I Found an OASIS in Norway! 100KM Solo Hiking Adventure (Episode 3)
welcome back to my 100 kilometer solo hiking challenge through the borderland between Sweden and Norway The first three days have been anything but easy [Music] This is no joke Bad weather poor fishing It came off Exhaustion and suffering In this episode it's not getting easier This is no acting I came out here with just a limited amount of food So if I want to keep going I need to catch fish Yeah Yes And eat what I can find along the way This mission is more than just distance Come on It's about pushing limits I can do it And finding out what I'm really made of Welcome to Solo Mission Borderland In the last episode I made it to kilometer 44 deep in the highlands of Longfield's nature reserve after a freezing night in my summer sleeping bag I wake up completely destroyed Especially my feet are starting to make some trouble but I have still a long way to go and turning around is no option It's day four of my 100 km solo mission and yesterday was quite tough I made it late in the evening to the top of the mountain Reached my hiking goal but the night was hard I had only summer sleeping bag It was a lot of wind So I woke up every hour and that's why I don't feel that well and energized right now But I'm about to leave the Longfield Nature Reserve now Then it goes for a couple of kilometers through the Kulchure Nature Reserve and then I will finally hike into the Fimsa National Park So the plan is to hit kilome 60 before the evening and camp at the river Ka If I manage that I'm right on track to finish the 101 kilometers within 7 [Music] days After 5 kilometers I reach Kushun From here I turn right into the valley of [Music] [Music] Croadal I eat my portion of oatmeal for today drink some coffee to get my energy back and rest for a moment I just had one portion of oatmeal and that was necessary I was starving And soon I'm going to cross into the Fins Maka National Park leaving Kushin behind Beautiful place And in about 3 4 kilometers I'm going to hit a river And there I want to fish Hopefully catch a big trout That would be nice for dinner And also the weather is way better today So yeah I'm optimistic I make it into famous Maka National Park and another lonely hiker comes my way I hope for better weather But the last days was bad Yesterday Oh yesterday I got so wet I had my backpack uh ready for uh uh a month every day Rain rain rain It was so bad Yeah that's how it goes He's also a fisherman and had entered the national park from another access point this morning His fast pace motivates me to keep up So we hiked together for 3 to 4 km before we split up So far I'm in a good spot It's just 4:00 and I've only 3 kilometers left before I hit the 60 km [Music] [Music] mark I'm starving again I pick some blueberries here and there but it's not enough I need to catch some fish Let's do [Music] it Looks nice here This pool And I'm going to walk a bit downstream now Looks pretty nice There are some rocks in the water [Music] Nope I think this one is gone to be [Music] honest Oh stupid Yes Stupid The sun is gone and it got pretty cold [Music] Wait just reindeer Hi Funny Goodbye It looks so nice here Long cast Let's see Work it around here So strange Looks so good this spot Another spot here Yeah there come a fish after You could probably see it on a GoPro As always it's not easy New spot Looks nice Hot spot No but in case in case I don't get any fish blueberries everywhere It's strange Fishing is completely off today Maybe it's a strong cold wind Who knows can't be that hard to catch a trout here It's going to be blueberries in the end I see it coming Crazy I'm fishing for more than 2 hours now I probably did 200 casts in this river I walked now 5 600 m upstream Nothing And now it's time for plan B before it gets dark I will maybe do some cast later but first plan [Music] [Music] B This really feels like adventure land for grown-ups I'm searching a camp spot now or I know where a good camp spot is I just need to cross the river I saw it earlier during my fishing session on the other side And I need to cross anyway tomorrow a bit further down And I'm always smiling and optimistic but this is really really exhausting What is my device saying am I off track no Ah okay Let's cross the river here O this looks adventurous No it can't be right No way Okay need to get over here Going to hold the microphone Put it in my pocket quickly I'm going to get wet feet anyway No I didn't Okay let's see if this is possible I need to cross the river further down The bridge is completely But now I set the camera camera up there So I need to get back and do this twice even No no no no no I don't know Wow There's a bit too much water here in the river I had some experience last year on a production Uh I went down with the canoe some rapids and that was pretty bad This is not bad but if my backpack gets wet I'm I'm um I think I'm going to try it further down to be honest Safety first Okay now I need to get over here again Hopefully with dry feet Oh yes Okay cut This is the spot He was a bridge