This my favourite YT channel! Both hosts are intelligent, well spoken and present equally to the content and artistic execution of the videos. Kika is the epitome of the modern woman! Confident, capable, enthusiastic and adventurous. The world needs people like you!
Oh yes ! In these times of me, me, me young ones and careless milleniums😝, Kika and Daniel are a breeze of fresh air.
So talented, imginative and focused, they are a joy to watch. Their parents have all the rights to be proud of their beautiful kids.👌
No couch but no slouch either ! ❤️
Very well said & the cinematography & editing just keeps getting better and better!
Another one of your excellent videos. You are both talented producers and editors.
@@marcryvon Why do you put down Millennials? (by the way you didn't even spell it right) Why do you judge them as lazy and no good? I am 56 years old and I raised two of them. One will in a short time be designing your next cpu for you computer or some other replacement that is way better, and the other one is a blink of an eye away from being the director of her company. What? Are you afraid of them? I have yet to meet any millennials that are lazy, I have met a bunch of them that refuse to go into debt to live the way their parents do, which is only a month or two from destruction with no savings. Most millennials would rather live in a van in the parking lot of their job than to pay rent to a landlord that refuses to fix anything. They also don't believe in going into debt, so they will live with mom and dad and save to build a small house, and I mean a very small house! They think differently than you do, but that doesn't make them wrong it just makes them in so many ways smarter than you are, because they will get to 50 years old and have no debt and have still traveled the world. They are more into the experience and the adventure than they are into the stuff. This next generation has a lot to teach it's older generations, and yet my generation sounds just like my grandparents generation who thought my generation was just a bunch of loser's. My grandfather didn't understand why I didn't value marriage and was such a free spirit. Didn't understand, why I would go to an expensive fine arts college instead of just get my MRS. Now in my 50's I wish I had listened to my heart and not gotten married, had my kids with a sperm donor and raised them on my own, and lived life my way. I raised my kids to always question authority and to always challenge it! I am extremely proud of my kids, my only regret is that I married their father.
Agreed. I so enjoy your intellect, capabilities and sense of adventure! Well done 👍❤️👌👏!
I am just continuously blown away by the quality of your films. They are not videos but rather short films. Inspired for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Perfectly said
no, they are short videos
really good editing
Just remember when your feet are sore from the hike you two are doing better than those that did not take your advice and bought a couch 😎👍
We can now see why Slartibartfast was particularly proud of Norway. So, so pretty.
Ten points for the HHGTTG reference! ;-)))
He did a fine job.
He got an award for his Fjords there
... all those lovely fiddly bits.
He definitely earned that reward
I just want you to know that i really appreciate all the hard work going back for the camera.
Your editing and camera work are always getting better and better, amazing work.
Scrolling through the comments and I thought you were me for a second 😅 love your name!
flattery will get you nowhere
@@douglasdaniels1521 not with that attitude, that for sure.
In all my travels I am ever reminded what a beautiful world we live on. Lets not spoil it...
Yeah, but "society" brings it all down. Let's spoil that...
An No so negative 🙁
Unfortunately we have, and will pay for the consequences...
No doubt. This is such a beautiful spot too. Love following their travels.
Prof. M. Otto Zeee JCD ECS ohhh, your certainty just jumps out of my screen and hits me like a .......nothing. Stop that unsubstantiated narrative. The world is getting better and it’s getting better fast! Transform your negativity into action. Make it a self-serving action and the world WILL correct you if you are being unfair to others.
Good NZ morning guys. I loved this clip. It had sailing. It had bushcraft. It had hiking. It had a young couple in love. With each other. With sailing. With hiking. With camping..bushcraft. With freedom. And with L I F E.!!!
I've been subbed with you for quite a while now...and just love how you show each other respect when talking to the camera. You don't interrupt the other, or finish their sentence, or talk over the top. That to me is fantastic. It shows respect for the other person. My love for for your channel and you guys increases with each new video. Would love to be able to meet you personally down here in NZ once our borders are open again. Take care and stay safe my friends.
Sailing, hiking, what's not to like?? I feel the slightest tingle of the onset of an Uma binge...
