[@AlluringArctic]

Thanks for watching and sorry for the long speech at the end! I didn't mean it negatively towards any other creators, the TLDR version is, I hope that viewers could find these videos valuable (entertaining, useful, whatever) enough to THEM that they might consider supporting solely because of that. See you all in the next one! PS. If you're wondering about the snowfall, these videos are currently around 2 months behind real time.

[@gassprint1]

I feel the same way. 80% of these channles use sex, deceit and constantly cry about something broken over and over to get money. They spend weeks out on the water only to have a 10 minute video or the put an exciting title only for the last 2 minutes to be what the title says. I started ignoring or hitting the not recommend the channel or have even reported as misleading. Those reasons are why i don't subscribe to any channels anymore. Your videos seemed to be down to earth and real, which i have only come across a few like yours. ❤

[@esgee3829]

have you considered creating storyline for a video where the climax and resolution are split into a second video posted only for patreon subscribers to drive more patrons? would that provide enough incremental value for you to justify asking viewers to join patreon for you?

[@Peteski-0]

No apologies needed. You’ve got such a positive energy,

[@777rogerf]

The adventure element of the planned passage is attractive, but not if it is unsafe.

[@Beorninki]

Mikä musiikki tuossa filmin alussa soi?

[@johnwest7993]

Yours is not only one of the best KZbin channels, you are also the most thoughtful and ethical person on KZbin. You're a good man.

[@markschraven7972]

🙏

[@NewSkiwi]

Totally agree!!!

[@thelonerizla1]

Absolutely!

[@jkjobies]

I agree too. The camera doesn't lie! You come across as so sincere and no drama. Love your KZbin. Greetings from Ireland!

[@prospect8696]

100% agree.

[@sailor5026]

You guys have done a lot of hard work. I hope that you are successful. Thank you for for your sincere comments.

[@blimpcommander1337]

You hit the nail on the head. Some sailing/boating channels have one break down or catastrophe after another to try and get the viewers to send more money. I just hope some of those channels see this video.

[@TA-bs1hr]

What are these channels? I seem to have happily avoided them :D

[@blimpcommander1337]

@@TA-bs1hr I hate to call them by name, but one is trying to convert a sunken trawler into an Antarctic expedition boat. They have nothing but troubles either knew problems with the boat, pets are sick, or medical issues. They decided 2 years past the splash date that the engine was crap. Did a go fund me raised $30,000 which would have bought a new engine then bought an old engine to rebuild and are spending the money elsewhere. Still no new splash date as they keep changing things.

[@TA-bs1hr]

@@blimpcommander1337 OK. I am more sad than pissed about Brupegs situation. I find them really hard working and the ideology behind the project seems great.

[@ballyhoo48]

I agree. They are staged. I have stopped watching those some time ago. New breast implants is hardly what a sailing chanel should be about

[@curtishill6490]

Thank you for the video! Especially the Northern Lights👍🙏It's so beautiful there😁that's so cool to be in that spring with a snow covered landscape 😁What happens at the springs , stays at the springs😁stay safe guys and thanks for sharing 👍🙏

[@portfoliofotoz]

Best episode ever. I’ll probably watch it several times. Your aurora video was emotionally stunning.

[@torsacci]

My wife introduced me to Finland years ago. We had the good fortune of sailing there too. I always tell people it’s one of my favorite countries in the world to visit. Besides the natural Nordic beauty I find the Finnish people amazing. Highly educated with integrity. You two fit that 100%. I look forward to your future adventures.

[@bikrboy281]

Wow some of the coolest drone shots. Wish I were there.

[@yulai1002]

Thank you , this is the best episode , the snow falling and you got the right music awesome chapter , thank you for such beautiful pictures , well done , good bye

[@keithh.2624]

Flying in the snow can be precarious, a masterful job, I must say! Sailing with no visibility is treacherous!!!!

