I know, 15 minutes is an eternity on the web. They, on the other hand, walk 40 km a day for about a month. A 1000 kilometer backcountry trip in the mountains between Norway and Sweden. The speaker says its the best way to loose weight..

I love that video! here is another of my favorites. It's a trip report from the 30's with a group of guys running from Norway into Sweden on old wooden skiis. The commentary is in swedish.
