Your support helps make more videos. Thank you!
I don't need to even see the video before I like it. Nothing compares to a hike documented by Erik... I show your videos to all my friends who are into hiking, and I've bought equipment based on seeing you use it. I will walk 160km through the Tasmanian winter wilderness next month after many months of inspiration from your videos...
I'm also going to Himalayas next week at 15000ft for 7 days inspired by Erik. Good luck to your adventure
Be careful dude, your first trip being a 160km journey in freezing temperatures can end horribly if you don't prepare enough. Nature is no joke. It may be smart to bring some of your friends ;)
@@stormyboy129 I grew up in that Tasmanian wilderness in a house with no heating.. It's not my first long distance hike, my first was walking almost 700km solo through the Armenian and Georgian mountains during the winter in 2015.. My second long distance hike was 220km through the Australian desert on the Larapinta Trail in the searing heat of November..
@@Funkteon Oh okay, my bad dude, have fun!
It is not easy to capture the majesty and power of mountains and rivers and also the delicate beauty of birds and flowers on video, but each frame here is a jewel. The skill in capturing these I believe lies is being bold enough to allow an image to breathe (so many you tubers cram in so much visual narrative), whilst the sounds broaden and deepen the experience. Thank you for taking us on your tour. PS the boulder field looks energy-sapping and relentless to traverse!
Absolutely incredible. It's hard to believe such beautiful places exist.
The American West, Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon. GearForHere, you need to get out more often!
Yeah northern sweden is amazing
@@frednorman1 I'm not from the states. I'm sure it's nice but under current restrictions yeah nah.
Beautifully crafted film. I was intrigued to see the boulder field because I was warned about it when I passed that way coming from the west. I chose not to go that way because it was very wet. Instead I climbed up onto the mountain and crossed Skierfe. Thank you for sharing your hike in such a peaceful and beautiful way.
In a word: Spectacular.
This is exceptional. Not sure what I like most, the socks or the scenery. Didn’t want it to end! Then, the mosquitoes… oooh
Mosquitoes are monsters in Glacier N. P. , Montana .... enjoy !
That`s what we expect from nature features - natural sounds basic visual informations silence and impressing visions - Great Erik... was at Rapadalen 45 years ago and could feel the vibes
I will never have the chance to hike Sarek NP-so it is nice of you to bring me along. Tack så mycket!🙏🏻
This is a breathtaking film. Excellent quality. Absolutely top notch!
Scenery looking otherworldly
Another fantastic trip.
Thank you for this wonderful report of your hike. You took great pictures. Many, many thanks from Germany. When we were young we also hiked in Lapland a lot. Stora Sjöfallet, Muddus, Padjelanta. Unfortunately never in Rapadalen. Many greetings from Berlin / Germany from Sylvia and Chris
what a trip!!! thank you for take us with you.
What a stunning country we get to see when you take us along. It's Scotland on steriods. Fantastic.
Once again great content, beautiful scenery and mountain serenity. Erik-you’re a great ambassador for Sweden and its natural wonders
That was magical. There is something special and mysterious about Sarek and these surrounding areas. Something mysterious, raw, powerful. Thanks so much.
❤️ this, of course. I think the ravens hollering is one of my favorite sounds of all my own trips here in Minnesota.
I really dig these ambient nature vibes.
Very beautiful, interesting and inspired vídeo!!
Congratulations!!
Thanks a lot!!
Best wishes!! 🙏💐😊
From Cambodia 🇰🇭, I really love Sweden 🇸🇪
awe yes, the long awaited and highly requested "long video"; you pulled it off! Thank you man!!!
That image with the colourful stone is insane
You are so blessed to be able to camp out at some of the most beautiful places in lapland
Thank you for taking me to places I can only dream about. Loved the close-up shots of the alpine flowers. Walk-on ❤.
incredible hike and views. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you :)
Erik, am a fan and patreon for quite a while now, and it feels like a short storyteller writer comes up with the novel so amazing and wonderful, almost as if a month or a year of your light day trips or overnighters were steps in your building, and such a video finishes another story of the building. Huge thanks!
Thanks Michael, very glad for your comment!
Looks like a nice area, great relaxed video 👍 nice to have the names of flowers etc
Big thanks Erik! Fantastic film! Sarek is truly the last great wilderness in Western Europe. Fantastic unspoiled nature!
Stunning landscape. Peace and adventure combined. Thanks Erik. Great video.
From mosquitos to snow!
