I don't know how many times, but I think I have given Erik countless, silent thumbs up every time he drinks coffee!

[@SirVisant]

Routine with Eric movie: - make a coffee - close door in my room - increase volume - tick thumb up - start the movie - share a coffee and thumbs up with Eric - do complain that movie is to short

[@altewu17]

That sounds like a pretty good routine. I agree.

[@ARI-wc6xd]

Would it be better routine to see the video and then go and have a solo trip also?

[@altewu17]

@@ARI-wc6xd Sure. If only free nature wasn't that far away.

[@laurenth8124]

A coffee ? Are you sure ?

[@susanapol382]

Thumb up to that routine

[@tantan-sn5of]

It is incredible how you do it. You always managed to make the world look so beautiful and natural. Thanks

[@northernswedenstories1028]

That's because it is!

[@lourensstrydom9707]

Erik, me and Evan (My 4yr old son) have been looking forward to this one. What a blessing! He asks me all the time - "Daddy, is there a new Erik video yet?" We both had our coffees, while being glued to the screen. Thank you once again for a great adventure. Greetings from me and Evan, all the way from South Africa.

[@simonpackham5780]

We’re looking forward to the Lourens and Evan videos of the future ☺️

[@erik_normark]

Thank you very much Lourens, and to your son!

[@FretchGaming]

Wait? Your 4yr old son drinks coffee? ^^

[@johnc1975]

My home state of California is approximately the same size as Sweden but with 27 million more people. In spite of this it is still possible to be alone in the mountains there. Thank you for your video.

[@Hailexx]

John C Correct, except we can’t get to any of it because most is behind private land. Sweden has public access to all open countryside, hopefully something we can work on improving here.

[@hoboesque_]

So apt . Life is full of riches when it’s sleeping , eating , drinking , packing and leaving . A daily cycle of meaningful actions carried out with deliberation . All centred on a love of nature and a respect for real things , cold and heat dark and light. . These films hide a profound truth in plain sight .

[@paullindberg6219]

Underbar film igen! Man blir inspirerad och längtar till fjällen igen.

[@erik_normark]

Tack Paul!

[@wandering_not_lost]

Another very enjoyable video, thank you. What a clever idea to remove your socks before the river crossing, keep them dry and put them back on after crossing the river and wiping out your boots. I shall be crossing rivers up in Scotland in a remote area in a few weeks and was considering how best to manage it. I probably wouldn't have thought of removing my socks first, so thank you.

[@erik_normark]

Thanks Ian. The straps didn't do a very good job, much water came in anyway! Yes with dry socks you just keep going.

Wow. That’s probably in the top 5 best videos that you have done. So beautiful with great shot selection. I love all your mountain Videos. I especially liked the wide angle of your tent down by river so tiny. The shot you should keep from now on is the map at the end of the video so we the viewer can see how far you traveled. Really adds to the overall story. So good that I’m going to replay it again a second time. Just incredible. How far of a drive was this for you.

Thanks for another beautiful and well produced video. I finally got the Notch Li gen. 2 and really like it. I'll use my silnylon Moment DW for winter camping. I've added 4 fly hem stake loops for windy conditions. Before sewing the loops to the fly hem I used a circle of Dyneema repair tape folded on the hem edge and another larger Tenacious Tape circle over it for double reinforcement. Next i'm using RIT Dyemore to dye the solid panels of the inner tent green B/C of the translucent shite Dyneema fly giving no shade and no privacy. This is my 2nd Tarptent pole supported tent. The first was the Contrail. I had online night out in my Notch Li so far. It was a warm costal southern California night and with both fly doors open I was comfortable with no condensation.

Beautiful Erik, I'll have to go hiking this week!

[@JimNichols]

I had a pair of Danner Fort Lewis, worn them out several times the last pair I had were resoled 3 times. I used "Bear grease" a concoction my grandmother said was good for leather, that and the gortex made them water proof and soooooooohhh comfortable you could just wear them all day. Sorry reminiscing .... seeing you ford the stream brought back great memories of camping/hiking in the smokey mountains... forded a stream but before I did I was wearing the same pants as you and those fort Lewis boots, I taped the cuffs of the pants to the boots, stayed really dry during the several water crossings I made knee deep. .. sometimes it is worth the extra time to relax and keep dry... I love your videos... makes my wanderlust kick in.... traveled to Thailand and have been a lot of places here ... kinda feel the need to move on... peace be unto you my brother. ..

En bra film som vanligt. Man längtar ju tillbaka upp dit. Ja, den dagliga morgonrutinen med att packa ihop blir ju lite tröttsam om man är ute en hel vecka. Varje dag packa ner och packa upp. Tack för kamerainfon i slutet. Så det är en systemkamera du släpar med dig. Jag kanske får börja släpa med mig min gamla Nikon D300s igen då. Har inte filmat så mycket med den tidigare. Men den har följt med på många turer förr.

Tack Danne! G80 är ganska liten och lätt för en systemkamera, idealisk fjällkamera. Jag kör annars Nikon Z6 numera, men bara på kortare turer.
