What a masterpiece!
Fantastiskt välgjord film! Ser fram emot fler!
Tack Erik! Kul att höra det från en TH-cam-veteran som dig! :)
Eriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik
Hi Erik, how does it feel being called a "veteran"? 😁 Greetings Uwe
Your videos are soul food for me🙏 Thank you for it, Magnus.
I‘m absolute in love with the north.
Woooowww...fantastic
Thanks!
Simply Brilliant Video. You did so much hardwork to create such a masterpiece video. Love & Best Wishes for you ☺☺☺☺
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Wow
Thank you!
Your videos are a work of art! Thank you!
Thank you so much Chris!
‘But that’s the way it is in the mountains”. Great film!
Thanks Robin!
I admire your courage and determination.
Thank you very much Pawel!
När solen väl tittade frtam så är det ju magiskt!
Ja, det ögonblicken när ljuset stämmer som får en att komma tillbaka. Igen och igen. 😉
Inspirational footage of your beautiful country which is not to dissimilar in weather and landscape to my own country Scotland.
Irrespective of the weather an adventure is good for the soul and lives long in the memory.
Thanks! (Cheers!) :)
Helt underbart att kolla på. När man sitter fast i en större stad på ett kontorsjobb är detta som en helt annan värld.
Tack så mycket!!
Amazing! Wished you had better weather for your landscape photography ! Between you and Erik Normark I am truly blessed. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you very much for the kind comment. I’m glad you liked the video. Over the years I have gotten used to bad weather... 😉
Tack för filmen! Riktigt bra och vilken satsning av dig !
Tack - kul att höra att du gillade den!
Otroligt vackert och fint genomfört Magnus. Du presenterar Sverige från sin absolut bästa sida. Stort Tack!
Stort tack Tommy! Verkligen roligt att läsa din fina kommentar. 😀
Cool, I was in Padjelanta this August. Completely understand the weather, can have four seasons in one day. Great film.
Thank you Peter! I hope you had a great hike. Surely the weather can be pretty interesting ;)
By the way, what is the red tent that you are using?
It’s a Hilleberg Soulo. A great tent for serious conditions!
Magnus, we bumped into you this year when you were hiking towards Sarek from Kvikkjokk (chatted by a bridge on the river) - lovely film!
Hey Gustaf! Good to hear from you. And thanks for a nice chat by the river. Glad you enjoyed the film too. :)
This place is insane! Loved the narration
Really, really beautiful photography!
Thank you Axel!
Beautifully filmed ( and great photos.) Thank you from Northern California
Thank you!
Wow!! Another stunning video! Those photos werr worth the wait!!
Thank you very much!
Fantastisk film. återvänder själv dit med jämna mellanrum. Och de där ögonblicken är ju värt att vänta på. Eina bilder.
Stort tack för den fina kommentaren Henke! :)
Bra jobbat - både i Sarek och med filmen. Väldigt inspirerande
Tack Peter! Kul att höra att filmen inspirerar!
Thanks for sharing, amazingly beautiful and sincere!
Thank you so much Masja!
Världsklass på filmen! Editing, musik, ja allt. 👍👍👍
Stort tack! Det var stora ord. Jag är nybörjare på film... 🤫
@@MagnusLindbom Syns verkligen inte..
Tak Magnus, glæder mig til at opleve Nord Sverige så snart som muligt
Fint att höra! Tack själv!
amazing, thank you for sharing
Thanks Vincent!
This keeps me going during UK lockdown. Wow, just beautiful, the bad weather and the good. What I would do for this at the minute.....thank you!!
Thank you David! Glad to be able to give you a bit of the experience through the screen. Hopefully you will be out there soon again!
For those that know and respect the mountains, your video is great to just enjoy. Felt for you that the mist and rain got in the way of both your aims and photography quite a bit. But still some great views at the end. But as you say, a long time, and Sarek is so remote. But 30kg, wow! I have ski toured around the Sweden and Norway areas just to the North (around the North part of Kungsleden), and love that. But I have looked at the Sarek map, and would love to tour there. But with ski touring , I can take a small pulk for a lot of the weight! Thanks for making such a nice video.
