Part two coming on Monday 😊
Luke is so nice and fun.
How meny parts are u going to bo
there is a youtuber living in sodankylä who also moved to finland and makes videos about it. The channel´s name is GIO BOZZ. Wanted to tell you in case you want to ask him for a collab or something.
@@joonasnaski9513 i know about him.
I'd guess the bird at 7:35 was kuukkeli, one of the most curious birds you can find out there.
7:35 Kuukkeli is generally considered the forester's "friend". It is known for the fact that it appears quite quickly at campfires to beg for food scraps. The common belief is that the Kuukkeli is a lucky bird and the hunting luck of a person who kills it will disappear forever. In Finnish ancient belief, the hawk was also called the "bird of the soul" and it was believed that the forester's spirit moves to the hawk when he dies.
You can drink from basically every stream, river and lake in northern finland, just fyi. Are you going to make Juhannus vlog this year?
That's true
Also it's the best water you can get by a long shot!
Just two Finnish guys having fun!
Oy, cityboys! A trip that far north is better if you, you know... PLAN.
This looks like a fun trip! I see you didn't do the famous mistake and go there after Juhannus. Man, I still have trauma for spending a week in Enontekiö for a confirmation camp just a couple of days after Juhannus almost 20 years ago. Jesus the amount of bugs in there.. Yikes. Not just mosquitos but blackflies too.. At evenings when looking outside of the windows you'd just see what looked like a grainy tv screen of probably billions of blackfiles. It was crazy.
But... Juhannus is tomorrow😅 So they cant have been there after Juhannus!
Like someone said, "You can drink from basically every stream, river and lake". But if you're worried you can filter the water running it thru the coal from the wood your burning. And if that's not enough, you had that pan to boil it even before that. 🤷♂
That was cool, thanks Dave. Moving on to part 2.
Nooo, can't end it like that! When can we expect part 2?
Monday! 😊
There would have been two cozy huts nearby the place where you fished. Its called ”Autiotupa” and you can sleep and camp in the cottage/hut
"See the magical picturesque wilderness landscapes. Will Dave ever want to return to civilization? And where is Luke? Did Dave eat him? All is revealed in the Adventure to Kilpisjärvi part 2. Do not miss it."
No need to boil running water (streams, rivers) or spring water, if you happen to find it. Lakes are usually fine as well up north, but wouldn't be as certain. The bird was a kuukkeli. You can get them close to you with food. Sometimes they'll even land on your hand.
In english siberian jay, for some reason
Siberian jays looking to get scraps from hunters and campers are such a common sight that old tymey finns thought siberian jays were the souls of deceased huntsmen :)
@@vili13 That's indeed strange, considering Siberia is far away, on the other side of the Ural Mountains.
It's nice to see you both in the same video again because I've followed you both for years. I'm waiting for the next episode!
Mine are coming soon as well. I’ve just been a bit lazy about getting them done 😅
Ooh I loved kilpisjaarvi !! If there were a big-ish city there, or nearby ,I’d live there for sure
I went to kittilä to my cabin cause we bought two if them and we arrived yesterday and im going to kilpisjärvi aswell I always go there.
3:21 "Oh, I just saw some mosquitoes! I forgot about those buggers" ohhhh past dave, soon you will learn. soon you will learn...
Just driving past Kilpisjärvi today! I love Saana.
Nice trip but always plan ahead, can be dangerous not to do so. There are so few mosquitos because it was a pretty damn cold springtime. The snow has melted like only few weeks ago you know. The views are fantastic.
Halti next!!
We made the same hike journey to Saana with my schoolclass full of 7th graders and all managed to climb up. I’m proud of you Dave! 😂
Kilpisjärvi! The most beatiful spot in Finland imo 😊
You can basically camp anywhere in finland as far as it's not in someones front yard. Just remember to pick up your trash and not to light a fire.
That doesn't apply to national parks, where you are only allowed to camp at designated locations. I'm super happy they were aware of that. :)
I know that "cars bottom hitting the ground" face all too well.. :S allways the same feeling
nice video
I am convinced that I need to be invited to camp with you next time. I only live like, 6000 miles away.
Just drink the water while in Lapland. Every stream, river and remote lake has as clean water as it gets. Less bacteria than in tap water in the Helsinki region.
Kilpisjärven mahtava Saana🎶
Nordic summer at the best.
what happend to the my summer car videos?
Why in the summer
Oi mate! You got your fishing loicence?
Oh yikes.. i just know that there will be alot mosquitos xD
Good luck with not getting eaten by a bear or a wolf. Or a Fin MOOSE
😀
In Finland we have these "everymans rights" / jokamiehenoikeudet or actually they just been changed to gender neutral "everyones rights" / joikaisenoikeudet. So you are allowed to camp even in private properties as long as you are not close to cabins or homes (like ~100m or so). Private owners are actually forced to allow that so they are not allowed to put any signs to forbid that or so...
This also applies for picking berries and mushrooms and so on. There is few exeptions like you are not allowed to pick anything from trees for example or pick up moss. Basically you can camp and gather as long as it doesn't leave any permanent changes.
Were there problems attaching the mic, for example, to the sun visor of the car or to seat belt when it had to be held in the hand?
@davecad I think you should honor your wife's swedish heritage and eat suurströmming with your friend! Tsemppiä!
It's cold here 8-9 months of the year and then you guys go to Lapland the few days of the year it's tolerable in Southern Finland??? Blink twice if you need help!
😅
sorry hard to comment with quite a disturbance ? in my computer.
So frustrating wathcing you say "not sure if allowed to camp here" when you can really camp about everywhere :D
Only thing is that if you are in national park you cant just camp everywhere. Not sure where they where though.
I thought you can camp anywhere in Finland thanks to "Everyman's Right"?
Camping and making fire is only allowed in certain areas in preserved national parks.
There are exceptions. You can't do that in military areas of course, not too close to people's homes, and not everywhere in national parks.
those rocks are horrible, try to put your front tire on them first, maybe rear tire will follow :D never know :D
When hiking in nature, you must make sure to boil all the water. This can really slow you down if you come to a lake. 💧 💦😝
In northern finland you can drink form streams and rivers. I have hiked there over 10 times and not been sick once
Hello..do you like Finland..my country 👍😄🍃🌺🌅. I hope..mosgitos its terrible, 🤣〰️〰️🌅Good Holiday you. 👋
Did You just go thru Finnish military service - on KZhead ?
Everyman's rights give you the right to camp anywhere in nature.
that is not true. National parks has their own rules and in Ylläs-Pallas national park you can't camp where ever you want.
@@annnika96 that is true also. What makes u think people can´t read?
hey dave! here is one "life hack" or free tip for you if you are going to travel a lot in finland... not sure how much there is water sources in lapland, should be some but at least in central finland there is a lot and anyone can go and fill your water bottles/tanks for free from the water sources, so instead of buying water from store, if you dont need anything else than water, i recommend to find water source, there is one right next to one of the busiest roads in 9-tie/highway 9 (2 lanes only tho...) at Hankasalmi. so it is good place to stop to refill your water bottles :) funfact: i have drank many times water literally from "ditch" or small pond and never got sick :)
