FFS Pod from Swedish Lapland - with hut host Mats Nordgren

Backdrop Journal's FFS Backcountry Podcast

Episode 22 - During a week Backdrop spent in the arctic region of Swedish Lapland, around Kebnekaiser, in March of 2022, we stayed in some remote huts belonging to the Swedish Tourist Association. Mats was the hut host at one of them - Tarfala - while we were there, making sure we were going to follow the rules, and crucially, how to operate the sauna.

Have a listen as Mats describes how the very democratic Swedish hut system works, how he got his love for the mountains and becoming a hut host, along with a few tales of his experiences up there.

(A little bit less of our FFS theme to this podcast - like, er none - enjoy!)
