I wanna go camping alone in the norwegian innawoods bros. Just get away from the city life for a week maybe.I dont have a car, what supplies should I get?
>>2811399A car
>>2811399Maybe some sort of automobile, for transport.
>>2811399>norwegianelectric vehicle, black friend, neutrogena hand cream
>>2811399Take the train and just use your feet you fat fuck
What do you have?I do tent, sleep kit, Drytech or Gilde freeze-dried food, bag to carry it in, water and bottles to carry it in, simple cook system like a Jetboil (I use the MSR Windburner), thermos to keep the boiled water in, powerbank in case I need to charge something, and a headlamp.Knife, maybe a folding saw if you're planning to light a fire. Tinder, lighter. Bog roll. Tea/coffee, snacks, cold weather clothes, rain gear.Polarbrød and tubes of bacon cheese, caviar, Nugatti, tins of Svolværpostei.If you're not used to camping out, you could start with a hike to a DNT cabin.It's hard to give you anything more concrete than that without knowing where and when you're going.
>>2811399how far away do you live? would you prefeer to travel by train, plane or both?simplest would be to fly to trondheim airport. travel in your hiking gear and have the backpack ready, you start your hike once you leave the airport. follow the "across norway" trail and you are in bumfuck nowhere the next day or find your own path and you are in kinda desolate areas within a few hours. either continued the trail or fuck around as you wish. bring a small fishing rod for trout.
>>2811399>stick to a known area>let someone know when you’re leaving and when you’re coming back>look up the ten essentials but don’t be a sperg about itThere’s really not much to it.
>>2811865>Across NorwayI did that hike last year together with a friend and my dog as a first multi-day hike, and made a bunch of blunders.For one, I did not read the instructions, and packed a tent, sleeping bag, food, cook system, all in a big 85-litre bag. For what we had planned, a 30-40 litre pack for each would have sufficed, and a lot of bulky heavy gear better left at home.Should have brought more trail mix and some powdered sports drink mix, less oats and freeze-dried food. And energy gel packs and socks for the dog.Another blunder I made was that I didn't bring enough socks for myself, nor spare insoles for my boots, so I didn't dry up properly between getting wet. Nor did I bring gaiters, to avoid getting wet in the first place. Feet were absolutely shot after the first day lol. Didn't bring blister bandages either.Definitely worth splitting the hike up and seeing Hegra fortress and then either taking the night at Øfstivollen (if you're using cabins) or camping out somewhere in the area (if you're tenting). We didn't. That was tough.The path, all the way up to Prestøyhytta, can be a bit hard, with wetland and mud. Once you get up on the fell, it's much better.Little streams everywhere, never really hurt for water. I carried the water in three one-litre Nalgenes.Cabins were great, you could light a fire for warmth and to dry up, charge your gizmos, and buy the freeze-dried/canned food you needed there with an honesty system (there's an app for that!) and cook it on a gas stove, and the three staffed cabins also had showers and served dinner, and you could get a nice cold beer. Nedalshytta even had a sauna! The people I met on the trail and at the cabins were nice and down-to-earth.The trail was also well marked with red Ts and red-painted rocks. Not excessively so, but you never really had to stop and navigate.Great trip, probably enjoy it more if you actually plan for it.
>>2811399a can of oxygen
>>2811399Maybe a car, you fucking numpty.
>>2811933im from the area and right now at my cabin just a few km away from your pic related. i appreciate such trails and the cabin network to get people outside but i always get the impression that people rush them a bit and dont soak up nature and the joy of being outside. once you get to that cabin you can instead start to wildcamp around, fish, hike some peaks, find old mines etc instead of rushing to the next cabin, and the next...
