Hope see you in Wales..
Come to Cymru brother, I will show around the ancient sacred sites and give you the history and mythology, would be an honour. Y Brenin Arthur (King Arthur) and Myrddin (Merlin) in Ynys Afallon (Avalon Isle/Tor/Glastonbury) and give you the original Welsh history of the area ✌🏼
@@DancingShiva42 could I go too! ?living in wynnedd
@@olgaholow2901 yes of course
@@Laters3 Neil would love the story about the stolen ATM and SHEEP! Holy smokes...btw Bjorn, loved the beautiful scenery of England, you are a regular Robin Hood nestled in the woods. Never been there, but if I go, I will bring some serious rain gear. "now that it is not raining [looks like rain to me, by any definition].. well, not that much..."
England has changed a lot over the decades. It's now overcrowded with economic migrants everywhere and restriction rules up to the hilt. It is illegal to wild camp but, lots of people still do it. Scotland is much preferred with less rules and beautiful wild landscapes. Always plenty of rain but, when the sun appears there is nothing more magical for one's eyes to rest upon, the views are stunning.
Some of the rules are quite sensible though
It’s hard to understand why some prefer a concrete jungle over the natural beauty’s that a forest provides.
Concrete jungle?
@@strawman3059 city
It’s not that they prefer it, it’s because they know nothing else. I was lucky, although brought up in that concrete jungle, I had a family who took me out into the countryside and taught me about wildlife. I live, now, in the countryside and worked on wildlife reserves with youngsters from major towns some of them have never seen two trees standing side by side and think that milk just comes from a supermarkets! It is so sad but all we can do is give these youngsters a view of another life.
I totally agree when I have enough money I’m getting the heck out of the suburbs and move to Oregon. I totally prefer the mountains and forests over the city and suburbs.
Because to move to the country is more expensive and if it wasn’t more houses would be built then there is no country side
Englands nature got something mythical to it.
That’s the bull 😂
Yes. Tolkien wrote about it as Middle Earth.
whats left of it. you walk for a few miles and its another village or town, by definition no wild left at all.
@@sleepingphoenix1281 that was mainly wales, not all england
You are correct.!! All those invading Vikings over the centuries can’t be all wrong.!!!😁
You are absolutely spot on Bjorn, I am English but camping over here is not easy. There are too many rules and people will view you with suspicion everywhere you go. And being a small land with 75 million people it's very hard to truly get away into nature.
Norway on the hand has much more vast wilderness and it's much easier to get away from people, what's the population about 5.5 million I think. I would love to live in Norway some day to truly be able to live in nature.
Yeah totally agree I live in Wales and you can't go too far without running into a barrier of some kind, Ireland is much better especially the west coast, a smaller Island but only 4 million people and you can walk for days and not see anyone.
I’m up in Scotland and our rules are much more relaxed,our problem is fools who take advantage of the outdoors and destroy it in the process of using it
This is hyperbole
I camp wherever in England I damn well feel like! The worst bother I've ever had was about six weeks ago, camping behind some holiday lets in the Surrey Hills. Had some young lads come past shouting "hello" at my tent whilst I was trying to sleep, and then in the morning I think I upset a posh lady whose dog came and sat in my lap. People are usually pretty relaxed about it. The further from the cities and the "new money" rich you get the less anyone seems to care. Just pitch late, break camp early, and don't leave a mess behind.
@@stevenarnott9800 Me too Mate, though near the English border. I went a couple of weeks ago for a hike and decided to go into a local wood to light a fire and cook a meal. I was soon confronted by an angry land owner, he soon calmed down, but kids were chopping off loads of trees to build a "den", they'd cut off about fifty young trees at waist height with an axe. They do no one any favours.
Looks like you are in southern England which is one of the most densely populated places in Europe. For more of a wilderness feel you need to go north - the Pennines, Cumbria and Northumberland; and of course all of Scotland (where wild camping is legal). Great wild camping up there although can’t help with the weather sorry!
From the Wolds but I would even say anything north of the Humber is more worth while to visit in terms of wilderness than the south. That region was called Jorvik, Norwegian ancestors would have inhabited there.
