As a Swede it really angers me to hear about these guys fishing. If you fish you only bring home what you will eat. Otherwise if you caught a fish and do not intend to eat it you should remove the hook safely and but the alive fish back in the lake. Awesome videos btw! 😃 I wish you a great time here!
I'm norwegian and this is not the normal way to fish. You fish what you eat. I do fish a lot and we but back (alive) the once that is to smal. But we throw the the head and those things to the seagulls when we Fillites
I cant understand why people will ruin so beautiful scenery with throwing trash and behave like that. I think all the Scandinavian countries are known for being very clean and the people respect both nature and cities compared to many other countries. But it will always be idiots that dont respect anything. So all those turists that are coming there,s always the chance of some of them not being respectfull about taking the litter to nearest bin. Understand this was a swede but i have seen tourists here in Norway where i live ( Marnardal) Just tossing boxes and things out of the Windows of cars and it pisses me off. We have to take care of this beautiful country so we can continue to have the freedom to use all of our nature.
My husband and i love your channel for the reasons you are so upfront and honest. We love the fact that you tell it as it is and you are honest about your findings whilst travelling, Its great that you are giving a truthful account and people shouldn't winge if they dont like it. More people should be open and honest and not hide whats really going on in the world xx
I like u comment it would be nice if more honest and they don't need to be mean when being honest there are always nice was to say the truth without meaning mean
Louise, never apologize for being honest and telling the truth. You can't fix stupid. Try to find things to bring you joy and leave the stupid idiots to their own devises. I am new the your channel but LOVE the places you go. I will never be able to go to Europe in a van, so a huge THANK YOU for taking me with you!
I am so glad you told the truth about what you saw. I hate, absolutely hate the destruction of idiots destroying our home. This is our home and when disrespectful mindless creatures destroy our home I find it very distressing. I would say those fishermen were real creeps trying to send a pee lesson to women. Scary actually. Thank you so much for sharing it all for us. You girls are amazing and have an incredible channel. I can't wait to see you every week. Enjoy and thank you both for being you. X
Ya right, ms Beynon, but i do'nt think they'd be too stressed about it. Pervs are "all over t'shop". They'll have seen plenty, in their time on the road, i reckon.
You're right about the litter thing. I'm very aware of the differences in attitude to litter from country to country,its a thing I really notice. It demonstrates the real respect a population has for their country.
how anyone can be offended by the truth is beyond me! love your honesty and passion for the environment lou, and i think thats why your photography is so beautiful, your love for nature shines through x
Louise, your videography, photography and production is just going from strength to strength. The wife and I really look forward to your amazing vlogs. You keep it real, are honest about your sponsorship and the rose tinted glasses are firmly in the glovebox. Well done to the both of you.
I love your direct, honest approach. Don't change for anyone. Like attracts like and anyone who wants the sanitised, fake vlog have lots of other choices. I mean this with the kindest heart. You care, the world needs more of that 😊
I love your honest videos Lou. We want the good and the bad. I would have taken his rego and reported him. Disgusting behaviour. Peeing in a lake, throwing cig butts in. And killing so many fish needlessly. They need a wake up call. Another great Vlog. I look forward to them each week. You go girls. ❤️
FROM THE WEB:- Urinating in public is a criminal offence in Sweden and anyone caught doing it could face a fine for disorderly conduct. Public urinators in the western county of Västra Götaland were found to be the worst offenders, with 253 fines handed out. This was followed by Jönköping County with 157. A total of 191 were fined in Stockholm County. Fredrik Wallen, a spokesperson for East Region Police said it was not known why more people were fined in some areas compared with others. “But generally speaking, we can see peaks of this when we are out and patrolling at large events and gatherings. It is of course natural that we have to catch these people in the act,” Wallen told Nyhetsbyrån Siren. Loving your channel so much, inspirational and uplifting with some pretty cool humour ... blessings to you both
I love the fact that you share the truth, I would rather get the real picture so when we make decisions to visit places we don’t have rose coloured glasses on. I think we need to respect the environment and it really frustrates me to see people ruining it with rubbish too.
Thank you for your honesty. I travelled in a camper for 2 years and alot of camp vids come across as happy clappy jolly holidays. It has a dark side both in what is witnessed and experienced. As a single woman on my own I had some inspiring, yet daunting experiences. Travel definitely broadens the mind!
Like someone else commented, I doubt those fishermen were from Sweden. Never seen any Swedes smoking while fishing and such. Glad to hear that your overall experience with cleanliness here in Sweden seems to have been a positive one though. Loads more things left to experience during future visits!
I love the fact that this is a NO frills & Not a sugar coated video and that you say what you see, which is a breath of fresh air for video's. So you keep saying what you feel & see as it will make other people visiting this blog aware of things to be mindful of some places they might want to visit. The IKEA museum looked interesting. As always looking forward to the next visit. Hugs UK
Good for you Lou, litter-bugs are the scurge of humanity, I live in South Devon UK and it is heartbreaking & extremely annoying, as to how much rubbish is left behind on our beautiful beaches,..xxxx
@@tigerspook1 I'm up near St Andrews and we get the same problem (although not quite as severe). I take a carrier bag with me when I go for a walk and pick up any that I see but it really shouldn't be necessary.
Yeah, I'm from Devon too and there's always so much rubbish in beauty spots. It confuses me that people choose to spend their spare time or holiday in these places they clearly view as pretty and special and then trash them. It makes no sense.
Totally respect your honesty about your van lives - I don't have time for people pretending that everything is great and there are no problems; creating a false narrative does no one any favours ultimately. Oh and thank you for taking us round the IKEA museum - I really want to go there! 😃
Your editing (including the music) is second to none - I always notice it, not because it's obvious, it's just so good! But as always, the main thing is, I always come away with a broad smile on my face - thank you!
Think you should've got some drone footage of those guys - out of reach of their fishing lines of course - and posted it with the innocent question is this what its like everywhere in Sweden?! And no blurring the faces - or any other parts of their anatomy. Love to you both. Hope the rest of the journey is stress free
I agree with you, I don’t like to see people littering, it drives me nuts! The scenery was beautiful and the food at IKEA looked fantastic! Great video ladies! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Girls - Please just carry on reporting the way you do. The honesty is refreshing and you are being true to yourselves. You guys just get better and better and your passion for what you are doing is clear. Another award winning outstanding video. Thank you. And yes, as much as you need likes and views, if truly people don't like it then **** off somewhere else. WE love you, 100K by Christmas.
I'm right there with you, I care about the earth and taking care of her and I appreciate you pointing out the ugly truth. Life is not always a glorious holiday. Safe travels to you 2 this week! Looking forward to the next one!
Hi Great video as always totally agree with your views Louise fortunately you’re not gonna change things just like that i’m coming up for 61 had a heart attack in the last two years you need to chill life is too short there’s always gonna be ups and downs where ever you travel to You’re doing something I wish I could’ve done 30 years ago but unfortunately my circumstances are totally different good luck keep the good work up and chill
The reason we continue to follow you is you are both brilliant, your content is great,camera and drone work is stunning. But most of all you tell it as it is! Hooray!XX🥰🥰
Louise you go girl! You say it like it is. One of the things we like is the truth of the road. People can be disgusting, any where you go. You guys are great! Keep up the good video's. 💕
It seems that more people are acting like that. A week ago I was in a parking lot when a couple who were perfectly healthy, parked blocking a handicapped space and tried to leave their shopping cart blocking two other handicapped spaces. When I asked them not to, she threatened me and called me names. She didn't stop until I got my camera out. And all I said from my handicapped vehicle was really your going to leave that there?
