The fire side chats have always been a pleasure, Bjorn. I think the ones that respect your wisdom also appreciate the talks.
A mini series about what it means to be a man for a Norseman ? HELL YEAH . I love the area you are in .
The woods is where mankind belongs, not the urban jungle
Back to the village life
I’ve never lived inside of a big city. I like my small town. But, I’d like it more if I could own some land that’s close to the town but not too close. If I need to get into town to get groceries or something but far enough away to let my children play outside without fear of them being hit by cars or being kidnapped by the local sex offenders.
Dear friends, thanks for all your emails! I have done my best to reply to them, but because of limited spare time I have had to close it for now. Feel free to participate in the comments section on my videos! As mentioned before, and this goes for all emails you sent me: Even though I don’t have an active practice anymore, my code of ethics still apply.
Question: Do you know if the majority of the population of Norway know how to speak english?
@@tatyanasalarolli1940 Yes, most Norwegians understand and can talk english :)
I think your fireside chat idea sounds really interesting.
Fire side chats needs to happen.
I think you are a Viking from yesteryear. You came back to our time and you are trying to fit in to our time.
I'm a long way from a young man Bjorn but I believe your videos help all ages of people. You have inspired me to build a shelter in my woods if nothing more than to make my coffee by a small fire or just listen to the sounds of the woods and the quiet. I do go into the woods, away from my house which is in the woods but where I can see only Nature. I need to rebuild my sweat lodge and there has been one here over 25 years. The next lodge I want to build of stones from this land. This path of ground I am steward of is part of hundreds of acres with a beautiful creek with small water falls, lots of aquatic life and trout. There are deer, foxes, coyotes, Racoons, opossums and skunks. Even some minks and muskrats along the creek. There are large rocks as well and many small ones. It is hilly so so,e lovely contours and in winter, you can see far in the woods. So you have inspired me and I am planning a small lean to or a small structure made from this land with the many downed limbs and branches. Just a place to sit in the quiet and be part of the land in Peace. I do Love your videos and Thank You once again for them. We are truly a Human Family of Earth. Love, Light, Peace and good fires! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
These videos give me peace. Thanks for making them.
I'm an old man (62). You make me feel at peace.. I was raised by a mean abusive man and have been angry most my life.. Thank you Bull
Hello Bjorn. I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. They are very enjoyable, and I enjoy your calm manner, and appreciation for the outdoors. A lot the bushcraft community on UA-cam is participating in a challenge started by Haze Outdoors called "Show us your steak". The focus is to get outside, get yourself a nice steak, cook it over an open fire, and speak of any experience you or ones close to you who have suffered from men's mental health issues, and to share advice and resources available for those struggling with mental health issues. Helping bring awareness to men's mental health, and lending some helpful words is a great way to let other men watching know, that they are not alone, and people do care. Sometimes men have a hard time speaking or their feelings, or depression. Unfortunately this time of year sees a lot of mental health worsen, and the stress is too much to bare for some men. You and others like you are a great mental retreat for some, even for just a little while during a break at work, and a wonderful platform to reach out to others upon. I encourage you, if you wish, to have a little fire, cook a steak, and share some warm words that may help another. Thank you for all you do, and for all that you're unaware you do. Also. Yes that is an amazing spot. I bet that rock once warmed by the fire, would be very comfortable to sleep on. Thank you again Bjorn.
It's so good that the kids are able to spend school time outside in the woods. There is so much for them to learn and discover out there. Plus after spending time outside like that, they will be tired. I'm sure the parents appreciate that.
There is no better connection than in the wilds ...it's our natural environment. Great channel.
do the mini series for sure. I grew up in the woods and moved into a city after i turned 18 for a university education. I go out into the woods and mountains weekly to balance the city life or i get tired out quickly. Many people don't ever go into nature anymore and i think it would benefit everyone if people were able to spend more time in nature and to respect it for the experiences nature can offer.
That tarp matches your local rock formations beautifully!
