I tried to join the Norwegian Coastal Ranger Commando

Check out this interview I did while shooting for my climbing course ⌲ magnusmidtbo.com/

I love that Magnus tried to make jokes at several points throughout the video and they were all dead silent, made it even more fun. 🤣

There were Norwegian special forces stationed at the base I was at in Afghanistan in 2005-2006 and let me tell you, those guys were absolutely incredible. I’m so happy we’re allies 😂 Those guys walked around in flip flops or barefoot on base in the middle of winter. They’d roll out on missions for a week or two at a time, come back for a few days and go back out. They were hard as diamonds. Nothing but respect for them.

Admit it guys, y’all saw those camo nets and immediately went “Oh it’s Nøkk”

These guys seem so supportive, looks like a really tightly-knit group of brothers. Much respect to everyone who pursues this career. Absolute legends.

Damn, extremely cool that you even secured permission to make this video in the first place. Awesome look into the inner world of a thing most of us never consider

Huge respect my friend! It's okay that "your new friend" did't let you climb up but we are very proud that you didn't leave him behind! 💪😅

As a U.S. Marine, the thing that separates special operations from the conventional military is their professionalism and quietness. They do not boast, speak loudly. They are quiet, soft spoken and only speak when asked something. It’s the quietest dude in the room that is often times the best out of their peers. To no surprise all of these young men or older find themselves in selection and end up getting selected. It’s not the most fit guy or the smartest but the right individual. The one who contributes to all skill sets, the quiet professional.

As someone working in the Norwegian Army, I gotta say that I really appreciate the opportunity to see what other units do and how demanding this work is. Thanks for inspiring me - this was a great boost in motivation to be a better me! Looking forward to the next video with you and FORSVARET!

Magnus never fails to go above and beyond for our entertainment. What a legend

Hey Magnus, a suggestion. When the military no longer lets you try their stuff ;) there are pretty hard physical tests to become a firefighter (more or less demanding depending on the country)

I've been in the Danish Navy.. but this is definitely something else for sure. I was apart of a huge Nato mission in Bodø, Norway in 2020, and those guys at the Coastal Commando was so crazy proffesional and actually pretty scary! So much respect to you, Magnus!

I was in the Marine Corps infantry and had the great pleasure to be trained by instructors in the Norwegian Army for extreme cold weather training. They were super humble and nice on the outside, but I know for sure they are rock solid and hard as nails on the inside. True beasts. We had 4 assigned to my my platoon, they were introducing themselves and a little bit about their experience. All of them and I mean all of them, had 2 tours at the least to Afghanistan and some to Iraq. They were awesome

This video is good at showing how cool these guys are and what a beast Magnus is. But honestly the visuals of this one just made me desperately want to visit Norway. What a stunning country.

The fact that magnus pulled through the whole day after going to complete muscle failure during those lunges at the start is crazy! Huge respect to him, shows he is not only very fit but has some willpower to him

mad respect to you man. you didnt show up and expect them to bend over backwards for your content. you did their test and met their standards earning you this video. must feel very rewarding. GJ!

I am incredibly impressed with your cinematographer consistently using lenses and angles that avoid exposing their identities

Magnus is really a machine man , the amount of sports and physical tests he passed it's insane !

For anyone curious, stretching before running isn't bad necessarily, but you should stretch dynamically (short&couple reps). Save the static stretches till after a workout

As a retired Air Force Medic who spent years in Special Operations working with Combat Controllers, Pararescue, TACP, Army SF and some SEALs, I really appreciated the video.