[@EnriqueDeQuesada101]

Impressive and both of you very brave!! Please continue with the videos, I am every week waiting for you!!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Subscribers helping sustain your journey enables your video productions. Plus, having a small reserve to be prepared for the unexpected expenses that are always lurking is completely justified and sensible

[@jayvayzer]

I love your channel! Been following for awhile and I have to say your cinematography and editing have become first class. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and safe travels:)

[@Rittlesleo]

We could never do what you are doing! Only warm climes for us. It's beautiful where you are and we love seeing it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

What an incredible job you both do with the videos....and as the camera never blinks it's clear that you are both quite special.

[@johnwalker6711]

Another great episode guys the footage is just incredible Fair Winds !!

[@Joe-zt7ef]

You guys are the real deal!! I love the content and how you approach everything, many more years please :)

[@ApplePie-]

Thank you, for a breath of fresh air!

[@jenateer2518]

a small blower might be helpful if you are going to be sailing in snow in the future. Love your videos. Keep it coming

[@BuzzSargent]

The apprehension in your voice during the speech was evident. I like your honesty and support your effort. You and your girlfriend are very enjoyable to watch. I only watch YT once in a while. Happy Trails

[@nicolagandy5934]

Not only do I learn something new with EVERY episode (from forced air diesel installation to topographic map reading prep for strong winds) but I am mesmerised by how beautifully shot and edited your videos are, Juho. As a v early follower of your adventures on KZbin, it's been an amazing progression and you deserve every single subscriber and more!

[@mallory0322]

Absolutely STUNNING location! Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey!❄️🏔️❄️ Lovely week to you and Sohvi🌼

[@guvnermcgovern]

Yes you are absolutely right about the other channels that try to grab funds by any means, but your channel has quality content that is worth paying for.

[@MS-Matakana]

Hey bro Gotta be your best video to date, Your honesty is your asset and your channel will shine to the brightness of input. Enjoy the journey, in the future you will look back and have fond memories of these times and that where the true value is. God bless from NZ

[@JohnButterill]

Well said, agree with everything mentioned love your content.

[@panpawedunker3870]

If you ever start crowdfunder for snowshoes, i'll donate. You've done such a hard work reaching this hot springs :) fair winds and a feet of water under keel!

[@smulismuli7976]

I follow about 30-40 sailing channels or so and recognise what you are saying. You always here the phrase "support us, so we can continue doing videos" while it actually is "we need money to keep on living like this" even they don't necessarily need money. Some are more aggressive (begging) than others. I think in the end it's for the viewer to decide what they do and whether they support financially or not just like you said. But it is a bit murican thing just like tipping;) Terveisia Belgiasta...Peramerella on viimein jäät sulanneet niin pääsee kohta pääsee seilaamaan;)

[@HrvojeJuvancic]

I like your fair commentary on the money circumstances. You asked what we want to see. I would like to see more precise tips and video covering of the navigational and boat maintenance details from the cold climate. More informations like it was: if you let too much snow on the boat, it could sink you through hoses. Is there some problems with diesel and engine? What do you think about navigation on the cold waters with electric engine like some vlogers do. How much fuel do you need and have when go north? What kind of sea floor is in the anchoragrs you visit? How do you manage enough electric power? Maybe you mentioned that before, but tip oriented discourse is what i prefere.

[@peterforsythe3643]

I think you DID capture the Northen Lights. Brill!

[@jerzybartonezz4439]

You are creating magic videos. I like so much your modest personality. It is so refreshing to see videography of such high quality.

[@pablocorrech2639]

Juho and Sihvi, excellent content from the very beggining!!! Showing sailing and skiing in extreme conditions, filming and sharing. No doubt you have lots of grateful viewers...

[@TimothyCatan]

Just found your channel. Truly wonderful! Sailing in such conditions never occurred to me. What an eye opener.

[@president2]

Love it keep it up as always 💘

[@bridgerandall5837]

You two were the first you tube stars I’ve ever seen in person! We were hauling out at Astoria Oregon for a survey and you were launching. I’ve been following you for quite a while and am have enjoyed all of your videos. You are the rare example of quality art versus advertisement. It is rare and beautiful. Thank you for all your efforts. You are an inspiration! Hey Tenakee springs is a beautiful hot springs. I grew up not far from there. Enjoy and keep doing what your doing!