I enjoy listening to your videos while I work. You are a very relaxing speaker.
The sound of rain on your tarp, and the crackle of a robust campfire. Best therapy ever. I say do a few videos about the Norse way of life and men's health. Certainly we all could use some reminders that our modern society is grossly out of touch with reality and a bit of time in the woods is certainly one kind of cure. I always tell people that I find solace and healing on the trail, hiking, and also when I'm out in the woods sitting still and just... listening to the rain, and the crackle of my fire.
Please keep this going I need it. I turned 30 and the norse way of life started to pull me. I love everuthing you do. You are klok gubbe to me. You were my introduction to the norse way of life. Without this channel I would be lost
I think a series of videos would be a good idea, it could help not just the young men/women, but also us older ones as well.
A focus on living in such a way that you are SATISFIED with how you are living and congruent with what you say you value should be our focus
The mini series sounds like a good idea :)
Beautiful kuksa! I love your videos. Thanks! From California.
I'd watch your mini series. I definitely think that talking about the northern/Viking way of living -- as you put it -- is a great way to help young men like myself discover spiritual awakening and self awareness.
I personally would very much enjoy a series based on the Nordic way of life and the ancient ideals of our predecessors. Your delivery is great and your videos can be cathartic. Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos for our enjoyment.
Beautiful Video my friend! The importance of the simple things of life, and connection with mother nature.
Such a awesome place to hail the Vanir, great video broter. Skål!
Loved this: the dead-air moments speak almost as loudly as the vocal content. The total lack of agenda other than need to establish life-supporting basics - warmth, shelter, food - at own pace instantly invoke a sense of well-being and calm. You may not know it but you're a natural in front of camera and true inspiration. Thank you and please, keep them coming.
I saw you in my suggestions once last month, and I haven't looked back. I immediately saved the series you've done so much of (thanks to all those to told you to do it a year ago), and subscribed. This is how I end my days now, by watching one of your fireside conversations. Ironically there's not much that goes on visually with you sitting in the same place in what's basically a set, but the sight of a campfire and someone speaking draws me in. I've never had a good male role model in my life, but I'll sit down for 10-20 odd minutes and try heeding every word. It's like a fatherly conversation. That might sound odd to describe it as such, but there's certainly a part of society that's lacking that sort of masculine order to set our lives right- and many of us seeking it out consciously or not. Thank you, for speaking up, and sharing your way of life. You are an inspiration.
Fireside chats excellent idea. Love the scenery. Relaxing.
Been watching you for a year. Just found this older gem. Thanks
That is great that the school lets the children come out in the woods to pay. I just found your channel yesterday Bjorn. I love this men's mental health play list. It resonates with me.
thank you Sir, for sharing with us; enjoy your chats greatly.. Blessings, Pevely Missouri USA...
It's amazing how similar the woods are here in Ulster County, NY to you woods. Thank you for the inspiration and the real speak.
That knife, your favorite Bjorn is a beautiful piece of art, ancient art at that. The ancient wood handle makes it very specials with frequencies of the past still in use. I make Native type flutes and often use old wood. I made a number of them with some white pine that was cut into boards back in the 1700s. The sound is mellow and special. That tree was hundreds of years old when cut into boards so that ancient tree still has a voice. Just like your knife handle, still has a voice. And what you say about civilization, too civilized indeed. So civilized that it has cut itself off from Nature and they forgot that they are Nature. When you don't or can't get into natural places, you loose an important part of yourself. And as far as what type of videos you do? I like all of them, no matter what you chose to video I like them all. I Thank You Very Much! Just watching is connecting to Nature. As soon as I can I am building a small shelter with a fire circle so I can go out and have my coffee and just take everything in. A Very Happy New Year to You and your Family with Love, Light and Peace! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
As a therapist Bjorn you'll understand the importance of varying frequencies have upon psychological wellbeing.
You're good at talking to people and these talks by the fire will be good for anyone whom takes the time to watch, listen and interact in the comments with their thoughts.
