Your support helps make more videos. Thank you!
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
That sounds like a pretty good routine. I agree.
Would it be better routine to see the video and then go and have a solo trip also?
@@ARI-wc6xd Sure. If only free nature wasn't that far away.
A coffee ? Are you sure ?
Thumb up to that routine
It is incredible how you do it. You always managed to make the world look so beautiful and natural. Thanks
That's because it is!
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.
We’re looking forward to the Lourens and Evan videos of the future ☺️
Thank you very much Lourens, and to your son!
Wait? Your 4yr old son drinks coffee? ^^
I don't know how many times, but I think I have given Erik countless, silent thumbs up every time he drinks coffee!
Underbar film igen! Man blir inspirerad och längtar till fjällen igen.
Tack Paul!
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.
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.
Wow so beautiful place
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.
Thanks Ian. The straps didn't do a very good job, much water came in anyway! Yes with dry socks you just keep going.
@@erik_normark I cant afford to become a Patron but I'd happily make a one-off small donation to keep your wonderful work going. How could I do this? Can I donate into your Pay Pal account or something? I would guess that you wouldn't want to give your bank details and I can understand that.
@@wandering_not_lost Hi Ian, you can easily use Eriks PayPal Account for a single donation, you find the link under the video on top of the page. That is what I did before I became a Patreon.
Sir your one of my favorite RUclipsr right now 👍😁 love the content so much.
Thanks :)
You get me trought landscape where I can go, because my heart is not functionning well. That's why, with your videos, I can feel the tranquility, all the tinys sounds of nature the peacefull place where you walk... And that, it's priceless... Thank you Erik 🇫🇷
Lovely, as always! You compose the surroundings, details, sounds and you hiking etc. so smooth. Creates a really calm, peaceful mood 🙏 Beautiful area 😍
I agree and I would add that the selection of pictures and sequences has become more and more precise and expressive over the years.
Can't say this too often...great video....Thanks.
I adore the silence of the areas and Erik. Thank you for your silence. It speaks much louder than the words that you could have filled it with.
I just found your channel and have subscribed. Very enjoyable trip with beautiful scenery, with the peace and sounds of nature. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and will soon be kayaking and camping.
Beautiful lake and scenery . Thank you
I must say Erik, that you do a heck of a job filming and capture the beautiful sounds of nature! No jibbering about what you do, and what you´re going to do...just let the images speak for themselfs. Love that! You got my thumbs up och tack för att du delar med dig av dina äventyr.
Tack för det Magnus!
@@erik_normark hello good vieo
what brand of boots do you wear?
Absolutely love your videos. The way you capture the sounds of nature are amazing. The sound of water flowing down the stream, birds chirping, sound of wind... It's amazing. Thank you !
Having embraces watching RUclips over traditional television other than catching the news and current politics, you are still in my top three. Keep them coming.
Thanks Diane! :)
Just beautiful.
Beautiful country.
I missed u last week..sunday is empty without ur video ❤ love u Erik love From INDIA
Thanks. I have been lazy this summer! :D
Please visit my channel
There something about desert trekking
Korean Mountains are stunning too!♡♡❤🙋♀️
Love your videos. So peaceful and amazing views
After seeing this video I'm free from stress 😌
Now I know how looks the paradise
Thank you for the beauty.😉🇨🇦
Vilken trevlig vandring i en fantastiskt vacker natur. Mvh Lars-Göran...
Just wonderful Erik 😊
Thanks Tom!
You're so lucky to have places where few people go. Solitude is next to impossible in the Canadian Rockies during the summer. I definitely need to go to Sweden one day.
beautiful waterfall
muy bueno, como siempre, gracias Erik.
Niesamowite krajobrazy. A dźwięk... palce lizać.
Dzięki Erik. Twoje relacje są wspaniale satysfakcjonujące.
By far the most consistency epic adventurer. Little voice over was good. Thanks for your work.
You always make me feel like the only person on the planet! Surreal! Thank you!
so beautiful place!
Every time I watch your video, I start making plans in my head to go on a solo trip in the nature. This time I'm going to do it also! Thank you!
Awesome. Nothing like a little winter in August. Thank you, Erik.
You know that mountain stream is collllllldddddd!!! ❄ ❄ ❄
Amazing video Erik. Have a wonderful Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
The same to you Andreas, thanks!
