About the Swedish moose hunt
I talk about my first moose hunt after having lived in Sweden for almost 1,5 years. I've gotten my license and joined the local hunting team and after having gone hunting together for 8 days, I wanted to share what it was like. I might update you after the moose hunt is wrapped up, depending on if that seems interesting.

    I strongly recommend you hire someone to plow the driveway (with tractor). Only costs say 5000-7000 SEK per year usually and it saves you so much time if you have a very large driveway like yours. Also, for carrying wood I recommend using "banankartonger" (banana boxes) which you can get for free at your local grocery store. Fill them up with wood outside, take them inside and stack a couple of boxes beside the fireplace/stove. You don't need to dry them more than they are already dried.

      ^ Before some English speakers wonder as the translation of "Skitjakt" (Shitty hunting) can be confusing: It's said to bring bad luck to wish someone success/good luck for hunting (fishing also) - so people wish each other "failure" instead, which is said to bring luck. It's basically a saying like the German "Waidmanns Heil".

    Hello. First, welcome to Sweden. Thank you for an interesting post, as born in Sweden but with a background of having traveled a lot, I can share your interest in other cultures and through that I have learned how comfortable life in Sweden can be if you make the bed well. I am keeping this in English as that is the language you use in your posts. If your partner works from home, you can deduct it from the annual tax! Calculate what the m2 price is for the house, not the plot, multiply it by the area that your partner uses as a workspace and you get what you have to write as a tax deduction. As for your address, well it took 10 seconds for me to find your address, both phone numbers, living space, etc. What you have to remember when you move to Sweden is that ALL of this information is public. I don't want to go into it more for your sake but think about it, protect your real name from public platforms like YT if you are a public figure which you indirectly are through this channel! This applies throughout Scandinavia, so be careful, there are sharks in even the shallowest waters so just be a bit careful dude <3

    Almost no jobs I've had had fixed hours as to when to arrive and leave, in theory I was supposed to arrive between 7-9 and work till 15-18, or something like that, but in practice I could come in at noon and work to midnight, or come in at 4 and leave at noon. That was in IT and very independent work, it doesn't really matter what time of day you hack a bug away, as long as you get it done. I don't even remember when I last had to make a phone call, probably in the late 90ies, it's been all online for quite a while. This could very well be different if you don't have a personnummer and bank ID (or whatever the bank used for verification of identity previous to bank ID). A thing I think you missed in shooting tests is to be able to see if an animal is close enough to be shot at, ie a hare must be max 50 m away from you.

      Freedom and integrity are things that seem like something from outer space for most "fellow" Swedes. Same with that gun license nonsense: through most of Sweden's history gun laws didn't exist at all. To buy a gun you simply went to a gun store, a hardware store or a pawnbroker's and bought any gun you wanted. You could carry it anywhere as well. In 1934 gun licenses were introduced with the specific purpose to make it harder for socialists (REAL socialists, not the typical NPCs believing in social democracy) to buy guns the legal way. And people just accepted it. They also accepted every NEW infringement almost every 10th year from then. So it went from free guns for more than 500 years to draconic gun laws within just the last 90 years. Swedish conformism and worship of authority in a nutshell.
