He has a passion to keep the rural communities alive and runs Huskucabin, a wilderness oas adapted for wheelchair handicapped and adventures with sled dogs. Per Johan speaks highly about the new concept of Amundsen Mid Scandinavian Sleddog Race: "I think this year's Amundsen race is a golden idea, absolutely right level and with exciting places of vital communities like Storåbränna, young children families and a willingness to set these communities on the map. Checkpoint Storåbränna is for sure going to be a wonderful gathering place appreciated by all dogdrivers, it will be one big family"
