Description: Jojo and Norah are on the adventure of a lifetime! They live in a tent on a self-built raft and travel around Sweden's lakes via the Dalsland Canal. Their raft measures 2.9-meter x 7-meter and it's built with impregnated wood and 28 x 200 litre barrels. It weighs a total of 1.5 tonnes and is powered by a 6 hp 2-stroke engine. You can follow Jojo and Norah's adventures here: youtube.com/channel/UC1P2AzjSbKnveOkSyu4dEzA instagram.com/my.northern.story instagram.com/outdoordiary The couple has created a surprisingly cozy little float home on the raft with a bed, a table and chairs, and even a woodstove! For electricity, they have 2x 150-watt solar panels and 3 batteries. When they visit small towns along their route they carry groceries and gas cans on a homemade handcart. Their tent is a Sibley 500 Protech tent by Canvas Camp: canvascamp.com/en/collections/sibley-bell-tents-by-size/5m-bell-tent And you can find out more about the Dalsland Canal here: vastsverige.com/en/dalsland-canal If you're curious about Jojo's previous tent life experience, you can check out the video we made with him last year: youtu.be/ir-s8KRN97Q Thanks for watching!
