Yes it said exactly that on the notice board in the Oulanka nature centre. I didn't get round to saying that in the video. Probably should have done. Thanks for watching mate.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft oh haha thats not so important information anyway. I just try to think something usually comment atleast something on channels i like, and thought some person might find it interesting where the trails name comes from

So glad that you enjoyed it my friend. Thank you very much for watching.

Snowed last week we had about 4 inches overnight. All gone now though. It won't be long 😂❄️☃️

Thank you Michael, it is really pretty here. God bless you too and have a great weekend.

Cheers Woods, glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Arielle, it was a great trip. Really beautiful scenery, I just wish the trail was longer. I felt like I could keep walking forever.

Thanks Andy, was a great trip. Unni was very good, so scared but kept on going. Good girl. Thanks for watching mate.

The wicked witch actually used to be one of Santa's elves (common job for young people in Lapland). A couple of winter seasons as a husky guide and look what we have turned her into 😂

Gracias amigo, tenemos paisajes muy bonitos aqui en Finlandia. Un abrazo fuerte desdel norte.

I totally agree, all nature is beautiful but fortunately we have kept a lot of ours, expecially here in the North. I think mostly because the conditions tend to keep the people away. Very sparsly populated up here. Thanks for watching my freind. Have a fantastic Christmas

Thanks for watching Scott, glad you enjoyed it. Unni is a very good girl. Fast asleep on my feet right now. Better rest while she still can. She will be pulling a dog sled again soon. We have already got a fair bit of snow. Have a fantastic weekend mate.

It really is! Finland has some fantastic scenery. I only came here for six weeks, there is a reason I am still here 13 years later😂. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

Thank you for watching mate. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Thanks mate, I know people who would have been scared of those bridges too. Unni did well, you don't see the shaky legs so much or how close she was to the ground 😂. Still kept moving forwards though. Thanks for watching mate.

Thanks Dan, I don't think it was just the height. Those wire rope bridges also move quite a lot as you walk on them. Nice to see her being cautious for once. Unni is usually far too brave and confident for her own good. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend too.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft yeah I seen that in past videos. Moving wire bridge, Unni did good.

When I see different parts of America in movies it really amazes me, sometimes it looks like Spain, sometimes like Finland. I guess that is normal for a country so huge, very wide variety of different terrain. Marika doesn't look so darn tough, but after a long day of working with the dogs in extreme cold on very little sleep you see her true colours. Usually the only one still smiling. The good old Finnish sisu is strong in that one. Sisu being fortitude, something the Finns pride themselves on. Thanks for watching mate.

My wife has a pair of those very same Darn Tough socks. Takes more than tough socks to be a dog musher that is very true. Some of our Alaska huskies were white with black markings. Mine came indirectly from the famous George Attila he said that the dogs that were white, with black marking were from a Dalmatian male dog that used to chase his truck at Cary high speeds for a dog. One day with a female sled dog in full heat, he stopped and bred her to him. Those puppies from that union were not especially fast but their progeny were.

@@RichardBarnes-nb6nz interesting stuff, I am at a sled dog simposium this week. There is a lot of talk about mixing breeds. We can tell your wife and Marika that the socks are interesting too😂. Great story about the dalmatian. A lot of our dogs are black and white. You also seem to get different looking dogs in different kennels and countries. Unni and Ulna are quite similar, both from different kennels in Norway. Norwegian dogs tend to be bred more for racing. Ulna used to be her strongest female, now it's Unni who herself is getting older and soon will be passing on that title to a younger dog. Probably a Norwegian.

Yes Steve I remember 😂. The whole system with the cabins and shelters is phenomenal expecially with firewood and axes all provided. Just wouldn't work in many countries. Too many people in the UK. People are good in small doses. Finland is good for people they behave themselves and don't talk too much. On this video you saw a malfunctioning one, Marika, she is a little chatterbox. They are not supposed to be like that😂. Thanks for watching mate.

Now autumn, very beautiful colours now. Soon to be all white. Time for you to come and keep your Maple company in Yllas. ❄️❄️☃️ Thanks for watching Anne Great to hear from you again.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft I wish 😘

It's a really nice part of the world. I also would like to spend a bit more time around Inari. Would love to spend more time exploring Finland a bit. Thanks for watching Llari

Yeah, Inari lake is awesome. Definitely should do some fishing trip there. Have spent lot of time in Muotkatunturis. Love the area. @@KuukkeliBushcraft

It was mate, just far too short. I could happily have taken that scenery in for a couple more weeks😂. Thanks for stopping by.

Hola amigo, que alegria me da ver te aqui. Veo que has visto el video en 2 ideomas ahora. Pues un poco differente pero fue una adventura que queria compartir con todos. Escucha, si ves algo en este canal que te gusaria ver en Español. Dimelo y lo hare si puedo. Un abrazote

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Hola amigo!!!! Quiero aprender finlandés así te voy a visitar jajajajajaja. Y de paso me compraría un Pukko. Me gusta mucho los lugares que recorres y lo disfruto como si estuviera alli. Un gran abrazo

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think it is more the fact that those wire rope bridges move as you walk across them. Maybe a combination of that and the height. I know a lot of people who wouldn't have cared much for those bridges either 😂. Thanks for watching Jas

The wicked one, the one from the north 😂

OK so as for CPM3V and other high end steels I have no experience as they are out of my price range. D2 I find to be a little chippy on the edge but fine for something like a folder. My favourite steels are 80CRV2 and 14c28n for durability vs ease of sharpening. Of the 2 I would choose 80CRV2 unless you want a stainless. I have also come across some Chinese steels that neither hold or take an edge. As well as the type of steel also the hardness /heat treatment is also an important factor. The 1095 in a schrade is not the same as the 1095 in an Esse. I prefer the hardness to be under 60 on the rockwell scale about 58. I am also here describing pretty much the most common knives available in Finland with my choices. There could be a couple of reasons for that 1 they are designed to be used in exactly this environment for the exact same purposes. 2 you tend to trust what you are used to using. 3 Finland has a long tradition of producing good quality knives and know what they are doing when it comes to steel choices and heat treatment. Thanks for watching mate, I hope you are keeping well.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft thank u man! means a lot to DINKA. I have a RUKIE in 14c28n. I carry this around with me all the time on my land. I have Bark river Bravo 1.5 in 3v, that was given to me as a present. It is a awesome knife and I do from time to beat the crap out of it splitting wood for fire in my jungle. It can take some serious punishment splitting up dried up oak branches. By the way, I bought 9 bottles of the SOFT SKIN Avon mosquito juice, I have tons of nasty knats in my area and have been bitten so many times! LOL! I love the spray, I am not sure how I missed it all these years. THANK U SO MUCH. Best wishes.

@@dinkaman2160pukka so the Avon skin so soft works on your pesky insects too not just our Arctic ones. I hope so, if not at least you will have beautifully soft skin with so many bottles😂. Where is your jungle by the way, I am curious. Bark River make fabulous knives, what a fantastic gift that was.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft my jungle is a unique place, it has status of open spaces and woodlands, sight out outstanding natural beauty, which was gifted to the co-operative society long ago. So far it has escaped the clutches of greedy developers.

@@dinkaman2160pukka sounds like a fantastic place.
