This book explores the changing meanings of 'everyone's right, ' the Nordic principle granting public access to uncultivated land, regardless of ownership. It investigates what happens when custom, rooted in local needs, movement, and shared use, encounters the realities of a hyper-mobile world. People in these countries have long celebrated everyone's right as a foundational principle of outdoor life and connection to nature. Yet growing tourism, environmental change, shifting rural economies, and increasing pressures on land have transformed the conditions under which this right is practiced, raising new questions about access, ownership, belonging, responsibility, and care.
