@@Francois_Dupont I'm not sure how much into law it is, also if it is, no one is enforcing it, we don't have "garden police" 🤪. But people have told me that you're not allowed to have them in your garden. I understand why people love them, and yes they are indigenous to Canada/America, so that makes sense. But here they can cover such big area's, that there is no space for native species, so there is a risk
Never had much interest in visiting Sweden. But this video has made me realise how beautiful,wild and rugged it is. Definitely added to my bucket list!
South sweden/the coasts, is where civilization is in Sweden. The further north you go, the more "Just forests, lakes and rivers" it is. So yeah, if you want to see miles and miles of just wilderness you have to go further north in sweden.
Absolutely beautiful, honestly felt like I was watching something on the Discovery channel. You're editing skills are superb and your calm and kind voice is pleasant to listen too. Well done, Well done!
Well, there’s a reason so many Scandinavians chose to settle in Minnesota. They felt at home there. And the architecture is similar because so many of the settlers in Minnesota were Scandinavian. I mean, even the Minnesota dialect sounds a lot like a Swede speaking English…
America does have some amazing diversity in landscape. Mountains, northern forest, desert, coastline and huge lakes. Everything except rainforest. You would be most welcome!
As a Stockholmer I really need to visit the north more often. Only travelled as far north as Jämtland so far, but there is so much more beauty to explore even further.
This was amazing, Alex. As someone who spends a lot of free time traveling Sweden, you captured the essence of Swedish beauty so well. I hope you had an amazing time!
I grew up in the north of Sweden (outside Umeå) and half the things you do in this video I have done hundreds of times and certainly take for granted. It’s great to see a fresh mindset to everything, this video certainly had me appreciating my hometown and the surrounding areas a lot more than usual!
we in kiruna make fun of people living in umeå because you guys are so damn urban like the rest of sweden while we eat raw smoked reindeermeat and camp with tents in -30-40 on a regular basis if you like the nature
I grew up on the west cost of Sweden near Gothenburg. When I graduated high school I decided I wanted to move up north so I began studying engineering in Luleå where you landed :). I've been living here for over three years now and I absolutely love it. So glad you decided to visit, hope to see you again here sometime.
Lucky enough to call myself Swedish and spending a lot of time in these woodlands. Inside the arctic circle in mid July is the most magical experience, and I get to live it for 10 days each summer. Makes the winters worth it.
Need to take that chance and ask you 😅: What month would you advice to me for visiting sweden? And which city to start with? I live near the bavarian alps, beautiful landscape and mountains, but I would be so interested in exploring other countries natures 😊
I have an old Volvo like Rolan, and about 8 months ago, I totaled her. I have spent every moment since working on her, and it has shown me just how beautiful those cars are, both externally and internally. Beautiful product of Sweden
Your channel is wonderful, Alex. The subject-matter, as well as the videography, is so nice! I feel like I’m on one of these adventures, along with you. Many thanks!
For a person that grew up in lapland, there is so much beauty I take for granted that a lot of people rarely if ever gets to experience. It is a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend visiting the mountains both at summer for the hiking experience and winters for the snowmobile!
I got so emotional from this video. I am a swede myself and grew up on the west coast of Sweden. I love going to northern Sweden to relax and live a more primitive life, but I haven't been able to in the last couple of years so this brought me back. Great video Alex!
There is a swedish song that is called : du ska inte sova bort sommarnatten which litterally means you shouldn't speep away the summer night. And it continues with instead you should be walking under the leafy birchtrees with me holding hands. And as songs goes its one of my favourite songs we learnt in school.
Definetly one of the best reviews of the type of experiences of the real northern Sweden. Most foreigners that come only go about halfway up and call that northern Sweden, but you went almost all the way north. You should come back in winter for snowmobile and ice fishing.
@@saltburner2 Yeah, depends on the person to be honest, me personally I'd just read books and learn, do tedious tasks etc the winter is like a reset season where one can catch up and do things they otherwise couldn't.