Beautiful landscape and beautifully filmed
Such a variety of terrain. It looks like your boots are waterproof..
A very calm video and I like how you identify the plants
Take care ..🇨🇦 ❤️
Absolutely fantastic. I had 3 jaw-drops: waterfall, valley vista view and the moose calves. What a brutal and yet majestic landscape. Thanks Erik.
Erik, not only are you super talented at working with the camera and sound and you're a great adventurer. Your greatest superpower is to be able to choose the best places for camping with the very best view of the surroundings. Thank you for each of your videos, it must be an incredible experience, being alone in nature for six days. 🌲🏔️⛰️🏕️❤️
very well put together. enjoyed it very much. thanks a lot for taking us with on this trip :-)
Trying to avoid gushy words... . Oh Erik, that was so beautiful, your country is visually surperb! And you forded streams, clamboured rocks and dense trails to bring this to the world. "Wow, wow, Wow!" was all I said! Thankyou Erik. God bless. Cheers from, Qld Australia 🇭🇲🐞
A very cool release. I watched with a feeling of nostalgia for Sarek. Was there once. Amazing place. It was perhaps the hardest trip in my life - thousands of mosquitoes, heat, swamps into which my leg fell knee-deep. Dwarf birches constantly interfered with walking.
Once I saw a lonely traveler on the other side of a small gorge. Maybe it was you)). Or maybe not. The place I want to come back to again.
One of your best videos Erik. The physical challenges for you and your equipment came through. Thanks.
Thanks Ned! Atb
Posti magnifici! Grazie Erik!
Always the change of scenery with you Erik, thank you for making us dream. 😊💚👍
Man . Hard work for the best spots . Awesome .
This is one of my new favourites. I have been following your channel for about 18 months now...this is not only an impressive trip, but the production is super professional. And the coffee thumbs-up in the rain was funny!
Another excellent video. Beautiful scenery and some really good camping spots. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Your my favorite shhhhh don't tell the other youtubers. In all seriousness,
you film your trips beautifully my friend. I always enjoy your videos and can't wait for the next one.
Tolle Tour, einmalige, fantastische Landschaft, gut gemachtes Video! Ein schon älterer Nordlandfan aus Österreich.
AN UNBELIEVABLE PARADISE
Yea , you have truly done it this time ...
THE MAJESTY OF ALMIGHTY GOD REVEALED IN HIS NATURE ...
Your video of your trip is spectacular, world class the way you have captured everything. Thank you.
The moose with the two calves must have been like the cerry on top.... great video. 👍🏼
The view at 18:00 is absolutly spectacular!
Erik, Thankyou for sharing yet another epic experience. What a delight to be part of this incredible outdoor adventure. You are the best!
Thank you much for Showing. Never saw Nammaj from the side and behind in 1968. Great scenery on the Boulder Track. Amazing to Drink a crystal clear water everywhere.
With out a doudt one of the best TH-camrs. Thank you Eric for returning me to my happy place through your fantastic productions. Can't wait to get back into the mountains of the North.
This video is so beautiful, it touches my soul.
Ibland är det kul och utmanande att packa lätt. Alltid känt för min egen del att "minimala"-turer både i skog och ute på havet ger mest erfarenhet. Fast ibland är det gott att lyxa till det... Grym video som vanligt Erik, du får min tumme upp!
Tack för det Magnus! :)
12:18 Wow what an incredible spot to spend the night!
Always beautiful view, always calm energy, thank you for posting. This has been such a great support during pandemic lockdown
The best most enjoyable video. Those bugs though… 😳😲😜
What a film, what a wilderness! I'd like every political leader in the world to watch a video like this every week, as part of their official duties. I especially appreciate you identifying the flora and fauna shown in the film. On a lighter note, I'd like to make a video, 'Coffee drinkers in the wilderness', feauring you and Harmen Hoek making and savouring black coffee against immense views. You could both sit silently on opposing crags of a deep post-glacial valley. Thanks from Roy in England.
So perfect harmony of nature and a moose with 2 moosebabies in 16:39. Thank you.
The best video ever! Great filming and editing. Loved every second of it. The stills are pieces of art. Thx for taking us along on this adventure.
so nice Pictures form Rapadalen. I hiked in this area 5 jears ago and I missed it so much. But next year in September.....
I love the rain. specially your rainy episode..more rainy episode
Härligt perspektiv på ett populärt vandringsmål.
Very peaceful and fantastic scenery Eric. 👍
What an amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing it and making such a beautiful video.
