This is how we in Sweden managed to travel through our vast terrain for many years. By wooden skis and pulk. Then came the snowmobil. But now the pulk is coming back by people who want to enjoy the superior calmness of nature. As there are so many bad plastic pulks I wanted to build the traditional Swedish pulk made by wood. Here is were I later on met Dan who is the only man still crafting the original pulk from 1929 at segebadenpulkan.se . I was so lucky to be trusted into his small workshop and learn how the old Segebaden pulks were and are still made by him. And then to actually be able to make my very own real Segebaden pulk! This is something I am genuinely passionate about. So I helped Dan start a course were you or a group can come and do the exact same build as I did, a truly unique experience. Here it is: segebadenpulkan.se/sv/sidor/bygg-din-egen-pulka.html There are so many traditional crafts here in Sweden that I want to visit and show here on youtube. But this channel is more about my own journey with the log cabin and my life-style, which is great but I wanted to start a channel more open for any kind of content. So I started the channel "Grankvist Outdoors" ukposts.info/the/almTzMnggI7QR0p421W-xA.html . There you can see how I built my Segebaden pulk. There will be smaller projects and future uncut versions of my final films on this channel. The wooden skis I am using are from the Swedish company: www.tegsnasskidan.se The ultra-light tent and stove that only weigh 2,5kg! are from the Swedish company: packraft-sverige.se They have a code for 15% off: grankvist2022 The winter clothes I am wearing are from the Swedish company: www.revolutionrace.se Special thanks again to Dan for keeping the traditions of Sweden alive.

I love how there's no music and no talking. I can't believe something this pure exists on UKposts. ❤

Erik you are a young man with plenty of ol traditional working talent…..well done! Keep up the good work and stay safe n warm!

At least I know when the world ends that Erik will still be thriving and surviving in the Swedish wilderness! Also your dog is beautiful and such a good companion!

Looking forward to living in my dream house! Thank you, Ryan's, for not only the initial support with your special but ongoing support through my build! ukposts.infoUgkxe81Bz076USDt6sYU1rDcNa2LwCIKADgB Experience has been amazing so far! Made the process easy.

the ending when you jump in the river and your dog follows is the stuff of dreams. amazing

The thing that I love the most is your commitment to capture the footage of all of the journey, the effort you go to, to set the camera in position then load back up all gear and move past the camera. Truly impressive!

That dog is the happiest dog in history,he is living his dream

Спасибо за познавательное и прекрасное видео... В наш сумашедший век .Это как бальзам для души .Успехов Вам ..И собачка у Вас супер... Удачи Вам и сил...

Nice fish! Chilly hike. Like that you cuddle with your dog to keep warm. 🙂

True storytelling!!your silence is better than thousand words. In a world where young people like you are so worried about the next smartphone model or who is buying Twitter, you are a symbol of hope for future generations. Please keep posting your inspiring stories !!

BORN TO BE WILD...BORN TO BE FREE....awesome place and amazing dog....all is simply perfect....this is life.....Congratz Erik totally proud of you

This young man never ceases to both inspire me, and make me feel inadequate. At 52, I'm still young enough. I am pretty busy outdoors by today's standards and consider myself pretty tough and capable by today's standards. But this remarkable kid makes us all look like chumps. I'm proud of your dad and grandad, Erik. They taught you so much more than skills.

Very atmospheric video, greetings from Russia Siberia.

I love how he always lets his dog sit on the fur pelt instead of the cold snow 😊

You are amazing person, a great craftsman! I’m a 68 years old woman, 40+years of professional potter. I admire your endurance, your strength. I know what it’s take to do what you are doing. Just keep going this way!

How wonderful you are using all of the old and traditional ways of living off of the land like your elders did in the past. What a great job you have done and continue to do. So many young people are so spoiled today, but you are living proof there is hope for the future. Keep up the good work!

I have watched the video that you were building a house alone and really enjoyed it! no words, no sounds, just a man building an awesome thing.

Watching your videos from the Philippines. The first time I saw your 2 hours video of making your log cabin, I was hooked. I'm amazed at your endurance, strength and dedication to your work. Now waiting for your next video. Respect here. Keep it up sir!

It's so important to keep traditions alive. I appreciate your love for your people and their old ways. You are the 1% that will keep these things alive.

The last few seconds with you and your dog in the river are so...beautiful !

One man and his dog and a huge garden,you’re an inspiration Erik and a very clever young man,love the vlogs. Thank you❤

In the day and time we are living in it so good to see a young man as yourself be so passionate about learning the old ways. You are definitely one that will survive in the dark days ahead of us.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos ...

Wow Erik! Great use of camera and sound. Thanks for producing such a masterpiece. p.s. you and your dog are perfect together! ❤

Great video! I think that your story telling has really improved overtime, and so has your sound design! The making of the pulka really sounds like it came straight from a ghibli movie, it's just so warm. Keep it up!

