Best part of winter camping, no bugs. Worst part, getting out of warm sleeping bag. Great video POP.

Your sense of humor is much appreciated.

Sarcasm and snow! Best combination!

"The Great Chairman is dead! Start weeping!" haha Great vid Pops. Blizzard camping looks like a worthy challenge.

I love these tents. We own two and I’m considering buying more for when they eventually wear out. I live in Wyoming where the winds reach 30-50mph pretty much everyday and have camped in this tent with winds gusting to 65mph. It has held up superbly! The only place I wouldn’t camp in this tent is a place experiencing a monsoon as the upper vents tend to allow a minor amount of spray in.

Your dry humour is not lost on this brit .

love your vids pops,im an ex british paratrooper ,your straight forward talking and dry humor is spot on ,and taking the piss out of this soft, modern generation is right up my street . keep the excellent vids coming

I'm really getting into your brand of humour - As dry as my January Martinis. Cheers

Brilliant mate, love the banter as always, your comment about Tampere and high heals killed as its so bloody true, thank God for Finnish nightclub coat check for 2.5 euros. lol. Awesome. Kiitos. Moose.

You''re only ever a breath away from a job in telemarketing :)) Made me subscribe

Hello from America! Winter camping is my favorite. No bugs and no sweat.

Grandmother just called. She wants her shopping bag returned. ⚠

Ekstra: I was in the army in the cold war era too. Mobile infantry - cannon food, as we called it. Most exercising "fight & retreat" against the Warsaw Pact. I remember, at a special survival maneuver we slept outside on the ground - only w an extra cotton parka-coat and 2 thin wool blankets. It was down to -20 C that winter. I don't have to tell it was C-O-L-D and we froze our asses off :) Furthermore, we had to undress and go shower in a barn after a simulated gas-attack. Well - it was fun and another time, we were not pussies and we didn't complain. Today I guess everybody would need assistance from a psychologist after such an experience... I heard, that todays recruits starts the career with a progress of getting used to boots :D

We are from the same tribe. Thumbs up!

Someone testing a tent in Finland during the winter really means something. Good skills brother.

Fantastically amusing as ever, you always put a realistic and humorous spin into your narrative, really get cheered up with your films, thank you so much. Harry

Love the video, your sense of humor and the camping ⛺️ Keep uploading more trips. Thanks for sharing.

As an Australian with my father being born in Finland(he came to Australia in 69 with a family of 9) I understand this humour 100% and this how my humour is haha,it’s hard for fellow freinds to get my humour as i say to them Its a finnish thing you wouldn’t get it😂

We love your truth full humor the world is lacking in humor today . Next time you see granny say hi to her from California . Happy Trails

Fantastic video as always. Definetly my favourite YT channel. Can't wait for the next one!

Watched the Entire video, I find it extremely interesting to see how different types of equipment copes in the extreme conditions

As always I appreciate your sardonic and laconic use of words and your style of of no jazz but plenty of rhythm. Brilliant !

Thank you > From Thailand 🙏

That is a nice tent and it helped keep you safe during the snow storm and is perfect for Winter weather. I would like to have one that size if it can be put up easily and keep you that warm. The MRE's are nice compared to the older C rations which was terrible to me.

Amazing you camped in those freezing cold conditions! Fascinating to see your French Army F2 nylon tent ⛺ took that battering from the elements 👍

You are a brave man eating a US MRE (Meals recycled excrement). We use the F2 tent and have found it both cheap and reliable. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, stay safe. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law, Stella and Terri with Robyn.

👍 still loving the humour 😁👏

A Classic from start to finish.

It's always nice to find a new content creator. I plan on watching more of your videos and feeling the camping vibe with you.

Great video thank you. Had to chuckle at the French military tent however. Don’t be surprised if you wake up and the tent is gone, may have surrendered. Easy I’m 1/2 French I can take shots like this!

Pop , thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Great to visit with you again. I laughed out loud about lining up for noodles .

