This was absolutely amazing, thank you for showing me your journey. I hold my tears many many times. It's so beautiful, calming, so moving. Well done!

I watched this video last night, but I felt I needed to come back and comment today. This was one of the best videos I’ve seen of a documentary type hiking adventure on KZread. Amazing job…

Thanks unknown guy from the internet for this reminder how great it is there up north in Sweden

This movie made my day. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🇩🇰

This is really well done! The filming, the editing, the interviews... all very well put together for an excellent end product.

It was better though!

I'd recommend hiking this trail even layer in the season, as in beginning-middle of september. Why, because of the northern lights! It is magical to say the least

Prachtige beelden, prachtige natuur...erg mooi in beeld gebracht. Als Nederlander in 2016 geëmigreerd naar Zweden... blijft dit kippenvel geven.... Zo mooi...

Ik denk dat u een goede beslissing heeft genomen. Dat hoop ik. Ik woon in België en ik merk, ik heb me nooit thuis gevoelt. Je kunt wel een huis hebben, maar nooit thuis komen en een 'thuis gevoel' voelen. Zelfs de mentaliteit. Sweden is meer naar mijn persoonlijkheid. Ik ben op zoek. Het noorden. Nog zo veel uit te zoeken. Wie weet, gaat het ooit lukken om thuis te komen in Sweden. Ik hoop, dat u ook een ' thuis gevoel' heeft aldaar. Veel geluk verder en beste groeten.

This is a phenomenal video. I've hiked on Kungsleden as well, and you captured the beauty of it in a remarkable way. Well done!

You have done an amazing job of capturing the scenery and together with the wonderful narration and storytelling, this is truly a masterpiece. I've been hiking Kungsleden and the surrounding area every summer for 3 years now and I miss it every time. My longing for Kungsleden eventually led me here. I recognize what you discovered about the people and the many stories that gets carried around Kungsleden. Every story that is shared with me enriches and improves my hike, thank you for sharing your story and the story of the amazing people you met along the trail.

Wow, loved that!

Prachtig hoor heb nu 2 delen gelopen met mn vriendin maar ik ga weer terug om het af te maken. Heerlijke film. Wat een gemis.

Wow! You truly captured the beauty and serenity of the Kungsleden. I hope to return one day - and this time I hope the weather allows me to get up Skierffe!

Beatiful movie mannnn .

Mooi gedaan Mathias!

well im inspired to hike kungsleden now. great video!

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Very inspiring to do it myself one day. And your tips on gear and food etc is noted :-)

Very nice production👌👌👌

Beautiful video

Wow genoten van de prachtige beelden die je gemaakt hebt. Heimwee naar de secties die ik zelf gelopen heb, beetje jaloezie omdat mijn geplande trip deze zomer niet door kon gaan ;-) ... fijne afwisseling tussen de verhalen van de mensen onderweg en mooie landschappen. Well done!

This amazing film makes me want to experience this trail for myself, as someone who's never been further north than Orsa.

Good job!

Amazing video 💥🙂👍👍

Great video!

Thank you for filming, informing and sharing with us behind the computer screen home.. One day withe in the next years I / we will walk Kungsleden in North Sweden :-)

Very good.

Epic! Would love to do this!!!!

Erg genoten van je documentaire. Mooi gemaakt en inspirerend. In 2021 ben ik van plan weer te gaan wandelen, en dan met tent, voor het eerst maar wil misschien eerst de tent en benodigdheden huren om het uit te proberen. Kreeg deze tip van Outdoorinspiratie.

Very nice film! I sat right behind you when you did the interview with the hut warden at Singi, just having my lunch.

@starthiking2871

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I hope you get to take some time off to hike this trail - it's incredible and so worth it! As for the mosquitoes: I hiked in August, but towards the end of my hike the numbers of mosquitoes were already smaller. In september they are almost gone entirely, while the views are even more spectacular as the surroundings turn to bright autumn colors! Might even catch a glimpse of northern lights! However, there are chances of lower temps and snow and the days shorten quite fast. A great compromise would be to start halfway or at the end of August. Starting late in september does also puts some pressure on your shedule as the boats are taken out and the huts close at the season's ending somewhere towards the end of september.

Yes they are! Dogs are allowed ON the trail, but not off the trail on side tracks like the one to Skierfe. Campfires are fine as long as you leave not trace and preferably use already established pits.

Great video Mathias! Looks like a very peaceful trek for sure. The views look amazing!

A beautiful Arctic char @23:26 and a mountain hare shortley thereafter

Great video and hike. Can you fit a foot print to the Scarp 1 like the Hilleberg tents or do you place the foot print on the ground first. Really enjoyed watching and subbed you. Thanks Steve.

@starthiking2871

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve! It's not a feature, but maybe with some DIY skills you could connect a footprint to the corners, as there are clips in the corners for the inner tent. However, I didn't use a footprint. The floor of the tent is extremely durable and has served me for years without groundsheet with some precautions. If you would like to use one, most Tarptent users take a tyvek sheet and place it under the tent flooring. Tarptent even sells tyvek foot prints to the exact measurements. I would use it in extremely rocky areas or desert grounds. Although on the kungsleden you have to be careful with the scrubs too.

Great documentary! A thought from someone who plans to walk the trail. Did you pick up packages of food at all the restocking places, or did you shop under the road at some point?

@starthiking2871

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! And great to hear your planning too. I shipped food to resupply points along the way: Ammarnäs (supermarket), Jackvik (supermarket), Kvikkjokk (fjallstation), Saltoluokta (fjallstation). I emailed them beforehand to ask if they could hold my parcels. The fjallstations have a system, you pay a small fee. In Ammarnas you could contact Wardshus and in Jackvik the hostel (in the movie) as well. For me there were multiple reasons to ship food ahead. For one: I planned my food to my hiking planning with regards to calories and stuff. I also wanted to eat REAL Turmat, which they don't sell along Kungsleden. Most of the food is Adventure Food and some other brands like 24H meals. That is the third reason: supplies are limited. Freeze dried food is not sold everywhere, and when it is there are just a couple of flavors to choose from. And fourth: the prices along the trail are steep, so shipping is not more expensive while you get to pick your supplies as you like. I also shipped toilet paper, toothpaste and snacks like chocolate etc. There are supply points along the way. Ammarnäs has a supermarket. Jackvik a big supermarkt with a small selection of freeze dried food. The Fjallstations and some huts also sell a small selection. I relied on these places to hold my parcel, but also to buy gas canisters (primus), ice cream, chocolate, and other snacks to supplement my own. Because you can not have too many snacks when out hiking! One thing to consider is the post in Northern Sweden. It is very unreliable. All my parcels arrived, but some took 3 weeks (while the Dutch post estimated 3 to 4 days). Based on the labels, some parcels went through as much as 4 different postal companies. If you have the chance to ship directly from Sweden, it is very recommended to use Bussgods. In the end Bussgods will handle most packages anyway and it is the most reliable service in the North. I would suggest a backup plan if parcels would somehow not arrive: I picked up my parcels at places I could buy alternative supplies if need be. Glad I didn't have to!

I just realized I have to do this.
