Episode 69 – Robin Tangen Returns (Christmas Special) 🎄🐕

Robin Tangen is back — fresh home from West Virginia and with a brand-new chapter added: importing a dog from the U.S. to Norway.

In this Christmas episode of Nordic Tales and American Trails, we sit down to talk hunting, dogs, and the shared traditions that connect Sweden, Norway, and the United States. Robin shares stories from his recent trip to the U.S., what it’s like hunting and traveling over there, and the realities of bringing an American dog into a Scandinavian hunting life.

We get into hound hunting and breed differences, tracking styles across dog types, modern tools like GPS and training aids, and even the use of robotic bears in dog training. Along the way, we talk about game meat on the Christmas table, dog training philosophies, and how hunting builds friendships that last far beyond a single season.

A relaxed, holiday conversation about dogs, culture, travel, and the people we share the woods with.

Highlights include:

🎄 Christmas hunting traditions across countries

🐕 Robin’s West Virginia trip & importing a dog from the U.S. to Norway

🦮 Hound breeds and tracking differences

🧭 Training dogs by understanding instinct

🤖 Modern tools and training methods

🥩 Game meat and food traditions

Perfect listening for a slow holiday morning — whether you’re feeding dogs, cutting meat, or just enjoying the quiet.
