Wow!! Yeah I would love to come to England and you show us the best of your places! But perhaps I'm too old for your gang at 57 but I'm young at heart 😉🥰🤣
Kalle Flodin is a guy who opted out of the rat race, bought himself a cabin in the woods without electricity or running water, and are now documenting his life in said cabin on youtube. It's a really cool channel. Greetings from Stockholm.
Last I checked uploading to youtube needs both electricity and an internet connection but yeah watching him living with nature is an inspiration. Greetings from the heart of Hälsingland.
You are jumping to conclusions. He bought a hose with no running water or electricity (already installed) but off course things can change and I am sure he now has access to it through whatever installation he chose, right?@@jayamilapersson4030
Yeah, it's only "northern Sweden" for people from the big cities in the south. To the rest of us, Sollefteå is pretty much smack dab in the middle. I lived in Kiruna a few years, and Sollefteå is almost exactly the middle point between Kiruna and Malmö.
Wow! This was nice to see. From my hometown Sollefteå where I live. "Multråberget" (The mountain of "Multro" (A kind of berry typical of Sweden)) is clearly visible from the town of Sollefteå. Everyone who lives here has it as an excursion destination, from the time they go to primary school and also as a family excursion. The house you saw is actually more of a shelter where you can sit if it rains. Otherwise, it was a workout in Sollefteå, where there are several places to choose from. I recognize the other places as well and they are also well-known excursion destinations. The festival is an annual event. In Näsåker approx.: 50 km from Sollefteå. An incredibly popular music festival where people from all over Sweden, but also outside Sweden travel to, many have it as a regular event in their lives every year. "The night of fire", which is the opening of the festival Those who have been part of it will never forget it. - Go there! :)
Hello, Dwayne! You're absolutely right! To meet new people from all over the world is the best way to learn new things, to broaden one's horizons and to get rid of prejudices. Besides, nothing is as interesting as another human being, his or her life experiences and the emotional bonding, the uniqueness of each separate individual and yet the realization that we are all members of the same human family. Dwayne, you are such a great and positive guy with an equally great sense of humour. Thank you for brightening up my day! Btw, I'm a subscriber from Finland, one of those Swedish-speaking Finlanders, and you're the nicest and most positive British youtuber that I know. 🌹
Yes I have served in the Swedish military for 13 months. But since Sweden at the time only had a defense force we was not at the time involved in any conflicts, but I learned a lot in a very short time. I got educated in radio, medic, explosives, how to survive in the wild, navigation, and how to handle a weapons and much much more.
When you invite 50 different people who like what you do, I think everyone is happy to finally meet their *youtuber*. I don't think you care about the weather then. of course sun is a plus. As a follower, I would try to make my * youtuber* feel good that she/he chose the right person to meet. And then these places they visit, WOW! Who wouldn't feel good about them regardless of the weather? Sweden is very beautiful. Good reaction as usual =)
Quote :«When you invite 50 different people who like what you do, I think everyone is happy....» It would have been interesting to see 50 random people - who didn't have the same interests or were fan-boys do the trip. It would probably have been a very different video where we got to experience the other sides of human nature.
I would call Kalle a lifestyle influencer. Big city guy who was tired of the hamster wheel and moved to a cabin in the woods without running water. Good channel. He doesn't live far from Jonna Jinton, who I think you were reacting to?
The rock carvings have been filled in with paint so they're easier to spot. Similar carvings and other marks, like circles and round holes, can be found near rapids and other flat rock beds all over Scandinavia.
I spent my childhoods summer and winters in the northern part of Sweden, and I have seen the northern lights light up the whole sky in the winter and with the nature around you it is kind of magical you get a feeling this can not be real. And we have in Sarek national park one of the few wilderness in Europe that have not been touched by humans, and that place is magical but there are dangers in there and you must use tents to camp there so you need to be an experienced outdoor person to survive in Sarek. Yes I have seen Sarek and it was one of the best experiences I have had in my life. Sure it was hard walking for days but it was so worth it in the end.
I would really like a meetup! Im from the middle of Sweden, but alot of my childhood was in the very south of Skåne. My partner is from the very north of Sweden, and the differences are wild. love you man /Massagetheraphist from the Ugly Västerås. Urkult is avery nice music and cultural festival, including cultures from around th world. I went there many times in my teeens and tweenties!
Hi i lived in London 20 years ago for 1 year i was an aupair to a Swedish couple with 4 children , We lived close to Notting Hill , i cant remember everything but it was good!!!! I meet a man who looked just like You do ha ha … and then i could walk 😖
I must say i love this that The put diffust countrees together.And started to let them go right in to our deepest Woods.And starts with yoga.Becourse to be in The Woods its is an diffrent kind of yoga .small The trees .The carm to be one with The natur.
yes.. I was in the army. first we was ust fooling around in are truks in the woods.. then i februari we went north.. up to Boden and Jokkmokk. ther we sleept in tents in -30c and looket at the norden lights.. It was a time in my life. .. yes i live in Sweden.
I've never been to Urkult myself, but many of my friends have been there, even my dad went a few years ago lol. It's about a two... Two and a half hours drive from where i live. ^^
