Happy September Beautiful souls. Although for me was August when I set off on this adventure. Welcome to Swedish Kungsleden trail.
This is my longest hike so far and what appears to you as couple hours video was for me 22 days. So in order to not make this joureny borning for u I will tell you story.
Text of story is made from several books and my thoughts ( list of authors is at end of description).
Story is about making your dreams come to true. How we born on this planet and with pure innocent child mindset we slowly become what society, culture or family want us to be. How we often forget about about our true self and our self-talk and mind makes us foeget about our dreams.
With days passing each chapter is methapor of what nature teach us on our journey to our dreams. Its not in my power to makes everyones dream come to true but I was hiking for everyone's dream as symbol of journey of your personal change. If I can make it to finish line, then let all yours dreams comes to true.
Story supposed to give you inspiration, courage and support to make this happen.
Kungsleden - Kings trail is 470 km long trail included 30 km bus ride and 18.5 km boat rides over 7 lakes. I hiked from south starting at Hemavan to far north Lappland over arctic cicrle to Abisko. On trail are STF huts with little basic shops. There is only 4 big grocery shop to resuply ( Hemavan, Ammarnas, Jakkvikk and Abisko). No civilisation 100 km around you, no escape routes, just remote and wild Sweden. Hence my backpack was loaded with food for each 5 to 7 days. Base weight was 12 kg but there were days it jumped to 23 kg only on food and water. Also rule is that you carry your rubbish all way to main villages. You will find in my backpack eggs, potatoes, carrots, tin of corns and beans, pasta, fruit, vegetables and over 2 kg of chocolate and snacks.
I walked thorugh 4 natianol parks The Vindelfjällen, Pieljekaise, Sarek, Abisko. Crossed hundreds km of birch tree forests, moorlands and vast tundra - biome with extremely cold temperatures.
On day 5 I start to have pain in my left knee from descents on steep hills, in order to ease it I was using more right leg which caused me very painful right hip joint (later that year I found out I fractured my pelvis). There were days I hiked through pain in rain hurry to catch boat. On last day my right arm and feets started to be swollen - Im missing lymph nodes from neck and I'm in high risk of Lymphedema- elephant arm or feet. Sometimes i keep forgetting about my condition so all trip followed me micro sleeps from radiotherapy and noticeable pain from surgeries. None of this you dont see in video but it was there with me for 22 days. But....I didnt let all this to stop me from finishing trail.
Six lakes are crossed by paid motorboats which runs on daily schedules or you need to call them- this I need to have in mind when making my daily planning. 1 lake has to be row on boat. In this challenge I failed as I suffer with panic attacks from water and I dont know swim and I crossed lake with 3 other beautiful souls.
Thank you to everyone who give me cigarettes or tabacco on trail. Thank you to all of you for your kind donations to help me survive on this trip. Thank you to my parents for there forever support and Liam for looking after my cat .
