    With all the North American 'Thru-Hike' people all over RUclips banging on throughout the whole video about their 'baseload' and 'dry weight' and Dyneema products, it is incredibly refreshing to watch Erik's videos and just enjoy the incredible sights and sounds he captures so artfully. Erik encapsulates the thing I miss the most about living in Europe (I am an Aussie from Melbourne who lived in Germany for a few years), and that's the way Europeans just don't talk unless they truly need to, unlike North Americans who turn every video into a gear review or verbose opinion piece about the surrounding area. Additionally, Erik actually gets off the beaten path and uses a compass and topographic maps, unlike the North Americans who just 'thru-hike' down well-worn paths such as the Appalachian or Pacific Crest Trail - I've studied a few of the locations Erik has shared in the video description, and these places are no-joke locations NOT for the rookie hiker accustomed to paths and helpful signage along the way. A few of Erik's videos showcase treks that exceed 50km through tough terrain with no vehicle access, taking all of the food he needs for those 96-120 hours of trekking (fresh, drinkable water is plentiful in Sweden).

      Verlorener Junge he did a video on how he does his videos. He does have some pretty sweet equipment, but he also over dubs sounds, like when there is a shot of a river, he may add water sounds.
      Still, either way, you still have to know how to use the equipment, and have a talent for video.

The absence of a talking commentary really adds to the enjoyment of watching your experience, I feel I’m there alongside you. Thank you for the technical expertise and crafting of the videos and your love of Nature you share with us. And really like the ‘Signature’ “Morning Coffee” from yourself, that just adds to the enjoyment 😊👍 All the best, and Thankyou 😊 Ps. I’m a fellow hiker from Australia, your trips are very inspiring 👍
