The Gurka Camping Adventure

Some journeys begin with careful planning. Others begin by trying to fit far too much luggage into an old Saab V4.

Known affectionately in Sweden as “Gurkan” — The Cucumber — the little green Saab has once again been given an impossible task. Tents, fishing rods, baskets, blankets, food and enough camping equipment for a small expedition have been packed into every available corner. Somehow, there is still room for the family, the dog and plenty of optimism.

Grandpa watches the chaos with amusement. He knows the old Gurka better than anyone — and he knows that no matter how ridiculous the load becomes, she always seems to get everyone where they need to go.

Beyond the overloaded car awaits everything that makes a Swedish summer adventure worth remembering: a quiet lake, endless forests, fishing from the shore, evenings around the campfire and stories that will probably become more exaggerated every time they are retold.

The Gurka Camping Adventure celebrates the soul of simple adventures — where an old car, good company and a beautiful place are more than enough to create memories for a lifetime.
