@Bjorn I think you forgot to explain that you can't permanently camp on private property. Only camp for 24 hours then you need to move to a new spot. I assume you have that same rule in Norway as in Sweden right?
In 2013 me and a friend flew from the UK to Haugesund for £35 and travelled 500km around Norway for £20. Hitch hiking, walking, wild camping, dumpster diving and generally just exploring nature (inc the fjords!) It was life changing! I want to come do it again soon! The people were stopping for us asking if we needed lifts.. Was unreal! We did not consider 'laws'.... For what are laws???!! We just did it. We were respectful, considerate and open to anything. Norway is stunning!
I am a single woman who back-packed in Europe for 4 months in 1974. I spent 1 full month in Norway. It is the most gorgeous, majestic and breathtaking scenery to be found anywhere, and I have seen half of the U.S. and 9 other countries besides.
When you visit Nordic countries, you must leave the fashion show for another day and concentrate on the most beautiful view of nature and its landscapes.
Check out the interview Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen did with me: ruclips.net/video/CREVZ5k3Ocg/видео.html It was so fun doing this together, I have learned so much about Norway from him.
We were at the Viking ship museum in Oslo only a few weeks ago and I can confirm what Bjorn said, it is truly amazing and an awe inspiring experience. Greetings from Australia :)
If you are in Norway I would recommend and take a trip in Vestfold. There you can experience the Viking Age In Borre Midgardfestival, Chief piles, and midgard with museum. Then on to Tønsberg, Norway's oldest city where you can see the Oseberghaugen. At Brygga you can see how they build Viking ships and see replica of the Oseberg ship. Sandefjord has Gokstad Haugen and Larvik Har Kaupang and Mølen. So vestfold Has a lot of Viking History. And then you have to visit the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.
I always wonder what the country life is like in other countries. People come to America all the time and think New York and Los Angles are what Americans are like. You miss what I would call the "ordinary working people's" lives. And our vast wilderness.
While in Europe a couple of years ago, and conversing with Europeans who have visited America, they are always awed with just how big, and varied, America is. Kinda makes ya' proud. :-)
He says "Go to the Mountains" Ahh how I wish I could. My Ancestors all called the Mountains of Norway their home. Still have family living there today. So many awesome memories shared from Family about life there for them. I am in Wisconsin, born and raised here, and generations of us buried here as well. I am an outdoors person always have been. Nothing better. Ty for this interview, I follow Bjorn here on YT. My family name is Ellefson. My Great Grandpa traveled the country here when he first came, as a young Man(late 20's ) he wanted to see and experience much of America and particularly the South West, he settled in Wi as many have. He was canoeing on one of his forays, and a few Native Americans took chase on him. He always said it was his training he learned as a Norwegian Sailor that saved his life that day! lol So many things I could share. His Mother, always boiled their laundry in a boiler, and one day the kids were playing a bit rough, and the cold boiler, sitting on the edge of the area, well it got knocked over, and fell down the side of the Mountain they lived on. The kids at that time, said they listened and listened waiting to hear it make a noise as it fell, and it took what seemed forever before they did. My Aunt today, said, can you imagine raising your Children on a Mountain? I laughed, in Norway when Summer comes many there leave the cities and go to the Mountains for the Summer. I would too if it were me.
Hello Mr. Bjorn, I'm so happy that you and Tammy of Spirit Forest are networking it's because of Tammy I now have your RUclips channel and plan to start following you, be safe and thank you.
Hi ! New to your channel,I love this idea of video chat,it works well,I found your channel through Bjorns channel.. I have had my DNA done and though there is no Scandinavian DNA in my ancestry,I am from Scotland originally and my culture was heavily influenced by the Viking culture and that is good enough for me Slainte!

So great to experience both you and Björn 😊 Allemandsretten, All Mans Right is effective in Norway and Sweden and Finland. Unfortunately not in Denmark (to much German influence and to little Vikingblood left).
