Happy holidays! :)
What's the total cost excluding camera
I think you're missing an old Scandinavian trick. Check out the base layers from Brynje. It's basically a technical string vest that traps warm air against the skin, creating fast-drying, lightweight insulation and protecting you from sweat and moisture in your layers. Used by Hillary on Everest, and popular with Arctic explorers and Special Forces.
Interesting to see you are using the cotton Ventile shell. I love this in snow because it's quiet, wind-proof and breathable (though I don't like the price tag!). But I can't really agree that it works well in rain. It will keep you dry enough, but it gets sodden, heavy, prone to freezing solid, and takes forever to dry. I wouldn't use it if there was an serous risk of it getting wet.
You even use bigger sizes for your ski boots
@@tullochgorum6323 Good point! Will check it out! Thanks!
@@evilattitude3480 Yes Erik what was the total cost?
Legend has it that ... this man is still layering up
Layer #347
ehehehehehe
Lmao
omg...! lol!
LOLOLOLOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
I like this style of no talking in the video, then doing a voice over afterwards.
Yes, I like that too!
@@smartdrivetest me too
I lived in north pole Alaska for my freshman year of high school and instead of normal p.e. class they had a program called "project adventure" that taught us survival skills like archery and cold climate living. It was the most amazing, useful and fun time of my entire school career. That was where I learned that wool above any other material will save your life. Even if you fall through the ice and into freezing water wool can be rung out and still worn to keep you warm and alive. Goose down jackets are a no no! If they don't drag you under water by the weight of wet feathers, it'll never dry properly and usually ends up with all the down bunched up in the bottom of your coat, leaving you cold, wet and most likely dying.
Goose down is very good as long as it's dry. It's one of the best weight / warm ratio. If you don't go over water and you carry it in an hermetic bag for rain you won't risk much.
Hi. What does mean "wool can be rung out" ? May you explain? Thanks 👌
@@TheManuFace when you squeeze the fabric to drain water. Like squeezing a kitchen cloth to drain the water. We call that ringing
@@micknamer ah ok thanks 😎👌
I live in Alberta and we have very harsh winters.Wool is the only thing we rely on for survival.
When I was a kid, my family lived in Alaska. The snow was so high in our yard that I dug a tunnel into it. My sister's and I used play outside in the backyard pretending that we were roughing it in the great outdoors.
Thanks Erik for the great video. I'm always inspired by people doing videos in English when English isn't their first language. And I was cold just listening to the wind howling across the snow plain. Wind proof and some clothing bigger so it will go over a lot of layers is important. Thank you my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Your films are medicinal to me; I feel so relaxed after watching them. It's like time pauses for a while and I notice the small things in nature that I normally take for granted. Merry Christmas to you too, Erik.
David e agreed, my first EN video was a mid summer very rainy afternoon where EN pitches a tarp, builds a fire, then brews coffee under the tarp. As a HiFi person, I truly love his high end stereo microphones for recording. Listening on headphones is maximum enjoyment.
I agree his work is so restful. Just listening to his meandering pace made me feel like i was sitting next to a babbling brook without a care in the world. Sadly now back to reality...dx
This is the best video I've come across for actual cold environments. Most of them are people who live in the southern states. I live in Yellowknife Canada and winters can be cruel
Enormt bra undervisningsfilm om ordentlig vinterklädsel. Tusen tack, Erik!
Great video, thanks for highlighting our stove!! Cheers my friend!
Thanks, the pleasure is mine :)
Excellent demonstration. The plastic bag over the first layer of socks works well. Good video, Thank You.
I'm Canadian, and while I did love seeing all of your layers, especially all that Merino, I'm absolutely astounded that you haven't included a balaclava, not even anything for your neck. That's how you get tonsil issues or strep throat. Gotta keep that throat warm, and if you can get a good neoprene balaclava on under the hat, even better. It cuts the wind and cold in a way that you can't imagine.
True. Your head can need layers as much as any other part of the body. I wear a thin fabric swimming cap under my main hat just as an extra layer when it's bitterly cold.
Also it significantly warms up inflated air, making possible hard work at any temperature.
If a bear eats this guy,will shit fabric for a week. 😂
bears sleep in the winter
Yosef Tovshteyn LOL
@Hari Tavarez ouch
ahahahahaahahahahah ehehe
Lovely video and very informative.
One thing to remember is one's own weight. If one is overweight you are far more likely to have problems with sweating and overheating no matter what layering system you use.
@Mike Smith Perhaps I was being too prescriptive. Inuit people do carry more body fat than most of us and of course with good reason, they've adapted.
