This comment is for anyone laying in bed, listening to this music and currently struggling with mental health issues. I want you to know you have made it this far, despite all your falllbacks, you are here, you are alive, it won't always be this difficult and you are more powerful than you realise. I love you and keep going 💙💙💙
There is just something so very ‘right’ about what you do. This is how we are meant to live-semi-nomadic with nature not stuck in some urban jungle. We’ve definitely lost touch with the way we’re supposed to live. I think that’s why your videos are so popular-they strike a chord with something everyone is desperately missing. Thank you for your efforts.
ich bin ein alter knochen und ewig im wald unterwegs, aber deine videos zeigen immer wieder eine neue kreative variante, zum beispiel die herstellung des löffels - besten dank fürs mitnehmen!!!
That was a really sunny trip this time,after the long and cold swedish winter.Your videos are extremely interesting and relaxing,love that you bring always something new to the table.Ciao!
I have watched many bushcraft videos where the more the guy talks , you realize that he shouldn't even be left alone in a state park camp ground. This man says nothing and I gather so much knowledge, not to mention the peacefulness. Thanks swede! God Bless
Hi #Swedwoods. Really loved the business of the woods then that stunning visual changeup @52:37, wow! Thanks for the gear info, too as I've always liked that Trangia candle lantern. 👍🏼
I have to agree, if one can effectively communicate what you're doing or how to do it without saying a word it makes one's content easier to understand by everyone on the planet without need for translation. Plus, as you point out, the viewer can enjoy the sounds of nature and immerse ourselves as if we were there by ourselves. There aren't many RU-vidrs that do this.
Nice one brother Swed, well done. I just got back from a week in the southern Rocky Mountains(northern New Mexico)fishing the mountain rivers for rainbow, brook and brown trout. I still have the smell of fresh pines and campfires lingering and I come home to this video..wonderful. Everything looked good on your end, I had no doubt of course. Weather getting warmer and catching fish, life is good. Forgotten spoon, no problem just make a new one😉 Loadout was a plus. Great video as always, content and production, thanks for the trip. See ya next time.
Really cool tarp tent setups. The second one suits well with high winds due lower height. Food, shelters, hand-craft & handling all excellent and sustainable! Thank you, Janne/ Finland 👍👋
i just saw the first frames and realized I have to take a hour and a cup of coffee to focus on watching this whole thing without interruptions on a big screen...swedish zen for ya
When last out on an overnight camp, I slept under the stars, on a OneTigris cot using a -30 winter sleeping bag. At 6 AM I woke to a cold morning and was glad for the winter bag. Otherwise, I had the best night's sleep in a while. I love doing that kind of camping. Just take what I can carry in my pack. I usually carry a 3 x 3m DD tarp but not this time. With the way you camp in your videos I think we are of the same mind. In winter I use canvas tarps, and tents here in Canada. Thank you for your videos.
another brilliant one! hard to argue with sitting next to a tree for a few days....for the uninitiated non-scandinavian, the magical trick of getting sap out of a birch tree for liquid is something most kids learn growing up because we spend a fair bit of time in the wilderness and its a great source of sweet water but Swedwoods method is a level up! it should be said that his methods are maybe more a reminder that we should take the time to figure out how and what we want to do, and create our own solutions as we go..your moment of Zen..
Hi Stranger, It's 1 in the morning right now and I am thinking about how amazing it is that we can all share a moment here while you are reading this comment. Hello to the people reading this months or years later. I hope you all live a happy life and get through whatever you are going through. Life can be amazing if we choose to be kind and considerate for other human beings. You are all loved and I am proud to have this moment with you ❤
Dude, I've nicked so many ideas from you. Using the alpine kettle as a dual purpose water boiler + saucepan, the vegetable steamer as a fire rest, to name but two. Love your stuff. Please don't stop 😌
I’m so glad you did a great gear breakdown and told us the brand and model! I always overpack out of fearing I will need something, then my pack is always too heavy. Now seeing what you carry and you are able to do redefines what I need to carry! Thank you
I always make a kit list for every trip, then tick off all the stuff you actually used once you get home, after a while you will find the same things never gets used & I find it helps making the decision to leave it out of your pack the next time? Just my way.
Great Camping Adventure !! Beautiful Location. Everything Is Amazing So Comforting , Peaceful, Relaxing To Watch. You Are Seriously A Very Creative Man. Blessings My Friend From California.
Sorry I was out of town when this video hit, never commented. Glad the fish are back! Hope your summer is going splendidly! Look forward to your return to travels. Absolutely want you to have a fun with family, just want you to know you are missed.