At about 2:00 , that quiet moment when the spinnaker is up and open, I think that's my very favourite part of sailing.
Me too ! To me, seeing a full spinnacle is the epitome of sailing.
Actually, I just made a screen shot of it and made it my screen background !
Thank you Uma !
Dan and Kika thank you so much for taking all of us along on this journey with you, you guy are the best channel on you tube.
I am super inspired by the Sailing Uma adventures and your positive attitudes! Also, I see a lot of fires in fragile alpine ecosystems and plant life and want to encourage you all and everyone else to learn and practice leave no trace wilderness ethics. No fires above tree line, try and stay off the delicate vegetation, and just be light on that incredible landscape!
The quality of your vids compared to the old days is really impressive. It always was good, but now it's an event. Well done.
Thanks again guys for taking me to a place I would never be able to get to on my own. Beautiful scenery, beautiful people.
"just in time for sunset". ....3 hours later. Love the long summer sunsets here!
Possibly the most fortunate couple on the planet. Great taste in music also.
So much effort to get all those beautiful hiking shots. Thank you!
and the shots really are worth the effort 👍🏼
I have to say I enjoyed this episode immensely. Not just for being one of the top episodes that isn't all about sailing but also the production quality. The use of background music and elevating it in conjunction with what is happening on the screen is a tool that is rarely found on youtube videos. Like the starting sequence where Dan is stating that he is ready and lets the sails out. All of a sudden we get the background music at the forefront at a faster pace along with a faster pace editing for a few shots and it slows down again and the music dims down back to background.
You are not only progressing as storytellers and sailors. You are progressing as genuine quality content providers in all aspects of the genre.
Great video and can't wait for the second part of the hike. Hopefully you will have enjoyed the sunrise from up there.
I just want to say how amazing the videography and imagery was in this video. I see how much work you two put in -- speeding away in the dingy, but then you must have had to come back for the camera.
I just really appreeciate it and all your hard work.
Thank you for letting us live vicariously.
Love Norway. Love hiking. Love sailing. Love Kika & Dan.
When you said 4 hours to hike 5km i thought to myself, wow are they taking the slow boat? Then I realized how up it was and how often you had to reposition the camera to get those spectacular shots. Thanks guys for carrying all that gear to bring us into the experience.
FYI when you fill a canteen from a stream turn the neck downstream to avoid contaminates.
Doesent help one bit, if the water is contaminated then it is contaminated...but since this is in Norway it's not...
Contaminates not contanimation
It would seem the contaminates to be most worried about would be those on the outside of the canteen. This being a possibility I would keep the filler neck upstream. To each their own I guess..
When the OP says ‘contaminates’ I believe he is talking about sand, sticks, etc, not bacteria, virus or chemical agents.
It also helps keep the water from pulling the bottle out of your hand if the current is stronger than you expect.
-- 9:07 "...the joy of making your own trail" -- that there is the phrase of the day, eh?
"A brain fart moment" is another one I picked up from Kika. I have it in front of me where I write my sometimes not so thought tru things.
We call it "Bush whacking" in the hiking world!
I've watched your videos for years, and the thing I love most is how sweet your relationship with each other is.
I can't understand what kind of person gives this video a thumbs down. It was beautiful and inspirational. thank you.
Maybe they meant dis I like.
Same sort of person who was complaining about Kika's gorgeous topless shots on Instagram. Prudes.
@@nralbers what topless shots?
Some people are just idiots. They dont like it when someone does better than they can do.
My 3 year old grandson loves to give thumbs downs to all my videos, of course my videos aren’t nearly as good as Uma videos
I'm so Jealous right now, Loving it,
That drone shot sailing into the Fjord was just magnificent! Well played
When do we get the story of the 'PRECIOUS' Dan? love to hear it.
The drone footage here was remarkable.
