I can't for the life of me think why anyone would want to thumbs-down any Erik Normark video. This content should be prescribed by the NHS here in the UK. Loved the wander, the nature, thoughts and slowing down. Many thanks Erik. ATB - Ben
Calm, slow, almost musicless videos... it is understandable that there are people who are not in the right frame of mind to understand this idiosyncrasy, and that they considered these experiences boring and meaningless. Maybe one day they will see them again. With different eyes.
Funny you should mention that: I found this channel while passing time during a five-week stint in hospital last year. It was perfect for settling the mind before going to sleep.
I am headed towards FINLAND..SWEDEN AND NORWAY for camping Canoeing...fishing solo..Your videos show the beauty of Your country and how to truly take youtime and enjoy MOTHER NATURE...I could taste the coffee at my home....cannot wait....ole ..what is the name of your single tent....
I can’t express how much I enjoy these videos. You’d think watching a bloke going for a hike and making a cup of coffee might get a bit samey but I find each one fascinating, the audio is excellent and really lifts the production values above any similar content providers. The suspense over wether or not you will speak makes me pay attention when you do, which is just as well as it’s always about something worthwhile. And then there’s great information like the naming of flora and fauna and giving the translation which are really nice touches (although I was disappointed there wasn’t a translation for ‘egg noodles’, made me chuckle anyway). Thank you for doing what you do.
There's no big mountains or crystal clear streams. Striking buttes or deep canyons, but I still feel strangely attracted to...everything about this video. It just puts me at ease, like this is where I belong. Cheers from Texas swamp country.
Absolutely loving the content! I’ve followed your adventures since lockdown and u are an absolute National Treasure and great ambassador for the outdoors and indeed Sweden! Love u man! 👏🏻
What a nice trek! It’s always nice to go off trail and explore when you can. The second campsite by the water was great! Must have been nice to listening to running water in the evening! Filming was exceptional as always!
I swear that tent looks like a Tarptent based on the end vents. And the colors. Never seen that pad b4 but looks very comfortable !!!!. The bus reminds me of so oddities I have run into. Thing's that make you go hmmm 🧐🤗 Maybe once upon a time there was a road closer and somebody decided to make that their summer hangout campout area their little getaway. Who knows just one of those mysteries. Thanks Eric 😊 Peace and keep on rocking the free world ☺️🌍
I may have said this before, but I thoroughly enjoy how you edit your videos so that you make our eyes _hear_ , and make our ears _see_ what you are experiencing. (And yes, people...I wrote that *exactly* as I intended to write it.🙂) I’m also glad to see you using an aluminum windscreen/heat guide to conserve fuel and shorten your required cook time. I don’t understand why I don’t see more outdoor YT channels doing this, and instead just letting a lot of the heat escape when using this type of gas hiking stove, thus requiring more time and fuel to cook their food/make coffee etc.
It seems such a shame that anyone would watch one of these films and give it a thumbs down. Those who have should go for a long walk in the woods. Thank you Erik for the journey.
It is not about the miles but about the experience.. I'd be perfectly happy wandering about up there for a week and just do some loops. Maybe stay a day at one spot. Get a feel for the place.. I would have no problem finding a good hammock spot I see. Amazing how much space there is.. few roads, nothing else but woods, swamp, stone, river and animals.. Thanks, a good watch.
Erik ...probably is the purest form of a hiker. He never overlap the sound of nature in his every vlog without any nonsense. He is simply the best. Thank's Erik.
Another nice location If these trails were over promoted they would be over used. It’s nice that there are shelters on long the way See you again in the next video and take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
I would love to go on a trek with you....I would not spoil the adventure by talking. 😃 peacefulness of nature! Thank you for your videos. Truly love them. From Colorado, USA.
And here I am, thumbs upping back like a numpty! And you know you’re doing it too! But it’s hard, if not impossible, not to like Eric. Plus he has a perfect backdrop. That’s on my list for when retirement happens. Thanks, Eric - great, calming watch. 👍🏻
Beautiful beautiful beautiful time of the year. I especially like it when you go off trail. In the US we call it bushwhacking. Peaceful no people , Only the forest and you. You do have to have pretty good compass skills and or a GPS. Best of life watching from the USA
Just found your channel in the last few days Erik - absolutely love it. John Denver wrote in Rocky Mountain high " Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake" Your videos and approach seem to embody the words above. Found myself even saluting and giving a thumbs up to nothing and no-one into the quite morning at my solo campsite (well apart from my two dogs) when I sipped my first coffee at 5AM on my own slightly shinier Trangia 27 kettle. Wishing you many great trips this year and in all the seasons ahead of us all.
Indeed. I always watch his videos and can easily imagine they’re shot in our own UP - such similar terrain. Even that old bus, we’ve got our own share of abandoned cars in the woods, including the one along the NCT in Pictured Rocks.
Erik, my wife and I really enjoy your videos on your RUclips channel. We always look forward to your next one. It would be a lot of fun to see a video of you at home maybe preparing for your next trip. Would let us get to know you a little more. Just a viewers thoughts. Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us!
Thank you for sharing your great adventure, since I follow you, every time is a magic hike with nature!!👍like you i enjoy beautiful nature in my country🇨🇦, just the sound of water 💦 is relaxing, thank Eric , i can’t wait your next adventure!!!👍💪🤙😜. Very nice video.
Gorgeous nature and atmosphere with video. Greetings from Finland. I will return to the wilderness to make a nature document. Urho Kekkonen National Park in Finland.
Excellent video. Reminds me of a twelve day camp in the Coloredo Rockies I did. Beautiful raw scenery. A person finds out when in the bush that you can live and survive with a lot less.
hello, greetings from romania, I just want to say you became a big inspiration for me to go hiking alone in nature, thank you erik for the big moral boost
Hello 👋 Erik, sincere thanks for sharing another amazing video. Your videos are certainly a welcome breakaway from the harsh realities that are going on in the world today. The very best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
Thank you Erik for mastering the tranquility of the nature with professionally controlled outdooring! It looks so easy, but contains years of experience. Greetings from Finland /Janne (Mr) - have a great week ahead!
Well, that was..... perfect. Just perfect. Some narration and explanation, awesome footage, great sound, and a morning coffee thumbs up! ☕👍🏻 Does it get any better? Thanks for sharing your trip with us. 👍🏻🇨🇦
When I saw the bus , I tought about the movie " into the wild " , wonder what was the story of this bus ... Are the mosquitoes bad now are just starting ? Thank's Erik
@@erik_normark I could be on to something with Mosquito prevention. Maybe not. I have been wearing long sleeve 'Copper Compression' workout shirts when I hike to help me with my Asthma in this time of Covid-19. I notice the Mosquitos leave me alone...just go for my exposed hands. But I am in WA state not Alaska or Sweden. Some of my shirts are copper/zinc weaves.
at the coffee moment i was waiting for your thumb more than you were waiting for mine. in other news ive just come back from a 5500km trip around sweden. starting from karlskrona, driving thru the gravel roads, ending up in abisko/riksgränsen and then back to poland. Cool trip, great nature, fun memories!
It would be very interesting if you could make a video about nutrition. Which food is good to take with you. Which food gives you enough energy. And what food can you take with you if you want to save weight. And what food can you take with you in summer if you can't keep it cold? So many questions ... 😀
Hi! Erik Nice to meet you here once again. The bus " INTO THE WILD" Happiness is all around you, nature and peaceful and l like eat egg noodles. I'm learning English and l'm going to go to your country by my self. May be I'll try. I hope someday. Amonpoun from Thailand
I thought you were going to walk 125 Klm. I looked online, it stated the Nasaleden was a long trail. Everything looked rather soggy. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
The bus was a treat. What an unexpected finding. To bad the roof had caved in. Who put it there and why? It looked stripped from all expensive/useful parts, isn't? Thought I had missed the holy moment. But it came. Tack för filmen.
A really fantastic video. Because of your camera quality or video skill, your cinema looks and sounds so impressive on large screens. Nobody does 'ambience' like you do. It's like watching Clint Eastwood and Henry David Thoreau directed by Francis Ford Coppola (Sorry for the American references...)

