Camping in February? Slaskträffen Sweden winter 2024
Рет қаралды 28,899
4 ай бұрынCamping in February can be very cold. This yearly meet called Slaskträffen ("Slush meet") has had minus 15 degrees and lots of snow, but this year the weather was almost spring like. From -1 in the early morning to 6 degrees in the day.
The meet has been growing every year and attracts bikes of all kinds, from Goldwings to Harleys to Enduros and ADV bikes.
The meet is arranged by Stewe MK at @allintravelsweden the last weekend in February every year.
To find the location, keep your eyes open on his Instagram or Facebook page.
This time I got to try our a lot of new gear which was great in the cold.
The Mosko Moto Ecotherm jacket was a life saver. Also warm without the power.

Singletrack Pants from Adventure Spec. Rugged, waterproof and comfy.

My sleeping bag kept me warm all through the night. Allthough bulky it's worth bringing.

We have been riding this February in Wyoming USA. Last year I had a 7 foot snow drift across my yard in February. Must be global warming. The Sturgis Rally in South Dakota used to be a little biker gathering in the 1970s. Now everyone is invited and 600,000 biker come each year. Your friend may need to buy more land. Great video!😎👍

Hi all, have a question that may be of interest to to others thinking of exploring your amazing country. We are thinking of moving to Sweden from France but of course friends keep saying won't be able to do anything for 9 months of the year as weather so bad. Realistically speaking, how long would the riding season be if you were no further north than Vetlanda and looking for conditions similar to the video. I am sure this was exceptional weather for February but just an idea when could potter around short trips off road 30km or so, what month would those conditions start and end? And of course long trips up north in the summer. Sure it must be longer than 3 months, I hope so! Great video, cheers
@NomadSweden 3 ай бұрын
Hi. Since Greta started the warming we are lucky if we have snow more than 1-2 months in southern part of Sweden. This season i have ridden every month except January. If you want to go far north I would go end of May to september. We are getting more French every day, except our farmers are calm.
@rooineck427 3 ай бұрын
@@NomadSweden Thank for the reply, very interesting and contrary to what a lot of people think. To be honest in South west France a lot of our trails are hard work as still a mudbath with the logging vehicles as we get wet winters, so nowhere the fairly good conditions you guys had. And of course we also get the 40c plus summer heat which is no fun with gear on, so all in all is the season that much worse there or possibly even better. It really does look great there and that you could ride for 100km almost all off road, or at least from a lot of videos I see it looks like that. Yes, your farmers and Swedes in general are calmer which probably makes for a nicer experience when actually on the road, French drivers are a tad erratic to say the least! Cheers

Oxford heated grips. Like the look of the heated jacket liner. Cool music. Sketchy road. after 1 degree the wind movement can freeze it at ground level. If a person had a small lithium 12v battery the heated jacket would be extra nice in the sleeping bag if needed. Good meet. Liked the market. Bet the locals have fun with all those old crazy bikers coming to town. We've had good weather in easy Kentucky USA. early spring. Stay safe in these waning winter days. Still some dangers lurking to bite your ass. Next time. Maybe a round table discussion someday with the Nordic friends

Question: What is your engine coolant temperature in this weather? From what I remember mine was around 75 C. So it’s not perfect but it’s understandable. I remember when I bought T7 on November 2023. I flew from Calgary, AB to Abbotsford BC. We did a transaction and around 4 pm I start heading home to east towards Mountains. My first stop was Hope,BC when back in 1981 Rambo First Blood movie was made. Next day I start riding around 6am. I took highway 3 because my final destination was Lethbridge,AB. It’s 1100 km trip through the Rockies and I’m telling you my friend I was so so lucky that in end of November I was still able to drive Hgw 3. Usually at this time of the year Kootenay Pass it’s cover with snow and the road is closed. The temperature was fluctuating between -3 - +5 so it was freaking cold. The sound of T7 engine and the fact how amazing this bike is kept me alive 😂 Love your videos man. No BS just pure enjoyment. I live temporary in Elkford BC and can’t wait to bring my T7 here. This is dead end town and most of the roads are gravel service roads. So you are basically on the verge of the adventure and pure Canadian nature.