Unos paisajes muy bonitos tremendo
wow... wonderful place...
..just..nice!!🤩👌
Lucky Guy....Nice country, beautiful landscape, nice video :)
After two days in the native forests, I watched Erik's last video again today. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that his films are less and less documenting the hike and drawing more and more a picture of nature and the emotions it can convey. The "technical" aspects of hiking (such as navigation, building a tent, fetching water, cooking, etc.) are only briefly indicated. Old Normark fans know about cowboy coffee anyway and why he takes what equipment, so you can abbreviate this (eg 7:50 ff).
On the other hand many sequences are visual poems, sunny and colorful (like 7:00) or cloudy-dark (like 5:09). Several times the romantic topos of the lonely wanderer is quoted, standing with his back to the viewer in front of a magnificent landscape. Compare (3:16 or 10:07) with Caspar David Friedrich's "Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer" (1817): pure romance.
And, yes, I like Erik's "music". Only a few tones, which give the mood in addition to the natural sounds also an acoustic level. (3:24 + 6:50).
I do not know if these videos can be called art, but they are damn close and certainly beautiful. Both thumbs up.
I love the way you spread the love by getting specific about Erik‘s touches of art in his films. I feel the same as you about that, and having studied Literary Criticism many moons ago, I always appreciate it when people stop to write more than just „Great“ or „Beautiful“, but rather go deeper into an artist‘s work. Isn‘t it great how such an anonymous thing as social media can connect us all in loving and caring for Mother Nature and appreciating one another? Also had to grin about the German painting you quoted, since I live in Germany (as an American expat).
@@scottbecker3485 Assuming that your question was not meant rhetorically, I want to answer it: Yes, I find it equally alien and touching how so many thousands of people around the world follow Erik's videos and exchange their thoughs. Sometimes I think we should all leave this digital illusory world as soon as possible, because only real nature conveys its beauty and peace. But again and again I find myself in front of the monitor to keep awake memories or to get inspiration for new tours. Or just for fun.
altewu Nice to connect with you on this. (And my question was open-ended, just in case you or somehow else cared to answer it.) I get you on wishing to ditch the digital in favor of the real, but I invite you to consider that the digital is every bit as real as the real as long as our hearts and souls get in tune with the vibration (energy) behind the media. It‘s all a question of how we immerse ourselves in something. If it touches us deep inside, who is to say that looking at a real tree or bush or meadow, ourselves, is energetically different from enjoying such beauty via the eyes of someone else? In the end, by loving Erik‘s videos, we are feeling connected to the natural world, and the natural world is desperately in need of people who do precisely that. And of course, if the feelings and longings we experience while watching an immersive video prompt us to get out and commune with nature more, then that‘s an added plus. :-) Speaking purely for myself, I‘ve been in very similar landscapes during a 5-day solo stealth camping hike through the Dovrefjell mountains of middle Norway. It was a religious experience. And watching Erik‘s videos reminds me of feelings had then. They all come rushing back in. This helps me to bridge the time gap until I can get back to the wilderness again.
@@scottbecker3485 Hi Scott, I had to think a while on your thesis: "[...] the digital is every bit as real as the real as long as our hearts and souls get in tune with the vibration (energy) behind the media." I can only answer in short terms, otherwise I (or we) will probably be kicked out of this comment area;)
- I am convinced, that art can convey a deeper, condensated truth about things than reality offers. But all we see in nature is what we put into it. Nature is not your enemy, that has to be overcome in summit victories, not the production area for agricultural goods, not our mother, to whose bosom we should flee back, it is what it is and doesn`t care for us. Only on a very basic level we cultural beings still are bound to it when we breathe, eat, drink, shit, die.
- The image of something is never equal to the thing itself. Being outside I put my whole existence into an natural environment, including all the inconveniences that come along with it: sunburn, mosquitoes, blisters on the feet etc. - which is totally unromantic. But I also enjoy the benefits: the physical effort pleases my body, I breathe good air, avoid electrosmog, alcohol and street noise - so I become fitter and happier every day. It is impossible to achive these effects by whatching a video. (That is why I said "illusory")
- About media: We gather and exchange via RUclips, which is part of the Google empire, one of the biggest money makers of our time. All our video views and searches are saved to lure us with better personalized ads. (How many commercials do you have to click away before you can see Erik's videos?) We can enjoy movies or dream of our own tours, we can discuss art and media questions, but we are constantly seduced to spend more time on RUclips by selected videos which I see to the right hand side just now. And finally we are supposed to spent money on travels, equipment or whatever, that's what the system was established for. And if I wouldn`t work, it would not exist any more.

