The beauty and simplicity of your videos is unmatched anywhere, No talking , Just Living.
I could watch them for Hours, Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you very much Jason!
Your style of vid is what keeps me coming back, and subscribed, no music, no narrative, no voice over, just great visuals and sound telling the story.
Thank you !!
Absolutely beautiful film rich in quiet solitary joy, could smell the frost, wood smoke and coffee. Thank you. Harry
Thanks a lot Harry!
Pure class! Thanks for taking us along with you.

Thank you Keith 😄
You believe in euophemism good to know the way you ve enthralled the readers. . . That sounds your positive persona........ Lastly I would say why one get entagled and bear the sufferings in such cold season
@@nimkynasir7814 are you nuts ?

Thanks for sharing your skills. That Birch bark feathering, and igniting on the knife, was next level...great idea.
Thanks!
Your videos are the best of all ! Nature beauty, silence, your ingenuity, comfort and appreciation from fire...
Another awesome video! The camp stool was very clever. Sometimes a piece of wood just tells you what it's supposed to be, and you just have to go with it. I figure seeing that branch gave you one of those "eureka!" moments like that. The kuksa turned out great! If I'm out in the woods, I try and do as much shaping and carving as I can before cutting it out of the log or branch (as you did). It's just way more stable and easier to hold steady if you don't have a vice or clamp of some sort. Glad to see I'm not the only one! The Auger and gimlet sure are worth their weight for Bushcrafting. I think it gets overlooked in many people's kit because the electric drill is familiar and the de facto tool for most people, so hand boring tools are completely off their radar. I carry an Irwin brand MicroDial expansive bit (bore size is adjustable from 5/8"up to 3") and an 18" bit extension that I use with a chuck for an auger brace with a scotch eye welded to the shaft. That, and a gimlet can sure come in very handy! What made you decide on the tent this trip? I'm looking at different zehltban/lavvu type shelters and was curious to know your thoughts on them and how they compare to a tent. Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
right! what better vice than being attached to the log itself! I took this tent because I need more lightweight, and I knew the temps were going to be both over freezing and far down as -15C during this trip. Im so tired of things getting wet and I wanted something with a floor. And its weird that in the bushcraft world there is some kind of common agreement we are supposed to use tarps and lavvus LOL. Everybody else going to the woods, who is hiking more than just staying in one spot roasting some hot dogs, use tents. So many things is trends these days. I love my lavvu... its the most versatile piece of fabric ever. sure but walking very far in tuff terrain like i did this time, it would have been horrible with a heavy piece of canvas.
Wow, that took a lot of work to get these shots! Great perspective by doing so! Enjoyed it all! Thanks for the effort ❤️
Thanks!
Thanks so much for another 26 minutes of therapy. A little "intestinal fortitude" to overcome a rock wall, a really tasting looking pasta dish and an awesome carved cup. The tent looked impressive...I need to look into something like that. Until next time - Thanks again for taking me....us away from the daily BS. Nice job. Take care.
Thanks a lot Daren! Glad you enjoy my video!
The fist three minutes was so breathtaking, ended up in a fabulous place, thanks a million for great videos,
Very peaceful and quiet video, love the fact he carried his Heinz's ketchup into the wild, a must for every man's survival kit ;)
😂 Thanks!
Molto bello .... puro ...
Come la notte che scende ... e tu vai avanti ....
Greetings from Dolomites Mountains, North East Italy 👍🏻🌲
Thanks!
Non riesco a capire perché in Italia non fanno così, almeno dove sono io. Solo caccia & gente che fa canoa o pesca.. Mai vista il backpacking over night here, do they do it in your area?
Poche volte ... Quando nevica
It never gets old, I really look forward to each and every one of your short movies! I can smell the crispness in the air and the taste of that pine needle tea.
Thanks!
