    Great video, but your statement that "Private land and protected national parks are, of course, excluded from the Freedom to Roam" is incorrect. All uncultivated land at a reasonable distance from private homes, is free to roam regardless of ownership. Protected parks are free to roam. Roamers are also free to pick berries, mushrooms and dead firewood and pitch a tent for two nights in one spot on all uncultivated land. Private roads and trails are free for hiking and biking. There are restrictions on making open fires and fishing in lakes. All motorized off-road movements are highly restricted.

    in norway we have a seying: there is no bad weather, only bad clothing so if you put on the correct type of jacket etc for what you are doing and what could happend you be fine most of the time, just dont go in the mountain if its middle of the winter a snow storm and 30 m/s wind then you are asking for trouble ;)

      Norway is definetly better when it comes to nature. But Denmark and Sweden is very similar when it comes to everything else. Security, taxes, healthcare and so on is mostly the same. Denmark is more continental and in many ways also similar to Germany. Sweden has unfortunately got some security issues in bigger cities. But this is very isolated in certain areas and in general the security is the same in Scandinavia.

And the funny thing is I am actually waiting until I move to Norway to get a tattoo, so maybe I could be one of your customers

    • @TullaRask
      @TullaRask 2 місяці тому

      I think English find the right-to-roam very odd. It includes all land, not just private naturally. You have to be nice to people though. Stay away from farmland, people's houses and clean up after yourself. I as a Norwegian would find a secluded little road somewhere, maybe by a river, and move on after a night or 2. I would also make sure no one could see I had even been there when I left.

    • @hakonkvande6767
      @hakonkvande6767 3 роки тому +2

      Simple answer: yes
      Longer answer: Generally speaking, any job where you are expected to deal with other people will require you to understand Norwegian, you don't have to be fluent, but must be able to communicate. Understanding English well is a great help, but not nearly as important as Norwegian.
      We are often referred to as Nationalistic when it comes to our hiring practices and even though I disagree with the classification, I understand why. We really prefer hiring Norwegian speakers. And as a customer, I approve of this.
      Obviously, there are exceptions. If you work with coworkers, your need for Norwegian becomes smaller when it comes to handling customers as you can refer them to another employee, or as the case might be, you deal with it in English.
      Exactly how important Norwegian is will greatly depend on what kind of work you do. If you want more specific answers you'll need to find them elsewhere as I have no real information other than observation.

      If you can a job working for an University ( Universitet ) or a College "Univeristycollege" ( Høgskole )
      the requirements of Norwegian is less as these institutions have a lot of employees from outside Norway.
      Even then a good grasp of Norwegian ( "Bokmål" or "Nynorsk" ) is preferred.

  • @Dan-fo9dk
    @Dan-fo9dk Рік тому

    I don't know where you get your info from, but there were a number of incorrect claims....quite a few....
    Let me mention some of those I remember right now:
    - "..you can not roam on private land or national parks..." Oh...yes ...indeed you can. You must stay at least 150 m away from houses and can not camp on land which is in use like agriculture land. Camping on such places is a one night thing before you must move on.
    - "...national parks on Spitsbergen...". The archipelago of the high Arctic are named Svalbard, were Spitsbergen is just the largest island. So unlike what you say is it not only Spitsbergen that has national parks....but also several of the other islands in the archipelago do have national parks ....and that is not a small area ....around 20000 sq.km.
    - "....there are 40000 lakes in Norway...". Haha....that is less than 9 % of the actual number. You should rather try with around 450000 lakes.
    - "...the number of lakes in Norway are of course lower as in Finland..." Nope. Norway has by far more lakes, multiple times more, than Finland.
    - "....Norway has around 150000 islands..." Nope. You should rather try with that there are over 239000 islands in Norway.
    - "....the length of the coast line is "mainly" because of the islands...". Well.....the mainland is very fractured with all it's fjords and in total it is around 29000 km. Which is a significant contribution. When it comes to the coast line of islands is Svalbard the main contributor.
    - "....Norway's coast line is over 80000 km..." You should rather try with that the coast line is over 107000 km.