Seen lots of vanlife videos from Sweden - it’s firmly in the top five bucket list spots for me now. Don’t let the fisherman put you in a sulk - there’s a k**b h**d everywhere you go and as far as Sweden goes it’s one in a million. Totally agree that the cycle must be broken in order to prevent generationally inherited behaviour. Ahh Johns fries… he did those in his George Foreman which is why they got squished ha ha - yourselves and John and Mandy are my top van lifer TH-camrs y’all produce videos with unquestionably brilliant content, and quality videography. Given the investment in equipment (cameras, tripods, drones, software, licences etc etc etc there can’t be a very good profit margin and so us as viewers/subscribers get a wonderful deal. So thanks to the four of you (I know John and Mandy will be watching and maybe reading comments too). Question: have you thought (since Lou is a brill photographer), about a van lifers pet calendar with AJ, Summer, Cooper, Archie etc… Something most subscribers would enjoy - a great Xmas gift.
Thank you, yeah it’s not the cheapest of hobbies that Lou has but she does love it and that’s the main thing for sure. Them fries were good, I now fancy some 😆🙈 Yeah we have thought about that to be fair and maybe one we could put a bit more thought into 🤔
Glad you feel passionate about the environment. There's always the minority that spoil things for others. Better to tell the truth!!! Enjoy the rest of your stay. Thank you for sharing. Take care 😚
It's quite hard to work out if it is a minority or not - I don't _see_ people dropping litter very often - but I do see the evidence of it everywhere! Do the minority produce an enormous amount?!
Another cracking video ladies. Don’t ever apologise for caring, there should be more people like you. The drone footage was the best yet. You really have got a eye for detail. When Emily said a voice of a angel, you should have replied “ yeah, hells angel “ 🤣. I love the way you bounce off each other. Keep doing what you are doing, and keep the fun facts coming. Stay safe ladies
My youngest daughter (29 yo) absolutely loves to shop through IKEA! She would be in heaven at that museum! Environmental concerns are well placed and should be consistently spoken about. Thanks.
Can't believe IKEA has a museum! Adding it to my 'must visit' list haha. Please stop at the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmo on your way home; seeing Emily eat a load of weird stuff would be hilarious. Love you both x
Sorry there were rude ppl that ruined the stay. Totally understandable how frustrating that is! It was so fun seeing you enjoy the IKEA museum. Love seeing your travels ❤
I appreciate the honesty in your videos as well as the beautiful views, humor, and knowledge always shared. Didn’t know IKEA now has plant based meatballs so that’s awesome as I always felt left out when we went before. Thanks for taking us with you on your travels, we really look forward to your videos! 💟
Hi guys, am a recent follower but I'm absolutely loving your vlog. The quality of filming is really excellent and I love the combination of walks/kayaks, animals, nature and who doesn't love a drone?! I've just watched your Bear Lock episode and will be getting one of those too, so thanks for that info. I have a tip for dog and ticks (that's easy in the van) - I haven't googled whether it's OK with cats though, so double check that if you're thinking of using it on Summer. I use natural solutions for my dog wherever I can and basically I mix a cup of water, a cup of apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of lavender oil along with 5 drops of rose geranium oil into a small plant spray bottle, shake it and then spray Lupa with a few sprays all around her body, before I go for a walk, mostly just during tick season. I make sure to keep it out of her eyes, and instead just spray some on my hands to apply it around her head. Also a few drops of the rose geranium oil (it has to be the rose version apparently) on the collar is a good deterant too. I had a real problem with ticks on my german shepherd when I was in deer country in my van in early July but since I've been using that combination of oil on the collar every week or so, and the spray, we've not had a single tick. Hope that helps. Keep doing what you're doing, it's fab to share your journey👏
I will try that, currently they are covered by the drops and by a collar but it does not stop them simply getting on him, I think it doesn’t help that I can see them straight away, lou says I don’t give the stuff we are using chance as I’m like “what is that dot, AJ stop” 😆 I also find making him stop during our walks is good for him as well with training so not a bad thing I suppose
@@campervibe perhaps this is why the ones you found wern't latched on. Like flea drops, it doesnt always stop them jumping on, but it certainly stops them from latching on. For me, rubbing all over my doggos fur meant they didnt even attempt to come near her. I can certainly attest to some positive results of this mix, and I've been using it for a few years now. Now all I need to find is a cow pat repellant...she loves those 🤢
Agree with you Louise I can't stand the litterers either. they want to use the nice areas but let someone else clear up behind them. Save the planet and wildlife. Great video
In the States, Ikea furniture requires a Posidrive screwdriver set. Most Americans have never heard of it, or own it. And the Ikea store and catalogue don't mention them, so it is off to the hardware store or Amazon to get them.
Honestly love you guys! Have been on a tiny hiatus travelling about where I am bit have caught up now and absolutely loved all of it !!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ you guys are so awesome and I’m so looking forward to catching up to date again 🙌🏽❤️❤️
You are braver than me I do not think I would have stayed for fear if those fishermen coming back in the night Also that car left there would have freaked me out!! I would have been out of there!!
Lu you do a great job of staying real about the environment, please never stop. Also, you young whipper snapper going on about the 70's and 80's: the mullet is coming back. That is a generational gift for you. Thanks ya'll great video.
I’ve lived here now in Sweden for 18 years and I’ve never seen a Swede smoke while fishing , and at a guesstimate I would say the men were from Eastern Europe .
Why eastern Europeans? I'm scandinavian, and the sad fact is that while the majority of us behaves respectful towards our nature when using it, there is a good number that don't care at all. Especially the younger generations out partying can behave with total disrespect to both other people and the nature they are out there to supposedly enjoy. It's a terrible attitude that must be related to how decadent and spoiled our society has become.
Most smokers, no matter nationality are not the most conciderate people, either they are just trying to be cool or they are just jerks that also have an alcoholadiction. As adictions are very selfish and egocentric condictions, and the fishing they did was probably poachfishing, without any legal permits
The way I see it, it's your vlog, so you should talk about what you want, be that litter, Ikea museums or snack cupboards. If someone doesn't want to listen to a 'rant' (and I wouldn't call *that* a rant!) about litter then they don't have to watch. You are just being your honest selves, talking about what you care about, and that's why I (and I suspect many others) keep coming back to watch you all.
I appreciate you giving us the truth as it comes. I hate garbage and rude/gross people. They unfortunately exist everywhere. I hike around 🇨🇦Vancouver daily and while it’s a very clean city I have taken to carrying plastic bags with me so I pick up trash here and there (mostly masks dropped inadvertently). The good news the numbers I come across have diminished greatly. It’s so nice being in 🇨🇦 where there’s a lot less litter than 🇺🇸..Anyway, drive safe! 😉
Another great video. Loved the IKEA museum, we actually live only 5 miles from the very first UK store. On littering I was horrified when looking at another You Tuber travelling in a van. She filmed herself picking up litter on one of the Outer Hebrides. She said she hesitated to put that footage up because she had received "a lot of hate" when she showed herself litter picking on Instagram. Took me some time to process that - hate for picking up litter!
