There are 2 sources I’ve used for my backcountry items in Sweden. Kartbutiken and Naturkompaniet. We’re talking about maps but try to grab some freeze-dried food made by Real Turmat while you’re buying stuff. Everyone one of their meals is delicious. Website for The Map Store (Kartbutiken): www.kartbutiken.se/ Website for The Nature Company (Naturkompaniet): www.naturkompaniet.se/ I did not find an option to switch the Naturkompaniet website to English. I walked thru the Kartbutiken English on-line purchasing process almost to the end. It appears you can order and ship to yourself in other countries outside the EU now. When I tried to get them shipped to me before my hike, it wasn’t possible. I even wrote to their customer service with no luck getting an exception. From what I can find, there is only one version of the Kungsleden Atlas and one version of the maps. The Atlas is in Swedish only. It contains significant amounts of text that may be important. I used my Google Translate app with my camera to hover over the Swedish text. It translated it accurately. This requires an internet connection and will not work in the Swedish mountains. It would work for planning before your trip though. The maps are bilingual - Swedish and English. I found 2 companies that produce maps for Kungsleden. They are Calazo and Norstedts.

I'm looking for English versions of the maps and atlas I talk about in the video. Since I am bilingual, I often do not realize which language I am using. I remember that the legend on the maps is in 3 languages, German being the 3rd, I think. I don't think I'll find a version specifically for English speakers and I don't think it should matter very much for planning or hiking. I have a copy of the atlas and have looked at it, but I don't recall all the language options. I'm currently hiking segments of the Ice Age Trail and will look closely at the atlas and maps when I return home. I'll let you all know what I find. Don't worry. It won't be very long. :)

Can you post a link to the english version of maps and atlas

We cooked like this in Girl Scouts, too. Reminds me of good times at camp! Great video! The dates for the October Ohiopyle youtubers meetup are Oct. 25, 26, 27th. I'll be sending out an email a little later this month with the private details & location.

Wonderful sharing here my friend all the best Stay safe and healthy have a great week 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Do give us a review once you’ve had some more time in it.

Great info as usual. I’ve just returned home from hiking Kungsleden in August. Had an amazing time. The information on your videos and in your book played a very important part in the success of my hike!! Sincere thanks👍🏻. Weather for me was quite varied. My first 3 days were 24C. I also had cold 10-13C rainy days. Most nights were 10-15C but had a couple of nights 3-4C. I used a Zpacks Duplex dyneema tent. No issues with it. Had some windy days but was always able to find a protected location sheltered by a big rock, hill or trees. One day there were winds over 80 kph (50 mph). Bugs were not an issue except for one evening. It was windy so I pitched my tent in a small valley beside a little lake. The wind disappeared shortly after and the bugs joined me by the thousands🤣🤣. Otherwise, I used a deet-free repellant that worked well when needed, which was only for about 5 days. The constant breeze kept them away for the most part.

Very nice addition to your gear 👍🏻

Love the story behind the music and the trail, glad I got to see this come across my feed, very informative+1 like and sub

How'd you like it??

Great and informative episode man, love it!

What time of year was this?

I've noticed that, since retiring, its pretty rare that I wear blue jeans. Maybe I'm doing this without thinking.

Great show. I live about an hour drive to Mohican and love to hike there. Subscribed.

Congrats! Thats an iconic place.

Thanks for the look at the southern terminus and congratulations on finishing your adventure.

Aka a compound fracture.

Nice shirt! 😄💚👊

very nice hike my friend 👍👍

Thanks for the detailed and very well-presented information. That was just what I was searching for for my thruhike beginning in a few weeks. Keep up the awesome work and thank you so much! Greetings from Switzerland.

I don't think I have enough fingers and toes to count all those peaks! 😂 Beautiful view! Have you seen any of those Joro spiders while on the trail in GA? I'm wondering if they are out there and hitching rides with the NOBO hikers. It's only a matter of time before they make their way up here to the northeast.

very nice my friend 👍👍

Great tour of the Dungeon. I like that Uni got to have a picture taken there! 😄 Yay for not getting lost! Gorgeous views! 😍 There's a ton of people who think Georgia is flat. You wouldn't believe how often I hear that. Those are tall mountains. So you're in Ohio normally, right? Would you want to participate if I do a youtubers meetup in October? Great video! 😃💚👊

RESPECT!

What a fantastic view on Blood Mountain! I remember it well. The shelter is definitely one of the coolest I have seen on the trail. I wasn't aware of the haunting, but I did get a creepy feeling inside it! 😯We try to visit every shelter along our section hikes if we can.

Hey Jon's Dad, K here from K&RO Hiking Happens. Thanks for subscribing to our channel. I gave you a sub as well. I see you have been busy on the AT! I did a day hike over Blood Mountain with my buddy Twitch a few years back and we stopped in at Mountain Crossing. Very cool little supply store. I picked up an AT cap with Blood Mountain on it. You may see me wearing it in some of our videos when we are on the AT. We're currently working our way through Connecticut. I look forward to catching up on your AT adventure.

Because Swedish trolls siphon off all of the sunlight they can grab.

Thanks for sharing ,new sub 👍

The first time I backpacked the AT (Summer 1973), when I hiked through Tesnatee Gap the original trail shelter was still there, right beside the relatively new Richard Russell Scenic Highway. It was a crude lean-to made of enormous logs. No one used it because the local scumbags were notorious for driving up there in the dark and terrorizing backpackers. (James Dickey wasn't writing in metaphor when he crafted his novel DELIVERANCE.) Cowrock might be my favorite overlook on the GA portion of the AT.

Those are when skunks dig up recently deposited box turtle eggs. I've seen them do it. Sometimes they'll actually follow a turtle as she's laying eggs. Box turtles tend to lay one egg at a time. A good way to improve survival of the eggs, unless the female turtle is being followed by a hungry skunk.

The digger may have been an armadillo. Georgia does have them. Anyone that says differently can see them on my previous channel. I see you're the WebMaster of this trip! 😂🕸 It definitely looks like an armadillo digging for grubs. They have long claws to dig. The AT is famous for closed paths being blocked off by cut tree limbs. Cool rock marker for Hogpen Gap! It's so much fun to sit in parking lots and chat like that! 😁 The Nasty Gap. 😆 Glad you had fun trail chatting! Beautiful wild azaleas. Great views! How did I miss out on kindergarten cloud day? We need more of that curriculum! Geez, I can't stand people trashing up the woods. CNOC bladders are the best! 💯! Uni was thirsty. Great video! 😁💚👊

I love the warmth of my EE gear, but they have the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. Such a shame. To the point where I won't purchase from them again; that's how rotten their customer service is. Cute salamander. Lovely green tunnel for you. That's a nice camp spot. It's so funny to hear you say, "Jon's Dad's Son" instead of just "Jon". 😂 No thorns is awesome! 👊 Uni likes Unicoi. I agree on Mountain Crossings being a bit of a disappointment, too! 😂😆 Don't say it too much though; somebody will squawk! Lol, great video! 😁💚👊

Take some video and images at Liss Gap when you get there. I haven't been in many years, but I never forgot it: one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen.

Amazing congratulations

Very good information. I enjoyed watching it :) and now subscribed :)

Congrats on 12 man. Super cool!

Very good.. :) Nice nature. I want to go for that hike once :)

10% rule 😂

Good tip!

Thanks for sharing this video

Uni was excited to be in Unicoi Gap. Proof of Life photo is a great tip! I love this entire area. Brings back great memories. 💚 Wonderful video! 😁👊

Looks like a fantastic hike. I think you spend more nights in your tent than your home.

😁👍👍

❤

Great video! 😁👊
