The cinematography is outstanding, so many shots. Never a dull moment. Who needs music when you have nature.

When Erik Grankvist was born the doctor said: *"It's a MAN!"*

I don't know why but seeing the old lady (I'm assuming your grandma) made me so happy. I don't know you but I feel so proud of you. For realizing your dream and attaining it.

Эрик, спасибо тебе за то, что делишься с нами своей жизнью, умениями, красотой, покоем, уравновешенностью. Всё вместе с природой создаёт настоящую гармонию. Просмотр твоих фильмов как сеанс хорошего психотерапевта. Пожалуйста, оставь все, как есть, не ускоряй темп своей жизни и этих видео. "Никогда не устанешь смотреть, как горит огонь, течёт вода, и как работает другой человек." Мое восхищение и благодарность ещё раз.

As a chef and butcher i can appreciate how much work you did off camera, well done i would employ you in any kitchen.

Been following you for a while. The peace, the tranquility, the focus. Grounded. Pure. The hard work. All of your work is a gift to the world. I’m inspired. Thank you 😊

Парень очень хозяйственный. В его действиях нет ничего лишнего. Всё знает, как и что работает. С таким не пропадёшь в лесу. У таких людей есть чему поучиться. 👍🖐️🙂

I marveled at the way he handled himself, to build a cabin and other things, alone for 3 years, I am in awe! Much respect 👍👏❤️

Erik: Mom, I want to invite you and the rest of the family to dinner at the cabin. Eriks mom: That sounds very nice Erik, when do you want us to come? Erik: Pretty soon, the preparations shouldn't take more then four or five months...😊👍

As a Swede I love seeing my fellow countrymen emerging from the deep forest, their natural habitat, with curious eyes and cautiously start approaching the food. Glorious wild life photography Erik! You must have waited a long time for that many swedes to gather.

You Are such an inspiration. Thank you for showing us the magnificence of your incredible lifestyle

Не перестаю Удивляться..такой молоденький и все умеет делать,ВОСХИЩАЮСЬ И ПРЕКЛОНЯЮСЬ..ТАКИХ МУЖЧИН НЕ БЫВАЕТ..ВЫ ТОЧНО С ДРУГОЙ АЛАНЕТЫ..на земле таких просто нет..Господи храни тебя Господь..сил,счастья,здоровья,успехов всегда и везде,пусть всегда тебе сопутствует удача..УМНИЧКА,НЕОБЫЧНЫЙ,НЕ ПОХОЖИЙ НА ДРУГИХ..❤👍

I laughed as your family just appeared from the forest as all Swedes do for midsummers

When you watch one of Erik's videos, you know you are going to see a beautiful glimpse of old world craftsmanship and living. I'm very proud of him.

Oh my, this is wonderful. Side note - i have never had an issue with sound quality on your channel Erik, but this video stood out as sound amazing. Wanted to make sure you know we appreciate it! Edit: Now that I finished the video I would happily argue this is one of the 10 best KZfaq videos of all time.

Wow, Is there anything you can’t do. I know your family is so proud of you Erick. You are so talented and a hard working man. Enjoying your videos.

That’s what it’s all about. I’m sure your family is proud of you.

Another amazing and atmospheric video, greetings from Russia Siberia.

I loved seeing you with your family sharing your catch from the hunt. I bet the aroma was out of this world. The food and drink looked awesome. Made me wish I was your neighbor! I stumbled across your videos the other day and have been binge-watching them ever since. You are simply an amazing young fellow and make me at age 60 wish I was more like you in my youth. I know your parents must be very proud of you and your great accomplishments. I hope to see a lot more of your videos soon. Thank you, young man, for sharing this delightful, hard-working life you've shown us. I am amazed!

And the time we spend with family, making those memories... Those will last a lifetime. Fantastic video. Thank you Eric!

This was a great video with family. You are a great provider and you are self-reliant. I really enjoy watching how you live and how you are doing what our ancestors did on a daily basis. How lazy we have become as a people. We no longer depend on our abilities to do for ourselves. We work a job to pay folks to do for us what you do daily as a normal way of life. When you are tired you can look back at your day of labor and feel a sense of great accomplishment. You do not rely on no one, no govt. , no one to provide for you. I admire you very much and the man that you have grown into.

Finally we see you not alone! But your making vids are so relaxing and calm, that's true. Seeing your family together and your preparing for the this evening is so nice and pleasant. Thank you for sharing your experience and working process. You're completely interested in the whole process of creating and one can feel it from the distance. I can't stop admiring you!

Erik, you astound me. A most profoundly remarkable man. STAY SAFE BE WELL. WE LOVE YOU. And yes, I'm a Patreon sponsor for you my dear sir. You are incredible.

