same here, Swedish is a little different but I think they pronounce the G the same

thanks for that, much appreciated, i'll let you know how I get on!

I'm on the lookout for two really(45L and 100L ca), not too bothered about brand as long as it is quality, there is choice here but you are talking alot of money, Norwegians tend to buy quality so there is alot of Bergens and Norrøna gear here which is ridiculously priced! I have to fit shopping...

Turku, 2 planes and a ferry from here. My 'mother-in-law' was born there but moved to Norway when she was 6 so she has a connection with the place. I'm hoping to get my hands on a quality rucksack while i'm there, Turku (although we tend to say Åbo) is alot bigger than Tromsø....

Same here in Norway, go where you like and when, I read on here about having a knife on your person and all the new laws in England but here its quite natural to see people with a knife, I love it! My missus is from Finnmark where there is only ca 56000 people but its not far off the size of...

From Swords, living in Norway, little more to explore this end!

Not too sure about Palin but it wouldn't surprise me, it has all the trappings of a biggish town but nature is a stones throw (a bridge actually) away, mix that with Norwegian querkiness and its very charming! BTW its top ø the morning up here ;)

Been a member 5 minutes and i'm already double posting....

Living here full time in a place called Tromsø, Paris of the north! Yes, this is the place to play outdoors, surrounded by mountains where we are, the views are fantastic and we get the northern lights later in the year, that needs to be seen to be believed. The beer price is letdown I must...

"Lost" one of my SAKs recently too. Had it for about 15 years, been to many countries and through many customs except the last time.... I was travelling to England via Oslo airport and they pulled me on the length of the blade, it was never a problem before but they gave me two options, throw it...

Nice to know there is something cheaper here in Norway compared to England, everything is expensive here but I have seen Reindeer hides go for as little as 200kr, ca 20 pound but the most expensive are still only 55. I know this doesn't help the thread starter but I was a little shocked at the...

Hello from one of the 10 Irishmen in Norway! Never into bushcraft when I was back home or when I lived in England but since moving here I have caught the bug, Norway does that to you. I'm relatively new to bushcraft so will probably lurk mainly but look forward to learning alot! Jim
