There is absolutely pure Zen experience with all of your videos. Keep them up! Thank you!

Cool sharing ❤️❤️❤️! Lot of love and respect from a solo silent mountain hiker from the Hindu Kush Mountains Lower Chitral District of Pakistan! Aalaa! Zabardast!

There's something about the sound of the wind whispering thru the pines that is so transcending. Thanx ERIK.!!

So serene, pure bliss, a Sunday prayer. Thank you 🙏

Great information on a beautiful late winter day! Thanks Erik

I totally agree with your choice of binoculars. Having worked in a specialist optical retail outlet, I was able to compare many different binoculars. The 8x32 are definitely the best option - light enough to carry all day, only very slightly less bright than 8x42, brighter than 10x42 and much easier to hold without shake and a wider field of view than either of the 42s. I was torn between Leica and Swarovsk, but in poor light the Sarovskis were far better than the Leicas. The only downside is the exorbitant price, which of couse allows the Swarovski family to live in their luxury!!

I love using my trangia, so simple to use 👍

What a wonderful day! ❤

Nice Erik, thanks!

Cool, time to make coffee and enjoy the video 😊 👍

Love your films Erik, thank you for taking us along.

Hello! As always great to see another video! Just in case you haven’t tried them on your binoculars, add a ‘Winged Eyecup Set Swarovision’ to yours and be amazed how much move pleasant viewing is! No joke, for me it makes a massive difference, cuts out the light leaking into the eyecup and improves comfort. Highly recommend!

I need to watch this after a very busy day Erik. Thank you and KTF🙏

Like Zeiss or Steiner, Swarovski is a premiere brand that will last a hundred years or more, with proper care. I couldn't afford any of those but was pleasantly surprised by the performance of my Svarska brand 8X32's. Excellent points, Erik, on the why's and wherefore's of having the right binoculars for these outdoor occasions. And that Anorak you wear looks super-useful and functional. Thanks for another top-shelf post. Always the best content, production, quality and especially presentation! Cheers.

Another great video. Love the shot at 8:52. Thanks for talking about binoculars.

Lovely Coffee break on a late winter day.

Love it!! I haven't been able to get out much this winter due to work and some health issues, so your videos always fill the void. 8:55 I love that shot!

Really nice 👌 Thank You

Very nice binoculars. The brand my Father-in-law likes. He is an expert bird watcher. Very clear glass and easy to adjust.

Thanks. No filter between me and the nature. I like those words from you in another video.

Absolutely agree about binoculars...me and the wife allways wear them when we out hiking and camping.... Excellent video ..as always....

Thanks for sharing, Erik. I've been carrying binoculars as well for the past year or so. Very useful. I somehow could not get the sound at around 8min for few seconds. Have a nice weekend.

Thanks for the video, good tips, I sometime bring Bluetooth loudspeaker and play bird sounds in dense forest, the kids love it when we are surrounded by curious birds.

Great details and recommendations for practical binoculars! Trangia triangle is very compact and efficient choice for cooking and water boiling 👍👋

Morning Erik Having my coffee as well… Kind regards

Thank you for the information on the binoculars. I appreciate it.

Tack för att du pratade lite om kikare. 👍🏻

Thank you for talking about the binoculars, I was curious about the model!

Thanks for the discussion and info on the binoculars.

Great words of advice thanks Erik. Your perspective makes sound sense. Nice to see that hut again it has character. Bushyboy Oz.

Always look forward to your videos! 👍☕

Interesting ... I use a pair of 8x32 as well, but from a certain different vendor. The main use is for "looking around", be it during rest periods or for searching for a path or possible route. I keep mine in a pocket on my backpack or inside my jacket however. This still allows for rather quick access. I always found it a bit annoying to keep the binos around my neck as my hiking trips can be kind of sweaty, especially in the alps during summer. BTW you were the inspiration to get myself a Trangia stove as an alternative to my gas stove and I now use it on a regular basis.

these are great videos Erik

Good point about the binoculars. There is also Monopod fittings that can be attached to the front fitting(arcaswiss etc).

