I have a variety of G1000 items. A jacket, 2 pairs of trousers, a shirt and a pair of gloves. The wax remains in them for about 3-5 washes, but some of it is washed away of course. The factory wax is good, but there isn't a lot of it, so it will wash away faster. Make sure you use a hairdryer on...

It's strange since most Estonians really don't like Vana Tallinn. It's like the 80% Vodka we only give to foreigners. :) Actually I don't think it's that bad with Vana Tallinn, but people mostly prefer something else I think. On what occasions have you been in Tallinn?

Thanks guys for your initial comments and encouragement! I have now managed to write a couple of bits of proper content as well. I'll add the RMK Android and iPhone apps under resources aswell. It would be lovely to have you return. I will not be able to come to the Moot this year, but I...

Last updated at 26.05.2013 Foreword This is a guide compiled by me about Estonia, my home country, from a bushcrafting and camping perspective. I believe it is a perfect place for a bushcraft camping trip because of the wilderness, accessibility and prices. This guide will expand by editing...

My experience is that there is no such thing as a "weekend pack". The only thing that is different in a week pack compared to a weekend one is more food. I like to take all my hygene stuff on weekends too, so it's just a matter of more food. With that being said my Granite Gear Crown V.C. is...

Just to add to this: It's better to measure your sitting height. I'm 6'1'' and I can sit up fine in my Akto (90cm internal height).

You only have to pay and pre-book the more luxurious facilities like forest huts and houses. There's not that many of them...

Just to add to Paul's points: If you go here and use a bit of Google Translate you can search for campsites: http://loodusegakoos.ee/kuhuminna/voimaluste-otsing When there's a snowflake in the list that comes up that means the site is maintained during the winter.

Spot on. Usually February is our coldest month and -25 at nights is what you would prepare for. I think I took this picture in February:

I have a week long vacation coming up and based on your pictures (especially that lodge) I'll probably spend some days in Oandu if the weather allows it. :) I've never actually been there myself. It's close to the road and the beaver trail and another 4,7km trail are nearby. I'll take a...

Great write-up Paul! It makes my heart warm to see someone has enjoyed my country so much. :) It was very nice meeting you and sharing thoughts on all manner of topics. I'm glad you saw and took pictures of some wildlife too. Sadly the snow was melting and tracks were hard to identify. And...

Great pictures! :) Just remind me to take a vacation the next time some of you come so I can spend more time in the woods with you!

Glad to hear you guys are back home safely! It was a joy meeting you and I hope it gave you inspiration to return some day. It sure as hell gave me inspiration to come to the UK at some point. And if I manage to upload the pictures then maybe they can inspire someone else to come here...

I'll soon post the bulk of the pictures we took on Saturday! We had a really good time.

Looking good guys! Hope you have an amazing time here and can try out a bit of cold weather for future trips further up north. Even though in December and January you can enjoy -25 nights here too. :) This is by far a record year for number of days with snow cover so enjoy it! And I'll see...

Guys I've managed to get a really bad case of influenza. I hope I'll be better by the end of next week, but right now I feel like I'm slowly dying. :D Daily fever highs of 40C is not fun.

The roads will definitely be open. That's a nice beach over at the top left corner. We sometimes go swimming there in the summer. There's a vilalge nearby and if you can't get any further by car then it's only a 2km walk to the cape.

The winter just doesn't want to go here. The days are so warm now, puddles appear within hours in the morning and the sun is very very warm. But at night it's still so cold. I can't imagine it turning to a full on thaw in two weeks. They're saying it's because there's still ice on the sea and...

More snow guys! And they opened a new 13km ice road to one of our small islands this week. -8 to -10 in the mornings! Looks like you'll have your winter trip after all! :)

Don't worry about the mosquitoes. Late May and the whole month of June are the worst offenders. If too many people don't get eaten in June, then the beginning of July can be pretty bad too. But generally from March to June it's okay and from August to October too. In July and August the...