@@Anonymoose66G you still gotta work dude. Imagine getting out of bed, to be greeted with so much snow it's above your door. You gotta spend the whole morning shoveling your way out of your house, to your car, that will be frozen, so you gotta bring an extention cord and a hair fan and melt the ice on the door handle, all the while your boss is getting mad you're late as fuck and you're so stressed you dont even have time to check ur phone to tell him ur late, forgot to mention it's -20 degrees (celcius) and it's so damn cold you can feel it through your bones. This is just one bad morning out of a full on year of harsh, harsh harsh winter weather. If you work outside, it will be even worse. Then the darkness is the aspect noone understands who doesnt live here. 7 months of a darkness and lack of light that barely can be understood by outsiders, will leave you feelnig depressed and empty alot of those days. It's something you never get used to, but every swede has the kinda "here we go again 😩" and get's a bunch of PTSD flashbacks from childhood leaving home for school in complete darkness and when returning, also in complete darkness. lmao. Maybe I'm exaggereating abit here but after 7 months of this you just won't feel good. trust me bro.
@@siegpasta Yeah i couldnt live up there full time. It would be awsome to have a summer house somewhere up in the north, but in the winters i want none of it haha. It's bad enough where i live in Västerås. just like 5 hours of sun a day when you are at work and very cold mornings and last winter was schizofrenic. It cold be sunny for 1 week and be around 10+ and next week 0 sun and -15 and it went on like that for majority of the winter. Normally it's just cold and dark..
9:15 the tent you went into is a Sami yurt tent. The Sami is an indigenous people who live in the north of Sweden (and parts of Norway and Finland). They have some big stretches of land and have an exclusive right to own reindeer since it is a part of their traditional culture. Some people get mad at this for all kinds of reasons but I think it is a good thing to preserve the Sami culture as much as possible.
Now this was absolutely gorgeous. Your so humble. I enjoyed every moment caught on your videos. Meeting and enjoying the first days their with the local people and enjoying food Light even thou it being late in the night Did it keep you off guard or did you have a alarm to keep pace of your day. That was so much fun. Especially watching the wild life their, and also staying with a professional fisherman and learning how to perserve fish. Sweden so beautiful. Thank you . Cheers
Thank you for this beautiful video, makes Me miss home So Much more . My husband thought that sauna and beer and the wilderness were the most relaxing aspects of our trip back in 2018 when I first too him to my home country (Estonia) .
Your best video so far since we started watching you and subscribed. Awesome trip you had. Made us want to move there. The scenery was amazing. Great footage and you show a great story.
Thank you for taking us along. Just beautifully done! All the food, the saunas, the warm people and the beautiful Mother Nature, makes this my dream trip.
Born in sweden, living in Västerbotten and just love your way of showing my homeland in this beutiful way ❤ You have a peaceful way of speaking and the way you show the small things like the lupin, the frog and all the details is wonderful! Good job and welcome back soon 😊
From watching you with your brother fishing in the early days of Carl and Alex, and watching you now is amazing. Your videos are amazing and beautiful to watch. You are so inspirational and a joy to watch. Thankyou. Amazing work 👏 🙌
Hi Alex. The algorithm brought your wonderful videos to my attention. Got to say that you have a great outlook about life. Thank you for sharing your adventures, your projects and your thirst for life.
Wow! Ive been watching your videos for some time and Its nice that you came and visited Sweden, or more importantly, Norrland! :D Im born and raised here and I will never leave.
Loved this Alex. I spent 6 months living in Kouvola, Finland in the early 90’s and it took me back. I could never get used to the long days even with blackout’s
Great video, Sweden is on my list to visit and explore. Looks so beautiful and peaceful. Keep the videos coming…what about Finland or Iceland next 🤷🏼♂️😊
Feels great to see someone so genuinly enjoy the area i grew up in. Another place in the area i would highly recommend checking out is the island of Sandskär out in the national park archipelago. An absolutely beutiful place. There's tour boats running out there all summer and you can also stay in a cabin there. And if you're ever out there and see a man limping around by the name of Mats, say hello to my father for me. It's his favourite place on earth and he spends most of the summers out there. He'll be more than likely to offer you a cup of coffee and tell you all about the area.