Thank you for your time and videos.
Sharing ancient knowledge is precious i think!
Go for the mini series please!
....thnx for sharing.
All the best from Berlin/Germany.
Respect From Birmingham England Brother
I like your new campsite Bjørn! Beautiful area. I think that you have some incredible insights to life and pure living, and that there are many who can benefit from hearing it. I think a video could be good, but not sure you need a dedicated series. Just speak the truths you feel, and we will join you. Thanks for all you do and showing us your adventures!
The Fireside chat is a wonderful idea Bjorn,your videos always relax me.I think men in general tend to bottle things up & not talk about there problems,i go the forest with my dog & bow just to escape.I suffer anxiety & its no fun alone,guys must talk about it,so thank you my friend !
2018 this video was made,it is now 2019 and I can't get enough of your video's. I love your honesty and watching how you place the rocks and use your tools and taking down a spruse with that small axe.I just love these video's. I love your accent.
One of my favorite sounds or rather one of the most soothing sounds to me is the sound of rain on my tarps or on a tin roof/ corrugated metal roof. I feel as you do when out in the wilderness. As I grow older, I find myself out there more and more.
Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen you have helped many find something more than the civilized world can offer them, the disconnect between man and nature has never been wider but many are flocking back to their roots and back to their calling.
I think your fireside chat idea is brilliant and I would love to listen to you more. Thank you for making this suggestion.
Every time I watch you make a fire, I’m thoroughly impressed.
The mini series would be a great idea for all those young people out here trying to learn the old Norse ways
And good for us greybeards, too!
I LOVE the idea of a "fireside chat/men's mental health" discussions. I have always found your videos compelling and soothing for me because of the topics and yourself. To be honest, I listen/watch your videos while I am at my (sometimes "toxic") workplace. They have been therapeutic for me. What a great area for you to film from. It is like you are speaking atop of an ancient obelisk! :) Thanks for your videos, Bjorn!
How about 2 channels? Thank you for everything!! Keep true my friend!
Having built so many fires myself, its funny Bjorn how when the smoke is in your face as soon as you move so does the smoke. Oh the campsite is brilliant that granit rock face makes the perfect heat reflection back into you.
half in the moustache, half in the tummy, lol. I know what it is like, I have a full moustache too, lol. What a great campsite, made just perfect by the glacier all those thousands of years ago. Thank you for sharing your time in the woods with us. I reckon the further we get from nature, and the more "civilised" we become, that our experiences, our lives, our connections with others, and our very souls become greatly diminished. The world needs as many fireside chats as it can get! Please consider doing the mini series.
Great looking campsite. As someone who has dealt with mental issues because of sexual abuse I find great comfort in spending time in the bush even for a couple of hours. I’m 68 and am still haunted by what I’ve been through. The outdoors is so calming. Thanx for your thoughts
On my internship in Sweden I managed to get a week of, to visit Oslo. Of course I also visited beautiful forests nearby.
These videos remind me of that awesome experience
No forest can compare to the beautyfull forests of scandinavia
Just found your channel today and I was immediately drawn in by your presence and the content of your videos. Greetings from a Sardinian in Bavaria :-)
I just got this channel .... finally someone who gets it .I think your great and have an awesome idea with the f ireside chat .I'm about to binge watch your videos because I believe its actually finally something worth watching and I'll be able to take some positive things away from your insights!!!! Thanks so much
I like it a lot Bjørn 👍🏻
Your idea reminds me of Jung and the lost connection we (Northern Europeans) have endured. Modern western society is a revolting and unnatural lifestyle for our people. I love the idea of Celebrating Volkish culture.
Look forward to following this channel going forward. I think bushcraft is spiritual healing, and it gives you back your connection with nature that we have been robbed of via capitalist enslavment of the working classes.
I agree with others, a series like this is not only wanted but needed. I myself have benefited greatly from your channel in a lot of different ways, thank you and Skal!