Awesome that one can camp anywhere in Norway. In the UK it’s not as easy to practice bushcraft, we walk a very fine line, with restricted land, wild camping and knife laws it makes it challenging. Myself along with a lot of bushcrafters in the uk normally get permission from land owners or head to places like Scotland where the laws are more relaxing. Great video thanks

A great interview! I came across Bjorns channel only a month ago and through home found yours. I've watch many of his videos and now I will watch many of yours. I live in the woods in South East Pennsylvania and am so happy to pull down my 500 lane even after I go into the small town near by. But though I have a paper saying it is mine, I am only the steward of this land, to see that it stays as it is. It is hilly here and mountainous to the north but not like Colorado, which I've visited a few times. Those are mountains. Of course our mountains here in Pa. we're huge millions of years ago. Being in the woods is like being with family, because it is family. And indeed, technology is destroying some people's interest in most everything, they don't get out in Mother Earth. I am very fortunate to live in the woods and work at home as well. Being in the Natural Earth is a driving force, at least for people like us. I also discovered last year that I have Viking heritage. And isn't it funny how since childhood you find yourself being drawn to these places and things we had little idea about? Is it genetic memory, past lives? After finding these things out it all made sense, this attraction to places and historical research and yearning to find out. Thank You Kindly and keep on keepin on!

The Norwegian Right to Roam, popularly called "Allemannsretten" (transl., literally: "all men's/people's right") in Norway, signals only SOME of the essence of a balanced, two-sided, "do to get" arrangement. Formally, it is refined and declared by law in Lov om friluftslivet av 1957 (the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957), which gives the full picture. Explanation follows. Two-side concept: one side of The Norwegian Right to Roam is your legal RIGHTS, the other side is the legal OBLIGATIONS you must fulfill to get the right to wander and/or overnight, fish, paddle, ski, etc, in Norwegian nature. NOTE: without fulfilling your obligations, you will not be given the right to roam, either - this is the most basic principle of the law. Unfortunately, many “guess/think they know”, but not everyone grasp (or haven't made a real effort to learn about) the full, two-sided arrangement… Sounds difficult? On the contrary, it isn’t hard at all to fulfill your obligations, just proactively seek information first (read the law, or have some competent person explain it to you), respect the law with ALL definitions, leave no trace, and generally use some common sense and consideration when you roam out there. Easy and well balanced! Of course, many countries have similar rights to roam (e.g. Iceland, Sweden, Finland, UK, Switzerland, and a range other countries around the world), but with their own set of definitions and rules. While this (the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957) is how we do it in Norway. Here’s a hint or two, to get you quickly on your merry way: • The official "Norwegian right to roam the countryside" brochure - yes, THE official brochure/pamphlet, published by the Norwegian Environment Agency. It introduces you to your rights and obligations to roam in Norway, and is a concise and good start for tourists and foreigners (English version, updated in 2020): www.miljodirektoratet.no/publikasjoner/2020/juni-2020/the-norwegian-right-to-roam-the-countryside/ • Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957 - The full, official law text is found at Lovdata, the Norwegian law database/publication. Here is the official introduction, and most importantly, with further link to the official law text (Norwegian version only, but try to run it through a translator, e.g. Google Translate): lovdata.no/artikkel/allemannsretten__rett_til_fri_ferdsel_og_opphold/2205 Good luck, remember the two-sided balance, and enjoy our wilderness!
the island of Bygdow( spelling not correct) where the museum is , is soul stirring , which is still a lack of words. just to stare at the stem of the Oseberg ship will mezmerize you to seeing in your minds eye the man carving the detail in it! John Wrolsen
Two of my favorite Vikings in one vid! Woot! Now you Just need to get with Cimbrer bush craft and we have a hattrick of grestness! Thanks for sharing! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida👍🌲😎🌲!
Bjorn is a tough and independently minded person. He can camp anywhere. Tourists should stay close to the coast as Bjorn advises. We can't say too much about why, but if you are curious, I can recommend the documentary film "Troll Hunter".
Tammy great video with Bjorn n also beautiful country it really amazes me that in Norway you camp anywhere unlike the USA.. See you on the next one stay safe lady.