Thank you for this. As I started watching, my woman was going on about COVID and the new restrictions, and I was pretty stressed out. It took me a while to calm myself ....I think after the cooking part of the video I started to relax . The Kuksa carving was awesome, and the scenic ending shots. Great video, and thanks again.
Another phenomenal video! Your stool and the cup was awesome to watch you make. I want a fry pan and a kettle like you have...love them both! Like how you always take your carving tools and the scotch eyed auger. You are the epitome of bushcraft/primitive camping! The different shots you took the time to shoot is outstanding. The rock facade is one example...how many people would have climbed up and down as many times as you did to take that awesome shot of you scaling and hoisting your pack up. I just can’t say enough good things about your videos. I’ll try and sum it up...YOU ROCK??!! lol thanks again for sharing. Many blessings and take care friend, Nikki. 👍👍 two thumbs all the way
Thanks Nikki!
Good Job, it‘s nicly to see 👍 without music 👍 Greats from Germany
Thanks!
Genau 👍🍁
Classic Swedwoods video. . .thank you for your efforts and sharing. Climbing the cliff for us just to climb back down to get your camera is much appreciated. Nice work!
Thanks Bill!
what's so enjoyable about these videos is the natural sounds and the seeming emersion in the process that allows you to leave your self awareness behind, you can just flow with the progress of the task at hand and sometimes just stop and watch the smoke..its like Zen meditation. .
Be careful on those cliffs. Makes for good footage, but you're my favorite youtuber. Don't die.
😂😂 Thanks for your concern!
@@Swedwoods หดคช
Another very nice video and awesome scenery :)
Thanks bro! You got any snow down there?
Very little. But hopefully its coming in the next couple of weeks.
the two legendary who spoke again,,

Thanks!!
Tack för bra video!
Tackar!
Great video brother! thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Stopping by to rewatch. Loved it.
Proud of you for carrying a carbon steel knife! You are a good woodsman. When I was younger, I would camp out like that. Now I am old and lazy!
Amazing, like all your jobs
Thanks!
Thanks glad to hear!
very good video my friend, you have a great adventurous spirit. you have earned a subscriber, I will continue watching your videos. Greetings from Uruguay! 💪🇺🇾
Thank you very much!!
I can watch your videos over and over again.Thank you for helping me recover my friend
Thanks a lot! New one coming up this weekend... if I can catch a fish!
@@Swedwoods As long as you are ok that is enough
I love that bong sound of ice over deep water.
👍👍

Thanks a lot!!
Природа как в моей родной Карелии, только снега нет). Лесная кухня - это нереальное испытание для зрителей! Спасибо за видео - подписался.
Thanks for you comment!
Since I live far from true wilderness it's been a while since I did camping like this. Nice to have youtube as a substitute. The only thing missing is the smell.
👍
hey! just found your channel and realized how much I got to learn, ill be sure to look into your videos, I just subscribed. I live down south in Sweden, would be awesome to meet someday! nice work, sincerely Ted
Thanks a lot Ted!
That was good
Kuksa turned out nice👍
Keep them coming
Thanks my friend!
No talking no bs just the sound of nature, another awesome video as usual, thumbs up
Thanks!
Nice relaxing trip! Enjoyed your carving. Some videos make kuksa look difficult, your method I could do! Thanks for posting.
Yeah my thought with this was making it easier than what I have seen, what better vise than the tree itself right? Thanks!
Wait, so you go down again to take your camera after arrived on the cliff?? That's so tired
Great content and I hope everyone who watches this understands the effort you have gone to, to make it look so professional. What did you add to the steak to season it? Looked delicious.
Thanks...just some grill spice
Woow this was a very special place where you did your set up 👌🪵🪓🔥⛺ very good video 👏👏 i love to watch it👌🤗
another stunning video you never fail to please, you always cook the most amazing looking food but that Kuksa simply brilliant never seen one made that way before...atb
Thank you very much!
