I am a knife collector; don't feel ashamed: It is scientifically proven that you can't own too many knives. I like bacon, too: you can't have too much of that, either.
@@alicewhitelhpw7517 True, if you are over in the UK you cant even walk down the streets with butter knives apparently. Yet over here on the continent some people carry these to work (for work use).
@Luke K. I have to somewhat agree with Mactehknife. Too many people are ingrates who don't respect a gift, or the person giving it. I never take anything for granted and always respect things I receive no matter how they come to me.
I hate to burst your bubble a little bit. In Our Lifetime you own nothing That little piece of land you're talking about. You rent it from the government. By paying taxes your whole life. The clothes that you buy that you wear on your back will fall to shreds. You will not own them. The food you buy you'll consume it and it will come out the other end. You don't own that. You can buy a car, but you have to register it and then share it and do other things to it repairs eventually that car will fall to shreds. So the only thing you truly own in this world is your word. Then also the logic and understanding of how Lifeworks around you you can own knowledge. As well even that overtime though can fade. We are giving the illusion that we own these things. We truly do not. We have to pay tax for everything. It's sad, but true. That's why to me. I tell people the most important thing you can kind of give me besides love is your attention span. And also give me a word. Because if you can't keep your word. Then you don't own anything really. Stay blessed. I'm only saying it because knowledge is power.

I was reading a book called Sovereignty (same book I’ve mentioned in a comment I’ve left under this comment thread) the author, Michler, briefly points out that modern man is constantly doing things and subsequently rarely takes the time to stop, slow down and reflect on what he is doing (both in the moment and on a more wider scale) and consider whether it is actually something which will help him or make him a more virtuous person. I find Mr. Bull-Hansen’s slow and measured pace to be a refreshing change

Nice video. Your wife is a lucky lady. So many people are in debt - I tried to explain to my son that getting something on credit is a nice way of saying debt i.e. the truth is not that nice to hear. He sort of gets it, but the lure of goodies (in this case a powerful gaming computer) was too much to resist. My dear departed father never took one penny of debt in his life. He and my mother had good values and sense of decency. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed by the poor values of the majority of folk. Your channel is a relief to watch. Thank you.
Save up and buy when you can afford it. We even treat our credit card as a "check" and we always pay it off every month. We've advised our sons do the same. Why pay more to the banker class? They're already rich and in love with money. No need to make them richer.

Washington state has to wake up and vote out the democrats that have ruined your state. Just like Oregonians need to vote out all of the Democrats in my state!

Expecting different outcomes? REALLY? try thinking with your own brain, dont keep drinking the koolaid.
If that gapahuk was in England, it would be littered with used beer cans and used disposable bbq’s. So important to preserve the respect the people of Scandinavia have for the nature. On the issue of ownership, Buddha is right, ‘desire’ is the cause of all suffering. Love the vid...great as always.
Sad but true. That said I've seen some stone built ones on trails in Scotland which were well kept. You'd have to go out of your way to find them but they had cast iron stoves and a stock of wood and peat with instructions on lighting a fire ghey also had carbon monoxide detectors in them. I image it would be quite warm inside even with the famous Scottish weather.
Both my parents were Engineers & Artist's, they taught me how to design, build, use & care for tool's. The concept of ownership is a deeper philosophical concept than just possession of course. A tool that's well made, cared for should outlast the original posser, its a reflection of the integrity of all you & I have mentioned in so many ways but do we really own anything? We posses thing's until we die, even our body's go back into the elimental state. One's beliefs, moral, ethics, integrity and yes, body's are tools to live our lives so i would say we posses during a life tools metaphorically speaking that we use to live. Can one have too many tool's? I enjoy your sharing the tools you posses and find it wonderful when you're sharing a tool can create another's ownership multiplying it's abilities to be used through a sharing of its possessor. Namaste🙏🏼
Nice site. Still simple but very functional. I like your idea. You are talking about 'righteous stewardship of taking care of those things under our stewardship' in many ways. I also believe it also has to do with training us to be accountable.
the grid creates a paradox - you need it to share your channel and your wisdom, I need it to receive it, I need it for the good things for me but with it comes a minefield of misery that we have to tip toe through so as not to be psychologically and/or spiritually wounded. You do a great job so I am happy to enter the field in search of the good pearls.