This is not correct. Of course an overweight person will sweat more if he/she tries to keep pace with a very fit person, because the extra weight means extra work = more heat. But as Mike says, this is about managing your speed more than anything else. In arctic conditions you should work slower to avoid sweat. If you're overweight, just reduce your speed. Moving in snow burns a lot of calories, so no need to stress :)
Undoubtedly all comments are by those fit fuckers who are first against the wall in the Zombie Apocalypse!
If I was a phone toting millennial I would say that’s a fattist issue.
But while I’m chuckling away watching your blood pressure go through the roof I will agree that “unfit” is more the problem and that causes sweat management issues. There’s also a tolerance issue as well.
Anyway just popping down to the shops to get my life’s supplies.... It’s 8° here at present and very damp. I shall be layering appropriately for my 1 1/2 mile yomp. Then back to the delights of central heating.
When the world ends I’m off to Nepal. They can live through anything there and need none of our modern kit. Unless you count the knock off gore tex sold in Namche Bazaar that’s carried over the Himalayas from China.
Don’t put a call out for me unless I’m four hours overdue - I might have stopped off at Wetherspoons (none of that posh coffee shit for me) for a warm beer....
Thank you Erik. Layering is the key to cold weather clothing.
My thin wool socks dry quite quickly on my chest while I sleep at night. I usually don’t have to use my spare pair.
Thanks mate,, I'm an Australian stuck in Italy, camping last night proved i need to learn more about warmth,, thanks for your awesome video,, cheers mate
So great that you continue to make such great videos. I really appreciate them.
I also think these kind of videos are great because they help people to get out there. Especially in the harsh conditions. I wouldn't mind some even more detailed information like the fill and fill power of the insulated jacket for example.
Thank you for all the great content!
Tack ska du ha Erik och god jul!
Om jag tittar på dina filmer minne jag mig alltid om doften av svensk skog som jag älskar so mycket. Jag bor i en stor stan i Tyskland med min familj. Hence kan vi tyvär inte kommer till Sveriges natur so ofta, bara en eller två ganger per år. Därför hjälpar dina filmer so underbar att bringa en del av Sveriges natur till mig!
Thanks for the videos and merry christmas. We´re on our way toward the light again, yeah!
?
Another excellent video by Erik Normark.
I remember as a kid in Minnesota, we put plastic bread bags over our socks, before we put our snow boots on. The boots had a removable wool felt liner. It kept the liner from getting sweaty, and also made it easier to get them on and off.
I've heard that too but have only tried it once. The boots were dry but my feet felt like they were swimming - not a good feeling.
Great video.
Thank you very much for your inspiring work, Erik.
You are one of the very few here on CZcams who is creating highly professional videos without doing marketing and advertising for stuff no one needs.
It‘s always a real pleasure to watch your content.
Have a nice and relaxed Christmas time, a peaceful new years eve and a great 2019.
Your voice is so soothing and gentle that makes watching the clip stressless.
Brother. Great video. As always. Growing up in central Newfoundland I was taught from an early age to layer. I grew up skiing and snowshoeing in the deep winter. The cold or storms never stopped me. But I will tell you something...I wish I had those foot bags years ago. They look awesome.
And there is no doubt that I will be watching in 2019. Love your videos.
Love your pure happiness with thumb up when you drinking tea or coffee 😄
Erik, thanks a lot for your videos, they are quite educational and simply enjoyable to watch.
Good info I learned about what windchill can do to you by riding a motorcycle in the cold. Hard part about staying warm on a bike is you don’t really move so you can only go for so long. Now I use heated gear omg what a difference.
First time viewer here. Nice video!
The plastic bag trick seems a really good idea. Would have loved to know that trick when I was in the Austrian military as a mountaineer. We always had very wet shoes after a hard day outside and even with the shoes in the sleeping bag they wouldn't get dry over night. Just a quick tip for those who take the big/lose shoes tip too far. Don't get them too big. I had been told you get blisters if your feet move arround to much in the shoes, espacially when you going down hill you really have to tighten them up. Don't get blisters out there!!
don't forget to pee and poo before get dressed ! ... or you'll have to start again ;)
Fran Jurado hahahah
Ahahahahhaha 😁
Respect from south korea.
Been there done that..
Let's add a built-in pee bag, or what some may call diaper
No need to thank us, it is us that needs to thank you for the videos. Happy Christmas.
You sir, are a real trooper! I find comfort in watching your videos though I am not a fan of winter. I wish to have your skills and do a camping once in an extreme weather. Thanks for the videos, stay safe.
Merry Christmas man. You are one of my best discoveries for 2018 and for me started hiking. Hope to have you here in 2019 too. Stay safe and warm.
This is one of favorite videos for practical use. I love the art among the others but I just now venturing into solo alpine winter hiking and camping this is good practical guidance.
