Man Rescues Moose Trapped in a Tree in Small Swedish Town

- Swedish resident Leif Gisslen rescued a moose that got stuck on a swing on a tree in the town of Vindo, Stockholm County, Sweden.
Gisslen told Storyful he went on his usual morning walk around his small town when he noticed the moose in distress. He walked gently towards the moose and saw it was stuck on the ropes of a swing attached to a tree.
The moose tried to get loose by moving wildly around, and Gisslen tried to soothe the animal before he went to his neighbor’s home in search of a bar to cut the swing ropes. The neighbor gave him the bar and followed Gisslen back to the moose, where he filmed the second video on Gisslen’s phone.
Gisslen then used the bar to free the animal and after about 20 minutes, it was released. Gisslen estimated the animal to be about two years old with a weight of 200 kg.

This man is northern swedish. The calmest folks in the world!
Norway loves you guys! 👍🇳🇴
Haha, he keeps saying: "Jag kommer strax" = "I'll be there in a sec". So nice to hear calm reassurance, like as if the moose could understand him. Hard not to hear on his voice that he only wanted to help. I love this.
Marremarräng Thank you for translation!!!😊
That moose probably expected that man to rescue it as much as I'd expect a bear to rescue me, even if it behaved calm and made calm noises.
I think an animal can tell a peaceful tone from an angry or threatening one.
Janet Miller yes, Janet. It has been proven that wild animals are positively effected by a calm, kind tone of voice.
Beautiful. Who doesn't appreciate a calm caring genuine intention. Animals probably more than homosapien.
That rescuer was very smart by standing behind the tree. Great job!
👌👌👌💪💪💪👍👍👍 Teamwork. It took the moose calming down and a man with guts and heart to make it work. There are good people in this world.
The moose seemed to calm down and even aided in his own release once he realized the farmer was helping him.
Cheryl Schibley Yeah but then it charges him 😱
@@katana5562 i'm not so sure he/she charges him. The moose tries to run away into the woods, but slips almost. Which makes his body and head tilt over a bit and makes it look like charging.
@@Michiel1972 Antlers = he...
@@katana5562 The Bulls will charge with head down, usually the females turn and kick.I think she was trying to break away not charging.
Yeah: who knew mooses? meese?? er... moose could speak Swedish?
That took a lot of guts and courage. What an excellent job! Thank you!!!
very good guy risking himself
Lass-in Angeles , Yes, a moose can easily kill a person with a couple of stomps.
Is suppose one can always come up with an (if but ) DirtRoad.
Moose can be very aggressive. Hiding behind the tree was the correct thing. Glad the moose was freed. But if you ever see some such situation maybe calling animal control is the thing to do.
The cameraman had a rifle and that gives the helper confidence
A brave man and kind soul.
Or not hunting season.

Wow! Having lived in moose country for 15 yrs I have great respect for the bravery of this man. Moose are super dangerous for 3-4 months of the year and just your normal dangerous the rest of the year, lol.
Rob Aldridge The guy kept the tree between them the whole time. Before the moose settled down a bit, it’s like it tries to target him in its anger. Brave and decent guy. Bravo.
At least he had a tree to quickly dodge around.
Not like deer or elk are they Rob ?
@@russcollins4762 nah not really, i mean a deer or a elk would never charge at you unlike mooses.
@@edvins8863 I live in Colorado. I have had moose charge my vehicles .
You're a HERO, sir. Thank you for saving that animal. :)
He was a brave man! ❤😙 What a majestic animal 😍❤
Thats the courageous masculinity that the feminazis "forgot" to tell you about.
@@johnparker7784 a good man and a good heart! and hey, women need strength of their own eh... not to outdo... just to keep up ; )
mm
The best part of the video is when you see the moose realize the guy is there to help. Great job!
I love the Gaelic broque. Could listen forever....
a moose whisperer
he did not, exactly at the end it charges.
Your eyes are deceiving you.
Yea then tries to charge him lol
The moment the moose realizes the man is working to free him....priceless!
I do not think the moose ever realized that at all.
He did because he became unnaturally calm.
No Linus. Ann above and you too are anthropomorphizing the mooses behavior, humanizing it. He does not know the man is working to free him nor does he feel gratitude.
James, science taught us something different about non human animals cognition and sentience. Your views are 19 century views.
