So it all began with and idea that I need to post new videos on my youtube channel, I won't be able to go in the mountains until summer and I need to find a new place near my city to shoot some videos . So all of my ideas went straight to a place called Turtle Lake , it is on a mountain next to the main street of the capital , about 3-4 km from it. I went to google maps and draw my map , to see what trail goes where. I chose mine , geared up , got ready and on monday morning at 6am I was there starting my trip. Few words about what I have with me , overall my pack was 15kg , I had my new Husqvarna hatchet , my new Cudeman knife , takedown bucksaw made by me , with a bahco 21inch green wood blade , US mil. su. cup and mess kit , opinel N8 carbon and some other small stuff ( I will post all pictures on the bottom )
I walked about 3 hours and I reached the top of the mountain behind the one that is next to the city , I was disapointed , so much walk and didn't even seen a nice spot so I kept going , another 2 hours passed and I reached a small water supplier building or what ever it's called
there was one guy who couldn't believe his eyes , someone in camo clothing coming out from the woods
There were 3 trails from there I asked which one was going where , I liked the one which was the most dark and stiff and walked there, after about 1 hour I was really tired , my feet hurt very much and I look on the right and what I see a pine wood forest , at that moment I was the heppiest guy in the world (Pine and spruce forests feel like home to me) it was a beautifull place with plenty of dead standing woods , so I made a fire , made a soup , ate some canned sardines in tomato sauce , had a cup of tea with chocolate , sat down for 10-20 minutes enjoyed the nature and went back home.
It took me 4 hours to go back at the point where I started , I was so tired that when I arrived home at 7 or 8 pm I can't even remember I slept on the couch , my mother woke me up at 12 , told me to go to bed , I went to bed and slept until 11am .
I woke up in the morning with bubbles on my feet , it hurts really hard , it was the leather boots falt , as I remember myself , since I was 11 I wore leather boots for hunting but such bad thing didn't ever happen to my feet. Looks like I need to find myself a new pair of hiking boots.
So that was all thank you for taking your time and reading my report , overall it caused me really big pain , I can't walk properly the whole day but it was a good trip I would go again , now I have a place to shoot vids , not very close though
Here are some pics:
