Thank you all!
It wasn't buggy at all. We had quite cold spring and early summer, so there is not much of mosquitos etc. And since it was a bit windy, keeps bugs away. At the Kelvenne, Isohieta...
Yeah, this area we had full 4G (and sometimes 4g+ too) so we didn't have any worries.
Thank you! :)
Itching leads to scratching and you have the cure :) Rivers and lakes are waiting for you, go for it! :cool:
We had good time last weekend with friends, but me and my friend Tuukka spend a few days more in the beautiful national park here in middle Finland.
Video coming later, enjoy the story and photos...
Send you a message :)
Thank you all!
Water was around 16-18°C i think. surface was much warmer, some cold spots a bit deeper haha
Drone footage was done by my friend. we actually lost it when we were leaving. Took...
Thank you! Glad you like them! :)
Took quite a few hours to make this video with my phone.
One trip in Joutsijärvi. All three of us took videos and photos, share it and made our own videos. This is what i made from those.
This video has finnish voiceovers, at first i tell about this...
Thanks! :)

Thank you! :)
Thank you :) it is Béla Fleck - rocky road :)
It's the location name usually. We had lots of options, weren't concern about hanging at all :)
Firewood was only concern, it was good that we brought own wood with us :)
Thank you! :)
Hello again!
This time we went to the Päijänne National Park and man it was awesome trip!
Read about here :
https://pixabilly.wordpress.com/2017/02/27/on-the-ice-of-paijanne-national-park/
Not much of difference, even living in another countries :)
I have read about Finnish people living in Minnesota. Noticed that Shug has been hiking in Finland, MN a lot :) I didn't know about Sami...
This was a bit different trip this time, hope you enjoy :)
https://pixabilly.wordpress.com/2017/02/06/haltia-trekking-night-challenge/
Yeah, not much of difference :) And it's fun to see how everybody has their own styles to make food etc :) Good to have options!
Knife was well made and he told he got good teachers. very smooth...
Will do :) Next weekend again!
Hello all!
Hope you doing fine and having good hanging during the winter? We had great time on saturday, here is a report from Evo Recreational forest :
...
Hello from Finland, i also wait that the temps will go down enough so i can test my selva 600 too. I really like the quality of it, feels really good and also it seems to be so well made.
Btw, if...
Ok thanks, i think there is all what need to know :D
Going to test my selva 600 soon. And winter meeting is after 2 weeks :)
i have one friend who have the ukhammocks underquilt. i could compare them. what i know, seems that this Selva 600 packs same size as the UKH 3-season underquilt.
i am quite big man, so the Taiga topquilt looks quite small for me... what kind measurements taiga has? top part total wideness? middle?
Just for the information, if someone wish to have this with hydrophopic treatment, you need to email them. They will give you instructions how to pay then.
Wonder why they haven't made it as option...
Cool! I saw your photo in their instagram profile :)
How did you adjust the cords? This came with 10 meters of shock cord. Thought i install as the hammoch gear does.
Got my new underquilt, Selva 600 down with hydrophopic treatment.
Size L so this is 230cm long. 110cm wide from top and feet side 95cm. Comfort -14°C and limit -22°C
Will write a review from...
Well, if you are coming to finland someday, let me know :) We have at least one hang in a month, winter time might be a bit quiet time but that depends about weather.
And we are planning week hike...
We should have tried to get all the hammocks in there, i think there is enough room for three hangers :lol:
Mora Eldris is a really good one, got cheap offer from the kit so took the bait. And...
Thank you all! :shades: :)
This is the part of the Birgitta Trail, which is around 55 km (34.2ml) long. I have walk 1/3 of it :)
Just a simple overnighter :)
