    This system works because I suspect the culture of Sweden is one of respect and responsibility. I wish we had that level of respect in America. Once upon a time maybe bit not now..

    Great info, Robert! Here on Vancouver Island & in BC, much like all of Canada, we share your Swedish basic common sense, respectful approach to the outdoors. Our backroad (logging road) networks are also vast (as is the landscape) & we're perhaps even a little more free to roam once in the wilderness. Going off track is not a problem here.
    What we don't have is that fabulous network of shelters you Swedes share. That's incredible !There are some here but Sweden has Canada beat by far with that offering.

    I've just got back from Sweden. I saw your video before and now I enjoyed it again :-)
    I can only recommend everyone to do it EXACTLY as it is explained in the video.
    i'm enthusiastic about sweden, about nature and your tracks and your work.
    the track is really very beautiful, i would even say lovingly designed (i can say that, we do something like that in germany).
    the additional information is worth its weight in gold.
    Perfect.
    thanks for this great job!

    Excellent summary, I linked it to my FB page. Imagine my surprise when I was asked yesterday at one of the shelters why I didn’t ride my bike all the way forward on the hiking path. Because 1) IT IS a hiking path and 2) it’s within a nature reserve! Not all Swedes have that understanding of those very simple rules!

    I love the Swedish property use laws, but laws are usually based on prevailing beliefs, so I have a great appreciation for Swedish attitudes of respect and valuing the land to preserve and protect it. I've never been to your lovely country, but I always ADV like a Swede. I also mountain bike, hike, kayak, and camp like a Swede.
    I've been using OsmAnd+ as my navigation app. I love that it downloads Open Street Maps (which include gravel roads and trails) to the tablet/phone and it does all of the route planning on the device so it never communicates with servers. It doesn't spy on me and it works in remote areas where there is no cell coverage.

    @jannehamalainen889 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks for a good and informative video Robert! If anyone is intrested I can add that everything you said about Sweden is pretty much the same here in Finland. Just different sources for maps and places and maybe a little less cabins and such for sleeping. The tricky part with gravel roads is that you most likely don't know if you are on a publicly funded or a fully private road. But if you take it easy and be polite it won't be a problem either way (for you or for anyone else).