8x32 only with daylight, for all purpose I use a Zeiss Victory SF in 8x42 also for low light conditions.

☕👍,Good binoculars size.I use a Pentax 8x40 PCF.

Hello Erik! Cheers! My binoculars are a little smaller, but can hold my subject without the shaky distortion when bird watching. We all need an essential pair of binoculars, Cheers! Peace!

*_Mr. Erik seems like you really like the binoculars you have, and of course they are very useful for your adventure activities, Mr. Erik. Greetings, I'm Rudy Agustman Pak Erik, I'm from Indonesia..._*

Hi Erik, lovely video as usual, just a production note: it sounds like the audio drops out from 7:42 for about 40 seconds. I don't think you need to reupload you might feel differently of course. Thank again.

Great adventure 👍👍

I too travel with binoculars and take them everywhere

Fantastic video, as usual! I'd love if some day you could talk about the gloves you use? I always have trouble keeping my fingers warm and I see you have quite a collection! Thanks, and take care.

Hi Erik! 🙋🏼‍♂️☕👍🏻

Merci Erik, hug to north sweden/ Skelle. Salut.

Trevlig tur med genomgången av kikaren. Jag har själv skaffat en vortex 10x42 just som ett billigare alternativ. Det blir ett givande och tagande, och jag håller med om att det blir lite lättare skakningar så man får stötta på kreativa sätt. 42 valde jag för att man börjar bli gammal och behöver så mycket ljus som är möjligt men ändå inte gå upp för högt i vikt. 😀👍

I feel cold just hearing the wind blow! Hurry up with the coffee!

I use 8x32 also. Tried 10x before, but as you hinted at, one needs to sit or stand completely still when looking through 10x magnification. 8x is much less sensitive to your own movements, or put differently your movements does not transfer/translate to the view/image that easy.

Try the canon image stabilizing binocs, they are fantastic.

Interesting information about the binoculars. Thank you! What’s the coolest thing you’ve watched through your binoculars out in nature?

Thanks for letting us come along. How much longer do you think you'll have skiing conditions? 2 months?

Only when I see your thumb up is when I click "I like" :)

Two years ago I bought a pair of Nikon 10x42 which I like but perhaps the size you have may have been better? I did look up your brand but it is way too expensive for me. As always, thank you for your wonderful videos. Cheers, Paul from south east Australia 🇦🇺

Honestly, you have influenced me to bring binoculars on my hikes as well. But I have two for different purposes: A very good 10x42 (Leica Noctivid), which I use on my day trips, and a very lightweight (230gr) 10x25 (Ultravid) for mulitday hikes. More I would not be willing to carry in addition to the hiking equipment. Normally, I only use them during my breaks - but my breaks are long and numerous ;)

I was gonna say put your coffee in the pot with the snow but after seeing how much coffee you put in there, there wouldn't be any room. ; - D

Another excellent video, Eric. May I ask about your skis?

Hello Eric! Great video for spring! The binoculars are very functional and very expensive....there is a little problem with that. I wanted to ask .... which model of BC boots is more comfortable and warmer? Alpina Alaska or Alfa Guard Advance GTX? You are using both of these models. Successes to you and HEALTH!!!

8×32👍

👍🏻

How do you navigate? Are these established trails, or are you going by map and compass?

Fridfullt!

👍☕❤️🍀

Hello, I have a question, can you tell me what model of skis and boots it is

Hi Erik. I’m coming over to Sweden in a couple of weeks and will be bringing my Trangia gear. In the UK I use Bioethanol fuel. Is this fuel widely available in Sweden or do you use something else?

Just an FYI... You lost sound at around 7:42.

Jag gillar också min kikare, men den slenger så rundt halsen nær jag går. Har du nogon tips for at unnvika detta?

Hva slags alkohol bruker ovnen?
