Winter Camping on the Ice 

I particularly love your winter videos Erik. You a the very definition of a man who is at ease in the elements. Superb work as ever. Thank you

So beautiful and peaceful if one can endure the long darkness, and the cold. The flames around the teapot and the call of the black woodpecker - magical moment.

Thanks so much. I can't begin to tell you how intriguing, interesting and entertaining your videos are. The scenery, camera work, sound and editing are outstanding. Thanks again for taking me to a better place, lowering my blood pressure and motivating me to set up an excursion of my own. Be safe-Be well

Erik doesn't talk much but tells great little stories anyway. Thank you, I appreciate highly! Did you have to walk back home all the way because of snow?

the other problem with the snow is you had to walk back ... love skating on the ice you can travel so far quickly ,, always great Erik ..thank you Sir...

A well placed tent, given shelter by the trees - though I think I'd have turned my tent around to get the view :) Great upload, and great to see the Iceman back again! 👍🏻😎

Very cold, the snow and the ice but also very beautiful and tranquil!!🙏☃️👌 Thanks a lot!!🎉 Best wishes!! 💐🌺🌺🤗

Wow, this was an amazing video! I loved the icy and cold nature. It looks like a fairytale to me...beautiful and almost unreal. Also the fire made a magical atmosphere. Great idea with the skates too. 😉 But on top of it all you have my respect that you're camping in such cold weather.

Watching this video makes me cold! Those skates are so neat..I’m sure you’ve played hockey. I like how you mention the time Looking forward to more winter camping videos Take care and stay warm and dry 🇨🇦 ❤️

I really long for the snow, we don’t have any yet. My favourite moment of this video was when you skated 😊👍

Soundscape and landscape captured and shared with great simplicity which comes from lots of hard work and wise editing... as always, superior work Erik. Thanks.

Such a wonderful video. I use the Alpkit Hunka XL bivvy to stop my down bag getting wet from the condensation in winter. It is really great addition to my winter sleep system.

Endnu engang tak for en fantastisk film. Det med ventilationen, og våd sovepose, er et problem altid, også her i Danmark, selvom vi ikke har minus grader, eller sne.....

Härlig film Erik, Nu längtar man tills isarna lägger sig här nere i södern!! Ha de gött//Johan

Great relaxing winter video Erik - well done as always.

Magic, so love the soundscapes, the ice adding an extra dimension.

サイコーです。あなたの動画を見てキャンプにはまりました😁誰もいない場所、最低限の装備、大好きです👍

A cold, but "heavenly moment" once again. Thanks for inviting us to go along with you Erik. Be safe!

Five stars Erik, among your all-time best short videos, I think.

Another holy moment

Tack för denna video och hoppas du får en bra första advent idag!

I have a Soulo Erik. I always leave the doors unzipped, perhaps 10-12cm but it’s enough to prevent condensation. Hope this works for you. Best wishes from Scotland.

Eric if you cover your sleeping bag with a lightweight nylon poncho, the condensation lands on the poncho and doesn't get the bag wet. I almost froze to death from that when I was driving up the ALCAN Hwy. In 1974. I slept in the back of my VW micro bus. My bag got soaked. Fortunately I had stopped at a truck weigh station and they let me come in. Haines Junction Canada 🇨🇦

Erik ozletiyorsun kendini bre zındık😊cok ara verme.seviyoruz seni.💛💙

Good morning Erik! Beautiful video and audio is absolutely superb! Is 10cm of ice enough? Be safe, regards from Czechia!

Tack Erik ! Jag blir sugen att leta fram mina gamla skridskor....

Brings back many a wonderful memory. Don't get old lad. Keep doing what you are doing.

-5 .. it looks much colder. It must be the sound of that wind.. The low light filming is again stunning. As for the booming ice sounds.

Fantastiskt bra film! Älskar dina vinterfilmer. Här i Småland är det bara grått och regnigt.

