The Smoking Sea and a Fire on Ice
It's December and cold. Smoke rises from the freezing Bothnian bay, Bottenviken. I'm taking a trip on the ice, enjoying the short daylight, the cold and a good cup of coffee made on a fire on ice.

My 3yo son loves watching these films with me. Sometimes he wants to play that he is making coffee over open flames, then he "drinks" it and makes the thumbs up, and says "Jag är Erik Normark" ("I am Erik Normark"). Then on saturdays we have to go out in our forest and really make a fire. So inspiring!

I liked the older videos where it showed Erik scooping the coffee from the bag.

I love the thumbnail of the video. 'He walks into winter.'
No music, no talking and no effects….everything speaks for itself. Amazing! Thanks Erik for presenting us nature in the best possible way!
Your images of the sea in winter are as clear and pure as the tones from that wind chime. Thank you.
Top👍 Freue mich Sonntags immer sehr wenn es hier auf deinem YT Kanal ein neues kleines und sehr feines Naturabenteuerhier von Dir zu sehen gibt. Danke dafür viele Grüße
A balm for the soul, in this noisy, over-hyped world. 🙏

Some time ago I subscribed and hit that bell. As usual...as soon as I get notified of a new video I hit that thumbs up...before even watching it. I just know its going to be good. Another gem....Thanks so much for bringing us along.

Word.... That's wut Iam saying ...Mee too
This quality of filmmaking every week certainly is a treat. Thank you, Erik. ☕👍🙂
Thank you so much for your videos Erik. I spent 4 years working for the Red Cross, in a very stressful job, and I used your videos when I had a lunch break to let go of the stress. You've made me want to visit your beautiful country, which my wife and I plan to, we'd love to go trekking in the beautiful mountains there. We live i Aotearoa New Zealand.
l wish so much l could be there 😌 Even if freezing. One day... ⭐️
Thank you Eric. That was lovely. Winter in the snow in Sweden is something really special. So quiet. I completely adore your films
Absolutely, stunning! A masterpiece - yes!
Tack för att du delar dessa ögonblick med oss. En bra start på dagen 👍
I love how you embrace each new season Erik. You are such an inspiration! Thank you
Your videos a few years ago were already fantastic. And you still improved so much. Your channel is one of the most reliable stress relief to me. Thank you for creating something so beautiful.
Loved those sights, sounds and the aromas of the wood fire coffe.. Holy moments indeed.. Thanks for the soul touching videos...
I am sooooo addicted to this channel !!. Great job Eric. Did any one notice at 2:03 in the video there was a "Snow Bow" coined from the term rainbow. There wasn't much green red or blue but there was amber, yellow and a hint of orange the shape of a straight column going down the middle of the screen just before the wind chimes showed up. Got to love the internet, Erik is chasing winter weather nature scenes and here I am watching them as I prepare for a Tornado Chase in Tennessee USA with a storm spotter crew. 4:00 AM is the predicted arrival time of a big turbulent system. Funny Erik and I are at opposite ends of the globe but kinda sorta doing the same thing. Watching mother nature. And I wonder why I have had 4 heart attacks!! Great job Erik stay safe.

Is it a snowbow, or one corner of a sundog?
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. Erik, you discovered a new route 👍
You're able to capture the beauty of the outdoors very well on camera, can almost live in trance when watching.
Wow, listen to that ice talk. That second inversion D major on your wind chimes is quite nice too.
Lovely, calm and beautifully wintery video. A lot of thought went into the use of the wind chimes in the edit too. Fantastic and thanks Erik. Ben, London 🇬🇧
I've been so grateful for your films for such a long time, and now I finally watched this one with high quality headphones (instead of laptop speakers) and I can't recommend it enough to all of you out there who love Erik's videos. Thank you Erik for all you do. It really is medicine.

Pannkaksglass jättefin, tack för vinterbilderna från norra Sverige 👍
Something about the powerful winters that fills us with sadness that the summer is once again out of our grasp and the darkness sets day by day. But if you brace yourself with warm clothes, hot drinks and a fire, the winter embraces you instead. What is dead shall come alive again.
Thank you, these films help even if I can't be there in person. You capture the beauty of the landscape perfectly.
but wait ... the chime said spring... such nice scenery - a man and a seal ... wow...
Beautiful. Peaceful. Cool to see a seal! Surprising to see wind chimes. Thanks for another great video!
Sublime moments here Erik! Sound as a creature in it's own right and winter's light hinting at transcendence. Nobody else does what you do, I am very glad I found your channel.
I have lived my whole life in Deep South USA and have no clue what life is like in your area of the world. This is beautiful scenery and I thank you for taking us along. ABBA’s creation is so very beautiful.
Great video and I love that meteo in the winter thank to share your 👍very appreciate every time see you soon Benny
Beautiful sound and visuals. You are easily one of the most poetic presenters of quiet nature that I’ve discovered. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you, Erik. Today I went to my usual sunday hike in the Alps, the cold season is advancing steadily here too, chilly dry air and powdery snow. I've learnt from you not to aim for performance and find a pace in line with nature and its forces. I found myself going for shorter hikes and allow myself to wait and observe. I found peace and enjoyment today, my memories are plentiful: shift in light, odours, sound from the wind, wildlife, the melting snow. Thank you.
My sense is that you put a lot of thought & heart into your videos. Thank you for that.
Beautiful. Peace and solitude.
Thank you for always showing us the beauty of your land.
So calming and beautiful, perfect as usual! I've read in comments below that someone watch these videos with kids and it sounds so cool. Imagine a person formed on such videos, a calm and self-aware character it could form. Could be a real bless in our hysterical times.
🌈💖The view is breath taking, Erik. Have a Gorgeous Christmas Spirit.
Love the cold winter landscabe.Its very relaxing.Thanks for sharing this beautiful film.

