Axe throwing! – Outdoor Academy of Sweden 2010 May 7
The brothers from Gränsfors Bruks Axes had a suprise for us before the wild meat dinner: axe throwing!
They were kind enough to give all of us small forest axes to try out during these days but this evening they pulled out a huge double edged axe reminiscent of a viking axe! This, of course, was for throwing
Some of us lined up to try throwing the axe with some helpful instructions from the axe brothers. It was a lot of fun and quite a sight to see. Most participants, I dare say everyone, hit the target. Except me. very embarrassing…

Tommy, don’t be embarrassed. I didn’t hit the target either. Maybe I should have tried a third time. I’m looking forward to trying out my Gränsfors axe at home though.
Kristian Jager Nykrog became a popular guy in his group during the recent Outdoor Academy of Sweden in Vålådalen. Why? He knew how to avoid getting wet feet and how to cope with with it if the damage is done.
It’s oh so nice to dig a snow cave in soft snow. But the there’s a price to pay for that: a wet nights sleep. Outdoor in Sweden invites you for a crash course in how not to build a “snöka”.
Gunnika Isaksson-Lutteman was longing to spend more time outdoors. But she simply never got around to do it. Then, last year, she decided to have an adventure, or 52 to be more precise.

I tried four times…
Haha
Yes, me too! I’m going to bring it with me on a kayak trip in Stockholm this summer, for sure.
