The right to public access is such a magical concept to those of us who don't have it. In Texas, about the closest we have are river banks...we're allowed to camp on the close shores of waterways, but even that can be sketchy. (Many who live along rivers still assert the shorelines are theirs...and in Texas, it's best to move on rather than argue.) Scottish friends have talked about how great it is to just wander, as long as you're responsible. And while I'm sure there are those who aren't, it seems most people recognize that freedom to roam as the big thing it is and respect it.
It sounds so strange to me to allow camping on riverbanks but nowhere else. It just feels so arbitrary, to pick something like that :D But yeah, I think most people who take the effort to go out in nature here appreciate the freedom, and try to make sure that they don't abuse it. I would be heartbroken if I saw people destroying trees and stuff while out and about.
Texas is a weird place. It's wonderful (and beautiful) in so many ways, but weird. The rules with navigable waterways/rivers is really strange. It doesn't apply to [most] lakes...and what they consider "navigable" is open to interpretation. (A navigable riverbed must average 30 feet in width over its length.) But it's the closest thing I suppose we have to the right to wander...which is great if you plan a multi-day float trip on a river.
@@ChristopherGronlund....And I guess that's something very common over there. "Hiking? Nah, let's go canoeing!" ...'Cause if there's anything I think of when I hear the name Texas, it's massive rivers and lots of waterways across the state :D
I really enjoy your vlogs. They are informative but also entertaining. I will be coming over from Australia to visit with friends who live in Uppsala next June and they have asked me what I would like to see and do not only in Uppsala but throughout Sweden. Your vlogs have given me an idea of the many beautiful places to visit, things to do and foods to try as well as the etiquette to follow to ensure I do not offend. Tack så mycket!
I'm so happy to hear that! Hope you'll have a great time here, and I'm glad that I've offered some inspiration. Oh, btw if you enjoy nature I recommend checking out an area called Höga kusten, a few hours north of Uppsala. Some of the shots in this video are from there - absolutely gorgeous spot :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Tack for the suggestion. I know that my friends love nature - forage for berries and mushrooms each year - I will mention the area to them as an idea for a day trip. I am excited to see as much of Sweden as I can in the three weeks that I am there 😊
@@donnamortensen959Three weeks should be plenty of time to experience a lot of fun stuff! Fingers crossed that you'll have good weather as well - that's always a coin toss when it comes to Swedish summers :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond I have heard that the weather ranges from 10 to 21 in June which is similar to the weather we experience here in Mildura Victoria at the end of winter/start of spring . We have desert type weather in autumn, spring- cold nights, warmer days and exceptionally hot days in summer (anywhere from 32 - 45) . So I am preparing for my trip and looking to pack clothes that suit our spring/autumn (with a pair or two of shorts just in case)!
@@donnamortensen959 That's very true! And yeah, that sounds like good weather preparation. ....Except for some summers. This year we had 25+ in June for example, and a bit of a drought. Sooo, you never know what you'll get over here :D
Nice, even I didn't know the right to ride a bike everywhere. Great tip about leaving the place in a better state than when you arrived, I try to pick up old plastics in nature when I can. Curses on those who leave it there!
Nice! In UK you can forage, however, if you are foraging on private land (which is most land in the UK) you have to gain permission from the landowner, or you are doing it on a public footpath. There might also be specific area bylaws. Have a great day too! Hope you didn't get mugged.
Good to know that there are some things allowed in the UK, even if it's not as permissive as here ;) I actually didn't get mugged or yelled at at all! But a father with his kid came to look at the view for a bit...
Just got back from 4 days in Gothenburg and the southern archipelago, and enjoyed a bit of Allemansrätten. Not the sleeping rough but the berry eating 👍🤩. Great country and wonderful people. Can't wait to go back :)
That's so nice to hear! I'm happy that you had a good time - I haven't even been to the archipelago in the south yet, so that sounds like something I need to check out 😀 Cheers!
I love the Swedish laws, I must say the restrictions seem to be just common sense rules. People are the reason rules are in place, if you clean up after yourself and have respect for nature they wouldn’t have to make up so many rules, but not everybody will follow them. When we go camping I always leave the site better than we found it, common sense rule 😅. Another awesome video Stay safe till next time and have a great trip.
I wish more people thought like you! But yeah I think many Swedes would prefer to just have a general understanding to behave nice and not have any laws about it at all. But that would never work 😂
mycket sa tack for ditt svar! Tyvarr ar det fortfarande for varmt i Rom. Varfor aker du inte pa besok i Nederländerna? Dina videos ar alltid roliga. Ha det bra!@@ThreeStarVagabond
@@citroen143 Hehe, jag hade gillat värmen i Rom! Men vi har ganska bra värme här i Sverige också just nu. Jag har precis varit i Belgien åtminstone, så det kommer några videor därifrån. Det är ganska nära Nederländerna åtminstone! :)
Nice topic, it will surely come in handy for me one day! Btw, we don't have enough space in Denmark to have city dwellers running around all over the place. And besides, one could seriously argue whether we really have much nature at all worth going out into. :))
I want to go to Umeå. There's a Dutch woman that motorbikes and vlogs everywhere. She showed some free shelters. Iceland has them too. Her channel is Itchy Boots.
How many places are there in the Nordic contries that one could call 'secluded' where would one go to find the biggest stretches of land with the least population?
If you go up north there's literally places like that everywhere! All you have to do is e.g drive half a day north of Stockholm, and then it's really sparesly populated.
Probably the mountain range areas on the border with Norway, the middle of Norrbotten region or Bergslagen forests, but also one of the hundreds of thousands of uninhabited and isolated islands in the Swedish archipelago on the east coast
There are plenty of places in Sweden that you can walk for 50km and only say hello to wildlife, sometimes the are querius so bring bread, Sugarcubes and you will make friends.
I should have gone to Sweden tomorrow with my friends, but we don't go because we read a couple of articles that it is not safe to go there these days. and there is a threat of terrorist attack, is it true ? Have you heard of it? If so, what's your opinion.. thank you .. I think I'll regret that I didn't go there ,, I was in Stockholm 4 years ago and it was very nice,,, so I am sad that I will not be able to see the city again 😢
That's such a hard question to answer right now! I don't feel like Stockholm is unsafe, and I don't notice anything out of the ordinary - but the awareness level has been raised, and many are worried that something might happen. If you're a bit unsure, then it's better to be safe than sorry! Stockholm will still be here for when you want to visit later again :D

