Alone in a Remote Cabin in Northern Sweden (No Road Access)

When I found out that there's a remote cabin near to where I'd been staying in the Arctic Circle, I couldn't resist a hike there. Several hours through the frozen wild lands of northern Sweden, I finally got there, and what I found really surprised me.

Is this the kind of mini-adventure you'd want to go on? 😍

[YouveBeenMiddled]

*ProTip:* if you're in a remote cabin with a woodstove, before you leave empty the ash and prepare a new fire lay for the next guest. You never know how dire their need for warmth will be.

Eva, this is one of my favorite videos ever that you've made. I can't really explain why. Your physical and mental fortitude to push on, Vilk being the best boy, the peace of being there alone yet wanting to share it with someone, your choice of music, the amazing footage you capture. There's just too many reasons. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[DaveShap]

Vilk just keeps digging deeper like "MOM IS THIS HELPING???"

[flibbertygibbette]

I can't imagine you'll see this comment, but I just want to appreciate for a moment not only your courage and tenacity, which is hugely inspiring to me as someone wanting to get back into adventure, but your visual storytelling skill. The drone shots, all the camera setups in the cabin, I don't think most folks realize how much thought and work that takes, which is completely invisible when it's done well unless you're actively looking for it. You're a master of your craft, and I'm so glad you do what you do. I'm here for it.

I saw that bed when you saw the woodstove and thought you would have moved it. Nothing within 3 feet of a woodstove. You are definitely lucky.

[JimAllen-Persona]

Anyone else love how Vilk is the perfect example of the first law of holes: “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging”? Love that dog.

[suspicious_white_van]

My dog, Henry, lost a sock on a hike. Several month later we were doing the same hike and he comes running back to me with his lost sock 😊

[robert_unterdeck]

first thing I was recognizing when filming the bedroom.... "the fold out bed must be pulled away from the oven" 😄

[GirdHerd]

Eva, I saw that bed there when you said you were going to start a fire in the bedroom. I just figured you would move the bed away from the stove. So glad you caught it when you did.

[cyclepowered]

The bed too close to the fireplace was the first thing I noticed when Eva showed the bedroom. So lucky it was not caught on fire!!

[MrOhavlik]

OMG Eva, I just saw your program on the BBC about Slovenia! It's so awesome that you got such a project from such a prestigious TV!! Congratulations!! And good luck with your future travels, adventures, and life journeys, you are so inspiring!! ;-)

[LomanB]

Well done you. Great training exercise. Your boy is so cute, so clever! Glad your fire episode was not a disaster. Mesmerised by the additional effort you just invested to do all the filing you so, as well as the challenge you’re undertaking. All the best.

[TheDonMateo]

Looks fun. Definitely good to have other people around from time to time. I love your videos.

[davidwollpert]

What a beautiful video!!! And funny too! With the sled tipping, Vilk and his holes and ambushes, leaving your poles then Vilk leaving his sock. You two are a colorful pair! But what a place you were in! Amazing serenity, and the oxygen rich cold air! Perfect!

[sucieanila]

Ohh, as always, I am fascinated by how brave and adventurous you are. More than anything else, i love the way you narrate it...sharing the depth of your thoughts and feelings. I feel like travelling with you, too! Thank you for sharing the love of life no matter how challenging it is. You are such an inspiration.❤

[annduffy]

Ambush by Vilk! Classic! Love his booties, important in summer as well to protect those pads, as many pet owners have learned climbing our Rocky Mountains! He really is a fantastic dog, well trained!

[livebravely]

Eva u are a very brave woman. Kudos to you. Keep following your heart.

[theicangram]

What an incredible journey you are taking us on!! Be safe and strong on girl! Love it! And Vilk!

[kevingarman]

Wow, I’m so proud of the effort you gave to make this trip! Thankful nothing more serious came from your “hot bed” experience. That will serve to make you more aware on the rest of this journey.
Now the truth… I’m so jealous and wish I could have experienced the hike and especially the cabin. I think I would just like to stay right there and see what the seasons bring.
Thank you for taking all of us along with you; can’t wait to see the next leg of this journey.
