    Can see that this video is 4 years ago. Just watched it in Feb 2023.
    Amazing what a lack of talking can communicate.
    Enjoy the various ecology at different elevations.
    Thanks for the tour Eric.

    @mikelazure7462 4 года назад +7

    So much to love about this movie Eric. Just one of the many - the way you use the soundtrack to tell the story with finesse, letting the soundtrack carry the narrative a little further even after the imagery has moved onto the next part, or the other way around, sound happening before we see the significance of the sound. Clearly you think a lot about how to put your movies together - high quality thinking.

    Once, somewhere in Scandinavia, I experienced the same. I stuck my head out of the tent and saw on top of some low trees a rödbena (redshank, tringa totanus) giving an endless stream of shrill alarm calls. Good memories. Now it was your turn.

    You look like a character from Tarkovsky's cinema, And if you don't know, this is a compliment. Love your work, it's special. Highlights for me: insect on snow, sound muting after you put on glasses, tent near river and you sitting nearby.

    Seriously though, fantastic video. Sarek really is one heck of a majestic place and the wordlessness of the video makes that come through better. I know I'm late to the party here, but you really are one of the very best nature/wildlife filmmakers on the tube.

Whilst I love my local Peak District , I dream of places like Sarek and your beautiful video has made it all the more real for me.

    BTW, I bought the Dyneema version of the Tarptent Notch that you have. It's the Notch Li and weighs 20 oz. I have the silnylon Tarptent Moment DW and have used it for years so I think I'll like the Notch Li as well.