@@Ivaneck_ so true 👍🏽
They probably loved it as much as you but doing it to see if anyone comments on it
Funny you should mention that: I found this channel while passing time during a five-week stint in hospital last year. It was perfect for settling the mind before going to sleep.
The Swedish tourist board should be funding these. When international travel is back to normal I'm definitely coming for a hike. ☕👍 from UK.
Me too!

It actually translates to "Äggnudlar", not too different.
I have said it before this guy is one very interesting and one very cool bloke !! Great vid ✔✔✔
«Stickmygga» ... now that's an onomatopoeia if ever there was one. Perfectly describes the mosquito action & reaction dynamic.
Wow, that's a mouth full !! 😂😅😳 LoL
You have captured the true spirit of hiking and being in the nature! Greetings from Finland!

Thank you for taking us on your Fab adventures erik
Someone drove the bus out there, took the wheels with them and left 🤔 Makes perfect sense 😄 Good trip 👍
I find the remnants of many cars when I walk through many of my local woods, but a whole bus! An impressively baffling find 👏🏼👍🏼
Thank you for sharing these videos, Erik. 🙂☕👍

What a way to start the day... A cup of coffee and a video from Erik! 💖☕☕💖
Hello from Michigan in the United States! 😊
I agree Alex. Breakfast, coffee and a video from Eric is relaxing.
What a small world the internet is, I'm in Michigan too!

