    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."*

    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.

    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

    • @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.

    Snyggt Erik. Du har en förmåga att få den som tittar att verkligen känna att man är med dig ute. Man kan se vad du ser, känna dom lukter du känner och höra dom ljud du hör. Klippen är lagom långa, man hinner inte tröttna, och inget klipp blir för kort, så man behöver backa för att hänga med. Bra jobbat!
