In the USA, the concept of Saft (in the Norwegian sense) is less well known. Americans would probably think of something more similar to fruit juice (juice) when they hear the word "juice". Their closest equivalent to Norwegian juice might be something like "fruit punch concentrate," which is also a syrup mixed with water. However, the American "concentrate" is usually already sweetened and sometimes has other flavors or preservatives added. In Norway, we understand "Saft" as a concentrated "syrup" that is mixed with water to make a sweet drink. This type of juice often comes in flavors such as raspberry, blackcurrant and orange, and is a popular way to offer a refreshing drink, especially to children.

The whirlpool is Saltstraumen, near Bødo. It is caused by massive amounts of water trying to make it through a very narrow passage between two bodies of water with the ebb and tide. The water moves as fast as 20mph with whirls 30 feet wide and 10 feet deep. If you swim, you may very well die. The water flow can be as heavy as 33.000 cubic meters (9 million US gallons) pr second.

12:47 These are tame reindeer, they're friendly. There's also wild reindeer, and they are *VERY* rare (at least in the southern half) and you can find them as far south as Telemark if you are lucky. They are very shy and will remove themselves from any human noise and presence. If you are lucky you can go on a long trip and happen to see them, even get a majestic moment. This one looks like it is shedding its coat.

It is a reindeer shedding its winter fur from white fur to brown fur, it is highly likely that it is owned by the Sami, the Sami are the indigenous people of Northern Europe, specifically in the region known as Sápmi, which stretches across northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia. they engage in traditional reindeer herding, fishing and handicrafts

Water from springs and lakes are safe as long as they're flowing, the moss, algea and marsh areas filters the water. The only places you can't drink water directly from springs abd creeks is around farm areas. If you're still unsure if it's safe, you can always just boil it.

Speaking for myself, and some of my close friends; yes we are aware of the different meanings some of our words have in English (or even other languages), and we sometimes use it for a bit of fun. Being speakers of such a small language though, it will often remain as internal jokes because it is rare that speakers of other languages need to take Norwegian into consideration. The whirlpools are fairly safe to traverse by boat, just don't fall into them, and listen to the locals who actually know what they are doing! 🙂 The "burger" with the egg on top is most likely steak tartare, which is basically raw, ground/minced beef, with some seasoning, and a soft yolk egg on top. Killer/Orca whales are often indifferent to humans in the water, so you will likely be fairly safe if you are careful. But these are large animals that kill seals, fish, rays, dolphins, and even white sharks on occasion, so as with all wildlife; err on the side of caution.

Usually, you can drink from streams, but you have to be smart about it. Always use a clear bottle so you can check if the water is clear and not contaminated. Also, always check a little ways upstream to make sure that there isn't a rotting animal carcass in or around the water. You never know if, for example, an animal has taken a shit in the water upstream and drinking contaminated water, even small amounts, when you're hiking for a long period, is dangerous. Short trips are usually okay, though.

Saft is super popular here. It’s concentrated fruit or berry juice then delude it with water when poring into a glass. It comes in many flavors and is super delicious, also fun to delude it with sparkling water or sprite soda.

Saft is a juice concentrate. Evaporating (or otherwise removing) the water from berry and fruit juices prevents bacterial and mold growth and is a means of food preservation. Traditional saft would typically be made out of a single kind of berry, but the modern industrial varieties are often a combination of fruit, berry and vegetable extracts and concentrates. You'll find various types of concentrates made in various ways with various names throughout the world, it's not a particularly norwegian thing.

I wonder if Orcas call us Killer Apes 🤔

I allways drink water right from the rivers when I hike. Never gotten me sick doing it.

Saft is the best! In old tradition, people would pick fruit and berries from their kitchen gardens and/or from the forest/mountain and boil them with sugar into a concentrated syrup, which you then drink by mixing it with water. Nowadays, there's a ton of sugar free versions and a lot more flavor variatons. Husholdningssaft (household-saft) and solbærsaft (blackcurrant-saft) were probably the most popular originally. Solbærsaft is also popular to use in winter as solbærtoddy, a heated drink, optionally spiced with cinnamon and cloves, which you can bring with you on a thermos when out in the cold, skiing.