I will concede that some animals have certain emotions but they do not possess the full range of human emotion. Some feel compassion and sympathy but dogs for example do not feel guilt, we read that into their expression, that's anthropomophrizing. Dolphins, elephants, dogs and even rats do have some emotions but not the full gamut of human feeling. This moose is not feeling gratitude nor do I think it recognizes help.
Good job, Brave man.
Gentle Moose: "I am free now; thank you kind man for your time to help me."
The comments made by the rescuers made this even more wholesome :,D
Examples: "Did you wanna go for a swing?" "I'll be there in a sec." "Yes, calm, calm, calm" and my favourite: "I'm here."
I like the way the man softly talked to the moose. I think the moose finally understood that the man was there to help. So glad to see this. TX for sharing the video! Made me happy! :))
Rhyannon Lallatin :]
May God bless you, brave man with a kind heart.
God Bless people risking their lives for animals. Both crazy and brave.
They did good. Also, there is no god.
Yes, God Bless him. I would say wise and brave.
madman2u po
Well done fella!
You did a good job and deserve a medal. The moose knew you were trying to him.
What a compassionate man! I like knowing that there are such people in this world. God bless him & his family today & always!
That's was AWESOME man! Brave man for sure!
thank you for being so kind!
Smart.
Brave man, kind man. 👏. Thank you Sir.
It takes the heart of a gentle person like this to touch and change even a hunter! God bless him.
Anyone that is an expert in human animal behaviour could pick this video apart and show why this man was successful in helping the animal. Brave and wise he calmed the animal dramatically till he could cut it free. Brilliant.
If there is one thing you should take away from this video aside from how admirable this man is, it's what to do when a moose is in a position to attack you... Hug a tree!
LoL !!!
lol and good advice!
I guess them tree huggers know a thing or two... I have a newfound respect for them tree huggers!
Natural and thick defense
good job. Thanks for being so brave.
Constanze Steegmiller "Thanks"..........? Don't you mean well done? Thanks Implies it's your moose.
Mark Hepworth/ Just curious what Country you live in, that when someone uses the words Thanks or thank you that it means they own something? Like If I open a door for you and you say thanks, well then do you then own that door? Or if I open a door for your wife and she says Thank you does she then own me? Lmao
Smokin Bill Williams, I'm glad someone addressed the boy wonder of Mark Hepworth.
Thanks Jay.
We showed him didn't we? Ha!!!!
This man is an angel! I hope he has come back here over time, to read all the comments left about him! We need more folks like him in the world. Along with everyone else on here, THANK YOU SO MUCH, for helping this poor animal. GREAT ENDING for all! Thumbs up!
Takes guts to do that..moose can be deadly..thank you for helping him
Mr Moose knew the man was helping he stood very still...otherwise it could've been worse...thank you sir for helping mr.moose be free
You risked your own life to save that moose.. and that moose understood that..I respect you and i don't know you but i love you..wish you the best..and the moose says thanks : )
i couldn't have said it better!
Yes, someone needed to express the moose's gratitude. Thank you for doing so.
It's so cool to see an animal accept help from a person. It proves a lot about animals. Anything is possible with the right approach.
Who could 'dislike' this? Very good man. Kind and brave.
Showing the best in in humankind.
That's a stretch
@@Pomiferous , Double moron.
They might've hunted and eaten the moose later on.
theres not much left out there though,
daring thing to do. AEven if the moose didn't show gratitude, at least he didn't attack.
The rear leg was raised to kick with (a rear kick for a man standing in front... no one ever has claimed moose were smart) and the lunge foward would have lead to a trampling if he would have reached. It's not like the moose wasn't trying to attack.
@@forbeshutton5487 I'm just glad that tree was there between them when he took off.
Not attacking was gratitude. Moose-talk for "Thanks" is not killing you.
: )
It was a female moose. If it was a male, he would have a huge antler rack. :)
Vielen Dank für die Rettung und den Mut 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you kind sir. The moose knew you were helping at some point. Made my night!
It takes way more balls to save animals than to kill them.
Odds are that man was also a hunter.
Tatsujiro Kurogane lol. That’s funny.
@Tatsujiro Kurogane I don't know about that. East Asians kill and eat almost everything that walks and they have the smallest male parts on the planet.
@Tatsujiro Kurogane Keep killing animals. Maybe one day you'll get it above two inches long. LOL
@Tatsujiro Kurogane I didn't make it up dude. It's common knowledge. ua-cam.com/video/IFImYsH4u5A/v-deo.html
Very well done, very brave man.
that man has balls..i'm glad he helped that moose. i would've done the same thing, because i love animals, but ,like him, i think, i would've been scared shitless...:)
That's a job well done. You are a hero!