One day I will visit Sweden and experience for myself, but in the meantime I’ve got these absolutely adorable videos. Thank you for uploading. 😁
Thank you so much for checking out the videos :D Cheers, and let's hope you can get to Sweden and that you'll enjoy it in the future!
This is awesome. I will definitely visit Sweden. Thanks for the information. I love how you tease Denmark. Haha.
Hope it's going to be useful for when you visit 😀 And yeah, everyone loves teasing Denmark. Except possibly Danes, but even then I'm not sure...

Agree completely! And yeah I learned some new things myself about Allemansrätten while reading up on it for the video. Haha, both fun and educational.
It was very nice meeting you today in Vaxholm 😊
It was so nice to meet you :D Haha, I get surprised when someone recognizes me - thank you for saying hi!
Thank you for your information!!! The right to safe public access especially in country nature.....Its not for every European country exactly!!
I remember camping 30 years ago near Stockholm being mugged two times. Never came back since than.😢
That sucks so bad! I guess I was lucky this time :/
Totally right choice , don't want to be mugged trise.
Nice! In UK you can forage, however, if you are foraging on private land (which is most land in the UK) you have to gain permission from the landowner, or you are doing it on a public footpath. There might also be specific area bylaws. Have a great day too! Hope you didn't get mugged.

Unfortunately there are many countries where you're really limited in where you can do it