No one else can underSTAND a life without living to be alive as your lovely recordings to be so real and calm without any unnecessary mıments to be tight in the nature. Greetings and thanks a lot 🎉❤
Wonderful video! Such beautiful old trees where you camped. Totally awestruck by the beauty of that forest. Just when I think you have outdone yourself, you come up with yet another masterpiece. Thanks for making my day brighter. Your backpack seemed bottomless! 😃😃
This was so relaxing and heartwarming. The sound of rain and your sound made my day. Everything look so aesthetic. II really loved it, and would love to go on solo camping like this
A lot of great tips in this one, Swedwood! I like how you started the coals back up w/your ferro rod... Didn't know it was so dry there already! Your new pack - it's _really_ nice! Amazing how much you can put in there. Thanks for showing everything; awesome vid! 👍👍👍
Another fabulous video, good to see what you carry, although I knew there would be no junk. Views of the forest with the sunlight between the trees are beautiful.👍
I like the serious woodsman knowledge you add to your video work such as the knife to draw liquid from a tree and others that are not frequently shown. Wonderful video, skills and scenery.
Thank you for spending an hour with us, as always, a nice journey you took us on. And thanks for sharing the contents of your backpack, interesting to see what you feel is necessary for a few days in the forest.
Love the channel! I have been recovering from an auto accident involving an elk! This has severely hampered my outdoor activity for the past several months. Channels such yours have helped me stay motivated! Many thanks and best wishes from Oklahoma!
Here’s a bit of a tip. If you dab superglue over the stitch, it’s stops the thread fraying. It works well for stitching on backpacks as well, practically anything really.
Good video Sweeds: I especially liked the part where You tried to start a fire with a stick and bowl ! Well, that didn't work 😅 No one is perfect! Ok, have a good day. See you in the next vid. Mike. 🇨🇦
@@Swedwoods If you ever decide to offer merch Swed, you should handcraft a bunch of these spoons & maybe forks to sell out here. I'd buy one if American $ were accepted.
Thanks for the load out. Your fire bowl, I always thought was a vegetable steamer that you stole from your wife's kitchen when she was not looking😂My wife had one that look just like that. Thanks for the video.
@Swedwoods I saw you use this creative idea awhile ago and went to my local second hand store and purchased a couple of on the cheap cheap and actually went out to try that in my local woods , impressive my friend , leave no trace ..
Sorry I’m way late . Looked like a good trip . Figured you’d be in the doghouse with the wife not bringing fish home . Most enjoyable to watch. Have a great evening
Молодец человек! Грамотное снаряжение, лёгкий вес, необходимые инструменты - всё продумано! Ложка из деревяшки - шедевр! Щучку надо было в углях с солью и перцем приготовить..😅 Следов не оставляете - респект! Ролик классный, без лишней болтовни! Хорошие у вас знания👍
Nice to see someone else use the sharpening stone scabbard as a strop, thought I was the only one. I even use compound on it sometimes when I'm feeling especially picky about the edge.😅
Used the leather pouch of my diamond stones for years as a strop, being a Carpenter/Joiner previously furniture maker it’s a great way to finish chisels marking knives and plane blades when on site. At home I keep a proper leather board strop with paste when I want to give my knives that extra special finish.
Well I posted some questions, and you answered them all at the end😆. Many thanks. Oh, I think the forest your in is probably the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
You being in nature makes nature so much better. You take good care of mother nature. And let the smaller fish go to grow bigger for next season. Great stuf.
Amazing what went into and what came out of that Z65. The Stainless Steel cookset 'could be' Helikon Tex. I have one and they look similar only mine is shining new - unused, but mine is 2 pots and a frying pan. I thought we were in for a PIKE Supper, but you let the guy go. Good test on the Moss - I wasn't expecting it to burn like that. Next trip will see the Mossies back in swarms no doubt.
Thanks , Thanks , Thanks , Thank you for this... the spoon making , the showing of knots and most importantly please 🙏 for future outdoorsy types " LEAVE NO TRACE " ..
There is no one better then swedwoods . Best bushcraft videos on RU-vid. I have a two night planned for next week . Going to use some tricks I got from your vids
Your supper looks delicious. Nothing better than the taste of camp cooking. I'm always super hungry being outside and working to get my site going. Sitting back with some bourbon cooking a fine supper makes me feel like a king.
I live watching your videos. I always learn something new. I will say that I was surprised that you carry 3 knives....all Mora of course. I was not surprised to see 3 fire starting tools. My dream vacation would be to spend 2 weeks in the Scandinavian wilderness with you and Nagularo.(May he rest in peace) that would be the best two weeks I could imagine. Well, maybe just behind the two weeks I'd spend trapped on an island with The Swedish Bikini Team. 5hat would be pleasant too. Thanks for making all your videos! I truly enjoy watching!
Again a very nice video. From watching your videos all these years I have a good idea about the beautiful landscape of Sweden. Thank you. It's only a two hour flight from the Netherlands to Sweden (€165), maybe I should go more often, and now not just to Stockholm.
I appreciate how you very your shelter set up, as well as well as the other many variations in your skills and techniques. Many thanks to you from Wyoming USA, friend!