Well im from the countryside of Norway. I grew up in a mountain valley in Telemark. Its not possible to just pull over and camp wherever you like. NO. The owner if he sees you can chose to tell you to go elsewhere, or say ok. On the other hand, if you are far from people, in a forest or in the mountains, it is as Bjørn says. Just so you know. Sometimes its better to ask. 😉
Sounds great! Even though I'm from Central Europe, I have been living and working for 2 years in Norway. An outdoorsy girl as you are will definitly love Norge ;-) Norwegians are quite straighforward, correct, friendly und common sense is program there. There will be some other things as well you might be shocked, so take care! LG Franz, bugikraxn
Greetings from Tennessee! I just found out about you and Bjorn. Very into what you two do with your time. I'm subbed to a bunch of outdoors/bushcrafting channels. Glad to have some more interesting channels to add to my sub list. I'm also interested in the Vikings, but not just limited to them. I'm someone who likes to read history, kinda stemmed from military history though. Then worked my way into daily life of the common people. Or mythology. All of it is interesting. I wish I could find more about my own heritage. I only know so much. My father thinks we are Welsh on his side, but I was thinking we were French. And before that, who the hell knows? My ancestors could have been Gauls at one point or part of some Celtic heritage. And I love learning about old Gallic culture.
Thank you for this video I just found you because of Bjorn and I am happy to see someone else is interested in the Vikings age in the states besides me
I just now fount this video , Super cool , My ancestors came from Normandy , Sweden , and Ireland England , And Scotland . ROLLO , Or Robert the first Duke of Normandy was my 33 rd. Great Grandfather . I share many of the same ancestors as the English Royal family does , Not that they would ever admit it . LOL , Anyway its so cool to find your channel .
I came here from Bjorn channel and I love you guys, I was looking for listen to some English conversation since I'm an English learner and I love the way you both speak. I also love the contents of your channels. Saludos desde España

Be sure to see the FRAM museum and Kon Tiki museums as well, they are out near the Viking Ship museum as well. Be sure to have at least a full day just for this. Also there is nearby a Folks museum which has many authentic Viking buildings from all of Norway which you can walk through.
A better understanding of European age old laws governing the right to travel. All persons can freely travel unrestricted almost anywhere unless specifically prohibited. Property owners shall furnish a place for overnight lodging to travelers if possible (this part is no longer enforced). If not Travelers may bed down ( camp) if there is no lodging available. You must respect the property owner requests and do not deface or disturb the land. These laws are centuries old.but still in existance. The right to travel law is often used by backpackers, hikers and sightseeing tourists. Use of open or park lands are the same as US state and national parks. Free use, obey seasonal rules, respect the land, no open fires hunting or fishing without proper permits or licensing.
Requires a high-trust society though, or at least one with honor as a basis. Hard to find these days, and likely to be fewer of them in the future as bad actors realise they can take advantage of it.
@@MiaogisTeas Not sure what you mean they can take advantage of.. Logging would be noticed immediatly and stopped. You can pick berries and mushrooms for your household freely, and use fallen branches and such for a fire if its ok to make a fire. Hunting is regulated, and while you might be able to hunt down 1 animal for yourself and not be noticed, hunting for monetary gain would be very hard to manage. Fishinglicenses for anything but salmon, does not cost too much, but again, it is fishing for household use.
Tammy it was a joy to watch this, it is nice to see how things are done in other countries. I will be going to Bjorn's channel when I finish this comment. I hope your Easter weekend meets all of your expectations, and fills you with much joy
Bjørn understandably can't play favourites when it comes to Viking Festivals. If you're in Norway for a limited time period, then I would suggest the Midgard Viking Festival at Borre in Horten, in Vestfold county (on the western side of the Oslo fjord), as for example after seeing the Viking ships in Oslo, you could head south-west to the Viking Festival. There are also iron-age and Viking-age grave mounds and a museum at Borre, as well as a reconstruction of a mead hall. Further south you have Tønsberg, where you can find the Oseberg mound, where the Oseberg ship was found, as well as a reconstruction of the Oseberg ship (called Saga Oseberg) that you CAN touch. They also have a reconstruction of the Klåstad ship (called Saga Farmann), which was a viking-age trading vessel. Further South-West from there you have Sandefjord, where you can find the Gokstad mound, where the Gokstad ship was found, as well as a replica of the Gokstad ship (called GAIA). The Vestfold viking ship replicas should still be there in early July at the time of the Midgard Viking Festival, but we will be going 'raiding' (i.e. going on a sailing trip) in Telemark from mid-July. Further South-West from Sandefjord you have Istrehågan, with stone circles and stone ships (like in Østfold), as well as viking-age burial mounds in a beech forest by the lake just beside Larvik town centre. Also further South-West from there one has Mølen, which is a terminal moraine and is also the site of many iron-age and viking-age burial cairns, and a bird sanctuary. In the South-East, in the counties of Vestfold and Østfold, you basically can't go 2 feet without tripping over something from the Bronze-Age, Iron-Age or Viking-Age. Also plenty of forest to camp in, if you can keep the mosquitos at bay. The mountains are better for camping though, as once you get above the treeline, you're usually rid of the mosquitos... as well as having a nice view. It depends when you are planning to visit though of course, but there are festivals sprinkled throughout the summer in various parts of Norway. e.g. in Lofoten (up North) they have one in August (they also have a replica Viking Ship, and have reconstructed the longhouse that was located at Borg in Lofoten).