That is just so wrong Peter. She should be getting praised for it not hated on. I'll always sing the praises of folks that are trying to make the world less litter filled.
First of all, it have been fun to follow you two around in Norway and now Sweden. What you experience with the fishermen is not normal in the Nordic countrys. As i know there is no reason for trowing dead fish out in the lake after fishing it. Here in Norway that is illegal and you have to pay a big fee for doing that. The same if you are on a fishing boat. So why this two trow the fish back in the water i dont know. The fish they caught was Perca (Perch) or Abbor like we call it in Norway and are a very good fish to eat. In some lakes it be to many of them and in this lakes you should not put fish you dont want to eat back in the water again. But you never allowed to kill them and trow them out in the lake again. In the Nordic countrys we have some problems with people from east Europe that come her looking for work and live from 2 to 4 people in the cars around in places like this you was camping on with the fisher men. Sometimes it can be up to 10-20 cars ib some places. This people often fish for food, go to toilet around the place, trow cigarettes and garbage all over the place. Police have to come some times to tell them to leave the place so other also can use the place but also because they destroy the place. It is not fun when you come to a place with peoples like this because it look like they don't seem to care if they pollute nature or consider others. Do you notice if this fisher men was Nordic people or from another country? I had guess that this was East Europeans peoples.
Another lovely vlog, ladies., thank you. Two things I'd like to mention. Is Emily going to join that secret society off the Da Vinci Code, the halloumi-nati? Secondly regarding the foraging, every type of mushroom is edible...but some only once...
Late comment, but I like someone else pointed out I’ve never seen a Swede smoking & fishing. They may use snuff but not cigarettes. Pro fishers wouldn’t throw dead fish back either I think. There are lots of people in Sweden missbehaving and being idiots out in nature, unfortunately, but the fishers in your video were most likely not Swedes by the look of them. Thanks for all your lovely videos! I’ve gone back to your very first videos and binge watched them lately. Almost up to date now. 😁💕
Another really interesting and engaging vlog. I love the filming, the interaction between you two, and the fun facts that you share each week. Also, it's so refreshing to see it how it is, rather than through rose tinted glasses. There are always a few people who will spoil it for everyone else and your honest reporting was spot on, and it would be good if those people could actually hear what you had to say. Thank you for sharing and being such a great channel.
I love how real you both are. Keep it like that. I would be ranting about it to. I still want to visit all these places. Looks amazing. You make me feel brave enough that i could, even though i have never driven abroad before. Love Donna
That most annoying thing are the leftover filters, they won't degrade at all, if just more people would roll their cigs from just paper and tobacco, that leftovers would be gone in three times of rain... Nice museum, did they mention in there that they have produced many stuff in east german prisons in the 70s and 80s? Thx for showing all sides of travelling, not just the glamour stuff! Safe travels into the heatwave, hope all of you getting through it! Thx for the vid, brilliant as always... 👍👍👍
Well done ladies speaking out regards the scummy behaviour shown toward local nature and the environment I wish these people could be held accountable.Keep up the good work
Sweden so beautiful, love the filming but just pure honestly in all your films . One of the best channels to watch and dream about all the places you been too . Nice one both take care 👍
Happy to hear your idyllic Swedish expectations (mostly) came true! ;) I don't think the fishermen were Swedish. Never seen any friends or relatives smoke while fishing ever. They might grab a beer, but not a cigarette. Unfortunately it's not uncommon to find empty cans around campsites, but most Swedes use snuff for tobacco nowadays.
I was just going to say that. I have friends who own a summerhouse in Denmark and they, unfortunately, know when some of the guests have been Eastern European and, occasionally, German, by the state they leave the grounds in with rubbish everywhere, as well as not removing their trash from the house as they leave etc Sad
Hi ladies, i just wanted to say a couple things, without your guide on building your van we would not have been able to get ours built. I personally think your build series was the easiest to follow and most comprehensive series avaliable to new builders on TH-cam. You made everything super easy to understand and basically ensured our build was done to a professional standard because of your commitment to making high quality videos. Thank you so much for your hard work becasue you made a dream of ours come true. I wanted to ask where you got your single passenger seat for your van ? Ive been on the lookout for a single passengers captain seat for a while and cant seem to find them, did you retrofit a drivers seat or use a specific website to find one? Love your videos, keep up the hard work !
Hey girls! Many thanks for another superb vlog. It was an abrupt slap in the face when I saw how these gentlemen behaved. Really embarrassing I have to say and it's not how we Swedes are brought up. We learn from early age not to litter. To respect and handle nature with care but unfortunately there's some bad eggs everywhere. I've contacted the association and explained that these kind of behavior is not compatible with fishing and nature conservation. They should know better than this. They know better then this. Thank you for lettings us see the reality. Update: One of the men on the video got back to me after I sent an e-mail to the association. According to him the numbers of dead fish and cigarette butts which was thrown in the water where much less than assertion but still bad enough. The lack of understanding was obvious but I'll give him credit for giving me a call and face my criticism. And yes. They are Swedes. Nothing ells.
Oh wow that’s interesting to know that they got back to you which yeah totally give them credit for and of course they will say it was not as bad but the whole family were there at one point smoking and throwing the butt in the water 🙈 but still hopefully they may think twice 🤔
One of my favorite things to forage on my backpacking trips in the mountains up north (here in the States)…wild blackberries and blueberries! Some days I only manage 15 miles cause I’ve spent so long faffin’ round in the bushes. (faffin! I’m learning British!!!)
Love the environment rants and long may they continue. As soon as we stop commenting on these disgusting people, they will have won. The guy who exposed himself to Emily deserves to be in jail. If you have any footage of them , send it to the police. Did you get their rego number? On the plus side loved the vlog and the endless banter, makes my day. Cheers girls.
@@oliverbrown8038 He deliberately exposed himself in a pretty vile way (front on) in an attempt to make Emily feel uncomfortable. She should not have to put up with that disgusting behaviour.
@@CookingAroundTheWorld oh traumatic how will she ever recover?....look the other way maybe? It's 2 blokes going fishing and being a bit badly behaved. No-one died, if that's the worst thing that's happening to you in life you're doing pretty good.
The blue berries was not what we call blueberries or what is know as bilberrys in english. it was Odon berries. Its no problem with eating them they can be little bit watery and bitter compared to our Bilberrys. (blåbär) if you are senstive to them you can get little bit stomach ache if you eat loads and loads of them. It can be tricky to see at start because they can live at the same place. But they are normaly on a higher bush then Bilberrys. both the plant and the berry has a different color. The Odon is more light blue on the outside. They also has little bit different shape. Another blue berry that can live at the same place is Crowberrys. They are very dark blue growing very close to the ground. smaller and harder. You can eat them but they dont taste that much and can be bitter and sour. Back in the days some used them in jams. Lingonberrys should be picked when they are bright red, They dont taste that good to eat raw can be very tart. but you make tasty jam or drinks of them. Rårörda lingon is something many swedes love to their meat. You should try it. its not as sweat.
