Solo Backpacking Four Days in the Scandinavian Mountains

Solo hike with tent at Ammarnäs in the Swedish mountains in mid June. Still much snow and lots of melt water in the streams, but no mosquitos. Hiking with trail runner shoes (Salomon Sense Ride 2). Tent was the Tarptent Notch.

In 21 minutes of this video, there was more drama, storytelling, suspense, action, and exceptional cinematography than the last three Disney Star Wars movies combined. Great video Erik. Thank you.

We owe you a vote of thanks for one of your videos with a Firebox Stove! After researching it over a few days, we bought one with a bunch of accessories, to use while skiing and camping. I can't believe the dishes i can cook on this!!! Tack så mycket!

Tack Roger!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Fantastic, Erik. What a beautiful, unpopulated country you have. And that Moose! 😮 👀👍😎

[@Funkteon]

That's what happens when you build a nation around a living wage whereby people don't need to have half a dozen children in order to keep the family alive..lol

[@jac5344]

Fantastic! Great scenery. There is nothing like early Spring. The rebirth of life, the sun rising higher in the sky, the warmth coming down on the cold earth, longer days, birds singing in the early morning, the awakening. It is a phenomenon that may be unmatched anywhere in the Universe. Never take it for granted. You will not get to experience it even a 100 times in your life. Take the time to appreciate each one. Peace to all of you.

[@sklunkersklunkersson8679]

The interaction with the moose is the kind of thing you remember for a long time. It looked a young one, full of curiosity.

[@patriark]

They usually are way more shy. Definitely a confident young fella this one. I think Erik was happy that the mother was not tagging along, because a protective adult moose can be dangerous

[@Alessandro-nq3tm]

@@patriark can he attack humans?

[@patriark]

@@Alessandro-nq3tm Yes. Moose bulls can be aggressive, but it's very rare that they end up hurting people. 99,999% of the time a moose will just run away from the sound of humans.

[@Broekmanium]

@@patriark Had in total four encounters with Moose bulls over the years and in each occasion we just had a short staring contest like in the video and both moved on with our days. The sheer size of these guys however does make me respect them and nature.

[@Fellmandave1]

I was concerned your coffee was not right the first morning Erik. Was so relieved to see the thumb on the second morning!

[@Wastelander13]

So beautiful video! Thank you for this calm moment! 🙏

[@scotlandsbest3981]

I had exactly the same point of view from the comfort of my tent but with 3 red deer. They walked almost right up to my door, curiously sniffed me and my kit before slowly walking off. Beautiful.

[@HeuristicalWorker]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT ART!

[@gobtv9459]

Lovely. The moose was gold. It seemed to comfortable.

[@jeffmorris739]

Eric you speak! Just brilliant cinematography as usual but the young moose was a real surprise I bet for you as well. Ultra light which I don't see you use much but a nice selection of gear. Thanks for sharing.

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

Another great video! The young moose was very cool. Beautiful location. 👍

[@jimf1964]

Beautiful place. If I lived there, you'd run into me up there for sure. I agree with your assessment of trail runners. If the load isn't too heavy, weather and trails are easy, really worth wearing. I used to over use boots too. I run and exercise with minimalist foot wear all the time now, so it's a logical choice for me.

[@jackwyatt9312]

Erik, thank you for sharing your adventures in the beautiful Scandinavian mountains with us. What a lovely place!.

[@Dstew57A]

The bog with the ptarmigan...i could just imagine Viking artifacts in the area.... very beautiful...I needed this today...thank you Erik for posting this lovely trip

Hello Erik, greetings from Northern California. It's very good to see you again. No mosquitoes on this trip, consider yourself blessed. You did another Magnificent job of filming on this outing. Such beautiful country. What a special moment to see a moose slowly meandering. I like your new, trend setting, trail runners. All the best to you, stay healthy. 🤗

[@simonpackham5780]

It’s now a week later. I’m sat in bed as usual. Really want my coffee, but really want my coffee while watching Erik’s latest video. It’s 7 minutes to 9 (UK time). I’m going to risk it and hope that the new video is released at 9 o’clock. I CAN’T LEAVE IT ANY LONGER!!

[@mobilewintercamp7515]

Maybe someday when I make a video I’ll be able to keep my mouth shut and have the beautiful sound of nature take prescience like your videos. The moose was fantastic to see just look at you. I’ve run into them a lot but it’s different on snowmobile with a helmet on as opposed to the gentle tranquility of your encounter. Thanks for the peaceful escape
