Matti & Stina - JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA
We are Matti and Stina and we live year-round in Jokkmokk, North of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland with a bunch of Siberian Huskies and 2 Border collies.
We run Jokkmokkguiderna which is a small lifestyle company (the two of us and our dogs) that offers guided outdoor tours. During winter we mostly run dog sled tours and summertime it's canoe, hiking tours and wildlife safaris.
Since the Corona pandemic hit us all in spring 2020 we´ve started to post videos more frequently here on KZread to try to share our life, knowledge and somehow move the adventure to you instead of your physical self to the adventure.
We really like to share our life and experiences with you all but it takes a lot of time to produce videos.
If you like to support us and help us to be able to produce more videos we would be very grateful!
You can support us either on Buy Me A Coffee, Patreon or PayPal, see links below

Stina & Matti and all the doggies

I love this review. I can see where it would fall short. It looks awesome to me but it is a good reminder that if I want a perfect tent for desert camping it may not work for the mountains. I may need two 😅
Proper love this guy, none of that bullshit you get from some of the U.S hiker or U.K wildcamping scene. Take this guy's word over any of them.
Hiking for 40 years! Must be tired after that
Hej Matti! Är det smidigast att gå iland vid Rahka och gå stigen upp för att bestiga farforijdda från öst? Ser väldigt läckert ut!
Useless tent when it rains as the outer tent is not connected to the inner tent when set up?😢
Very good, & professional tent demonstration, Matti...👍 From the sound of it,... It would be a very good southern equator type tent to have, in the south, in warmer climate... Take care, & keep making these awesome videos...🙂
Ahh, that is a desert tent. Very limited use up here in Sweden. Thanks for an interesting show of the tent. 👍🏻
Matti, thank you for such a comprehensive review (as always). What brand is your hoodie by the way?
I'm glad you've managed to survive the "manflu" 🙂 Great review. I was considering this tent and have eventualy bought Nemo Dagger Osmo 2p. Bit heavier bit different. I am happy with it for now.
Good vid Matti. Dog gone skeeters carry you off. All good points on tent. The zipper set up sucks. Eat alive when you need to run out and pee. Bad very bad. No vents in roof, unheard of. Not for me. Hey take care. Bring dog next time too many bears. Later from Kentucky USA
This and cupper spur was two of the tents I looked at when i bought my tent….I went with the opposite a 4kg heavy HB Staika since I bring my kids and they want the ”secure” feeling of ”closing the door”. Also I will use the tent for kayak so I need a self supporting tent and weight is not an issue. First night in the tent last night, temperature drop from 24->17 degrees and rain but no wind so we got rather much condensation on the inside of the outer tent but nothing on the inner tent. But I was happy for getting the HB and not the BA.
Excellent review,. You covered all the points. I, for one, want my tent pegs to stay in the round all night so I normally put a heavy rock on top of each peg. Never have I had to get out of my tent at night to re stake a peg that has pulled out of the ground. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada.
I bought that tent from REI used, the zipper had come apart. I was able to get it back together but that zipper is a known weakpoint on the Tigerwall, so be careful opening and closing it. I rubbed candlewax along the teeth to lubricate it and it works better.
If only my bed sheets were color coded.
Hey...waiting for snow, the perfect mosquito repellent.
This is a very helpful review. I live where there’s always a lot of rain and humor and I don’t think this will be the best for me. What is your favorite summer tent?
Great review I’m thinking of getting this for bicycle touring
great review thank you for that but your mosquito 's where making me crazy , you know scratching
Hi Matti, love your reviews and videos. Have you heard of the Durston Xmid 1 and 2 person tents? It would be nice for you to use it for a year and do a review.
This is a very good review that highlights some of the sacrifices that a user has to make to have an ultralight tent. Where I live we can go months without rain and wind is pretty predictable so a tent like the Tiger Wall can be a great choice. It can also be very warm, even at higher altitude, so the more mesh the better. One thing I'd like to mention is that I camp on sandstone sometimes and it is like sand paper. It will rub a hole through even a heavy backpacking tent floor eventually, so I prefer a lighter tent floor with a footprint that I can replace easily. I use a SOL brand emergency blanket for the footprint because they are cheap and relatively durable. Great video Matti.