Aaaah!!! @ 12:34 , one of the most beautiful scene of the video😉, and @ 14:35... Space noise! It's totally strange👍
Thanks! yeah totally space feel in that one..
toulouse666 it's like a whale! 🐋
Were the evergreen needles for filtering your coffee grinds? Enjoying your vids. here in Southern U.S. We had some snow flurries and refreshing arctic air today.
yes coffee filter! Thanks!
Struggling to write just how much your videos are enjoyable. Thankyou.
Thank you Jeremy. Im very glad you like them, it inspires me to keep going!
@@Swedwoods I am just so taken with them. Excellent photography, wonderful scenery and surroundings. Brilliant. Thank you again.....but stop making me hungry. LOL
Beautiful country!! Excellent workmanship in carving.
Thanks!
Love this one! Thank you! Tell please - it must pretty interesting feeling after such a time alone in the wild. Was it tough in the beginning?
Hey my friend. Interesting you should ask that after this particular outing. I can admit that most of the times you are out in the woods its really hard actually. People think its all a wonderful garden of eden but... its 70% hell and 30% bliss. But those 30 % is what makes you come back. What was new this time is I felt I wanted to stay there. I didn't want to go home because the woods and that campsite by that lake was great. But I have a wife and 2 small kids so I always miss them of course. It was really a great feeling to feel totally content there even after 3 days in that cold. Walking home I roughly calculated this to be my 400 outing with overnighter.. in lets say 20 years. So for me it took a long time to feel I "belong" there LOL
@@Swedwoods first of all thank you for such a warm answer. And second - I was out in the woods for a couple of days maximum and never alone, some with my wife some with my son, and never in winter, but you're right it is not simple at all. I hope that maybe in a couple of years we can go to camp in Sweden, maybe I will even require some recommendations from you)) but for now - many thanks and do what you do further, there is always some magic in your videos! Take care!))
👍
Молодец,Окей!
Thank you!
I'm so glad you made it to the top of the cliff safely!!! Climbing solo and to get hurt with a fall?!? Very exciting video and you have so many skills! I can't stop watching your awesome videos!!! 😉 Truly cinema art - the very best!
heart in my throats watching you climb ! great to see you making wooden cup
thanks!
Man I love the fork and you're awesome crafting ideas
May I ask where you got the candle holder ?
Thanks! Inherited it from my father who had it when we hiked in the 80s when I was a kid. no idea where to get one like it
I realized while watching the beginning that you had to climb back down to collect your camera.
yeah... 3 times i had to climb to get the different shots...
tie a line to the camera
@@sb1806 Wouldn't even do that to a GoPro camera.
Y take risk of climbing in solo (then to go down to get the camera back)?
To create quality content for viewers.
Amazing scenery, great wood carving skills, and killer food! I've done similar trips in winter, alone, deep in the woods, some climbing and rope work, no filming though. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing your adventure!
Awesome mate! Thanks!
Dude, you are amazing. Thanks for filming this for us. Highly entertaining and I learn a lot!
you are most welcome sir! thanks!
If i was a 1/10th of the man you are, I'd be happy!
Im sure you are closer than you think! This is video my friend!
Which country are you from? because the environmental beauty is immense.
Thanks for making these sensational videos that you make :D
I think that is in sweden.
Sweden. Thanks!
@1:40 set the camera.. climbed up (with that heavy backpack).. came down to get the camera, climbed back up.. that is some serious hard work.. so much Respect for u sir ❤️
Yeah 3 times I had to climb. Thanks!
Another great video, I'm so glad I found your channel. You truly are an inspiring person, thank you for sharing your skills!
Thank you very much!

Thanks!!
Your bushcraft skills are awesome, but as an italian, your cooking is hard to watch...
Great video btw, as usual.
Thanks! ha ha I bet you would have brought fresh tomatoes right? Popsicle in the morning. 😨
So inspiring Thankyou look forward to all your videos
Thank you very much!!