Thank you Bill for the comment! Yes, ski touring can be somewhat easier but it depends on the snow conditions. I had to work pretty hard pulling the pulk in deep snow on my latest ski tour. ;)
Inspirational video and amazing shots, it really makes me want to go back to Padjalanta and Sarek for photography, not just a trekking! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Sander! I think when you hike with photography in mind your adventure becomes much different and it might take you to different places. That’s what I’ve experienced anyway! 😉
Each video from you is a work of art. Thank you for sharing all this with us.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
yes, that is the wild of Sarek! Your film tells wonderful the mood there, what you feel during a stay there. A fantastic film!
Thank you! So good to hear!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this video. I am English but I love your part of the world and will be coming back next year ( if the dreaded Covid 19 rules allow me to) hopefully to Sarek and Padjelanta. This video also did something for me on a profound level though. I've been hiking and trekking for a long time (I am 63 next Spring) both with a partner and on my own. When I've trekked alone I have felt lonely sometimes but I've never been able to admit to myself never mind to anyone else. Your honesty in this instance has made it possible for me to do this and so I thank you for this. Happy hiking and if I ever see you out in the mountains I'll offer you something I always bring with me from Scotland and which I carry in a flask!
Hi Kato! Thank you very much for the kind comment. Glad to hear that the film gave you something beyond the visuals. Sounds like I offer I wouldn't hesitate on - I love that stuff. ;)
This is amazing! Love every second! Goosebumps man! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Helena! 🙏
Hi Magnus, Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece. It looks absolutely stunning. Loving your optimism even tough the weather wasnt that great. Thanks again for sharing. Greetings from the netherlands, deen and alette
Thanks for this wonderful video. Great shots and well told. When we were young forty years ago, we also hiked in Padjelanta, muddus and Stora Sjöfallet. Your great videos are right there, we remember that time and our visits to Sweden. Many many greetings from Berlin / Germany from Sylvia and Chris
Many thanks for the kind words Sylvia and Chris. Glad you enjoy the videos. More are coming soon!
Hi Magnus. Deep respect for the huge effort you put into your filming and photography. The views on the lighted clouds from the peak were very dramatic. I guess, that is the reward for your patience out there. (By the way: 17 days alone in nature were a fantastic plan for this pandemie summer. I envy you.) In all I like the calm mood of your film very much, even the music - which often spoils other outdoor videos - is chosen sensitively. Good job.
Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated! :)
wow...
Kjempefin film Magnus! Veldig inspirerende og imponerende. SÅ mye arbeid😅
Så mange sterke bilder!
Gratulerer !
Tack Trym! Kul att höra! Man kan säga att förutom 17 dagar ensam i vildmarken så var det också 17 dagar ensam framför datorn med att klippa ihop det hela. 😉🙏
Thanks for sharing. Warm regards from Germany.
Thank you for watching!
Fantastiskt vackert!
Tack Jennifer!
Spectacular footage, and beautiful results, congrats, and keep up the excellent work
Thank you! :)
Brilliant video. You really have captured what it’s truly like to spend time alone in the wild.
Thank you Brian! I’m really glad to read that! 😀
This was a very beautiful and nice video.I love Sarek myself !!!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Hi Magnus! Great film and stunning images!
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it!
Riktigt bra film nu längtar man till Sarek
Tack för det - kul att höra! :)
Incredible mate. Well done. Epic journey.! 👍💪

great video
I'll be damned! What a well-made film, and I'll only discover it now, two month after publication. You have struck a good note: Beautiful images accompanied by a low-key narrative. I now look forward to watching more movies on your channel.
Thank you Thomas for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the film. I have released one more called "Ráhpa". And more is on the way! Thanks again!
Fantastiska filmer, underbara bilder. En njutning för själen.
