It’s been a while since the last post. A bit too long time to be honest but as I’ve tweeted, some things have kept me occupied. This post is about those things. The main reason for the radio silence… As most of you know, about three weeks ago I started a one-year-program to become a […]

Sorry folks but the trip report from the packrafting trip is still under construction as I have been busy with things like life and will be starting my wilderness guide school in about 8 hours… Instead of a real trip report, here is a bunch of pictures from the second trip. The trip included hiking […]

I haven’t been writing “Recommended read” posts for a while as I haven’t had much time to enjoy all the great outdoor blogs out there but some time ago I read a couple of posts so good that I really have to share them also in the blog in addition to typical sharing in Twitter. […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 26/03/2012 The wind and the rain went on all night. There was no visible change in the morning, so we slept 12 hours straight. In the afternoon we noticed that the time to cease the moment had came and packed up the camp. Like yesterday, the girls had the dubious privilege […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 28/03/2012 Last night it finally came: below zero temperatures! After days of sleet and rain the frost turned our skis faster than ever. In addition all of our gear went to deep froze. We got our stiff Gore-Tex harness on and had to dig our tent for quite some time to […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 30/03/2012 Lots of exciting things has happened since the last post, but because our Yellowbrick isn’t working like it’s supposed and censors arbitrarily parts of the text, we’ll just have to summarise (which is rather boring..). Yesterday during our night chores we heard strange jeep kind of (jeepish?) sounds which we […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 06/04/2012 The weather forecast predicted mild 10 m/s breeze for the night, but at small hours the tent got a full load of Vatnajökulls gentle blow and the sound was so terrible that we felt sorry for him. We’ve now realized that the only trustworthy part of the weather forecast is […]

This is a shortish update post about my future plans as what the tomorrow brings will also affect the blog quite a bit. The midsummer is now gone and it’s time to see what the tomorrow brings… At the moment I am working in a university and among other things I am doing my master’s […]

ALL PACKRAFTERS IN FINLAND – UNITE! At the river in August 2014. We’d like to invite you to the first ever gathering of packrafters in Finland. A well seasoned veteran, happy owner of a new boat or a complete beginner with a borrowed or rented boat – all are welcome! From Finland or from abroad, […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 26/03/2012 The packing took quite a while and it wasn’t until the small hours before we hit the hay. But the sleep was deep and when our driver Helgi in his cute little car (read: fierce off-roader) arrived to pick us up, we felt well rested. The road we took in […]

The blog has been quiet as I’ve been busy with my work as a husky tour guide and with my own winter guiding projects (meaning 10-14 hours per day, sometimes over-night, seven days a week). And again I don’t have too much time to write but I’ve been taking photos and here are some from […]
