A short hike to a beautiful lake for an overnight stay. The temperature stayed above freezing during the day but crept below during the night and morning hours. Since I had a wood stove, I could stay warm and comfortable in the tent. It was two lovely days in nature with good food and drink. […]

I had heard of a cave that had an interesting story to tell. It was a fairly long hike to get to it but I didn’t know exactly where the entrance was. It took a while of searching before I found the small entrance to the cave. Once I got in, I saw a large […]

After a short but lovely paddling trip, we arrive at a nice campsite. It is already late in the afternoon so we barely have time to set up our hammocks and make a fire before darkness falls over the forest and lake. Since we stay at the campsite we found, we have plenty of time […]

Three days wild camping with my Swedish friends. Five guys and a golden retriever in the forest, a successful combination for relaxation and laughter. We had plenty of food and drink with us to make it as pleasant as possible. Four of us sleep in hammocks and the guy with the dog sleeps in a […]

Hammock camping in strong winds means that you must choose your campsite carefully. After a while searching in the woods, we found a reasonably sheltered place to hang our hammocks. We chose to build our fireplace closer to the water even though it was windier there. We had a very relaxing day with food, spruce […]

Camping with my new hot tent some windy and chilly spring days. It was a good test to find out how the tent worked when it was windy and how effective the stove was in this cold weather. Everything works beyond expectations and I enjoyed the protection and warmth that the tent provided. There will […]

These are absolutely wonderful days to camp in the woods. Waking up in the morning lighting the wood stove, baking bread that you […]

A wonderful winter day in the woods. The snow increases as I walk through the winter landscape and when I start building my tarp shelter it snows intensely. With the help of eight larger sticks and two tarps, I build this Tipi tent. A fireplace in the middle of the shelter allows me to cook […]

Solo camping in a beautiful winter landscape is a wonderful experience. It starts calmly and peacefully but pretty soon the snow and wind started to increase in intensity. I just managed to get the tent up and could take the opportunity to make a good Goulash soup. The snow and wind continued during the night […]

After some paddling we find a perfect campsite with a little beautiful beach. The first goal was to make a fire to be able to make some coffee. We hung up our hammocks so they were prepared for the night’s sleep. We also stayed the next day and night and enjoyed life all alone in […]

Solo camping on a cliff top with an absolutely stunning view. Good food and a cup of coffee alone in this beautiful place was a wonderful experience.

Relaxing river canoe trip in the wilderness with my wife. We started in a small lake that led us to the river. The river meanders through a very beautiful forest landscape. The current made it a very easy paddling that gave us time to enjoy the wonderful nature and its wildlife. We went ashore and […]

A beautiful spring day alone in the wilderness. I take material from a fallen tree to make a Swedish torch. The variant I make is hollow but with a closed bottom and a hole far down for air supply. I fill it with small dry birch bark to get a quick start of the fire. […]

Winter is fading and spring is struggling to make its entrance. The ice on the lake melts slowly and the sun warms more every day. A good day for a hike out into nature. I build a comfortable chair from some sticks and ropes, and soften the seat surface with my sheepskin. A hanging device […]

A wonderful winter day for cross country skiing on a frozen lake. I was all alone in the wilderness on this cold but sunny February day. I made my way easily over the lake with my old retro skis and boots to a sunny place along the beach. I made some cinnamon buns that taste […]

Solo winter camping in a beautiful snowy forest. The silence is total when the snow muffles all sound, you only hear your own footsteps when you walk through the winter landscape. Hot food and a cup of  good coffee keep the warmth and mood up. The silence, the darkness and the cold and fresh air […]

A cold but lovely winter day in the wilderness. The ice on the lake has begun to settle and the ground has hardened by the cold. The air is fresh and everything is quiet and still. I make a feeding platform for the forest birds of a firewood from birch. It does not take long […]

A nice walk through the forest via a beautiful stream and on to a distant lake. All alone in the wilderness for a day, what a relaxation. It is late autumn and the air is cold and fresh. You only hear a few birds and the crackling of the fire. A hamburger cooked over an […]

Kayaking in the Swedish archipelago with friends is a fantastic experience. It is a simple and comfortable paddling where we get between the small islands and we are lucky with the weather because it is calm. We find an island where there are enough trees that we can hang our hammocks on. We cook over […]

Hiking to a beautiful lake in the Swedish wilderness and on my way I found both a lot of cowberry and chanterelles. I first build a fireplace and then a tripod chair with a piece of cloth I had with me. I fry the chanterelles over the fire and make a good chanterelle sandwich for […]
