The Ruonek video this one refers to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMVzdtWbnKu6pmw.html

So refreshing to hear such a sober and tranquill voice. A lot of peace comes from this beautiful video.

I enjoy these occasional videos when you talk. Very eloquent in what is not your first language. Very easy to listen to.

This video refers specifically to my trip from last week, but the gear is universal for my longer hikes. See the complete gear list here eriknormark.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/summer-hiking-clothes-and-gear-one-week-in-the-swedish-mountains/ I also wish to thank you all for the support and for making all these videos possible! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do :-) Thanks!

"Don't waste your time to be afraid"...i'm agree with that and with your philosophy thank you, best regards from french Alps

- Reading the map is one of the best things - Fantastic. I absolutely agree with you 👍👍👍

Great advice, especially toward the end of the film. Erik talks of the reality of nature and the obvious. But that is so needed with thousands of you tubers out there doing their own thing (in wonderful ways of course) and inspiring people like me - because I am afraid. When I was a child I was never afraid of being outdoors or in nature - but as an adult one sees from a less innocent viewpoint. Nonetheless, it is so great to hear this guy talking so simply and without arrogance and pomp - but explain clearly. I am so grateful to all the many you tubers who have helped me even just begin to gain confidence to do just a short hike and overnight stay. And this guy rocks. Big Thank You

So true. I spent my time in the jungles of Northern Thailand mostly alone, and many ask if I am not afraid. Reality is, out there everything work by the simple and beautiful laws of nature. No spider bite because it had a bad day, no snake attacks you just because it can. If you know what, where and how, nature is so much more safe than the urban world. I find your videos a great inspiration, spent my first 25 years in the Scandinavian forests, and do miss it sometimes.

Glad to hear you speak about fear, knowledge and how to enjoy nature. It is very important to just relax and know about what you are doing and where you are traveling. Very well spoken and great message.

Erik, thanks for your videos. You help keep me sane during this trying times (in the USA). Most of us are on edge. I just told my kids last night that we should go winter hiking/camping this year and all I heard were their food dropping on their plate and coughs😊. Yes, this Nigerian American mom told her med School student daughter, senior college student daughter and HS student son, that we should go winter camping. We don’t even do outdoor picnics well. It was a sight to see; just silence for seconds, with eyes popping and mouths open 😊. This is all thanks to you. I will fill you in when in happens. Thanks Erik.

Another great video..."cure your fear with knowledge." Wise words in all aspects of life.

I haven't seen a bear either but I've seen Erik smile😊 6:28

"Reading the map is one of the best things" Jeg er helt enig! Dejlig telt-læsning. Tak for en god video.

An inspiring, educational mini doc from northern Sweden, thoroughly enjoyable as ever. Always look forward to your postings.

Thank you Erik, your words in the end were very inspiring and true

Excellent choice of a topic. Thanks for sharing info on your gear and for your perspective on the outdoors. I agree with all you said.

I am very glad that you shared your thoughts and experience with us. Tak.

I really enjoy your videos. Appreciate the sounds as well as the scenes. Thank you for your dedication to bringing all of us this beauty. Terry.

Watching this again - one of my favourite videos! Thank you.

good simple information about proven gear and the right philosophy, thank you!

Hello Erik, thank you for sharing your gear loadout review. You have all the essential equipment that you will need in the outdoors. The very best to you. I look forward to your next exciting and informative video. 🤗

Thank you Erik for an interesting explanation. The clarity of your filming was outstanding.

I was always in hesitations how to reduce the weight in the backpack and your kind demonstration gave me a great idea. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! I guess I spend too much time worrying at times. So, I really appreciated what you said about fear. The more you go to the great outdoors, the less fear you'll experience since you learn how things work out there.

Such a great film & philosophy.

“Pants... nothing fancy” I guess in Sweden Fjallraven is nothing fancy.

Thanks Erik! Hope you have a great summer!

Love you Erik,,,I am watching your videos regularly,, I feel so fantastic ,,,your videos are exceptional,,, I am enjoying the nature at home by just watching your clips,,,,thanks

You have inspired me to get out and go on a solo trip here in Temagami park in Canada. Thank you sir.. life is too short to not be brave and adventurous!

I LOVE your videos with just the sounds and sights of Nature and no talking, but this video where you talk about things and gear is very helpful!

Thank You Erik for your time and wisdom. I especially like the tranquil sounds and the wonderful videos that must take you ages to edit. I am always surprised at how calm you appear when dealing with the weather (show storms, wind etc) It brings a smile to my face every time you give coffee (a holy moment) a thumbs up. I look forward to your next adventures. Greetings and Happy Christmas from Austria

I really really like the last words you say about being outdoors, to know you environment and that there is nothing you need to be afraid of in nature. Thanks for brining it to the point. See you outdoors!

The last few minutes (about knowledge and fear etc.) are my favorite ones. Well said man. Simple and true wisdom.

Wisdom and experience. Thank you.

Hej Erik, I'm glad you mentioned that people need to accept to be in nature and have less comfort 👍🏻 this is one of my attitude in life in general, to accept. Only if you accept a certain situation, you can go on. Go on without loosing energy and focus on your life, on the moments. Only acceptance keeps you really going and continuing. I appreciate your videos and your mind for nature 🌿

Such a humble man. Thanks Eric

Great teacher you are in the ways to walk and blend with nature and enjoy ,thank you

Nice video Erik, and wise words. In nature is the most beautiful thing there is.