Thanks! That’s a really good explanation why a thin floor + ground sheet is a good combination for you!!! That really makes sense. /Matti
Great advice, thanks. I avoid high summer and go to Padjelanta in the cooler second part of August, plus using deet as often as sunscreen on the beach. Have luckily not had a serious mosquito problem.
Sounds great! In August the mosquitoes are usually really few most of the time. /Matti
Meckigt==fiddly It's ok. Might help someone who doesnt speak Swedish 😀
Fiddly! Thanks! I’m really got like a goldfish memory. Now when you write it I think I have heard it before. Thanks for helping out with my Swenglish! /Matti
Have you ever tried the Bonfuls ultralight shelter? Would love to hear you about this! Thanks for the videos!
I have never heard or tried that one… I will keep my eyes open. /Matti
With better pegs and longer lines, etc, then the weight will not be very much lighter than the Rogen. I would rather carry 0,5 kg extra and have a tent I can rely on. 😉
How much is Rogen? For Scandinavia you are probably totally right! /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Minimum weight is 1.9 kg without spare rod and extras. 2.2 kg with everything. But then there is a 3 person Rogen weighing 2.2 kg stripped down. I use Enan for extreme light trips, Unna for solo winter trips and Rogen 2 for solo summer trips. Air flow is important in summer, something Rogen can provide even when raining, I just leave the entrances closed half way even in rain.
I have this tent in the ultralight dynema version. I cut those little triangles so I could close the two zippers together. I sent the tent to a repair place to add an upper zipper on the interior so I could look out. On my version the whole interior is thin solid fabric. I had the repair people add mesh to the upper door so I could see out at all in good weather. I stake the back corner fly on a separate stake from the inner. After all this the tent is functional and very light. I took it on the first part of the Kungsleden. The tent was not adequate for the wind. I had to use trekking poles to support it under the fly. There are not adequate upper level tie outs. Strings tied to the roll up loops just ripped off. The trekking pole handle ripped through the fly so I had to tape it during the night. Nonetheless I stayed dry more or less. Most other people in heavier tents bailed out to the warming hut. You can be creative to make an ultralight tent work but you may destroy the tent in the process. I have given up on the tiger wall except under very mild conditions and when is mildness guaranteed? I’m still looking for the perfect tent that is lightweight…
Could you put the extra floor inside ? at least in bad conditions like rain?
I use the extra floor under the inner tent. /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I mean to save time from a heavy rain, jump in the tent then unfold the extra floor.
i cant stop laughing at the mosquito sounds. Thanks for sticking it out and giving us the review
Hahahaha… yes they almost destroyed the sound recording… 🤣 The mosquitoes wasn’t so bad at all. They were many of them but they didn’t bite me! Maybe because of the Nitecore EMR40? /Matti
I was starting to scratch😅
nice de nice thanks for the tips
I guess a big problem also is when one try to put up the tent when it rains. The inner tent must be built before the outer tent. On my Hilleberg the poles is on the outside of the outer tent. Because of that I can build the outer tent to get shelter and still have a dry inner tent. Thanks for the reviews from a Skåning.
You can pitch the flyer and the floor if you want. That’s not a problem. The big problem comes when you want to make this in combination with heavy wind… You can see that if you check the review of Big Agnes Copper Spur at our channel. 😃 /Matti
I tried this tent but it is not long enough for me (which is the case for most lightweight tents). I am 196cm and use a neoair xterm pad which is about 6cm thick. Ended up buying the long version of the copper spur and that works really well.
196 is really a big Viking!!! :-) /Matti
I hear the mosquitos. Your area must be like northern Minnesota in the USA. The mosquito is the state bird😊.