You can get used to the rain.....The first 30 years are the worst😉.
🤔😃😆😂
You should try Scotland next, the mountains are so beautiful and the land is more wild.
I went to the Isle of sky 4 years ago so very beautiful did not want to go home.
@@Treeman84 the same with me and Scotland lol
Been apealing to bjorn about Scotland for long time,,, he doesn't know much about UK hiking just my opinion
@@dwaynechalmers9478 I mean he is Norwegian
Scotland's beautiful, but on the way I want him to stop in North Yorkshire. Plenty of Woodland here.
Thank you for sharing Bjorn. I agree with what you say England can be beautiful but the lack of forests is sad and the rules treat us like babies.
UK a small place, plenty of woodland where I live in Surrey, just need to be stealthy
England is a land steep in myth and mystery. The echoes of our pre-Norman forebears still echo in the hills if you're willing to hear it. Honoured to have you visit Anglaland!
Englisc... well written, so true.
Bjorn should feel at home , the angles were from Denmark 🙂
Thank you for choosing our beautiful country to visit I hope you were treated respectfully and had a lovely time.
England was once as forested as yours but over the years and with many ships built we lost our great forests, we are replanting as much as allowed but it will never be the same.
I feel for you Bjorn. You just cannot get away from the noise of traffic in most of England. The small, once beautiful island is so overcrowded and getting worse. When I was young it was easy to go wild camping in counties like Dorset and the New Forest and nobody bothered as long as you were careful. Now landowners are rightly suspicious and housing developments, car parks, litter and regulations spoil the wild places anyway. I gave up and moved to Normandy, it`s still quiet here and a bit like Devon was years ago.
Come to Cymru brother, I will show you around the ancient and sacred sights and give you the mythology - would be an honour. The Celts and Vikings have a great history together, we still have lots of Scandinavian names for places here in Wales. Can give you the original story and history of Y Brenin Arthur, Myrddin and Ynys Afallon on modern day Somerset. Yma o hyd ✌🏼
Brilliant to have you here Bjorn, hope you enjoy, we need more good men like you visiting us.
Awesome to see you in England Bjorn, there's some parts of England's nature that has a mythical element to it. I'm sure you get a similar feeling when exploring the nature in Norway.
I grew up in the 60ts and 70ts and what a great childhood it was we felt free to roam and I did I spent my time out in nature when ever I could but today I'm nearly 60 and I feel so confined and restricted by all the rules England is a shadow of what it once was..
The Viking has arrived!!
Toll the bells!!
I'm English and have visited Norway a few times. I have driven (shared driving) from Tromso to Alta and it took about 8 hours. In that time, you could drive well over half the length of England. I think England does pretty well to preserve its countryside being so small and with such a high population, but like you, I don't like the rules and regulations. Norway is so big, sparsely populated and beautiful. Keep posting the videos.
Bjorn, if you are still in the UK, the Galloway Forest Park and the Rhinns of Kells might be right up your street. It's proper wild in places and being in Scotland you can camp anywhere
I`m not sure he would be so keen on the rain up there if he thinks Hampshire is wet!
@@HarryFenton6124 Haha. That's very true at the moment. It's like monsoon season
@@planetzogg1 I stuck it for 23 years. A beautiful wild area but if it wasn`t raining it was midgy.
There is something about a deep dark forest that I love. I imagine adventure around every corner and a what lurks in the shadows kind of feeling! I guess I never outgrew those feelings of magic and wonder from my childhood. Be safe friend Bjorn!
England is overpopulated, developed and the land is very domesticated. However, it has a remarkable variety of landscapes for such a small landmass and many beautiful old buildings, with a wide range of styles from different periods in history. There is a deep sense of the past there. Peaceful places can be found but they are few and far between. I am sorry to see the weather was not so good.
I totally agree with you
Glad to have you here Bjorn🙂
Hope you dried out!
If you ever come to England again the North of the country is much less densely populated and there are a lot of places you could overnight without being bothered. We wildcamp all the time around the Penines , Peak district and Lake district. You're welcome anytime if you are over here.
Yes I have camped in the lake district so very beautiful.
