The most important thing is to clean up after yourself. You should leave the site as clean and pristine as you found it basically.
Also I didn't notice if that other family built that campfire from scratch or used an existing foundation. But if you can try and use an existing foundation when building a campfire and make sure to put it out when you leave. Building a fire from scratch out in nature can easily lead the fire spreading or picking up again after you're gone if you dont put it out well. Most forests with planned trails through them have spots at regular intervals where you can safely build a fire and cook food.

I feel nostalgic when i saw them include a "koja". I remember building them in when i was 7-12 years old.
By a remarkable coincidence the primary meaning of the Japanese word 「小屋」 (koya) is "small temporary building".

We really live in different societies. The last page on her thoughts about "Swedish men" and household chores. We all really live differently.

For the last page recipe, if it's to be classic Swedish food then it's probably Mushroom Soy (it's been around here somewhat longer and gotten more included in various pork dishes and stews) - but either should work.

I can tell that window view is a reference. Buildings poking up in a forest is quite the impression you can get.

That's primarily a pine forest. Of the coniferous trees, there are mostly pine and spruce, but spruce forests are much darker. Where they are forests are relatively mixed, since it's roughly where the coniferous forests in the mid and north and the deciduous forests in the south meet.

You're not allowed to fell trees without permission, and camping is restricted to one day, outside the view of the houses and gardens.

Of course, meatballs with some jam on the side.

Moose meat is great. So's caribou/reindeer.

"They're like a replacement for rice."
They're a replacement for other root vegetables like turnips. We never had rice here to replace. It's better to say they're equivalent to rice, as it's a staple food.

Potatoes with lingonberry jam is starvation food, in the sense that you can eat only that and be reasonably well off for quite a while. But not in the sense of people only eating it if they have nothing else; it's quite popular, but with more stuff to the dishes, like meat.