I was brought up not to drop litter anywhere. We always take our litter home with us. So sad to see litter lying around everywhere. Just love IKEA it's my fav shop. Just like Emily I would've bought all the snacks too. 👍😊
A tip for the ticks If u are coming again, there is a medicine you could give your dog that makes the ticks instantly die the second they bite, so u never have to check for them. The medicine lasts for like 3 months and is safe.
I don't know about Sweden, but in Norway there is a quota of how many fish each licensed fisher ( you must buy a fishing license for a specific area to be allowed to fish there, and the quota is specified depending on that area as well) may fish per day - though this might also be averaged out, not sure. I know of a fisher who got his entire quota for the season in a few weeks and left to do other stuff this summer, lol
Lovely video guys. Louise you do right to tell us about what you actually saw with the fishermen, what is the point of showing and telling us the good things, when not so nice things happen, i couldn't belive what they did, not nice for the pair of you. Thanks again for taking us with you. Enjoy your week guys
Sadly the litterbugs you saw belongs to a Sports Fishing Club , according to the emblem on the back of his jacket… One would think that they would know how to care about the environment , nature and ethics of wildlife values, but obviously not. Thanks for caring and for a great episode again 🙏🏾😊
I agree with you on the terrible way those guys behaved. You did the right thing, filiming and telling us about it. All too often folks let this type of behaviour pass. Good for you!
don't feel bad about speaking up about litter !! nature needs to be preserved and you're bringing awareness to that. the practice of LEAVE NO TRACE is so important!!
Loving your adventure, as always! Hey, tell Lou not to give a toss about anyone complaining about this or that - just keep to your own true selves because that's what I love about ya guys. Safe journey, gals! :)
Nice vlog guys. We are with you. We hate merchant bankers like that. We would have pushed them in. 🤣 Emily, you should have commented about how small it was. 🥕
The image with the lake that was mirror-still reflecting the clouds was epic! Cannot believe the a-holes that killed fish unnecessarily, pee’d in the lake & threw their cigarette buds in too! I was thinking they must have been on drugs or something… that’s really bizarre and violent behaviour… I don’t think ‘violent’ is too strong a word based on what they did. I totally understand how you felt, as I always get depressed when I see things like this, but I’d rather hear the good, bad, and ugly of your adventures. The ticks… we have the same issues here in CA when we go camping with our pooches: Chewy (wheaten terrier/like Chewbacca in Star Wars) & Chloe (Boston Terrier, with Vader’s personality… she falls into the dark side when she sees other dogs… LOL). Anyway, ticks are the one creature on the planet that scare me more than any other (except humans) … infinitely worse than mosquitoes in my opinion. Hugs! X
Who knew there was an IKEA museum ?! Great video showcasing how beautiful Sweden is. Shame about the fisherman, but hey, that they were one example of the unpleasant side and highlighted because such bad behaviour was so unusual x
Now that Scandinavia is in your rear view mirror, I know you'll be back because it's so obvious that it was the place of your hearts' desire. I really enjoyed traveling with you two lovelies through Norway and Sweden and your videos were both hilarious and beautiful. (My neighbors spent a month in Norway in June....camped in the woods....they said there were no mosquitoes...food for thought.) I can't thank you enough for the work you put into your videos....absolutely amazing. xo Suzi
Been spending the day binge watching your channel just brilliant content because you two are straight up about your experiences ! As someone looking seriously at getting out there this is content is wonderfully realistic and thoroughly enjoyable too! Even my cat Jemimapuddleduck is watching too. There’s always those peeps who go about their day lacking in situational and self awareness. Thank you for being both and conscious travellers too. Love fried up squeaky cheese yum yum! Who knew there was a IKEA museum?? Here’s to enjoying seeing more of travels - keep it up and be safe from NZ 🇳🇿
Nice vlog👍. It looks like the berries you picked were blockberry and not blueberry. Blockberries are white inside and similar to the blueberries you can buy in the shop. Those are garden blueberries which is also white inside. Real wild blueberries are red/blue inside and more tastier. It looked like there where many blueberry bushes around you where you picked. Those bushes are smaller and with greener leaves.🙂
Thanks again for a magic vlog, and we love that you guys speak the truth!! Beautiful photography and terrific fun facts again!!! Well done to you both. 🤗🤗

As a Swede it really angers me to hear about these guys fishing. If you fish you only bring home what you will eat. Otherwise if you caught a fish and do not intend to eat it you should remove the hook safely and but the alive fish back in the lake.
Awesome videos btw! 😃 I wish you a great time here!
I know was so annoying but we still love Sweden 😀😀
I'm norwegian and this is not the normal way to fish. You fish what you eat. I do fish a lot and we but back (alive) the once that is to smal. But we throw the the head and those things to the seagulls when we

I cant understand why people will ruin so beautiful scenery with throwing trash and behave like that. I think all the Scandinavian countries are known for being very clean and the people respect both nature and cities compared to many other countries. But it will always be idiots that dont respect anything. So all those turists that are coming there,s always the chance of some of them not being respectfull about taking the litter to nearest bin. Understand this was a swede but i have seen tourists here in Norway where i live ( Marnardal) Just tossing boxes and things out of the Windows of cars and it pisses me off.

My husband and i love your channel for the reasons you are so upfront and honest. We love the fact that you tell it as it is and you are honest about your findings whilst travelling, Its great that you are giving a truthful account and people shouldn't winge if they dont like it. More people should be open and honest and not hide whats really going on in the world xx
Thanks guys and yeah we got to tell it how it is for sure 😀
Totally agree 👍 ❣️
I like u comment it would be nice if more honest and they don't need to be mean when being honest there are always nice was to say the truth without meaning mean
Louise, never apologize for being honest and telling the truth. You can't fix stupid. Try to find things to bring you joy and leave the stupid idiots to their own devises. I am new the your channel but LOVE the places you go. I will never be able to go to Europe in a van, so a huge THANK YOU for taking me with you!
Thank you for coming along with us, it’s nice we can share these places with you 😀😀
Shame about the litter, I love how you highlight the good and bad about van life, keep doing what you do. Thanks for your honesty xx
😀😀
I am so glad you told the truth about what you saw. I hate, absolutely hate the destruction of idiots destroying our home. This is our home and when disrespectful mindless creatures destroy our home I find it very distressing. I would say those fishermen were real creeps trying to send a pee lesson to women. Scary actually. Thank you so much for sharing it all for us. You girls are amazing and have an incredible channel. I can't wait to see you every week. Enjoy and thank you both for being you. X
Yeah it’s really frustrating
Ya right, ms Beynon, but i do'nt think they'd be too stressed about it. Pervs are "all over t'shop". They'll have seen plenty, in their time on the road, i reckon.
You're right about the litter thing. I'm very aware of the differences in attitude to litter from country to country,its a thing I really notice. It demonstrates the real respect a population has for their country.
how anyone can be offended by the truth is beyond me! love your honesty and passion for the environment lou, and i think thats why your photography is so beautiful, your love for nature shines through x
That shower looked cold. The Loreal moment was awesome.😂
Great video as always! I agree 100% with your take on the environment. Also, I must tell you how much I love your music tracks.