Wow! It looks like your on top of the world up there, absolutely stunning scenery!
Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic
Love your treks man ,I'm inspired..thanks..

Mind blowing... beautiful place... thanks for giving us chance to see this amazing place...
Hi Erik. Greetings from Malaysia. Stunning scenery as always in your videos! So nice to be out in the open with nature all around - bliss :-) . Really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much for sharing.

Awesome place atb stuart
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.
Very beautiful and relaxing video.Thanks a lot !!!
Excellent, I wish I could have been there. Lovely views and that water looked very cold!
Absolutely Stunning!
Sempre magnifici! Grazie Erik.
Another beautifully crafted glimpse at a slice of your homeland. Thank you so much for sharing your trip in such an incredible way. Very well done. atb -Larry
이런 곳으로 백패킹 가는것이 꿈이네요
아주아주 아릅답군요
Love the videos!!! Pretty much ALL of them!
Gorgeous with compliments !!!!!
Excellent video. I love it when the scenery is allowed to do most of the talking. Thank you for taking us along.
Superb!
I always anticipate the thumbs up with the coffee! Thanks for the videos. God bless!
Very nice! Seems like ideal fresh location for spending summer ...
Thanks for another film
Pour le hamac, la toundra n'est pas l'idéal. Super vidéo!
Merci :)
Splendid
wow wow wow
Merci ! 😊
Nice one. Glad seeing you back after 3 weeks.
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.
Very glad to hear that, thanks! I agree about the map. This is about 340km from home
Lovely, thank you Erik.
Wow, mycket vackert! Starkt jobbat med både bild och ljud.
Tack Johan!
Erik wrap your tracking shoes including sole and legs to your knees before ford crossing with cling film (food wrap) and your legs will always be dry. Greetings from Crimea:)
Yes, I don't understand why he didn't take them off the cross the river? That's we we usually do.
thank to give me awesome visual
Nice! I was hoping you would dive deeper into the mountains this summer. Awesome shot of you fading into the fog! Edit: Wow! You’re not far from me! I didn’t realize that you were right on the Norwegian border. Gotta check that route out. 👍🏼
:-) You should, it's an interesting place! Thanks Gary
Belloooo, maravilloso, Erick, pura aventura y buena caminata, Elsa de Perú
Thank you Erik
C’est extra. Je suis inspiré par ce que je regarde, ça me motive à aller vers une vie plus sereine et équilibrée.
Cheers from France 🇫🇷🤙🏻🌱
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. ..
I like watching your videos very much.Greetings to you from Austria.
That was the best trekking video I watched. Congratulations on sharing these beautiful landscapes. health and success. Marcio - Sao Paulo - Brazil
Fiin video Erik 🤓👍 Gir meg mer og mer lyst til å komme meg ut i utmarka på fleredagersturer.
Ønsker deg en fin dag 🤓

Hi Erik from New Zealand, getting a feel for Northern Sweden, awesome sharp video enjoyed it to the last frame. Great sound, especially when the cloud came down on your high camp, I could hear the wind and vastness of that land. Being able to see your route on a topo map was a wonderful addition. John in NZ
Thanks John!
Great stuff.
Big thanks for New experience.
Comment from Thailand 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Top of your game ERIC.good times for you after the hard work.warm regard’s fl USA!
Thumbs up for your effort.
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.
no shitty "motivational" music here, what you did was amazing. that was the most peaceful 12 minutes of my life this month. thank you
Glad to hear that! Thanks
Love the map at the end, thank you for the video
Nice video 🙋🏻♂️
Great 👍
Wuauuuu......Tu siempre maravillando nos con esos entorno naturales...amo el senderismo y las montañas. Alejarme del mundanal ruido, y solo sentir la naturaleza. Me imagino que cuando te bañaste; esa agua estaba muy fría. Hace tiempo que no savia de tus vídeos....espero que este todo bien...hasta la próxima...
Thanks Vivian!
Great video Eric. Gives me a peaceful feeling. Would love to visit your country,I'm in USA,Virginia.
Excellent mate
