I really liked you're reflection of our beautiful country. I often tell my kids and wife how lucky we are to have this great nature around us and able to be free in it. :-)
Allemansrätten has to be one of the best things about Sweden! We love off grid camping, and this law makes it so easy. Love it! Great video by the way!
I live in Poland and am considering camping in Sweden this year. Thank you for sharing your moments - it looks so peaceful. Only 10 million people live in such a large country. A lot of nature to admire, thanks to Allemansratten. Amazing!
Apologies for my late reply. I was away from RU-vid for a while. Thanks for your kind comment. I hope you had a great holiday! Did you manage to go to Sweden?
Thanks for making this video and sharing what Sweden offers off-grid campers - incredible! Are the location of these facilities mapped (particularly lavatories) so you can find them easily? If so, can you please advise who provides the best source of this information?
Hello Roy, wow what a nice and constructive comment and question, thanks! To find toilets in Sweden was very easy, every hiking trail, every beach, every fishinglocation, just about every public facility has a public toilet (many times nothing more than a hole in the ground with a wooden shelter around it, but it works perfectly). When you need more specifics you can use www.park4night.com but please note that they do not have every spot mapped, although we have found them the best to use. Hope this helps, can you please let me know? Enjoy the weekend!
I expect you to have an amazing time then! But also hang on for our next weeks episode about the Wilderness trail in Sweden. Big recommendation. The story starts of a bit slow, but it develops into beauty and excitement.
Hi Wild Camping, thank you for your reaction! For this video we have taken parts of other video's and in those video's we have mentioned the different locations. So to know all, I would recommend havind a look at our Sweden Playlist. But perhaps you can share which specific part you liked, than I will share where it was. Is that an idea? Regards and much love!
Hallo Ray, dank je wel!! Ben je van plan om Zweden aan te doen? Lijkt me wel, gaaf plan! We hebben misschien nog wel meer inspiratie op RU-vid staan. Vildmarksvagen was echt gaaf. Maar als je nog ergens iets over wilt weten. Dan horen we het graag. Groetjes!
@@uglysjourney ik ben een tour aan het voorbereiden door Scandinavië, we (mijn gezin) hebben een klassieke camper (een 1987 Ducato met 75 hele pk's) die binnenkort off-grid is. Op dit moment ben ik door jullie playlist aan het gaan en geniet van elke video, goed bezig! Groetjes!
@@uglysjourney het enige wat nog moet gebeuren is een diesel standkachel (Planar 2d) en een maxxfan, op dit moment kan ik ongeveer 1.5 week vrij staan, ik zit er nog over te denken om op korte termijn de camper ook winterhard te maken maar dat komt eind van het jaar. Tot die tijd lekker reizen en plannen maken.
Hello Amin, thanks for your kind reaction! We have used quite a few locations in this video, so listing them is quite some work. Could you specify the locations you would like to know? And we also have other videos on camperlife in Sweden and in these videos we did mention the locations. Cheers!
Hej, thank you for answering me ♥️ we would like to know the places on the following minutes of the video : 0:09 and 1:32 and 1:51 and 2:10. We will really appreciate if you tell us where is these places are located, best regards
Hi Amin, we needed to do some research in our archives.... 😉👍 but we found them. Hope you will like the locations! 0.09 Sjotorp. Location is no longer there on park4night. Is was on a small peninsula close by Sjotorp and an old dock/factory. 1.32 park4night.com/nl/lieu/93994/ Hoga Kusten, very cool! 1.51 Ghislaved, just a quick stop along the road: park4night.com/nl/lieu/155343/ 2.10 Stalon Lookout, amazing place. On the Wilderness road. park4night.com/nl/lieu/55082/
A good way is to rinse off the soap 10-15 meters from the water (depemding on the terrain), so the ground filters the water before it goes back to the lake. BTW: Allemansrätten is a nordic consept. Basically same rules apply to all nordic countries with very small variations. You are free to enjoy the nature, as long as you don't disturb others, don't harm animals or plants, clean up after yourself and leave the place as nice as it was when you arrived.
@@uglysjourney I'm not an expert but check, what even biosoap does to the water. Why not wash yourself standing in a tub and ceep the water in a greytank. Then go swimming in the lake/river.
Hi Dirk, thanks for letting us know! We also care very much about the nature, so we checked the internet and found the following: "Just because you're in the backcountry doesn't mean you have to sacrifice all sense of hygiene. You can clean up a bit. And you can do it with eco-friendly biodegradable soaps, which are void of phosphates, surfactants, triclosans, and antibacterial ingredients that wreak havoc on natural waterways." Would you agree?
Its nice more tourists come, but please adopt a swedish mindset and behaviour in nature and on our roads. Dont take your countries problems here, dont behave like at home.
Thank you for sharing your concern. Indeed "when in Rome, do as the Romans do....." is the same as "when in Sweden.....". But perhaps you could give an example of what tourists do and what Swedes would never do? Would be appreciated!
@@uglysjourney Swedes act like assholes too, ESPECIALLY those from Stockholm that come up here for holiday...but for example never throw trash, dont make fires where they are not supposed to be (in norway its fire ban all summer in the whole country, everywhere), dont blast loud music and ruin the quiet if theres other campers within hearing range, dont fish without a license unless sure its free for all in that place, dont throw cigarett butts (buy a pocket ashtray at OKQ8 gas stations they are great), dont scream and be obnoxious anywhere at any time no matter where you are or what time of day or if its indoors or outdoors, we hate that. And remember to respect personal space, dont get right up in peoples faces and talk super loud or touch strangers, dont sit next to a stranger if theres other places available. The normal stuff, just common sense. When in Sweden, pretend its Japan and you get the social rules.