Louise, your videography, photography and production is just going from strength to strength. The wife and I really look forward to your amazing vlogs. You keep it real, are honest about your sponsorship and the rose tinted glasses are firmly in the glovebox. Well done to the both of you.
Glad you both are enjoying them
I love your direct, honest approach. Don't change for anyone. Like attracts like and anyone who wants the sanitised, fake vlog have lots of other choices. I mean this with the kindest heart. You care, the world needs more of that 😊
🙌🙌
I’m glad you talk about the environment and bring this to the attention of everyone. Recycling also. Thank you for caring. Gaia appreciates you. 🥰
😀😀
I love your honest videos Lou. We want the good and the bad. I would have taken his rego and reported him. Disgusting behaviour. Peeing in a lake, throwing cig butts in. And killing so many fish needlessly. They need a wake up call.
Another great Vlog. I look forward to them each week. You go girls. ❤️
FROM THE WEB:- Urinating in public is a criminal offence in Sweden and anyone caught doing it could face a fine for disorderly conduct. Public urinators in the western county of Västra Götaland were found to be the worst offenders, with 253 fines handed out. This was followed by Jönköping County with 157. A total of 191 were fined in Stockholm County. Fredrik Wallen, a spokesperson for East Region Police said it was not known why more people were fined in some areas compared with others.
“But generally speaking, we can see peaks of this when we are out and patrolling at large events and gatherings. It is of course natural that we have to catch these people in the act,” Wallen told Nyhetsbyrån Siren.
Loving your channel so much, inspirational and uplifting with some pretty cool humour ... blessings to you both
Oh wow that’s some good info there 👌
I love the fact that you share the truth, I would rather get the real picture so when we make decisions to visit places we don’t have rose coloured glasses on. I think we need to respect the environment and it really frustrates me to see people ruining it with rubbish too.
Thank you for your honesty. I travelled in a camper for 2 years and alot of camp vids come across as happy clappy jolly holidays. It has a dark side both in what is witnessed and experienced. As a single woman on my own I had some inspiring, yet daunting experiences. Travel definitely broadens the mind!
Like someone else commented, I doubt those fishermen were from Sweden. Never seen any Swedes smoking while fishing and such. Glad to hear that your overall experience with cleanliness here in Sweden seems to have been a positive one though. Loads more things left to experience during future visits!
We can’t wait for the future visits, this trip has gone too quickly for our liking 😀😀
he has a shirt from a local fishing club. Gullringens SFK. (SFK = Sportfishingclub) But that behavior is extremly rare where I live.
@@KristoferOlsson Maybe someone should give a heads up to the club to let them know someone (a member?) setting a poor example.
@@MediaMaverick_ I have contacted them by e-mail. I´m expecting a good answer.
True, as a Swedish fisherman I've never seen it either.
I love the fact that this is a NO frills & Not a sugar coated video and that you say what you see, which is a breath of fresh air for video's. So you keep saying what you feel & see as it will make other people visiting this blog aware of things to be mindful of some places they might want to visit. The IKEA museum looked interesting. As always looking forward to the next visit. Hugs UK
We hope it does that’s why we want to keep mentioning 😀
You keep loving this earth and caring the way you do, the world needs more people like you two.
Good for you Lou, litter-bugs are the scurge of humanity, I live in South Devon UK and it is heartbreaking & extremely annoying, as to how much rubbish is left behind on our beautiful beaches,..xxxx
It really is Trisha
@@campervibe Sadly so!
@@tigerspook1 I'm up near St Andrews and we get the same problem (although not quite as severe). I take a carrier bag with me when I go for a walk and pick up any that I see but it really shouldn't be necessary.
@@daveturnbull7221 thank you, litter picking is appreciated.
Yeah, I'm from Devon too and there's always so much rubbish in beauty spots. It confuses me that people choose to spend their spare time or holiday in these places they clearly view as pretty and special and then trash them. It makes no sense.
Lou don’t ever change! It’s up to us to change and we can’t if you don’t show what’s really going on
I love your videos and your appreciation of nature and the environment.
Totally respect your honesty about your van lives - I don't have time for people pretending that everything is great and there are no problems; creating a false narrative does no one any favours ultimately. Oh and thank you for taking us round the IKEA museum - I really want to go there! 😃
Your editing (including the music) is second to none - I always notice it, not because it's obvious, it's just so good!
But as always, the main thing is, I always come away with a broad smile on my face - thank you!
Thank you 😊
Think you should've got some drone footage of those guys - out of reach of their fishing lines of course - and posted it with the innocent question is this what its like everywhere in Sweden?! And no blurring the faces - or any other parts of their anatomy. Love to you both. Hope the rest of the journey is stress free
I agree with you, I don’t like to see people littering, it drives me nuts! The scenery was beautiful and the food at IKEA looked fantastic! Great video ladies! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Girls - Please just carry on reporting the way you do. The honesty is refreshing and you are being true to yourselves. You guys just get better and better and your passion for what you are doing is clear. Another award winning outstanding video. Thank you. And yes, as much as you need likes and views, if truly people don't like it then **** off somewhere else. WE love you, 100K by Christmas.
Exactly how we feel
Great film , don’t apologise for caring. Some people really don’t appreciate our planet and we need to look after it.
Take care
I'm right there with you, I care about the earth and taking care of her and I appreciate you pointing out the ugly truth. Life is not always a glorious holiday. Safe travels to you 2 this week! Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Sara
Hi Great video as always totally agree with your views Louise fortunately you’re not gonna change things just like that i’m coming up for 61 had a heart attack in the last two years you need to chill life is too short there’s always gonna be ups and downs where ever you travel to You’re doing something I wish I could’ve done 30 years ago but unfortunately my circumstances are totally different good luck keep the good work up and chill
The reason we continue to follow you is you are both brilliant, your content is great,camera and drone work is stunning. But most of all you tell it as it is! Hooray!XX🥰🥰
Cheers Paul
Louise you go girl! You say it like it is. One of the things we like is the truth of the road. People can be disgusting, any where you go. You guys are great! Keep up the good video's. 💕
It seems that more people are acting like that. A week ago I was in a parking lot when a couple who were perfectly healthy, parked blocking a handicapped space and tried to leave their shopping cart blocking two other handicapped spaces. When I asked them not to, she threatened me and called me names. She didn't stop until I got my camera out. And all I said from my handicapped vehicle was really your going to leave that there?
Oh wow 😮
Seen lots of vanlife videos from Sweden - it’s firmly in the top five bucket list spots for me now. Don’t let the fisherman put you in a sulk - there’s a k**b h**d everywhere you go and as far as Sweden goes it’s one in a million.
Totally agree that the cycle must be broken in order to prevent generationally inherited behaviour.
Ahh Johns fries… he did those in his George Foreman which is why they got squished ha ha - yourselves and John and Mandy are my top van lifer TH-camrs y’all produce videos with unquestionably brilliant content, and quality videography.
Given the investment in equipment (cameras, tripods, drones, software, licences etc etc etc there can’t be a very good profit margin and so us as viewers/subscribers get a wonderful deal. So thanks to the four of you (I know John and Mandy will be watching and maybe reading comments too).