Yes i'm from Norway and i can confirm that here we have this law called something like "everymans right" , which allows you to camp everywhere except peoples immidate garden and farm land , apart from that you can camp everywhere for a maximum of two days , its probably not allowed to camp in bird reservoirs and so on ... From whait i've read most of the Viking raids went out from the Oslo fjord , today thats the most urbanised area in Norway , when you think Vikings you might vision tall fjords and mountains and so on , but the area around the Oslo fjord is the flatest area in Norway
So happy for this video, I can see some as well as a viking sister. love your videos Tammy you are so high spirited and love your energy. If you ever go would love to see it and your travels. lot of editing Im sure. lol we are working on our back yard right now getting it paved before we go to Alaska. So that's what Im working on now editing the videos loving this video, he looks like a true viking for sure lol .ok take care and safe travels girl happy Easter
Be yorn. Name means bear. Ocean temperatures in Norway, at least south half is very nice. Love May 17th festivals. Love middle June herding sheep to mountains, but hard to hit.
Just subbed to his channel, will have to check it out! I also found viking heritage in my ancestry search, turns out my dna says I'm 75% Scandinavian! I would love to visit norway and sweden someday.
I just met you on Bjorns channel. I am a Canadian viking from north of you in central BC. The "J" is pronounced as a "Y" or "E". Fun post with a sub and bell attached.
This is awesome Tammy !! Just my tiny bit of knowledge on Norwegian language. J is pronounced as a Y. Beyorn. V is pronounced as a W. Wiking ! Lol ! Lessons from my Poppa ! Anyway.... this is great! Headed to sub to Bjorn ! As a sister Norwegian I am so interested in what you are talking about !! Skol !!
@@KrissiCreates No problem, you do not have the letter ø, so it is not easy to write Norwegian without😁 - Btw, It was not meant to correct you🙏 Just wanted to send you a Viking/Norwegian salute/cheers🍻 for your willingness to engage in Norwegian language👌 - And my english sucks big time🤪
@@MrInsaint I am happy you showed me the correct way to spell this word ! I'm trying to learn a few words to converse with my Poppa and 3 uncles. My Grandparents came to US from Norway. I was adopted and 2 years ago through DNA found my heritage and my amazing biological family!! Anyway, your English not so bad !! Would love to hear and learn more !!
I've wanted to comment and mention a few books that I absolutely fell in love with and I know know you would too. You 100% for sure must check out "In the Days of Giants" by Abby Farwell Brown and "Viking Tales" by Jenny Hall. I have read these many times and will continue to do so many more! I hope you do enjoy them as I have and wouldnt be surprised if you've already read them! I too feel a very strong connection to The Old Norse.. who held the old gods close in life.
In the city center of Oslo there used to be (I imagine its still the same) an old stave church surrounded by old Scandinavian style houses you can look around which is quite interesting. People working there wear period type clothing. If you get to Sweden there are ancient pagan rock formations which are very special like Anundshög outside Västerås and Ales Stenar outside of Ystad. In Copenhagen there is another Viking ship museum which is also nice.
The Danish ship museum is in Roskilde. That city also has an impressive Medieval cathedral,burial site of Danish royalty. Denmark is small, but it is more than just Copenhagen!
Go....You won't regret it. Norway is beautiful. Lots to see. In mid may the waterfalls are still roaring from all the snow melt and lots of ice cold glacial streams to cross. Herds of little goats and lots of bright dandelions around the farm houses and cabins. See the Seven Sisters waterfalls from a fjord. Those fjords suddenly get bigger when you are out there in just a little row boat! Sweden also has "Allemansratten" or Everyman's Right so you can walk, ski, or paddle a canoe lots of places as long as the area is not fenced in or too close to a private home. Stockholm runs a camp for kids during the summer out on one of the islands. There are places with runic writing on stones and graves marked with stones that outline a ship. Would be fun to visit with the Sami people in the north. It's fun to think about. I better get a new passport. LOL
New to your channel coming from Bjørn’s channel! You should check out Fjellborg Vikings in Denver if you’re interested in viking things! Pro tip though for the future the j in norse is a y sound 😊 looking forward to explore your channel. Skol!
