I guess you are not... that's what it looks at the moment.

Nice i was there this summer
cazkey
Why is that the first thing I think about is the severe butt breath a person has waking up there?

Ser lite små stenigt ut :-D

isetprettygirlsonfire

Fjallanders
Thanks, It is one of the most beautiful places in Sweden, I think.??
bigfootbound
What tent?
Fjallanders
It's a Terra nova laser ultra. It's an ultralight tent
bigfootbound
Thanks! Bit of a gearhead for ultralight backpacking. I’ll check it out! Been using tarptent notch but I want to move into more winter tent
onceuponatime1881
How’d you clear so many rocks?
Fjallanders
There are some prepared places where small tents can fit
onceuponatime1881
Okay sick, good to know.

Fantastiskt vackert där med fin utsikt över Keb. Var där '98 så det är ett tag sen nu ?
Fjallanders
Ja det är en otroligt vacker plats. Kan tänka mig att det var ännu vackrare när du var där då glaciärerna inte hade smält av så mycket.
ThrownClub
Because everyone wants to make a bed in a massive pile of gravel like some kind of terrestrial guppy.
misinformednerd
That rock wall suggests that camping spot is windy as fuck.
Fjallanders
The Swedish wind speed record is there. It peaked at 80m / s in the storm

'The beach is a bit rocky, but the water is brisk!'...
Fjallanders
Yes, the water comes from the glaciers. It's beautiful but incredibly cold.

Fri Dec 10 @ 22:24:21 GMT -0800 so, basically 10pm for us on the west coast US
hobowitharolex
That just looks toooooo cold I would need a massive fire to sleep out there
Fjallanders
Not so cold, just around zero
WoodHandle
You have cellular service there?
Fjallanders
, Helpful, but it disappears quickly

Sun rising today at 11:13 and setting at 11:52, enjoy!
khora
Isn’t it 11:23?
6foot9inches
I presumed he was at the same latitude as Kalixfors, then it's 11:13
ineedair
Can I join you? I need some where to hide from my family and responsibilities.
Fjallanders
Of course, it's going well ??
khora
It will be very intimate in the tent.
Fjallanders
Of course, it's going well ??
BatDoc
How do you have cell service?!?!? I look at a mountain with my phone in my hand and I loose signal…
Fjallanders
There was some signal here. But it disappears quickly
BatDoc
That’s amazing

At what time of year was this picture taken?
Fjallanders
late August
mrputter
Ohhhh... I thought you meant you took it today, and I had... several questions. (Not the least of which was about the temperature.)
FlyNaked
Where do you poop when you camp?
rbudrick
Bring 2 tents.
IllegalDuckling
Anywhere that isn't the tent
Fjallanders
In the stone bushes ?

On top of the closest hill, for max visibility to assert your dominance. (Also, less gnats in ya balls & butt)
JaimeLannistersRightHand
A hole you dig?
lovit487
Behind a stone usaly.
elmonosabio
Wow! We’re those rocks already cleared for the tent?
Fjallanders
Yep, they've prepared several places. Otherwise, the place is incredibly rocky.
hotrodny
Which one of them? 4?
belovedlover
Interesting that it's allowed to do such rock formations but I guess it would be near impossible to hike there if u don't have place to camp
Fjallanders
Yes, the surroundings are so rocky that otherwise it would be impossible to camp
erikna
Theses tent spots are ubiquitous on the stony parts of kungsleden, the primary trail through the swedish mountains :D
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
Is that definitely a safe place to camp? Those rocks are there for a reason.
erikna
Campers before moved the rocks to make a flat place to sleep and made a windbreak. Very common in sweden.
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
What I meant was that if there's rocks at the bottom, they probably came from the top. E.g. rock bonk head.
MajorTom0101
Ya, deposited there by a glacier during the ice age.
VolcanoHerder
Honestly it looks like a pretty well developed glacial trough, could be an active (but seasonally recessed) glacier. Ie not ice age. I'm not
VolcanoHerder
a glacial geomorphologist, but I do love glacial geomorphology.
NotCreativeEnoughToThinkOfSomethingOriginal
Not necessarily, it's called scree and are all the rocks that fall off the mountain due to erosion. Source: I studied geology.
MajorTom0101
Iv climbed a lot of scree in my life, that's not scree. That's nice round old rocks.
rholmstrom865
Did you study Swedish highlands too?
VolcanoHerder
I'd have to disagree with you here, looks to me like the bed load dumped in the glacial trough during seasonal recession of a glacier.
