    😢 I really admire your honesty in making these videos (as you know a lot of UA-cam hiking videos are fake!). You care so much for Linkka and Odezza and it must be so heartbreaking to have to leave Odezza behind. I had a similar experience too, my dog Fuji got injured during our multi-day hikes once and I felt so guilty about it because I felt like I could’ve taken better care/prevent the injury :( Anyway I’ve seen more recent photos on IG of you and your 2 girls rocking it in the snow on more winter hikes so I’m glad Odezza is all good now!

    Oh what a shame, can feel the sadness because you were a team but you put the dog first, it had to be done, it shows how much the dogs mean to you, total respect.

    Thank you for sharing another wonderful video with us, Maiu. It was really moving seeing how much you cared for your dogs, and for Odezza in particular in this case. I think in your editing you did very well dealing with the fact that those of us who follow you on Instagram already knew what was coming.

    I like how you've become more relaxed and candid in front of the camera. I think we are really seeing the real you and your personality, rather than a TV presenter style presentation that most UA-camrs go for... it's much more natural and more like accompanying you on the trip.

    Such awesome friends you have, and are able, and willing, to call upon! The effort that you put into making and sharing these videos, both physical and mental, is truly appreciated. Loved the little "dance" to flatten the snow for the camp. The tent set up segment at double-time, and accompanying music reminded me of old silent movies, brilliant. Stay happy.

    Lesson of the day: never-ever use post nord. We had to use them in the past because that was the only delivery method a foreign pet store used. Within a few years more packets were lost / delivered days or weeks late / delivered to wrong location than they managed to deliver successfully on time. Twice they even claimed that they tried to deliver the package directly to our home but nobody answered the doorbell. Both of the cases were lies because in both cases someone was at home on standby waiting for the delivery. Not an optimal way of burning vacation-days...
    What was the solution? We changed the pet store, We now pay more for the food, but at least we can be sure we actually get what we paid for...

    It is tough when you realise that they are getting to old to go on hikes, especially when its a husky. Our eldest Husky passed a few months ago, its not the same going out without them.

    Do you blame yourself for not having dog goggles from the beginning? Are there other things you would consider critical failures in planning or preparation for the trip? We make mistakes, small and large but if we learn and avoid repeating the same mistakes, we call that growth and progress. 🤔
    Maybe you'll make a post-expedition video analyzing what was done right/wrong and what you'd do different if you were to do the Kungsleden again. Besides it's value to you, it would be excellent information for anyone planning a similar trip.

    Maiu, how come you put a jacket on your dogs at night and not use a sleeping bag?

    • @MaiuLunekund
      @MaiuLunekund  2 роки тому +1

      They have a double fur coat that actually makes so they wouldn't need anything extra to keep them warm during winter time. They can curl up as huskies do to keep as much warth as possible the natural way. Adding jackets will help them burn less calories during the night. I don't believe in dog sleeping bags, they are very cumbersome to use and usually dogs don't like to sleepn in there. Warm jackets are much more convenient! Plus a sleeping mat underneath and they are more than comfortable 😴
