How and why I bought a $30K house in Wild Sweden 

Squirrels are so cute, I love them.

That's a clever comment!

You better get some protection for yourself. Because if the black and brown migrants in sweden find out your location you will get visits from them... like in south africa white farmers get visited by blacks. Guess what happens to the farmers if they don't have guns and other forms of protection ???? White farmers in south africa get K _ _ Led look up FARMLANDS (2018) | Official Documentary

Oh sounds so nice. I have Astrid Lindgren's book "Mitt Småland". A Great book and reminds me my childhood in Finland.

Used to live in a small town called Mullsjö, on the outskirts there was a road that you would pretty much always see deer and sometimes moose next to. It's a smaller road that runs a bit parallel with the road 47 (southeast of VIP hotell) and goes past a small place called Västerkärr. Ironically, the same road was in the news for having a dude with insane christmas lights setup. People slowed down to look at it to the point of it almost becoming a traffic hazard 🤣, he paid like several hundred dollars just to those light on for like a month. Ive seen moose in Mullsjö itself, close to the elljusspår. Me and a friend where out walking when a female moose trotted across our dirt path. Think it was maybe one meter in front of me, was quite awesome to see such animals up close.

literally half of america

I second the opinion of the paddles, paddling with oars seems very uncomfortable. As for life vests though, due to experience, I know that they can cause more harm than good, there's always a risk of a loose strap or some part of the vest catching onto something making you fall. Not a huge risk in a canoe, more so on a sailing boat, on the other hand, falling off a canoe is quite less likely than doing so on a sailing boat.

Life vest is a must on a canoe or a boat. It is a sensible choice that may one day save your life. Never seen a Swede go out on a boat without a life vest.

@@Raj-nh3fc Perhaps you haven't done much boating? Life vests in general are like bike helmets, you put them on children but not on adults albeit some do. I have about 50 years of experience of sailing/canoeing, and have experienced some of the problems a life vest can cause, including falling into the water, getting spine or neck injuries when falling into the water, tripping or falling down, not being able to handle a situation quickly enough, getting stuck when climbing up the rig. I'm not saying that they're bad, just that they can also cause problems. ETA: Life vests, or any protective gear for that matter, can also give a false sense of protection, making you take more risks, I've seen it happen many times

@@matshjalmarsson3008 I agree. But canoes are not very swedish, we use a "roddbåt", and you can put an outboard on it as well as row. And as an adult if i go fishing i never wear a life west.

@@Ecthelion1967 Weell I'm not so sure about that. My father built a canoe when I was a kid and we had several trips with it, and in my school we had canoe trips too. Sure, we used rowing boats too, but not nearly as much (you do realize that I'm Swedish?)

Probably just a few hours old. If even that. I would guess less then 3 hours old. Moose calfs can walk instantly.

@@Skuggan84 Little moose calf was sure trying on wobbly legs.

@@le_th_ yeah. Thats why i think it was very very young. Hadnt found it's strength yet :)

What part does she live?

Yes there are a lot of germans and Dutch here that move or get a summer house! I know at least five and one Englishman in my village of 350 persons 😆 Nice they appreciate the values in form of space, freedom, nature aso that are up here !

@@rikardnorlen752 still nice in the rural areas, most city's though are destroyed by mu$l1m 1mm1gr@nts

GDJE RADE I OD ČEGA ŽIVE TI LJUDI AKO VAM NIJE TEŠKO ODGOVORITI .😊

Why are younisomg oars to paddle a canoe?! They do make actual canoe paddles. Learn a few paddle strokes like the J, draw, skul, and Canadian. For flat water (lakes), that's all you need 😊

any way to describe the differences to a yank? I’ve only been to places that speak the romance languages

Just came across her video and I think I can sort out the two querys you had about her video. The driving thing is just that she is driving on a rather small, slim forest roads. We see two different roads in the video. The first one has a left and a right "lane"(they are wheeltracks on a dirt road but you know what I mean) but we never see her drive on it in the video. The second road has a single "lane" and this is the one we see her actually driving on. That is clear both by how close the forest edge is to her driver side window and by the fact that we see the road in her rear window at one point. I get the confusion though since the road that is very clearly seen for a long period of time is the two "lane" one and that is shown shortly prior to her driving with the forest right next to her driving side window and you have that strong memory that already connect Sweden and left side driving. What she probably (99% certain since they are so common here) meant when she said that she just heard her first cuckoo was that it was the first cuckoo she's heard for the year. The cuckoo is a migratory bird that leaves Sweden at the earliest in July and at the latest in September for eastern Africa and they return to Sweden in May. That's why hearing a cuckoo is a sign that it is proper early summer. I don't know if she knows about this but there is an old saying about how the first call that you hear from a cuckoo in the spring is prophetic concerning the rest of the year. It's not so much the cuckoo itself that is important but from what direction/cardinal point you hear the call. The saying in Swedish goes "Södergök är dödergök, Västergök är bästergök, Östergök är tröstegök och Norrgök är sorggök", a local change is instead "Norregök är torregök". It translates to "Southern cuckoo is a death cuckoo, Weastern cuckoo is the best cuckoo, Eastern cuckoo is a comforting cuckoo and Northern cuckoo is a mourning cuckoo", the local change is "Northern cuckoo is a dry cuckoo". It was believed that this rhyme was an indication of what would befall you during the rest of the year, now it's just a fun thing to note. I hope this makes sense, take care.

Come here to Turkey. Amazing here

Truth. Egg thieves have been caught in Norway as well the eggs were bound for the Middle East.

