Beautiful video. Interesting sidenote, if you did not already know: the reason the Scandinavian mountain range isn't as "alpine" as a lot of other mountains, like those in New Zeeland, are their age. They were once a part of the oldest mountain range in the world, together with what is the Scotish Highlands and the Appalachians. Way before the Atlantic Ocean split up.

Aaron, this is incredible :) First of all, I'm happy to be part of this video, at 22:09, and glad to hear that the motivational boost went both ways. I was really thrilled for the rest of my trip, thanks to meeting you! At 18:01, I'm on the other side of the valley, facing you! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLKPfqiKs528eIU.html hahaha It is also wonderful to see you walk the same path as I did, but in reverse, and notice the places where I had lunch, or slept... and how the landscape had already changed so much to autumn colors... I must also admit, I struggled to keep my video under 40 minutes (initially planned for under 30!) because I was afraid that long videos might be boring... However you have proved me wrong, by creating something twice as long and constantly engaging... Hats off to that my friend! PS: What amazes me, also, is how I still enjoyed it so much despite knowing the whole trail! ⛺

I also liked the dramatic ending with the dark colurs and the U-shaped valley. You should have taken a day more in Aktje and walked up to the mountain Skjerfe to get to see the view fron there. It´s said to be the most beautiful in Sweden. Myselt I walked frpn Saltoluokta to Kvikkojokk last summer and I will never forget the views.

I did however need to register my drone for EU airspace and follow the drone laws in Sweden (fly below 120m, stay away from airports, etc). Sarek National Park was also the only area on my drone map that was red and therefore restricted airspace and does require a permit, and that is why I did not fly there, but I did fly in other areas of Kungsleden. If you would like to know more about drone use in Sweden, I suggest googling it.

Hi Aaron! Such a beautiful and very inspiring video! I've been watching it for research as I'm thinking of hiking the Kungsleden on my own as well :) And I have been in awe throughout! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind! 1. What were you guys discussing at 28:50? Seems a bit stressful :) Was it about sending food packages to yourself? Is it tough to buy proper food on the trail? 2. How did you deal with wet clothes? Seems like you had quite a bit of rain. How did you manage to get everything dry overnight in the tent? Thanks so much!
@AaronRossPhoto
@AaronRossPhoto 5 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for your kind words! To answer your first question, yes, we were talking about sending food parcels. However, I only wanted to do this as I wasn’t too sure about food availability on the trail at that time (late in the season). Turns out there was still plenty of food in the mountain huts and cabins and some towns have small supermarkets, which help. So, I didn’t send any food parcels, just bought food along the trail and also made sure to stock up well when leaving Stockholm. Yeah, I had about 7 or 8 days of rain off and on, haha. I use light and generally quick drying materials for my shoes and clothes, which helps a lot. Usually my shorts were a bit damp the next morning if I stayed in the tent (is what it is), but my rain jacket would cover my upper body, so my shirt wouldn’t be wet at all. If it was a very wet day, I would try and see if there was a hut or emergency shelter that I could sleep in, which I did a couple of times. Wet socks are the worst, which I unfortunately had to deal with for a few days. Hope this helps! Have fun on trail!

Thank you! I was using the MSR Hubba 1 Person tent. The tent in my gear video was used on Te Araroa during the summer months in New Zealand. I opted for the MSR as it was a bit more durable, warm and because it is free-standing (internal poles instead of using hiking poles to set it up). Probably going to use the MSR on most future hikes as well from now on, as it’s still super light.

Hi Aaron! I was planning to go in June for a week in Abisko, and stay in the hostel and make day hikes, then I saw about the Kungsleden. I am a little worried to take a challenge like that because I didn't camp much, though there's the option of huts at least in some places. How did you prepare for this journey? Thanks Ron
@AaronRossPhoto
@AaronRossPhoto 2 ай бұрын
Hi Ron, thanks for your comment. I knew I wanted to walk the entire trail when I was planning for the walk. I tented the whole way, not staying in huts and bought my food at the STF mountain huts and villages along the way, carrying on average around 3 or 4 days of food at a time. No need to hike the full trail if you don’t feel up for it. Abisko National Park and Sarek National Park were my favourite areas, with Abisko being a bit more popular I believe, so more people around to talk to/feel safer. I hiked in the autumn (September), as I wanted to avoid the insects that I hear can be quite bad in June-August.

Amazing Video dear Aaron🙏 How did you manage to weigh only 13 kg including the food? I hiked the Kungsleden with 18kg. That was definitely too much... Is there a video of you with a packing list?

Hi, thank you! There is a link to my gear list in the description of the video. I carried usually no more than 2 or 3 days worth of food at a time and have reasonably light gear.

Hi Aaron Very, very well done! I whish I could do something similar. Both in terms of hiking and producing a film from it. I have just started my journey as an amateur videografer but I very much enjoy it. Take care and have a good one. Next time in Sweden, lets go for a kayak trip in the Stockholm archipelago. /Cheers

08:09 I see a man who told you how to say "thank you" in Swedish and he has a "Support of Ukraine" icon. I'm from Ukraine. The support of such people of goodwill all over the world is very important to us. I've been dreaming of doing this route for a long time and I hope when I'm in Abisko that I'll meet this man and say thank you. Can you tell me the address of that store?! Thank you.

Sure thing, this store is located at the first hut on the trail (STF Abiskojaure Mountain Cabin, N68.286147, E18.591137, about 14km south of Abisko).

ok, before visiting a country learn "thank you" and "hello" and "godbye" ;-)

In general a nice video, BUT you make a BIG NO NO! The pointy emergency huts are only for short breaks and emergency situations, basically if your life is in danger or you risk being injured. If you walk Kungsleden in september rain and bad weather is just what you can expect, not an emergency. Please remove these cuts from the video.

Man you guys put ALOT of work into these vids. Thanks for sharing!!! I could never fundamentally walk the trail twice with all that backtracking to collect the camera. Big ups.