In America you can’t just pitch a tent on Farmer Fred’s land. If someone gets injured on private land in America even from their own stupidity they are sure to sue the landowners. Sad.
The reason you can camp on anyone's land there is because the issues of a high-quality, small country like Norway which is/ was nearly homogeneous - aren't huge - when you have strangers on your land. If Norway remains cautious about their migrant policies - I'd imagine that will continue to be.

The Norwegian Right to Roam, popularly called "Allemannsretten" (transl., literally: "all men's/people's right") in Norway, signals only SOME of the essence of a balanced, two-sided, "do to get" arrangement. Formally, it is refined and declared by law in Lov om friluftslivet av 1957 (the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957), which gives the full picture. Explanation follows.
Two-side concept: one side of The Norwegian Right to Roam is your legal RIGHTS, the other side is the legal OBLIGATIONS you must fulfill to get the right to wander and/or overnight, fish, paddle, ski, etc, in Norwegian nature. NOTE: without fulfilling your obligations, you will not be given the right to roam, either - this is the most basic principle of the law. Unfortunately, many “guess/think they know”, but not everyone grasp (or haven't made a real effort to learn about) the full, two-sided arrangement… Sounds difficult? On the contrary, it isn’t hard at all to fulfill your obligations, just proactively seek information first (read the law, or have some competent person explain it to you), respect the law with ALL definitions, leave no trace, and generally use some common sense and consideration when you roam out there. Easy and well balanced!
Of course, many countries have similar rights to roam (e.g. Iceland, Sweden, Finland, UK, Switzerland, and a range other countries around the world), but with their own set of definitions and rules. While this (the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957) is how we do it in Norway.
Here’s a hint or two, to get you quickly on your merry way:
• The official "Norwegian right to roam the countryside" brochure - yes, THE official brochure/pamphlet, published by the Norwegian Environment Agency. It introduces you to your rights and obligations to roam in Norway, and is a concise and good start for tourists and foreigners (English version, updated in 2020): www.miljodirektoratet.no/publikasjoner/2020/juni-2020/the-norwegian-right-to-roam-the-countryside/
• Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957 - The full, official law text is found at Lovdata, the Norwegian law database/publication. Here is the official introduction, and most importantly, with further link to the official law text (Norwegian version only, but try to run it through a translator, e.g. Google Translate): lovdata.no/artikkel/allemannsretten__rett_til_fri_ferdsel_og_opphold/2205
Good luck, remember the two-sided balance, and enjoy our wilderness!
Good intervju Tammy.
Hope to see you coming to Norway soon. :)
Best regards
Hans Olav
My 2 favorite people on the same broadcast . don't know who I'm jealous of more Tammy or Bjorn cheers to both of you.
Great interview. Brightened my day here at work.
Byorn would be my way of explaining the pronunciation of Bjorn. Good interview.
Love watching your channel. My Husband is from Norway 🇳🇴 he came over to visit me in 2000 and we got married while he was here visiting.
that is great!!
I really liked this video. It would be great if you could get to Norway and share that journey with us.
the island of Bygdow( spelling not correct) where the museum is , is soul stirring , which is still a lack of words. just to stare at the stem of the Oseberg ship will mezmerize you to seeing in your minds eye the man carving the detail in it! John Wrolsen
Two of my favorite Vikings in one vid! Woot! Now you Just need to get with Cimbrer bush craft and we have a hattrick of grestness! Thanks for sharing! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida👍🌲😎🌲!
I gave subscribed to his channel too.. :)
Bjorn is a tough and independently minded person. He can camp anywhere. Tourists should stay close to the coast as Bjorn advises. We can't say too much about why, but if you are curious, I can recommend the documentary film "Troll Hunter".
Tammy great video with Bjorn n also beautiful country it really amazes me that in Norway you camp anywhere unlike the USA.. See you on the next one stay safe lady.
