hey all! This is part 2 of this series. Check pt1 here if you haven't seen it already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noCTpYmio95_frc thanks for watching!

Juho...have you or Sohvi considered doing like Skype language lessons? My husband and I are working to move to Suomi in the next couple years. We wish to be able to pass our YKI. We've been studying on our own 18 mos and while he is at an A1.2, I am hitting A2.2. Problem is we have NO native speakers around us! The friends we've made in Oulu prefer to speak in English! WE NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO!😄❤️ It could be on your time, flexible schedule, even just once a month! Please consider it for a side hustle!

[@Oasi692]

Hi i like your video. Alaska is my favorite country to visit someday. Greetings from tropical country here

[@Anmeteor9663]

Great skiing Juho. Sohvi will be so disappointed she missed out on such perfect snow and conditions. Shimp Kitchen is fun too. Your dead pan delivery is priceless. Suits my British sense of humour very well. Stay safe with all those big predators about.

[@NewSkiwi]

Dead pan....lol

[@jeffdayman8183]

The bear wakes up and says "Hmm...I could swear I smell shrimp spread and rockfish fillets.... nah! can't be shrimp spread, no dill. " 8^) What a beautiful spot. Glad you had a good ski. I really liked the video. Hope Sohvi's doing great in Finland. Cheers!

[@RobertMatichak]

Fabulous! I know it’s not your goal, but you put all the other sailing channels to shame! Good work! Peace.

[@allgonquin]

Watching this vid and the other vids where you go skiing, I simply can not believe that you and Sohvi and your guest have the energy to trek seemingly miles uphill to super remote peaks way off in the distance, on skis no less, and then ski down! It's an incredible accomplishment just to get to the top and so far from Lumi. You all must be in really, really good physical condition!

[@kristietoothfairy]

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! What amazing footage! The beauty that you captured almost doesn’t look real. You are a very brave Nordic warrior for sure! I really enjoy your story telling and your humor mixed in makes me laugh. Thank you for another outstanding video!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Your bravery is commendable. Free refills 👍 Trekking through the snow to the top of the mountain and filming while ⛷️ was superb. The drone footage displays the sheer magnitude of the magnificent location. 👌 Thanks for sharing. ❤

How does he manage the drone shots singlehanded? Amazing photos. Obviously I have never operated a drone. Great video. Thanks.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

@@billkurek5576 I didn't notice the drone shots in this episode but I think uses something similar to the Insta360 cam; it was pretty effective at giving the aerial view but maybe a smidge tight.

[@benduckx9367]

Juho...you are even getting better, vid by vid, on scenery and off-the-boat experiences. Keep up the great work and scenery shots. Remember: very few vids have the ability to view what you provide!

[@kathybaker1478]

Hi! I'm from Canada and you probably sailed past our island on your way...I just wanted to let you know a little tip for catching more shrimp. We call them " spot prawns", btw.. We found success by changing our pot. The best ones can be bought through a company called, " Harbour Chandler". The pot that you want is called the" Bauer". We went from catching a few per pull, to probably 50 or more per pull. We just use the pellets, in about 300 to 500 feet of water. We love your videos! Happy fishing! Kathy and John

[@aaronr.9644]

6:57 it reminds me of that scene in Forrest Gump when Bubba talks about all the dishes one can cook with shrimp :D

[@sharondavis8003]

I've commented on this before but, congratulations, your photography is exceedingly good. I doubt anyone has captured the beauty of these majestic waters so well. Compulsive viewing !

[@jj3972]

Been following you for a long time and the content keeps improving…keep it up. Love the non dramatic true adventure. I’m on the west coast of BC Canada and have thought about sailing in to some of the fiords during the winter and strapping the boards on. You’ve inspired me to make that a reality. Btw, that’s not a poor man’s anchor wash….it’s a smart man’s!

[@joncozzi1701]

This is a remarkable channel! If I wasn’t a financial train wreck I would for sure be sending funds your way. Hopefully in the coming months I will be able to do so. Thank you so much !

[@mehmetkaraman5878]

What a brave man you are! You leave the boat and you also leave the service boat on the shore and climb up for skiing. You are the best sailing channel.

[@MacThreinfhir]

The scenery is amazing. Excellent video… skiing and sailing… doesn’t get much better than that!

[@vickyoakes4584]

Absolutely beautiful filming of this breathtaking scenery. Thank you!

Waking up to waves against the side of the boat is peace of mind.

Greetings from Scotland - I regret to admit that I only discovered your channel tonight - having binge watched it’s now 3am and I don’t regret a thing. I think this video in particular was one of your best. Brilliant work and keep it going

[@nesleinf]

I am very impressed by your filming teknics! Sailing the dinky we get shots from a selfiestick, from drone, from cameras onboard - and all cut skillfully together to a seeworthy result. Must take a great deal of multitasking talent to do all the things you do - and then get it on film too. Good work!!! Love from Denmark

[@sailinglatis]

I’m sailing and had enough data to watch one video. I was very happy it was this one. Thank you for your video. It was a very nice treat. 🇨🇦

[@Rejoicing]

We really enjoy your videos. The cinematography is beautiful. The shrimp cooking segments are fun. You have a great sense of humor.