The more I watch these videos the more I long for a simple village life away from the busyness and buzz of the city🙏 Hopefully someday😊

Эрик,ты молодец 👍🏻 смотрю все твои выпуски ✅ твой зритель из России 🇷🇺,который тоже любит лес,зверей,охоту и вечернее уединение с природой!Здоровья тебе и твоим близким 🤝 P.S Нет плохих наций,есть плохие люди..

13 minutes? I would have watched your video for 13 hours, lol. What a wonderful day your friends and family must have had thanks to you. Well done Erik 😊

You just gave something truly special to multiple generations. Your family is blessed to share this sanctuary with you.

So refreshing to watch. No dependence on gmo supermarket food. Recession proof lifestyle

WOW! Now that's a meal! Truly amazing! The effort alone that was put into this, is just astonishing! You are what every young person should inspire to be!! I'm sure your granddaddy and your parents are proud!!

потрясающе! золотые руки, доброе сердце. очень атмосферное место.

The best of the best - thank you again Erik for drawing us in and inviting us to share this beautiful experience. You have such a positive impact on people’s lives. ✌🏼

Vilken vacker återblick av det årstiderna ger oss; jakt, sätta potatis/lök, mogen fläder, myggsurr. Tack för att du visar på ett sätt att leva som jag kan minnas från det jag var barn. Det fanns mycket i den här videon som värmde hjärtat; samhörigheten mellan generationerna i familjen, hanteringen av råvaror som finns i naturen och hur den sistämnda hela tiden finns som inramning. Tack!

What an exceptional young man.

What a beautiful boar and a wonderful meal you prepared for your family Erik. I admire your dedication and persistence for living a sustainable lifestyle. Thank you for this content. 👍 🐗

I follow many craftmanship channel's and i have never seen such outstanding atmosphere like in your channel. Im obsessed with you're videos! Please never stop making these.

Erik....wow!!! Ich bin echt fassungslos so jung und SO ein begabter Handwerker, Tischler, Maurer, Jäger, Naturbursche, Wanderer ...versiert in allen notwendig Dingen...ein MANN eben!!!👍🏼💪🏽👍🏼💪🏽👍🏼❤️

Чувак, ты просто крут! С большим любопытством и интересом смотрю твои видео, это просто круто

I can't begin to explain how much I look forward to these videos. Legit makes my day.

There is a peace that comes with living this way that not many get to experience Growing up part of my life in the Bush and having to livr this way especially as a kid growing up there is nothing that can compare to it. Thanks yo Erik for sharing your adventures with is - both the good and the bad.

Очень здорово и необычно . Единение человека и природы. Привет из Москвы !

Hello from Atlanta, Ga, USA. Looking forward to watching your channel next. You are so talented… beautifully built cabin with so much detail and attention

Парень большой привет от армянина, не давно наткнулся на твой канал и подписался, ты крутой чувак, и канал твой шикарный👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍смотрю с удовольствием

Моë восхищение! Сначала дом посмотрела, а теперь всë завершилось вкусным и атмосферным ужином! Удачи вам, чтобы всë получилось как задумано ❤

Erik, I just want to thank you not because of your amazing works, but for the fact that you inspired me and gave me more hope to live another day with passion!

I'm old now, but reminds me of my childhood. Those were simpler and better times

Hola Erik soy Jose de España. Te sigo desde que empezaste con la casa. Enhorabuena por demostrar que se puede vivir sin tecnología. Me flipa lo que has sido capaz de construir, con paciencia y mucho esfuerzo. Salud.

Such talent... it always amazes me beyond belief. A true craftsman in every sense. It doesn't get more beautiful than that.

Chef Erik ... A meal to remember and to eat in those surroundings is already a feast in itself. Many viewers, like me, sure wished they would have been there. You live a life very much connected to our roots, it's inspiring to see.

I heard one of them say, “Erik’s video.” Lol. Everything was so awesome. Just the whole set up was so nice.

I adore you and your art creations from the boundless taiga.You yourself built your house, life, you improve yourself, you have achieved a lot at your age, we are all proud of you.

Чудо парень!!! Настоящий мужчина. Делает всё основательно! Светлая голова и умелые руки. Умеет пользоваться всеми необходимыми инструментами. Всё делает не спеша, но доводит до совершенства. Уму непостижимо, сколько у него знания любого дела и терпения. Я в него просто влюбилась!!! Как в необыкновенно интересного человека. Самой то мне 82 года. Но я с большим удовольствием смотрю на его работы, на его жизнь. Браво, Эрик!!! Моё уважение,. мой привет тебе... Украина, март 2023 года. И прими мои наилучшие пожелания!!!

Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents, not only with your wonderful family but with all of us. You make the world a better place.🌟

Yes, finally the perfect combination hunting and log cabin building !

I just loved the nonchalant way everyone turned up, such a lovely change from the far too common hysterics that seem to be the norm these days.