Phenomenal work, Erik. That place, Rapadalen, is overwhelming in beauty and scope. Thank-you as ever and always.
Thank you for this beautiful film!
Beautiful. Hiking in Sarek, the dream of so many hikers. Impressive landscape that looks even more majestic thanks to your understated, almost laconic storytelling style.
What a beautiful hike, full of colors and sounds of nature with exquisite ambience! Erik, your tough looks so easy, that is truly your gift and talent which is so precious to be shared. Your nature work makes a difference! Thanks again, and enjoy your week, Greetings from Finland
The "Perfect" video to watch on a sweltering hot day in the desert. I feel cooler already.
fantastic video...no talk, the photage said it all. Very well done
Another marvelous contribution, thanks Erik...
Wow Sir that's the real hiking feel the Nature.
You are awful brave to hike alone like that. I heard that Sweden has some of the purest natural drinking water in the world. Your dip in the stream made me thirsty. I have been to Stockholm many yrs ago. I bet it has changed considerably. Take care.
Underbart filmat igen!!! Försöker planera en liknande trip i september, kanske lite enklare väg men med Skierfe och utsikt över Rapadalen. Precis dessa vyer jag skulle vilja uppleva. Ännu mer taggad komma iväg nu! 10/10 och likad innan jag ens började se avsnittet då dina filmer alltid är topnotch!
Superb video with great scenery. Sure was good to see the Moose with the 2 little ones
Hello Erik, sincere thanks for sharing another fine video presentation. You filmed such beautiful landscape. All the best to you. Stay safe out there.
🤗
Wow. Spectacular country.
12:20. Your on the top of the world! Absolutely beautiful man!
Yours give me the wide open expanse that I experienced in the town of "Hatgal" in northern Outer Mongolia. The big sky and the expanse that makes one feel different than in any other setting. It gave me the sense of eternity and of God (Bible) and what I'm looking forward to at some future time. Thanks Erik ... for all that went into making such a video. You have done well.
Alltså, vilken tur. Helt magisk
Tack för dina fina videor ; fantastik
Incredible views, both of the wide vistas and the smallest details! As always in your videos, the fantastic sounds of nature make you feel like you are right there!
Erik - This is perhaps the best film you've made so far. Breathtaking! Thank you so much. Jag har kollat och kollat om du lagt ut nåt nytt men det har inte kommit nåt, förrän nu. Jag blev lite orolig ett tag men nu förstår jag varför. Återigen Tack och man blir såååå sugen att komma ut :)
Once again great content, beautiful scenery, and mountain serenity. Erik-you’re a great ambassador for Sweden and its natural wonders 👍😊
each shot was full of beauty!
Absolutely beautiful Erik, thank you for posting this ❤️
Thank you, once again, for sharing your experiences of the natural world. The stark beauty is soothing and refreshing. Your talent is exceptional.
Vilken tur! Det är en fantastisk natur där och du lyckades verkligen porträttera det i filmen. Riktigt snyggt!
Kul att höra, tack! :) Det är tacksamt att filma på såna vackra platser.
Amazing views and I really enjoyed the map review at the end which puts everything we saw in context.
To describe my feelings totally would be way to long. But, I do have to say this was so beautiful in many ways. Really touched me as I am not able to do any hiking for awhile. You have a gift! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us all. I am sure each one of us would love to be right there with you but that would spoil the Magnificence of it all for you. Alone captures every breathtaking moment. We will be waiting for your next amazing video.
Really beautiful film of an intense adventure. Incredible! Inspires me to create more films like this.
As always, top quality film making. Thank you, Erik. I liked that you showed that split rock from the ground and from overhead. 🙂☕👍
Great video….perfect “ day in the life” of Erik Normark in an amazing location! We get the best of everything…..Erik living/camping, beautiful scenery and education!
I love the longer films! ❤️
I've been waiting ages for another 25-minute Erik backpacking trip. Spectacular, as always.
Beautiful. But the bugs man... would drive me nuts!
Going there myself in 6 days, so thrillef!
Nice video, as always.
I especially liked the part at the end with the map, where you explained a little where you went and about the terrain.
11:08 - а ты ходок! ...))
11:56 - Вау! - отличный вид из палатки!!!)
19:39 - божественно!
11:55 absulately fantastic ! well done Erik for that amazing shot and tone with it.
Nice, light pack! Smart! Love the boots. Wonderful journey, thank you! 👍😏🇨🇦👍👍👍☕🌲🌲🌲
Excellent video! A demi paradise.