[@hillfarm7044]

OMG moment- I thought when you were calling Karhu, you were cheering on your brand of skis🤣I just googled the meaning. All these years I never knew what it meant. I hope the bears in Alaska understand Finnish. Beautiful skiing, I was slightly stressed about the bears though. the rock is pronounced pronounced "gran-it "

You literally have first tracks on that perfect corn👍 Who wouldn't like those conditions for some good turns! It's perfect!

[@invention-city]

Love your sense of humor. And your editing is truly A+ (or 10+ on a scale of 1 to 10). Very much appreciate the tight shots of details like dripping ice, mixed with wide views from the drone. The edit you did with the dinghy was wonderful!

[@davidc6510]

Classic Alluring Arctic drone shots and skiing. Another great episode Juho. Thanks for sharing.

[@fbswampfox]

The camera man always survives! 😂😊 I loved your skiing technique to turn around!!

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

This channel is great. I find high latitude sailing and scenery to be far more appealing than anything in the tropics. Im in New England and currently dont own a deep water boat but if i ever do, sailing up the east coast and through the northwest passage to Alaska would be an amazing voyage.

[@karaDee2363]

You're amazing Juho and very brave to be venturing into the mountains alone with all the bear around... Thank you for filming and sharing with us all the beautiful scenery and wildlife your seeing there... It's all so spectacular.

[@larswetterstrom7209]

Yes but Joho talks loud when he goes into the bear country. I did the same in the northern forest in Sweden. Full with brown bears.

[@brettwitzel]

Glad the kushtaka haven’t lured you away. Also, bears tend to be hungry when they come out of hibernation. Muskeg is like a cold swamp. As opposed to tundra, which is like a spongy plant. Granite should rhyme with planet

This is exactly the life I love and I have enjoyed on a sail boat : alone, anchorages, fishing, and kayaking for me.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

I have never got why more You Tube sailors don’t catch shrimp. When I get my boat I plan to use three different methods to catch them. Loved you cooking one on its own in last episode. We have a similar dish in England but we mix the shrimp with butter! And it is: ‘gran-it’

Absolutely stunning scenery!! When you pull up the net stop mucking about, as soon as you touch the rope pull it up as fast as you can. Try for some halibut fishing too, yum. They get them so big up there that single fishermen shoot them so they don't get knocked off the boat!

[@JT-py9lv]

Foraging for sea vegetation in Alaska can supplement your diet also. Things like bull kelp, giant kelp, alaria, eel grass, purple laver, and sea lettuce. They can be used to make broths, salads etc. Do be very carfull with mollusks. Spruce tips make a very nice tea.

Pokers work great to get the mud off and push the anchor around in the water. Also works great to keep the anchor from banging as it comes up over. Cheers from the San Juan Islands!

Shrimp start getting out as the bait concentration depletes so I would check your pots morning and evening, preferably mid-tide! Starfish indicate you're fishing too shallow too!

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, So you were making "Skagenröra" I think but what it is in Finland I have no Idea. It's very yummy. To garnish a traditional Skagenröra sandwich you would of course have the dill as you said, and a bit of roe, like salmon roe would be great, or some whitefish roe. Oh, and a thin slice of lemon too. For the non Scandinavians out there, it's an open face sandwich, just a piece of toast or butter fried toast just like he eats it. The shrimp mayo mix sandwich with the garnish, a "sup" of something very alcoholic and a beer chaser. That is a feast for most Scandies. Yours, Ann

[@jonnenne]

It is quite often called skagen here or just katkarapumössö (shrimp mush). We also eat gubbröra here like you guys do. We don't eat surströmming though it originally was sold to Finns by Swedes who thought these people are crazy for buying this shit. Who's laughing now... :)

[@annlidslot8212]

@@jonnenne Hi, Thank you for your reply. Most of us don't eat that shit either. His shrimp looked so good though. I was salivating. I'm from Northern part of Sweden, where the Swedish origin of Surströmming comes from, but I probably couldn't swallow a piece to save my life... Or rather, I would only eat it to save my life. I believe that Gubbröra has been relegated to Julbord for Christmas and some ancient style smörgåsbord (ancient as in: like when I was a young). Personally I think especially Surströmming, and probably to some extent Gubbröra, was invented to give people an excuse to drink snaps. At least snaps seem be a recurring theme of eating these foods today. And I'm using the word "food" in the loosest sense of the word, at least when it comes to Surströmming. My sincere apologies for exporting the product from Sweden. I'm pretty sure it wasn't planed as biological warfare against Finland. Unless it was between 1808-1917 and you Finns weren't the target, of course 😉😊. Yours, Ann

4:29 almost sounded like Granny bay, maybe that's where they go after visiting the Golden Corale 😅 5:45 I think we call that a "Skagenröra" here in Sweden, not sure what they call it in Denmark or Norway.