As always a great video and Beautiful nature. Looks like a Very Nice led.😃
I very much enjoy following your travels in the beautiful Swedish countryside.
Gorgeous nature and atmosphere with video. Greetings from Finland. I will return to the wilderness to make a nature document. Urho Kekkonen National Park in Finland.
thought about into the wild when i saw this wow , very cool .. and good your talking a bit through this one always great Erik thanks again.....
What a great area to hike and camp in. One additional item to the pack I would have to add. A fishing rod , that is some good looking water.
A beautiful hike...and yes, I know the feeling of sadness when a hike comes to the end...thanks for sharing! And ATB. Look forward to your next video.
I'd love to fly to your country just to walk the same trail. Awesome
Such a beautiful country, and such great filming, as always.
The sounds of nature, the beautiful scenery, a flat and joyful heart.
Excellent video. Reminds me of a twelve day camp in the Coloredo Rockies I did. Beautiful raw scenery. A person finds out when in the bush that you can live and survive with a lot less.
Just like the outdoors, your videos are amazing, Erik. Hard not to fall in love with nature. Hi from Belgium.
hello, greetings from romania, I just want to say you became a big inspiration for me to go hiking alone in nature, thank you erik for the big moral boost
Beautiful video as allways Erik. Nice to see some green leafs up north! 🌿🌿🌿
Once again, simple yet effective. Sound is key. Love your work.
Thanks for your films for all the effort you put in. They help too keep sane when one lives in exile here in Skåne miss the homeland.
I have loved all your videos for the last year since I found them when Lockdown started. Thank You Erik 👍
Great as usual Erik. Hi from New Zealand! :)
Hello 👋 Erik, sincere thanks for sharing another amazing video. Your videos are certainly a welcome breakaway from the harsh realities that are going on in the world today. The very best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
Great video and inspiration to get out hiking no matter the weather.
Beautiful scenery, great video, Erik. And the bus, makes the trip more adventurous feel 👍

I'm always eager to enjoy your hiking, Erik. Awesome and many thanks~~
Beautiful as always Erik! Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
When I saw the bus , I tought about the movie " into the wild " , wonder what was the story of this bus ... Are the mosquitoes bad now are just starting ? Thank's Erik
That was my first thought as well. The Swedish version of Into the Wild.
I thought that too!
@@kennyobrien I don't see Erik going hungry and without coffee :-)
Mosquitos are just starting up ;)
@@erik_normark I could be on to something with Mosquito prevention. Maybe not.

Beautiful, soothing to my soul. Thank you for your work. :)

Wonderful video as always. I enjoy the annotated maps very much. They give me an informed sense of the landscape that you explore.
È un piacere vedere i filmati delle tue escursioni. Grazie Erik.
Very enjoyable as always. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Great video again! The bus is an oldtimer from the fifties or sixties.
Another great trip. We can finally get back to some camping where I live now. My son and I are heading out soon!
I enjoyed this immensely! You found some beautiful places to camp!!
Fantastic Trail and interesting finds... out of place bus... and great nature. thank you for sharing this adventure
👍 .. nice Erik .. thanks for sharing 😊.
Now that Bus .. hmm .. I bet that it could tell us a story or two ..
Take care ..
Yes I hope one day someone will tell me the story! Thanks Thomas
It would be very interesting if you could make a video about nutrition. Which food is good to take with you. Which food gives you enough energy. And what food can you take with you if you want to save weight. And what food can you take with you in summer if you can't keep it cold?
So many questions ... 😀
Great video, as always. Looking forward to the next one already!
Awesome! I learned a lot from this, as always. Thanks, Erik!
Don’t get any ideas Clint about fixing that bus up and hitting the road...🤠
The best to you Erik
New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
Cup of coffee and hit play. Awesome start for the day. Thx Eric.
Hi! Erik Nice to meet you here once again. The bus " INTO THE WILD"
Happiness is all around you, nature and peaceful and l like eat egg noodles.
I'm learning English and l'm going to go to your country by my self. May be I'll try.
I hope someday.

Best Erik vid of 2021...so far!

Excellent Erik. I have to wonder how that bus managed to get there!!!
when I saw the bus - "into the wild".......Perfect film as always, thank you Erik
Your videos really inspire🙂👍 thanks for sharing
Thank you, Erik!
MANY thanks for another beautiful video. Now my blood presseur is Ok again.
always very nice video ,thanks
I thought you were going to walk 125 Klm. I looked online, it stated the Nasaleden was a long trail. Everything looked rather soggy. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Missed your 👍on your coffee;-) For your first cup.
Erik, thanks for the idea of adding pre-cooked bacon to the Ramen noodles..noodles are a staple when I go camping
Damn that bus in the middle of the woods was cool🤠
I figured you as a guy who would roll up the cream cheese tube
Great content!
The bus was a treat. What an unexpected finding. To bad the roof had caved in. Who put it there and why? It looked stripped from all expensive/useful parts, isn't?
Thought I had missed the holy moment. But it came.
Tack för filmen.
These videos just make my week.
Very cool Erik. .👌im sure i've said it before but this ones my favorite video thus far ✌ thanks
A really fantastic video. Because of your camera quality or video skill, your cinema looks and sounds so impressive on large screens. Nobody does 'ambience' like you do. It's like watching Clint Eastwood and Henry David Thoreau directed by Francis Ford Coppola (Sorry for the American references...)
I finally saw you using a canister stove
this is art
Thank you for your great Video.
Kudos for crossing the river twice to show us how you do it 😁❤️
Very nice Erik !
Ahhhhhhhh...hj vc não deu o clássico joinha na hora do café, fiquei esperando!
Não deve ter ficado bom! 🤣