Absolutely Loved this Video! Your Ancestors would be so proud of you! It isn't just anyone that can live out in that Wilderness! Liked your Dog!! This one of the best Videos I have seen!! Thank You!!

Every morning when I wake up, I watch your videos of life in nature. Then it's better for me to start the day. Thanks for the great videos and looking forward to the next one.

You are amazing. I look forward to every new post. Your survival skills and precision craftmanship are inspiring. The cinematography and editing are on par with Hollywood professionals. Thank you for sharing! The landscape is beautiful. 😎

This is so awesome, and your dog picking up that item that was left behind when you set out from your cabin made me smile.

The clouds rolling in over the mountain was so gorgeous.

You are a man among men. Cheers and thanks for the great video Erik!

Erik, vilken läxa du lär alla oss som lever i denna moderna värld. Tack från djupet av mitt hjärta för att du gav oss lite syre till var och en av dina videor. Ta hand om dig själv

In this magnificent video, Erik Grankvist shows us that it is certainly possible to live in, with and on nature. Thank you for allowing us to go on an excursion in a wonderful nature in magnificent winter clothes.

Очень интересно, как работает профессиональный столяр-плотник! Оборудование, технологии и многие другие вещи! Благодарю! Здоровья и удачи, Эрик!

Hey buddy, I really enjoy watching your videos here in South West Florida, USA. Thank you for all your work and editing skills, and may you continue in good health and peace !! 👏👏👏👏👏

Nice to see you again

This video is fascinating in so many ways Just the unique videographins, with sound, construction of the pulk and the beautiful pristine nature This should win an award. Great work. So good to watch. Thanks Erik for taking the extra time to make a great video.

Ron Swanson has a photo of Erik on his mantlepiece as daily inspiration.

I really do enjoy all of your journey from day 1. Here in America, see folks slowly trying to go back to the old ways of doing things canning, storing things for the future, gardens full of fresh vegetables, etc... I do admire your life and what things you do on a daily basis that most folks would be too spoiled to try. I love your traditions and the way that you live. I look forward to more of your videos. I subscribed to your outdoor channel today.

Now that's a true outdoorsman!!! Not only does he understand the equipment="[(HE BUILT IT)]"!!!!! Definitely my kind of man 🌨️🐻‍❄️❄️☺️😏🤠🥰!!!!!

It's easy to forget how much effort Erik puts in to all these distant shots, all for a nicer looking video!

You're living the life, Erik. Also: beautiful detail on the sleigh you built!

Yep, that is the best plan when not wanting to pack an electric blanket, pup powered heat! Your buddy follows your example on the trail, a real go-getter. I think think you said once, but I can't recall, is she a Weimaraner? That's a really haunting sound on the lake. Did it continue all night? That cedar smoked fish looked delicious. I can now say that Spring is here when Erik's haircut happens.

Erik, thanks for another great video. I always look forward to seeing you and @Nik Rijavec post your content! Keep them coming and thanks for sharing!

Erik awesome content as usual! Your country is beautiful all year round. Love your dog. A great camping companion!👍👍👍 Wish I could give two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!

Watching you climb into that ice-cold water sends shivers down my spine, and I'm sitting in California sunshine! Thank you for sharing everything that you do with us.

Свинцовое настроение.. А вот аутентичные сани - это прям круто

That sled you made is amazing and the craftsmanship must be a family business

That is hardcore outdoors, even more so alone. There’s no fking around in those conditions or certain death will come knocking. A rigorous journey, worthy of being called an expedition!! 💪💪🤜

i have a short attention span that often makes me struggle to sit through videos, but yours are a pretty great exception weirdly enough. maybe the fast pace of the urban world has ruined me a tad, and this is a way to get that piece of myself back occasionally. thanks for your work, erik :)

WoW what a beautiful country. Love the over head views. That dog is beautiful and great company. This is the kind of life I long for. wish i was there with you ,nothing better than meal in the open air. Keep those videos coming mat, I love you, be careful and be safe. Hugs till the next one.

The world ain't ending anytime soon and Erik will have a very long, healthy, and fruitfull life thriving in the Swedish "outback" while keeping Swedish traditions and expert craftsmanship alive. Bravo, Erik!! Already SUBSCRIBED to your new channel.

When the puppy grabs the toy and follows - such joy!

I live in Phoenix, Arizona 🇺🇸 . It was 113° Fahrenheit her today. I will take that over freezing weather anytime! I left the cold climate 58 years ago as a child and left it behind for good! You amaze me at your age with all of the many skills & talents that you possess! I have been following your adventures for quite awhile now. "Tills Nāsta Gång Min Vān..." 👍👍👍 🌵 🏜️ 🌵🏜️ 🤠

Такой мололодой парень и уже может делать всё, золотые руки у вас молодой человек, здоровья желаю и конечно такую же хозяйственую жену тибе,счастья тибе сынок. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍Привет из Германии. От русского народа.