A wonderful and daring adventure in this harsh weather, are you alone? What if you get into an accident!? I think camping is supposed to be two people with a dog Greetings🌺👍❤️🌹

Greetings! I always enjoy watching your outdoor adventure films. The accents that you make on the sounds of nature, birdsong, the sound of wind and water, the rustle of plants are impressive. I really like the setting of your projects. As you can see, you are an extraordinary person. Good luck, Eric! More movies and adventures! With respect!

A great video as usual! As someone who has a Hilleberg Unna tent, I've used this in snowy winters here in Canada, and one thing I do to prevent snow from pressing down onto the vents is to ensure I guy line the tent, and tight enough to keep the tent from sagging with the weight of snow. I was considering getting an Allak 2, but might opt-in for the Staika. All in all, I enjoy your videos and look forward to every new one you put out. Thanks!

I really like watching your movies. When I was a boy, I used to wander around in winter. It was my favorite activity. Greetings from Poland

Pretty great. That coffee looked especially good in those conditions. Thanks, Erik. 🏕️☕👍🙂

Your videos are so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up! ;-)

Great, very great. Thank you very much. outdoor greetings frankie

Magical location. Hardcore camping! I notice you seldom use a fire steel, any particular reason?

Snow and ice we only have in what seems to be very few days a year. Thou snow an constant - celsius degrees have its own problems, I really do miss the experiences the cold brings to being outside. Great video as always!

Sounds from the ice is magical.!! That coffee must have tasted better than usual..

You skate like Lucas Raymond! Go Red Wings!

You should check out Jonna Jinton, it's a sweden girl doing videos like you.

I can only image how good that coffee tasted on such a cold morning! Thanks for sharing this beautiful and courageous experience with us Erik.

This has calmed me down. Thank you.

Thank you Eric for filming, editing these beautiful outdoors coffee making experiences 👍😊

I did it in Finland

The way I understand it, though down has the most insulating value by weight, synthetic fill stays warmer when wet. I suppose it is a tough decision to know which one to bring.

Another great video! So relaxing and beautiful, thank you

Lovr from Everest region. Keep up the good work buddy ❤🙏

No hype, no bullshit. Straight up explanations. Man of few words. Love this channel.

Thank you from the pyrenees mountains in France.

👛🌺Hi Erik, Love to see you camping on ice on Christmas This year with a coffee moment. 👛🌺WE LOVE YOU.

Erik, what is the solution for the condensation in this particular situation? Synthetic sleeping bag? You chose your camp in the lee of the forest at the edge of lake, where the prevailing winds would not affect you too much. Great to see the long skates. Fantastic experience bounding across a lake with those on your feet. I wonder if you are a hockey player. As always, thanks for sharing these extraordinary experiences. :) Cheers

Thanks once again Erik, another great video and a great start to your selection of winter vlogs and experiences for us all to savour and delight in.Keep them coming.....

Yeah...winter is coming

I like your videos the best. I am very happy.

Great shot of your campfire from a distance at 6:05…

The hunters over here always put tarps over their tents during the winter. I wonder if something like that could help prevent condensation if you rig it up where air can still vent through somehow. I wouldn't think a tarp would add too much more pack weight.

Every time I watch your videos, I go into a total state of relaxation. Keep these adventures coming. Peace

So cool. Skates on a frozen lake. I'd like to do that, but live in the wrong part of the planet for such fun. Thanks Erik - that was a treat.

As always an almost perfect video. Only thing missing was a much younger me out there with you. Thanks for taking all of us along who are no longer able to do this. You really capture the beauty and peacefulness of the winter landscape and experience.

I come from a much warmer climate so it always has me uneasy seeing people on top of ice like this even though I’m sure its perfectly safe

Great video Erik simply amazing the impact of the winter nature with a spartan tent ⛺️. I learn every time from your video big advice for me. Great 👍

I am preparing myself for the my very first winter camping and watching your videos make me want it even more. How I wish I would live in Sweden - such a magical nature ! Big respect!

Stämningsfull film. Gillade bilden vid 6:08 när elden brann från avstånd.

