A pine stump, 1 match and patience.

I don't think I fully grasped the meaning of 'tranquility' until I found this channel. So many elements; Erik's voice, the sounds of the rain and nature, the almost ritualistic process of collecting the material for the fire. the satisfaction of the slow progression from smoke and tiny flame to warming fire, and finally the coffee making and enjoyment of it. All of these elements assemble together to create such a serene tranquility. Wonderful to experience on a nice Sunday morning. thank you, Erik.

"All you need is patience." Wise words from a patient man.

Brother. I’m sick in bed with a fever, eating noodles and broth and watching this. I feel better already!! Thank you, Erik

Holy Moment. Water, Air, Earth, Wood + Fire (and some added coffee).

My favourite teacher . Simple but the most pure pleasure in how minimal you need to be to take the time to appreciate nature

Sunday morning with Erik. Holy moment!

What a beautiful forest. The colours, and the rain so peaceful. Thank you.

Sound of rain, a cup coffee by your own fire, bright moss greens... very relaxing. Thankyou Erik. 🇭🇲🐞 Qld Australia

Endnu engang har du fanget, lige det det handler om, fred, naturen i alt slags vej, og igen et bevis på, at regnvejr har sin charme. Tak Erik, super film

Trevlig söndag Erik. Ser ut som du haft en fin regnigt svensk höst dag.

A doubly Holy Moment--coffee in the autumn woods, the colors, the sound of the rain--and well dressed for the rain.

This is 5 star material ,, 2 thumbs up. Thanks Erik. Bushyboy Oz.

Fat wood. Fire in the rain. Coffee. A film worthy of two thumbs up Erik. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for a beautiful start in the sunday morning 👍

As always an absolute joy to watch Erik. 😀👍

👍👍👍 Well worth a triple thumbs-up 😊. One each for the fire, coffee and last but not least, the share. Thanks Erik!

Wonderful rainy day in the forest. Thanks.

The beautiful forest, gentle rain and coffee. One of life’s special moments. Thanks Erik!

Loved the sounds of the rain and the crackle of the fire!

You lit the fire with one match.. I would have used half of the box. Lol Nice vid as always. Makes me miss home..

You are an expert. One Matches.

That is by far the most impressive fire lighting skill and Holy coffee moment you have ever brought to us! Much appreciated from deepest Dorset 👍

I love you videos, they radiate peace.

I was just thinking that whenever Erik goes into the wild he is always accompanied by one of his best friends: that grizzled old coffee pot. They've seen some mileage together, eh?

Enormt fin och imponerande instruktionsvideo om användning av tjärved! Älskar den intensiva grönskan av en våt granskog. Skägglaven var så vacker. Tusen tack, Erik 😍

Beautiful as ever!

Candle and aluminium foil help lot to get start. Kindles on folded foil get rain cover and heat by reflection. Candle is oil in solid form.

Incredible! Ohne of your best videos ever. In this kind of rain I would never have considered to light a fire. But you did it - and succeeded!

dissolving from bonfire to rain puddle was a nice touch in editing. yet another artistic piece.

Hope all good Erik..Your loyal subscriber since 2016..

Another great Video 👍 thanks Eric

That was one hard earned cup of coffee, enjoyed all the more for it i would say.

WOW this one snuck up on me without notice!!! What a pleasant way to end a weekend, The sound quality really stood out on this Erik. It brought me back to some of my fondest memories. Ya that fat wood will burn every time.

deine Waldabenteuer sind immer so wunderbar und inspirierend schön. Danke dafür

Thanks for everything you do. Please make more content.

Ah, the pleasure of a cup of strong fresh coffee on a rainy day.

So good seeing you up and about again mate. Comfy videos.

Ah...the soothing sound of rain and a crackling fire...lovely fragrance of pine...and coffee...what could be better? thanks...

I love these videos so much! You have no idea. Thanks Erik.

