I really enjoyed watching this with my breakfast 🍳 so much better for the soul than turning the TV on. Your films are of the highest quality video and sound and I really like the simplicity of your camping set up. Thanks again 👍🇬🇧😄

[@michaelsanfilippo7433]

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.

[@erik_normark]

Thank you Michael, I've been in a desert once in my life, that was in Morocco, and since then I have always wanted to see a desert again! I hope one day I will.

[@antti962]

Great job, always enjoy watching your videos! 06:55 vs. 09:50 would be hilarious: "If it's black inside: It's a bear. - If it's grey inside: It's a köttbullar." ;-D

[@TheQNSzzz]

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]

Indeed! Being alone out there gives you a nice connection to nature and the surroundings. And the camera is a good friend, and keeps me busy :)

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Ah Erik, the Clint Eastwood of outdoor videos. Always a relaxing journey but music!? I nearly died of fright ;-) Happy camping and thank you for all your content. Andrew

[@ajda1947]

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.

[@marianfrances4959]

Very treed. Nice tent! Beautiful views! Coffee time!😉🇨🇦👍💜

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Great hike and a very nice video.Enjoyed it very much.Thank you !!!

[@Lazzoboy]

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!

[@Lazzoboy]

Samt en sak till...INTE EN MASSA PÅTVINGAD REKLAM på saker du använder. Så skönt, är är såååå sjukt less all reklam i samhället.

My God Erik! You find the most scenic and tranquil places on the earth!

[@henriklarsson5221]

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."*

[@haasenhuus]

Nice film as always. Just came back from tenting in Verdals-grønningen, middle ofNorway. Shorts and t-shirt during the day, but needed down jacket by the night-campfire. Around 1 degree at the coldest. Next day started cold but I ate my dinner in my underware only. And then a bath. 🤪🥶

that one day, towards the end of summer, when you feel the weather turn and you know autumn is on the way. that is always the best day of the year for me.

[@saunamchan2908]

I guess bears are rare enough in Sweden to the point where eating/cooking at your tent is no problem. Another great Normark adventure! Thank you!

[@0LoneTech]

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. www.viltskadecenter.se/pdfs/om_du_moter_bjorn_2012.pdf

[@Broekmanium]

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.
