I lived in a lavvo from august 2015 to April 2016, and it was the most awesome year ever (including in terms of sleep). I had a nice setup with a platform covered with sheep skins, and two sleeping bags (it reached -15C that winter in southern Norway).

Back when I was younger (10-14) I slept outside more than half of the days of the summer. In the barn, under trees, in trees, far into the forest, often accompanied by my horse, dog and cat. The feeling of waking up outside is so nice. In the forest, the first birds in the morning waking you up, finding new places and exploring. I had capes, some of wool, one of reindeer skin, and that's all you need to be comfortable during the night. I used to ride my horse far into the forest and we would just stay there until the next day. Playing flute, doing woodworking or reading while the horse was grazing.

That period from 10-14 sounds mindblowing! Magic. I'm guessing your folks had a summer house in Norway or something - I love that you had that freedom.
