Wah, it was a real slog in the end of my trip yesterday: the wind was at least 15 m/s and I was already tired. Had to go see this river from the other side following logging roads and skiing in deep snow! #NorthKarelia #Skiing #River 🌊
(Today I’m chilling out in Joensuu) 🏢
I don’t know if there are many cities in the world like #Joensuu where one can go ice fishing, wander in an old-growth forest and read the fishing magazines in a library before picking up a fine Norwegian Fjellpulken for a cheap rental. #NorthKarelia 🤠
I was guiding my buddy who’s in the Border Guard school today around Heposelkä Lake. -11°C and 11 m/s wind but nice in the sunny old-growth forest! #NorthKarelia #Skiing🤠
Today, an action of solidarity with #Ukraine was held in #Joensuu on the anniversary of the full scale russian invasion beginning.

I think I'm going to head out to this Kota hut first because it's close to the road and I'll get the Fjellpulken pretty late in the evening, at 6 pm on Monday.
-4°C shouldn't be too cold for my winter sleeping bag even though the Kota isn't like a hut with a stove.

My face hurts a bit but the snow is perfect and the sun warms the air up already. -24.7°C in the morning when I went in the forest. #Skiing #NorthKarelia #Winter 🥶🤠
Brr,-22.3°C this morning. It will be a beautiful clear day! #Winter #NorthKarelia ❄️🥶
Just a quiet ski on the town lake today. Fluffy powder snow feels amazing to slide on! #PowderSnow #Skiing #NorthKarelia ❄️☺️

It can be a bit crispy below -20°C especially if there is wind, but the sun hopefully already warms it up a little. #Winter #NorthKarelia 🤠
I had to do a bit of research before I moved to Liperi in North Karelia, e.g. we’re surrounded by five National Parks.
”The North Karelia Biosphere Reserve is a functional platform for local citizens, actors and entrepreneurs that promotes sustainable development in the region by supporting activities that maintain and strengthen people's relationship with nature, biodiversity conservation, and the development of responsible livelihoods.”

I spent time today in Outokumpu on these small ponds and lakes that have stocked trout and other fish in them.
A decent place to practice ice #fishing and winter camping for bigger northern expeditions later on. #Outdoors #Winter #NorthKarelia 🎣
