So which is better? Sweden or Norway? As always, if you are actually FROM one of these two amazing countries, I want to hear from you. Thanks to my good friend Dan for looking over this script. Many of his ancestors came over from Norway to moved the Midwest in the 1800s.

Correction: 10:20 Even if it _IS_ private property.

You can go wherever you want, even on private property, except you need to keep off cultivated land and you need to keep a certain distance from houses, especially when pitching a tent for the night.

I'm Swedish so I am obligated to say Sweden is best. But the friendship between Norway and the other Nordic countries will last forever. I love all 5 countries.

I’m Norwegian so I am obligated to say that Norway is the best. But the friendship between Norway and the Nordic countries will last forever. I love all 5 countries. 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Born in Sweden and went fishing for salmon every summer in Norway.A absolute beautiful stunning country. The wilderness is amazing and people so nice . ❤

I visited Norway in 1990 when I was in college. It's a beautiful country. I took a train from Oslo to Bergen, and that train ride is one I will never forget. It has to be one of the most scenic train routes in the world.

As a Swede i love my Norwegian brothers and sisters ❤️

[heidiaamodt]

In Norway we call the swedish for "søta bror", this is swedish and means "sweet brother". Love from Norway ❤

I am from Denmark - born and bred (?) -- and it is impossible to prefer one country over the other. Both Norway and Sweden - in own its way - breathtakenly beautiful - and its peoples respectavily same ways. You simply if possible have to experience for yourself - you will not be dissapointed - that is a promise!

Sweden and Norway are some of my favorite countries and the world probably should be inspired and learn from these two countries

Im a half swede half norwegian who lives in sweden and I like both countries so much, like siblings we often fight and joke with each other, but it is all out of love <3

Been in both countries as a tourist and found same high quality of life, feeling safe equal safety (a bit more in Norway honestly), both "expensive " for a person from the Southern Europe, but so clean, well organized and with an excellent transportation system. Since very hot Summers are my Achille's Heel, l enjoyed the weather so much too. The only difference l found was between people who live in the Capitals, Oslo and Stockholm. In my experience, l found the Norwegians more friendly and helpful (just in the Capital, no differences between people from the villages, all super lovely).Greetings from Italy 🤗.

Yes if only much of the world took the example of these two on how to manage their countries and care for their people. From an admiring Irishman 😘

Tiny correction: Scandinavia is comprised of three countries, Denmark is included with Norway and Sweden. The Nordic countries add Iceland and Finland.

[MrNobody-zinw]

🇸🇪Swede🇸🇪 here.
Honestly you sort of nailed this one. Loved the information as well as the similarities and differences.
Bra jobbat!
*(Fun fact: Sweden has the most islands in the world)*

Btw, this year is election year in Sweden, and the first one I will be able to vote in, so I am grateful that you offer a lot of political videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[ronque]

When I think of Nordic people, they always seem so nice and open to meeting new people and sharing cultures. I look forward to visiting someday and seeing those beautiful fjords!

[LucasBenderChannel]

The fact that Norway and Sweden are constantly topping almost any positive ranking of all countries in the world... that does make me a little jealous. ;) Good role models in many aspects.

Thank you for the video, Mr Beat!

[franklinclinton]

Alright now you owe me a "Finland and Estonia compared" video.

[monkri]

Im Norwegian but I love Sweden too ♥ Best of two worlds
