Escape To A Snowy Winter Wonderland In This Forest Cabin In Norway - Part.3 

The final part! Hope you enjoyed this mini series in Norway - thanks to all who watched and commented 🌲

I could live in a place like that forever. I like it quiet and secluded. Simple. Little interaction with the outside world. Healing. Your videos radiate peace and relaxation and remind me again of what is important to me. thank you for that🙏

A great series of videos with the opening drone shots really beautiful. I agree completely with ALL your comments regarding land use and land rights in Scotland. Modern Norway as we know it now is the result of not only the recent huge oil wealth but from the working class struggles of the 1930s where the power of the 1% elite were removed from positions of power and influence in land owning rights, farming, industry and in government. The result of this struggle has resulted in the high degree of democracy and economic justice which continues to steer the country today. This is why they are a successful independent country. Now look at Scotland ...

Brilliant series of your Norway 🇳🇴 trip, as always Sam, entertaining and informative. Nice one fella 😊👊🌟

Thanks for that beautiful view up the top. Wow. Don't think I would have wanted to leave. Very enjoyable. Thanks Sam look forward to the next.❤

Very interesting seeing the animal tracks in the snow.. the little ones so cute. 5 days without seeing another soul - bliss 🙂

Hi sam loved your trip to Norway 🇳🇴 what great content for the channel mate very informative as usual keep up the great work mate. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Those snow-crunching sounds are larger than life, Sam, so much so that all I could see throughout much of this video was the post-production stage with you squatting in front of your laptop and scrunching Rice Krispies wrapped in a tea towel in time with your on-screen footfall! As for the Forest Thoughts, well rarely have you been so animated. I fact, 'vast' at 24.10 reminded me of the old joke about the fisherman on the phone in the telephone box bragging about his catch, flinging out his arms to demonstrate the (exaggerated) size of the fish, smashing the glass windows left & right … and slashing his wrists. Good thing the cabin was bigger than a phone box. Good thing, too, that you're home - otherwise you might well morph into the sort of over-confident extrovert that those who follow you really wouldn't want you to be. 😜Excellent mini-series - many thanks for sharing the experience! Postscript: re your discussion of Scottish land ownership, today's Guardian (14/03/24) carried a really interesting report on the impending land reform bill which may force anyone selling an estate of more than 1000 ha to split it into smaller lots: "Scottish lairds may be forced to break up estates during land sales". All is far from lost …

Loved pt 3. Your description of the trees present in the area was spectacular. Going uphill with snowshoes is a fun experience. A question? Does the slower growth in the spruce higher up make them more dense? Thx for sharing your experience!!!

Very nice ending. Thank you very much for all the interesting information and thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼😊

I love seeing your perspective of what we (Norwegians) take for granted! We have a long tradition for building and owning small cabins in the wild. These days they are solely for recreational purposes, but they also have been used for a safe haven when travelling over the mountains, hunting and berry-picking. Unfortunately nowadays people build big house-sized cabins with all the facilities, in what we call cabin cities in the mountains, and we rapidly loose too much wild nature to greedy developers...and the local governments too often approve on the destruction of new areas to cabin building. (As a land-owner in Norway, you are not allowed to make huge impact on vulnerable areas without approvement from the authorities. Most of the mountainous areas are owned by the people, and either managed by the state or local mountain governs) The area you were in is most likely an old cabin area, where the cabins are smaller, more spread out and hidden from sight. Usually you don't own the land, but buy or rent a fixed spot on where you are allowed to build your cabin. I hope that was helpful? 🙂 The tracks you followed looked like a big fox. Lynx prints would have been more round in shape and most often no visible claw marks, wolverine has two big front paws with five toes (like a bear) and claws and småller hind legs and it mostly runs in small jumps, not a trot. And a wolf has a lot bigger paws and stride length. 🙂

Looked like a great trip and thanks for sharing. I have travelled to Norway a few times and always loved it. That said, i always fancied a couple of nights in one of US fire watch towers during winter.

Absolute belter of a series bud. Thanks for pointing out where you were, it looks like the most affordable way of getting myself and the boss into Norway for a play. Looking forward to the next video. 👍

Beautiful videos! So glad to see you enjoying our country and nature:) Hope to have u back soon!

Wow, talk about a dream destination… picture perfect and peaceful… back to nature and taking it all in!! The life hey…. I am always so envious of countries like this… that makes the outdoors part and parcel of your daily life/lifestyle too, that is, if you want/or are interested in that outdoor recreational living … The affordability and accessibility to such places/areas …it’s like a wow 🤩 starry eyed moment … but then the realisation hits you… the restrictions we have where we live … the grossly overpriced and most times unattainable dream, of being able to afford to buy a small plot/piece of land, build a cabin/cottage/tiny home and live off the land… which is my ultimate dream.. but alas… you said it perfectly in your forest thoughts 💭 100% … I could go on and on about these wealthy landowners/grabbers … BUT I’ll 🤐

I always enjoy your videos, and I know exactly what you mean when you say you have not seen anyone for days, I've lived in a park home in a town for 4 years It's lovely but you feel hemmed in. Long story short, I'm up for sale and hoping to move back into the countryside which is where my place of work is, Just managed to get a large allotment surrounded by fields one of 14, i used to have one there over 5 years ago. Half of it is going to be strictly for nature with a pond ,the other half for vegetables. That's my little piece of heaven. I expect your'e back now and planning your next trip. thanks so much for sharing 😊

It is interesting when you talk about the lack of public access to land in Scotland. I think a big reason that u find all this free and accessible nature in Norway is what is called the Free Roaming Law, which grants every citizen access to nature as long as u are not in someones backyard:) The woods u are currently in is most likely private own but this law ensure ur rights to freeely use it as long as u treat it with respect etc.

Great vid. May I ask you how did you find this cabin and how much it cost? I know DNT cabins in Norway, but this one is something else. Thanks.
