    What a way to wake up in a Sunday morning, a coffee in hand and an absolutely stunning view Thanks Erik and stay safe

    I really enjoyed watching this with my breakfast 🍳 so much better for the soul than turning the TV on. Your films are of the highest quality video and sound and I really like the simplicity of your camping set up. Thanks again 👍🇬🇧😄

    In a world full of noise and distraction your videos permit us to spend a moment enjoying some piece and solitude. The camera helps us to focus on the landscape and the small details too. I went for a hike with a couple of friends yesterday, but when they left to go home I was pleased to go on further and take the time to absorb my surroundings, the colours, the sounds, the tranquility.

    • @erik_normark
      @erik_normark  4 роки тому +1

      Indeed! Being alone out there gives you a nice connection to nature and the surroundings. And the camera is a good friend, and keeps me busy :)

    My favorite activities are camping, hiking and canoeing. Watching your videos motivates me to take my next adventure, and I love the planning process as well. I enjoy the silence in your videos; just listening to sounds of nature as you go about you're daily routine brings me there. I am planning to go winter camping, in a hot tent in Vermont. Being in nature helps me focus on the present moment, which is necessary as I go on solo trips. It's hard work at 73 but there is nowhere I'd rather be.

    • @0LoneTech
      @0LoneTech 4 роки тому

      We're not a convenient food source, since we're the one species they see as a potential risk. Don't leave food out, and if you encounter a bear, stay calm, let it know who and where you are (talk, stay upwind), and give it space. If it approaches, go back whence you came. There's enough land.

    • @Broekmanium
      @Broekmanium 4 роки тому +1

      Typically, if a Swedish brown bear sees you first, you won't see him. They will avoid human contact. They are mainly vegetarian and will only attack if driven into a narrow situation or with cubs. E.g. Polar bears just see you as food so get the hell out haha. Mooses are just a-holes so watch out. They are big and they know it.

    Wow! that's a river. Here in Southern California (USA) it is mostly desert where I live. I love my beautiful desert; but I must admit I would love to see this amazing land of water and green things that you share with these videos. In our local mountains we have pine forest, but even there, when a creek is six to twelve inches wide, and it take twenty seconds to fill a liter bottle with water, we say, "that creek has good flow." Backpacking in my mountains is a strategy of making it to a water source each day if you can. Backpacking in the desert means carrying all your water or cashing water in locations along the way days before. But I love backpacking solo for two or three nights in our vast desolate desert. I think you would love it too. I am sixty-two and I know I'll never make it to Sweden, but if I did, I would skip the cities and ask you for some tips on where to go. Beautiful video. Great work. Thank you.

    Translation for the end =)
    *"I started the trip at "trollforsen", "Pite älven", first night. Then i drove here to "Revio" nature-reserve, a couple of Km south of, and pitched camp on top of "akkatjåkkå", northern parts of "Reivo", with miles-long view. But it is a cold morning, maybe 5 celcius, biting cold. The end of August but it feels like autumn."*

Klippen är lagom långa, man hinner inte tröttna, och inget klipp blir för kort, så man behöver backa för att hänga med. Bra jobbat!
