Hut-to-Hut; A day in the life video

Short vid showing preparation, packing, and moving off across the frozen lake from Akkastugan.
Watch out for Paul’s man-boobs and you may just get a glimpse of Santa in there (aka Bjorn the Warden who was voted best hut warden in the universe 2009 by me).
The huts in the area remind me of the Youth Hostels of yesterday year. Beautifully made and laid out. Woodburning stove for warmth. Gas stove for cooking. Water from the stream meltwater or a hole in the lake. Beautiful locations. You could make a great tour between the huts (the remoter ones are better). Places you can really chill out in.
2 exceptions:
- Singi Hut has been ‘renovated’ using very high quality furniture from Ikea. It’s dreadful.
- Kebnekaise Fjallstation is best avoided. They are trying to turn the place into a hotel. Expensive. Restaurant food does not match the mountain/winter sport environment i.e. its celeb chef crap. All the staff are great but the management need a good hard look at what they are doing.
