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.
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.
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! 👏🏻
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.
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.
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 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.
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 ☺️🌍
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.
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. 👍🏻
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.
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 🇨🇦 ❤️
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Erik, my wife and I really enjoy your videos on your TH-cam 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!
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
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.
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!
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. 🤗
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. 👍🏻🇨🇦
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
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!

They probably loved it as much as you but doing it to see if anyone comments on it

Thanks Glenn, the tent is Tarptent Notch. Atb
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!
Me three
well said .

It actually translates to "Äggnudlar", not too different.
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.
«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!
I have said it before this guy is one very interesting and one very cool bloke !! Great vid ✔✔✔
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! 👏🏻
Someone drove the bus out there, took the wheels with them and left 🤔 Makes perfect sense 😄 Good trip 👍
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.
Beauty. Perfectly composed shot at 0:36. Thank you Mr. Norman.

Great stuff. Fantastic camp too ⛺️
I find the remnants of many cars when I walk through many of my local woods, but a whole bus! An impressively baffling find 👏🏼👍🏼

Such a beautiful country, and such great filming, as always.
Once again, simple yet effective. Sound is key. Love your work.
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!

Great as usual Erik. Hi from New Zealand! :)

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 have loved all your videos for the last year since I found them when Lockdown started. Thank You Erik 👍
The sounds of nature, the beautiful scenery, a flat and joyful heart.
Beautiful swedish landscapes.
I'm always eager to enjoy your hiking, Erik. Awesome and many thanks~~
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 ;)

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
Just like the outdoors, your videos are amazing, Erik. Hard not to fall in love with nature. Hi from Belgium.
Beautiful scenery, great video, Erik. And the bus, makes the trip more adventurous feel 👍
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.
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.
Wonderful video as always. I enjoy the annotated maps very much. They give me an informed sense of the landscape that you explore.
I'd love to fly to your country just to walk the same trail. Awesome
Beautiful as always Erik! Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
I enjoyed this immensely! You found some beautiful places to camp!!
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!
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. 🤗
Absolutely beautiful adventure! Seems like possibly a new area for you Erik to explore. Thanks!
Best Erik vid of 2021...so far!
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. 👍🏻🇨🇦
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.
Very nice Erik !
Great video, as always. Looking forward to the next one already!
Your videos really inspire🙂👍 thanks for sharing
È un piacere vedere i filmati delle tue escursioni. Grazie Erik.
👍 .. 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
Fantastic Trail and interesting finds... out of place bus... and great nature. thank you for sharing this adventure
Awesome! I learned a lot from this, as always. Thanks, Erik!
Cup of coffee and hit play. Awesome start for the day. Thx Eric.
Another great trip. We can finally get back to some camping where I live now. My son and I are heading out soon!
Damn that bus in the middle of the woods was cool🤠
always very nice video ,thanks
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 ... 😀
Thank you, Erik!
Great video again! The bus is an oldtimer from the fifties or sixties.
Erik, I love your videos. Frank
MANY thanks for another beautiful video. Now my blood presseur is Ok again.
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.

Cool trip, great nature, fun memories!
I figured you as a guy who would roll up the cream cheese tube
Great content!
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
Kudos for crossing the river twice to show us how you do it 😁❤️
Thank you for your great Video.
Don’t get any ideas Clint about fixing that bus up and hitting the road...🤠
The best to you Erik

Very peaceful
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
I finally saw you using a canister stove
Härlig film 👌 Lagom liten vandring. Väldigt vacker natur ser det ut som 🙂
Tack Mattias! Ja ett trevligt område.
