Five Days Kayaking on Lake Tjeggelvas

[@DC41ST]

So gorgeous - it makes us realize just how much we miss you and your wonderful videos. Mosly we hope you're okay.

[@blackibex]

WOAH! It's unbelievable how clear the water of the lake is... you see every rock in the water. Insane. A true paradise.

Waters are shallow, cold, seemingly void of life.

No one can match your style of video, awesome my son loves the coffee thumbs up and copies when we are out in the outdoors.

[@waynearrington6727]

This is the best such video I have encountered. It captures the serenity of being alone on the water. Best medicine for lowering blood pressure.

[@bushcraft_survival]

One of your best films. And 22 minutes, perfect sound, beautiful surroundings as always, the bird explanation, and the map, i appreciate that. Greetings from NL

Blir nästan gråtfärdig naturens oändliga skönhet. Själv var jag på en liten tur i en Sörmländsk insjö med mängder av vita näckrosor idag. Det är också oerhört vackert, men inte på långa vägar så storslaget som det du visar dina tittare. Tack från en tant som är gammal för de färder du gör.

[@erik_normark]

Det är tacksamt att filma i dessa vackra miljöer! Vänlig hälsning

[@mikaelbjessbo3229]

Total Harmoni as every movie you make. Many thanks.

[@carlpasha]

Trangia spirit stove; the epitome of 'slow food' and often the better for it! My jetboil's far faster, but the Trangia forces me to take in my surroundings (and it can simmer!). Lovely video. Thank you.

[@mikesather1345]

Excellent photography and sound. Liked that you got 5 days into less than 30 minutes. Really enjoy your good times, thank you.

[@smacloopy4029]

Watching this was like medicine for the soul. I have been fjällvandring and camping about 25 years ago around Sarek national park north of this. I must go back one day. A vast unspoiled landscape with pure air and drinking water. It was truly incredible.

[@walleyehunter8862]

The lake looks beautiful 😍! It's nice when it's calm and sunny and you can see the reflection of the mountains in the water .

[@mikelazure7462]

Another gentle masterpiece Erik. Cool, and rare, to see you on the 'beach' in bright summery light. As always your sound recording and editing is magisterial. Those reflections!!

[@erik_normark]

Thanks Mikel!

Vilken härlig film och vilket kanonväder du ser ut att ha haft. Det inspirerar en annan ,tack för den filmen.🙏

Stunning film, Erik perhaps the best ever! Every image perfectly framed, the soundscape exquisitely woven. I watched it twice straight through and know, with absolute certainty, that i shall return to it again and again and again. Sincere thanks for your gifts to us over the years. Regards from Finland.

[@erik_normark]

Very glad to hear that Julian, thanks!

[@figaro501]

Your's is a KZbin channel I simply cannot stay away from. Who needs tv or Netflix. Here are simple, honest cameos from a person who truly respects nature and through your videos, we too, are allowed to see some of the most wondrous nature videos available anywhere. Your skill at producing these is evident. Thank you Erik, and looking forward to your next upload. Greetings from the UK.

[@erik_normark]

Thanks Alan, I appreciate it! Atb

[@blinndorsey210]

And thanks for the English and Swedish translations for wildlife! Really helpful!

[@janeseddon5500]

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.

[@micksoden7064]

Nice change from the frozen snowy landscape. Still wonderful and understated as ever. Thumbs up on the coffee.

[@davidherdman6181]

Oh my gosh!...The reindeer (caribou) made me gasp! The way you set up shots, your editing, your photography: all amazing! Your whole video is a holy moment Erik...I hope you know that!

[@carolwilson9341]

A beautiful place to kayak. Peace and tranquility. You inspire me to take my water colours on a kayak trip. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and the scenery is very similar except you have big mountains. Kayaking is my favourite summer past time. I look forward to watching more.

[@HenrikLaurell]

The solitude is amazing. Your kajak and tent movies are my favourites! /Henrik

[@TheQNSzzz]

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.

[@sv3n1234]

yes, his films truly resemble mystical experiences!

[@ranirathi3379]

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.

[@eritose]

Snyggt! Även om tältplatsen vid ~05:42 fick mig att oroas över högvatten under natten :D Ljud och bild är magiskt bra, som vanligt. Man blir verkligen sugen att packa kajaken och sticka ut... och "holy moment" har nog aldrig känts mer rätt

[@davidnelson7941]

Erik does our outdoor community proud with such fine films.

[@Braapncamp]

Wow Erik what an epic paddle adventure and experience of our nature. Beautiful! That capital reindeer could not top this better. The campspots could not be better either. Now I know where to paddle when the day comes. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed every minute of it!

@@paperart4708 It will hopefully be fine. (Famous last words) I think the most common tourists we have are Germans. It's like they go on a pilgrimage, especially here in Norway. lol. Either caravans or bikepacking are common. We have ancient Right to Roam laws here in Scandinavia, so if you want to live like our Swede, it will cost you zero. 😉 Happy hiking.

Hej Erik, tack, tack, tack, äntligen en väldigt, väldigt fin naturvideo igen, precis som jag gillar det. Campingplatsen mitt i vattnet (vatten framför, vatten bakom) valdes briljant. 👍😃 Jag är alltid glad när du gör långa naturliga videor utan att bara tala ljudet av djur och natur. 👍👍👍 Hollywood var igår, idag är Erik ❗❕‼️ Hello Erik, thank you, thank you, thank you, finally a very, very nice nature video again, just as I like it.