After 40 years experience of mountaineering in northern Norway and Sweden I’d say Erik’s clothing strategy, down to the small details, is spot on. There’s only one thing I’d like to change. When arriving camp, take off the shell jacket (and put on the down jacket, of course). The shell jacket will be a bit humid on the inside. Some body heat will be spent to dry it, and this will lower the temperature in your micro climate as well as reduce comfort. Better to shake the jacket, hang it up and let the wind dry it for a minute or two. Put it back on only when you start walking/skiing.
i cannot manage to even walk with so many layers
you don't walk with so many layers. For high intensity stuff like hiking with heavy pack its 0 to 1 base layers plus pants and 1-2 base layers on body plus a soft shell. Even in 0 F you will get hot.
It’s actually not that many layers.
@@jbhann the down jacket over the shell seems a bit excessive imo
Joe Bob ..for some it may be excessive, especially for those who have a higher tolerance to colder elements. Unfortunately I’m not one of those individuals, so bring on the layers.
@@jbhann it's not that I'm against it, but this is the first I've heard of this additional insulation layer over the shell. It does make sense tho
you're freaking awesome man! thank you for existing, you give me hope .
This guy is a pro. I totally confirm constant heavy cold wind as a nightmare and wind with 33*F rain living hell. Also been through a few winter boots he is 100% correct on oversize air gap to keep feet warm. Heed this man's words! Sincerely, North Dakota Oil Field
Thank you for yet another great video, S Eric Diarra.
Excellent video. Vapor barrier inside one's boots the best idea I've seen in a while. Many thanks!
So many videos and this one video is enough... Thanks
What a man you are !
Nice job surviving those environtment and even making educational videos like this
I am watching you from Kyrgyzstan. everything is very simple and competent. super, go on !!!
Well done! Especially the emphasis on the danger of wind.
Super tips! The plastic bag between the sock layers is new to me. God Jul fra Norge!
Thanks Erik! Not just great info but a presentation style that's (not in-your-face) authentic.
You are in the right place for Christmas, have a great Holidays Erik and thank you for being out there in the freezing cold and make us dream. Enjoy your coffee!
I live in Minnesota and winter is coming. I find your advice to be quite useful.
Merry Christmas Erik. And thanks for getting me outside again in 2018. Both hiking on the AT and just going out into my backyard with my little wood stove to cook some tea.
Love from India Erik..thanks for sharing ..pls never ever stop your videos erik..
God Jul Erik och tack för alla fina videos. Jag prenumererar på en hel del extremt högkvalitativa kanaler, inte alltid direkt relaterat till outdoors, tex Laura Kampf, Adam Savage (tested), Andrew Tischler etc men dina är alltid dom som sparas till avslutningen av dagen. Helt klart ett holy moment varje gång som dyker upp. Jag hoppas snart testa på att sova under bar himmel på vintern. Något jag aldrig ens tänkt vara möjligt eller ens njutbart tills jag sett dig göra det. Tack igen.
Roligt att höra! Så länge vädret är bra så föredrar jag att sova under bar himmel. När man vant sig vid det så känns tält ganska instängt.
The best lesson on Winter clothing I have seen!
I remember a sole trip I made when I was much younger, into the Mountains of Tasmania (Australia).
The trip was intended to be of just over One Weeks duration, but ended up being just under a Month because I got Snowed in by a series of really bad Blizzards.
Whilst I survived quite comfortably, a couple of pieces of your Kit would really have added to My comfort level.
Stay Safe, Stay Well..
Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video. Good things to you.
Awesome eric!
I am going to norway in two weeks and this helps alot
Thank you for your videos this year
It made me explore and be in nature more
Greetings from the netherlands
Hello Erik, thank you for sharing this very informative video. You are the best source for helpful information about the outdoors.
🤗
This looks so much fun
It was -49 below at my house last night. You are just about dressed for this weather. All you are missing is a Canada Goose Parka and some bunny boots. Good vid for people that don't know though. Thanks.
This video had many layers. This is deep.
Hey Erik, Happy Holidays to you as well :)
I've always worn larger boots as I'm next to the youngest with two older sisters whose boots were passed on to me every year. I learned from my mom to use a plastic bag to line them and hated it because I thought it was goofy; plus my feet are unusually warm on their own so it made them sweat puddles. Needless to say, I never carried on with it after I got older. But I do understand most people get cold feet.
This is helpful info and comprehensive; I appreciate your standing in the middle of the cold, wild forest, very vulnerable in your very cute skivvies to demonstrate :)) heehee
Looking forward to seeing more videos, my friend.
The soltice is come and gone; brighter skies ahead ;)
Happy New Year!