Fantastic! This video conveys that mood I seek when hiking. After several days in the mountains, when you get into this flow like state, and it´s all about you and nature. I´m really looking forward to see your other videos.
Thank you very much Morten! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic video! the calm and relaxed atmosphere is very, very cool! Sarek and Padjelanta were already on my bucket list, but if I still had any doubts it will be gone after seeing this video! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and your photos are fantastic too! You look at things just like i do! tack så mycket !!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the film and photos! :) / Magnus
wow! Very nice scenery.
17 days means that you had to carry a lot of food.
Thanks! Yes. Approx 10 kg of food.
Wonderful photos! Lots of symmetry and balance. Good timing when clouds are in perfect geometry. Despite your trouble with fog and mist, the blend of sunshine and cloud creates amazing scenes. Close to Ansel Adams photography. Your Z gear seem to deliver. To be continued, we all hope!
Thanks a lot Pelle for your kind comment. I agree - sun and clouds (especially low ones) makes for interesting photography. Thanks!
Magiskt! Fantastiskt fint filmat och vilket jobb du lagt ner med tanke på att du går helt ensam.
Tack Anders! Man får välja sina platser lite att filma på - hade jag filmat hela vandringen hade jag ju gått tre gånger så långt! ;)
Mycket bra. En av de bättre Sarekfilmerna. Fortsätt så.
Tack Christer för den uppmuntrande kommentaren!
Amazing! Sarek and Padjelanta is fantastic, and this video catches the spirit and the soul of the mountains. I must return, and the video is telling me something: It has to be soon :-)
Thank you Thomas! Glad it could bring back some memories for you! :)
Beautiful video mate, enjoyed every second of it. What an adventure! And a 30kg backpack...wow, respect!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! At least a little over 12 kg were food so it lightened up a little day by day... ;)
Thanks for sharing Magnus. I didn't get to go on my trip to Sarek this year 2020 because of covid-19 so I hope to experience it next year in 2021. I really enjoyed your film. Just gave you a thumbs up and subscribed 👍. Keep up the nice work!
Thank you Brian! Glad you enjoyed the film - hopefully you can go out on your adventure next year!
Snyggt👏
Kul att se, fantastiskt fina bilder!
Tack Karl-Johan! Kul att höra! 😀
Sjukt grym video! Du förtjänar fler följare, och det kommer garanterat att komma!
Tack! Va kul att du tycker det! :)
Hi, I'm so interested in the sarek NP. Since a long time. I could say: a long dreaming target. So great stuff about this land. Deeply chapeau to you 🙏🙏👌
Hi Klaus! Thank you for the kind words. Hope you get over here some day! :)
Thanks for nice video 😀👍
What time of the season did you go?
Thank you! This was in July.
Great content. I love these kinds of videos. None of those speed ramping and teal/orange stuff. I'm planning to timelapse Kebnekaise next year for my channel. Stay safe bro!
Thank you Jerwin! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastiskt fin film och några helt magiska bilder. Skickligt gjort, tackar!
Tack för det! Det värmer att höra! :)
@@MagnusLindbom Kanske dela den i FB gruppen Sarek Nationalpark?
Om du vill får du gärna göra det. Annars ska jag se om jag kan gå med där! Bra förslag!
@@MagnusLindbom klart du ska gå med! Det är en fin grupp. Tycker du ska dela den. Men om du inte gör det så gör jag det.....fler behöver få se ju!!
Är det SAREK (delade upplevelser och tips) du menar?
Great film!
Thank you Petra! :)
Fantastiskt! bra jobbat!
Tack! Kul att höra!
Beautiful footage and very nice to watch!! Came across your channel through Peter (outdoorline)
Keep it up!
Thanks a lot! Will do! 😀
Helt fantastisk film!
Tack Niclas!
Fantastisk film, well done!
Tackar och bockar!
