WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY and WILD CAMPING | Shelter, bonfire, bushcraft and a bit of self reliance

[@ant_hart]

That’s what I love most about camping in the forest too, the noises you hear as you drift off to sleep and the dawn chorus when everything starts to wake up. It would be great to see more videos of you relaxing and camping in the forest and teaching some of your bushcraft skills :) atb Ant

[@michaellyons5208]

I agree with Liesl, quite the blessing. I like nothing better than minimal shelter and sleeping bag on the ground as the owls sing me to sleep. They have been outside my window nearly every night lately. :)

[@chrisroot7182]

Thanks Morten for a little dose of forest Zen! I enjoyed following along!

[@kyzeetruthahn4406]

every Video of you is like vacation for the Soul. thank you very much morten!

[@EduardoMendozaPhoto]

As I said, Nature is my best healer, and so many thanks to you Morten for sharing these lovely moments of your life, I’ve just been transported to a beautiful place of solace. Now I need to go for it myself!

[@MichaelduS7]

Your enthusiasm for nature is infectious. Thank you

[@corneliustitiu8739]

A few days ago,I discovered your videos.They brought me much joy in my soul. Watching this video, I cried,because of joy. Thank you Morten.You're a good man. God bless you!

[@andrescheeren1513]

What a pleasure to have a place like this. Pure nature. Great video.

[@xavidub]

Your films are a meditation on our old way of living when we were more connected to nature and doing only one thing at a time. When I watch them, and when I go out myself, it is so nice to slow everything down, to simplify life, to remember what is important.

[@foofreddy]

I love your enthusiasm. Such a calm video too. Thanks Morten.

[@JohnFormstone]

I watched this from my hospital bed, after an accident a couple of weeks ago left me with some pretty serious leg injuries. Thank you Morten for transporting me to a much nicer place for half an hour. it was a wonderful escape. Keep up the great work!

[@RemiStardust]

Man, that music works beautifully. Makes it cinematic. Love your enthusiam too.

[@kelsi6273]

Always great to see you getting back to your roots and enjoying what got you started in your ventures with nature.

[@andyackerman9636]

I can't believe that you went camping without your beloved coffee. Just tea? Very nicely done!!

[@F1OCU]

Great footage again Morten, your truly living the dream. Keep the inspiring footage and images coming. They are a delight to view!!!

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Paul - very kind of you to write.

[@HOTELALPHA57970]

Hello.I am French and I watch your videos for some time and I love your travels and your photos: but what I appreciate most is the respect you have for nature and the animals you photograph. have been doing animal photography for some time, and I take note of all your advice: with great pleasure.I do not speak English well enough to talk to you and I use a translator: please excuse me.Continue to make me dream with your videos.Thank you.And now, I'm going to have a coffee.

it is always amazing to watch your videos !! I feel like I'm in an adventure ... and it calms me down , away from the stressful every day world .... and you push me to experience such adventures by my self !! thanks for sharing !!

I really enjoy watching the videos you upload, I live in the city and work in an office located on the 22nd floor .... My travels to the open spaces and nature on weekends is the revival for my heart, mind and soul. As a photographer and nature lover I would like to make the change and make a living from photography but at the age of almost 58 the change is not easy, I wish you lots of success and lots of videos, a good livelihood and above all excellent health

[@LucasTJahn]

The growth of your channel is amazing and a testament to the inspiring work you are doing. Your videos are not pretentious with fancy editing or such, but simply showing the beauty of nature in wild places. Great inspiration to seek out the wilderness. Thank you :)

[@MortenHilmer]

Thank you a thousand times Lucas. So kind of you and so encouraging 👍👍👍

[@LucasTJahn]

@@MortenHilmer Also just had a thought for an awesome photo workshop you could teach: You could combine the sharing of your photo skills with teaching outdoor and wilderness survival skills. Give it a thought, I think people would love it! :)

[@LieslHuddleston]

What a wonderful blessing to live by a beautiful forest, so peaceful. Over here in Texas I’d be too scared to do that, too many snakes, spiders and poison ivy 😄 But thanks to you, I can experience it through KZbin. I really love the photo you got, very nice framing with the environment 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MortenHilmer]

So kind of you to write Liesl - nice to hear. I would definitely be more aware with the king of animals around me that you are telling about 😉 here in Denmark it is so safe. Thanks for your compliment 😀

Glad you enjoyed your night in the forest. It's the best way to get away from any civilisation and stressful situations. Got a bit worried when we didn't hear anything from you for two weeks, but thankfully you're fine. Looking forward to your next video. Have a nice Sunday!

[@robgerety]

Its important to unplug and sleep in the woods now and again. Nice video. I enjoyed it

[@mikemanning8253]

I so look forward to your videos, not only for the photography, but also for your love of life and nature. Thank you for sharing...but...tea?!?!? The coffee companies are crying. 😉

[@sebastienhebert6794]

Morten, great video. I live in Canada, so it's easy for us to just go out and camp.. I love to spend my weekend just walking in the nature and camping. Usually I spend most of my time trying to find wildlife to shoot with my Nikon D850 and my 500mm f4 or my 200-500mm 5.6 for longer hikes. I have a camper with a full shower etc, but sometimes I like just to pop a tent and camp outside, even in winter. Great video as always.! 🇨🇦👍

[@CarlChaitanya]

I just love your videos . Look forward always to seeing them .

[@markvasquezphotography9306]

Morten I’ve been watching all your videos and you are just awesome and a pleasure to watch . 👍

Hi Morten you just brought back so many memories I can smell the pine wood burning it's great your back in the place you love, look forward to seeing your next video, cheers Al

Thanks a lot Albie. Yeah I know that feeling so well from when I lived in Greenland and watched a movie where people were in the forest having a fire.

Morten eres mi favorito!! Gracias por subir tus vídeos de fotografia t naturaleza, espero puedas venir algún día a mi país y disfrutar de la Patagonia Argentina, saludos.

[@iastorgaphotos]

I couldn't agree with you more. Even health professionals will recommend that we need to slow down, disconnect from technology and the mad pace of urban life, and just take a walk or hike out in nature, be it a local park or forest. This definitely refreshes and enlivens our soul. Thank you, Morten! BTW: I love your dog in your video collab with Jonas Paurell. Pure joy, that little guy! [The dog, that is. ;)]

Hi Morten. You have inspired me in many ways. So much so that I have today bought the same sweater as you have - the Svalbard from Devold. It just looked so warm and lovely on you that when I saw one in the Norsk Tourist Feregning shop here in Drammen, Norway - I just had to buy it. Cheers.

Awesome video! It's nice to get glimpse into your world in these magnificent vlogs. And also to hear and see that it is more often than not that we actually don't get any great pictures, which of course makes it so much more special when we do.

[@Bob4golf1]

Also prefer the short exposure. Looks real which I think speaks to the viewer more than smooth clouds or super smooth running water.

Morten, I love watching your videos, they are so peaceful. Your love of nature is so apparent, but the fact that you bring us with well that's just awsome. Your videos are very similar to another artist I very much enjoy, he goes by the name Trollsky. I am a knife maker in the USA and have always loved watching his videos of his knife making because of the wonderful feeling ease. I get the same relaxing feeling from your videos. Thanks for bringing us along. Me being a knife maker I have been very curious about the knife you carry on your hip. I'd love to here about it in one of your videos sometime. Maybe show it off a little. Maybe you would accept a knife from me as a thankyou for your passion and your effort in bringing us along.
