Rolling fog on top of Hammastunturi in Finland. A very surreal feeling to watch a wall of mist move right beside you without ever actually reaching you.

Rautujärvi in the Hammastunturi Wilderness Area, Finland, in October 2020, just about to be hit by the first snow. Luckily it was only a thin layer and arrived on our second to last day.

Hammasjärvi seen from the slopes of Hammastunturi, the namesake fjell of this wilderness area in Finland. We did a two week hike here in October 2020. I did not really expect much from this trip, as I am not usually that into forest landscapes, but to our surprise this turned out to be a really nice and very calming hike. Maybe the misty forest had its own kind of charm.

I chose the wrong path and slipped on a rock, ending up with an open wound that bled surprisingly badly for how small the cut was. The force of the fall was enough that I could have broken my leg, as it got wedged between me and two other rocks. The cut even got infected afterwards and required antibiotics to heal, as it was still open after a month and swollen.

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.