@Matthias Tree Man.
Yeah the lakes is gorgeous but it's getting more crowded, particularly South Lakes around Windermere.
Lots of nice spots in N E Lancs around Trough of Bowland. The invite of course extends to you as well.
The best sleep, by far, i get in a tent during rain. Warm in my sleeping bag, the noise of wind and rain.. for me it's perfect :-)
I'm sorry for your migraine; thank you verry much for making this vid nonetheless 👍
Greets from the Netherlands, T.
How wonderful that you’re in England, I hope you’re having a great time, you are so very welcome here!
You are so fortunate! I watch British crime series(any of them) just to see the English countryside!
It's great to see you here in England Bjorn! You are always welcome!
I live in Suffolk and have done so for 50 years. Apart from the occasional postage stamp sized patch of forest, all we have here is a patchwork of fields separated by man-made hedgerows, filling the space between one town or city to the next. As they continue to to build on it, this gap is gradually shrinking, and they even build on the so called Green Belt. Incredible how a bit of money will grease the wheels and allow those making these rules to ignore them if it suits their own crooked agendas.
Most of these scrubby patches of forest I mentioned are privately owned and surrounded by fences and signs that prohibit entry, or the woods have been 'managed' by the local councils, where they have chopped up bark and placed it all over the ground to create designated walkways, and then added childish signs telling you where to go. I'd like to tell THEM where to go!
For me to find anything approaching 'nature' I'd have to travel to either Wales or Scotland unfortunately.
I'm greatly saddened by the fact that I will never see this land as it used to be, when largely covered in trees, with plenty of wild animals roaming about.
Britain is now very high on the list of countries with a high percentage of creatures at risk of extinction too.
Couple all of this with the rather low opinion held of anybody camping anywhere other than the dull camp sites, and the list of rules that hold sway here. It's a far cry from what it was and could be.
We also have Heritage companies sticking up fences in places that could once be visited freely, and often charging extortionate prices for entry. Land's End is a notable one. I used to go there as a child and always enjoyed the experience. The last time I went I saw what they have done to the place and turned away in disgust. They had no right whatsoever to fence it in. It belongs to the people. Why did we let them do it? Amazing really.
The east coast of America is one town blending into the next as you say and now with the new push for ESG coupled with the greased wheels it seems very little natural land will be left free from some man made thing. Wind farms and solar farms filling in the rest. Seems to me climate activist are anti environmentalists.
Bjorn I agree, Norway has a lot more wilderness than England. I am currently in Florida, Usa...basically stuck here but if I someday can move to Europe it will be Norway for the history, culture and nature! 👍💪🔨
Scotland is the place you want to go if your looking for wilderness and huge forests
I've been watching your other channel and now this. I can't tell you how much your videos and deep wisdom and respect for nature touches me. My mother was from Sweden and my Father from Norway. I had a huge family growing up, listening to tales from them in their deep, mellow accents. I am 57 now and all my family is gone, my mom and dad, 12 uncles and 14 aunts and 22 cousins. I have 2 cousins left but they live very far away. I just mean to express to you that you remind me so much of my uncles and how they shared such similarities with you, your views, opinions and advice. I grew up thinking my uncles were the wisest men in my life. Thank you for your time and effort sharing all your videos.
Tree has big heart , says Robinhood loves Maid Marian
Wow Bjorn! Great to see you exploring the woods in England 😊😎❤
Skal Bjorn,greetings from the ohio woods,,there is an old saying where I'm from that goes"if it's not raining anywhere else in the world,it's probably raining in England", blessings to you and your family//dogs,, stay strong my friend
Lovely to see you walking in my homeland in landscapes very familar to me. English Yew trees are some of the oldest trees in Europe, they don't tend to have a massive trunk because the heartwood rots in the damp climate but they keep getting bigger where the branches touch the grpind and root. They can be 2000+ years old.