Been watching him for some time, great wealth of knoledge
Time well spent , I had Fun ,
Excellent guest Bjorn thanks for your share
Loved the interview! Thanks for doing it!
Well im from the countryside of Norway. I grew up in a mountain valley in Telemark. Its not possible to just pull over and camp wherever you like. NO. The owner if he sees you can chose to tell you to go elsewhere, or say ok. On the other hand, if you are far from people, in a forest or in the mountains, it is as Bjørn says. Just so you know. Sometimes its better to ask. 😉
Nice! I would love to visit Bjorn myself!
Sounds great! Even though I'm from Central Europe, I have been living and working for 2 years in Norway. An outdoorsy girl as you are will definitly love Norge ;-) Norwegians are quite straighforward, correct, friendly und common sense is program there. There will be some other things as well you might be shocked, so take care!

Greetings from Tennessee! I just found out about you and Bjorn. Very into what you two do with your time. I'm subbed to a bunch of outdoors/bushcrafting channels. Glad to have some more interesting channels to add to my sub list. I'm also interested in the Vikings, but not just limited to them. I'm someone who likes to read history, kinda stemmed from military history though. Then worked my way into daily life of the common people. Or mythology. All of it is interesting. I wish I could find more about my own heritage. I only know so much. My father thinks we are Welsh on his side, but I was thinking we were French. And before that, who the hell knows? My ancestors could have been Gauls at one point or part of some Celtic heritage. And I love learning about old Gallic culture.
Bjorn sent me, LOL! great channel as well as interview, keep up the good work, Skal
That was awesome Tammy thank you
thanks to you all.
Thank you for this video I just found you because of Bjorn and I am happy to see someone else is interested in the Vikings age in the states besides me
Tammy, thanks for sharing. Those are some interesting rules , about private property camping .
I just now fount this video , Super cool , My ancestors came from Normandy , Sweden , and Ireland England , And Scotland . ROLLO , Or Robert the first Duke of Normandy was my 33 rd. Great Grandfather . I share many of the same ancestors as the English Royal family does , Not that they would ever admit it . LOL , Anyway its so cool to find your channel .
Very cool! I'm now going to watch Bjorn's interview of you. He might get a new subscriber! Thanks!
I love your curiosity about your heritage! Great interview!
Been subscribed to his channel for some time got to say I enjoy him
Viking festival in Lofoten, it's in August, also have a longhouse and museum. Also Viking museum in Oslo.
Nicely done.
That was very cool, and informative!!! I watch him too!!!
I enjoy Bjorn's channel as well. This was a cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
I came here from Bjorn channel and I love you guys, I was looking for listen to some English conversation since I'm an English learner and I love the way you both speak. I also love the contents of your channels.
Saludos desde España
Welcome!
Greetings Tammy checking in from Bjorn 's channel.
Awesome.. welcome!
Fantastic. Have a super wonderful day.
Huge fan myself! I will subscribe to you because of this video!
Your 'Beaming' Miss T Spirit!🌈 Truly an Awesome Gentelman!' and Such Obvious Great Vibes Between You Two'🔄 Better Bring Back Some Cool Gifts For Your Fam' an' Treats For Rocks! Lol, This Is Really Special! Blessings Now an' Always To You and Your Crew!⛺🌲⛅
Be sure to see the FRAM museum and Kon Tiki museums as well, they are out near the Viking Ship museum as well. Be sure to have at least a full day just for this. Also there is nearby a Folks museum which has many authentic Viking buildings from all of Norway which you can walk through.
A better understanding of European age old laws governing the right to travel. All persons can freely travel unrestricted almost anywhere unless specifically prohibited. Property owners shall furnish a place for overnight lodging to travelers if possible (this part is no longer enforced). If not Travelers may bed down ( camp) if there is no lodging available. You must respect the property owner requests and do not deface or disturb the land. These laws are centuries old.but still in existance. The right to travel law is often used by backpackers, hikers and sightseeing tourists. Use of open or park lands are the same as US state and national parks. Free use, obey seasonal rules, respect the land, no open fires hunting or fishing without proper permits or licensing.
Requires a high-trust society though, or at least one with honor as a basis. Hard to find these days, and likely to be fewer of them in the future as bad actors realise they can take advantage of it.
