The most demanding ski tour I’ve ever done was in April 2019 at Paistunturi Wilderness Area, Finland. Everything started well, but the weather took a quick turn, with temperatures rising well above freezing, causing the snow to melt rapidly. Our initial plan was to hike through the area and end up in Utsjoki, a small village just 100 km north of our starting location. However, we had to turn back midway through the tour as it seemed we would not have enough snow to ski on. We rushed back to our starting location in a frenzy, wading through melting snow and icy streams of water. It was the toughest hike, but at the same time, one of the best!

I hate when my pulkas fall over, especially when I’m hiking alone. I have to take off my backpack, unstrap my harness, remove my camera (which I usually carry ready to use), and ski to the pulkas to turn them over. It takes time, is annoying, and can be frustrating. Luckily, this time it happened on level ground, but it has occurred on slopes, making it not only more annoying but also potentially dangerous, with a risk of losing gear.

@MarvinTheMartian

Very interesting conversation

I'd like to ask to @anderspuck : what type of organization are European countries establishing to parallel NATO?

I think this effort should be lead by the Nordic and Baltic countries (since they are the most interested), but it seems to me they are just waiting for the big three (UK, France, Germany) to take the lead

Don't you think that the North/Eastern countries should start someting between them?

🌕 Us Between Two Realms 🌑

Like in all #Nordic cultures, swamps used to be sacred places - places where underworld connected to the land of living. They where places where you would show respect, bring offerings and maybe even mourn the loss of loved ones.

While I was working on this, I kept thinking how fragile the line is that separates these two worlds - and us. One day we are here, standing on a piece of land, never knowing when we cross to the other side.
