On this day

Walborg evening on the lake

2023

Took us a nice sunset paddle on Västersjön. Really nice. A couple of plus degrees. The wind stopped completely just before we launched. Godly. Long time since we paddled on the lake.

Valborg on Rönneå

2022

Kayaking several times a month that we used to do in previous years doesn't seem to be our thing anymore 😉 At least today we took a paddle trip on Rönneå, it was pretty much exactly a month since we last paddled 😉 Really good weather with sun and shade on the river. One…

Sleep outside - under the open sky

2022

It's really cozy to sleep outside, mostly in tents, now and then in wind protection and sometimes under the open sky. Tents are superb, provide good protection and shelter. Wind protection as well as there is usually a possibility of fire and also perfect for a smaller group, easy to hang some kerosene lanterns and other things for coziness. To sleep…

Trysil April 2018

2018

Sun and tailwind last week in Trysil. As usual, it feels a little brave to pack the skis among the snowdrops and spring at home. Then super good to get to the snow again. Dry summer road conditions all the way up but nice with snow on the side of the road when we got up to the cabin. Was a good week with a few extra days. The whole mountain open…

Insect hotel

2015

Of course the insects will have their own arranged accommodation 🙂 A few pallets, some stones, sticks, bamboo tubes, grass, reeds, pots, bark and more, we hope to attract lots of funny insects to settle on the plot! The metropolis of Knäckebröhult has got its own hotel with room for many residents. Soon we will catch up with the suburbs 😉 Pollinators of various kinds need more…

Sunny April weekend in Fjällbacka

2014

We went on a short weekend in the Fjällbacka archipelago. Drove directly from Fair Enough to Fjällbacka, parked at the bridge, thought a few cars would be there but there was only one there. Packed a little smartly and paddled out in the last light. Nice with illuminated Fjällbacka with its impressive church. Landed in the dark in…

New Swedish paddle magazine in the works?

2013

There are rumors in the forest that there is a new Swedish paddle magazine in the works. The first issue shouldn't be too far away. Cool! Since Paddling was shut down, there is no pure paddling magazine anymore. It will be interesting to see what happens. Always fun to read about a bit of paddling, but you…

Gullvivor & Amundö

2012

Now it's full speed at Gullvivorna.

Vegetables as little as possible

2010

Now it's starting to green up in the forest. Wow, how nice it is. The birches are almost in full swing and the books (books) are starting little by little. Fantastically nice! and just as much fun every year that you almost forget how green it was last year 😉 And the white-sippe carpets spread out delicately under the beech trees.

Johan Wirsén & Helen Wilson tour with Tahe

2010

Helen Wilson from the USA is a Greenlandic roller of rank who won several titles during the championships in Greenland. Now she comes to Sweden and tours with the kayak designer & kayak builder Johan Wirsén around Sweden.
