    "THE FIRST THING FOR ME IS NOT TO GET THE PHOTO BUT BE HERE AS PART OF NATURE AND DON´T DISTURB"...... Where´s the "Applause" button here?

      You are awesome man.
      U don't want to disturb the daily routine of the animals in any way. You more worrying about their life than that of taking good photo.
      Hats off man 🙏👌👌

    About 4 years late to the game, but just want to say how much I appreciate your respect for nature and wildlife. Your description of their behaviors and how to read their body language is really valuable for everyone to learn and be cognizant of. So thank you!

    Hello Morten, I have been following you for a month now watching your old videos. Learnt lot of lessons from you as a Photographer.
    My respect to you when you said that taking photo is not the first thing to do but to be with the nature. Inspirational.

    The moment when you lean over to take a better view of the Musk's in the Camera LCD, then realize you are behind your TV instead!

    Hi Morten. I came across your videos not long ago and watched them all in a blink of an eye. I couldn’t get enough. I find your videos to be very inspiring and make me want to do more outdoor adventures around the world. I love nature, traveling and photography and these videos shows it all. I particularly appreciate your respect for nature even in such a remote and harsh situation. I wish I could be there with you in one of these adventures, even though it looks quite challenging. You carry around a lot of gear and you make it looks like it’s nothing ... but I’m sure it’s something that adds to the difficulty of the situation. So, thanks for sharing this with us and if you’ll ever come to Italy I’ll by you a cup of coffee (which you seem to like quite a lot ;-)).

    normally i dont comment on videos , but yours are just so inspirational.
    I am used to rush from one task/activity to the next.. well even on hollidays.
    But you are just so relaxed, it feels like you are really in this moment and happy about the small things, like a cup of coffee.
    Everybody is talking about mindfulness these days. .. Just look and learn from Morten, that is all i need.
    Thank you for your videos!
    For me, they are way more then just entertaiment. They are a lesson and a way of life.

  • @Jimmy_Cavallo
    @Jimmy_Cavallo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love your connection with nature the way you prefer to be the quiet observer first as opposed to being the imposing instigator. This may be the greatest video of its type that I’ve seen. I hope that you receive an award for this. BRAVO...!!

  • @Master0fPuppets1oo

    Just discovered your channel and I love it. Its truely inspirational how you dedicated your life to nature and country, first as a soldier of special forces in Greenland which deserves my greatest respect and now as a magnificent Wildlife Photographer. I am very thankful for sharing your experiences with us. Its not hard to imagine how hard it is to stick to the second camera for vlogging while whitnessing such beautiful animals and landscapes. In October I am trekking through parts of Dovrefjell myself for 2 weeks and your videos increased my anticipation even more although I dont expect to see these beauties. I think, knowing that an encounter with these animals is possible to any time is enough excitement.
    Best greetings from Germany!

    • @MortenHilmer
      @MortenHilmer  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow, I am positive that you will have an amazing time in Doverfjell. The animals and the nature is just amazing. I hope to get back some time during the summer as well, and witness these great beasts on a totally different landscape to the snow covered one in winter. Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot to me to receive these 😊 have a great time on your trip!

    I enjoyed this more than any video I can remember. I love being out in nature by myself, listening to the birds and other creatures waking up, but would never consider taking on all the challenges that this trip involved - you have my utmost respect. I especially loved that you enjoyed and respected the Oxen so much. This was the first video I've seen on yours - I can't wait to see more.

    Your videos are so well put together! I love the music and the footage of the animals. You seem very genuine, and even the simple moments of coffee in the tent make me feel like I'm right there with you. Your enthusiasm for the animals and the scenery comes across great. I was laughing at the part when you went into the snow up to your knees, and was holding my breath during the musk ox duel. I was wondering if you got the chance to see the aurora, and then bam, there it was. Just an amazing video. I look forward to more!
