Camping in February? Slaskträffen Sweden winter 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Camping in February can be very cold. This yearly meet called Slaskträffen ("Slush meet") has had minus 15 degrees and lots of snow, but this year the weather was almost spring like. From -1 in the early morning to 6 degrees in the day.
The meet has been growing every year and attracts bikes of all kinds, from Goldwings to Harleys to Enduros and ADV bikes.
The meet is arranged by Stewe MK at @allintravelsweden the last weekend in February every year.
To find the location, keep your eyes open on his Instagram or Facebook page.
This time I got to try our a lot of new gear which was great in the cold.
The Mosko Moto Ecotherm jacket was a life saver. Also warm without the power.

Singletrack Pants from Adventure Spec. Rugged, waterproof and comfy.

My sleeping bag kept me warm all through the night. Allthough bulky it's worth bringing.

We have been riding this February in Wyoming USA. Last year I had a 7 foot snow drift across my yard in February. Must be global warming. The Sturgis Rally in South Dakota used to be a little biker gathering in the 1970s. Now everyone is invited and 600,000 biker come each year. Your friend may need to buy more land. Great video!😎👍
Yeah this was a warm Feb in Sweden for sure. Greta at work. This can grow out of proportions for sure.
Hope it grows. Global warming 😂😂
I enjoy a lot the idea that february in Sweden is like spring Very nice meeting you have there.
Indeed nice 👍🏻
As usual it is a joy to watch your videos Robert !!! I'm looking forward to July/August when I will return to Sweden for some Dirt Roads and outdoor living. Always motivating and inspiring these videos of yours! Keep on making them! Ah, and by the way, I like the humor very much!!!
Thank you and welcome :)
Get dressed for Success and just go out and meet people - Enjoy Life - so well said perhaps sums up what a person should do in their Liftime whenever oppurtunity presents - Bravo
Thank you :)
Well done mate, riding in February in Sweden is a real challenge. I think you Swedes are tough men!!
Greetings from Bulgaria.
Thanks! Fire, beer and warm gear makes it work 😊
Thanks for coming Robert. I will see you next year as well and good movie.👌🏻😎
Cheers from the Bulgar bus bar!
Thanks for sharing Robert.....All the best from Canad!😀😀
Cheers
That was cool, it's nice to see so many of you and all those other interesting things👍💪 greetings and good luck 🖐
Thanks 🙏
Fantastisk! Havde det i kalenderen - men måtte ændre planer. Næse gang så :-)
There is always next time!
Haha, really great to see so many people at this event. Lucky with the weather, no doubt. 😂 And imagine you would be that old fart dressing up in a HEATED jacket 😂🥰 Told you 🤣 Damn I need to get out on the road soon myself. I want a new season so bad. 🙈 Cheers Tjommi, great video with a really good vibe
The best thing about being 50+ is that I can get away with anything! Even heated gear. Don't worry. There will be so much riding this year you will be sick of it :D See you out there
Slushmeetsong is a banger!
Yeah, glad you liked it
Är det du som gjort låten o sjunger? @@NomadSweden
@@daff4377 Den är gjord med AI :) Man skriver in texten och får en låt
What! Based on you FB (Facebook, that is), I knew to wait for a video from Slush Rally, but somehow I missed this after all. Well, conditions seems like a normal summer weather in Finland 🤪. Looks fun enough, though.
Kippis buddy
Looks awesome and I am jealous. Your Feb adventures are May’s adventures for us in western Canada….if we can find an empty campsite 😂😂
Nice day bro 🎉
Indeed :)
Really nice Robert. Hope to join it some day. Except the Oboy with Mintuu. Chocolate and mint aint mixin in my book haha
😝
Precis hittat till din kanal. Mycket bra videor. Keep it up :)
Tacketackar 😊
Spring is a long way there compared to Vaasa here in Finland 🙂
Indeed. But it’s not over just yet.
Impressive in the early days of the year. Looks like a lot of fun in this best conditions. Open for all?😉
Thanks. Yes open for all.
Like långt och mörkt outro, annars en bra video som vanligt. Och jag hoppas att det fanns alternativa vägar för de som körde guldvingar och harleys. 😁
Ja jag märkte att outrot blev lång efter jag laddat upp 60Gb och ville inte göra om det :) Det var bara de som ville som åkte ut i skogen
Nice video Robert, great way to start the biking year! Some longer days, a little warmth and a bike trip...bring it on!! Ps, isn't heated gear great 😊, cheers Steve
Heated gear is awesome 🤩
06:15 The bulgarian bar bus got me! :D
🚌 🥃
Härligt 😊👍🏻
Well that looked like a lot of fun!
It was 😊
I rode this year in N. Vermont in February. And I Skied last Friday. Will probably go out again this week. It is so unusual.
Indeed unusual
Lol, the chap at 6:10 clearly wasn't wasting his time (or so it seems). 😀 Top stuff, Robert!
:) Stewe is a cartoon character. Cheers
3 degrees and off for a camping weekend? You must be a Viking, Robert ;-) Greetings from the sauna, Günter/Nürnberg
Well, a viking with a heated jacket :) cheers
@@NomadSwedenA smart viking, indeed ;-)
Cool running👍
Så jäkla synd man ej kunde åka dit!
Det finns alltid nästa år :) Trevligt var det
Thanks
It was a very enjoyable camping trip🤟
Sure was :)
Hi all, have a question that may be of interest to to others thinking of exploring your amazing country.
We are thinking of moving to Sweden from France but of course friends keep saying won't be able to do anything for 9 months of the year as weather so bad.
Realistically speaking, how long would the riding season be if you were no further north than Vetlanda and looking for conditions similar to the video.
I am sure this was exceptional weather for February but just an idea when could potter around short trips off road 30km or so, what month would those conditions start and end?
And of course long trips up north in the summer.
Sure it must be longer than 3 months, I hope so!
Great video, cheers
Hi. Since Greta started the warming we are lucky if we have snow more than 1-2 months in southern part of Sweden. This season i have ridden every month except January. If you want to go far north I would go end of May to september. We are getting more French every day, except our farmers are calm.
@@NomadSweden Thank for the reply, very interesting and contrary to what a lot of people think.
To be honest in South west France a lot of our trails are hard work as still a mudbath with the logging vehicles as we get wet winters, so nowhere the fairly good conditions you guys had.
And of course we also get the 40c plus summer heat which is no fun with gear on, so all in all is the season that much worse there or possibly even better.
It really does look great there and that you could ride for 100km almost all off road, or at least from a lot of videos I see it looks like that.
Yes, your farmers and Swedes in general are calmer which probably makes for a nicer experience when actually on the road, French drivers are a tad erratic to say the least!
Cheers