Lovely. It's so nice to be back. I lost track of you guys for over a year. I watched you before bed. Your videos are often so peaceful. Now I have over a years worth of videos to savor. Thank you! I hope you're having fun today.
yo yo yo....... howdy! old guy here that never grew up, just wanted to say....... be thankful for what you guys are doing, very cool folks, you liven the dream!!!! cheers
OMG you two.....I'm seeing this 7 hours after it was posted and already you've got 437 comments. I'm not going to read them all thus I'll assume someone has already said this but in IMHO, this is by far, the best video you've ever done. Excellent shots from the either the drone or the dingy while underway, the scenery, the hiking. commentary, music, everything just blended together magnificently. I'm sure there'll be others who disagree and I dare them to name the step that exceeds what I just watched.Great job. THANK YOU
you guys have a very artistic sense for filming & editing. this is very invigorating. all thumbs very up!!!
use the knife to CUT strips of the magnesium onto the cotton, THEN strike the flint. It will burn amazingly well.
Always love your vids. Hiking takeaways: extra socks in drybag, and bring portable water filtration. No matter how clear water looks, it's not worth the risk when there are great portable solutions.
It just amazes me the shot selection, and editing that you guys put into telling your story. Love it...
Just wanted to say I really liked the short 5:19 to 5:22 sequence of quick edits on beat to the music! On the whole just a great combo of drone, dinghy, and onboard shots on that chill sail. And gorgeous shots of that amazing hike!
You guys are a wonderful team. I literally feel the positive energy from your trip
KIKA....you scared the BA JESUS outta me! You were so close to the edge of the cliff, so glad you didn't stumble! Another awesome video! Can't wait for the next one!! Be careful......Cheers!
We'll, I've binge watched the entire collection of videos and I am convinced we need to sell everything we own and sail away. Wifey is not so convinced. She's a hard sell and wants a house a yard and unfortunately another couch. However if we do things properly in 5 years we may be able to retire early at sea. Love your channel. Thanks for the inspiration.
I had this life-long dream of sailing into a Norwegian fjord with the spinnaker up, ever since I saw the slide show photographs of a school friend who had done that with his parents. And you're doing it (and filming it)! Awesome!
Gorgeous video! LOVE this step. Norway is on the top of my list to visit one day and your video just confirmed it. Breathtaking! Thank you for showing the beauty.
Oh, to be young again! Your hike brings back memories!
Norway when at it's best, beautiful nature. Thanks for capturing it so amazingly well.
Back and forth with the camera. Thanks, it is
appreciated. What a beautiful location & your
video makes it real for us.
Again, thanks - - so much. ✨
Super cool video and totally enjoyed the hiking footage. Almost made me feel like I was right there with you on the trek. Well done Dan & Kika - Cheers!
There are two events I particularly enjoy about your program;-
1. How you repurposed and old duck into a modern looking yacht.
2. How easily you guys get around on the deck, like ducks to water!🙈
Lovely vids so thank you.🤗
One of the most epic videos you have ever done. Stunning!
Yet another awesome video. Thanks for sharing and love the free spirit approach to life.
What an amazing adventure! Loved every minute, thanks for making and sharing! :)
Love this video!!! You two are such a great pair!!! Thank you for sharing pieces of your life so we can dream/ live through you two! ♡ Always sending love
10:15 it's a slow worm - technically it is not a snake but a legless lizard and it's completely harmless.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anguis_fragilis
Congrats to both of you. What a fine production you always make. I found myself asking Kika to not get any closer to the precipice, haha. We care for you!!!
Loved listening to the Patreon podcast this morning then watching this episode this evening. You are wise beyond your years. Thanks for sharing your adventures. We're loving learning about the Norway countryside.
You guys are so spontaneous and live so free, LOVE IT. Norway is beautiful.
Wow! I sure like the improvements you made to your “home”. And I just love that brown throw over dress! It really does something for your figure, and more! Fair winds, safe sailing to you two!
the dress looks a bit like it would serve for a party dress which contrasts with the careful handling of the lines in the same sequence, so a very seasoned sailor she is. The bit i liked was when she was doing her little mermaid pose and she turned the camera on Dan to admire his physique. It was a lovely bit of sailing and such a beautiful hike and camping.
We were cruising Norway last September and it was 27 degrees. One of my favourite places on earth 😍
Beautiful from start to finish, incredible scenery, Norway is breathtaking. Another great ep!
Amazing life you are living. Thank You for sharing it.
