Vidjespenningar Tuddal 2010

This movie is made by Bård Kjetil Loppen Venhaug from Tuddal, Norway. He is documenting how Anund Sisjord, Tuddal and how he is making Vidjespenningar (Twisted withies) from young birch trees. A useful craft and an old traditional craft, for making birch withies into carabin-like objects, snow shoes for horse and, pack saddles for horses and many other things. In this video Anund Sisjord is showing how he makes the withies, and how he puts on and uses a pack saddle on his horse named Bronen "The brown one". I had no part in the making of this movie. Bård Kjetil allowed me to upload it to youtube. The speech is in Norwegian, and I have not translated it. Because of the many local dialect words, and very specific terms used for different parts of the horse equipment. I simply would not know how to translate it. The movie was made in 2010 in Tuddal, Norway.