Hahahaaaaa… State bird!!! 🤣 /Matti
Hej Stina and Matti, I was part of this fantastic dog sledding tour, we had such a great time together, it was one of the best things I did in my life and I will participate again for sure. I felt in love with my five huskys and was crying when I had to leave them, they are so beautiful and lovely dogs. Now I'm looking forward for the wildlife expedition in september and for my first winter in Lapland. Martine
Go Indian style , just need water flask, no need for wipes or toilet paper.
Härligt 😊👍
Video full of wisdom, thank you! Greetings from Germany 👋
Thanks!!! /Matti
"Wooly underwear. It has saved me on a lot of cold nights" Couldn't agree more!
😍
Like you, I wish I could have told my 40 year younger self all that I know now about hiking and backpacking that decades of experience has taught me. So much of your story parallels my own (e.g., starting with Trangia).
But we had really fun back in the old days with trangia, 0ld school tents and so on! 🥰 /Matti
Häftigt att ni är ute och paddlar/tältar på er fritid när ni inte har turistgrupper 👍 Skön livsstil ni har där i myggparadiset
Some great practical advice. I'd come to some of the same conclusions on a few of those things on myown, so I'm interested to try the other ideas.
Note to self: Avoid Lapland in July. I wonder if Greenland is any better that time of year? Maybe Antartica? "Lapland would compete with Paradise" -- Thanks. I'll remember that. :)
It's always great to see how well your huskies obey your commands. Kungsleden is one of my favourite trails. Now I have only three huskies and this trail is too hard for them. When I have a few more huskies, I can come there again.
Tack för recensionen! Det blir nu ett sånt här för mig 🥳 Finare färg dock! 😬😃
Färgen är viktig!!!
Really nice episode Matti, you have a pleasant way of speaking in front of the camera.
Thanks! 😃 I hope you find some useful ideas in this video. /Matti
In my opinion: Choose a sleeping bag 10°C beyond the comfort temperatur. Regards from Cologne, Stephan
It’s rare that you complain that the sleeping bag was to warm! ;-) …so you’re probably on the right path! /Matti
I have used this stove on several long motorcycle trips in extreme conditions (Siberia in winter sleeping in a tent with a 1939 sidecar) and it performed very well, without any fail.
It’s really boom proof! :-) /Matti
Solid advice! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks! That’s lovely that you liked some of the ideas! 😃 /Matti
Excellent video. I've started hiking just recently
Lovely! Then you have a lot to explore. Have you heard the saying: ‘Always keep your boots dirty!’. 😃 /Matti
What a harsh, magical place... Use bright orange tape, on the water caps,... So, that if it goes missing, you can easily find them ? Great cabin cleaning ethics,... Everyone benefits ! Take care, Matti... Awesome, as ever...👍
That’s a brilliant idea with bright orange tape!!! /Matti
You save fuel. How much does the cooking system weigh compared to lighter systems? How long do you have to be out before you gain in fuel weight from taking that kitchen. If you have time, you can save fuel by making a fire.
Good questions! But this Primus pot isn’t for open fire… But I totally agreed. You can have a lightweight stove that consumes gas or a little bit more heavy that save gas. There will be some breaking points somewhere… That’s even more relevant for longer hikes without possibility to reapply. /Matti
Vi tänker så likt Matti, även om jag vandrar mycket i alperna och går lättare på sommaren pga höjdmetrarna! Drömmen är att guida i norra Skandinavien igen!! Utbyte? Eller guida folk norrifrån i alperna! Vettiga och bra info från dig byggt på erfarenhet , tack 🙏
Tack och vad kul att vi tänker lika. Antagligen så är detta basic som man förr eller senare på något vis upptäcker om man vandrar endel. 😃 /Matti
Hej Matti, hur är legitt? Unfortunately my English is a holy shit (I understand much more than I am able to talk), and my Swedish is even more worse 😂, but I like your Videos very much! All the Best, Stephan from Cologne
Thanks! Läget är bra! :-) As long as we try to speak and write we have a chance to develop our language. I was really crap with English in school but I haven’t given up. I understand what you are writing and hopefully you understand what I’m writing! :-) /Matti