Greetings from Turkey. We are waiting for you in Muğla Bodrum. There are many places to visit and offroad in this region.
Thank you! Would like to come back some day.
Oxford heated grips. Like the look of the heated jacket liner. Cool music. Sketchy road. after 1 degree the wind movement can freeze it at ground level. If a person had a small lithium 12v battery the heated jacket would be extra nice in the sleeping bag if needed. Good meet. Liked the market. Bet the locals have fun with all those old crazy bikers coming to town. We've had good weather in easy Kentucky USA. early spring. Stay safe in these waning winter days. Still some dangers lurking to bite your ass. Next time. Maybe a round table discussion someday with the Nordic friends
Cheers bud
@@NomadSweden new knee today. Ride the Tenere all you can. I be looking at mine
Çok güzel kamp.bende orada olmak isterdim
Haha, what a rumble in the jungle 😂🙌 Alot more hillbillies than last year, fun! 🍺🍺🍺. This is going to be an even more classic meeting than before. As well with a dedicated Slush Meeting Banjo Song now 🤣 Sorry i couldn't join You Rob, had to stay close to home this time. Stewe called up and bullied somewhat, guess i deserved it 👀😂. Some known faces and some new. Now we could say that the season are kicked off! Like the whiskyvoice in the morning 💪🤠🔥🍺🍺🤌
Haha thanks tjommi. It was a splendid event with a DIY feeling. No paying guests makes for a more natual feeling. Just buddies hanging out.
@@NomadSweden exactly, back to basic as it have been and definitely still are room for. Genuine ADV (ofc I realize that workshops and a lot of arrangment attracts as well, great with many choices. Just to habe that said 👍😁) Did we hear alot of Skååååål Suuuupa Aaahhh! ?👀🤣🍺🍺🍺
Kanontrevlig video Robert. Och tack för senast. Jag måste komma tidigare nästa år, så att jag hinner med de trevliga dagtidsaktiviteterna och inte bara myset vid brasan. 🍻Skål för det.
@@rodrickblomdahl6317 Ja kul å träffas! Vi syns i spåren
Såg härligt ut alltihopa, speciellt värme i jackan! Vad tycks om tältet?
Tältet är kalas. Billigt tält jag köpte för 6 år sen. Urberg Dome 2pers
"Jamaican coconut party" 🤣🤣
🌴🥳
Jag varit där men åkte hem på lördag.
About the same weather here in Vancouver, but a little too soon for me on the bike. You Swedes sure push that adventure envelope. I'm surprised you didn't hammock. Wouldn't it be warmer off the ground?
Not sure. The most important part is a good mattress. Mine is for -25 degrees and reflects heat like an oven
I really don't know if the Singletrack pants is worth it! Is it really waterproof and breathable? I mean, for that price it also should be able to create a latte macchiato. Thx Robert, for presenting this nice meeting. I think I'm getting too old for these low temperatures. First year, that I didn't make a ride while below 10 ° C.🤧
I have yet to test the pants fully. Will report. Cheers
@@NomadSweden, okay, thx!👍
"Slush meet" song. AI generated? Very cool.
Haha yes AI generated
I did once a highsider and got almost hit by a car sliding over the road, brmecausevof invisible black icez So I have too much respect for slippy roads to get out on the bike before it’s safe to ride. 3dgr in the morning are just perfect to create black ice at some spots were cold air is laying in a lower part of the road.
Yep some learn the hard way. It was scary
🍻👑👋
12:35 damn :)
Question: What is your engine coolant temperature in this weather? From what I remember mine was around 75 C. So it’s not perfect but it’s understandable.
I remember when I bought T7 on November 2023. I flew from Calgary, AB to Abbotsford BC. We did a transaction and around 4 pm I start heading home to east towards Mountains. My first stop was Hope,BC when back in 1981 Rambo First Blood movie was made. Next day I start riding around 6am. I took highway 3 because my final destination was Lethbridge,AB. It’s 1100 km trip through the Rockies and I’m telling you my friend I was so so lucky that in end of November I was still able to drive Hgw 3. Usually at this time of the year Kootenay Pass it’s cover with snow and the road is closed.
The temperature was fluctuating between -3 - +5 so it was freaking cold. The sound of T7 engine and the fact how amazing this bike is kept me alive 😂
Love your videos man. No BS just pure enjoyment.
I live temporary in Elkford BC and can’t wait to bring my T7 here. This is dead end town and most of the roads are gravel service roads. So you are basically on the verge of the adventure and pure Canadian nature.
The engine temp was constantly 78 degrees. Thanks for the story and nice words.
Vad skådar mitt norra öga, are you rocking the new DMD-T865 NAV TAB? A review coming or have I already missed it?
Jag har haft med den i nån dmd video men monterade den nu i vinter så det blir review efter jag kört med den ett tag 👍🏻
You should go full time country singer or promoter.
Well it’s not me singing 😊
❄️🔥❄️👌...are Danes allowed?
Not allowed. REQUIRED! 😀
@@NomadSweden 🙏🤗👌🔥🇸🇪
Is it usual not to have snow in Sweden this time of year? We have almost no more snow here in QUEBEC (Canada) but unfortunately our road laws do not allow us to drive before March 15th. Have a nice riding season!
Well compared to 20 years ago this is very unusual. But the recent years have had warm winters mixed with really cold ones. So it's quite random nowadays. Have a good season you too
Epic! What sat nav are you using ?
I use the best nav :)

