Three-day hiking trip on Ilvesreitti, Finland, with my dog!
Ilvesreitti (Lynx trail) is a 250 km long trail network in southern Finland. This time I'm exploring new parts of it with my dog, Rokka the Alaskan malamute. We have three days to hike and camp as we wish. The early May weather seems deceptively sunny, the trails are quiet, and we camp alone.

Not what you think: Finetrack ELEMENTAL Layer review (+ L2 base layer)

Just when I thought I knew everything about base layers, a Japanese company Finetrack contacted me and asked to test and review their Elemental layer. In this video, I'll provide insights into the design, functionality, and practicality of this layering system, and most importantly, my honest initial impressions. I've done day hikes, fatbiking, and other outdoor activities with these two shirts...

Challenging terrain, heavy rain and strong winds force us to take shelter. I setup my Seek Outside floorless tipi tent right by the lakeshore, using natural rockface as a wind block. We didn't make it to where I was planning, but the views are so magnificent in Norway that I can't really complain!

Review: custom MOLLE pouches from Baribal - cheap, yet great for backpacking

Fully customizable MOLLE/PALS pouches I ordered from Baribal, a Polish company specializing in custom tactical gear.

Nice review
Thanks
If you got bears I would say at least have bear spray!! Whistle!
Yeah we got bears, but not like in Alaska/Canada where they can just wander into your camp. I do carry a loud safety whistle, but I must've got it after making this video.
Im happy to see you bring up this point! Got my first pair of liners gloves last winter. Since then i carry about 3-4 pairs of gloves during wintertime. Very similar system to urs. The only part im missing is a thinner windprrof shell glove. Thanks for a good video!
Also if your hands get sweaty during strenuous activity like moving in deep snow, it's easier to dry just the liner gloves.
Thank you for your time, effort and insight.
No problem 👍
Looks right to me. The Eberlestock is a bit thinner, not as wide and not as tall.
It states on the box you should seam seal the luxe tents
Intro way too long winded! So naggy
If 50 seconds is too much, then simply use the timestamps / chapters to skip forward to the part you want to see.
awesome vid, definitely next on my list of lights to buy. My area has pretty bad infrastructure so any time there's a storm it knocks the power out most of the time, and the power company sometimes says they don't know whenever it'll be back on
Just remember to store it somewhere where it gets plenty of sunlight 👍
How were the bugs there? I camped over at Kekäjärvi last night and was getting eaten alive!!!!
This was early May, nights still too cold and days too windy for mosquitos. I don't doubt the situation has changed by now!
@@TaivalOutdoors Ok! Thank you for responding, I may visit this place next year then, looks amazing!
What a beautiful place to explore. Thanks for bringing us along. Nate
No problem, thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. Nice to see you still wearing your 5.11 concamo jacket. You must have fixed the zip? I liked it so much I went looking for one but it doesn't seem to made any longer. Pencott green zone seems similar though..
It's by UF PRO, but yeah I contacted them and they sent me a replacement zipper for free. Got it professionally fixed. The camo pattern has faded in the sun quite a lot, but still my favorite jacket 👍
@@TaivalOutdoors Good customer service, and now you have a rarity. 😀
@@DrGreysides True and true! 😁
Great video as always! I’m an American who loves backpacking and always looking for good advice. Any recommendations for a good all weather boot?
That's a tough question! There are so many variables to consider. Personally I have always liked Meindl's boots, the quality is superb and I've found them to be wider as well.
Great video you have inspired me to go here thanks
Nice to hear
What brand is the dog Harness you are using from? Locking for one with small bags for my Aussie for upcoming hikes. I’m still not sure how much weight he should carry 😂
This one is froma brand called Säker, I joined their Kickstarter campaign and got it for a good price. I believe they've discontinued this model and are now offering something else. Before this, I used Ruffwear Approach backpack, but unfortunately that didn't have removable pouches and was not waterproof like these are. The downside of this Säker harness is its smaller capacity.
@@TaivalOutdoors awesome! Thanks for the answer. I think a small capacity is fine. I have to figure out how much my dog can ore should carry anyway ;) 10 month old, 21 kg, so still some weight to put on.
@@user-us7ht7sm2c Yeah just remember to start light, especially since the dog is still growing. I was instructed to wait until the dog was two years old before packing heavy, as malamutes grow so slow! Recommendations are of course different for different breeds. Whatever backpack you end up picking, I'd recommend getting a system where you can also detatch the bags. Better to hang around the camp without the additional weight.
@@TaivalOutdoors Australian Shepherds from what I have read grow to the maximum height really fast. He was already 58-59 cm at about 8 months. But until the bones, ligaments and muscles are fully developed can take up to 3 Years -.- so im going to take it slow. The Säker gear looks awesome ;)
16:19 To say that Finns 🇫🇮 love their coffee ☕️ is an understatement. 😂
True 😁
Oliko Onkimaanjärven laavulla puita?
Ei tullut tarkistettua valitettavasti. Onko siellä ollu polttopuut vähissä? Onhan se aika lähellä parkkipaikkaa.