Great videos Helsinkipop, I'd seen all of them :) No fancy smart expensive gear, no smart-ass expression - just the real thing served with humour from someone actually worth listening to. Your history lessons are very interesting. Keep up posting :) Greetings from Denmark - unfortunately again this year we don't have any winter here :/

Been looking forward to watching this vid' and with that sense of humour of yours I wasn't disappointed, bring on the party girls LOL 👍

Pops im late for this show, your in the f1 in the snow, for a night, yes, your out of your crust for sure man, and thats what it takes, i spent 23 years in the infantry, the cold camping is always interesting, when the snow stops and the sky is clear and full of stars the air is full of energy ,the quiet in the pines. Im 61 now and still go. Movement is life. let the young eat their gigabites with chopsticks there missing out.

That was fun to watch, like your sense of humor. Cheers from Holland! :)

"Start weeping" bahhhhhaaaa ~Alabama viewer

I Like these videos he has a great sense of humour. He is a cool cleaver guy.

Great vid!, like to see more of Finland and the people and culture. My mother spoke seven languages fluently and at the age of 80+ she wanted to speak Finnish, Why?, I asked, she replied, "Because it looks bloody hard".

Love the sense of humor. Cheers from the Front Range of the Rockies

Dear Pops Id like to thank Granny for the warm and witty way her grandson discribes his beautiful country, all best cheers Will ps Granny's know best😁

I'm so glad i found your channel again

I was just looking at the F2 French pup tent, on sale for $30.00 at an online surplus store. I really wish I would have seen this video before I didn't buy it! Held up great in the snow, quite impressive! Thanks for the video, stay safe out there!

Still searching for that French Riviera experience with the pup tent?! Best way to avoid the condensation in that tent is clearly to freeze it solid!

👍👍another great down to earth video

Evening buddy from England 😁. Camping in the woods with snow is great training. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time ATB Andy

The chairman is dead, start weeping. Funny stuff. Thanks for taking us along.

I'm revisiting this video after a bit.It's always nice to hear the knowledge passed on and the good reviews.I just got one of these and plan to take it out once the weather gets colder.I plan to ditch the poles and use a ridgeline.

So appreciate your sardonic insights on modern life. As for the Chinese, when I was teaching there 26 years ago, my university students were almost incapable of going anywhere on their own, always traveling at least in pairs and often in threes and fours. When they asked what I did for fun and I said hiking alone in the forest, they were shocked at such an undertaking. "Teacher, aren't you afraid?"

Was in hospital from kidney stone attack. I would of taken cold and snow any day. Great video. Always a learning experience even at 70. Have a great day.

Outstanding my friend, great camp! Your humor is spot on!

Enjoyed your outing. Granny just doesn't get it. As most elderly females. My 70 year old spouse doesn't participate, but tolerates my dementia. I love your wry sense of humor. Winter camping is my favorite, although the temperatures are erratic over here near Memphis, TN USA, at 35 degrees Latitude, swinging wildly from shirt-sleeve weather to zero centigrade and lower, and rarely snow. Tje summers are sultry and ridden with ticks and mosquitos. I live on the wrong end of Tennessee. The Eastern end is fantastic, cool mountains and spectacular scenery. I make the 400 mile drive as often as possible.

Hello again my friend, I don't know if you really understand how funny you actually are . My hat is off to you ,that looked like an awesome trip .cold butt your so right about things , especially about that food lol cheers and good luck ☠👍👍👍⛏💙

Meals Rejected by Everyone - funny.

You are a lunatic....lol...I love your videos. My goto tent for 15-20 years was an old pup tent that I managed to squeak use out of year after year and the old french tent always reminds me of it. That hash you ate looked pretty good indeed. I have a brother in Solliden Sweden and when I get to visit him I will threaten you with a visit...Happy camping brother.

great video really enjoyed your content

Love your vids and humour! Well cut for the ADHD twenty something like myself, too many vids on KZfaq are 1hr plus of someone chopping firewood.

Nice! Very Nice! ...my dear highwaltage kamikadz :-)! (Tampere girls - its enteresting...hhhh) Thanks for the video!

It must be a Nordic thing, but you have the same sense of humor as your compatriot Bjorn Berge. Great video, I enjoyed it.

Awesome!

Good video as always. Kiitos.

That is a big positive for The F2 tent. Might have to pick one up.

Good stuff as always you never fail to deliver quality content

First time watcher and not bad vid.Like your gear ,was thinking of getting a stove like yours.I’ll keep an eye out for more.

Actually MRE stands for 'Meals Refusing to Exit' thats when the depression and anxiety comes in....your a wild man amigo...kudos to Granny!...atb...woods

A day with a new video from Pop is a good day indeed :) just in time to coincide with snowfall here in Bergen too, might have to do something very similar!

