Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 26/06/2011 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 […]

Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 25/02/2012 Not so long ago I published an announcement about my future skiing trip to Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. I promised that there would be more info online by end of the week. Well, it didn’t quite happen during the last week. But now the plane tickets are booked and most […]
As you know, I’m back from my own three-week ski expedition to Svalbard. My reports from the ice are found in my blog under the category Ultima Thule 2011 and then there is the official expedition blog in Finnish. There will be some more posts and a lot of pictures from the trip later but […]
Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 10/03/2012 The bad weather continued in the morning and we decided to wait for few hours. The waiting paid of and we started the day in reasonable weather but it soon turned into 15+m/s gusts with snow. Later the weather got better and we did our daily mileage in a bit […]
Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 28/01/2012 During the internship period I didn’t have that much time to read blogs and enjoy the great articles and videos of other people but few things caught my eye. This time all the stuff is related to either winter travel on skis or to packrafting. Enjoy! Winter Travel in Fast […]
Posted by Korpi-Jaakko on 02/04/2012 The expedition has conquered Hvannadalshnjukur today in super cooled rain and weak visibility, toughened from yesterday’s events. We had a relaxed day at the glacier: reggae was playing and we were skiing in our Hawaii shirts. We have a full day’s work ahead of us tomorrow. We must ski over […]
This is “one from the archives” i.e. one of those trips I did but haven’t written about. But it was such a nice trip, it deserves to be blogged about and I thought now would be a good time since I’m again on my way to the same area… Last year I was guiding a […]
About a year ago I wrote about Spruce tips and my dreams living of the land. During the last year many things have changed and evolved but I’m still dreaming of partially living of the land in the future and because of that I have been doing some experiments with resources freely available from the […]
Another overnighter trip report! Sorry, if you are getting bored. I’ll try write about kit/gear/stuff later, and of course finish the posts about the past winter. But for now, trip report it is! My original plan was to spend the festive mid-summer weekend, Juhannus as we call it, working and I really didn’t have any […]
You know all these fancy names for simple trip that includes spending the night in the woods, hills or other wild(ish) place? S24h, microadventure, extreme sleeps, Browernighter™ and the like. Well, last week I decided to go for a one as I needed to treat my chronic post-trip hangover. The summer in Finland is at its […]
Only a week ago I wrote a short “Heads up” post about the new Altai Hok short skis, or fast shoes. (My initial impression about the original Hok 125s can be found from here.) The last weekend I was at the annual meeting of the Arctic Club of Finland speaking about the Vatnajökull 2012 expedition […]