Great video once again. I have heard the ice talking.

How do you in know that is safe to skate over the ice?

Thank you Erik for another great video! I’m always blown away by the colors in your videos. Do you use the standard color profile (8-bit) or an external recorder? Besides that do you use nd-filters? Greetings from Belgium. Peje

That tea kettle is a true veteran. It’s become a time clock of your outdoors experience.

Erik undertakes every task in the right sequence and at deliberate but measured pace. Energy and resources are precious in the cold. Every movement is precise. The hallmark of experience.

Hi Erik, You seem well, Cheers!

👍 .. and another 👍 for the 'Holy Moment'. Your comment on the reality of 'condensation' notwithstanding various manufacturer 'technical specifications' .. good food for thought .. thanks.

Small talk big nature😍

I was looking forward for the first ice video! Beautiful.

Hi Erik :) i know im boring with saying this all the time...but its good to see you again ;) i really like that moment on 5;32 when light from fire dances on trees...very nice. oh and btw...175k subs...hm...i wonder how you feel about it ;)

So beautiful video so peaceful and calming Love ❤️ winter ❄️ scenes so beautiful Making coffee ☕️ is really enjoyable for watching ☕️☕️Thanks Erik for this lovely video and your hard work ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Maybe it would have been better to leave the tent door open and use the tent as a tarp to avoid condensation . Sometimes I put a tarp in front of the tent opening knowing it will snow so I can leave the door open for more ventilation . Thanks for the nice winter video !

Super cool camping sides excellent work big like for you

Hi Erik... There has been an official Hilleberg "recall" on the blue and white shock-cord inside the tent poles... Contact the service desk, and they probably replace it for free...

Thank you for a very good location not found in Japan.😄👍

Great peaceful film again Erik. Thanks a million !

Ah...another peaceful, magical and beautiful video...and the Ravens are ever with you...ATB with gratitude

Purely magical.

Väldigt fin, vacker och spännande film. Älskade isens ljud under dina skridskor, och spillkråkan, samt snöyran tidigt på morgonen. Färgkontrasterna var enormt fina när du satt i mörkret framför elden. Tusen tack, Erik!

That’s some rough weather to wake up to. Nothing a cup of coffee can’t fix though! 👍

Your videos are like always, so peaceful and quiet, the train in the back is not a problem in my opinion at least. Have you ever had problems with your tent in heavy snowfall, the tent being flattened down too much? Have you tried a waterproof "liner"around the lower part of your sleeping bag, could just be a large garbage bag and it should just cover the footend maybe 60-70 cm or so. Thats the part most often touching the inner tent.

Love the sound of ice or snow under a boot! Excited for your winter camping videos!

Started watching video and Waiting for Coffee Thumbs-up moment.... 👍

Muchas gracias por compartir

Winter is back. Loved this one. The skating shots at the start were fantastic. Does anyone know what kettle Erik uses? Thanks. 👍☕️

Hej Erik, återigen en väldigt fin video 👍 och äntligen igen med en brun Iglo.🏕️ Jag ser verkligen fram emot vintern ❄️⛄ Hälsningar från Berlin 🐻🌄

Amazing beauty

Ohhh waktu 02.30 pm Sudah gelap .....aku belum pernah lihat fenomena seperti itu ...

And here in PL, 0 snow

Your Black Woodpecker sounds a lot different to our green or spotted ones. Superb as always. Noel

Actually, you're a great landscape photographer! Thanks for your work.

Words cannot describe this. Amazing content. I would like to ask you a question. Is there any danger about wildlife? I mean bears (probably in hibernation) ,wolves etc. I dont know the specific region but i had that destitution. Thank you.

Good to be out That is the first time I have heard you say you were cold Must be the beginning of the season

Erik, your videos are phenomenal! Really enjoy watching being an outdoorsman myself. Always makes me look forward to my next trip! Keep it up!

Good weekend.

Advance Merry Christmas Sir and happy winter snow 😁 love your videos