Thanks Erik, I always learn something new from watching your videos! Thanks for sharing. ATVB. Steve. 👍👍

Thanks for a good video. Be part of nature you say, yes, I agree. I am more afraid in a city than out doors, I enjoy nature and I enjoy your videos. Cheers from Norway

Adding your ideas on acceptance, natural knowledge and managing your fears was a great way to end the video. They are important points that are sometimes overlooked. Thank you Eric. Peace.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Northern Sweden looks like a very nice place to hike and camp.

Great advice..and really good discussion at the end.

I mainly like your videos because of the colors, the light, the quietness, the views, the image composition. Simply perfect. Makes me want to be exactly where you are.

Tack för visdomsorden Erik samt dina fina videos.

Thanks Erik, a very useful video. I agree, people should not be afraid of the outdoors. You have more to fear on a city street (mainly cars and their pollution) than in a forest or on a mountain.

What a master. Amazing videos and channel. Simply I love it.

At the end of the video, you did a very good cosideration about confort and fear in the nature, thanks

Thank you for this great Video. Greetings from Norway.

Equipaggiamento logico e perfetto, grazie Erik.

I like your train of thought, as simple as the outdoors.

Great messages here - thanks Erik.

Love seeing the country as well as your gear and techniques even though I live on the central plains of the USA. Thank you!

Alot of tranquility is what I get from your videos Erik. Thanks. I spend alot of time in the forest and mountains, trying to get in shape so that one day I too can go on trips like yours. Live right smack in the middle of Norway, and the only thing I fear when I'm out is the king of the forest, the moose.. but.. I keep my ears open, and a watchfull eye.

This video is very relaxing

I agree with your comments about not being afraid. Always be aware of your surroundings, use your brain. Great video. Greetings from California.

very peaceful. Thanks

Thanks Erik for sharing your wonderful hiking trip .Warm greetings Detroit , Michigan USA 🇺🇸

Thx for your vids and efforts. And thx for sharing. I was in Härjedalen in ultimo may/primo june '06 + '07. Packed for the weather I had experienced previous years. +/-2, snowstorm, visibilety 50m. But on these trips I had +30 dgr C. I almost melted. No sunblocker and only a light shirt. Drank 4-5 ltr water a day. It's never the same in the mountains

Thanks for the interesting video and the good tips. Perfect and complete equipment and very light. There was a lot of what I'll buy. All the best from Austria - Max.

Most enjoyable and helpful

I asked a question about your last video regarding food and gear, this video has answered it perfectly. Many thanks. Your philosophy about wild camping and nature is also true, we have lost touch with nature and need to reconnect with it.

An excellent and informative report.Especially the comment saying.Do not expect home comforts when you are out in the hills,woods etc..Many people do and are disappointed so spoiling their trip.

Great video! Agree, people are afraid of the wildlife but perhaps more out of fear of having to spend time with their own mind and without modern comfy. Started weekend hiking again after a long long break and love it. Keep up the good work! Tack👍

Nice advice altogether :) You don't need much if you bring the right stuff. I too love studying the map in the camp/tent, actually I could even buy maps and sit in my home kitchen drinking coffee and "walk" on/off the trails fantasizing about the landscape... haha :)

You are so right Erik!!! On all points.. I'm admit I'm not so good about reading up about the local birds and such 🙁 ...but on many trips wish I had !!!

Well done Erik. Have a good week

very much enjoyed your video Eric keep up the good work

You are always watching well. Thank you.

Your mic is very good. Great audio. Such great content as well. I'm glad I found your channel.

Thanks Erik...another great video...very informative

Thanks för sharing!

Very good video... indeed, no need to be afraid of the outdoors.

Well put, of all your gear the mind is the most important!

Hi Erik, thanks for innovation and introducing your equipment. For my favorit region as supplement i do need waterfilter, headlamp and first aid kit. Have a nice summer hiking time. Good path. Alex

Thank you for sharing your gear list

Direct, honest, the best!

Legend Erik , Jimmy from galway, Ireland.really enjoy your content.very relaxing.

Such a beautiful place !!!!! Thanks a lot for your advices... And I thank your country to make such wonderful knifes... Thanks from a french one :)

Thank you Erik.

Thank you for an excellent informative video! Your common sense is as good as your professional filming👍

very inspirational video

Hi Erik .. thanks for that and sharing with us. Yes, each has their preferences .. however (my inmate curiosity 😉), it is nice to know what works for others in that one can learn from that and as such make for a better personal experience. Take care ..

I was afraid of my first night outside the house by the nearby lake. It was funny, there was no danger. Knowledge and common sense, later equipment.

Unagitated, competent and very likeable. Thanks Erik and greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭

More and more hiking erik!! Thank you for your video.. ☺️

Thank You for this video.this is very helpful to me.

Thank you Erik. Verry good Video!

Great video - I use a very similar cooking set up for ultralight trips - a 0.5 litre pot with a 0.25 lid, either with an ultralight gas stove and small canister or a trangia burner and cross stand. Keep these amazing videos coming.

Nice work! I need to get to Northern Sweden, probably next year now. Cheers!

Awesome video! Thanks! 👍

Excellent speech , essential and I say to you that I'm agree about all. I think that to be outdoor is a culture first of all and not all people are aware to be out in the forest, mountain and so on. My best greeting for your trips-

Great advise👍

Excellent video. Great information.

Great videos, I really enjoy your content.

Thanks for information, Eric!! :)

Great video man. Have an awesome Sunday, Andreas 🇸🇪

Great video. Using ur videos for preparation
