It has been cold a few days… a couple of weeks So the waters are freezing Unfortunately the snow makes the surface a bit rough But it works! In Swedish they are called Långfärdsskridskor which means Long distance skates They are made for going long distance …on natural ice And therefore they are quite long Natural ice are often a bit rough on the surface So if the skate is long you get a smoother ride You can also go faster …which is good when you’re going long distance I’m using a ski binding …the same type of binding as on my skis So I can use the same boots Which is practical And works very well But you can have any type of binding you like If you have other type of boots as well

Amazing erik 😊 what a beautiful view👏.
Greeting from Philippines
love ur. videos,,
Thank you you. Nice start on a sunday ! Do you have any “trips” that one can attent ?
Jag väntar fortfarande på snö här nere i Mälardalen.
👍🏽 beautiful
It's difficult to imagine it being that cold anywhere at the moment, hopefully Santa is busy whipping the elves in the sweatshop & not wasting time playing in the snow. Great sequence where you head for the bridge & a train passes overhead, that's what you call timing.

Coffee ceremony .
Must cover ground so quickly.
Cool!
Botniabanan? Nice trainspotting.
It sounds crunchy and happy. Thank you for sharing. The echoing sound on river and lake ice is eerie and lovely.
You can't do that around here.
Wow never heard of or seen these skates before, awesome 👍
Vad är det för skridskor och kängor du har?
Härligt med is och snö! Här i Småland är det ännu höst. ☕️😀❄️
Erik, hur bär du en vattenkokare? Han är sot
Wow~ It's a great tool for skating on frozen river. Wonderful~ 🙂
Great!! 😀😀👏👏👏👏
Tack för filmen . Nu ska jag och hunden ut i skogen och koka kaffe 🙂
Nice👍👍👍
Very nice video
A relative of mine owns land in Kåtabergen, just beside Petikån.
Saludos desde Argentina Erik
Excellent time out.I love those long term skates
Another mini-masterpiece. Bravo!
Wonderful as usual. Seems very cold very early this year.
Bom vídeo Erik.
Abraço do Brasil
Günaydın dostum
The vids by Erik seem to cause a yearning to be there more than almost any other vlog does. It's been so long since we've had a proper winter where I live. Climate in crisis.
Wow Erik, another beautiful awesome video. Thanks
Älskar dina video🙏 , vart bor du?
Excellent.different end👍👍👍👍👍
Erik in what part of sweden do you live?
Sehr gut, danke.
Fire, on top of snow, with a single match.. No problem for Erik. Lmao
อยากไปลองเล่นจัง
You put music or radio

I'm just waiting for that thumbs up of yours. A slight speedier variant this time. Interesting.
What is the stick for?

Amazing
Good morning from Connecticut USA. Having my "holy moment"… Coffee 👍
👍👍
Thanks for your beautiful videos.From Greece..PEACE!
Nice one I wish we got proper snowy winters like that in England instead of all this non stop relentless rain….
Crikey! I could feel your fingers turning to ice as you took the gloves off to make your fire. Amazing to watch you chip away at that frozen river and not get hurt by shards. And I learned that you folk in frozen areas have blades for different ice surfaces. It's not all smooth as I'd imagined. 😊 from Queensland, Australia ⛱
Nice skates!
Are those Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski Mitts you are wearing?
I love that skate system you have. I'm going to try that. 🙂☕👍
정말 아름다운 나라군.한국은 왼쪽으로는 중국에서 날아오는 미세먼지 때문에 고통을 당하고 오른쪽엔 전범국 일본놈들이 방사능을 뿌려데는 지옥같은곳인데 저곳은 하늘이 저렇게 맑다니
Love the cold and the snow. Nicely recorded.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Erik!
Красиво ! Хорошая сьемка . Шведы ,очень любят природу ,молодцы !!! Уважение !
Sunday morning. Eric Normark film. Coffee…👍
Those ice skates are awesome. You could really cover a lot of miles with those. What's the long pole used for?
Excellent! Your videos always bring back memories from my youth in Pennsylvania. Ice hockey on ponds, skating up river, even wearing boots in the snow. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Thanks!
Your audio and video are outstanding. Brrr!
Pls fill snow in kettle to make water instead of direct water because that sound is awesome 🌨️😍
👍👍👌👍⛸👌👍👍
What is your longest trip on those type of skates? That is very interesting to me.
Wow..super cool video.
Já dou o sinal de positivo, antes de você, na hora em que toma café, kkkkkk
Thank you for your videos very much. I and my daughter enjoy watching your videos and especially winter camping. We are from Canada and very much enjoy outdoors as well. Thank you for inspiring other people and passing the experience through videos so well.
I get so much enjoyment from your videos. I know you thank us for watching, but the real thanks goes to you for making them. And please keep those hallmark moments, the Crowe, the ☕️and, 👍. All the best from Ontario Canada
It has been years since I've I skated on a frozen pond back in the thirties thank you for sharing it brought back memories
Hi Erik what sleeping bag do you use during the winter period ?
Cool Erik! 🙂
Hej Erik, looks like northern Sweden had a very short autumn. It’s amazing that the river is frozen enough for you to skate on so early before winter. You excel at making fires on almost any surface to brew your coffee. Great video, especially the train on the viaduct as you were skating upriver. Tack sa mycket.
What is this ski called? I have never seen this like.
Amazing!
Never knew river ice skating was a thing! So cool
Great work on the video! You just need a hockey stick! 🏒🍁
Finding peace in solitude, but willing to share it with shows great virtue. A million thanks from Seattle, WA.
My legs were aching just from watching 🙂
So nice! Cant wait for the ice to settle on our lakes down here in the ”south” as well 🙏 Early winter is it?
Awesome!!
Thanks for explaining about your skates, we don't have a use for them in England.
Are those Alfa shoes? Is it winter edition with padding/insulation? How do you like them? Im thinking of getting regular 3 season alfa shoes (non winter version, as i have columbia omni heats for 0 to -10c, and then sorel caribous for -10c and lower) often comes on sale at xxl, for like 799kr instead of 1500 or so. Thinking to give Alfa a try, and wondering if its worth it.
Thanks for the video, It must be great being able to travel longer distances in that weather. Do you use that system for overnight camps ?
Отличное видео! спасибо Эрик.
Hello from Bulgaria. Nice skates. Great video as always.
You make it look easy! Your cold icy world is very beautiful. Cheers 🙂
Beautiful Erik. It doesn't get that cold in Tennessee but your rainy day hikes have given me inspiration to do my own. Thanks Jeff
Did you learn all your outdoor skills from your father and mother?
I do wish our rivers would freeze over so we could skate down them, but then they tend to be fast flowing and this does not tend to be good for skating.
Thanks for another inspiring video.
The skates return. For my use or interest no, but I will admit fascination with skate that uses an NNN BC binding. Great visual story, bringing in the environment, a nod to the gear then listening to the wild. Trains are always cool too.
