Great walk thru of how we do it Robert! Leave all places in better shape than you found it! Clean area and take the garbage with you. Very professional 👌🏻🔥🤠❤️🇸🇪
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..
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!
You are so professional with a lot more than just the riding part which of course is the best:-). Thanks for all your information you provide us with. Keep up the good work all of you.
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).
Very useful video. I am going to ride the Swedish TET (up&down) from Slovakia next year. So this helped a lot with planing. See you around and thank you for the hints ✌
Thank you for yet another great video. You are creating entertaining, interesting and relevant content - and your productions keeps getting better. Keep up the good work!
"Being right is not important ", this sounds poetical ...I will explain this to my German boss..:) But now talking seriously, your video is really good...!!Thanks so much for the valuable tips. In fact, we should behave like this everywhere.. Great video...!
I moved to Sweden this month and you just answered all the questions I had before watching! Thank you incredibly much, I cannot wait before I get my motorbike here. She is still in the Netherlands and she will come to Sweden via Mongolia. (Yes you read that correctly :D)
excellent guide -- thank you very much! I'm new to biking (2 years of riding, pretty much your age, I think) but i have some experience if Sweden. My grandparents built a little stuga in Hallands Laen, which thankfully is still in the family. As soon as i can get there, I will go. Between lockdowns and a few other obstacles, its been difficult for a while now. So for me, this video alone is a tremendous resource. Thanks again!
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.
Excellent how to ride Sweden. Thanks so much for the great information. I always wanted to do a ride from UK to Nordkapp and now will be on my adventure bike not my road bike.
A great help this video. Of course, although it is common sense to respect other people and their place of residence, it never hurts to remember it. I hope to one day be able to travel those roads and gravel roads, when this Covid-19 ends and if I'm still alive, haha. Thank you very interesting information and take care.
Nice video! I'm planning trips to Scandinavië when its allowed again. You gave some great tips so i dont annoy the locals and make sure we can all keep enjoying the nature and freedom !
Bra och intressant video även om man själv redan vet allt detta. ☺️☺️ Det kan dock också bero på att man är ADV-nörd och älskar att drömma sig bort. Haha!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Robert for all these Informations. It will help me for my Trip through Danmark and Sweden to Norway next jear (if the Covid Situation is under control) . Thanks a lot !
Jeah, that is true. But remember. I have to go to Dialysis every Monday, Wednesday and Frieday. On these days i can't practice the physical distancing. I hope there is a chance next jear to find a Dialysis Center in Sweden and Norway that make a Holliday Dialysis for me.
The map resources are really incredible. However if i was foreign i would probably bring a little cash. Some places wont take card and only an app called Swish, and since you cant get that as a foreigner it might be a good idea to have enough cash for a meal or an emergency
Great information, love the shelters. They wouldn't work in my part of the world as they would be graffited, then trashed and burnt to the ground. We are not allowed to leave Australia because of Covid, but would be in Sweden in an instant if we could.
Thank you very much for the video, it's very informative and well made! One thing though, you seem to have missed to censor your contacts when you opened the map on your phone
Thanks! The max limit of dB is quite high. Around 90 depending on motorcycle. However if you want to ride in nature you will meet people and ride close to farms and houses. There you want to be a silent as possible.
I wish we had this polite manors in Canada. In Canada we have laws that respect to the landowners and lots of trails and gravel roads are closed and private. Sweden is better!
Yes Sweden is unique when it comes to freedom in nature. It works pretty well as long as the forest,animals and land owners get the respect they deserve!
You will do well with English in Sweden. I almost want to say that you will not run into someone who does not know English. Maybe someone, but you can count them between your thumb and forefinger. ;) Stay safe and welcome
Amazing video. Actually it motivated me and my friends to come over for a week or so. Next year Covid permitting... However one thing I am missing here is where can we rent bikes. Pretty hard to ship our big bikes... Thanks!
Hey Robert. Thanks for your answer. Another thing is a comment, which i left on your video "motoberfest", two days ago. Maybe you read this someday and there i wish you the best to risen numbers of Subcribers...Always ride safe.
Proffsigt Robert!! Och bra reklam för underbara Sverige!!Lyckas dock inte få in kartorna i Topo på Ios? Kanske är GURU bästa lösning? Är oxå mobilnavigerare. Aldrig känt behov av dedikerad gps för en massa pengar.
Tackar! Jag skaffade just en begagnad Android-telefon att använda enbart som hoj-navigering. Där kör jag "Drive Mode Dashboard" och "Locus Maps Pro". Till detta även en remote kontroller som styr mobilen från vänster handtag på hojen. Kommer bli grymt. Video kommer på det när jag har alla delar. (Android är ett krav för dessa appar och kontrollen) Mobil navigering rockar. :) Angående Topo GPS-appen så har den inte samma stöd för externa kartor. På iOS är det Guru Maps Pro som är bäst i min mening.
If there is no sign of forbidden traffic, only a gate... you can go. Often people put up gates without permission. And normally its not motorbiles they want to keep out. Its mostly motorhomes etc they want to block.
Great informative video, does the Swedish TET cover just the gravel roads or is there a few of the dotted line routes you mentioned would be great to combine a visit to your country with SKOG event you have
Hello Robert. Allways great Information. After i watched a lot of your Videos, i hoped to get some Informations about riding in sweden and stay overnight in these Shelters. Now, Taa...Taaa..there it is. Thank you so much. Did you or your friends ever met moose oder brown bear running over the street, where you were driving oder where you have been camping? Of Course, you as a swedish ambassador of respect have, for sure, the skills to whisper to them and they will move there way...;-)....but seriously, what have you done, not to get in difficult Situations?
Hi and thanks! We never met a Brown Bear, but my friends have. Moose is very common so that's not a problem. They run away. Not sure we have any special skills though. :)
Bears exsist in the area Where i live. But i newer see them, only tracks (à few times). The animals dont Want to meet you ;-). Mosse are more common but you probably newer se them ether. But you don’t want to crash in to one;-)
Mosquitos are worse up north. "They generally appear around mid-June and disappear again towards the end of September, with numbers lowest at the beginning and end of the season".
Är det någon som vet om det finns någon bra kart app som man kan använda om man vill hitta dom sköna grusvägarna dels den ni rekommenderar i videon och att det går att ladda över resan i sin Garmin (BMW) navigator IV via basecamp ?
Jag rekommenderar den i videon helt klart. Eller Locus maps om du har Android. Alla appar importerar gpx-filer för att få in spår, rutter och platser. Basecamp kan exportera till gpx. Sen skickar du bara gpx-filen till mobilen och öppnar. Finns nog videos på youtube hur man gör om du söker. Jag använder inte basecamp själv.
Where I live Long Island, NY there are no off road trails that are legal. We have had trails in the past but unfortunately it only takes a few bad eggs to ruin it for everyone else.I find it funny they can have golf courses putting chemicals into the ground and cesspools everywhere but god forbid you take a motorized bike through the woods!!!
