  • My gear and philosophy behind ultralight hiking for about one week in the Swedish mountains. This video refers specifically to my Ruonek hike from last week, but the gear is universal for my longer summer trips. See the complete gear list:

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 🌿