Love stuff like this.....well done!!! After the initial panic that moose stood stock still for that noisy saw. Animals seem to understand on some level.
It's the way he handled it. Done properly, you can see how he had a dramatic calming effect on the moose. Brave and wise man.
Great job!! The moose seemed to know you was trying to help and stood still!! Awesome!!! No more bird feeders or swings with rope!!! 😁😁
Yes i noticed too that he seemed to be after whatever was in the feeder
The moment the Moose realized he was being helped....priceless. Good job!
After the initial panic the moose seemed to realize the man was merely trying to help.
If so, the moose would have thanked him instead of charging.
That moose probably expected that man to rescue it as much as the man would expect a bear to rescue him.
Well done sire. My hat goes off to you.
I do believe that moose started to realize he was getting help. Looks like he started an attempt on snacking on the saw pole. He was just a big calf.
A job well done. 👍
snugbug...yep. i believe you are right. I think most vertebrates sense energy and intention...to varying degrees. The gentleman did a good job.
I agree with what the three of you said.
In the end it seemed the moose saw the man as no threat.
I'm sure the man knew how fast a moose is but he still wanted to help it.
I think I'll have a couple of Moosehead beers to celebrate. Get it? Hahahaha
Sherman Oaks that's our go to brand for beer !!
rollingklouds yes ! feeders could be hung higher in moose country. I would.
Thank you for saving this creature. God bless you beyond measure.
very good...brave man and worthy of living in nature, certainly not a cowardly hunter
Wow that thing could stomp you into the ground easily! That took guts.
He was lucky (the moose) that the tree was close enough for him to hide behind. They're not nimble or smart enough to attack around trees. Calling in more people to sedate him would've just caused more stress too.
JAZZ MAN that ruff was up while it charged. WoW
Crazy and dangerous...
Great rescue.
Brilliant video. Thank you for helping that beautiful creature. You’re a brave man standing face to face. :)
That's so amazing that there are good people out there to lend a helping hand to anyone or anything in need.
What a good man.
A good kind man!
I think the moose eventually realised that the man was trying to help.
Wow amazing, they both had to have trust awesome act of kindness
Excellent job! Thank you for caring. ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
A real hero! Awesome job!
Here's a bit of trivia: this species is only called moose in the USA and Canada. In much of the world it's called elk, älg, Elch, etc. The confusion comes from early English colonists to North America seeing the wapiti (Cervus canadensis) for the first time, and giving it a name for large deer that they already knew: "elk." Then, when they saw the actual elk, that name was already taken so they used the Algonquian-language derived name "moose."
In Russia we call them "Los' ". In Ukrainian it sounds almost the same too.
Most excellent compassion and mercy. Moose knew you were helping and was quiet and still for you. It will remember your kindness as will our Creator.
A very brave man..and the moose realized he was getting helped...animals are not stupid. - We've saved a kitten that was always very shy and standoffish from drowning...and she was for ever grateful after that.
Oh that was wonderful, and the moose was so calm as he knew he was being helped
After he was free, I thought you were a goner.
Me too!
Wouldn’t that have been fucked up? Lol frees the bastard than the moose tramples his ass to death and to add insult to injury, you end up on UA-cam.
@@vcdep991 lol true
@@vcdep991 why are we talking about it 2 years after the initial comment.
Joseph N N haha!!! No shit huh?!?! Feeling like a major loser right now!
Another video that proves there is still hope for mankind! Very well done, thanks for this video.
Excellent. I think after the tree limb was removed, the moose realized the man was helping him and seemed to be more relaxed and patient. .
Very good job !
Well done fella 👌
What a great man. Even though he was in danger of being kicked or rammed, he still found it in his heart to help this moose.
Many decades ago, I was riding in northern Wisconsin on a small county road through the woods with my grandparents. My grandpa was Swedish, and started working as a lumberjack away from home at 13, then was a fireman on steam engine, and ended up fixing furnaces and boilers. He bought 40 acres at a government auction for $10/acre, and then built a year-around cabin with his bare hands and whatever building supplies he could beg, borrow or steal. He'd buy damaged material and warped lumber for cheap, and would find a way to make it work. Anyway, as we were taking a little drive in the middle of nowhere (this was the early 60's, and I was maybe 9), we came across a giant buck that had leaped over an old barbed-wire fence and gotten his hind leg twisted in the wire. My grandfather could not stand for an animal to suffer, so he pulled over immediately and got the big wire-cutters out of his toolbox in the trunk. Grandma started silently praying, and I was a quiet witness. The buck kept dramatically leaping to get free, and any kick from the rear legs could have seriously injured my grandpa. He spoke gently and quietly to the deer, and was able to cut the wire and the buck leaped free. My grandparents unfailingly did the right thing, and faced any adversity or challenge with profound dignity and courage. I thank God every day for the hardworking people who raised me. I will never forget them, and try to honor them in any way I can.