I think your cup is a good example of why ownership is important. It's important to you as you created it, investing time to bring it into existence. If it's stolen someone has taken your creative energy as well as your time. Both are valuable resources. High quality items such as your knives you have taken time to chose. Choices that reflected your ego and also again time. In terms of looking after it, maintaining and cherishing things. I like the distinction you made between materialism and property. I will remember that arguement. Big fan from the UK. Keep up the good work.
"Owning yourself" is another way of stating "liberty". So says this 'wood lot philosopher'. Greetings from the North Bush of British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
The stoic line of thought is that, sure you can have things and money; property, as you put it - just don't imagine that you're any worse or better off if (when) you lose it. It isn't you, and you can always get it - or something like it - back. More to your point though, agency is very important, and we should never surrender our agency to anyone else. It's very difficult to get that back.
I'd have to dispute that. The usual 'cost' of Property is your labor. That represents time ... a portion of your life which is irreplaceable. That is why Theft is a crime; it represents someone seizing a portion of your life for themselves. It's really no different from Slavery.
One can never have enough knives 😄 what a beautiful place! So peaceful.. I have read that drinking coffee in warm/hot weather actually cools the body down. Being materialistic is shallow... having Integrity and owning one's self is invigoratiing and fulfilling. When a person can achieve this status, then you become an uplift and help to others around you. And if you are in a relationship, it can solidify that bond. Omg, I want that knife! Thank you for a wonderful, uplifting video today. Your woodland philosophy is much appreciated 😉 Enjoy your weekend Mr.Bjorn, Skål!
I enjoy watching and listening to you. For representing yourself as an outdoorsman, your clothing and boots look new. I looked up the knife you reviewed and some of the other stuff shown in the description. Everyone likes high quality products, but not all can afford them. The Mora knives cost around $90. Helle Bleja Folding Knife is $224. Hat in description priced $79-80. I am sure there are many with high incomes who just buy top-quality things without thought. Do not ignore your followers who cannot afford the things you recommend. I would like you to talk about good quality equipment with a smaller price tag.
Such a wonderful video - it’s like spending time with a wise brother who has life lessons to share while the two of you enjoy checking out new knives, hiking, or camping. Really fantastic. I love how you start the video showing a great place and a rare example of somewhere communal property works. A hiking association decided having these remarkable huts available to the community was a good thing, so they built them together. Then you perfectly articulate why a free person, with his own property and ownership of himself is best equipped to actually enjoy such a space. Woodland philosopher is a perfect moniker for you! Thank you for the knife review and for all you do, Bjorn!
I love watching how excellent craftsmanship performs. Yes, please keep reviewing the knives and tools needed for survival and please show us what you feel are the best and most important tools needed for surviving off grid . Anything you show us and everything you do is intriguing and worthy and educational for someone like me who is not very knowledgeable when it comes to surviving out in the wilderness. 🕊🌬🕊
You have such a jolly, modest laugh and a very soothing presence. You could talk about anything and I'd enjoy it! I own a couple of handmade knives and they are my treasures. One is inscribed, on the blade, 🗡with a personal touch: "Snoopy dancing under the hairy eyeball." Never knew it would be so prescient!
Thank you for the cool knife review. I was raised to take ownership for who I am and my surroundings. Mental health is such a crucial factor, if we would all learn to have this effective and efficient mindset, the world would hugely change for good.
I watch/listen/read a lot of material from many people on the subjects Bjorn covers. I appreciate all their efforts. But it is only after watching Bjorns's videos that I feel calmer rather than more wound up. Very therapeutic, very much needed, thank you.