I noticed that you’re using an Ace Pro with a helmet mic. Can you tell me what mic you are using? I purchased the adapter already. Love your videos. You do really great work. Thank you.
I have a video on the topic here. I only changed the camera, the mics are the same. ruclips.net/video/48D4dc9nT_c/видео.htmlsi=BaMPbVwZGUokKj7r
@@NomadSweden thank you 🙏
How do YOU connect jacket to the bike? From where did you pull the wires on the bike?
Jacket has a cord. And i have a connector from the battery
Nice!! Regards from Riga! Whats the tent you are having?
Thanks. The model of tent is old and not sold anymore but this is the latest version www.outnorth.se/urberg/2-person-dome-tent-g3
Nice sharing, I have a question for you, how many kilometers is it from Tenere?
Kilometers from Tenere? Do you mean how many km I have ridden my Tenere? 70.000
@@NomadSweden thanks ☺️
Hello Robert, another nice video😊. I have a question about the sleepingbag . It looks very warm and comfortabele. What is the brand and where did you buy it ? Greeting kees
I bought it in Sweden but this is the brand site www.carinthia.eu/en/defence-4-p1107/
Thanx for the tip and the quick answer👍😎
You're using DMD Tablet is Carpe Iter so heavy yeah?
The Carpe works well on my rally tower, but on a standard T7 you need a stable mount. I Have the T865 for test now and see how it works.
Nice place..what tent are you using..?
An old 2 person dome tent from Urberg. Not sold anymore and it was cheap 😊 i think they have a new version
What? No dip in the lake? 🙃
🥶🥶
How was the jacket off the bike? Does it keep you warm around camp?
Yes it was the only jacket I had around camp. But I stayed close to the fire 😊 still a warm jacket for sure
😂 franziskaner weissbier 👌, but unfortunately no leberkas-semmel!
Indeed no leberkas 🥲
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
What tent are you using
Urberg dome G2
Another year and still no motorcycle-girls in sight.
Sad but true
Im going Next year, if the organizer has the decency to provide for free unlimited beer .
ok 👍🏻
It looks like a really nice meet Robert. Maybe something for me when Global Warming really sets in😅
Indeed! I actually joined this year because there was no sub zero temps. Last year was minus 11!!
@@NomadSweden 😬🥶
AI generated music? Well done!!
Yes it was fun adding some tailored AI music
I do not know what is it with your camera, it kinda hurting the eyes, tiering to watch. exposure and sharpness is jumpy every second.
Yes I agree. I had the camera on HDR video all the time and that’s not a good idea. (First time I used it)