The music in this episode was absolutely perfect! What a gorgeous country. I'm glad you did the hike what an experience! But I'm curious if you stayed the night and how difficult was it? 🤗
Sup uma I love sailing and watching you guys is so much fun and inspiration to me my brother has coronavirus and I am I may have it too so hope you guys stay well cheers
Wow that was cool at the waterfall @6:19! Sam Holmes sailing tied his boat up there as well! I like his channel as too!
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. So beautiful there and you two are so natural together. I have often dreamed of sailing to where you are.
I had to pause after 12.40 or so. That yellow flower? That is a "johannesört" in swedish, we flavour our booz with it. Snaps you know, there is even a line in a famous song about it. And if you rub it, it makes you purple. :-D Fun fact!
it’s an anti depressant too 🤓a really good one !
An Australian hearing snakes described as “cute and little”.... I’m screaming 😂😂
That was actually not a snake but a legless lizard. Cute and harmless. But they could have bumped into a Vipera berus or common viper. Seldom lethal, but would definitely ruin their hike if bitten.
Thanks so MUCH for the grand scenery! Fond memories of traveling Norway come sailing back into my best memories! You two make the great videos!
LOVE your journey through Norway, Netherlands and England. It's so new and interesting. Keep up the great videos. You are one of my favorites!
Sun, mountain, fire and perfect filming. What a nice step. Thank you.
Looking forward to see some Orcas and Whales soon.
Fair winds , remember a Norwegian saying , there are no bad weather, just bad clothing.
Stay safe and take your time going north.
Cheers
I think that might be a pan-Nordic saying. I mean, I've heard at least Swedes and Finns claim it as their own.
@@jannepeltonen2036 I bet any country with shifting weather have a saying like that, or they would never get out! It was first in Norway ofc :P
Thank you for your comment. Uma, Dan and Kika are on the north coast of norway now, and i think they understand that saying.
In this perfect step, love filming and all of it, we see them enjoying sun and nice weather in swim wear, this week they need better clothing.
And i know they have all the good clothing they need for a safe journey going north. Looking forward to see more from Uma next week
You got to shave some of the magnesium off on to what your trying to light, the magnesium will light instantly with a spark😊
With right technique that's not needed. A slow but forceful scrape against the rod is enough to throw sparks large enough to light a tinder in -20c.
Bryant, good call and the magnesium will light in the rain!
Love watching you sail and taking us along for the memories. You two are so adorable. Kika love love love your hair. So envious.
Love you guys. Of all the sailing channels, this is my favorite. You are so talented and hardworking, but it's the great spirit you both have and the incredible partnership that impresses me the most. And I so appreciate that you have chosen to live lightly out there.
Watching you standing on the cliff edge can cause a vertigo episode.
Actually, it's not called vertigo (that's dizziness), but yes. My legs wanted to walk away just watching them looking down.
Alright fine , not all paradises are in Grenada 🤣😂 love the story telling and cinematography ❤
Best episode seeing todate, love amazing sunset at the end
Heart-achingly amazing scenery!
What an incredible video thank you! That is my dream. I've wanted to see Norway for so long. I kept putting it off. My grandmother was from there. I feel a calling. I need to make it happen.
Hey guys good to see you 😃. Hope your well and having fun. Now im gonna watch the vid.
I did that same hike last year - you guys were so so lucky with the weather - I can't say the same for myself!
Hope you enjoy your stay in Norway!
Beautiful vid. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Stay safe.
The shot from your drone of Uma sailing through the fjord is incredible. Keep up the great work you two.
It was a slow worm. Harmless. Not a snake but a legless lizard.
It Is a Slow worm and they are becoming rare that one in particular had shed its tail end in defence
I was going to say. It doesn't move like a snake. A snake's body will follow it's head. The lizard kinda flopped as it moved. Really cool though.
Kopparsnok!
Kopparödla in Swedish copperlizard. 🦎
kobberøgle in Norwegian..
The snake was a blindworm
Fantastic trip and love to see how you went through the night.