Take Care,
Donna
Merry Christmas Erik, looking forward to another year of your video's.
Great videos, I really enjoy watching the beautiful nature of northern Sweden 🇸🇪
Great Film, great imported Information
Thanks for all your efforts ! Merry Christmas and Peace to you. ✌️🌲
Your videos are wonderful mate !! Very relaxing and interesting to watch 😊
Merry Christmas to you, and the crow.
@Goldengirl holy moment....👍
Excellent information, thank you.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge! You always have useful things to speak of
You’re videos are inspirational. Have an awesome winter. I have a feeling spring will be early this year. 🙏👍
Thanks very much for your tips and videos. I like them a lot, one of my favorite channels for sure. Happy holidays, Tim
Erik, thank you for the beautiful, deep, content you put out.
The plastic bag vapor barrier between socks was new to me. i'll have to try it out sometime.
Thank you Eric
Thank you Erik. And Merry Christmas. You’ve given me so much this year for which I am very greatful.
Useful information. I think I will hibernate during winter, or at least wait until closer to spring/summer to start hiking and camping. This is wild. Moving to Norway from NYC so maybe my mind will be changed.
Merry Christmas, Erik. Thanks for all the videos - they are extremely watchable and well made. Keep up the good work!
Merry christmas to you Eric. My best whishes for 2019 to you. And thank you for all the fantastic videos! :-)
Många bra tips! God Jul Erik🎅🎄
Very interesting video. Thank you for bringing us such beauty and very much looking forward to what you share with us in 2019. Merry Christmas!
I won't be needing such extreme precautions, but thanks anyway.. nice to see what's needed in those conditions. And yes! I'll be around next year. So have a peaceful Christmas and best wishes for next year!!
I was thinking the same that looks gear for the poles. Great video though.
Yes these clothes will keep you warm down to at least -30C, but that's quite normal to get here on a week long winter trip. See you around!
Hi Erik - Greetings from India🇮🇳...
Happy New year, I really love to watch ur adventure videos, waiting for many more, stay warm!
I worked at a doggy daycare during the polar vortex a few years ago, where we had to go from indoors to out repeatedly...without layers, that would have sucked. Also, I had three pairs of wool socks on, and a boot insulator from NASA between my feet and the snow...it was fantastic. I walked around outdoors for up to two hours at a time, shoveling, and playing w my big dogs and had no trouble with cold. Layers RULE!
Merry Christmas 2020-21! Thank you for the video. I needed the information how to keep the layer from the sock to shoe. Plastic bag is simple solution. I live in Oregon, USA so it is very wet.
Thank you Erik. Merry Christmas to you too. 🏕🎄
I've seen the bag on the foot before, but it was to keep your feet dry in case the boots leak. Your use is pretty smart, I feel like you could get swamp foot, but keeping your boots dry is key to having warm feet. I've used chemical hand warmers to dry my boots over night, it works okay.
Merry Christmas Erik! Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Har prenumererat på din kanal ett tag och tycker dom är jättebra. Den här var ju jättebra info och verkligen trevlig när du pratar 🙌🏻 det önskar jag att du gjorde på dina andra filmer oxå. Var du är och saker du upplever. Tusen tack för att vi får följa med på dina vandringar 🤗👍
Erik you rock! Thank you for all the beautiful videos.
Thanks for watching them :)
Good explanation there Erik, thank you for all the effort you put in making your video's. Looking forward to your future films!
thank you Erik ...
I love the way you talk! Keep uploading these awesome videos )
Erik youre legend !
Loved the video!
A huge tip also to keep your feet warm, is to prevent them from sweating and or getting wet. To prevent this, coat your bare feet in baby powder before putting socks on. I promise this will help immensely.
Merry Christmas Erik. I wish you a peaceful 2019.
Beautiful narative voice!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Erik, nice video!
The principle of layers... Thank you for important tips. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Erik.
A couple of misconceptions. 1. Just because the pants are synthetic material, it doesn't mean that it's water proof.
2. Waterproof materials are not very breathable because the seems are glued on the outside . though gore-tex and gore-tex pro materials are a little more breathable than other waterproof membranes, if you want something breathable, windproof, get a softshell .
3. If you sweat a lot, get a small synthetic middle layer instead of a down layer so that you can still be warm if you get sweaty or wet. It performes much better than down when Damp.
This is the first video I watch from you and I really enjoyed it .
Thanks for the useful tips. I found expecially interesting the plastic bags in the shoes to avoid to get the shoes themselves wet. Also the foot bags sound interesting. Well done video and compliments for all your work with this channel
I appreciate that, thank you!
Great video!
beautiful winter day there , great video , please have a Verry Merry Christmas ,From Calgary,AB. Canada
