Days of lasts
The last few days, the departure day has come ever closer, and today IS the day! Still quite hard to believe. On Monday we handed in the all the boxes of food and stuff that we will pickup along the way. We really hope nothing gets lost!

Packing mania!
And so another week has come to its end.
With just over 2 weeks left until we leave for Treriksröset, things are finally beginning to slow down. At least when it comes to our Gröna Bandet planning/packing. At home, there are still lots and lots of things to do to just prepare for being gone for almost 3 months.

We were in the newspaper!
As time goes on and we get closer to starting our big hike, everything just keeps getting intenser. Last Friday we were in our local newspaper (yay!), but other than that and a new pair of Altra Lone Peak (I've officially joined the Altra-club now), our preparations for the hike have pretty much been set on hold. We went to see a friend and Lukas' sisters, and had a really nice and cozy weekend together, because yesterday was my 25th birthday (😱).

Hello, Grövelsjön 👋
Let's talk local! 🌍🌱
By now I suppose you already know the importance of buying and supporting local, especially now during the pandemic since a lot of small stores and services (and big ones too) have had to close down.
When we realised we needed to buy oats for our Gröna Bandet-hike, Kim immediately thought about Skafferiet in Västerås since it's one of her favourite stores. There you can buy organic products that aren't packaged, and you can bring your own containers to fill with whatever you need.

Foooood! 🍫🍜
Lately, the intensity has grown to a whole new level, and we’re sure it will get even more intense as we go into the final stage of packing and preparing for our Gröna Bandet-hike. Here are some photos from what we’re up to at the moment - buying, drying, preparing and packing food. And snacks. Food and snacks are life!
