It´s time for a new FKT on Kungsleden in 2020 as a Self-Supported attempt. We (Chris an Heiko from Germany) will try to set a new FKT beginning on 23rd of June this year from Abisko to Hemavan in under 6 days. Carrying all our stuff by ourselfes, sleeping in our tents and also eating our own food... Follow us ob Instagram @project.kungsleden.2020 and leave your comments... Thank you very much...  :-)
Coronatimes is a good excuse to try Kungsleden unsupported. Any FKT’s out there? Starting from Hemavan tonight.

Well done Jonathan.
How did you do with all them boat rides on Kungsleden and aint there a bus-ride between Saltoloukta and Ritsem?
Sounds like external support?
Kungsleden seems hard to do unsupported...
Thanks for pointing this out. Reading Jonathan's report it is evident that his trip should be characterized as "self supported" due to taking ferry boats, a motor boat ride, and the bus. To do this unsupported one would have to use only the row boats, or swimming I guess, and walk the bus section. So, unsupported on the Kungsleden seems unlikely. I have changed Jonathan's trip to self supported. It was not the FKT, but we will leave it here for the excellent information and photos.
I'm planning an unsupported crossing this August. 7 crossings with a packraft. Always sleep in the tent and of course never resupply.
I'm adding 2 sidetrips: Kebnekaise + Skierfe. My record is 52 days unresupplied (lost 16kg) during the first winter crossing of tasmania. Here the only issue is the wind as packrafting a large lake can become dangerous. I'll have enough food to wait but I have plans to go off track and make the crossings shorter.
Fully unsupported with packraft & food & equipment, always slept in my tent. Waiting for FKT validation. I did also Skierfe and Kebnekaise North underway.

Hello, I will be attempting the trail unsupported, starting tomorrow and following the rules set by Louis-Philippe. The only significant change is that I am going SOBO because the railway reservation system was disfunctional for the August lines. Otherwise, I would opt for a later term. Wish me luck :-)
How did it go Vojtech?
I’m leaving tomorrow and will start my unsupported attempt on thursday.
Hey, Kasper! Sorry I didn't notice your message earlier... My time was just verified. It went pretty well, though I made a few mistakes, which is the usual toll of first attempts and exhaustion. Fingers crossed!
Bonjour,Â
J'ai une question svp.
Avez vous utilisez les bateaux à moteur pour les traversées de lac ?

Packraft only. No motorboats.
Hi there, I'm planning to backpack Kungsleden starting August 14. My goal is to establish the women’s self-supported FKT and inspire more women to get after multi-day FKTs and adventures. I will be posting updates and share live tracking at pinkfeathers.com/kungsleden. Can't wait to get out there!