12:29 yes it's a reindeer either losing it's winter fur coat or getting it ready for a winter

You can drink water most everywhere in the nature when hiking. We have a lot of mountains, and the water are filtered through stones. Ice cold mountain water is the best.

The end of the video: As a Norwegian, I think you should visit Denmark and Sweden too. If you like Norway you should like them too and vice versa. And you'll notice the differences and similarities. You can travel freely between either (some places may have toll stations/booths though)

Almost all households have saft I believe. In my household we use blackberry and blueberry syrup/saft, highly concentrated, but we don’t drink the sugar free saft, because of the sweetener have ugly side effects. While hiking in nature, most streams are healthy and clean and we drink it, it’s the best water.

the best funny word comparison from english to norwegian is "Computer science" - directly translates to "datafag" in Norwegian.

08:27 It is *generally* not recommended to do that, as you never know what could be in the water out in nature. But the general rule of thumb if you absolutely feel like drinking water in nature anyway, is to only drink water from areas where it is in motion, the faster the motion the better, and the more rocky the area the water the better it is. 08:55 Yes, you can do it pretty much anywhere in Norway, and the stones do function as a basic natural filtration system for the water.

Sweden and Finland is the best neighbours we could ask for.

As a kid, in Norway, I grew up in the mountains. And I was taught to find the water source. So while most places it's safe to drink from streams, it's still best to find the source.^^

you can drink the water from lakes that are running down rocks we often use it if we get thirsty whilst we’re out hunting

Adding water before saft is the equivalent of adding milk before cornflakes.

You can drink all water form moving water but be careful with still water😊😊 8:45

The whirlpool is close to Bodø, north Norway. Its the most powerful watercurrent in the world. (Saltstraumen) Seawater goes in a narrow path, making these whirlpools, same when water flows back to the ocean/ North sea. You can dive there when the current "stands still", aprox a 2 hour window. You will find alot of cod, herring and Big Wolf-fish down there. Its an awesome dive.

water constantly crushes onto the rocks and cleans itself and if it's running and you don't see the actual dirt coming you know this to be the case its clean this what we learned and we never got sick from it

5:11 Not exactly. You essentially use the process of making juice, except you don't add back the water. Being concentrated you get a product that lasts longer both in terms of more drink or liter and longer time before it goes bad. 6:00 Not just sugar free, it contains nutrients and is healthy. 8:27 It's sort of true. We don't have any severe issues with doing that. But depending on the weather and the location you may get a temporary diarrhea from doing so. Nothing truly dangerous. That said in many places it's genuinely true and you can drink the water with no ill effects.

Its true you can drink water like that!! When I’m at my family’s cabin in Norway and we go swimming, if we get thirsty we drink the water from the water we’re swimming in. There’s a rule, well not a rule but a fact. The water is safe to drink if it’s running, not if it’s still.

Saft is more like a sirup than juice. Like cola sirup, you add water (but without the bubbles)

I probably wouldn’t drink from Akerselva (a river in the middle of Oslo) or other rivers in cities, but in the forest all water is clean.

1. The hair thing is a very old bunad tradition indeed. You very seldom see this. 2. We have several really cool toilets for tourists. Usually along the most popular tourist roads. 3. I'm shocked you don't have this juice. It's often one part joice and seven parts water. It means that one litre will give you seven litres of juice. 4. Yes, we have many natural water sources. Some filtrated through the mountain, and some on top of the mountain. But no. You can't dring from any water source. 5. I'm sure the skii jumper is OK, but I wouldn't go so far as to say OK. haha 6. Yes you could easily make a video about really strange mini hotels in nature. They're amazing. 7. That was a raindeer indeed. The indigenous people - the Same people - take care of most of them. That one was tame, though. 8. Fart means speed in norwegian. So speed "lowerer" (bump). 9. The wirlpools make me nervous too. They are indeed dangerous if you go swimming. 10. Norwegians love eating food from all over the world, so you'll find restaurants from most countries. 11. The orcas are quite safe. But don't dress up like a seal for fun. haha They are very intelligent, which avoids accidents. 12. Denmark is very flat. Sweden has an ok coastal line and a really beautiful capital. Norway do have an unbeatable nature, but quite expensive. I do feel people in Norway are very friendly. I like getting a nod and a smile when meeting someone's eyes when passing them. I never got that in Stockholm, but I'm sure the smaller towns are better.