Great job on the fire in the rain! Love it! It seems no one is immune to the fact that the smoke will always head straight for the camera lens 😂. I’ll point TheOutdoorGearReview guy to your channel so he can see that Trangia kettles are ok to use on a fire.😅

I set fire to the rain!

Beautiful 😍

Coffee ceremony by Erik Normark...😃

Great demo of starting a fire in the rain. Something everyone should learn Beautiful forest and with the rain… looks vibrant Take care 🇨🇦❤️🍁🍂🔥

Great advice. Thanks for sharing.

Simple episode but very calm and beautiful. Than you.

We love your video's. nature is awesome and you show it well in your work. You are a very talented man with your art, love of nature and the beautiful videos you produce.

The stick gives the coffee some flavor

OMG you lucky fellow .... those woods !!!!

Thanks for such a peaceful video, 😊

Excellent. Thank you

You gonna go big one day, keep following your passion!

very fun, feel like joining there

That was impressive.

Thank you for sharing, Erik. Cheers

What an amazing place to exploreThank you for sharing this great footage! Your footage always inspires for me👍👍

I can smell the freshn air and ofcourse the coffee 😍

if you bring a ferro rod you dont have to worry about it getting wet. also cotton balls + vaseline (petroleum jelly) is excellent fire starter

Beautiful!

Great video as ever. Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for the upload 👍Scotland can be really wet even in summer i use a ferro rod, magnesium rod, and rubber bike tube ps i carry matches too

Last time I failed because I used wet sticks that were laying around. Even a paper that I brought with me didnt help. Thanks for advice!

Think I need to order some Swedish matches and patience.

Спасибо за видео. Небольшое стихотворение для Вас: Жизнь пруда, кишит жизнью, Он шепчет и журчит, в содрогании, Когда рядом идет, смерть.

I liko your videos very much

Som sædvanligt meget inspirerende. Der skal ikke så meget til for at få en fin naturoplevelse. Vi må ikke tænde bål i skoven i Danmark. Men der er dem, der gør det alligevel ...

Put the axe in the wood, then chop the ground! This was an amazing video though, thank you!

Alltid lika bra film!

if you are watching his videos without headphones you are missing more than 90% of it.

Thank you :-)

So good . Thanks Erik .

Delightful video Erik. Stay well & safe .. Cheers.

I sure hope your doing well!

28.07.24 Enjoyed another good fire!

💛💙

Just beautiful.

Polarbröd 🙌🏻

Nature so good

Amazing

a thumbs up back at you Erik a very relaxing video:)

Love your work!

Så vackert så vackert ☺️

If the wood is wet, how do you get it to burn like that? Thanks for sharing your tips!

two "thumbs-up" in one video, a monumental day!

0:23 - Spruce. "Pine" is a word, often used in place of "evergreen" like as was used here, but it's actually a spruce stump. He's in a stand of spruce so a pine would be out of place here, but the remaining trunk appearance is enough to tell, as well as the wood type when he splits it. It splits and slivers off a little differently from pine as well.

Oh... haha... i thought you had to point a camera at it :D by the way... is this a re-upload?

Hay erik how are you?? I'm from Indonesia, say hay to Indonesia

Why do you use matches? Butane lighters seem more weatherproof.

Hej fra Danmark :-) Great video (as allways). Could you talk a little about thoughts and gear, when it comes to rainy days/trips, common as it is for us in Scandinavia?

Nice video

Ido 🤩

好美的森林，尤其是最後一幕

Snygg skägg lav!🧙‍♂️👳‍♂️🎅🧔

What was the snack you were enjoying with your coffee at 11:23?

Yet another great video Erik! Thanks a lot! May I ask what axe you’re using? Gränsfors?

Hi Erik What type of gloves do you use for this type of weather?

I couldn't help but think that, if you had hung the pot sooner, the water would have been hot before you finished building the fire. You, like many, seem to enjoy the fire. I prefer a stove, and if a fire, I'm content with a few twigs to warm things.

New subscriber from South Wales Great Britain Erik. what do you use to keep your camera dry please ? lots of rain here. thanks Tank.