Dear Bjorn. Oh yes i can read your thinking . And i know how it feels . Anyway , thank you and stay Viking - Vi - Wir - King - Könige . My best to Norge - Kind regards Armin
One thing about writers, we could be off but never are really. Thanks for making this and the other vids for us.
I love your men's mental health series. You have messages here that are hard to find these days.
Do the series. A lot of young men really need it now.
I couldn't agree more with the brief points you were making. I look forward to the coming fireside chat videos.
I look forward to watching your videos , a spark of sanity in an otherwise mad world ,be well my friend ,take care of yourself.
Hi. I'm a little late to this video. But I would love the campfire talks!
I have seen some of your videos. And I really like them a lot. Thank you!
Love these. Thank you Bjorn
A fire side chat about the Norse way of life would be great. Thanks Bjorn
Great calming voice in troubled times
I think you have a good idea. Some of us like to take at least a day every week, so I think that their will be enough interest. Take care friend, and good fortunes.
Being out in the wild intouch with nature is a good part of self healing being a pagan and outdoors man my whole life has defiantly helped me ..keep up the fire side chats it will def help some folks blessings to you and hail Odin ..
That idea of yours sounds about right. You said yourself that being a viking means different things to different people. And that's why it's worth a try because everyone can share some things from their own experience. I could bring in a thing or 2 myself. Also, you're lucky to have such a campsite near your house.
I find your manner and your voice very calming. We used to go camping and sitting by the campfire was a!ways my favorite thing to do. And cooking over and eating by the campfire was slecial. I am in my mind 80s now so we don't camp any more . We have been married 65 years now. Stay healthy and may you and your fami!y Be Blessed
Just started watching you, you great. I work in a prison Kitchen (not an inmate) and do a lot of paperwork on the computer, while playing in the background. You make my day, please don't change a thing. Mental health and all.
YES. Mini series men's psychological
What a great spot. It would be wonderful sitting there on a sunny day soaking up the warmth of the stone. Good to see you taking a few hours for yourself. It's a feel gooder thing. What a neat spot my friend. It's always great to see you. The new format sounds like fun. I am no longer young but a bush rat at heart.
A bit late perhaps but I would say by all means, make that miniseries. It is something that is desperately needed. So many, and I include myself, have lost a connection to their past.
I love washing your videos!
You Are a Great man and you have though me Mutch of a lesson in life in just a shorts Time.
Du gör ett toppen jobb bara genom att dela dina egna tankar och att du är dig själv bara.
Du har avdramatiserat vild livet för mig nått alldeles otroligt mycket 🙏🏼💯
Jag ger mig ut på min första hajk på länge, min väska packades färdigt precis för en stund sen.
Så du lämnar ett legacy Björn
Du avdramatiserade hela BOB grejen för mig, och jag kan tänka mig för många andra.
I beöive That just like me.
People are sittning at home (packning, unpacking, repacking their bags).
We have alot of new wilderness equipment and can now use it for The real thing, insted of being afraid for family and friends, we start training Our bushcraft skills instedd of being scarred of sthf.
thank you very much.
regards from Sweden, Gävle 🤠
meny thanx! And keep up The Good Work, do exactly what you're doing.
That though about "teaching/learning/camp fire talk.. Great idea 🤠🤠 I would realy like That.
Teach us What we never had anyone Teach us, just as you do.
Just do your thing Brother
Love you and love your videos, as always you speak with simplicity and heart. Gods bless you
I can see myself watching all your videos in a few weeks. You speak so much truth.
Lots of respect to you Bjorn. Keep living life the way it should be lived.