8:23 Streams like this is no problem at all, so yes. There are two main things you need to know: 1. Lemming years. Every 3-4 years there will be an explosion of Lemmings, and they'll poop all over certain places. Still water areas can be "victim" to this and you should watch out for poop before deciding to refill a bottle in some still water. Again, streams are okay. 2. Glacier water (if you're at or just near one - I mean 100 m. or less). I was completely fine doing it but animals may die in the glacier. Bottom line: If the water has travelled a bit, it's fine. Edit: It is crazy/insane that you should *NOT* be able to drink anywhere. And yes you can do this anywhere in Norway... anyways, forgot to mention glacier water does not taste good straight from it so there's no point unless you are desperate. It taste like iron, or one of those old batteries you could stick your tongue out with the connectors and harmlessly get a weird "taste".

You can drink fresh water from rivers and streams almost eveyrwhere. There are some places that are polluted and there is often a sign about that, but if you stay away from industrial areas and close to farms, you should get clean water - especially if you pick the water from a waterfall, that is almost always clean. Just make sure you never drink still water, it must be running water. Streams are ok, waterfalls best, but pools and lakes are generally not ok unless you filter or boil the water somehow.

Saft is concentrated juice from berries and fruits etc that you then mix with water to make a drink. So such a bottle can last a long time. You typically mix it with one part of the saft to 9 parts of water to make it into something you can drink. It comes in a variety of flavors.

There has as far as I know not been a recorded human death related to killer whale attacks outside captivity. But, it's worth knowing that there are two groups of killer whales. The first group is the Resident Killer Whales that live closer to land and primarily eat fish. They also live in groups or pods, often consisting of 20 animals, sometimes more. The other group is the Transient Killer Whales who live farther out in the open ocean who hunt and feed on hefty marien mammals, like seals, dolphins and juvenile whales. These whales are typically not interacting much with other killer whales, and if possible avoid them. These two groups are separate species that parted long ago, and their behavior and lifestyles are quite different. If you want to swim with killer whales, the first groups would be your choice...

When summer is short and winter is long, you have to find ways to conserve nature's abundance. Boiling saft is one such method. You boil fruit or berries with a little water, strain it in a clean cloth and fill it in sterile bottles. There is a limit to how much fruit we can grow in Norway, but the forest and mountains are full of wild berries that anyone can pick. Many also have berry bushes in the garden. Berries are good for saft/juice or jam. Today, most of the saft is produced in factories, and sugar has been replaced with artificial sweeteners as an alternative.

Talking about joking about "fart" in norwegian. My wife and I walk with different speeds, she walks much faster than me, while I tend to be slow. So often we agree that ew each go with our speeds and then she can wait for me at some point in the path, so I may say "Jeg går med min fis, og du går med din fis" + literally translated this means "I walk with my fart and you walk with your fart" which makes little sense until you realize that fart means speed in norwegian.

Saft is like a drink you mix with water so it tastes better. Its not juice. 🥤

Saft is concentrate from berries and fruits, way too strong to be drunk on its own. Two common strengths; mixed with water 1:4 and mixed 1:9. It is much cheaper than most other drinks per consumed unit. Even so it is losing terrain to soft drinks. Mountain springs are upstream from everything and we have too cold a climate for streams to have parasites. I bet you could do the same high up in US mountains. The pre-requisites are altitude, cold, and no settlements up the stream. The animal is a reindeer shedding its winter coat. And yup, domesticated. Yes, literal translation would be "Speed dampeners" and yes I've thought about the English meaning.

Drinking water from nature is safe as long as it's flowing, and not stagnant water.

Sugarfree stuff is very popular. You have sugarfree jelly, ice cream, pudding, vanilla sauce, ice coffie and muchmuch more. I go for sugarfree everytime, it tastes as good as with sugar on many products.