Beautiful landscapes and a great man!Greetings from Italy from a Hungarian :-)

It's wonderful to see your beautiful northern part of the world where it never gets completely dark for some periods, and to see you ice-fishing on a frozen lake. There is nothing quite like a dog for company and mutual warmth in the great outdoors too. That smoked trout looks delicious.

love to see the otters, i think its safe to say many of us will be envious of your wild living, may it continue for many years to come - i see your bonding with with the GSP is coming on - great to see the dog happy to keep you warm at night, mine does the same, his ears are just so cosy, he sleeps so well knowing how safe he is with me, buddies for ever

He's all alone and manages to shoot so great. Leave the camera, walk the whole mountain and come back for it again

That dog is living its best life.

Tack Erik för en väldigt fin & mycket rogivande video ! Pulkan blev väldigt fin , fint med naturmaterial 😊👍🏻☀️ ska kolla upp kamin & tält 🏕 önskar dig & din hund allt gott !!!

I’ve been watching tour videos for over 2 years now, I used to throw it on in the background while doing homework or studying and found it so soothing. Now I revisit from time to time just for a little wilderness escape, thanks for everything Erik

I look back on my visits to N Sweden with great nostalgia. From Umeå to Hemavahn and all points between. But never on journeys such as you have just had. Epic. The storytelling reveals the landscape and its sparsity of human impact and the homecoming to smoke the fish was wonderful. We felt your sense of belonging in that cabin. But the floating downriver and the initial chill you can keep ;)

Absolutely love your videos....keep making them! You are so talented in so many ways!

Apesar de ser jovem você tem bastante talento com trabalhos manuais e a utilização de ferramentas e métodos que infelizmente estão sendo esquecidos. Parabéns!!! Ansiosa pelos próximos vídeos.

Dude! I have no idea how you get some of your shots. They're truly gorgeous!! The last one over the water showing you floating down stream was epic. For real. You're quite skilled at so much to include cinematography:). Cheers!

Greetings from Australia! I have just come across your channel and I have to say, I am absolutely blown away with your dedication and skill! There are very few people in this world who have done what you have, especially at such a young age, it‘s very inspiring! I am 33 and haven’t accomplished close to anything like I’ve seen on your channel, well done man! You should be extremely pretty oud of yourself, your videos are amazing too! Seriously impressed P.S can you please come and build me a house 😂 Keep up the awesome work

Don't you just love melting the snow the first couple days on the floor in a tent oh the moisture feels so good it gets everything so humid..... You know I absolutely love your shows thank you so much.....

You have several good talents in making any tools with hand! I really enjoyed this video and scene of Sweden! Thanks a lot!

Man the ending of this video could be straight from a movie

I loved the last part, your dog swimming with you, so cute! I really enjoy watching your blogs!

Красивая природа! 🥰😍👍 жаль что на этом видео не показали внутри избушки или бревенчатого дома хотела увидеть какие ещё изменения. Такой хороший улов у него получился не зря ходил! 👍

You are truly a craftsman and starting so young .Fantastic dedication and self motivation. I wish other younger people would look at this and realise this is how we are meant to live .Excellent 👍🌟

Estoy taaaaaan impresionada...Y yo no tengo habilidades ni para hacer una casita para un perro...Se pasó Erik...Lo máximo.

Lost for words as always… amazing and inspiring keep the videos coming so that I can live my adulthood through you 🧐

Väldigt inspirerande, starkt att dra ut så där med endast kompass och karta i -30, och vilken vacker fisk!

Loved that Video , escapism from all the turmoil in the world today. Said it before and I will say it again. Love your Dog. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Happy dog, happy boss and beautiful nature! What more do you ever want...

When i watch through these videos i always think about how in every shot where he's traveling somewhere or getting out of the tent for the first time each day Every time we see it, he have already done it at least once before. First time he needs to actually set up the camera and then after the moment is taken, have to retrieve the camera.

This channel is still an absolute gem

Welcome back Erik 👍👍👍

You built such a beautiful, strong and functional sledge. I love watching your videos on my commute to work across London UK. They transport me to a peaceful place whilst living in a busy city. Thank you.

For some reason youtube is not recommending your videos but every 2 month I am thinking about the videos and watch everything i missed

I really do look forward to you videos. Each one is a UKposts masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Cool video Erik, I get just as happy every time I see that you have posted / Stephan Sweden

Восхитительный мужчина. Работящий, бодрый, славный. Если и дальше будет в одиночку жить, может быть разное. Поэтому я желаю тебе удачи в трудоднях😁🦋

Great to see. Hartwarming how you swedish share your own build knowledge about sleds. Dogsuits. Everything. Love.💝🕯🙏

Erik sempre com coisas boas.

I like how you keep the Swedish woodworking and craftsmanship going . What great survival skills you have. Really enjoy your Videos. Gives me peace ✌️ in a crazy world . Keep up the amazing work .

What you do is remarkable and it is great to have Barr part of your journey.

Your videos are out of this world and with your drone shots, you accomplish so much. Thanks, take care and stay safe!