Hello mate. I found your channel this evening after watching one of the latest MAPS videos and at the end, yours and around a dozen videos came on the screen. Dont get me wrong here when I say that I love the outdoors, but it has become almost "fashionable" and I honestly believe there are a lot of people who have gotten into it for egotistical reasons. Maybe they want more views on their channel or whatever, I dont know. But in the last few years I lost interest in watching videos about bushcraft etc. Anyway, I saw the still photo with your video and it intrigued me to the point of me hovering the cursor over the still to get the title. When I saw "Men's mental health" mentioned, I had to come watch it. Without going into a long story, I have always lived by the sea. I spent 5 years living just outside London and during that time my mental health went from iffy to bad to worse. I came back to my sleepy little seaside village and slowly things got back to normal for me. Sure, there were lots of visits to my GP, shrink and counsellors and they all helped. But ever since, it is a subject I have felt very close to. Now, combine that with being out in nature and to me you have a recipe for success and the potential to help people in ways beyond just teaching them how to do this or that with a knife and a piece of wood. Listening to you mentioning the Norse way of life and belief system potentially helping people find and retain the peace and "happiness" so many people (men and women) are lacking in their lives today was enough for me to want to see more. As such I really hope that you do follow through with some videos on these lines. Whether they be a camp fireside chat or ones at home. I for one would be really keen on watching them! As such, after just one video, I have decided to subscribe and tomorrow I shall begin catching up with your video history.
The "civilised" bit you were struggling with... I wonder if it is similar to how I how think of it? The civilised world today seems to be very much as you will find in the big towns and cities. Where people keep themselves to themselves. Rarely care much about their neighbours and fellow towns people. As opposed to say just 50 years ago, when most people were fairly close to their neighbours etc. If one was ill, the others pitched in and helped where they could. Be that picking the kids up from school etc or maybe getting their shopping and helping them in any ways they could.
To me, the loneliest places in the world now are the big towns and cities where everyone wants to be annonymous from everyone else outside of their immediate group of friends and family. Maybe not even as many people as that.
Also, I think that many of the mental health issues many of us face today are because our lives revolve around money, concrete, brick walls and the tendency to lock out the world and keep ourselves to ourselves. If we listen to mainstream science, our species (homo sapien) is around 200,000 years old. Yet the rate of change that the last 100 years or so has seen has had the hidden problem of us not being entirely ready for it. If we were completely ready, then there would only be a handful of people who like to get out in the wild and feel free. Even if only for a few short hours each week. I think that "need" is within most of us still and it works against so called modern civilisation, which in turn slowly works against how we try to live our daily lives. Just a theory.
I understand that it is a good place to camp. Evolution has left many traces in us. You are protected with the cliff behind you and the tarp gives you a feeling of protection from above. Architect Ralph Erskin designed the campus of Stockholm University. Among other things, he made small niches with low ceilings and a few meters depth where students could sit and study. They became very popular, because any threats could only come from one direction. We have a lot of caveman in us.
Regarding therapy in this series, I am sure you have heard of “nature-deficit disorder” - it is a natural subject matter for you. The Japanese have developed what they call “shinrin- yoku” which most easily translates to “forest bathing”. In the U.S. now there is a therapist certification for “forest therapy”. In the past I have worked with a wilderness survival therapy program which took young men out of youth authority institutions where they were incarcerated into wilderness for 30 days and, during that time, each participant spent 3 days alone with no food. The need is definitely there and so is the solution.
Yes, it is a good idea. I believe many need this.
I think a mini-series as you suggested would be helpful for many.
Thanks Bjorn, another great video. Just what i needed to get back to nature and a calm place of tranquility and peace. I used to camp and trek a lot as a boy, now i have to many battle scars and war wounds from life's little things that happen (motor vehicle accidents mainly) to do this. I enjoy your outings and the time you take to make videos.
I enjoy all you do. Thank you
From Niagara falls Canada
Its interesting to reflect what the unnatural living in modern society does to humans mental health. I think it makes us unhappy and in many cases even mentally sick because we need to be part of nature and need to feed our instinct to develop and be our real self's just like all other animals do.
Spot on Evert. I had a father who had a strong connection with nature and animals. He taught me skills and compassion for nature and at 61 years I wish I could relay his message to another generation. Skol brother.
