Excellent.... I also cut my own fire wood for winter - both at home and the mountain hytte (cabin). Good exercise, and good for the wallet as well.... Now need to make sure the vehicle is ready for another hard Norwegian winter......

Yes - my only car right now, so it's my daily drive. Had to sell my second car when I lost my job - to generate desperately needed cash.......

Hei TeqPal Just want to introduce myself I am a Brit living in Sandnes (Stavanger), Norway. Recently joined OB. Would like to connect with all the Norwegian OB Members. Maybe meet up sometime - Norwegian meet-up? Cheers Neil :)

Hei Vidar Just want to introduce myself I am a Brit living in Sandnes (Stavanger), Norway. Recently joined OB. Would like to connect with all the Norway-based OB Members. Maybe meet up sometime - Norwegian OB meet-up? Cheers Neil :)

Its an interesting question, that we all have to consider. Whenever possible, we offer our fjord-side house (and boat) to members of our family, for use as "holiday home" whilst we are away. This sometimes works out nicely, so that they not only get to stay for free, and we have security of...

Absolutely........ This is how you make friends, share stories and experiences, learn, and have fun. If anyone is planning a trip to SW Norway in the future, you can contact me :)

I have been involved in Conservation Projects for a long time, which commonly includes rubbish collection and removal. Also have my own personal policy of cleaning up campsites, so that they are better / cleaner then when we arrived. I simply hate seeing all the trash "floating around"...

Last thing I bought was a lot of Nikwax Waterproofing products, from an outdoor store in UK (whilst visiting UK), that was in its final days before shut-down and closure. Bought these at discounted price, which is important right now, given my unemployed status !!! The next thing I plan to buy...

Would also be very useful for folks living in the "old world" (Europe / Scandinavia). This would provide a "quick look" solution, which may help all of us with our future planning, and could probably entice us to attend more regional / local events. I look forward to using this tool into the...

Would be very interested to see these Apps. I guess it takes a brave programmer to set about this task, but the end result could be well worth it , and commercially viable, if the price is sufficiently within the "nice price" range (not too expensive...) Interesting times ahead.........

Hei Billie Assume you mean Bergen, which is the city north of where I am located (Sandnes / Stavanger). When are you planning to visit Bergen / Norway? Any particular plans? Cheers Neil :)

Hei Robert Thanks a lot for your reply and suggestion -much appreciated. Maybe I should approach Michael and Corrie on this suggestion. Do you think they would respond positively to this request? I am sure I could do the job - no issues. Just not been in OB for very long - although I am...

Sorry for misunderstanding :) I think this idea is great. I will look into the Scandinavian / European requirements, and post results later.

Thanks in advance for compiling the list of mandatory equipment. Once complete, this list will be an extremely valuable resource.

The original intention of this thread is good. We need to inform each other about future access and land use issues. Justs needs to be located in a more suitable Forum area...

Nice idea :) I would have one..........

This is a good idea.... We all have a "wish list" in our heads, of things we want. Maybe if we openly share this information, we could all benefit.

From the thread above, I can see both sides of the argument. Maybe we should steer clear of this, and focus on everyone sharing experiences openly, without categorizing make / brand. Don't for get there is a DIY thread already Overland Gear > Overland Do It Yourself Projects Here, we can all...

Don't have this issue in Norway - it's never that warm or humid........ Most of us have AC fitted in the car as standard kit, but none of us really use it - except maybe for ca.1 week a year during the height of summer. But compared to your weather conditions, we don't experience the need for...

Living in Norway, we have a lot of snow and ice on the roads during winter period. In the mountains, at times, this can be quite severe, with many inch of ice on the roads, topped by new soft snow. Then driving becomes interesting..... But I think the most uncertain factor for me is river...
