The winter is finally over on the Northern hemisphere. To celebrate the winter gone and to make-up some of the quiet time in the blog, I will publish a three-part wrap up of my outdoor activities over the last winter. All the posts will be somewhat photo-heavy and lengthy (this one seems to be around […]

It has been silent here for a long time. But I’m not dead. Sorry. 😉 I thought it would be good to brush some of the dust and cobwebs away and shortly tell what I’ve been up to and what I’m planning to do. And also to remind you that: the rivers are flooding, days […]

Why are you leaving so early again, dear winter? It seems that it’s time to say farewell to the winter who is leaving the Southern Finland too early again. Way too early. The winter here was short but not as bad as the previous one either: We had a decent amount of snow and the […]

No, unfortunately I don’t have any new packrafting toys for myself but there have been few very cool new products hitting the market this summer. And even though I’ve tweeted about every one of the new toys they are also worth a blog post as I have readers who don’t follow me on Twitter. (For […]

Ivalojoki, one of the four big wilderness rivers in Finland. It is said to be the most beautiful of them all and after packrafting the Lätäseno ja Pöyrisjoki rivers I thought it was finally time to check out the Ivalojoki. (Näätämö river has to wait little more.) Mid-July with a heat wave isn’t maybe the […]

Yesterday during our night chores we heard strange jeep kind of […]

For the last three weeks I have been teasing you with my trip plans for this summer. I’ve been given several clues but apparently the guessing  was too difficult as there were no right answers. So, it’s time to reveal the bold plans! But first… the winner of the competition! Even though there were no […]

Packing for a long work stint in the North I tend to notice I have a lots of unused outdoor stuff and this winter season is no exception. Here I’ve listed pile of stuff for sale, mostly small and affordable. Some of it used, some new and unused. I hope you’ll have more use for […]

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 […]

As usual big expedition are not good for your bank account. And to avoid personal bankruptcy I’m selling some kit I’m not using enough to justify owning it. Most of it is winter kit but as you know, the winter is right around the corner and now is a good time to stock for the […]

Even though you may not believe it, I’m not dead. I’ve just been busy and lazy. To fill you up what’s been going on lately, here is a brief summary of the past 1+ month of silence – and some cool links & videos. After the guide school ended at June 8th we had a […]