Спасибо, очень красивый дом 🏠🏡 🙏🏼💞)))) Очень смелый и трудолюбивый человек !!!! Вам благодарность за ваш труд и любовь к природе !🇷🇺 Привет вам из России всем вашим родным 🤗 🙏🏼

Erik is out here living his best Skyrim life. Just casually making some Elderflower Cordial (pretty sure that's what it was), crafting his cabin, and taking out the local wildlife to make a homestead. When are the palisades going up? :)

Hope you know how lucky you are. Thats a dream you are living right there. Cherish it!

That's life right there, nature, family and good food. Beautiful catch and preparation 👏

Love it! Erik, you are THE MAN! You did good, hunting, cleaning and cooking that boar, and you showed so much hospitality in having this feast for your family; I especially love it that your beloved Grandmother and Grandfather were there to share the joy, they must truly be proud of you! Your haircut looks Army bootcamp issued... Well done and Bravo Zulu!

How proud you must be for all you have accomplished so far. Your family looked like they were proud and impressed as well. I’m so excited every time I see you posted a new video because your videographer skills keep amazing and the design of your cabin and all that goes with it is inspiring and beautiful to watch. The wine barrels were a good touch and I even looked around for a mosquito as I was watching. The sounds of nature is all I need when watching your videos. Amazing work Erik!!

Another great video from Erik and very special with this feast for your family and friends. A lot of hard work went into this video and we are so happy that you share it with us.

Thank you for sharing this special occasion. These videos teach me a lot to appreciate what effort goes into things we call simple. And how unique it can be if it is done with care and time. Amazing video and editing.

The only thing I can say is "amazing". You've been done so much and in a unique way that I cannot describe.

You are really good at living off grid, living alone and proving for yourself. Keep it up.

You cooked up such an amazing meal for your family. It made me very hungry.

Just one thing to say Erik - Your Family must be so proud of you!!! Stay safe and healthy!

The fireplace and smoke house are so amazing👏👏👏👏👏learnt lesson👍

Странно, что такой потрясающий пикник почти не вызвал эмоций у гостей. Очень чинно для стольких усилий и необычности места

Makes me wish I was there. Just amazing what you can do Erik!

Me haces recordar a mis abuelos maternos y paternos y mis ancestros...mi abuela georgiana estudió en San Petersburgo y a los 16 fué a trabajar a Siberia cómo agrimensora y vivía en Iglú y se calentaba con bosta de reno ,luego pasó a vivir cerca de San Petersburgo,dónde todo era campo, y se producía todo el alimento en el verano y se conservaba en el sótano para pasar el invierno..y la vaca en establo infaltable para la leche de todos los niños...por mis abuelos maternos otros lugares pero historias similares y también en otros continentes a posteriori ..me llevan a mi infancia...y esos papines... es una delicia, recuerdo cuando mi abuelo materno sacaba las plantas de papas y con ese tamaño ( se puede esperar más para mayor tamaño, es cuando florece la planta) nunca volví a comer papas más ricas!

Amazing video, thank you fir sharing this. So nice to know that there are men like you still alive. 👍😎

From hunting to making food and building furniture..😲😲😲 Damn he made everything from Scratch... How talented a Man can be..

Cant imagine all the time you put into this OUTSTANDING Video. Thankyou I truly enjoyed it. Your skills are far beyond your years.

I love videos like this. Apart from the overall feel of this traditional life, I must also give praise to the editing and cinematography! And of course the craftsmanship you display.

It was so great to see family eat and visit with you Erik. I’m a fan of your page. I live in the USA. 👍💕

My grandfather used to call this "The old man tax" at 11:18 lol. Seems like your family had a fun time, I love this.

Impressive, really cool that you have gone from building your cabin to hosting lunch from things you have cultivated, built, and hunted.

You are definitely my favorite KZfaqr! Saying so much with no words! You take me to a safe place where your love for nature has no limits and that give me hope! Thank you so much! Waiting for your new video!

Beautiful video. Your grandfather's expression, without a word, has touched my heart. Thanks for sharing your progress in the cabin and this great time with the family. A greeting from Spain.

One word sums up this build, lifestyle, skills, the event, food, filming and, well, everything we’ve all been privileged to have followed all this time… beautiful.

It's just the way our mom prepaired elderflower sirup for us kids decades ago. A dejavu for me. And it shows me that at the end people are very similar all over the world. Thanks for sharing your interesting films. I appreciate very much as well as your wonderfull country I have visited a couple of times! Please keep on publishing. Greets, Mark (hunter and nature enthusiast from Tyrol/Austria)

Эх, ребята, хорошо у вас👍🏻

Wonderful host, Erik, entertaining your family! What an exceptional meal you put before everyone!

Эрик, какой ты молодец! Смотрю на тебя и на душе так спокойно и хорошо становится. К сожалению, таких людей уже не так часто встретишь. Удачи тебе во всех твоих начинаниях.

Wow .. such a feast!! You are amazing from building to hunting to cooking and serving!!! Looks like a great time was had by everyone. Your videography skills are always great. It is a pleasure to watch your posts.
