Sweden - A Journey to the Wilderness Road - Part 1.

We head to Sweden for a 15 night overland trip to southern Lapland, the route north took us from Hull to Zeebrugge, then a full days driving to Lubeck where we caught a Finnline ferry to Malmo and then journeyed up through southern Sweden to the forests of central Sweden.
There's not much off-road in this series, the routes we took were mainly sealed roads but we searched out forest tracks when and where we could. Nevertheless, it was a great journey which focused upon wild camping in the wilderness and just generally enjoying the outdoors.
We hit a few cold weather fronts but that was half of the fun! This was our second time in Scandinavia and each time it has delivered a great overland trip. Sweden is definitely worth a visit.
I use the Helko Werk Black Forest Hatchet in this video - you can buy one from the Europe Overland Ebay shenanigans here -www.ebay.co.uk...
You'll be buying direct from myself and the small amount of profits we make go into my beer money fund for travelling, and the general upkeep of the channel, but mainly my beer money fund.
Hope you enjoy the series!

Your channel is awesome, educative and brilliant. Being from Canada, we're used to wild camping and overland, and I found exactly what I was searching for a possible Europe trip. Many thanks!

Cheers David! Scandinavia is a great place to travel through. I envy you living in Canada with all that vast empty wilderness 👍

What an absolutely fantastic video! I am very fussy about what I watch on youtube nowadays, but this ticked every box for me.. great filming editing and informative. Total pleasure to watch and enjoy. You really deserve many more subscribers and views ... hope you get them. I really hope that one day i can do a similar adventure. Best wishes Vee

I’m a little late to watching this series. Really fantastic videography and narration. Ties it all together and makes us feel like we are there. That part with the water “looks like piss” almost spat my tea out laughing. Megan said exactly the same thing. We really want to do the wilderness road next year so that is really helpful. Thanks for filming

The water in some streams is brown due to high levels of iron in the ground. It's safe to drink.

@wat_joe_do2179 4 года назад

No. It's not from iron. It's from the moss it's been filtered through. Usually white moss. White moss functions as a cleaner, but gives the water that colour. If you put white moss and charcoal in a tube you built your self a water purification filter.

@nesta8273 3 года назад

People like you two thrive off the "allemansrätten"-law here in Sweden and its amazing to see how people are using it to explore. To us, the older population of Sweden, the Allemansrätten-law is like the constitution to americans. Hopefully the younger population looks at it the same way, something to be proud over and let others take advantage of for both mental happiness and stimulation for the body. I know this is 2 years ago but during these Corona times, i do think its more important now then ever to do something to remove yourself from the mentally challenge we face by being locked up at home. Stay safe.

@Adventure-Outdoors 3 года назад

Cheers Nesta! Yes the allemanstratten law is great; definitely something worth protecting. I noticed how much the Swedes respect the outdoors; there was no mess or vandalism; the opposite of what happens here in the uk. I'm really looking forward to returning as soon as I can. All the best 👍

@shelbyshadow91 5 лет назад

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. I live in the US, in northern Minnesota. I have been lamenting the passing of favorable camping weather. You have inspired me to get out there and enjoy the late Autumn weather before it really gets too cold. Thanks again, and keep the wonderful videos coming. Happy travels to you both!

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it's definitely worth getting out in the Autumn weather, there's an old saying that goes 'theres no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes' which is almost true! The 5 minutes it takes to get into bed, and the 5 minutes it takes to get out of bed are the worst I find, all the best and safe travels!

@regina3045 5 лет назад

@kclyons 5 лет назад

Very happy that I stumbled upon this series. I am moving from the United States to Germany in August, and was skeptical that it would be worth it to bring my 4Runner (Hilux Surf) and rooftop tent to Europe. This series has proven that there is abundant overland travel opportunities all over. Can't wait to see for myself very soon!

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Cheers Kyle! It might take a bit more effort to find wilderness here in Europe compared to the USA but it’s out there. Germany is a good place to be, you’ll have north, east, west and Southern Europe to explore 👍.