In the state of Maine, that's called dinner, December-March. Moose burgers, moose loaf, mooseballs, moose croquettes, moose casserole, moose shepherd's pie, moose chili, moose tips, smoked moose, BBQ moose, moose ribs, leg of moose, moose stroganoff, moose stew, moose mignon - the possibilities are endless!
Sweden eats the most moose meat per capita in the world. And at least top 3 in long rifle ownership. Sweden have the highest density of moose in any nation. It doesn't look like hunting season so that is a good reason not to shoot it even if you could lawfully justify it because the animal is stuck. it is unsportsly to shoot a traped animal and unfair to other hunters who wanted a shoot at it in season.
In some places on Earth fat white Americans are called dinner. American burger, american loaf, americanballs, american croquettes, american casserole, american shepherd's pie, american chili, american tips, smoked american, BBQ american, american ribs, leg of american, american stroganoff, american stew, american mignon - the possibilities are endless!?
Moose mousse?
Moose liver pate?
Dangerous business. Glad he helped it get free
That was very courageous of the that man. Good job for helping.
The man’s calm voice & intelligent approach helped in the release of this animal. He was in a very dangerous position but aided by the tree.
I think the moose finally realized you were trying to help, not hurt.
A true hero
that is what a true man and selfless hero looks like. much love and respect.
Какой смелый человек!!!Браво !!!Спас дикое опасное животное!Здоровья Вам!
Well done !
Beautiful animal. God's wonder of nature. Fine job, Sir. Good work.
Amazingly brave sir. You deserve the moose rescue medal of honour.
AWESOME! Thank You for freeing this beautiful animal! 😁❤👍✌
balls of steel..............nice one
It looks as though the moose knew the man was trying to help it as it soon calmed down and stood still.
atomicsnowflake it sure did, that is so cool
@Game Bred Duramax it didn't it stormed off into the woods
Christer Pettersson - ever been scared? Idiot...
It's a nice thought but i think it was probably just tired..
Let's call it a fortunate ending to a potentially dangerous situation.
I like how calm he acted. At a certain point, the moose understood that he is not there to hurt.
I'll give it up to the gentleman, he looked like an older man. To hold that pole saw like that, for that long, he had to be in shape and strong arm and shoulder!! Great job! Sir 👍😎
THANKYOU
Risking life and limb, no pun intended. Moose are very aggressive and deadly, and don't know that you are trying to help them. It's called fear attack, notice how he was hugging the tree like his life depended on it. That's because it did.
What a lovely moment when he was freed. So nice to know there are still some kind people .
Older guy, probably an outdoorsman all his life. Very brave here. A city grandpa would never even attempt such a thing. Great job.
It's like the moose knew he was trying to help it. 👍
no, animal always animal. but that old man have a very big balls :) this saving operaion was very dangerous.
Serega, animals...human are animals too according to biology. And As I can see your knowledge on last 20 years of research of non human animals cognition is non existent. Your views are from Middle Ages.
Why didn't the moose lick him instead of charge then?
As much as you'd know when a bear is trying to help you.
Hopefully a learning experience for the young moose. Smarter every day!
Wow! Amazing, extremely brave, kind man!!👍 The opposite of hunters in every way, yet hunters congratulate and proudly slap each other on back for shooting a moose like a mighty accomplishment. Thank you sir, a real man.
God Bless you sir, I know Moose are powerful, seen one in Canada run over a few trees, it was crazy. We need more men like you.
Good for you sir.
You are just plain "AWESOME" thank u for taking the time to help this innocent animal, if only everyone on this earth had ur caring, loving heart.
"junk~junkie"
I think the moose finally realized he was there to help. Good job !
Makes me so happy to see humans helping our animal friends!! They do return the favor at times...thinking about a child lost, and when found kept warm by a furry animal...they seem to know!!
Good, patient job.
Really good stuff!
The man was so calming the moose knew he was helping him.
These are the people that should have medals for kindness and bravery also.