Well Dwayne. If you start your holiday in Oslo and travel eastbound you could stop by in Västerås for a few days snd live in a treehouse in citypark or stay a night in a submerged room in Lake Mälaren. Then just 100 km east to Stockholm. Then ferry to Helsingfors. I could be your guide here in Västerås
As I told you before .... Sweden are very different in different parts. We have very many and different landscapes and also different citys. Also the weather and the seasons is very different. Like in Skåne (the south of Sweden) theres is earlier summer longer autumns or late summers. And lesser winter thats usually more rain based. In Norrland (the North) its more snow longer winters etc. And also peoples mentality is very different and the Difference in Swedish accent and so on. And every one or thing is beutiful in its own way. Thats also why theres so much to experience in Sweden. Its very many different people and places. And we are very proud of our nature, heritage, citys and so on. And we love to share it with people who appreciate it and share our values or have respect for them. As we want to have with the different minded. Hope to see you in Sweden in the future. As you see you may have go several trips to visit more places :) I live in our beautiful capitol Stockholm. But as said all Sweden has its beuty. And Norrland (the North) is for me among the beutifullest.... / J
From my city where i live to Sollefteå it is 1 hour drive wich is not that bad at all. Awesome video and i agree you should visit the northern parts of Sweden definitley.
I belive that a big chunk of Kalles followers are outdoor/hiking (at least want to be) people!? One can travel to another country or inside ones own country without getting outside ones comfortzone, and miss all events thats taking place! We seldome have the time and knowledge to hit the right time and place! And one need to be a little adventurous.
Kalle Flodin, who invites 50 people, does not live as far north as people might think, but more in the middle of Sweden, in the town of Sollefteå. I live in the city of Kiruna which is 746 Km (463.54 miles), north of Skollefteå. So the nature they saw and were shown down in Sollefteå, is not at all the same nature that is up here in Kiruna. IN In Kiruna there is a real mountain environment with bare mountains, where nothing grows. And there is a big difference in the air between Sollefteå and Kiruna, as Kiruna has drier and healthier air.
As a Norrbottning I can confirm to anyone sometimes it does looks like in this thumbnailed video whom Dwaynes world reacted to. I live in one of the two current host cities of the european parliament.
Brief as can be..! Kalle Flodin - [fludiin]; lived and worked in Stockholm, felt something wasn't right (#UnhappyLife), bought a cabin and moved North to Sollefteå (about halfway to the Arctic Circle), makes videos on cabin renovations, life inspiration, aaand... cabin life! ¡Ciao!
Almost half of Sweden looks like this :) I visit the mountains every summer with my family. We are not al fit but at the same time is obesity not so common either. Our helfcare is actually very cheap btw :) I am at hospital alot and its almost always free (for me). Its because we have a law that helfcare is free in a year after you have paid an (quite low) amount of money for helfcare.
8:09 Well... Cannot say that everybody is going to the gym for a workout. But a lot of our fitness comes from taking long strolls or walks, and running in the many natural reserves dotting our landscapes. If that's not of your interest, we still like to go out in nature to just think about something else than work or our own life to appreciate what has always been, LONG before we even existed on this planet, and this goes a long way. Maybe it's just me who's thinking like that... But my point is that we always tend to take so many things for granted that we forget the much simpler and natural beauty that our planet has gifted to us. :) We must learn to think less about our own interest and start seeing beyond.
yeah if you ever get over here you should deffinetly visit the south, Stockholm and the north. we have really nice nature here and its really different depending on where you are in Sweden :) if you like seafood you should visit Smögen and eat some fresh seafood and Skagenröra, Gothenburg and Stockholm are 2 very good big citys to visit with lots of stuff to see and do. up north you have really great nature and in the winter you can go skiing, ride dogsled and snowscooters. if you get the chans you wont regret seing the northern lights :)
I have a really cool suggestion if you want to learn more about Swedish wilderness and the life in northern Sweden. You should watch to "Travelling to the northern wilderness - 1 week in Swedish Lapland". I am not trying to gain anything from this, I just thought it was a really cool video. I already commented about this on another video of yours and you did not respond, so I figured I wait until you drop a brand new video to increase my chances of you seeing this.😁 Edit: at first I thought about not leaving this comment, because you normally dont react to videos like that, but after watching this video, I realised you do!
Well, if we shall be able to fill you up with food, we'll have to meet you one day... 😂 After Norway/Denmark, Sweden and Finland we'll make you look like a giant Swedish meatball going home! 😂 Well, I live in Stockholm, and I am old enpugh to have served in the military as a conscript.
I served 11 mounts Swedish Airforce in 1990 a long time ago best friends you never got get same i have best friends but it is a new level because you are so close
"Who though to build a house there"? Sctuqlly a lot of thos ehouses in the middle of nowhere.Are remntant sof the people who slwrre sent out by the swedish kind to expand sweden and build railroads or do wood working.Thats why theyre spread out so eandomly.
Another boooring and depressing tale from Norrland... :D Never understood what people see in Sweden above Sundsvall (or even Gävle during winter). /An old Swede
Hi DWAYNE your so welkom to Sweden , i live in the soth near malmö near denmark your so welkome if you need to anywer to stay .You dont have to worry im a old layde .sorry for my spelling .
Thank you for reacting to my video dude! ❤
No problem, I loved the video. Keep up the good work 😊
Wow!! Yeah I would love to come to England and you show us the best of your places! But perhaps I'm too old for your gang at 57 but I'm young at heart 😉🥰🤣