Great vid, especially the filming of the rock climbing, holy crap!! Eating like a king!! Thanks!
Thanks Scott!
When did Climbing While Wearing Tweeds and Smoking a Pipe go out of Fashion?🤣
🤣
Looked like fun. Thanks for the video
Thanks!
Great vid. Yeah, not sure I'd be up to climbing the rocks so many times to retrieve the cameras! Glad you had it in you! And again, you always seem to cook amazing food!
Thank you my friend!
I've always enjoyed hearing, and been intrigued by, the sound of thin new ice ringing, which you captured nicely at 14:35 in the video. Singing ice, crows cawing and ravens croaking--I describe one musical call they make here in the NW USA as "Kerr-Oonk"--have punctuated the solitude and made solo ventures in the wild all the more enjoyable for me.
Nice to hear man! Thanks!
@@Swedwoods You are welcome. It is nice to watch videos shot in the outdoors without having one's nerves assaulted by, in my opinion, inappropriate jarring sound tracks.
Scenery is stunning! Food looks great cooking skills are unique and creative! Thanks for the genuine entertainment!
Thanks a lot!
Vilken fantastisk skogskänsla denna video andas. Man känner nästan doften från skogen, matlagningen och röken från elden. Ingen dålig plats du valt att övernatta på heller. Och så en sparvuggla som pricken över i Fick en enorm inspirationskick nu !
Underbart att höra min vän. Och tack som sjutton att du identifierade fågeln åt mig! Har undrat vad det var.
This guy is a real foodie. Great video 👍
Thanks!
What a great video, 26 minutes of pure joy.
Thank you!!
What I like about the video, is that it is free of added noise.
👍👍thanks!
Thank you !! End of May I will go to Sweden again. And I take my new Mavic 2 Zoom with me and try to get beautiful video takes. I was looking for a DSLR also and now I know ;-} I try to work with Hitfilm Express. But I am still a noob who is learning ;-}
awesome man. will try carve myself a kuksa too!! thanks for sharing
Nice! Thanks!
Well done sir. Great video. Looks like you got some gear upgrades. Loved it.
Thanks Chris!
All the forests are closed here in the moutains of NC. Thank you. At least I can watch someone having fun.
Thanks for watching!
Very professionally made. I am impressed.
It was a journey that required you retrace your steps time and time again because of camera settings. As for climbing that rock-face that also required that you had to climb down too,to fetch your camera and its supports, then climb it again. Bravo! And congratulations on creating a great video. BB
Thanks! Yeah.. had to climb 3 times
A very nice video in all ways! Thanks , everything pretty much the way I like to do them too. Hope you have many interesting trips to come
Thank you!!
This man here is risking his life climbing up and down the rocky terrain just to give us the best shot. Salute to you, @Swedwoods
Thanks for watching!
Great video man. Have an amazing week, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks my friend the same to you!
Just love all your videos even watching them again!!😁✌💚
Your carving skills are minifest and genial! I see its best to take a few good tools and make what you otherwise need out of wood, even your fork and grips for the metal tools, work with the forest and all its resources and not against it. Sterilise with hot water, plenty if wood around and snow, you just need a spark rod and a knife. A few of the right things and with work you can survive and manage well. A true lesson for me!
Thanks a lot!
Great video! Beautiful country! You captured the peaceful perfection of nature my friend! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your emotions with us, i feel very calm now :)
thank you very much so nice to hear!
First time viewer here, great trip. That's an AWESOME kuksa carving. Been wanting to carve one for a long time.
Thank you!
Awesome video! Very beautiful location
Thank you!
Dude, you are so hard core! The real deal!
Thanks! 😁
really, a lot of hard work in this video, you have to be very brave to do something like this man doing, I have a big respect to him!
Incredible technique climbing that cliff and pulling your pack!!
Another great video! I really like the trick with the fire steel ,I must try that. Thank you.
Thanks!
