What a beautiful place, it is amazing the difference a season makes. I do love my skrama, that is one tough blade and takes a beating well. ”do you want to blow me dry?” There was no way you could let that go unsaid. LOL Lake Enonvesi sure is a beautiful place, and rich in history. I am still amazed that you two can get that giant tent packed up so well. Until next time. Skol!

Awesome fish, that was a quick catch, and awesome net work by lingonberry. I think that’s like the second time I’ve seen you catch a fish, the other one was not nearly as quick. You made your Norse brothers proud. Lingonberry fishing…So relaxing…nice camera work, nice view. 😜 I know where your mind was…. Looking forward to catching the next one.

It depends about the canton or the village... Or both. The best practice is to check out the village's homepage. Usually, if there's a camping ground or a hotel in the village, is wild camping "verboten". The usual fine is about 300 dollars