Question: have you thought (since Lou is a brill photographer), about a van lifers pet calendar with AJ, Summer, Cooper, Archie etc…
Something most subscribers would enjoy - a great Xmas gift.
Thank you, yeah it’s not the cheapest of hobbies that Lou has but she does love it and that’s the main thing for sure.
Them fries were good, I now fancy some 😆🙈
Yeah we have thought about that to be fair and maybe one we could put a bit more thought into 🤔
Another great video girls and well done for keeping it real and telling it like it is love the IKEA museum x
We love watching you as you are truthful, factual, consistent and adorable 😍 Keep it real and true just like you do 😍
Glad you feel passionate about the environment. There's always the minority that spoil things for others.
Better to tell the truth!!!
Enjoy the rest of your stay. Thank you for sharing. Take care 😚
It's quite hard to work out if it is a minority or not - I don't _see_ people dropping litter very often - but I do see the evidence of it everywhere! Do the minority produce an enormous amount?!
Another cracking video ladies. Don’t ever apologise for caring, there should be more people like you. The drone footage was the best yet. You really have got a eye for detail. When Emily said a voice of a angel, you should have replied “ yeah, hells angel “ 🤣. I love the way you bounce off each other.
Keep doing what you are doing, and keep the fun facts coming.
Stay safe ladies
I have a lovely voice 😆🙈
My youngest daughter (29 yo) absolutely loves to shop through IKEA! She would be in heaven at that museum! Environmental concerns are well placed and should be consistently spoken about. Thanks.
Thank you for your comments on littering & unsocial behavior. Thanks for caring.
Can't believe IKEA has a museum! Adding it to my 'must visit' list haha. Please stop at the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmo on your way home; seeing Emily eat a load of weird stuff would be hilarious. Love you both x
I know right
Never heard of that, ms B, but i reckon there might be a certain "marine dish" that you have/dare not sample ?
Sorry there were rude ppl that ruined the stay. Totally understandable how frustrating that is! It was so fun seeing you enjoy the IKEA museum. Love seeing your travels ❤
I appreciate the honesty in your videos as well as the beautiful views, humor, and knowledge always shared. Didn’t know IKEA now has plant based meatballs so that’s awesome as I always felt left out when we went before. Thanks for taking us with you on your travels, we really look forward to your videos! 💟
I appreciate your honesty, never let anyone/anything sway you from your beliefs!
Oh yeah and they were nice as well
Hi guys, am a recent follower but I'm absolutely loving your vlog. The quality of filming is really excellent and I love the combination of walks/kayaks, animals, nature and who doesn't love a drone?! I've just watched your Bear Lock episode and will be getting one of those too, so thanks for that info. I have a tip for dog and ticks (that's easy in the van) - I haven't googled whether it's OK with cats though, so double check that if you're thinking of using it on Summer. I use natural solutions for my dog wherever I can and basically I mix a cup of water, a cup of apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of lavender oil along with 5 drops of rose geranium oil into a small plant spray bottle, shake it and then spray Lupa with a few sprays all around her body, before I go for a walk, mostly just during tick season. I make sure to keep it out of her eyes, and instead just spray some on my hands to apply it around her head. Also a few drops of the rose geranium oil (it has to be the rose version apparently) on the collar is a good deterant too. I had a real problem with ticks on my german shepherd when I was in deer country in my van in early July but since I've been using that combination of oil on the collar every week or so, and the spray, we've not had a single tick. Hope that helps. Keep doing what you're doing, it's fab to share your journey👏
Oh added benefit, Lupa smells like turkish delight 😃
I will try that, currently they are covered by the drops and by a collar but it does not stop them simply getting on him, I think it doesn’t help that I can see them straight away, lou says I don’t give the stuff we are using chance as I’m like “what is that dot, AJ stop” 😆 I also find making him stop during our walks is good for him as well with training so not a bad thing I suppose
@@campervibe perhaps this is why the ones you found wern't latched on. Like flea drops, it doesnt always stop them jumping on, but it certainly stops them from latching on. For me, rubbing all over my doggos fur meant they didnt even attempt to come near her. I can certainly attest to some positive results of this mix, and I've been using it for a few years now. Now all I need to find is a cow pat repellant...she loves those 🤢
Agree with you Louise I can't stand the litterers either. they want to use the nice areas but let someone else clear up behind them. Save the planet and wildlife. Great video
In the States, Ikea furniture requires a Posidrive screwdriver set. Most Americans have never heard of it, or own it. And the Ikea store and catalogue don't mention them, so it is off to the hardware store or Amazon to get them.
I love how you both give all the true facts, totally love all your video’s Thank you ❤️
You are so right about how we influence younger generations. A child is born with no prejudices, no bad habits and no hate.
Exactly right
Honestly love you guys! Have been on a tiny hiatus travelling about where I am bit have caught up now and absolutely loved all of it !!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ you guys are so awesome and I’m so looking forward to catching up to date again 🙌🏽❤️❤️
Glad you are enjoying the vids and coming along with us 😀😀
You are braver than me I do not think I would have stayed for fear if those fishermen coming back in the night Also that car left there would have freaked me out!! I would have been out of there!!
Sat down to watch with my salad and hallumi wraps. Needed a dose of my fav ladies today as always you both put a smile on my face. Xxx
Love hallumi wraps 😀
Lu you do a great job of staying real about the environment, please never stop. Also, you young whipper snapper going on about the 70's and 80's: the mullet is coming back. That is a generational gift for you. Thanks ya'll great video.
Oh don’t worry I went through that generational gift already as a teenager 😆😆
I’ve lived here now in Sweden for 18 years and I’ve never seen a Swede smoke while fishing , and at a guesstimate I would say the men were from Eastern Europe .
Why eastern Europeans? I'm scandinavian, and the sad fact is that while the majority of us behaves respectful towards our nature when using it, there is a good number that don't care at all. Especially the younger generations out partying can behave with total disrespect to both other people and the nature they are out there to supposedly enjoy. It's a terrible attitude that must be related to how decadent and spoiled our society has become.
Smoking is rare in Sweden but they have a shirt with a local sport fishing clubs name on it. There are bad apples everywhere.
"Cigarettes = Eastern europe".. Nice deduction, Holmes.. If it was cigars it would be norwegians. You know ; Oil money 😂
Exactly what I thought
Most smokers, no matter nationality are not the most conciderate people, either they are just trying to be cool or they are just jerks that also have an alcoholadiction. As adictions are very selfish and egocentric condictions, and the fishing they did was probably poachfishing, without any legal permits
The way I see it, it's your vlog, so you should talk about what you want, be that litter, Ikea museums or snack cupboards. If someone doesn't want to listen to a 'rant' (and I wouldn't call *that* a rant!) about litter then they don't have to watch. You are just being your honest selves, talking about what you care about, and that's why I (and I suspect many others) keep coming back to watch you all.
😀😀🙌🙌
I appreciate you giving us the truth as it comes. I hate garbage and rude/gross people. They unfortunately exist everywhere. I hike around 🇨🇦Vancouver daily and while it’s a very clean city I have taken to carrying plastic bags with me so I pick up trash here and there (mostly masks dropped inadvertently). The good news the numbers I come across have diminished greatly. It’s so nice being in 🇨🇦 where there’s a lot less litter than 🇺🇸..Anyway, drive safe! 😉
That is good news 🙌
I love that you care so much. You keep being you. It's why we're still watching.