Beautiful scenery, photography, and music. I'm heading out on my own as well, although never as long as you (so far). There is something magical about being completely away from all human signs of life :)
Thanks a lot! Great to hear that you are enjoying the outdoors! :)
Great video! Too bad the weather was not the best but you can never know what it will be. It’s always a risk
Thanks you Roland! It always is ;)
Great video.
Thank you Jari!
Beautiful! Which peaks did you summit on your trek?
Thanks Maximilian! Tsähkok and Tsathsa to name a couple.
Greetings from Czechia. Wonderful video. In 2021 I was hiking in Sarek with my daugter and my cousin, in Sarvesvagge we met a man named Magnus. We were all wet after crossing Gaskavagge in heavy rain. Is it a pure coincidence?
Thank you Matej! No, it must have been another Magnus you met. ;)
Härligt att du gjort en lite längre film. Riktigt snyggt. Bra filmat, bra klippt, grymma bilder och skönt tempo.

Hej Matti! Tack för kommentaren. Superkul att du gillade filmen och upplägget. Det var helt klart en utmaning att göra något lite längre.
Jag har kollat på Patreon men valde att sätta upp en egen Supporter-sida på min hemsida. Det ger lite mer möjligheter i vad jag kan lägga upp och hur jag kan utforma det hela. Men tack för tipset, det uppskattas! 👍🙏

Fantastic masterpiece! Subscibed!!
Thank you Mahmoud! ”Masterpiece” that’s a big word! ;)
@@MagnusLindbom it is a masterpiece. For me you strike perfect balance when it comes to speaking. Not too much but I also prefer to hear what you are thinking and planning sometimes. Keep on doing these videos subscibers will follow😀 all the best from Finland
That is very kind of you to say! You know this is my first try with a longer video.... 🤫😉
Thanks for sharing this lovely film and photographs - quite an achievement! How did you manage to keep your camera batteries charged during such a long trip?
Yes, would like to know that too. Or did you fill the pack with batteries.
Hi Dominique! Thank you for the kind words. I just bring the amount of batteries I need. For two weeks I usually need 7 batteries for the GFX 50R and 4 for the XT-4. I do have a powerbank so I can top up the XT-4 if it runs low.
I have tried solar panel but even in the middle of summer it’s a lot of work to charge with.
Hi Miquel! You find the answer above!
Beautiful and peaceful video, shows well the photographer's waiting game that is different from just hiking. Thanks! And still images were pretty, regardless of mist trying to bother you :) What was your route, by the way? I might have seen some familiar valleys.
Thanks! Really appreciate it. The route is a bit complicated to take here but I hiked Sarvesvagge to Louttolahko through Jiegnavagge to give you a hint.
@@MagnusLindbom Nah, not places that I have visited. The wide valley at one point looked a bit like Ruohtesvagge, but no.
exposedpaths No it’s not. But that is a beautiful valley as well! 👍
Grymt fin film! Ett lätt tryck på tumme upp och prenumerera.
Tusen tack Emil - va roligt att höra! Ny film kommer snart! :)
Technology-supported loneliness. The movie seems ot me a little artificial, but nice. I mean - for the sake of getting the picture of nature that meets some contemporary advertisement esthethics the nature itself gets over-interpreted. Note, that the raw wind sounds better than the characterless music and foggy, mysterious skies look better than just another crystal clean and candy landscape.
carrying 30kG is on mountain vs on flat land is totally different. Its like carrying 40kg on flat land even tho there is less gravitational pull. I remember hiking to my village back in nepal which stands around 2000M from the sea level. I have hiked to around 400 metre high mountain pass while searching for Cordycep seinesis and it was one of my best experiences ever.
Hi Palden! Thank you for the comment. As you say terrain and altitude makes a huge difference. There’s something about making your way up a mountain carrying heavy equipment. Your leg hurts but your soul is thirving right?!
@@MagnusLindbom so we had to carry over 30kg approx with the likes of foods, tents, weapon, blankets, cooking 🍳 etc so to climb upward its exhausting as hell, you are breathing in air 2 or 3 times in matter of a second. It feels kinda torturing carrying all those maybe its because I was only 16-17 years old.. but to be up there and set up camp and next day just to hike up higher towards 4500m again everyday is like death of motivation and hope when you get back to your rent after 8+ hours of hiking and collecting cordyceps...