What a wonderful attitude~

nice touch to have Plupp as an avatar, one of my favorite figures in the Scandinavian child's literature. The other one is Mumin. I agree with what you say. Even if my wife comes from Jämtland, unlucky for job/family issues we live near Stockholm, but when we can we are out and about taking time in nature.

Thank you for your comment! I never thought about photography like that. Maybe I should give it a try.

How did you get residency?

​@@inputimmersion9577yes... I would like to know that too

Yes I also would like to know?

@@inputimmersion9577 @Steve98345 @netayconnection6236 I am fortunate to have a German passport as well as British. My wife only has a British passport, but honestly, without the German passport, it would have been extremely difficult as we don't have a pile of cash behind us, and it took me a little while to find my feet, work wise.

Yes. We just used what was available when we rented the canoe

And now Kalix has fallen because of multi culture..

Kalix is near Finland so no surprise multiculture happened, those Finns are funny!

@@dallysinghson5569 I didnt know Finns were sub saharan africans from Somalia etc.

We would love to move there also but we on British passport. I heard if it’s not EU passport it can be difficult. May I ask was it hard to move there or are you on EU passport ?

@@Lauren-mq6qf I have a EU passport and I came only after getting a contract (I work at the university and I did my interview via zoom) If at least one of you manage to find a job/job offer (especially for specialized job) then it should be doable. Good luck!

@@ireat thank you for replying and good to know. Enjoy beautiful Sweden 🇸🇪

what motherland? you swedes have surrenderd it to the foreigners long ago! it can all be so beautiful, but if you don't hurry up and conquer your land back.... then this beauty means nothing.

Sweden has in the big cities the same problems like Germany, England, etc. with the terror-migration...

@@VickyGermanPowerMusicWhen it comes to access to nature, there is a remarkable difference when comparing Swedish cities to say German cities. In Stockholm for example, one can get from anywhere out into the nature for a proper hike within 30 minutes. Even less if you count in nature reserves like Hagaparken or Djurgården, which lie right in the city. Not sure what that political remark has to do with this video at all, feels kind of random to drop that like that.

I once studied Swedish for a year and considered emigrating there. I can't evaluate a country without its politics. And pretty much everyone knows that Sweden is a wonderful country. But not everyone knows what's going on there in terms of crime and enormous sexual assaults on Swedes by migrants. If that doesn't interest you, then that's your superficial attitude. And I know this information from organic Swedes. I am Jewish and not a Nazi. And you can find out more information for yourself or ignore it. @@Andre-ct4fq

Dude is walking about wildlife and you had to drop in your immigrant agenda >_

Welcome to Germany where is no place you can escape from people --.-

Yes we do get lonely, hence why we go swimming several times a week.

WE DON`T WANT YOU HERE IN SWEDEN, NOT IN ANY PART OF OUR COUNTRY!!! Africa is many times larger than the whole of Europe, stay there, or if you are here already, RETURN!!!

Well before you move north you gotta change that profile picture and club my guy

Not at all ;) Was AIK before I moved south and will be when I move back north :) @@clanker3967

ah except you didn't really talk about that, I should have watched the whole video before commenting, would be interesting to see a video on that if you feel up for sharing, like how did the visa situation work for you?

It’s really boring so I’d rather answer it here. I applied for a self-employed residency and my partner, Juan joined my application as my partner. We created a business proposal with links to videos and existing businesses. After waiting 12 months and not hearing a response, we went to the migration office and they said we can apply for a case closure. And basically within a month they will have to close our case. And the next week we got a migration officer who contacted us for our current bank statements and then the next week we had a residency cards made 😂 No interview. That’s it.

@@DaniConnorWild Wow that's great, thanks for the reply and info, really appreciate it, I didn't know about self-employed residency as an option, glad to hear it worked out for you and it went through easily in the end, happy times😀👍

Good luck and welcome 🤩

@@DaniConnorWild Hi there! It is a pleasure to watch your life in nature :) I have always wondered how you make a living? Your Income? or are your man working and have a job?

Maybe alces alces to definy it exactly?

IS that in Sweden. ?

@@holoholopainen1627 No, 350 kilometers from Helsinki.

+1 and then you have the amazing cloud berries (hjortron) and the super amazing field berries (åkerbär) :-)

@@Novation681 Yea but you gotta go through swampy areas for that, pain in the butt

I would argue you DONT have to keep an eye out for bears, at least not out of fear.

Try to look for some propper cano padels instead of the "åror" for a boat that you are using in this video. Padels are not as heavy and will make your canoingtrips much easier. Välkommen till Sverige

Do you know that the name of the berry Lingon is a Swedish word? in Sweden they say just Lingon -berry for all kinds of berry. So the name Lingonberries comes from Sweden :) hello from Norway

You can find some rural houses in southern Sweden at that price. I found one last week that was going for $45k.

You are correct we bought ours for that price backing onto forest and between 2 lakes under 2 hours from Gothenburg. Very similar to yours 👍 And we have squirrels on the garden and there's an albino in the village 😊

Well, yes, but that's what I consider to be remote areas. 😉 I just wanted to point out that these prices aren't the norm. There are huge variations depending on location. You wont find anything like that within an hour from Uppsala for instance. But in the west (Värmland), close to Norway, you can find very cheap houses, but that's pretty rural and far off, even if it's in the southern half.

Whereabout- Van Island ?

@@holoholopainen1627 No. Mainland

Well I assume she can swim and she's always near the shore, so don't make a big deal out of it.

And obviously they cannot paddle properly with rowwingboat oars. Give the right exampl! Because I have to assist dozens of tourist without life jackets and without any knowledge of open water. Just because the experts do it that way.
