In this blog post, I am sharing some of my favorite YouTube channels featuring individuals who live close to nature in a conscious way.

Some YouTubers live a slow and simple life in the forests or mountains, while others often embark on adventures in nature. One thing they all have in common is their deep connection with the natural world.

If you have any additional channels to recommend, please feel free to leave them in the comments below.

wild youtube channels nature and adventure

Jonna Jinton

Jonna decided to leave the city at the age of 21 and start a new life in a small village in northern Sweden, where her ancestors originally came from. She currently lives in a beautiful red Swedish house in the middle of the forest with her partner Johan and their dog Nanok.

Jonna's passion is creating beautiful cinematic videos that capture her slow and intentional life and the enchanting nature of Sweden. I truly admire her visual storytelling and her harmonious relationship with nature and the changing seasons.

In addition to documenting her life and the stunning surroundings, Jonna also shares insights into the family business she has developed over the past few years, where she sells paintings and jewelry.

Roaming Wild Rosie

A few years ago, Rosie moved from London to a remote cabin in the Swedish forests. On her channel, she shares videos about the renovation of her cabin and other construction projects she does all by herself. Rosie has an incredibly funny and inspiring personality.

Before starting this adventure, Rosie had no construction experience, but she figured everything out as she went along. It's especially inspiring to see how she has grown in her building skills in these few years and is able to bring more and more complicated projects to fruition.

Rosie also has no car or driver's license and does everything by bike or on foot. She even once used a bike and mini trailer to pick up building materials in winter. How cool is that?!

Olle Nilsson

Olle is a wildlife photographer from Linköping, Sweden. On his channel, he shares different kinds of videos about his wildlife photography.

My favourite videos he makes are his POV videos, where he shares his photography trips in the Nordic forests. You follow him, looking for specific animals and see how he captures them. He also shares some photos he took and how they look after editing them. They are super relaxing to watch and really inspiring.

WildBeare

I discovered Claire’s channel last year and have since watched almost all her videos. I love her calm and joyful personality.

Her videos are beautifully shot and show inspiring and realistic accounts of her outdoor adventures. Claire has created a lifestyle she loves and goes out into nature whenever she can.

She has given me more confidence to go on adventures by myself. Many videos are about hiking and wild camping, but she shares some bushcraft, wild cooking, and stealth camping videos. I also love learning more about these subjects.

Sanna Vaara

If you also love Jonna Jinton, I would highly suggest checking out Sanna Vaara’s channel. Sanna lives in a remote village of only 25 people in the far north of Finland. She creates photographs, videos, and music inspired by the Nordic nature.

In her videos, she shares her slow and seasonal life in a beautiful, poetic way. They always make me feel really calm. They take you away to this gorgeous Finnish fairytale-like place.

Dani Connor Wild

Dani is a British wildlife photographer who bought a house in the north of Sweden. It is close to a forest where she has created a deep bond with the red squirrels who live there.

She shares different types of videos about photography, wildlife and nature, and her life in Sweden. Her videos have such a cosy and lovely feel to them. More recently she shared a series of videos about a baby squirrel she rescued and rehabilitated.

Kalle Flodin & Christine Kjaer

A few years ago, Kalle made the decision to leave behind his life in Stockholm and move to a remote cabin in the woods of Northern Sweden. Now, both he and his girlfriend Christine, who moved there from Denmark, share videos about their daily lives.

They live a very simple life in tune with nature. They are doing some upgrades to their cabin, but they have lived there for a couple of years without running water and no indoor shower or toilet.

These are inspiring videos about living a slower life and have made me question what it actually is we really need in life. I found it very enlightening to see how they manage this kind of lifestyle.

Christine also shares some information about her work as a hormone therapist in her videos.

Naturally Silent

About a year ago, I stumbled upon the Hilja channel. She has the most relaxing videos about her silent life in nature and her forest cabin.

In most of her videos, you follow her on her daily life with the sounds of nature in the background. She has a couple of talking videos, which are in Finnish, but you can put on the English subtitles to follow along.

If you are looking for soothing and nature-related content, I would highly recommend watching her videos.
