Hi Chris! Turku, southwest part of Finland. We usually get summer first here! :cool: Hello Stringmaker! Oh yes, Wappu on the way! :naughty:

:hatscarf: I guess it is time to give up with ski's and change to hiking boots! :hammock:

Don't get it!!? As a long time youth worker I have been hearing all these complaints about how school sucks badly and so at last November decided to go back to school (after 14 years since last time) and check it out myself ... ... and found out that school works at least for me! :cool...

These are actually quite easy to make and can be used at swamps too during the summer time! :)

Skiing itself is not that hard, but it takes some time to get use to balance. Best way to learn is just to try it! :)

Terrible way to die for those poor things ... that smell ... oh did you ment that those squirrels will be then fully cooked at morning? DIY bushcraft squirrel stove?! ;)

Hello Lefteris, I would not recommend at all sleeping boots on, that really easily gets your feet freezed cause you need to be able to move your toes (tested). Also when moving and working during the day, keep changing your socks every few hours to dry ones (you can dry your wet socks under...

Too sunny and nice at Scandinavia, give our arctic weather back! ;)

Hi tristansmusic, I think others on this forum might be better to give you more concrete suggestions which one and where you should buy in UK, but wanted to wrote few things for you to think about. When picking up sleeping back you should also think how you will use it. For example, what you...

Hi James, Not sure if you got your answers already, but hopefully I can give some tips atleast: 1. At (arctic) cold it takes quite a long time to cook anything with alcohol stoves. If picking up gas stove make sure that you get 4 season gas bottle. Best is petrol stove (unfortunately...

Yep, taste is kinda 'smoked' if you just melt water from snow at fire ... but hey you can be that 1% who likes it? :D There is also other reason why salt, pine or spruce needles or birch branches were added by Saami people to snow while melting it on fire and it is related to dehydration...
