Hi Folks and welcome back, I have been asked a lot about the gear I took with me on the Sweden/Norway wilderness canoe trip, so this video is all about my gear choices - what worked, what didn’t, what I’d change next time and my general thoughts about the trip as a whole.

I have put some links to some of the gear below - I couldn’t include everything as there is a character limit in the description box, but hopefully they’ll steer you towards some items that I’ve been asked about.

I hope you enjoy the video,

Thanks for watching.