Great to see you in England, Bjorn :D and totally agree with you.. this is why I head up north to the mountains.. I can disappear for days and no one is asking what I'm up to, no road noise, get away from signs & fences, just nature. If I plan carefully I can barely see anyone at all, it's bliss 😍
Although the wild areas in UK will never compare to those in other countries, size-wise. We are too many people crammed on to a small island
Sorry you got the best of our weather too 😄🌧 Hope you're having a nice week and have dried out hehe :) Claire 🐻
I don’t think I’ve ever truly felt alone whilst in the wilderness in England, you’ll always bump into someone, even in what you would think is a remote area. As for the weather, that’s just how it is 😂 amazing how quickly we have recovered from the summer heat and drought. I do hope you’ll come back and try hiking in other areas of Britain though.
Bloody hell the Vikings are back…. 😀😀
OMG, you are a lot closer than I thought, just over in the next valley. Will let my neighbours know the Vikings are back…. 😀😀 Welcome to England 🏴 you are very welcome. 😀
haha, as a woman I am going to hide somewhere
You picked perfect time to arrive Bjorn, Wood Walks in Autumn are beautiful.
There is Beauty everywhere and things to be seen and learned from, everywhere in the world when we have opened our minds.
So cool to see you in England, it’s my dream to go to Norway and see all the endless forest instead of plains and rainy weather.
Norwegians once came from the endless forests to the plains and rainy weather. Some even settled, now we all want to go back I guess.
@@lordwhyte haha yeah, too true.
I also love how baffled you were of the yew trees! Growing up all my life seeing them around and mainly in church yards, but it's one of those things you'd take for granted. They are awesome trees.
What’s funny is that large parts of England are still under a hose pipe ban.
It's also funny I live in Norfolk one of the dryist places in the UK and we never had a hosepipe ban at all this year.
It's a shame your trip to old blighty didn't go as planned, Bjorn. If you ever fancy trying it again, perhaps try somewhere like Dartmoor as it's got a lot more wilderness and because of it being situated in the south of England the climate is a tad more agreeable. 👍 Keep up your great work, and congrats on the success of novel.
I agree with you mate. The only problem like you said, is that there isn't enough of it.
Welcome to England Bjorn . Its not always raining (just half the time 😂). It is a shame about the amount of rules and access to wildcamping spots to. It can be done , but sadly not like your neck of the woods . Take care . Hope you're dry now 👍
Bjorn. Rain! Welcome to England. Haha. My country is really beautiful in the sunshine. Thanks for your post.
Hope you will be coming to North West Wiltshire, I'm close to Avebury silbury hill and West Kennet long barrow and the highest hill in the hole of south. Oh and I bet you're going see our good friend the woodlander 🤫. Enjoy my England 👍🏻
I'd of bought you a pint if I'd known you were near by, I'm just down the road on the coast facing the Isle of Wight. Exactly the spot where you pitched your tent at 5:18 I have a photo of my middle child holding her sisters hand whilst taking her first clumsy steps, she's now in her teens. Seeing that spot brought back a lovely memory...thanks.
Oh you live very close to where we were the.
@@Treeman84 Yes, I live the sea end of the Meon valley, shame about the weather for you both, I do know some much quieter spots on the downs for camping. All the best.
Old Winchester Hill is a beautiful spot, the burial mounds are incredible. Hope you enjoyed England, Bjorn
😃 Seems that weather in England is as rainy as it is in middle of Finland. Everything gets wet no matter what you do. North Finland is much dryer. And I agree that hammock is best place to sleep. I have quite lot of neck and shoulder problems and in hammock I can sleep over 10 hours straight and not feeling stiff and pain. Nice video.
It’s wonderful to see you visiting the UK. A very warm and friendly greeting from England. I appreciate and value your fantastic videos and narrative. Have a great time 👌👍
That's a lot of longbows! 🌳
Hi Bjorn. As a native Englishman, I can tell you that October is not a good month for camping in the UK. If you return in May 2023, you'll enjoy it much better, and it's much warmer too. Scotland is the only part of the UK where you can legally wild-camp without restrictions.
Rubber boots called 'Wellington Boots' will keep your feet dry in wet weather conditions.
