So now that Norwegian has made flying to norway from California cheap as poo poo, I'm going to come over and hang out at your cabin for a few weeks. Cool?

Yeah, totally cool. I'm not kidding, if for some insane reason you all find yourself in the middle country of Norway with nothing better to do and time to waste, I will quite literally be cool with you staying at the cabin. It's what it's there for.

However, I have to put in a caveat here: There's a real chance if you're for real thinking of going for a cabin trip that you might run right smack into some cabin ennui. This is not the greatest cabin in the world, and I intentionally make it look interesting (as far as possible) in pictures but there's nothing that special about it. It's just a cabin. The area itself is nothing too special either, it's just a place to be alone and obviously, due to the law of freedom to roam it's a place to hang out while hiking wherever you want and doing whatever, fishing, hunting etc. It's not completely isolated, there are some cabins dotted around the landscape, so you're not like, Alaska isolated (though unlikely to meet anyone anyway) and it's not hard to get to and from the cabin - it's actually a surprisingly short distance from the road, it's just a bit of a climb. I'm just saying, don't get hyped up or have huge expectations. It's just a cabin, and not a big one at that. Just as an example, here's an alternative cabin that open to tourists willing to hike a litte:

https://www.ut.no/hytte/3.2222/

However, if you can keep your expectations mostly within reason, I absolutely do mean my invite and feel free to PM me to let me know if and when so I can plan around it. If anyone would actually be around this part of the country for some reason, I don't recommend catching a flight just for a cabin trip, I imagine that would have to get disappointing.

Things close by that I would recommend also:

https://www.ut.no/tur/2.5584/ (ancient farms and a really cool hike)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sula,_Tr%C3%B8ndelag (family has a summer house and a boat there, it's an old fishing village, just insane fishing opportunities. Lobsters too.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovre (amazing hiking, food, and yeah muskoxen. Do not approach the loving muskoxen)

https://www.roros.no/en/ (UNESCO heritage village)

I would say that december is a good time for many reasons, not the least of which that it's christmas season which gets kinda nuts in Norway (in a good way). The cabin is best during wintertime (though I'm biased since I like winter), because it hides the lovely plot where I'm supposed to make a lawn type thing and I haven't gotten around to it yet. I expect there to be snowfall come december. Don't worry about transport, I'll just use the snow mobile and trailer. It's a bit of a climb. Other lovely times are spring before the horseflies and midges and autumn during hunting season when the leaves all go yellow and there's a hint of winter in the air.

November I'm away for a bit for SNOW (Scandinavian Open West Coast Swing championship event in Stockholm), just fyi.

Yeah, it's alright because a basic hunting license includes all of the above, so as long as I don't go for deer, moose or reindeer I don't have to get any additional licenses. I have been thinking of branching into Moose hunting though, because holy hell the amount of meat on those things. It's not even bad quality, it's really quite excellent meat.

You hunt as well? What for? How hard is it to get a hunting license in the US anyway?

Because no one brings a claim this stupid such that it would warrant appellate review...except the controlling case that I’ve cited 6 times now making clear “you cannot bring this claim” (but it was a direct appeal not a MSJ. So apparently irrelevant)

I don’t hunt as much as most hunters around here, but when I do it’s ducks, deer, wild turkey, sometimes quail or pheasant (but that’s more of a novelty around here).

To get a hunting license in Louisiana you have to take a hunter’s safety class, then you get an annual basic license that costs like $15. If you are hunting with an adult who has a license, you technically don’t need the safety class.

There are then surcharges for the various types of hunting. Big game is $14, duck is $5 or something plus a federal duck “stamp” which is actually a postage stamp but is a requirement. That’s $30 or something like that. Bow hunting, another permit. If you want to hunt public lands it’s another permit. If you’re from out of state it’s another $150 I think.

You can buy a lifetime license for like $300 that covers most fees (still need the annual federal duck stamp, far example). All these fees go toward wildlife management (and enforcement of course).

You don’t gently caress around with that stuff. Wildlife agents can seize everything you have with you if you hunt without a permit—your guns, equipment, ATVs, vehicles...

I didn’t explain getting a gun because this is Louisiana and you can buy one from a weirdo at a traveling carnival without any registration or record.

That's cool. That actually means you probably qualify as a hunter in Norway and can get registered for a norwegian hunting license on the basis of equivalent license holding (except for deer, moose and reindeer).

Rules and procedures seem remarkably similar too, with the notable exception of guns. I've just managed to get a simple shotgun transferred to me (it's actually a combi over-under .222 and 12/70) after three months of applications, but I can't register it as a combi weapon (and thus can't buy ammo for it) because the registerable weapon barrel wasn't registered properly back in the eighties when it was imported. So now I gotta fix that mess. I wonder if I need to contact a lawyer.

Anything much more complicated than that and I think you are going to want counsel just so they can focus on the claim more than you can.
