3 DAYS SOLO BUSHCRAFT | nature photography, tarp shelter, making fire, chicken on stick, Denmark

My motivation and creativity comes from many things such as listening to music, watching movies and seeing other photographers work but the one thing that gives me the most is spending time in nature. Just being out there with out without camera, listening to the wind playing with the leaves and the small birds, walking in the woods sensing the trees and all the live around me without a specific purpose - that is my meditation to stay creative and the best way for me to stay reconnected with nature.
I am in an old forest a few hours from my home, on a 3 days nature photography and bushcraft trip. Despite bringing all my camera gear and vlogging equipment I feel so relaxed. Just making a small tarp shelter, some food on the camp fire and doing a little landscape photography. That is what this trip is all about for me - nature relaxation and just spending some nice days out there, enjoying autumn in Denmark.

I am not sure how i should appreciate the video... i did not read the full title and jumped into it... i was thinking probably there will not be any words when i was half way through.. once watched i realized u already wrote that in the title... good that i did not read the title carefully before so that suapense was there till very end😀. Great, phenomenal, astounding, awesome ... just magical. Thanks my friend.

[@morgenholz]

Morten, you deserve an award for this production.

[@jhapuarachchi4497]

Another gift from Morten Hilmer, the Master Storyteller. Gentle steps through the land that provide food, a place to rest, a place to find peace of mind and peace of heart, and suddenly there was a little bird dancing around as if to say 'thank you Morten for visiting my world' and then the lesson: be grateful for the land that gave you everything and leave it just as you found it in the first place. Amazing story, yet without saying a word!!! I am blessed truly blessed as I feel there is still hope for this beautiful world as long as people like Morten lives, and that his message becomes infectious around the world. Thank you Morten once again. Amazing video presentation with beautiful drone work too. Stay safe in your travels - the world needs you.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you so much John for your nice words and I loved the lesson. Very well written👍

[@jhapuarachchi4497]

@@MortenHilmer Thank you Morten. You are doing something great something so wonderful almost single-handedly. I'm so glad you have done so much in such a short time, and I truly think you are born for a such a time as this. You are truly an inspiration to me and to many around the world, and I'm so happy to see such affectionate, empathic commitment to this world we live in. I wish you well in all your endeavours in Photography as well as in all you do for the preservation of life in the world - raising awareness etc. I hope someday the world will recognise your work in a much more visible way and also be as passionate as you are to preserve this beautiful planet we are so privileged to live on. Well let me wish you and family a very blessed Christmas too.

Your videos are works of art as much as your photos, they instill serenity and are an example for an ideal life in contact with nature, our inspiring mother. Thanks Morten!

you are a very blessed photographer and short film maker. Keep up the excellent work my friend, you have an amazing talent for it. God bless you.

[@muhammadwahidar-rizky1266]

I'm amaze by how you make this video all by yourself

[@Beny10]

What I found the most incredible in these videos is the different number of points of view you offer us for a single scene. That means you have to stand up every few minutes and change the camera that is recording you or go back to where it is to move it to a different place. That's a lot of work! Thank you because the result is really relaxing and enjoyable

[@SD_Alias]

One of your best videos. No words necessary. Just beautiful and silent pictures.

[@infiniteflightbutter]

I love Bushcrafting since I was a small kid , Oh and let's not forget about the coffee 👌

[@jroynorris2963]

Most of my motivation comes from watching your videos Morten. Thanks,

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

This video is pure Zen... I just got back from a two month road trip to the Black Hills, Yellowstone and the Tetons. Although my trip was not as rustic as this I was still camping out of a 7x14 cargo trailer converted to a camper. 90% of my trip was in either national parks, state parks or boondocking. This video so makes me want to be back on the road. I just started watching your videos and am hooked. I also like to photograph things...

[@heavenscape]

No phone calls, no emails the whole time! What a luxury life style this is!!

[@sarelalberts8890]

Hi Morten thanks for sharing your private space with us .You are very inspirational .I do have a little tip for you .Get yourself a thin copper or plastic pipe about 30 to50 mm longand more or less 8mm in diameter to start your fire.By blowing with the pipe you wil not have so many smoke in your eyes.

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes I use elder if I stay for longer

My favorite channel. When I want to feel relaxed and inspired to go out and shoot all i need are morten's videos. Truly lovely atmosphere. No music, just nature. Loved it! 😊

[@S.R_Productions]

I love how you just casually put a full chicken on a stick of the fire

[@ReversusLaxus]

This "ready to be cooked" chicken irritated me somewhat (where's the refrigerator for it?), but all in all it was just an amazing relaxing video. Whished I had a forest like that and an opportunity for it close by...

Hej, Morton: I started watching with my cat sleeping on my lap - she woke up & watched along with me. I think it was the bird sounds & falling leaves that got & kept her attention. We both were mesmerized by the images, mood & colors. Drone shots were stunning. I am inspired & learned a lot from a beautiful video with no talking. Love & miss Denmark. Mange Tak!

[@MortenHilmer]

Tusind mange tak - thank you so much 😉 det er så dejligt at høre👍

The title implied it all, meditation. I just wish to get out of this busy streets of New York City soon. From my will to explore even young and creative. As a avid illustrator watching your videos full of smile then when I'm watching your videos in hermit mode activated. Being trapped indoors won't be as fun. What makes you being alive in this KZbin outdoor content is your enjoyment, medium, and the demonstration in how outdoor is enjoyed/seen. I hope to see your videos more on photography and excitements in bushcraft soon.

After a 250 mile drive home, this was the perfect thing to sit and relax to. I'd put the video in my "Watch later" list before the drive and thought about it on the way home. I settled in, with coffee in hand and turned off the phone. The next 37:41 was all mine to get lost within. These are wonderful video's. So relaxing. Thanks again, Morten, for all the hard work that goes into it.

[@MortenHilmer]

What a compliment. Thank you so much 👍👍

[@madhavsharma6643]

37 MINUTES OF NOT EVEN a single word , and we didnt need it because his videos are audibly so rich with minute detailed sound design , be it bird chirps , fire flames sounds , rumbling of the trees ,,,, he did justice to his title "solo bushcraft" because when you are solo you have no one to talk to and he wanted to make us feel the same that we are on our own adventure all by ourselves thanks morten brother for this peaceful yet so rich treat

Are you familiar with Iohan Gueorguiev? Cycling in America's. Stunning vids and sound tracks. If he makes it to Scandinavia, you must do a collaboration. You have the same empathy for animals and natural world, and the same soft, gentle, but bloody minded determination. With bag loads of humble awestruck wonder as icing on the cake.