Great topic. I also think about this often. I think the importance of property also comes from our basic need for personal space and privacy. It's also a fundamental part of freedom. We need our private familiar space in which we arrange things by our own desire. If we suppress too much this basic need we get stressed, depressed, or even mentally ill.
Yo you probably wont see this but I've gotta say finding your channel has bettered my life profoundly, and helped me find a lot of peace. keep up the good work and content because its people like you that hold the world and people together!
Steve from victoria Australia!, Bjorn,, been watching you for a long time but I havn,t commented before, but I love your channel, love your calming energy and common sense, I,m also a keen bush hiker, bowhunter , knife, axe collector , can,t have too many , " He who dies with the most Bows ,knives , axes and hats wins" keep up your great work, you do more good than you will ever know, especially in these crazy times we are in, stay safe and healthy.
As soon as my inbox shows one of your videos posts....I pretty much rush to the laptop to get my dose of woodland philosophy. I am glad I found you channel. It's been great just sitting and listening to an old friend.
I can see how you enjoy going to that spot, peaceful... makes your videos easier to do, easier to get lost in thought too, taking ownership of ourselves, accountability and integrity, if everyone did this, ghe world would be a much better place, take care, stay safe, look forward to the next video.
This is my favorite youtube channel. I am studying and working in the city right now but I hope to get out closer to nature once I've finished what I'm doing here. Nowhere else is nature's equal when it comes to clarity of mind.
It's a treat to see hunting knives used real time in the wilderness. So many knives out there. Damascus, Swedish, High carbon, D2 steel and how to properly hone them in the wilderness.
Hello Bjorn...I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel & look forward to the FIRESIDE CHATS...you are an inspiration & your wisdom is spot on...cheers to you.🍷
I agree; the phrase "pride of ownership" arises from integrity in how you take care of things. A person who takes care of their things also takes care of themselves, of their family, friends, community and country. A slob is a slob through and through on all dimensions. And notice how the amount of melanin in one's body has no bearing on one's integrity. People should be judged solely on their character.
Hi Bjorn I'm a inspired writer and been a subscriber for a long time. I think your content is of great value for people to intake and learn from, I'm from the UK but also felt more kindred towards norse history than anything else,in the process of finding out if I'm descended from any nordic roots. I just want to say I think your wise, honest, and got a good heart and know you've got my full support in anything you do keep up the good work
For once I’m having chocolate coffee while I’m watching, Skål! On the topic of stuff, big difference between not owning and sharing things. Some people see other cultures where some things are shared amongst people and mistake it for some kind of political ism. For example it’s not necessary in urban areas for everyone to own a lawn mower, so one could be shared in a neighborhood. I think it’s just being mindful of your money and how many potentially unnecessary things you own. You could drive a small car and if you need a truck for something occasionally rent one for a day instead of going out and buying one that will almost never get used. I’m digging the knives too, need to get a few more Moras, I only own the Companion currently.
Nice to hear someone talking that is not raving about something. I think we share a common feeling about the future and the way things are today. I feel as if I am sitting in front of you and we are talking along the same lines and share a lot of the same thoughts. We live in the Mountains of South Carolina away from the city but are close enough we can get the few supplies we need. We too have several akrs. of land that is being used as a self reliant homestead with a natural spring that has ran for 85 years and a steep bank on each side so I can see for several 100 yards anything that is coming to the house. I too have cleared out the under brush and have maintained the natural thick woods. Keep the videos coming my friend ...
Always look forward to your videos, i often return to them to hear a bit of common sense & a bit of sanity. For some people ownership of things becomes a desperate form of self validation & the owner becomes owned by his possesions in a sense. "..don't need more knives"?! ..what an outrageous thing to say.
Thanks for showing us where you are today. I'd love to go camping there with friends or family, or just by myself ! I agree with your concept of ownership, my friend.
I use Morakniv knives every day on my farm in New Hampshire, USA, love the durability and holster I can clip into my pocket... Keep the non-conformist energy flowing Mr. Bjorn!