I think you will have loads of people/followers that would love to meet you when you come to Sweden 😊
Sollefteå is actually just 45 km from my hometown. Not so much in the North of Sweden, more like half way up.

Urkult is the best festival ever. It's the only thing that's always is booked every summer

I grew up not far from Sollefteå and it is nice to watch this..
keep it up. Hälsningar från sverige!

I live in little under middle of Sweden and we have norden lights sometimes. Not often
There's an old nordic saying, there's no bad weather, only the wrong clothes...
The festival is Urkult in Näsåker just outside of Sollefteå
I love that this is north of sweden 😁. In my world here in Norrbotten its the south 😂
I've never been to Urkult myself, but many of my friends have been there, even my dad went a few years ago lol. It's about a two... Two and a half hours drive from where i live. ^^
It's common to fill carvings and runes with red paint to make them stand out. Otherwise, it would be hard to spot them.

Wayne you can start conecting by meeting people when you visit Scandinavia.
Aah i see a fjällräven backpack. Some of the best gear for being outdoors you can buy for money
From my city where i live to Sollefteå it is 1 hour drive wich is not that bad at all. Awesome video and i agree you should visit the northern parts of Sweden definitley.

They have made it abroad. I've seen more Americans wearing them lately, than Swedes.
Sollefteå is not as far north i Sweden that you think it is. It is about 250 km north of the geografic middle of Sweden.
As a Norrbottning I can confirm to anyone sometimes it does looks like in this thumbnailed video whom Dwaynes world reacted to.