Not anymore Let's see how deep it is Yeah like this Yeah no other option right now Just need to get in here The current is strong and I'm not going to do it twice so I didn't put the camera up for this Just the GoPro now But I got through and now I have to cross here as well Ah it goes down there I don't want to slide now And that rock here It's okay Whoa Deeper than expected Whoa that went [Music] downhoo Did it It doesn't look that bad but if you slide here and the whole backpack gets wet I have all my power banks in there and SD cards and stuff so I don't want to risk that And now I have wet feet but it's [Music] okay Quick action now Oh the blisters They look nice I my feet Okay I need my cam slippers now Now I'm really happy that I have those Okay put up the tent here There's almost no rocks I'm just done pitching my tent when dark rain clouds roll in [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm super hungry and can't wait to eat the blueberries Dinner is served Blueberries and chew Two of those chocolate dates I have four left So I'm just going to eat two And at this point some real talk Um you guys probably know how much work effort and energy goes into those videos here Um I'm 18 hours awake and I'm doing stuff 18 hours Um all the filming those landscape shots you walk in one direction and then you walk back So I hike 15 kilometers in the video but it's way more in the end of the day and then all the logistics around it The mornings are the worst Organizing everything properly the charging like like keeping everything running is um I'm you're constantly doing stuff and thinking what could add to the story what shots do I need so basically it's uh yeah it's it's the most exhausting thing I've ever done really And if you guys like this content I would love to see a thumbs up a subscribe to the channel or a comment Um I want to do more of those projects and that would really help I love to do that stuff I love to film it Uh and I love yeah these adventures Um yeah I think that was enough talking I'm going to finish those blueberries and then it's time to sleep Good [Music] night Oh [ __ ] Wait What tired [Music] Before hitting the trail again I pick up the lure I lost yesterday There it is There we go Got it back Nice Yes It's day five now Yesterday was quite tough A long day a lot of hiking no success with the fishing And now I'm following the river Gouta It's somewhere there on the right It's going downstream And later in the day I will hit the highlands again um before I take a turn into the heart of famous Maka National Park So I hope I will catch some fish there Going to probably try it one more time here in this river Um but now I want to hike a bit Just get further Let's do that Took the wrong turn Um it's not too far I think Yeah not even 500 m but still some wasted energy And every meter [Music] counts It's day five out here I've eaten just one fish three portions of oatmeal one emergency meal and about 1 kilo of blueberries On days like this I'm burning around 5,000 calories No fat left My energy reserves are empty And my blisters are starting to become more and more of a problem I was too lazy to take off my shoes And the good thing about these shoes they don't soak in any water It's just leather So there's almost no water in here Just the insoles and the socks I just checked my right foot Wow it doesn't look good at all Blister here blister there Some more blister care some [Music] disinfection This part here is kind of numb right now The shoe is pressing on there on this area It's pissing down And I'm really happy that I bought those waterproof waterproof boots Lifesaver That's what I said on day one But it was a big mistake to bring those shoes on this hike I only used them three times before and hiked around 30 km in them I thought they would be fine for this trip but now I'm paying for it Let's see And this one looks [ __ ] Oh disgusting Compete all day since day one 1 kilometer further I stumble into some traditional Norwegian cabins And it seems like someone is home Angles Oh yeah I love it Yeah very nice place here Beautiful Where are you from germany I was fishing last night and I had no luck No we also fishing get no fish No fish Maybe with the weather changing or bit too much water Yeah Yeah It's a lot of water in the river Yeah The wind from north Yeah They don't like it No Are you walking alone yeah Yeah 100 kilometers Like I started at Kerun and I do a whole round Yeah You started at Kerun Yeah that's probably how you pronounce it Do you want a cup coffee why not why not that would be nice [Music] The couple comes here every summer for two weeks to fish and enjoy the time out in nature And it's interesting what a bit of socializing can do to your mood That's Ryon and Helga And they offered me some coffee also some food but I can't take the food I need to stay hard And they just told me that this cabin is from when was it 1500 about So this cabin there is more than 500 years old That's insane And uh yeah I'm going to finish the coffee skull and then I need to hike again before leaving