The vast open landscape bordering Reisa National Park in Norway during my September 2025 solo hike. I might return to this area, a bit farther north, in late April this year for a two week solo excursion. It really depends on how warm it gets and how much snow is still left. I do not want to end up dragging my pulka and skis across snowless ground.

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 🤣

The steep cliffs of Geaidnogáisá in Norway in August 2023. The surrounding area is one of my favorite places to hike in all of Lapland.

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.

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.

Selfmade windshield in action made from Nomex. My design turned out to be a bit complex to use, but when set up properly it did its job. A few times it ended up in the flame and did not catch fire, or it extinguished immediately after removing it from the flame. I already know how to improve the design for the next trip where I will need it. For the upcoming ski tour I will just bring my stove box, which is made from an IKEA metal storage box.

Making firewood for the stove at the open Porojärvi Wilderness Hut in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. Making firewood with a knife is easy, and I would argue safer than using an axe if you are not used to swinging one, as long as you have a knife that can take some pounding. You need a full tang blade that is thick enough to withstand the forces.