Bjorn I love Norway. In the 80s I was a British Commando who worked with Norwegian and other NATOs Forces in your land. If you and your people would accept me into your county nowadays now I would happily come and contribute and support like minded people.
Good day I have a Mora it's a good one full tang..to let you know I made a bold choice moved my elders left behind everything except for what is the most important..for us it is our family Crest our books handwritten and passed down to us family tree..we can start over and rebuild but somethings are extremely valuable my heritage..it is worth dying for. Character is what you are when no one else is watching..as always thank you for your videos and time..what a lovely place to spend your day..my father told me I should go back home where we come from and see it for myself.
Hello, I heard that archaeologists in Norway have begun the first excavation of a Viking ship in more than a century. That's really cool! Awesome channel by the way 👍
I love that you talk to us from the woods, where you love to be, and with your coffee. I happen to have a cup of tea right now so it feels like a regular catch up betwen us, ha ha, me and a few thousand others! Its great to hear a voice of kindness, and of your obvious love for the world, just not necessarily for how it is now though! But it will all come good. I hope you feel that too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊😊
Bjorn, in the UK, we work all our Lives just to have it stolen away from Us in later life and given to People who haven't worked for it! You are very lucky in Norway to be able to find uninhabited places, The UK is filling up very fast! Love watching Your vlogs, 👍

If that gapahuk was in England, it would be littered with used beer cans and used disposable bbq’s. So important to preserve the respect the people of Scandinavia have for the nature. On the issue of ownership, Buddha is right, ‘desire’ is the cause of all suffering. Love the vid...great as always.
Haha I was just thinking that. If that was by me I'd love to go. But some chavs would prob burn it down.
Sad but true. That said I've seen some stone built ones on trails in Scotland which were well kept. You'd have to go out of your way to find them but they had cast iron stoves and a stock of wood and peat with instructions on lighting a fire ghey also had carbon monoxide detectors in them. I image it would be quite warm inside even with the famous Scottish weather.
Again I say Thank You. Your an inspiration to all.
Both my parents were Engineers & Artist's, they taught me how to design, build, use & care for tool's. The concept of ownership is a deeper philosophical concept than just possession of course. A tool that's well made, cared for should outlast the original posser, its a reflection of the integrity of all you & I have mentioned in so many ways but do we really own anything? We posses thing's until we die, even our body's go back into the elimental state. One's beliefs, moral, ethics, integrity and yes, body's are tools to live our lives so i would say we posses during a life tools metaphorically speaking that we use to live. Can one have too many tool's?
I enjoy your sharing the tools you posses and find it wonderful when you're sharing a tool can create another's ownership multiplying it's abilities to be used through a sharing of its possessor.
Namaste🙏🏼
Love your channel....i live way out in Alaska,,,,👍i enjoy the peace to.
Fantastic!! Always enjoy your wonderful videos!! Thank you Bjorn for your share, great way to start off my weekend, peaceful and calming!!!
Yes, ownership of self is important to your physical and mental health and yes your values.
Nice site. Still simple but very functional.
I like your idea. You are talking about 'righteous stewardship of taking care of those things under our stewardship' in many ways. I also believe it also has to do with training us to be accountable.
the grid creates a paradox - you need it to share your channel and your wisdom, I need it to receive it, I need it for the good things for me but with it comes a minefield of misery that we have to tip toe through so as not to be psychologically and/or spiritually wounded. You do a great job so I am happy to enter the field in search of the good pearls.
Totally agree with you. I try always to use it for the good.
I think your cup is a good example of why ownership is important. It's important to you as you created it, investing time to bring it into existence. If it's stolen someone has taken your creative energy as well as your time. Both are valuable resources. High quality items such as your knives you have taken time to chose. Choices that reflected your ego and also again time. In terms of looking after it, maintaining and cherishing things. I like the distinction you made between materialism and property. I will remember that arguement. Big fan from the UK. Keep up the good work.
"Owning yourself" is another way of stating "liberty".
So says this 'wood lot philosopher'.
