In this video, Andy (Kent Survival) and I begin our seven day canoe trip in the wilderness of Sweden and Norway.

We set off from Käringsjön in the Rogen Naturreservat in Sweden and head into the labyrinth of small lakes that makes up the northern part of this region, taking with us everything we need for the next week.

Our journey takes us from lake to lake, carrying our boats and gear overland as we explore this stunning natural wilderness area.

Finally we stop at a suitable camp spot next to one of the larger lakes and set up our camp for the night. A well earned dinner of steak and potatoes, washed down with a couple of very good Norwegian beers, enjoyed to the soundtrack of Loons calling in the distance and we are ready for for our hammocks - a good rest before tomorrows adventure into the unknown.

What a deliciously immersive first day.

Thank you Peter for all you have done to bring this expedition together, without you, this simply could not have happened!

I hope you enjoy the video,

Thanks for watching.
