginning of the video makes me want some coffee. Looking forward to the final chapter of your journey next week.
There’ll be 3 more episodes after next week 😁
You looked exhausted after that long paddle, big respect to you for keeping filming, moving the camera around etc. Well done Andy.
"Morning folks"...... all is good in the world now. Love your videos and loving this series.
Thank you! 😁
For Englishmen, you make a mean Italian pasta dinner. Your twig stove experience is wonderful. If you’re needing a new trip, please think about the BWCA in Minnesota, USA. We’d love hosting you and Andy. Cheers, Skillet
Choice of beer aside another great watch. Looking forward to the next instalment but saw the title of Andy’s video and saw the word ‘disaster’
Beautifully filmed and edited Simon! Such a pleasure to watch! 👍🤩
You have seen the fish rising in the lake when you were tucking into that delicious looking pasta!
Cheers to you Simon. Great video. Really enjoyed the trip.
I saw a little rapala plug in your little tackle box. Just slow troll that behind you when your paddling. It’s a sure bet around the edges of those lakes. Then you can make time and catch dinner. Just about the time you forget it’s back there till have one on.
Apocalyptic cider juice???? 😳 I don't think I will ask. 🙂 Beautiful scenery and I perceive that the videography was complex and challenging. Great video & once again some delicious looking chow on the trail. Thanks.
"That'll keep the scurvy at bay." 🤣🤣🤣
Pasta is good you are not carrying water. Enjoyed the the video thanks.
Great video Simon and Andy, what a lovely place and having shared it with a friend makes it all the much better.
What Al Hart Said...lol
Really enjoyable film, high standard as always! Thanks for taking the time. 🖖👍👊😊
What a shame about the huts..... it's really fun to watch how you handle the canoe. I truly enjoy and appreciate your videos Simon. Thank you for all your diligent photography exploits. I know it's time and energy consuming and takes away a lot of the enjoyment and pleasure of your trips. Thank you so very much sir.
Aloha Simon, Watching from Kona, HI. Great to see the Big Island represented half way around the world.
Simon would have been a great asset to a mining crew or in the military - both of these require positive outlook and great work ethic an I have experience in both
He’s a good man ! Most TH-camrs would have it title “ we missed out on another hut ! And i sprained my ankle “
Not Simon tho
Jjst smiles and let’s us know in passing n Carry’s on
Brilliant fella
Kona brewing! Good stuff
"Can't get it out" Oooooh Matron 😉🤣😉
😂😂
Enjoying this Series!! Big ups👍 to yourself and Andy!🗻🍻
Wow great vid! Some spectacular airial video edited in! You really lifted your video quality with those! Great stuff!
Always love your music selections to go with your great vids. Thanks!
That morning shot when you were talking about fishing. That's when you should try fishing. Morning and evening are good. Perhaps if Andy would get up early you could have got the good campsite. Great video
the opening on this vid was great, peaceful and relaxing. Great trip, well done guys!
Another beautifully edited episode Simon…not jealous at all!
Wondered why you weren’t putting on boots for the long portages but now I know….that must have been hell in those rubber soled booties!
So beautiful! Thanks for going through the hard stuff to bring us the views
soooo stoked. I have a feeling that, at least this part of the trip, will go down in your history as "the Portage Safari"....poor Andy...his loathing was palpable 😂
Haha - it was like a hike through Sweden, carrying canoes 😂
Great Video! ❤️ look after the ankle! 👍
Epic! Looks grueling though. You both looking like you needed the pub after that!
Another cracking episode Simon. The trip looks amazing. Here’s to episode 3
Welcome to Sweden. ,😊
Joy......just as JG Stevens below says.......thank you!
Get a bellman coffee pot Simon. Great coffee!
Yes another awesome video from Simon thanks Simon enjoying the video 👍👏🙂
Super video Simon, I’m sure we can forgive the cold water pasta!
😂😂
Hey there Simon hope your doing well. I love that coffee maker you have. You couldn't ask for a better one in the woods camping. It sure is beautiful where your located looks like a very quiet place too let your mind wonder away . I wish you the best stay safe. Happy trails my dear friend. Have a awesome day. ;-)
"sir, sir, he's pointing at the map AND NOT USING HIS FAT FINGER!" lol, I love it, good use of a twig. good effort Simon, really enjoying this series. my good friend Ratbag has decided next year our gang plus his brother and sons are off somewhere in Scandinavia for a similar adventure. I have to say I am really looking forward to it.
Hi simon amazing views amazing food looks a great trip its on my bucket list so at some point i will get there thanks for a real entertaining channel and taking the time to film all this 👍
Brilliant stuff Simon and Andy, shame you kept missing out on the huts but the good old twig stoves save the day and are just as good.
'No-see-ems' is what those little buggers are called in Canada 🇨🇦 .
The mosquitos are big enough to carry small children away. .
You guy would enjoy the Bowron lakes in B.C. check it out ....
Ah yes! I’ve heard them called that - little buggers! 😂
I don't always remember to comment or like, I apologize for that. You and Andy are my favorite videos to watch. Thankyou for putting these up and God bless you both! Hi from Maine, U.S.A
Love seeing your trips. Just dreams of mine to do the things you do. Those portage s don't look like any fun at all. Love the campfire cooking. Keep up the good work. Hope your ankle won't be a problem. Looking forward to no.3!
Thanks for sharing another great episode of your journey in Sweden! Looks like you have a great time even though it seems like a lot of hard work.
I really hope you got to see that moose before you left.
