    A trip to the North of Sweden. Had a great time with crafting snowshoes that worked very well in the deep snow. I have mentioned before I do not like a lot of cordage used for lashing things. So my idea behind the standard transom knot with the added lashings was to have the most secure square lashing with the least amount of cordage. Had no problem with it even if I didn't walk very far this time. Securing something that will move around under a work load with only a strip of 20 cm cordage is a challenge.
    Spent a night in extreme cold sleeping under the stars in a snow shelter. Many years ago I had this idea about being out in the middle of nowhere in winter. Being alone up in the north and hear wolves at night from my campfire. It's evolved into some kind of goal.. like a picture in my mind that describes the perfect wilderness experience. This time it happened. Of course the picture was not the same as real life. A bit eerie. When you are actually there feeling the cold, no cell signal, totally exposed amongst wild predators, have remains of raw meat in camp, it's hard to relax. Your imagination starts working in a different way :) Things are so easy when imagined from an armchair. Something to think about.
    Also lived the old time life in a remote cabin. Cutting wood and carrying water from a natural spring, no electricity. A hard but rewarding existence. And the best part: Absolute silence. No man made sounds. I seldom get reminded these days that this kind of silence is like a beautiful sound in itself when you don't even hear the occasional distant airplane. Normally the first couple of days when out in the woods I'm a bit anxious. But on the third day I usually find peace. Spent a full day on the ice fishing, and just enjoyed being in the present.
    Thanks for Watching!

    Lovely quiet getaway. And Cowboy coffee in Sweden? Who knew! I actually love cowboy coffee-but it’s probably more about the total experience rather than the coffee. Beautiful shot of the fox as well. Too bad about the fishing and better luck in the spring. Very beautiful cabin experience, too. Thank you for sharing-

      You can still buy coarser ground coffee in all shops in Sweden to boil. When you boil coarser ground coffee the taste is much rounder than if you use standard coffee for brewing.

    Thanks for sharing this serious, reflective experience. Ice fishing seems the most random activity with success mostly improbable - packing the sausage is a lesson to us all! Suddenly, when in the cabin, a ring-pull tin of Heinz beans seems the peak of civilisation! Lamp light and candle light is so different to electric light. Loved the snowshoe string music. The perfect soundtrack...

But its out there. I will try some of the tips You presented. I may even try to make snow shoes, even though we do not get to much snow here. Ha! Your fire bowl thingy intrigues me. I may have to look into getting one. Thanks for all You Do!! 👍👍 Happy Easter! God Bless!

      Actually not. You can buy course ground coffee in all stores in Sweden. The coarser ground coffee makes for a much rounder and nicer taste than in you boil standard sized coffee grinds for boiling.

    What a beautiful cottage. You are so creative it's amazing. You can even make music with the self-made snowshoes, very fun. Only when fishing, there is still room for improvement if you are successful in catching a fish. I think it worked once in a video! Your videos are great, they speak for themselves, there is absolutely no need for explanations. Many destroy their beautiful videos with constant drivel. I'm from Germany and I'm fascinated by your beautiful landscape. Thank you and keep making great videos.

    Excellently produced video brother, thanks for the work. Constantly chasing after the camera has got to be a PITA, part of the game though. I've only used snowshoes once, never could get the wobble walk down just right, of course living in a desert 2000 miles south and 7000 miles west of you, I really don't need them. A human trait being apprehensive of predators, wolves can be somewhat unpredictable depending on how hungry they are. Great video, well done and as always a true pleasure to be invited along for the trip. Enjoy!