Hello Bjorn, greetings from NZ. England has a very beautiful and rich history attached to its countryside, but to me it seems very tame and civilized when it comes to wild camping. Here in NZ, it is very rugged and wild, one can take off into the wilderness for months at a time and not see a soul in all that time. The rules are less and as long as you don't burn down the forest there is no time limit on how long you can stay. So far this year I have done 47 tramps (hikes) with more to come. We have trees that are over 1000 years old, and to sleep under them is amazing. When the world turns upside down and all has gone bad, I know where I will be when it comes a knocking. Enjoyed the video, ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺
Awesome. Great to see the video now. ❤️
In Germany there are countless rules too. Unfortunately. Let the heart bleed a little, everytime I see how wonderful you have in Norway. ❤️
We call it 'pissing down'! Happens all the time... welcome to England big man!
A Norseman travels abroad!
Hi Bjorn. Great to see you in England. I bet camping here was a whole different experience! We have some beautiful places here, some very mystical.....it's just we're not allowed to be in it. But we have some great activists that are trying to change that. 🙂
Wow, you are in England! Shame you didn't come a month ago, we had a long drought over the summer and it was very, very dry! The rains have only just started.
It is very difficult to get peace and quiet and solitude, especially in the south of England. You can see why English people complain about the weather! When my Norwegian friend visited, she told me 'There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.' I am not convinced :D I wish you could have seen Dartmoor here in the county of Devon, or the Lake District, more space and less noise. I hope you recover from your damp experience. Yes, we have some beautiful, ancient trees.
Dear sir Bjorn
Thank you for taking us with you
And your new adventure in England
A new experience
And you made the best if it
Thank you for the adventure
Keep on trucking
I'm 53 & i've never in my life seen as much rain as I did in 2022, in England.
I love being in a tent when it's pouring with rain or a storm, as long as the inside stays dry.
Good to see you and Mattais out in the forests
I can see why our ancestors would have wanted to lay down roots there. Very beautiful, thank you Bjorn! It's similar here in the U.S. as well with all kinds of rules and laws against camping or cross country hiking. It's rather sad.
You need a raised bed... Look at the bright side... Catch that water... You can use wash your cloths and boil and drink cook you need a extra tarp to keep dry spot stay on high ground...
Your a real man
If your ever in the East Lothian area then the Ormiston Yew is well worth a visit, the oldest tree in Britain is the Fortingall Yew near Loch Tay, which has unfortunately been badly damaged over the years.
Wow. I don't think I could ever get used to the traffic noise. I live in the backwoods of East Texas. It is very quiet here.
I am lucky to live in the southeastern US. We also have endless miles of dense forest. Sometimes my biggest issue is finding a clear enough spot to put up a tent or tarp shelter, the mountain laurels and azaleas are so thick!
Hey, nice trip! I am so glad Mathias and you were able to meet up and spend some time outdoors! I wish the weather had been better for you - it is never fun being wet & cold. I loved the scenery around the narrow walking trail on the sloping hillside! Thanks for sharing, Bjørn! :)
England has some great charms but it is marred by endless pettifogging rules and being incredibly overcrowded. The only real wilderness in the UK is way up North in Scotland. While I hope you enjoyed your trip here, I see far more beauty in your videos of Norway than I have ever seen in England.
Even in winter time it's mostly damp weather 😄 looks like a good camping spot.
I have been looking forward to watch this now I'm nice and dry.
One reason Norway has more wilderness is you have many less people. We are sixty eight million in this small island.
I am English I would recommend the coast to coast walk through the lake district Yorkshire dales and North York moors the best holiday I ever had they call it wainwrights walk
You should go camping in Scotland- it is legal to camp anywhere and there's a lot more wilderness. The weather can be challenging too.
A modern Viking in the english countryside!👍🌲🍁🧔🏔️
What a great video, I'm glad you and Mathias got to hike through England together. Safe travels Bjorn.
Come to Wales we're like England but better in every way. All kidding aside there's some amazing country side in the UK and I will never know why people gravitate to our cities instead
You’re never too far from an old Yew tree in Britain and Ireland.
Welcome to my country.
I never use a tent because of the damp, just tarp it.
Very good to see you here Sir.
Don't worry about any stupid camping laws just do your thing, it cannot be illegal for a man or woman to lay down on the ground & go to sleep without paying for the pleasure, they don't go chasing the deer about the place saying "this is private land you cannot sleep here"
Take care.
