Snøhulemannen / The Snow Cave Man

Film screening aboard Eleonore Ship is back – at least for this one time so do not miss it!

Snøhulemannen / The Snow Cave Man

2010
Fridtjof Kjæreng

Award-winning documentary about a hermit that has lived 30 YEARS IN SNOW CAVES

Surprisingly this time it is not a film about ships, but an continuation of a conversation about “living off grid”, that emerged after Pippa Buchanan’s Permaculture presentation that Eleonore hosted last month.

Sverre Nøkling is not your typical outdoorsman. For the past 30 years he has been living on his own in snow caves in the Norwegian mountains. Always on the move, using a pair of old wooden skis, he goes from one snow cave to the next in search of shelter from extreme blizzards and bitingly cold wind. A true expert in outdoor survival techniques, this wilderness man refuses to be reigned in by modern society. Instead he has chosen a way of life that flies in the face of conformist consumer culture and the materialistic modern world. Sverre’s life is a tale about the quest for total freedom as well as the price one pays in seeking it
