  • Last week of July I went with the kayak for a paddling trip on lake Tjeggelvas / Tjieggelvas, starting in Örnvik where the road ends. Weather was warm and calm, really nice for a kayaking adventure. Tjeggelvas is north of Arjeplog with the river Piteälven running through. The tent is Hilleberg Allak, the kayak is Venture Islay.

    Hi Erik! i have been watching Kraig Adams for about a year now and just recently yt suggested me your channel. and you help me see this is your work, very distinctly. the nature sounds, very rarely complemented by music, the absolute you have, it is like when you are here, you are SO PRESENT it is the QUINTESSENTIAL YOU. loved your camping under moonlight video, the sounds of the metal against the crackling burning wood.
    you inspire me so much. thank you.

    A dreamscape. At times the water and sky became one, it is as if you were gliding your kayak through the luminous air. The perfection of symmetry is dazzling and unearthly. A vision. My nearest experience to this was on the plains of Africa - I experienced there a new level of consciousness where all feels complete, all human dissatisfaction is neutralised. Nothing left to be done or said. It is enough.

    Erik, thank you so much for sharing this exquisite kayaking video. What a fantastic slice of the world. The images were truly a delight. The weather you experienced was so good. 5 days was not enough. I particularly appreciated you showing setting up and pulling down your camp. This is often left out of expedition videos, but is really important to viewers who also enjoy the delights of kayak camping. It was also a joy to see you sing the good old Trangia stove. I confess to having moved on to a Jetboil, but remember with fondness the unique Trangia experience using methylated spirits as a fuel. Well done for keeping this experience alive. As a video experience for kayakers who enjoy being with nature, and particulalrly those go solo,you have nailed it perfectly.
    Thanks so much from Queensland in Australia.
