As a Norseman, the call of adventure is strong. Though for now I seek glory in building a business, someday I may roam. These are wise words I shall remember.

Hmm.. haven’t anyone stateside heard of the Swedish concept of “Allemansrätt” which is mentioned in the National Constitution, as this legal practise is very old. Briefly put, it is the Norse version of the “freedom to roam” in other – notably Anglo-Saxon legal systems. See this link for further details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allemansr%C3%A4tt#Sweden
Under Allemansrätt or Every Man’s Right, you should – for reasons of basic courtesy – always ask permission from the landowner first, and never camp within sight or earshot of his “tomt” or yard, i e visibly or audibly close to buildings. On other private land, you do not need permission, strictly put, but you’re still required to ask, due to reasons cited above.
