When we look at the weather forecast it looks like the sun is setting down 8 of July next time… It around one month without sunset… That’s how it is north of Arctic Circle this time of the year.

People often ask us if it’s difficult with the dark winters. The answer is simple. The winters are much more calm and relaxed. This time of the year is stressful and you got lots of energy. We never want to go to bed. If you watch the sunset it’s suddenly sunrise and so beautiful!
This time of the year we constantly are sleepy and tired. We want to be everywhere and do everything. The light inspiring us to be active and not sleeping.

This pictures are from the canoe trip last week with my brother. We had lots of coffee and tea and late nights.

Tomas, my brother, an I have been exploring a new canoe route just west of Jokkmokk. It’s not very hard but it’s including some portages between lakes. This gives a hole new perspective to the canoeing. It’s not a market canoe route.

I will start editing the video from the trip and later (when we got time) I will share the route including GPS coordinates for the portage. Maybe someone else wants to travel the same route.

Do you call this Elk or Moose?

I have the true answer! There are two different types. The European, and the American. In Europe we got the ’alces alces’ (latine name) and in North America they got the ’alces americano’. In Europe is the correct English name is elk and in North America the name is Moose!

To@make the whole thing little bit more confusing… they got Elk in North America as well. But when they are talking about Elk… they talk about a special type of deer, not a animal of the typ alces.

Anyway… it’s a beautiful animal. This pictures are from Sarek National Park during some summer hiking trips.

Home sweet home. Fare up in the north. Just above the Arctic Circle outside the small village Jokkmokk. This is where we live together with our dogs, all around the year.

When we read and listen to the news, we very often feel that this is a totally different world. A different planet. It’s calm, peaceful and not like the news describe the world outside Swedish Lapland.

We are so happy for our corner of this world and we wish everyone could have a satisfying life that they love like we do.

It’s beautiful in the late evenings. Just take a walk along some trails. Looking at the nature, smell the plants, the sun is still dropping below the horizon but just briefly. The nights are not dark anymore. It’s just a lovely time of the year.

Now it’s little bit more than a week ago why we were camping the last time. That can’t be good. I think you need much more regular camping routines. At least a couple of nights per week…

Now and then we bring our fishing rods on the tours or just goes on a dedicated fishing trip. It’s not to catch big amounts of fish but catch and eat is nice. It’s food that you know where it comes from. It’s food that you have been catching by yourself. That’s a good feeling.

The most important of our fishing trips is anyway the time around the fire. Zipping on a coffee and just enjoying the life.

This pictures are from the archive. Some years old and just from some shorter trips around Jokkmokk.

Springtime is good period for exploring small creeks, flooded wetlands and other places where you need high water to be able to visit. Normally this time of the year is when you have the highest water level for the season. The ground is full of water since all the snow is just melting.

This year it’s already water levels that are comparable with the summer levels. The reason is probably because we had so little snow last winter.

If you’re interested, then check out ‘vattenweb + smhi’ at internet. You will find a very interesting map where you can se different years, average for several years, max and min etc.

Anyway, we had a good packraft tour along one of this creeks a couple of days ago. Volker, Stina and me and of course Annie and Johnny. Here some mobile pictures from that trip.

Some pictures over our paradise. This is where we live together with our dogs. It’s our home, our work, our life.

You can see our kennel and the tiny house, 50 square meters big. In there, we have our kitchen, sleeping room, office, library, toilet, film studio, bakery and sometimes we also have up to 10 dogs inside the house.

It’s definitely our paradise!

We start to look forward for the backpacking season in the mountains. It’s something special with carrying a backpack that contains everything you need for a week. It’s so simple. Back to basics. Your home is where you are. It’s a kind of freedom.

In the mountains it’s also really clear that you are just something small that walks around on this planet. You are just one human that walks side by side with other animals. You’re exposed to wind and rough weather.

I have never been sailing but probably it’s some similar feeling?