Back to this after 2 days - been a bit busy. Combined twig stove ignition champs. I like that large canteen pan - reminds me of cadets and basic training. after all the portage and paddling you'll need that. Pretty good stuff guys.
This trip is amazing to watch I will do this one day I have to . Thank you for sharing. Going to watch Andy's now , I enjoy the different points of view .
Nice one guys! Firebox now has a freestyle stove that can also act as a small contained fire pit and lightweight. Perfect for the type of trip you are on. Looks like a great adventure!
Great stuff!
Great stuff lads
Beautiful, just what I needed. Thanks Simon!
in that opening shot id love to airlift a nice size mini house or fifth wheel and call it home
First time I've seen a Fire Steel Off. Think Simon edged it. Would have used a lighter myself. Bushcrafters will cook pasta starting with cold water, but they won't compromise over fire-starting.
As always! I love your videos! This trip has been tons of fun to follow.
Great video, I've been enjoying the journey with you. I continue to appreciate all the hard work that is exercised in the making and editing of the presented content. Well done.
I really want myself that coffee pot!!! Glad to see you and Andy having a good time together. Rustic long distance/duration trips are never easy. Down here in South Texas we pronounce it Chor-ē-tZo.
As soon as you showed the map and mentioned the hut, I had a suspicion it would be occupied. At least you still found a great spot to camp and very nearly had fish for supper. 😁 It's turning into the sort of trip that will live long in both your memories, and your biceps will be pretty well developed after all that portaging! Looking forward to the next instalment.
Simon Andy love your partnership with the videos and your individual ones you put on some great shows survival with a bloke in the woods Andy where is your dog I love Maggie Simon what got me hooked on your shows was the mental health issue I want more of Simon and Andy I say Simon and Andy because you Simon was the first person to get me back interested in 🏕 camping What a great way to escape the rat race just for a time
Amazingly done as always Simon! Visited Rogen a couple of years ago, saw a massive bear from our boats on our first day. Quite the experience.
Lucky devil! I’d have loved to have seen one!!
Enjoyed this ☺️🙌
Next trip, while your buddy sleeps in, go fishing rather then sit around drinking coffee and talk about fishing. And often, the earlier you start casting the sooner breakfast is caught.
Broke my phone so got to get a replacement can get back on youtube and whattsapp then watching this on my computer 👍
To be honest...just looking forward to Andy's capsize! 🤣
Thanks for spoiling that for folks that didn't know that was gonna happen
😂😂
great video, now on to andy's.
What a great trip Simon. I was a little worried when you were pushing that canoe through the rocks! Glad it didn't rip! Cheers!
Thank you! They are very tough boats 👍👍
I really got to say this, I really love your videos Simon!
Thank you mate!
Say wondering if some kind of shoulder strap fixed to each canoe might help on a big double portage. Think you'd need to have a spreader bar too. Thanks Simon. Nicely shot 👍
Good Andy's not ill this time ^^.
Thankfully not! 😂
I was waiting for the video, part 2.
Hugs from Brazil.
Well done!
Fishing is a skill you can learn close to home. This could be a series of intructional videos, if you ever find yourself stuck at home and need content. I bet you have someone in you neighborhood that goes to city parks and streams and catches more than their share. That person would be glad to point you in the right direction. A bloke on the bank, has a nice ring to it.
Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures.
Great video! I have gone to using an old pair of sneakers(running shoes) for my boat shoe. They have good traction in the water and you can walk in them for portage’s. Plus they don’t get all smelly like neoprene. Depending on the trip i just toss them after.
Cheers
Another great video Simon. Enjoying learning of your journey
👋 Hey Simon and Andy..awesome trip..excited to see part 3 😁..be safe and stay well 👍
Alright part 2 is here 👍
First
So beautiful. I remember when i subd to you years ago watching you in your backyard and shop. Amazing how much has changed, But you’re still the same dude. Killer video brother. D😎🇺🇸🤙
Thank you!
I think Andy is the only bloke in the world that says chin chin since David Niven said it back in the day when offering alcohol.
Great video Simon I love you and Andy on y’all’s adventures.
Food, fun, camping and canoeing nothing better
Also thanks for the lantern idea Simon
I have one of the Dietz ones now I had one as a child now I have another
Looks a fantastic trip with stunning scenery. I'm very jealous - I've just winched my canoe up to the ceiling of my garage. I'm going to have to try fitting my barrel on a spare rucksack frame now.
C'mon Simon fess up this is the broads really isn't it 🤣🤣 i was just saying to Andy how much me & my crazy wife enjoy both your channels & how well the shared video's turn out, keep em comin bud 👍👍
wonderful video! Thank you "Simon in Sweden" 😃
Deja Vu aside, this looked epic. I am honestly not sure canoes and portage are my sort of thing, but it's more than ample to see someone else do it! ;) Be well.
Wow, what an amazing adventure!!!
Anyone would think you wanted Andy to get his ass out of bed! 😂🤣😂
Beautiful shots from the canoe, especially right down close to the water, just stunning!
That food looked amazing, the beers sounded good, the company incredible and a wonderful night!!
always comforting having flames!!’
Look forward to the next instalment!! Love KGW 💕
Just beautiful. Good times!
Thanks Simon.
Sure would like to get my hands on one of those coffee steamers.
I googled esbit coffee makers and they sell very similar products and a stove to fit perfectly under it...... I sorely tempted!
@@skookumjack Thank you very much. I will have to check that out.
Cheers
The coffee maker is a traditional vintage Hungarian mokka pot 👍
@@markcummings6856 you're welcome Mark. I've since ordered one with a fire box underneath £41 with postage. So fingers crossed it will brew a stellar cup of joe 👌
