Swedish outdoorsy goon checking in. Just found this sub forum and I love it. Already got some good equipment tips and stuff!

I used to be a avid nature person when I was a kid but kind of lost it when I moved to Stockholm for job purposes. Have gotten more into it the last year or so and planning on using this summer to expand my interest.
Already have two hikes and a canoe trip planned.

I’ve been seeing a lot of cool pictures and stories from the states. Ima hella jealous of your mountains! I have to travel like 6 hours by car to get those kind of views.

But I was wondering if there was any interest from you guys seeing some trip reports from the Swedish countryside?
First trip is this weekend where we’ll be going into an “urskog” (old-growth forest) for just a night. It’s still quite cold during the nights here, we’re mostly out to test out new equipment for the summer.

I'd be interested. Maybe make a new thread and post a link here?

I have been buying a lot of gear but I haven't been able to try them out. Work has been crazy and there's the lockdown and riots besides. And summer brings out the insects. On the other hand, I bought a hat for just hiking and now I'm wearing it everyday since I've been unable to get a haircut for months.

I’ll definitely do that! Going out Saturday, so probably have something on Monday.

I tend to wear all my new outdoor clothes as leisure wear for a while, they’re just so darn comfortable!
