Northern light season is here! During my last hiki Northern light season is here! During my last hiking trip in to Sarek National Park, we got this northern light show one of the nights. As usual, it starts out very slow and calm. Then suddenly it takes off and really goes bananas. 

During this time of the year, before the snow, the ground absorbs all light and makes the surroundings very dark. That’s the best period for northern lights. 

How should you make to see the northern lights?
If you stay in a warm hotel you will not see much. The hotel is too comfortably and the toilets are inside. In a tent or a simple cabin, you have to go out every time you need a toilet. Time outside is what’s important. Time outside during the whole night. It’s also good to sleep under the clear sky without tents/cabins. Then you will see the sky every time when you open your eyes!

Of course, you need clear sky, need to be up in the north like Jokkmokk, come away from light pollution (check maps for this), and there exist telephone apps for northern lights forecast. Which northern light app do you prefer?

When I’m searching for good pictures of Annie, m When I’m searching for good pictures of Annie, most of them are from the canoe. Probably that’s one of few times when she is not moving around all the time. Anyway, she is a great outdoor dog who are really‘streetwise’ or outdoor wise.

I see lots of discussions in social media about how to get the dog used with outdoor life. The answer is simple. Bring the dog with you. Always from day 1! The puppy will be tired, exhausted and sleep well. Sometimes you have to carry the dog or shorter the trip but this makes the puppy calm and easy to work with. 

Maybe we should make a video about this subject? What do you think?

Camping with a roomy hot tent takes outdoor life t Camping with a roomy hot tent takes outdoor life to a totally different level of comfort. If you get condensation it just dry away when you get the fire going. 

We use two different kind of hot tent today. On this picture it’s a Nortent Gamme 6PC. Normally we use this tent during the longer winter tours. We also have one Seek Outside Cimmaron that’s very light and compact that we mostly use during spring and fall. Two totally different tent but both with central heating if you bring a stove.

Imagine that you don’t need to lay down when you change your clothes! Imagine that you can sit down in a kind of chair (this chair is from packraft-sverige.se) while having your coffee. This is a new level of outdoor life!!!
Two days with the canoes was really good. It’s l Two days with the canoes was really good. It’s lots of birds that starts to gathering before they start the migration to the south. It’s a kind of blues feeling when the birds you know since the summer suddenly leaves us up in the north and escape the winter. We will be left behind up in the arctic where we will soon face the winter. 

Going on canoe tours this time of the year is like inhalaiting the last piece of the summer.