I was impressed when I watched the lady in the van at how counterintuitive laws about fellow humans space can be in England. A certain etiquette to be respectful but not really kind. An uneasy relationship with travelers, Gypsies and Campers.
Really cool to see you here! You're right, there are so many rules around camping. Camping to a lot of Brits is staying at camp sites with on site facilities, I'd say a lot of British people are sensitised to wild camping and they don't even consider it, and that probably has something to do with the laws and the small amount of real remote wilderness there is here. But we have some really whimsical and magical nature in the UK, lots of ancient forests, Snowdonia in Wales is beautiful.
Unfortunately there are not that many ancient forests left in snowdonia. It seems to be a pretty commercial logging operation in most places. Still nice though, and pine forest is pretty good for camping in with a hammock in bad weather. No fires in summer in there.
@@campervanman5340 you're right, the Snowdonia comment was meant to be separate, as it's well known for its mountains, but I see how it could be taken out of context with how I put it. England has more of the ancient forests, I'm planning on going to Padley Gorge in Nottingham soon.
I will gladly give you a tour of the Peak District Bjorn! A house during your stay as well!
Bjorn. We in the UK take the rain, so you don't have to! It really doesn't rain all the time, as we can get droughts too. Don't be knocked back by all the rules...some are just put there because they can, and personal judgement is your best guide.
Thanks for the great content as always. It was great to see you experiencing the English countryside, as limited as that may be.
The wet weather and the rules around wild camping here are challenging. For the weather best give up trying to be dry and focus on clothing and sleep systems that dry quickly. For the rules on wild camping being stealthy helps, earthy cours or camo, with reduced noise and light.
I hope that your experience of Britain didn't leave you too traumatised 😊!
WELCOME....Bjorn........if you manage to get to london ..you can come and have a look at my allotment ..its in highgate there is a station there....if not all the best on your tour ..of this green and pleasant land...
What amazing scenery and forests!
Scotland and Wales have great wilderness that’s very open and vast with no motorways near by, I assume you will enjoy Scotland much more
You have discovered why the English talk about the weather so much!
Nice to experience something different sometimes. The wilderness we have in Norway is highly appreciated 🙏
I have only recently discovered this and your other channel. I am a long time lover of the outdoors and wild camper/bush crafter. If you think it rains a lot in England you should try the North of Scotland where I now live😂 keep up the good work
Wish I had got the chance to meet you, our different counties offer such beauty when out in the countryside. ❤
I think you came here at the wrong time of year. In the summer you will have a very different experience. Getting away from roads can be a challenge. I'm glad that you got to see though that here - your lifestyle does not quite work the same way. You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place that has not been completely overrun with roads, industry and farms.
So you have come again, bastard Viking marauder!
Welcome Bjorn, to our 'green & pleasant land' - sorry about the weather, but it rains more in lovely Wales , I think... clouds can't get past the mountains 🤣
I have mentioned I also follow Jona Jinton in the north of Sweden. I would love to see you go up there. The Northern lights r spectacular. You give things an old world feel.
Jolly good times 👍
Hello Jonne how are you doing?
Here in the South Eastern United States, we have these trees called Live Oaks. They can be wider than a car, with branches that dig into the earth.
Would you consider the idea of hiking the west highland way next year, the scenery is epic and the people you meet along the trail are inspirational and of course, you can camp almost anywhere, within reason of course.
It's more peaceful than the last time a norwegian decided to take a trip to england
Oh thank you for giving me such a good laugh! !...Yes, it is hard to find anywhere that is not built up with sound of traffic on the roads and villages in England and you DID pick the wettest time we have had in years. It isn't normally such bad weather. So funny seeing the shot with it looking as though it was "in the wilds" and then the cyclist going past the hedge.....and the campsite lol....and bit abut the police car lol. (I call my channel TAME wild because it is impossible to find anywhere truly Wild, it is all heavily controlled/can't wild camp/signs up saying do this /can't t do that etc)....but we still have lots of beautiful areas, though just not just not truly Wild and certainly no wilderness.😀