Greetings from the North Bush of British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
The stoic line of thought is that, sure you can have things and money; property, as you put it - just don't imagine that you're any worse or better off if (when) you lose it. It isn't you, and you can always get it - or something like it - back.
More to your point though, agency is very important, and we should never surrender our agency to anyone else. It's very difficult to get that back.
I'd have to dispute that. The usual 'cost' of Property is your labor. That represents time ... a portion of your life which is irreplaceable. That is why Theft is a crime; it represents someone seizing a portion of your life for themselves. It's really no different from Slavery.
@@rcfokker1630 Property IS slavery!
I’ve thought it often enough so I might as well say it -
*Your wife is a very lucky lady*
that smile ❤️ (swoon)
as are his children...and his dogs. Bjorn has arrived on time - the healing time.
And the hair :) I am a long hair junkie indeed LOL
One can never have enough knives 😄 what a beautiful place! So peaceful.. I have read that drinking coffee in warm/hot weather actually cools the body down. Being materialistic is shallow... having Integrity and owning one's self is invigoratiing and fulfilling. When a person can achieve this status, then you become an uplift and help to others around you. And if you are in a relationship, it can solidify that bond. Omg, I want that knife! Thank you for a wonderful, uplifting video today. Your woodland philosophy is much appreciated 😉 Enjoy your weekend Mr.Bjorn, Skål!
I enjoy watching and listening to you. For representing yourself as an outdoorsman, your clothing and boots look new. I looked up the knife you reviewed and some of the other stuff shown in the description. Everyone likes high quality products, but not all can afford them. The Mora knives cost around $90. Helle Bleja Folding Knife is $224. Hat in description priced $79-80. I am sure there are many with high incomes who just buy top-quality things without thought. Do not ignore your followers who cannot afford the things you recommend. I would like you to talk about good quality equipment with a smaller price tag.
Ha! You can never have too many knives. Or guns, here in the US. Nice knives! Thank you.🤠
Yeah & you're going to need them with the crazy people afoot
Such a wonderful video - it’s like spending time with a wise brother who has life lessons to share while the two of you enjoy checking out new knives, hiking, or camping. Really fantastic. I love how you start the video showing a great place and a rare example of somewhere communal property works. A hiking association decided having these remarkable huts available to the community was a good thing, so they built them together. Then you perfectly articulate why a free person, with his own property and ownership of himself is best equipped to actually enjoy such a space. Woodland philosopher is a perfect moniker for you! Thank you for the knife review and for all you do, Bjorn!
I love watching how excellent craftsmanship performs. Yes, please keep reviewing the knives and tools needed for survival and please show us what you feel are the best and most important tools needed for surviving off grid . Anything you show us and everything you do is intriguing and worthy and educational for someone like me who is not very knowledgeable when it comes to surviving out in the wilderness. 🕊🌬🕊
You have such a jolly, modest laugh and a very soothing presence. You could talk about anything and I'd enjoy it! I own a couple of handmade knives and they are my treasures. One is inscribed, on the blade, 🗡with a personal touch: "Snoopy dancing under the hairy eyeball." Never knew it would be so prescient!
Yes, I OWN a Mora Garberg and it is a great knife ! We have shelters like that in the US along many of our hiking trails including the AT.
I love Moras, and I'm going to give that model a good looking-into. Thanks.
And I ALWAYS need more knives. ALWAYS.
Thank you for the cool knife review. I was raised to take ownership for who I am and my surroundings. Mental health is such a crucial factor, if we would all learn to have this effective and efficient mindset, the world would hugely change for good.
I watch/listen/read a lot of material from many people on the subjects Bjorn covers. I appreciate all their efforts. But it is only after watching Bjorns's videos that I feel calmer rather than more wound up. Very therapeutic, very much needed, thank you.
"I dont like the grid", you and me both brother.
Great topic. I also think about this often. I think the importance of property also comes from our basic need for personal space and privacy. It's also a fundamental part of freedom. We need our private familiar space in which we arrange things by our own desire. If we suppress too much this basic need we get stressed, depressed, or even mentally ill.