The land of a thousand lakes and a BILLION Mosquitos is how I call summertime Finland. Obviously they were still sleeping during your hike. The dog looks huge with all of his winter undercoat. Is the Poncho a military one?
Yeah the nights were still cold enough that mosquitos weren't a problem. That's also the reason why I don't do much camping during summer 😅 Poncho is from 2GoSystems, not a military model.
Absolutely gorgeous episode man, shots are spectacular! Absolutely stunning 👏👏
You're too kind, thanks!
Hieno homma että kunnostetaan 👌pitääpä itsekkin käydä kun kerkiää
Ehdottomasti!
Love your videos as usual. Always Nice to see you and your dog in the wilderness. Cheers from a fan in Canada!
Cheers to you too, always amazes me how these simple videos reach folks across the pond.
@@TaivalOutdoors a lot of the outdoors content on the platform is north american eastern woodlands, coming from coastal Canada it's nice to see evergreen forest/rocky/wet/mossy terrain that really isn't easy to deal with. Very relatable content 👍
@@thebeardprevails5246 Hah thanks, there's plenty of that over here! 😁
Love your vids. Thanks for taking us along.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it.
Cool dog
Thanks 😁
Hienolta näyttää. Upea eläin tuo sinun koirasi.
Kiitos, malamuutit ovat komeita koiria.
Nice video! I really like the red pull tabs, any idea where I can buy it from?
Thanks! I purchased mine from here: www.emtshop.be/en/medic-zipper-pulls.html
Great long term review! You've had better luck with yours. My charge indicator only lights one dot even after sitting in full sun.
Sorry to hear that! I've found the plastic itself to be quite fragile (maybe due to UV exposure) but the electronics still work.
I just want to say your reviews on the chest packs are really refreshing. With a focus on things OTHER than ccw, lol. Canadian here, we don’t need that!
I'm glad there's at least one person who doesn't want to hear about ccw capabilities 😁👍
Very thorough with clear camera angles too!
Thank you kindly!
Hi, A/T 8 are in 2 versions, waterproof and non waterproof. You have non waterproof version because your boots have 'drainage vents'. I bought this boots and check it. Left boot was broken because water enter inside. Right boot was good. It resistance many water and was dry inside. So i must return boots but i hope i will get new and i would try it on trip.
Good , useful info. Thanks.
You're welcome
Absolutely amazing nice sound. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.
Kilimanjaro is on my bucket list for sure.
@@TaivalOutdoors ohh nice Keep the peak I mentioned to you in future feel himalayan sound. 😋 Thank you very much for replying to the comment. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower.
Hi. Liked this little hike. I am curious what time of year was this done? Thinking of starting in very north of Finnish E10 and hiking south as far as I can over 80-90 days. Would beginning of May or so be appropriate to start? From what you are saying there are not always trails, but there does seem to be a large network of logging roads throughout country. Not lots of information on (complete) trail and assuming good maps would get you there? Suggestions?
I believe this was the first week of May. I'd start a hike like that as soon as most of the snow is cleared from the trails, or what's probably even better is to start sometime during fall so you end the hike in October.
Thanks for the video. Your dog is beautiful
Thanks!
How do these compare to Bryjne n Acklima mesh tops?
Welcome back to Taival Outdoors…. My name is Yoel. Love the way you give your intro. Spot on.
Very interesting layering system. Unfortunately, the sizes are no good for me
Great night out. Tarps are the best but also can be breezy. Was that just a piece of webbing with a carabiner that attached Rokka to the tree? Nate
Yeah I have a heavy duty carabiner that I use to tie him to my rucksack waistbelt or to trees in camp.
I'm seeing more mesh/fishnet wicking base layers coming out and the idea behind it makes sense. Ill have to check those ones out since the others I've heard good stuff about are over $150 for just a shirt. ...well, never mind. Should've known being Japanese sizing would mean they'd likely not have anything to fit short barrel chested/bodybuilder American types lol. Ill keep it bookmarked and if they ever make a size big enough I'll come back here and use the link.
They're definitely making a comeback, I agree. Yeah I hope they bring out more sizes since it seems they're actively expanding to US and European markets!
How about smell if you use it several days ? Br. Mr MerinoWool ambassador 🤭
I won't comment until I do several days in a row of backpacking in the summer heat. So far no issues, but the real tests are to come.
Miten tuo "uusi" synteettinen-meshpaita eroaa siitä jos käyttäisi vaikka vain jotain korispaitaa ekana layerina? Eikö joku korispaita ole jo innovaatiokehityksen terävintä kärkeä kun suunniteltu huippu-urheilijoille? Miksi keksiä pyörä uudestaan...?
Tuossa videolla sanoinkin, että muistuttaa urheiluvaatteita. Minulla ei ole mitään käryä millaisia vaikkapa korispaidat ovat, niin en osaa sanoa onko niillä muuta yhteistä kuin reitetty kangas. Finetrack ja alkuperäinen Elemental layer näyttää olevan kehitetty jo 2004, nämä uusimmat vuonna 2020.
Beautiful Tarp camp setup ! We had the same kind of weather as you here in Canada this winter, temperature fluctuations, rain and snow...
Thank you for you work, I always find interesting info on your channel ! Cheers from Canada !
Thanks, I try to aim for quality over quantity. Always great to see Canadians here 👋