Beautiful video. You really managed to show off the beauty our country has to offer in a wonderful and casual yet professional way. Really makes me miss the north of Sweden.
What beautiful places you travel to alex and they always look so peaceful and amazing and the people are so friendly and nice and you always find the most beautiful places nice one alex 🎣👌😁👍
I also believe that their blueberries can be found in upland UK also. I think they are 'blaeberries' (scottish) or whimberry / whinberry (welsh / north england). We have a glut in late July, early August in south Wales. Grow in similar places - non deeply vegitated banks / close too heather sometimes. Much darker than shop 'blueberries'. Crumble them / eat them with venison / make a wine out of them seems to be most popular thing to do!
Great video Alex, what a fantastic trip! Sweden is definitely on my to-do list for travel. Those places you stayed just looked incredible, could see me just sitting their with my fishing rods out
Hello Alex glad you had a great time in the Swedish lapland ,wonderful scenery the trees the sun the lake the flowers ,nice cabin the people are amazing, Sweden is such a spectacular place, thanks for taking us along on your journey, stay safe
Cool. I live in Sweden, and have never been there. And regarding blueberries, they are all over Sweden, and I read somewhere that only 5 % of the 250 000 ton of blueberries growing in Swedish forrests are picked every year, so there's alot of improvement possible to that.
This was a very interesting video lapland is a fantastic place I spent 4 day's there in the winter months your experience there looked amazing with some great people atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
What an absolute STELLAR Video. You have such an adventurist soul! Everyone in my family watched it on the Big Screen which made you life size basically. Everyone here were fixed to the screen, all 35 minutes. We can't figure out how you stumble on such great places to venture to. [1] The Lupines were so gorgeous in the field. I would have loved to have had some of those Swedish variety of seeds. [2] Good to see you driving on the Left side of the vehicle, which of course is the Right side (correct side). lol [3] PIA and Henry's Cabin was so fantastic. So many family members or friends could fit in there. What a great adventure place. We bookmarked it and it's on the option list for family getaways. [4] I think I mentioned this before, but I grow Organic Barley, Hops, Rye, and Malt for Micro-Breweries. In exchange for reasonable prices, they bring various kinds of beers and other alcohols as gifts for the quality of my grains. it's really nice of them to share with us. [5] Good thing you didn't approach the Moose,, they are very aggressive. My older brother got chased by one and he barely got away from it, by jumping a fence. THANK YOU again for such an Inspirational, and very adventurous video. We all, in our family, can't wait for your next videos.
To Awsome Alex!! My mom's family is from Finland and my dad's family is from Sweden. I would love to visit there, and meet more of my family still there. My mom's family settled in Fort Bragg California, my dad's family settled in Shelton Washington. Greatly enjoy your travel vids. 😊
Thank you for this, Alex. I'm moving to Lisbon from Stockholm next week and my grandparents are from Luleå. I will 100% go back to this whenever I get homesick. Great video, as always ✌️
What a beautiful film Alex❤You have so captured the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of the countryside and lakes as well as the wild animals you encountered.❤
@@huuvahideaway6575 Thanks a lot :) We are planning to go by car to have the adventure of a roadtrip. How are the roads during winter? Thats probably my biggest concern since its quite an adventure to go so far north :D
@@nicz7694 i would say they are adequate 🙂 The bigger roads are usually well kept and gets plowed all the time. The smaller roads can be quite a lot worse. I would definitely recommend studded tires. As long as youre prepared, dont exceed the speed limit or drive beyond your ability you should be fine.