The best channel to start a morning to. Takk for i morgen Bjørn, og unnskyld min dårlig Norske, jeg bare lærer.
That's a nice piece. Love watching your videos Bjorn, very calming. One of my grandmothers was Norwegian so I would love to visit one day.
Yo you probably wont see this but I've gotta say finding your channel has bettered my life profoundly, and helped me find a lot of peace. keep up the good work and content because its people like you that hold the world and people together!
I hope you keep making those wonderful videos one more night at work and I can spend a few days in the woods 😊
Norway looks like such a beautiful place to live. Thanks for sharing it 😊
I love how you just sit and think. I need to do more of that.
Be still and know.
Be silent and know.
Just be and see.
Steve from victoria Australia!, Bjorn,, been watching you for a long time but I havn,t commented before, but I love your channel, love your calming energy and common sense, I,m also a keen bush hiker, bowhunter , knife, axe collector , can,t have too many , " He who dies with the most Bows ,knives , axes and hats wins" keep up your great work, you do more good than you will ever know, especially in these crazy times we are in, stay safe and healthy.
As soon as my inbox shows one of your videos posts....I pretty much rush to the laptop to get my dose of woodland philosophy. I am glad I found you channel. It's been great just sitting and listening to an old friend.
A very important video. You have a way with words, Bjørn. Skål, and take care, my fellow Scandinavian.
I can see how you enjoy going to that spot, peaceful... makes your videos easier to do, easier to get lost in thought too, taking ownership of ourselves, accountability and integrity, if everyone did this, ghe world would be a much better place, take care, stay safe, look forward to the next video.
This is my favorite youtube channel. I am studying and working in the city right now but I hope to get out closer to nature once I've finished what I'm doing here. Nowhere else is nature's equal when it comes to clarity of mind.
It's a treat to see hunting knives used real time in the wilderness. So many knives out there. Damascus, Swedish, High carbon, D2 steel and how to properly hone them in the wilderness.
😎🤙...rely on yourself...period
Thank you Bjorn. We don't share all beliefs but we do without lenses of boxes we are put in!...
Hello Bjorn...I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel & look forward to the FIRESIDE CHATS...you are an inspiration & your wisdom is spot on...cheers to you.🍷
It's a pleasure to listen to your common but educated sense.
Thanks.
Even a 'home-on-wheels' feels better than renting something, like an apartment.
Knowledge is the most important thing you can truly own. With knowledge you can rebuild all that is lost.
I agree; the phrase "pride of ownership" arises from integrity in how you take care of things. A person who takes care of their things also takes care of themselves, of their family, friends, community and country. A slob is a slob through and through on all dimensions. And notice how the amount of melanin in one's body has no bearing on one's integrity. People should be judged solely on their character.
Hi Bjorn I'm a inspired writer and been a subscriber for a long time. I think your content is of great value for people to intake and learn from, I'm from the UK but also felt more kindred towards norse history than anything else,in the process of finding out if I'm descended from any nordic roots.
I just want to say I think your wise, honest, and got a good heart and know you've got my full support in anything you do keep up the good work
For once I’m having chocolate coffee while I’m watching, Skål! On the topic of stuff, big difference between not owning and sharing things. Some people see other cultures where some things are shared amongst people and mistake it for some kind of political ism. For example it’s not necessary in urban areas for everyone to own a lawn mower, so one could be shared in a neighborhood. I think it’s just being mindful of your money and how many potentially unnecessary things you own. You could drive a small car and if you need a truck for something occasionally rent one for a day instead of going out and buying one that will almost never get used. I’m digging the knives too, need to get a few more Moras, I only own the Companion currently.
Or just own a truck instead of owning a car, it’s more useful.
Once again I have enjoyed another video of yours. I am soothed while listening to your voice! Love you Bjorn!