@@MiaogisTeas Not sure what you mean they can take advantage of.. Logging would be noticed immediatly and stopped. You can pick berries and mushrooms for your household freely, and use fallen branches and such for a fire if its ok to make a fire. Hunting is regulated, and while you might be able to hunt down 1 animal for yourself and not be noticed, hunting for monetary gain would be very hard to manage. Fishinglicenses for anything but salmon, does not cost too much, but again, it is fishing for household use.
Tammy it was a joy to watch this, it is nice to see how things are done in other countries. I will be going to Bjorn's channel when I finish this comment. I hope your Easter weekend meets all of your expectations, and fills you with much joy
Love it.....🙏💞🙏💞🙏
Bjørn understandably can't play favourites when it comes to Viking Festivals. If you're in Norway for a limited time period, then I would suggest the Midgard Viking Festival at Borre in Horten, in Vestfold county (on the western side of the Oslo fjord), as for example after seeing the Viking ships in Oslo, you could head south-west to the Viking Festival. There are also iron-age and Viking-age grave mounds and a museum at Borre, as well as a reconstruction of a mead hall. Further south you have Tønsberg, where you can find the Oseberg mound, where the Oseberg ship was found, as well as a reconstruction of the Oseberg ship (called Saga Oseberg) that you CAN touch. They also have a reconstruction of the Klåstad ship (called Saga Farmann), which was a viking-age trading vessel. Further South-West from there you have Sandefjord, where you can find the Gokstad mound, where the Gokstad ship was found, as well as a replica of the Gokstad ship (called GAIA). The Vestfold viking ship replicas should still be there in early July at the time of the Midgard Viking Festival, but we will be going 'raiding' (i.e. going on a sailing trip) in Telemark from mid-July. Further South-West from Sandefjord you have Istrehågan, with stone circles and stone ships (like in Østfold), as well as viking-age burial mounds in a beech forest by the lake just beside Larvik town centre. Also further South-West from there one has Mølen, which is a terminal moraine and is also the site of many iron-age and viking-age burial cairns, and a bird sanctuary.
In the South-East, in the counties of Vestfold and Østfold, you basically can't go 2 feet without tripping over something from the Bronze-Age, Iron-Age or Viking-Age. Also plenty of forest to camp in, if you can keep the mosquitos at bay. The mountains are better for camping though, as once you get above the treeline, you're usually rid of the mosquitos... as well as having a nice view.
It depends when you are planning to visit though of course, but there are festivals sprinkled throughout the summer in various parts of Norway. e.g. in Lofoten (up North) they have one in August (they also have a replica Viking Ship, and have reconstructed the longhouse that was located at Borg in Lofoten).
All of Vestfold, but yes, Borre is a good place to start. Tjøme, Kaupang, then move on up to Gokstad and other places as well.
Most enjoyable video with you both yes I sub. to his a wee bit back when you mentioned him b4 Thanks... Happy spirited Easter
Some backpacking/camping in the motherland of Norge would be cool!
Very interesting. See spot, make camp.
Yes i'm from Norway and i can confirm that here we have this law called something like "everymans right" , which allows you to camp everywhere except peoples immidate garden and farm land , apart from that you can camp everywhere for a maximum of two days , its probably not allowed to camp in bird reservoirs and so on ...
From whait i've read most of the Viking raids went out from the Oslo fjord , today thats the most urbanised area in Norway , when you think Vikings you might vision tall fjords and mountains and so on , but the area around the Oslo fjord is the flatest area in Norway
Norway would be a dream trip.
Nice one Tammy. If you fly to Norway and go over the UK don't forget to throw some cookies out, ha ha. Arthur (UK)
So happy for this video, I can see some as well as a viking sister. love your videos Tammy you are so high spirited and love your energy. If you ever go would love to see it and your travels. lot of editing Im sure. lol we are working on our back yard right now getting it paved before we go to Alaska. So that's what Im working on now editing the videos loving this video, he looks like a true viking for sure lol .ok take care and safe travels girl happy Easter
Thank you.. always look forward to your comments.
Brilliant, what a nice bloke he is and an even stunning hat
Be yorn. Name means bear. Ocean temperatures in Norway, at least south half is very nice. Love May 17th festivals. Love middle June herding sheep to mountains, but hard to hit.
Just subbed to his channel, will have to check it out! I also found viking heritage in my ancestry search, turns out my dna says I'm 75% Scandinavian! I would love to visit norway and sweden someday.
awesome.. !!