Another great video. Loved the IKEA museum, we actually live only 5 miles from the very first UK store. On littering I was horrified when looking at another You Tuber travelling in a van. She filmed herself picking up litter on one of the Outer Hebrides. She said she hesitated to put that footage up because she had received "a lot of hate" when she showed herself litter picking on Instagram. Took me some time to process that - hate for picking up litter!
That is stupid, why are people hating on being clean 🤷🏻♀️😫
That is just so wrong Peter. She should be getting praised for it not hated on. I'll always sing the praises of folks that are trying to make the world less litter filled.
@@daveturnbull7221 absolutely.
@@campervibe it's mind boggling. These people are amongst us. I was quite shocked and my faith in human nature is not that high.
First of all, it have been fun to follow you two around in Norway and now Sweden. What you experience with the fishermen is not normal in the Nordic countrys. As i know there is no reason for trowing dead fish out in the lake after fishing it. Here in Norway that is illegal and you have to pay a big fee for doing that. The same if you are on a fishing boat. So why this two trow the fish back in the water i dont know. The fish they caught was Perca (Perch) or Abbor like we call it in Norway and are a very good fish to eat. In some lakes it be to many of them and in this lakes you should not put fish you dont want to eat back in the water again. But you never allowed to kill them and trow them out in the lake again. In the Nordic countrys we have some problems with people from east Europe that come her looking for work and live from 2 to 4 people in the cars around in places like this you was camping on with the fisher men. Sometimes it can be up to 10-20 cars ib some places. This people often fish for food, go to toilet around the place, trow cigarettes and garbage all over the place. Police have to come some times to tell them to leave the place so other also can use the place but also because they destroy the place. It is not fun when you come to a place with peoples like this because it look like they don't seem to care if they pollute nature or consider others. Do you notice if this fisher men was Nordic people or from another country? I had guess that this was East Europeans peoples.
It’s such a shame sometimes but we still love the place and can’t wait to come back next year 😀
Another lovely vlog, ladies., thank you. Two things I'd like to mention. Is Emily going to join that secret society off the Da Vinci Code, the halloumi-nati? Secondly regarding the foraging, every type of mushroom is edible...but some only once...
I can’t say it’s a secret 🤫
lol
Late comment, but I like someone else pointed out I’ve never seen a Swede smoking & fishing. They may use snuff but not cigarettes. Pro fishers wouldn’t throw dead fish back either I think. There are lots of people in Sweden missbehaving and being idiots out in nature, unfortunately, but the fishers in your video were most likely not Swedes by the look of them.
Thanks for all your lovely videos! I’ve gone back to your very first videos and binge watched them lately. Almost up to date now. 😁💕
Another really interesting and engaging vlog. I love the filming, the interaction between you two, and the fun facts that you share each week. Also, it's so refreshing to see it how it is, rather than through rose tinted glasses. There are always a few people who will spoil it for everyone else and your honest reporting was spot on, and it would be good if those people could actually hear what you had to say. Thank you for sharing and being such a great channel.
We always like to try and show what we see so to speak, we all strive for the perfect spot coz why not but sometimes it’s a lot less than perfect 😫😆🙈
I love how real you both are. Keep it like that. I would be ranting about it to. I still want to visit all these places. Looks amazing. You make me feel brave enough that i could, even though i have never driven abroad before.
Love Donna
I hope those filthy pricks are found & dealt with - they're just disgusting!!! 🤮 Love the content, watch out for the heat & ticks....
🙌🙌
That most annoying thing are the leftover filters, they won't degrade at all, if just more people would roll their cigs from just paper and tobacco, that leftovers would be gone in three times of rain...
Nice museum, did they mention in there that they have produced many stuff in east german prisons in the 70s and 80s?
Thx for showing all sides of travelling, not just the glamour stuff!
Safe travels into the heatwave, hope all of you getting through it!
Thx for the vid, brilliant as always...
👍👍👍
Yeah takes so long to degrade for sure
Personally I like the truth and being honest Lou, so keep up the good work! Loved the Ikea museum & fun facts Emily, great vid! 😁
😀😀
Well done ladies speaking out regards the scummy behaviour shown toward local nature and the environment I wish these people could be held accountable.Keep up the good work
Totally agree with you Lou. Frequently take my 5yr old granddaughter on beach cleans so she will grow up to care about the environment.
Aw that’s amazing 😀🙌
Sweden so beautiful, love the filming but just pure honestly in all your films . One of the best channels to watch and dream about all the places you been too . Nice one both take care 👍
Oh I love watching you two. Tell as it is Louise. Always a small minority that spoils it for everyone else. Great content.
Another excellent video 👍🏼👏🏼 How sad you feel the need to apologise for telling how it is! Sign of the times!🤔🙁
Sounds like they may of been visitors to Sweden, just doing what they do in their own country.
We have all seen this behaviour by visitors
Nope they weren't visitors, already been discussed in the comments, they were wearing local fishing club shirts.
I'm with you %100 on litter , I can't stand it and I don't blame you at all for complaining about it.Thank you for your amazing videos.xx💕
Happy to hear your idyllic Swedish expectations (mostly) came true! ;) I don't think the fishermen were Swedish. Never seen any friends or relatives smoke while fishing ever. They might grab a beer, but not a cigarette. Unfortunately it's not uncommon to find empty cans around campsites, but most Swedes use snuff for tobacco nowadays.
I was just going to say that.
I have friends who own a summerhouse in Denmark and they, unfortunately, know when some of the guests have been Eastern European and, occasionally, German, by the state they leave the grounds in with rubbish everywhere, as well as not removing their trash from the house as they leave etc
Sad
Yeah this is what we thought as well re the smoking and stuff
@@campervibe Cocktail sausages for tea after what you saw? 😳
They had shirt from a local sport fishing club Gullringens SFK.
@@KristoferOlsson well, we have our fair share of idiots I suppose
Hi ladies, i just wanted to say a couple things, without your guide on building your van we would not have been able to get ours built. I personally think your build series was the easiest to follow and most comprehensive series avaliable to new builders on TH-cam. You made everything super easy to understand and basically ensured our build was done to a professional standard because of your commitment to making high quality videos. Thank you so much for your hard work becasue you made a dream of ours come true.
I wanted to ask where you got your single passenger seat for your van ? Ive been on the lookout for a single passengers captain seat for a while and cant seem to find them, did you retrofit a drivers seat or use a specific website to find one?
Love your videos, keep up the hard work !
Wow, what an accolade!
Hi ya, glad it’s been easy to follow 🙌 we found it on eBay or gum tree after a few weeks of looking so not a shop I’m afraid
Hey girls!
Many thanks for another superb vlog. It was an abrupt slap in the face when I saw how these gentlemen behaved. Really embarrassing I have to say and it's not how we Swedes are brought up. We learn from early age not to litter. To respect and handle nature with care but unfortunately there's some bad eggs everywhere.
I've contacted the association and explained that these kind of behavior is not compatible with fishing and nature conservation.
They should know better than this. They know better then this.
Thank you for lettings us see the reality.