Brilliant Humour ......... Great memories of Tampere about 45 years ago .... as hitch-hiking hippie - Thanks for bringing the memories back ....

You make my day (video wise : ).. they don't make them like you anymore... A winter overnighter & UBER... very few people would have had the balls to pull this one off on a video.👍❤️ P.s.... thank you for the *education* on Chinese workers & factories....

"Tampere party girls" 🤣🤣🤣👍

Yep looks cold 👍

Excellent as always! 😀👍👍👍👏

Nice on pop 👍

Nice to see you again in your snow kingdom. Thanks for the jokes. We have 39 degrees here tomorrow, the air con will be working overtime. Meanwhile your heater will be working overtime. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Another enjoyable vid ! I always enjoy your observations on life. If you want to try the cotton F1 version of this tent for less condensation, Military Mart in the UK has them available for £22.50 used but good condition. Not including pegs, they weigh 3.3kg. I spoke to them today before ordering mine and they have enough available for around 2 months at current sales levels.

Kiitos videosta! 5/5

Nice Brotha. I love watching your French Tent videos. I took mine out in a rainstorm and it held up well. Love seeing you have yours out in a snowstorm.👍

Mouse Fart. Awsome hahaha

Oh my, you crack me up, funny man you are! P.S. You have a great imagination with the girls in stilettos and mini skirts! haha! Thanks for sharing your night out, hope those power lines didn't do any permanent damage! lol

Great camp ! I have enjoyed watching it thanks. Last year I have slept in snow and love how quiet the night was. Next month I am away for cycle touring from the end of Scotland to Inverness and I am hoping for some snow. Not as much as in Finland as this could make cycling difficult :)

I love to hear your comments on life Pops. I look forward to your history comments and your trips.

Wunderbar video mein freund

Always good to hear from you.

Nice to see you again. Happy new year.

Rock on!

You are one tough guy Pop. Ever thought of doing stand up? Thanks for lightening my evening.

Ahhhh! The return of Helsinki-Man!!! Let me say, you look younger! It must be the abstinence and outdoor camping!! Also: thank you for the tour of your new neighborhood. It is interesting, looks like a fairly modern city, yes? You have to excuse me as Amerikaner we only get the propaganda channel, we are told that you all walk around in old heavy flannel coats and worn out shoes, and that everyone only has a can of sardines in their hobo bag for food!! I'm sure I will get flagged for some kind of discrimination; I apologize in advance!! Well, I really appreciate another great video; as I have mentioned previously, better than Annie Oakley or even Calvin and Hobbes! But you could sell the 'Helsinki-Pop decoder ring, and tweet out the code, which is actually the coordinates where your next survival episode will take place! Ausgezeichnet!!!

Need a candle in the tent.

Good to see again pop : ) I greatly enjoy your vid's! Wow, snow... Hardly can remember what the stuff looks like. Over here in the Netherlands daffodils are already in full bloom near my house. Although the frost in the upcoming nights will probably kill them of.

Awesome mate i love camping in the snow we dont have much snow in scotland yet atb stuart

Death by power point. Haha

I bet the Chinese cruise Percer only issued one square of Toilet paper to each Passenger for use during the whole trip!

Another great video Pop, thanks! Tampere without Musta Makkara? Wish that I was there. Best wishes.

Enjoy your videos. Spent many nights in Espoo when I worked for US multinational. It was beautiful in midwinter. Hotel thought I was nuts spending time outside

Save the MRE heaters for emergencies if you're not going to use them for cooking!

Thanks Pop. Until the next one.

Winter camping is a blast!!! Here tonight its -22 Celsius with just 4 cm of snow

Guess I'll just be saying what others have said, but your sense of humor pretty much totally meshes with mine. Don't be discouraged by millennial responses, they have no real life experience. They believe that just having a pulse is worthy of a trophy. (My apologies to the exceptions.)

Or MRE: Meals Refusing to Excrete

I love your videos my friend. No nonsense camping. Great history lesson too. I’m not that hardy in winter camping. I live near the the blue ridge mountains around Lynchburg Virginia USA. I am learning from you. Thanks - no liberal here :).

Ever thought of camping in Britain .Would be great to see you over here .len

Great video,Pops! Love your take on the Chinese.