Welcome back & wow ! Editing & voiceovers are bang on my friend. I’m going to enjoy this series, particularly with a touch of bushcraft thrown in. We’re looking a Norway in April & some new vehicle preps underway for that. Your trip resonates of beautiful Scotland. People still laugh when we tell them we take a full duvet and our own pillows! The advantages of a RTT! “It looks like piss” 😂😂😂

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Cheers! There's nothing like camping with a duvet, I just wish we remembered the hot water bottles for this trip!

I heard what you said about going of season. But first week of September and 2nd week of October is the prime moose hunting weeks. Expect forest roads like these to have a decent amount of trafic as people posting up for the hunt.

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Yeah we visited between those times, the last few days of our trip we saw a few hunters along the forest roads. Next time I think we'll visit before the hunt starts in September, it might be a bit warmer in late august too! 👍

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Hi John, yeah we've invested in some good equipment, I find that it pays for itself in the long run. The initial investment may be high but I'm confident that the gear will last me 15-20 years easy enough. All the best!

@TvanBoven 5 лет назад

If I am not mistaken the waterfall is in Fulufjället National Park. I remember visiting that park about ten years ago with my future wife. We were doing a hike and we heard the call of the wolves in the far distance ... Unbelievable. We are going back there next summer with our kids. This series comes at the right time as we are preparing our trip. And I fully agree with the rest of the comments. Great filming, beautiful shots, good editing ... a joy to watch.

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Thanks! Yeah we fitted a swing arm bumper, which enabled me to get the spare wheel out from underneath the vehicle. I haven't upgraded the suspension yet but it's on the list, I went through a process of trying to lighten the load that we were carrying, although I'm not sure if I managed to shed more than 20KG but I tried!

Great video that made me fall in love with my country all over again! Hot tip (pun!) from a Swede: I'm like you - I don't like sleeping bags. The best thing you can buy to keep warm is sheep skins. Sleeping on the wollen side will help you stay warm and toasty. As with almost everything - nature does things better. ;)

Thanks Suzie, we’re currently canoe camping in Scotland and we’re sleeping on sheepskins! (With 2 wool blankets and a sleeping bag, toasty).

@discovering_adventures 5 лет назад

@@Adventure-Outdoors In all honesty, no nothing for sure. I've considered a cold trip like this but always been a bit apprehensive as to how long I could fight the cold. Preparation is key with a trip like this. Unfortunately I'm not in the same boat as you and my wife has different interest to me (I love the solitude and peace, she happily spends time chatting with friends), so I travel alone in my vehicle but also travel in tandem with a friend with similar attitudes to me. If a trip does come into fruition it will more than likely be southern Portugal

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

This trip did take a bit of extra thought that’s for sure! It was ok 95% of the time, just the mornings that were a bit of a struggle. It’s a shame your wife isn’t in to overlanding, although it’s thoroughly understandable; it’s not everyone’s idea of a holiday! Portugal sounds good.......guaranteed sunshine, cheap booze, great food, plenty of trails 👍.

@discovering_adventures 5 лет назад

Second the previous comments, envious currently looking for a very similar vehicle to prep myself. Love the idea of that getting away from the rat race with the Mrs, well I have to say that lol. your roof rack set up is interesting I've not yet seen a rack to suit that roof top tent to also attach the wrap round awning. let alone that top box. questions questions not even got the car yet lol. Any way guys enjoy this new adventure stay safe on those tracks and remember where you put the bear spray😉 cheers!

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Cheers Kevin! Thanks for commenting. My roof top set up is a right hash to be honest, the tent sits on the canopy on top of 2 frontrunner roof bars, but the awning is attached to 2 Thule bars which are bolted directly to the canopy rails, it's a right mess but it works OK Lol.

In Sweden you have to keep your headlights on you'r car on all the time, even during day, there is a fine if you don't. Sounds crazy I know but it's proven that others can spot your car early.

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

I know. I had them on all the time apart from once or twice on dirt roads where we’d turned the engine off to get out of the car and film for a few moments.

@Adventure-Outdoors 5 лет назад

Cheers Graham! Yeah I'd definitely recommend the Cook Partner Stove, I've got the 22" version. It's big enough to get two frying pans on and it's built like a tank. I bought mine direct from the USA, the postage cost a bomb but it still worked out cheaper than what I could get it for in the UK. They're definitely an investment but they should last for decades.