Update:
One of the men on the video got back to me after I sent an e-mail to the association. According to him the numbers of dead fish and cigarette butts which was thrown in the water where much less than assertion but still bad enough. The lack of understanding was obvious but I'll give him credit for giving me a call and face my criticism.
And yes. They are Swedes. Nothing ells.
Oh wow that’s interesting to know that they got back to you which yeah totally give them credit for and of course they will say it was not as bad but the whole family were there at one point smoking and throwing the butt in the water 🙈 but still hopefully they may think twice 🤔
One of my favorite things to forage on my backpacking trips in the mountains up north (here in the States)…wild blackberries and blueberries! Some days I only manage 15 miles cause I’ve spent so long faffin’ round in the bushes. (faffin! I’m learning British!!!)
Love the environment rants and long may they continue. As soon as we stop commenting on these disgusting people, they will have won. The guy who exposed himself to Emily deserves to be in jail. If you have any footage of them , send it to the police. Did you get their rego number?
On the plus side loved the vlog and the endless banter, makes my day. Cheers girls.
Yeah was not nice at all and so true we should keep talking about it you’re right 🙌
Put in jail for going to the toilet? Get a grip man!

mate, regardless of how harmless YOU think it is, indecent exposure is a public order offense
Well ranted Lou and I agree, Emily Wim Hoff would be proud😂😂Can't believe you have been away for nearly 3 months. Cheers K.
I know it’s gone way too quick
The blue berries was not what we call blueberries or what is know as bilberrys in english. it was Odon berries. Its no problem with eating them they can be little bit watery and bitter compared to our Bilberrys. (blåbär) if you are senstive to them you can get little bit stomach ache if you eat loads and loads of them.
It can be tricky to see at start because they can live at the same place. But they are normaly on a higher bush then Bilberrys. both the plant and the berry has a different color. The Odon is more light blue on the outside. They also has little bit different shape.
Another blue berry that can live at the same place is Crowberrys. They are very dark blue growing very close to the ground. smaller and harder. You can eat them but they dont taste that much and can be bitter and sour. Back in the days some used them in jams.
Lingonberrys should be picked when they are bright red, They dont taste that good to eat raw can be very tart. but you make tasty jam or drinks of them. Rårörda lingon is something many swedes love to their meat. You should try it. its not as sweat.
Thanks 👌👌
I was brought up not to drop litter anywhere. We always take our litter home with us. So sad to see litter lying around everywhere. Just love IKEA it's my fav shop. Just like Emily I would've bought all the snacks too. 👍😊
Hey love your attitude Lou, keep being honest and show the truth! I would've been tempted to have a go at them! 🤯🤯
A tip for the ticks If u are coming again, there is a medicine you could give your dog that makes the ticks instantly die the second they bite, so u never have to check for them. The medicine lasts for like 3 months and is safe.
They are covered with that and a collar as well 🙌🙌🙌
I don't know about Sweden, but in Norway there is a quota of how many fish each licensed fisher ( you must buy a fishing license for a specific area to be allowed to fish there, and the quota is specified depending on that area as well) may fish per day - though this might also be averaged out, not sure. I know of a fisher who got his entire quota for the season in a few weeks and left to do other stuff this summer, lol
Brilliant video again Lady’s really enjoyed it thanks for sharing xx👍
Oh my what a fun video… and the most important thing you girls do is make me smile. Be good and take care 😘
I love that your vlogs are so real. Don't ever change!
Lovely video guys.
Louise you do right to tell us about what you actually saw with the fishermen, what is the point of showing and telling us the good things, when not so nice things happen, i couldn't belive what they did, not nice for the pair of you.
Thanks again for taking us with you.
Enjoy your week guys
Sadly the litterbugs you saw belongs to a Sports Fishing Club , according to the emblem on the back of his jacket…
One would think that they would know how to care about the environment , nature and ethics of wildlife values, but obviously not. Thanks for caring and for a great episode again 🙏🏾😊
Such a shame
once again a great video thank you. as for the honesty..ah hello! even better! Your channel your choice..you do you Lou! xx
I agree with you on the terrible way those guys behaved. You did the right thing, filiming and telling us about it. All too often folks let this type of behaviour pass. Good for you!
don't feel bad about speaking up about litter !! nature needs to be preserved and you're bringing awareness to that. the practice of LEAVE NO TRACE is so important!!
Loving your adventure, as always! Hey, tell Lou not to give a toss about anyone complaining about this or that - just keep to your own true selves because that's what I love about ya guys. Safe journey, gals! :)
Cheers, we will 😀
Nice vlog guys. We are with you. We hate merchant bankers like that. We would have pushed them in. 🤣 Emily, you should have commented about how small it was. 🥕
😂😂
The image with the lake that was mirror-still reflecting the clouds was epic! Cannot believe the a-holes that killed fish unnecessarily, pee’d in the lake & threw their cigarette buds in too! I was thinking they must have been on drugs or something… that’s really bizarre and violent behaviour… I don’t think ‘violent’ is too strong a word based on what they did. I totally understand how you felt, as I always get depressed when I see things like this, but I’d rather hear the good, bad, and ugly of your adventures. The ticks… we have the same issues here in CA when we go camping with our pooches: Chewy (wheaten terrier/like Chewbacca in Star Wars) & Chloe (Boston Terrier, with Vader’s personality… she falls into the dark side when she sees other dogs… LOL). Anyway, ticks are the one creature on the planet that scare me more than any other (except humans) … infinitely worse than mosquitoes in my opinion. Hugs! X
Yeah humans are the worst ones for sure!
Who knew there was an IKEA museum ?! Great video showcasing how beautiful Sweden is. Shame about the fisherman, but hey, that they were one example of the unpleasant side and highlighted because such bad behaviour was so unusual x
I know, I loved going there 😆
Now that Scandinavia is in your rear view mirror, I know you'll be back because it's so obvious that it was the place of your hearts' desire. I really enjoyed traveling with you two lovelies through Norway and Sweden and your videos were both hilarious and beautiful. (My neighbors spent a month in Norway in June....camped in the woods....they said there were no mosquitoes...food for thought.) I can't thank you enough for the work you put into your videos....absolutely amazing. xo Suzi
We really loved our travels this time round and definitely will be ack
Been spending the day binge watching your channel just brilliant content because you two are straight up about your experiences ! As someone looking seriously at getting out there this is content is wonderfully realistic and thoroughly enjoyable too! Even my cat Jemimapuddleduck is watching too. There’s always those peeps who go about their day lacking in situational and self awareness. Thank you for being both and conscious travellers too. Love fried up squeaky cheese yum yum! Who knew there was a IKEA museum?? Here’s to enjoying seeing more of travels - keep it up and be safe from NZ 🇳🇿
Oh my god I love the name of your cat, so awesome
Nice vlog👍. It looks like the berries you picked were blockberry and not blueberry. Blockberries are white inside and similar to the blueberries you can buy in the shop. Those are garden blueberries which is also white inside. Real wild blueberries are red/blue inside and more tastier. It looked like there where many blueberry bushes around you where you picked. Those bushes are smaller and with greener leaves.🙂
😀😀
Thanks again for a magic vlog, and we love that you guys speak the truth!! Beautiful photography and terrific fun facts again!!! Well done to you both. 🤗🤗
