David Darcy from "down under" is one of the few YouTube profiles we trust. His MAD channel (Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV) has tons of adventure reports and equipment reviews, so check it out. This former police officer and motorcycle nut, knows what he is talking about. Here, he is testing the Royal Enfield Bear 650 scrambler. You too can do the same – at SKOG™Ø, coming up in a week and a half.

Jeg har været på familieferie i bil.... stationcar med hund.
Det var rigtig dejlig, men nu står den på motorcykel!

Jeg tager et s**t forbi Bornholm til møde og for at tjekke ruter, og derefter til Sverige og grus, grus og mere grus. Jeg glæder mig vildt til at sove i skoven og nyde stilheden. Hold kæft hvor bliver det godt!

We are now outside Älvdalen, in this lovely cabin, provided by the community. What an idea- and believe it or not: It is left open and it is free. And…. it is not full of garbage and has not been burned to the ground. (Got the hint?)
Our good friend Elving and his wife came to see us yesterday, giving Gina a well deserved break from fishing.

In Sweden - and we love it. Found a spot perfect for setting up camp and fishing. Quite windy but sunny here, by the lake Burusjön. A couple of gorgeous reindeer came to check us out - got them on video.

The Skjold 3 has been a great shelter so far. Easy setup and tear down. Amazingly sturdy in strong wind and rain. The only thing bugging me is the tub floor dimension - too short for my Amok XL Fjøl mat.

Roads here are so ###xx nice. Can’t wait to get home and exchange the car for the Himalayan and return here!

We slept up in the highlands between Gudbrandsdalen and Østerdalen last night, by the road where these Norwegian heroes fled after their mission in Telemark. Our heroine Gina caught a nice trout. I decided not to tell her that we wore in brown bear territory and made up a convenient story for the calf carcass and camera posted not far from us. This morning we ran into a group of hunters that was looking for a bear with a taste for sheep.
Oh well, we have just passed Koppang on our way to Dalarna, Sweden.
