Man, we were promised sun today... Definitely not this! But up here, you never know. Hunting in this area of northern Norway is associated with unpredictable weather, no roads and absolutely no mobile phone connection, so you kind of have to know what you ..read more

  In the uncertain times of COVID-19, our farming sector was the backbone of the country. Continuing on through the lockdown and providing the country with one of the few hopes of the economy.

We had everything we rea ..read more