@@Paldentseringsherpa I haven't been hiking higher than just above 2000 meters (highest mountains here in Sweden) so I can't really imagine how you feel at 4000 m+. Sounds like you experienced some hardships there but also a lot of good memories. Not uncommon that those two are linked together! ;)
Jäklar vilket välgjort klipp! Hatten av. Bara för mig att trycka på prenumerationsknappen
Tusen tack Johan! :)
Mycket fin film, härliga bilder, och du förmedlar stämningen, vidderna, tystnaden och ensamheten på ett speciellt sätt. Hur gick du ungefär?
Tack Alexander! Kul att du tycker det! När jag lämnade Padjelanta gick jag in i Sarek via Sarvesvagge och Jiegnavagge. Jag tillbringade mycket tid i trakterna kring Luohtolahko som du kan se i filmen.
Magnus Lindbom Kul! Jag var själv däromkring (framförallt Boarek och Luohtolahko) de två första veckorna i augusti. Mycket mindre snö och mycket bättre väder.
@@scribandi Härligt! Visst är det fina områden - platån är magisk! Jag tror att du nog hade det lite grönare än vad jag hade. Men det finns ju en skönhet i de mer sterila och snötäckta landskapen också! ;)
Superb! One of my dreams when this COVID crap ends. Maybe you should consider the Ultamid 2 instead ;)
Hi Cem! Thank you so much. You should. I actually have one as well as you can see in some of my previous and more simple videos! 😉🙏
@@MagnusLindbom will binge watch all ! One more question; why not considered the Ultamid2 for this trip and a heavier instead ? You don't feel confident for the Ultamid in harsh conditions ? I'm wondering because i want to do the same kind of trip and would love to have your feedback on experience.
Yeah, the first videos are pretty bad though. You know I’m a photographer dipping my feet into the film world. 😉
The UltaMid is a great tent but when camping on mountains in very exposed terrain I choose the Soulo. It is much easier to make a good pitch in that terrain and also the inner adds warmth and protection from sharp rocks.
Also one thing to know is that the longevity of a red or black label Hilleberg far exceeds any cuben fiber option.
Fin härlig film, men vad har du ex för kamera utrustning med dig? och hur laddar du batterierna?
Hej Niklas! Tack! Jag har en Fuji GFX 50R stillbildskamera och en Fuji XT-4 för filmning. Batterier tar jag med mig så har jag har tillräckligt. 11 totalt på en längre tur. Sen tar jag även med en powerbank så jag kan toppa upp om det skulle tryta.
Magiska scener.
Stort tack!
I would have filled that backpack with just food for 17 days never mind any other gear too! lol
Haha, I would have too if it weren’t for all the other gear! :)
What food do you take to last 2 and half weeks! I'd woukd starve haha
A lot of dry foods, nuts, chocolate. Approx. 700 grams per day.
Can we see northern lights in September?
Yes!
Thank you for your film! Very good video directing and excellent views! I am from Russia and also hike solo in wilderness. I would recommend you to have a look on a serie of films made by Marina Galkina - she is a world champion in rogaine. In 2018 she crossed alone Chukotka, this is a very far and wild region in north-east Russia, solo and without any technical help. It took her about 2.5 months for that. Her films are in Russian language, however they have English subtitiles. This film has 22 series. Here is a link: th-cam.com/play/PLHr86mB14qFlL1h6td-Zu-cGxOkC0-PvI.html Good luck to you in your trips and videos!
Hi Alex! Thanks and thanks for the suggestion. Will check out Marina. Take care!
Absolutely horrible. Could Not pay me to go there!
Me neither! ;)
The sound of the streams are waaaaaaaaay too loud. You turn up the volume to hear you talk then suddenly fucking earbleeding due to the loud noises.
