Summer in Lapland

June 27, 2022

The forests are once again alive with birdsong, as warmth and life return to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Here are three Lapland Summer staples!

#getoutside

1.Celebrate the festival of Midsommar

Summer in Lapland is a short season, but it is always vibrant. After a long, dark, winter, Swedes have learnt to enjoy summer to its fullest.

And there is no more a joyful celebration of summer than Midsommar in Sweden!

2.Walk the Kungsleden

The Kungsleden, or "King's Trail" is the longest and most famous hiking trail in Sweden. You can walk small sections - or the whole length!

The scenery is simply stunning and you enjoy views of the highest mountains in Sweden.

3.Roam the forests

One of the special things about living in Sweden is the right of every person to have free and unhindered access to nature.

A Lapland summer would not be the same without Allemansrätten, or the Right to Roam. The freedom to swim in the many lakes, wild camp, make a fire if the conditions allow, pick wild flowers, berries and mushrooms - these are all rights enshrined in the Constitution of the land.

Unusual blade

Much more versatile than a standard hatchet.
Good steel - holds a good edge.
Fast despatch by Casstrom but shame about Parcelfarce.

Useful accessory

I already have one of these danglers for my RM bushcraft knife, but I wanted to modify the leather sheath for my Fallkniven A1 Pro to make it quick release. I removed the old belt attachment and rivet, fitted the dangler attachment and replaced the sheath rivet with a Chicago screw. It makes the whole thing much more user friendly, I don’t know why Fallkniven don’t fit these as standard.

Absolute quality leather work thanks guys.

Lovely smell and sticky

I got this for dry skin and itchy skin, it works a treat, has made a world of difference to my skin. I love the pine tar smell. Lovely to use or cuts, grazes, sore rough hands

Good for skin conditions and cuts/grazes

I thought I would try this for a natural salva for my hands and skin, I get cut hands through work and sore patches, spots on my forearms which just don’t heal for months. Look unsightly and itch, I tried this and covered the area with salve, within a few days the skin red patches and soreness started to lessen and now after a couple of weeks they are nearly gone, my skin/arm doesn’t itch all the time and the skin is going back to normal. Before it would take months and have a patch of raised red skin scars tissue.
I also used it in a bad cut with a bahco Laplander saw, on my finger, I was distracted for a moment. Anyway, the salva filled the cut gap and stopped any infection and pain, that was 2 weeks ago, it is a lot better, healthier and cleaner now. It’s made a world of difference to my skin and cuts/grazes.