Just perfect!!
Brr…glad you made a fire and coffee! The chimes were a nice sound but haunting at the same time Take care ❤️ 🇨🇦
Love the slowly freezing anticipation..
This is the most criminally underwatched channel on youtube. Bravo, Erik.
Beautiful lucky you thank you for this amazing videos merry Christmas from Hazel in the UK
Keeps it simple in making fire and fire wood . Nothing crazy with axes or saws to make it complicated. Plus I don't see protein packs etc. Luckily , you could live on coffee (easier the better ) ✌️😄
One of best video,musik of that ring was amaising.
awesome photography and the sound
Another great video. Thanks mate 😁👍🏻
☕️👍🏻 love it 🏕🏔🏴
What a treat with the Seal sighting.
Echt schön Vielen Dank aus Deutschland für die tollen Eindrücke Alles gute
The sights and sounds are amazing! You really did a great job Eric!
Great shot at 2:30 of you walking in out of a solid white background. Thanks! I really enjoy your videos.
Stunning location & videography. Loved those wind chimes too.
Another beautiful film Erik. Thank you.
Ahhh...you so skillfully show us the living nature of the water...sighing as it freezes in the Bay...snowflakes fluttering down to the sound of the wind chimes...another masterpiece. I look forward to your videos as a way to simply relax and melt into the peacefulness...like melting icicles...thanks so very much. And of course your coffee is always a "holy moment!" 😃
💚👍☕ Whish I was out as much as you! 😃 Beautiful pictures again, great! Season greetings❣️ Keep to Jesus 💕 ❣️
Hola Erik Saludos desde México , gracias por compartir tus aventuras y los excelentes paisajes.
Beautiful
Next nigth I will do my first solo winter camping in a pre built shelter. Last winter and wery early spring i did test my gear in cold. Not very cold. Öland and maybe a few below zero. Thanks for inspiring.
The Swedish always have the best outdoor videos. I watch many other bushcraft and hiking channels and I'm happy to find that yours has a different type of feeling in it. Great work! 💯
Its hard to beat a traditional fire! Great video as always

Smoke on the water 😎
What a beautiful title. So enchanting to watch from the warmth of home. It must have been so cold for you. Thank you for going to these extremes.
Thanks for the video, love the wind chimes.
absolutely lovely how you had the wind chimes at the start of the video and in the end. With the sound flowing from one scene to the next.
Thank you very much. 👍
Great atmosphere as usual. Beauty of the nature in pure form. Your eye for the natural beauty is a gift. Keep sharing with us your experiences. Wish you Happy holidays!
Stunning work!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Great video, excellent editing. I liked the wind chime sequence. Love your audio recordings…
I love your style.
The chime sounds like a Clint Eastwood film.
Such a beautiful shots, Erik! Others might have chosen warm indoors instead. The coffee & fire on the ice in total isolation is actually a concept of full inclusion - awesome embedding into the environment. Enjoy the forthcoming weekend, and Greetings from Finland, Janne
Just ...beautyfull 😍 Greetings from Hiking & Camping Team Rzeszów, Poland 👋
Magically!!! What a promising inscription on the chime of the wind !!! Thanks Eric ..... Good luck !!!
😮 WHOA DANGGGGGG THIS IS BREATH TAKING BEAUTIFUL....
Merry Christmas to the whole Family!! 🎅 A Greeting.
Very beautiful! The seal at the end was a nice surprise.
Perfect
You capture the most amazing atmospheres Erik👌
This is one of my favourite videos you have made Erik! From the ocean breathing to the fire crackling and the sound of the chimes. Amazing! Also the imagery was fantastic! Cheers☕️👍
So calming and peaceful, loved it
Just beautiful
Absolutely fantastic shoots Erik! 🤠👍🏻
Beautiful! I am so thankful for the serenity and magic of Wintertime! Thank you, Eric! Well done.
chilled in every way
Very nice landscapes!
The ice palace. Great video
Nice as always. Thank you.
Nice and quiet
Breathtaking!!!!
Thank you
At 8:43 mark that fire would of been a nice cooking fire for a Steak & Potatoes. You have Seals swimming with just their head exposed. We have Alligators doing the same. Different locations different wildlife and weather.