You are a source of wisdom and common sense. Many thanks😉😎
Nice to hear someone talking that is not raving about something. I think we share a common feeling about the future and the way things are today. I feel as if I am sitting in front of you and we are talking along the same lines and share a lot of the same thoughts. We live in the Mountains of South Carolina away from the city but are close enough we can get the few supplies we need. We too have several akrs. of land that is being used as a self reliant homestead with a natural spring that has ran for 85 years and a steep bank on each side so I can see for several 100 yards anything that is coming to the house. I too have cleared out the under brush and have maintained the natural thick woods. Keep the videos coming my friend ...
Always look forward to your videos, i often return to them to hear a bit of common sense & a bit of sanity. For some people ownership of things becomes a desperate form of self validation & the owner becomes owned by his possesions in a sense. "..don't need more knives"?! ..what an outrageous thing to say.
Yes ownership is important.
Thanks for showing us where you are today. I'd love to go camping there with friends or family, or just by myself ! I agree with your concept of ownership, my friend.
Thanks for bringing some sanity to our lives - a lot lacking in this western Washington area.
300k Bjorn! I enjoy watching your channel so much . It calms my mind when things get too crazy here in the US.
Plus that's a nice looking knife
You are saying exactly what's been on all of our hearts
A tip for the Morakniv Eldres: If you put the knife in the sheath backwards it acts as a handle extension. Great talk! Thanks for sharing!
I agree with your thoughts on self ownership and integrity. Also, I learned a new technique for wood prep. Thx, Bjorn!
Björn is a super inspirational dude.
He's honestly kinda inspired me to change a few things around about my own life.
I use Morakniv knives every day on my farm in New Hampshire, USA, love the durability and holster I can clip into my pocket... Keep the non-conformist energy flowing Mr. Bjorn!
Can’t wait to read your JomsViking books in English Bjorn ! Much love from America !
Found your channel and I totally enjoy your conversations with us. Your a breath of humanity. Please keep sharing your thoughts with us. 😘
Bjorn I love Norway. In the 80s I was a British Commando who worked with Norwegian and other NATOs Forces in your land. If you and your people would accept me into your county nowadays now I would happily come and contribute and support like minded people.
Calm, peaceful philosopher. Awesome vlog!
I do the same thing you do with knives, except with guns! Skal! Pennsylvania!
You are a great man bjorn.
I watch all your videos and I consider you as a mentor your a genuine man with a heart of gold.
"Woodsman philosopher" 👍😀
Always good to hear from you Uncle Bjorn. Great advice at the end to take a day a week at least off the grid.
Thank you so much for making these videos. You remind me so much of my dad in every way. ❤️🙌🏻
Good day I have a Mora it's a good one full tang..to let you know I made a bold choice moved my elders left behind everything except for what is the most important..for us it is our family Crest our books handwritten and passed down to us family tree..we can start over and rebuild but somethings are extremely valuable my heritage..it is worth dying for. Character is what you are when no one else is watching..as always thank you for your videos and time..what a lovely place to spend your day..my father told me I should go back home where we come from and see it for myself.
It’s always a pleasure listening to you
Great video, as always. It's Saturday here in Maryland, USA. You have the superior attitude of a survivor. Stay safe and sane!😎
Hello, I heard that archaeologists in Norway have begun the first excavation of a Viking ship in more than a century. That's really cool! Awesome channel by the way 👍
I love that you talk to us from the woods, where you love to be, and with your coffee. I happen to have a cup of tea right now so it feels like a regular catch up betwen us, ha ha, me and a few thousand others! Its great to hear a voice of kindness, and of your obvious love for the world, just not necessarily for how it is now though! But it will all come good. I hope you feel that too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊😊
Bjorn, in the UK, we work all our Lives just to have it stolen away from Us in later life and given to People who haven't worked for it! You are very lucky in Norway to be able to find uninhabited places, The UK is filling up very fast! Love watching Your vlogs, 👍
Many koselig Norwegian things to see. Thank you. Also love the concept of moral compass. Good video.
Bjorn, could you do a video on knife sharpening. Thanks