My favorite sailing couple!! You guys seem like you have such a great relationship where your personalities compliment each other so well. There's such an apparent sense of mutual respect, commitment, and care. Definitely what you want to have when you're alone in the middle of the vast ocean. And on top of that you're so well versed on what you do and generous in providing all of us with information. Genuine, zero arrogance, warm souls, you two. Hats off to a great, sincere channel.
The world is blessed to have two souls like u two
love watching you guys in MY country. BUT sooo gringe when you make a fire. It is illegal too lite a fire in the wilderness of Norway between april and september. Im like no no no. Hope you enjoy Norway guys :)
Criminals!!!
Eh, it's not that clean cut. You can make a fire "where it obviously can not cause a fire". I think they were well within their rights to make a small fire, and they had water on hand.
Not being Norwegian, we did wonder if it was legal to light a fire as we watched this video. It did look very pristine so we figured no previous fires had been lit in the area.
That view on the mountain is so amazing, you guys inspire me, love it.
Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous scenery, boat, people, hike and finally beautiful music. Thank you for taking the time to capture all those shots, edit and post your videos, I love your content!
Oh to be young again...sigh.
captainandthelady I said the same thing several times watching the video. The good news is that I did enjoy my youth. No regrets.
@16:07 "It's the lock picking lawyer and today, we're gonna take someone's wish away..."
We were thinking the same thing....
LPL how many wishes can I take away in 5 minutes?
Click out of one, two is binding...
always a pleasure watching these, makes me want to go in this very moment
So wonderful to watch you guys experience life together. Thanks for sharing, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏
Kika that blue towel you were holding just got in the way ! Great video guys (apart from the towel) Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
As I am a very lazy person, I am always looking for an easy way out!
Referring to the raising of the anchor. As a project, consider installing a well placed pipe with spray nozzle. A switch that is either Auto or manual. Auto will activate the pump when the raising motor is switched on. This would spray & clean the anchor chain! Brian
Awesome, words can’t express my thanks for your bringing me this adventure. Thanks!
What a beautiful hike. Having a little cabin hidden behind trees... I could live there forever. Less boring than tropical beaches for me.
Spectacular shots! Even though I suspect Norway (like Iceland and New Zealand) is a hard place to take a bad photo:-)! I'm really impressed with the combination of drone, gimbal(?) and other shots all edited together beautifully! Had my heart in my mouth when Dan was starting the Dinghy though - the prop must have been pretty close to those rocks! Good job you were still there! Hiking with wet boots can be a bit miserable glad your feet didn't blister! Fantastic camp site too - intrigued as to what else was in the fire lighting pouch! I remember you being given the knife in a previous step and the advice to keep it and something to start a fire with on you all the time - great to see you following the advice! The roller reefing for the spinnaker looks interesting too - does it roll up again easily? Thanks again for another video that you clearly put so much effort into!
When did u get that sail did I miss that video ?
that was Discovery Channel quality video. Have you considered running small crew video documentary workshops?
Aww thanks for saying that. 😂 No our little boat is way too small for that!
@@SailingUma
You could assemble a lil' armada at some port !
@@SailingUma I know you allready touch the subjekt in other videos, but from time to time a video on Tips & Tricks to make sailing videos would be nice
Omgoodness, my dears!
Such an amazing vlog!
Thank you so much!
Just took me back over 40 years, when I lived my life, BC, (before children!), and visited Norway for the first, and sadly last time, just in this area!
All love and best wishes to you both, Claire Berlin
Love the music selection this week...very fitting for the location!
Girl, you need wool socks!! Preferably handknit! Even wet they never feel cold 👍
Nice episode!
Wool IS amazing!
They were wool. Still don't feel good when wet.
Bring 1 dry pair of wool socks in your daypack.... And bandaids in case you get a blister
Straight Neem Oil for athlete’s foot 🦶 ....... 😉 a must have on board any boat.
@@SailingUma another tip from the Norwegian Army: Bring extra wool socks and plastic bags. change socks then put the plastic bags on before your shoes. even in wet shoes your socks stay dry.
Water from stream gave me Giardia(sp) once... Be careful
you need be much souther than norway for stuff like that
Love the quality of the filming and editing. Makes for a impressive short story each video.
Georgous picture thank you for sharing and love the story with in