I’m really enjoying your videos Bjorn especially at the very end of 2020. When I was a young kid I used to love to play in the woods. Everyday my cousins and I would always find something to build/destroy our in the woods. As an adult, I’ve forgotten what it feels like to enjoy nature as I did when I was young. I could blame work or household chores or simply raising my family but, no it’s my own fault for not making time to go exploring my wooded area. Thanks for reminding me I need to go do that.
I would like to see future men’s mental health discussions by fireside! Great channel Bjørn!
You are fortunate to live so close to unspoiled wilderness.
Thanks for the content that you post and I think it’s good to take children to a forest once or twice and I think as well that the noise of raindrops against a tent is very calming
I really fell in love with nature due to the military of all things. Before my service I needed to get in shape, so I started hiking since it seemed like the best way to prepare, and then in the military I absolutely loved living in a camp in a forest, not having a care in the world apart from the occasional orders to move to some other place. The contrast with our stressful and hectic world is insane. To think our ancestors got to live in the shade of trees, walking around the beautiful land hunting, gathering berries, fishing or just exploring without anything else getting in the way...
Some day when I have kids, I'm going to take them camping every chance I get and teach them about plants, trees, edible berries and mushrooms and animals. Maybe I'll dust up on my history knowledge and study up on mythology a bit first though so I'll have some educational stories for them to boot.
Edit: I also think some sort of educational series about the Norse way of life would be a nice idea. I think a lot of the problems that young men specifically have is partially caused by the fact that they don't really have a strong identity, like they're a bit disconnected from their own culture in a sense and it can cause people to feel a bit lost in this more global society we have these days.
That is the most perfect spot to camp I love that I would spend the night there
Sweet little campsite Bjorn ☺ Perfect location for future fireside chats.
Can't wait to discover more about the Norse ways and Viking spirit!
I will say that a fireside talk on mental health would be a very good idea. I already find great comfort in your videos, escaping to the woods, and have done for the past year or two. They've helped me a lot through some tough times and I am extremely thankful
I am so glad to hear that, Cameron. Thank you.
The mini series sounds like it could be helpful for many who fight our own minds from time to time.
I agree with the previous comment. Do the series! I feel as well that we’ve lost our connections with nature. That this generation coming up may be devoid of the understanding that comes from spending time in the woods and how pre-Christian humans were completely integrated with nature.
Your videos give me hope, thank-you good sir.
Go for it. As a separate series it means a chance to grow your channel and those who are not interested do no have to watch.
Very nice video, I really enjoy all of your videos so far. Several years ago my family traced our family tree and I discovered I was almost half viking and I am very proud .
Hello Bjorn, yes I do think it would be a good idea but I think it goes more towards self-reliance than anything else. The Viking lifestyle to me is just that, being self-reliant and being able to handle any situation you may encounter. It is not giving up but finding different ways to do things. I know you don't hunt but maybe you like to fish? Maybe you could show us a traditional way or some other way to catch fish and prepare the fish and cook it in the campfire. I need to get out more (outdoors) and do manly things, that's what a Viking would do!
Mini series? Sure, would like that
Fire side chat about about Norse culture would be great. 👍
Fire side chat would be great. I'm so happy I found this channel. I wish I would've have been taught or learned these survival skills. I unfortunately know nothing
I am probably one of your older subscribers (69 years), and I too enjoy my time in the woods, and forests (hard wood, maple, oak, etc.), here in the Mid-Western area of the U.S.,... I think that your idea of a "Fireside chat", would be an excellent idea, and approach for help, for so many young men, and women,... Our modern society, as you have mentioned does through more stress on the youth world wide, and the compression, and the demand of that society seems to be the down fall for so many of those youths,... Our young people need to learn to decompress, and reboot, back to a starting point, and rid themselves of that frustrating, bothersome demand of our over crowded modern society,...
Again I say that I like your ideas, and that I only wish that I could help,... If you are ever in the states, and wish to experience the area that I reside, as they say, "Look me up", and I would be more that happy to make it so,...
