This is the first backpacking trip of this first season of TGSHBT, and it is Part 1 of 3 of the 10 day Femundsmarka National Park backpacking trip on the border with Sweden. I start from Elgå and go up Sagbekkdalen/Saw Creek Valley, over to Revlingsjøan/Revling Lakes, cross the neck of Stor Svuku and go over to Kratltjønnan/Shrubbery Tarns, go off trail through bear territory past Voltjønnan and Midtrøsttjønnan and follow Sorfisktjønnan/Big Fish Tarns to Litlbuddhåen, strange names and hard to translate some of them. Femundsmarka is a pretty hard place to travel through once you reach the endless boulder plains where its bushwacking and climbing over huge boulders unless you are on trail. This is a very wild area and has a good population of bears and a huge population of reindeer. This was my first time in Femundsmarka and it ended up being an incredible beautiful trip!
