October 2023 in the Pulju Wilderness Area, Finland. On the day of departure I was surprised by the first snow and had to haphazardly pack gear that would let me survive freezing temperatures. I did not bring skis, as I was unsure how much snow there would actually be. Needless to say, my rucksack weighed a ton on that trip. After injuring my knee in a slip and with the conditions turning bad, I had to cut my planned three week hike down to just one. Still, a nice hike 🤣

Breakfast in the making inside my new Durston tent while hiking in September. The tent is so roomy that it feels safe to cook inside, with no need to worry about carbon monoxide or anything catching fire. If needed, I could stay holed up in this tent during a raging storm and still cook safely, unlike in my old Hilleberg Akto.

Cooking some dinner by the fire in the Muotkatunturi Wilderness Area, Finland.

Valley somewhere in the Muotkatunturi Wilderness Area, Finland, during my September 2025 hike. The last time I was here was more than ten years ago in late winter or early spring. I had always wanted to see this place during the unfrozen season, and in 2025 I finally got the chance. Crazy nice even without snow.

Misty fjells close to the border of Finland and Norway. I camped here for the night in pretty high winds.

First you think you are having a coffee and enjoying a nice view, next moment the first snow is blowing straight into your face. Welcome to Finnish Lapland in September. Luckily it did not snow enough to affect walking.

The slopes of Dierpmersvárri (Termisvaara) ascend into Dierpmesjávri (Termisjärvi) in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area. From my hike in September 2025.

Unpacking my camp in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. The tent is a Durston X-Mid 1 Solid UL, which I really fell in love with. It handles wind well, has no condensation issues, and feels surprisingly roomy. My only real complaint is that it can be a bit tricky to set up.
