Hei hei, thanks for watching! Please let me know if you have any questions about foraging in Norway, and about different berries, mushroom and animals :D
Hi Pål. Love your videos. First time I am commenting. Learning so much about Norway & Norwegian life through the videos. 3 of my great grandparents were Nordic (2 Norwegian and 1 Swede). Planning to visist one day with husband and kids and love the ideas for travel and adventure from your videos. Enjoyed this video on getting out in nature too... my Dad always taught me nature is healing. I still remember in my teens when a friend and I had an argument and I was so down, Dad took me up in the forest and we collected a remedy he uses for coughs/colds. By the end of the trip I was smiling and that is when he said to me that nature is healing. Now am so inspired to see the Norwegian forest and maybe find some blueberries too!
Hei Deep Thinker, nice to hear from you! Glad you enjoy my videos, and hope you will make it over here some day :) I agree with your dad, nature is very healing. I think especially now during the pandemic it has been an important place to "breathe" for a lot of people. God Jul! Merry Christmas to you
Very good video. New subscriber here who is hoping to visit Norway for the first time hopefully this year. I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and appreciated you giving both Norwegian and English names for the berries.
Hei Hei! Blåbær er smaken av sommer! 🫐 Here in Maine they peak in late July-early August and can be found in the woods, next to the road and right on the hiking trails. When my siblings and I were kids our Mom used to tell us if we picked a cup she would make muffins-so, good motivation 😋 I liked your excitement about seeing a moose. I understand that perfectly! Good call not eating the mushroom that will make you berserk-although that would have made a very interesting video 😂 God Sommer, Pål! 🫐🫐🫐🌲🌿🦌 🌼🌞
Hei hei Amy, thanks for watching the video. Nice you have such nice blueberry memories :) I've always wondered what the blueberries taste like over there, compared to the ones we have here. Btw. there is a fun Norwegian expression "å være helt på bærtur" :) read about it here: www.thelocal.no/20191126/norwegian-expression-of-the-day-helt-paa-baertur/
Thanks for video !! Blueberry or " grapefruits " are definitely uncommon in Brasil ! Nice see how grow up and picked up them, as much as about mushrooms !
In most of the foothills of California, we have elderberry trees. They average perhaps three to five meters tall. Small berries; about pea sized. Dark purple and need to be cooked into jam.
This reminds me of berry and mushroom picking for the first time in Norway last year. It was really amazing! Such nice moss and lichen covered forest floor :-)
Cloudberry was taken by the vikings in their boats on their voyagers of conquest because they prevent scurvy. Are they different to blue berries ! I would presume so !
@@norwaywithpal Thanks for the reply. So obviously cloudberries are different. They were taken by the vikings on their boat journeys around Europe and the New world. I first found about this whilst reading a biography of Nansen many many years ago. Again thanks for the reply and love your channel Pal.
Nice to see you back on track Pål... been out doing some filming as well today. I really enjoyed this episode. You variated the clips beautifuly with amazing cut in's and b-roll. Your style of filming inspire me alot 👏🏻 My favourite berry must be Bjørnebær 🥰 Did you manage to make something out of the vacation?
Thank you! Bjørnebær are great, but a bit hard to find over here... Mostly in peoples gardens. And yes I did a fair share of filming during the vacation, but you know, I need to balance it with my love life, and not making it too much into work. You probably know how it goes... So not optimal in that sense, but was an amazing vacation, and did get some nice shots so I'll probably make an episode or two :)
@@norwaywithpal We have insane amount of Bjørnebær at my cabin, and with some ice cream... holy moly 🤣👏🏻 Hahaha, I know all about that. Can you please put that camera down and focus on something else. So I have more or less quit filming when on family trips. They don't want to be exposed like that, so I respect that and film when I'm alone 🤣 But I shoot alot of b-rolls when I'm on trips like that. Can't wait to see more sailing stuff as well, I really love that stuff.
Hi there, a stove is not a problem as long as it’s not an open fire . The general prohibition is until 15th of September. But you can for instance make open fire if it’s been raining a lot or you are not close to any areas with high risk of forest fire. The law is not so rigid and open for some interpretation aka common sense :)
Hi Pål, I'm not from Europe. So, how do you get access to the forest? Don't forest guards stop you from entering? And is Norway really remote and only few people live in vast expanse like the one here? Finally, what happens to all these places when winter comes?
Hi Abhy, those are interesting questions. The forest is all accessible by the public here. There is no such thing as forest guards, you can enter any forest and pick berries and hike and camp. Norway have larger cities, but it’s one of the least densely populated countries in Europe, so there is a lot of open land and countryside.
Hi José, many places. You could go to lillomarka. Take the metro to Grorud and walk towards Steinsbruvann and into the forest from there. Or were you thinking further outside of Oslo?
Hei, ikke sikker om du fortsatt svarer på kommentarene men jeg har lyst å prøve å plukke litt tyttebær/blåbær som aktivitet med barn. Ganske sikker jeg klarer å finne blåbær i Østmarka, men er det også mulighet for tyttebær der eller er det litt feil skogtype?
Both are an informal greeting. But Heisann would translate to something like "Hi there".. Hei hei, hey hey.. Both of these greetings sound cheerful to us. And informal.
@@norwaywithpal i was afraid exactly that one... We have it to, that is why i am affraid to pick blueberrys in the forest. It is dadly if it bite you. Hilsen fra Slovenia 😊
@@missPolShe aha, I've heard its only deadly if you have a bad allergy. For most people its like being stung by a bie. I've personally never seen one, and I spend a lot of time in the forest