>>2812042Oh nice, it seems like a fine place to have a cabin. Not too crowded, I hope? I think you're on to something about taking the time to enjoy the scenery, it would have been good to spend some more time in the area. The pace we set for the Across Norway hike was a great deal faster than I initially was comfortable with, and I could easily have taken another day in the Kvitfjell area after that harsh first day. Do you have any good tips for the area? This year I'm hoping to do Romsdalstien with some friends, but since I'm driving down from Nordland I could easily stop by on the way home and get a few days in the area. Some women I met in the trail said they walked up from a parking spot a few kilometres out of Sona, which seems a great deal more appealing than going from Hegra. I'd also like to visit Røros and see what it's like there. I've lived near the coast all my life, so mountain massives, fell and inland nature is really novel for me.
>>2812051for sona søk opp sildra, det er navnet på parkeringen der. eller så søker du opp børdalen eller vekta, det er et annet alternativ for adkomst med bil. på inatur.no er det en leiehytte ved gråvatna ikke langt fra kvitfjellhytta.
>>2812123Thanks for the tip bro, I hope to check back with a trip report after summer ends.
>>2811399A car. Rent one.
>>2812496hikes like the one mentioned above here doesnt require a car. you literally start at the airport/train station/bus hub, then a week later you catch a bus back to where you started. shure hiking is simpler with a car but its absolutely not required in norway. there are even places you cant get to by car only train, like the filming location of the snow planet hoth in star wars. only acceible by train and its a popular hiking and skiing hub.renting a car is even dumber you use it to drive to a trailhead, then pay rent for it while you hike for a week, then you end up somewhere else and now have to return back to pick up the car.
>>2812577I don't really much care for public transport (consequence of rural living with poor, or no public transport options), but I'm impressed with how easy it's gotten now. Last I regularly used public transport was in the mid-late 00's, and that was so for shit that I didn't step foot on a bus other than shuttle busses up until last year. Entur.no for planning, pay online, tickets per e-mail or in an app, and Bob's your uncle. No need to puzzle out which company operates in which part of the country, or trying to make sense of outdated diagrams or timetables through scratched plexiglass in a ratty windblown bus shed that's no longer serviced by the bus route, no need for coins or a grumpy bus driver struggling to break a large bill and complaining about how you don't have the regional travel pass. I imagine they even have card readers on busses now.
>>2812042Yeah, I never understood that shit.People rush to some small mountain top to log it in their app of choice, or to post it on social media.Few take the time to just enjoy the nature around them, or exploring the small trails and animal tracks that go everywhere.To me, going /out/ is about relaxing and taking a break from the daily grind, making /out/ a grind for social media points or some achievement in an app completely defeats the purpose.
>>2812657i just bought a house close to "græslihytta" its a bit off the trail network but accessible by bus and such serve as an access point, i see hikers getting of the bus here all summer. and i regulary fish at the end point of "across norway" in falksjøen and sylsjøen, great flyfishing for charr there. there i also see hikers waiting for a taxi back to the road where they can catch a bus.pic related falksjøen just downstream of sylsjøen, right above the end of across norway trail
>>2812729Thought you southfags only had grayling, whitefish and pike in your lakes and rivers.You have arctic char down there as well?I fucking love char, my favorite fish by far, so much better than salmon or trout.
>>2812731>63 north>southfagdude.... its mostly trout and charr here, some pike in lowland lakes. google nesjøen, its regardes as the worlds best charr lake.
>>2811399How about a cheap car?
>>2812729The area really looked spectacular, cool that there's good fishing to be had there too.I never got into fishing with a rod, or any kind of inland fishing for that matter. Mostly because I grew up in a fishing village in a fishing family, and the interest in fish was therefore mostly commercial, type "fish live in the ocean, you go out there to catch them and sell them".From a young age we'd go out in boats on the ocean to joyride and fish. I bought my first boat with money I earned from cutting cod tongues at age 12. Boat, borrowed crab traps, net to catch turbot, and a harp I mostly caught mackerel and saithe with. These days, I only really find time for the crab and lobster fishing.Rod fishing gear in general, and perhaps fly fishing gear in particular, strikes me as very daunting to get into. Is it? Do you need to buy fishing licenses to fish there?Sorry for not posting more pictures, I don't have many pictures without identifying features or people in them.
