    Never stop making these videos! You inspired me and my wife to try out wild camping with a campervan(usually we rent cabins). So, we rented one and made our way to Norway. It was our first time doing so, and maybe we should have tested it out before leaving Denmark. It was surprisingly demanding, but so worth it! The van we rented was maybe a little too big for the Norwegian gravel roads and mountain passes, but I'm definitely going to buy a smaller one and do it again. We were also surprised by how much space our dog took up in the van! Greetings from Denmark

    Nothing like berries on a walk. It’s like nature awarded you a bonus for getting outside. My dad always carried a gallon bag in his pocket when we walked.

    It seems that for a relatively sparsely populated country - or at least, the area of your country, roads and trails are exceptionally well tended.

    In the 1970s, a friend invited me to eat spaghetti with mushrooms he picked. When my teeth clicked together, sparks flew out of my mouth. That was some tasty spaghetti.

    Hi Simon, I think describing the northern lights as 'intriguing' is slightly under selling them! 😂 Another great instalment. Very relaxing and evocative combined with great company and 'cinematography' . (Was your other half a mountain goat in a previous life? Her standing on the ridge top gave me the heebie-jeebies just watching!)

When the drone moved in different angle shootings, it made me feel I was there. This filming is so spectacular, by far! I just wanted to mention to you because I paid attention to details. Great job editing this video.

    • @SimonBraeck
      @SimonBraeck  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you😊 Yes, and into September. Well, that sounds like a tall order. That could be a bit late for the northern lights but you’ll run clear of insects. Some parts of Norway will still be covered in snow in those months, especially in high elevations.

    • @thelittleredbus
      @thelittleredbus 10 месяцев назад

      @@SimonBraeck we came before in April over Easter and it was a bit grey and very cold. So we thought a little later would be good, but seeing the Northern lights from a remote and wild location would be epic. Maybe we need to come sooner?

    A techy question - how do you know what speed you are doing in the van when the speedometer is wobbling like yours?