Bjorn Andreas is famous for young men hook up on the trails. A REAL MAN'S MAN
Lol, I hadn't seen this till just now. I guess Bjorn is how I found your channel.
I just met you on Bjorns channel. I am a Canadian viking from north of you in central BC. The "J" is pronounced as a "Y" or "E". Fun post with a sub and bell attached.
Hello and welcome.. thanks for the help.
This is a great video!
Great video and what a nice man.
I've been to Tromso Norway in the USMC
Hei Spirit Foest, welkommen til Norge
I’ve been to Norway camping many times
Many young people today need to practice respect. If I ever disrespected my elders or our ancestors, my father would tan my hide.
Going over to check out bull Hansen now👍
This is awesome Tammy !! Just my tiny bit of knowledge on Norwegian language. J is pronounced as a Y. Beyorn. V is pronounced as a W. Wiking ! Lol ! Lessons from my Poppa !
Anyway.... this is great! Headed to sub to Bjorn ! As a sister Norwegian I am so interested in what you are talking about !! Skol !!
Skål!!🍺🍺 🤣
@@MrInsaint thank you for correct spelling !!! In US we get it wrong ! Lol !!
@@KrissiCreates No problem, you do not have the letter ø, so it is not easy to write Norwegian without😁
- Btw, It was not meant to correct you🙏 Just wanted to send you a Viking/Norwegian salute/cheers🍻 for your willingness to engage in Norwegian language👌
- And my english sucks big time🤪
@@MrInsaint I am happy you showed me the correct way to spell this word ! I'm trying to learn a few words to converse with my Poppa and 3 uncles. My Grandparents came to US from Norway. I was adopted and 2 years ago through DNA found my heritage and my amazing biological family!! Anyway, your English not so bad !! Would love to hear and learn more !!
P.S. Skål !! Lol ! Oh and I say Uff da often!
I've wanted to comment and mention a few books that I absolutely fell in love with and I know know you would too. You 100% for sure must check out "In the Days of Giants" by Abby Farwell Brown and "Viking Tales" by Jenny Hall. I have read these many times and will continue to do so many more! I hope you do enjoy them as I have and wouldnt be surprised if you've already read them! I too feel a very strong connection to The Old Norse.. who held the old gods close in life.
I will have to check those out!!
In the city center of Oslo there used to be (I imagine its still the same) an old stave church surrounded by old Scandinavian style houses you can look around which is quite interesting. People working there wear period type clothing. If you get to Sweden there are ancient pagan rock formations which are very special like Anundshög outside Västerås and Ales Stenar outside of Ystad. In Copenhagen there is another Viking ship museum which is also nice.
Thank you!!! Good to know.
The Danish ship museum is in Roskilde. That city also has an impressive Medieval cathedral,burial site of Danish royalty. Denmark is small, but it is more than just Copenhagen!
Go....You won't regret it. Norway is beautiful. Lots to see. In mid may the waterfalls are still roaring from all the snow melt and lots of ice cold glacial streams to cross. Herds of little goats and lots of bright dandelions around the farm houses and cabins. See the Seven Sisters waterfalls from a fjord. Those fjords suddenly get bigger when you are out there in just a little row boat! Sweden also has "Allemansratten" or Everyman's Right so you can walk, ski, or paddle a canoe lots of places as long as the area is not fenced in or too close to a private home. Stockholm runs a camp for kids during the summer out on one of the islands. There are places with runic writing on stones and graves marked with stones that outline a ship. Would be fun to visit with the Sami people in the north. It's fun to think about. I better get a new passport. LOL
will be a fun adventure for sure.
Great video love it 😊
New to your channel coming from Bjørn’s channel! You should check out Fjellborg Vikings in Denver if you’re interested in viking things! Pro tip though for the future the j in norse is a y sound 😊 looking forward to explore your channel. Skol!
Thanks for coming over!! :) Thanks also for the tip.
In America you can’t just pitch a tent on Farmer Fred’s land. If someone gets injured on private land in America even from their own stupidity they are sure to sue the landowners. Sad.
The reason you can camp on anyone's land there is because the issues of a high-quality, small country like Norway which is/ was nearly homogeneous - aren't huge - when you have strangers on your land. If Norway remains cautious about their migrant policies - I'd imagine that will continue to be.
what a great video!
Glad you liked it!