@@nicz7694 i honestly dont know but snow chains are not commonly used in sweden because everyone living in the snowy parts of sweden uses studded tires :-) Dont let me discourage you from coming here. Preparations and expecting the worst is key because you´ll be pleasantly surpised 🙂
Absolutely incredible video Alex! Everything looked like so much fun. And the I can imagine was out of this world! Looking forward to you next video. Cheers
very beautiful vid from a very beautiful country. visited Sweden three years ago for the first time. this summer for the third time;-). next year again. you stayed in super lovely lodges but too expensive for me so I travel with my rooftop tent;-)
Amazing and relaxing time for me to watch as always. Keep the good job Alex. The way you get excited by discovering new things is fun to watch. I would totally stop to see the flowers too. Thank you!
Wow, Alex, stunning video. You are so inspirational. Been following you for a while now and your video’s and editing skills have become so professional. Thanks for keeping me entertained. I am no longer living in the UK so your dry humour keeps me well entertained. Thanks and keep the work coming.
So funny place naarajärvi is Finnish word also liehittelijä😅 but you were so up to north and close to Finland that’s why they had Finnish words called places. So nice and cool video❤ love all your videos. Because of your videos I started gardening and my grandpa has always been a beekeeper but now he’s too old and my brother is going start beekeeping. I sended your beekeeping videos to my brother who was so excited. Oddly I was too so fascinated and beekeeping and wanted all your videos and started reading about beekeeping 😅 thank you for sharing all this amazing content ❤️
The flower is called Lupine and is an invasive species in Sweden. Loved the video, welcome to Sweden!
Its the same here in Finland. You're not allowed to have them in your garden anymore. It's annoying that it is invasive, because I love them 😅
Lupine flowers are invasive but can have a net positive effect on the land that they grow on. They can fertilise ground in areas where life is sparse.
@@yanapetiet4581 lol! they made it law so you cannot sow them? in Quebec they grow alot and people love them because the flower last a long time.

Make sure to go to northern Sweden, south sweden is just like any other nordic country.
@@bluebird6829 makes total sense. I'm from central Scotland so it sounds very much the same!

Thanks! :)
Its amazing how much Lapland looks like northern Minnesota. Moose, perch, blueberries...even the architecture. So interesting.
and the mosquitoes 😵
Many Swedes emigrated to northern Northern America - very similar flora & fauna to Scandinavia
Well, there’s a reason so many Scandinavians chose to settle in Minnesota. They felt at home there. And the architecture is similar because so many of the settlers in Minnesota were Scandinavian. I mean, even the Minnesota dialect sounds a lot like a Swede speaking English…
America is very beautiful and diverse. I'd like to travel across America sometime. And yeah some places look very similar to Sweden.

[1] The Lupines were so gorgeous in the field. I would have loved to have had some of those Swedish variety of seeds.
[2] Good to see you driving on the Left side of the vehicle, which of course is the Right side (correct side). lol
[3] PIA and Henry's Cabin was so fantastic. So many family members or friends could fit in there. What a great adventure place. We bookmarked it and it's on the option list for family getaways.
[4] I think I mentioned this before, but I grow Organic Barley, Hops, Rye, and Malt for Micro-Breweries. In exchange for reasonable prices, they bring various kinds of beers and other alcohols as gifts for the quality of my grains. it's really nice of them to share with us.
[5] Good thing you didn't approach the Moose,, they are very aggressive. My older brother got chased by one and he barely got away from it, by jumping a fence.
THANK YOU again for such an Inspirational, and very adventurous video.
We all, in our family, can't wait for your next videos.
simply amazing, alex. you captured your trip so beautifully
To Awsome Alex!! My mom's family is from Finland and my dad's family is from Sweden. I would love to visit there, and meet more of my family still there. My mom's family settled in Fort Bragg California, my dad's family settled in Shelton Washington. Greatly enjoy your travel vids. 😊
Sweden is soo beautiful
Sure is
Thank you for this, Alex. I'm moving to Lisbon from Stockholm next week and my grandparents are from Luleå. I will 100% go back to this whenever I get homesick. Great video, as always ✌️
Wow what an incredible experience.
