I spent the afternoon yesterday with my wife and youngest kids, exploring #åsnensnationalpark. Sweden’s newest National Park, that opened up earlier this year. Most of the parks area is water, but there’s still some nice forests and trails to explore. There’s a general camping ban in the entire park during spring and summer, expect on one designated place. But from 15 September to 30 April it’s legal to wild camp in some places of the park, and I’d really like to do it before next summer. It’s been a while since I was out camping last time, but hopefully I’ll get out next weekend on some hot tent camping. Too long time between camping trips makes me restless

I’ve has my eye on this beauty for more than a year now, and when @tindeberg_se had a 40% discount I had to buy it. A @gstove heat view. Far from UL, and definitely not something for hiking trips. But for chilly canoe trips in fall and spring, and winter camping trips, this will be great. The plan is to try it out next weekend with C, in my @helsport #nordmarka6 tipi.
I can’t wait to get out again. Me and C haven’t been out together since June, and I’ve really missed having that little tornado with me. (I also think I need to save up to get a @tentipiofficial Safir 5 bp to get the absolute most out of these ultra comfortable canoe trips I’m planning 😅)

The winds got worse through the night, but eventually died down around 01-02.00. I had set my alarm clock to 05.00, but I hardly slept anything. Eventually I got sick of tossing and turning, packed up my gear and left the beach at 04.40. The sun wasn’t up yet, but it was still bright enough to paddle. The water was a lot smoother today. I’m on my way home now, and I’ll try to write up a trip report on my site this weekend

I had some issues battling the winds, and I was actually in a pretty bad mood. But eventually, with a sore body and aching muscles, I found a nice place to camp. I think I’ll stay here for a couple of nights. Tomorrow I’m going for a hiking trip up to the mountain top #Bottølen, and perhaps also #Søndrebjørnberget. Small mountain tops, but it will be nice to do a light off trail hiking trip.

My three month test period with the MiniFinder Pico is over, and I’ve given MiniFinder feedback on what I like, and what rooms I think there are for improvement.
Both Corinne and I really liked the ability to call home where coverage was bad, since the Pico uses a foreign phone subscription, and this uses whatever provider that has the best coverage, but I think there’s room to make the usage a bit more intuitive. .

I’ve had problems with insomnia ever since I was a child, and this week I haven’t slept more than a couple of hours each night. Tonight I fell asleep at 24.00, woke up at 02.00 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I decided to pack my hammock and a quilt, and drive to Jägaregap nature reserve to watch the sunup instead of just tossing and turning at home. Unfortunately I didn’t get any sleep there either, but I got to watch a beautiful sunup, and hear the animals wake up in the forest.