Kadal I want to give it one last try First the cast here I need some food now I mean I have still the oatmeal and it's lunchtime now but I would love to save it and eat some fish There must be some trout on this stretch Whoa it's deep here What a nice spot Crazy No fish following no bite nothing I'm going to fish there a bit when the current hits this pool here and then I'm going to [Music] leave Let's try this Yes Behind that rock No I'm going to stop fishing now This is a waste of time I had no idea that it will be that hard to catch a fish here I mean this river looks perfect Good size big rocks some slower parts I fished now 400 m and didn't get a single reaction The couple said it earlier they didn't get a fish yesterday Fishing here is totally off So I need to keep walking At kilome 64 I leave the river behind and begin an 8 km stretch through rocky [Music] terrain It's really time for some food This is no acting I'm I'm so exhausted right now I eat my last dates and I'm struggling [Music] But there's hope An oasis hidden in the highlands of Fman's [Music] Mara I eat my portion of oatmeal rest and fuel a bit on the sun This is the most perfect camp spot but there's still some more kilometers to hike and fish to [Music] catch Okay we are back fishing I reached a really nice lake Finally it's 8:00 now and there is some fish rising You see the circles on the surface The question is are they going to bite now fly fishing probably would be the best There was another one there So there's fish but they don't react Maybe a spinner Can't be that hard to catch a fish yet Maybe I need to find a perch lake I'm really struggling these days [Music] catching Okay let's try here a couple of cast Nice There was one jumping but they don't react to the lure I need a fly rod Okay I need a new plan now I think I will switch species Try to get as quick as possible to another [Music] lake It's the most beautiful light now and also the prime fishing time And I'm speed hiking here through the woods It's two and a half kilometers now until I will come to the next lake I hope there's some perch And I hope they're easier to catch than the trout here So beautiful Would love to film some shots now but fish is priority It's almost 9 Come on My shoulders are aching 23 kilos on my back So exhausting and especially with very little food Come on we can do it Half an hour I'm there and then I have maybe 1 hour of fishing [ __ ] Now I lost the trail The blisters on my feet are getting worse and every step now feels like a small punishment This is for sure one of the most intense hours of my life A friend of mine always said "If you think you reached your limit you just at 50% of your capacity." And when I do those things I'm always saying this to myself Come on But I'm soon there I'm in so much pain right now My feet are numb with pain and my shoulders are [ __ ] and everything's [ __ ] [Applause] Yeah the pistas are infected and I hope I hope I will I will last the last two [Music] days There's the lake I made it Okay backpack off now and then start fishing Wow Oh my feet I hope it's deeper there I thought catching fish will be no problem here to be honest 1 hour here 1 hour there Catch one or two fish to eat No it is a pain in the ass Okay Yeah it looks better here Let's give it a try My backpack is there on the other side [Music] Oh my belly Fish on Yes Yes Yes Oh [Music] yes Yeah Very Nice Couple of those Net quickly Net Yes There it is Not a big one but the first fish for today Okay next [Music] cast Yep It's on There's the next one No it came off No they're chasing They're chasing Came behind Yeah Yeah there it is Yes Yes They're not big but good size to eat Yeah there's number two Number two Let's try to get some more Yep there it is Next one And number three Y fish on [Music] instantly Yes there we go Number four Next cast We get hooked it Nice Yes And number five I think soon we got it I can make a proper fish meal now I'm happy I'm happy Yep Fish on Now we got it We a little fatty That's eight perch in there I'm happy I'm really happy now tired in pain but I'm happy [Music] That's not really nice to look at but here there's a crazy blister here A [ __ ] So what did I learn in this episode always keep pushing and never give up It took me four tries to finally catch some fish And don't ever hike in new boots Trust me I'm learning the hard way I feel completely destroyed but I'm confident that I can pull this off After my intense speed hike I hit kilometer 75 and there's still two more days to go The first round of Piril is ready I already had some bites and I want to dig in now So I'm going to end the episode quickly Thank you for watching I hope you liked it Good night What the [ __ ] this is scary Oh it's so cold In the final episode I have to give one last time everything I got The energy is very low at the moment If I make it you will find out Yep Fish in the pain comes and goes in waves Tune in for the final episode of my solo mission borderland If you haven't subscribe to the channel Thank you for watching Goodbye Floven out and Hadabra