Your life is so amazing!! I found myself wishing I was with you on these adventures! Thank you so so much for sharing with us 😊
Always a pleasure when you visit my beautiful country 😄
Alex, you've done it again. Another spectacular video buddy. Thank you👌
Tears of joy and gratitude to you and all involved for the making of this wonderful video ❤
What a beautiful film Alex❤You have so captured the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of the countryside and lakes as well as the wild animals you encountered.❤
You're livng the life mate, keep going! Loving the content and you appear to be enjoying it
I feel so calm when i watch his videos
Glad to see this has re-appeared - I was watching the earlier version when the screen went blank!
Really awesome Video, especially for me since Ive planning a trip to swedish lappland this year in december aswell!
Sounds like a great idea - welcome to the north of Sweden ;)!
@@huuvahideaway6575 Thanks a lot :)
We are planning to go by car to have the adventure of a roadtrip.
How are the roads during winter? Thats probably my biggest concern since its quite an adventure to go so far north :D
@@nicz7694 i would say they are adequate 🙂 The bigger roads are usually well kept and gets plowed all the time. The smaller roads can be quite a lot worse. I would definitely recommend studded tires. As long as youre prepared, dont exceed the speed limit or drive beyond your ability you should be fine.
@@magnuslarsson2993 Sounds interesting... Are snow chains fine aswell?
@@nicz7694 i honestly dont know but snow chains are not commonly used in sweden because everyone living in the snowy parts of sweden uses studded tires :-) Dont let me discourage you from coming here. Preparations and expecting the worst is key because you´ll be pleasantly surpised 🙂
i binged watched all your videos recently and was waitin for new content, u live an admirable life bro
Loved the video loved the Swedish Lapland visit ❤❤❤❤❤thx.for sharing
Always a pleasure to watch ur videos
I love watching your videos cause it seems like your living life the way you want and enjoying ever last bit. It’s truly inspiring :D
Absolutely incredible video Alex! Everything looked like so much fun. And the I can imagine was out of this world! Looking forward to you next video. Cheers
very beautiful vid from a very beautiful country. visited Sweden three years ago for the first time. this summer for the third time;-). next year again. you stayed in super lovely lodges but too expensive for me so I travel with my rooftop tent;-)
Simply stunning scenery
Amazing and relaxing time for me to watch as always. Keep the good job Alex. The way you get excited by discovering new things is fun to watch. I would totally stop to see the flowers too. Thank you!
that lulea airport parking brought back a flood of memories when i visited my friends in sweeden 😭😍
Great Vlog Alex !! What A Amazing Way To Spend A Weekend In Wilderness, Meet New People, Enjoy Great Food.
Wow what beautiful scenery.
Wow, Alex, stunning video. You are so inspirational. Been following you for a while now and your video’s and editing skills have become so professional. Thanks for keeping me entertained. I am no longer living in the UK so your dry humour keeps me well entertained. Thanks and keep the work coming.
I live in stockholm and i have never been to Lapland. Maybe I should do one of those roadtrips around sweden with friends next year!
So funny place naarajärvi is Finnish word also liehittelijä😅 but you were so up to north and close to Finland that’s why they had Finnish words called places. So nice and cool video❤ love all your videos. Because of your videos I started gardening and my grandpa has always been a beekeeper but now he’s too old and my brother is going start beekeeping. I sended your beekeeping videos to my brother who was so excited. Oddly I was too so fascinated and beekeeping and wanted all your videos and started reading about beekeeping 😅 thank you for sharing all this amazing content ❤️
an outstanding video, Alex. You had an adventure that you'll never forget. Thanks.
Love your adventures. Brilliant to see what is out there and what good people there are 👍
Amazing video, keep up the great work.
Thanks!