[@wrathroc]

First voyagers going into cold that I’ve watched. Love the idea you are truly free. Good for you. Or anyone who breaks out and explores

[@chrisbailey6986]

7:32 I gasped. So beautiful. Thank you!

[@SerbanOprescu]

You two are happy together. This is a huge gift.

[@rationalist47]

You are one of the most competent sailing KZbinrs as well as one of the most modest and honest. I am pretty sure that you upload more content for less income than most others as well. I cannot afford much more support than to subscribe, upvote, and comment. So thank you.

[@danielmurphy9140]

Coming from New England one problem with a snowing winter is where to put this stuff. At least you can just throw it into the water that will take all you have.

[@philipwright7186]

What a truly spectacular place, and beautifully filmed. There must be endlsss hardships sailing in that environment but you never capitalize on it, you take nothing from the beauty of the places you go, so great respect to you for that. As far as I'm concerned, you more than deserve to earn a living out of what you do.

[@MicBruise]

Love your channel, and your uniquely Finnish attitude (There is no bad weather, just inadequate clothing). Keep doing what you are doing, it's working.

[@jesper1406]

I haven't got the financial means to support you, as I have my own projects, but I will watch every second of your videos to give you as much view as possible... ❤

[@roytaylor6519]

So so beautiful that's breathtaking.

[@rogermace4516]

Love your talk at the end. It is so very true about many youtube producers. I myself have been caught out donating to people who have cried poor, then all of a sudden they have bought a new boat or 4 wheel drive. So thank you for being one of the honest ones .

[@2DLAKE2]

Just keep showing us the “THINGS” that you love along with your extreme humility buddy! You’ve caught this “Okie’s” attention and I love the videos… of course bloopers are great laugh too!

[@kennethjackson3377]

If you are in Ketchikan I'd love to meet you guys!

[@johnlawrence7268]

I thoroughly enjoy every video you have made and I've followed you from the beginning. I've said it before, as have others, but your cinematography is without question outstanding! Is there the opportunity for subscribers to make a one-off donation? I'm reluctant to tie myself into monthly patron subscriptions.

[@MarinaBatham]

I love your work and you do provide beautiful photography, good information and really unusual destinations. Thanks!

[@MickeyGSinger]

Tell me more about your skiing. I guess all in Finland. ?Did you compete ? What skiing do you like most like outback powder or slalom etc??

[@ashotkk1]

For cleaning the snow i suggest using battery powered leav blower.

[@Aligee88]

Grazy Finns, it recalls me staying one year in Austria in years 1988-1989. We went for skiing in Grand Montana in Switzerland and the weather got very bad and they closed the main piste.I decided to run anyhow that piste. In the middle of the run I heard some people aproaching me. Then I heard them talking and saying " kyllä on vittumainen lumimyräkkä" the first Finns I had met during the last 9 months. A great video from you once again! Sohvi is cute!❤

[@snee85]

Your cinematography in this vid is amazing!

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

Wow, that was a beautiful episode, the northern lights, the snow storm and then the hot springs, thanks for sharing, I hope your channel grows in strength to strength, it’s one of my favourite. Thank you

[@annaherlinger6316]

What you have said is very true, on all counts. You and Sohvi have integrity!

[@stephen6378]

The scenery the snow - just wonderful views

[@yahyadervis4706]

beautiful and relaxing. Thank you

[@dazzk9635]

Juho... Is there a way to donate Funds not via YT or Patreon? Only because they take 30% & i'd prefer to donate you a lump sum where the money is in your pocket.... if i sent you £200 YT & PAT would take £60 for them self.... I love your channel, it's Soo diffrent to the rest... Something like crypto where you show your Address and I just send money to you...... It's just a thought.... Enjoy... Dazz

[@craigmartin8326]

This is what I am looking at doing by the end off the year heading from Australia on the same root as yo are doing.

[@donnanhuggler8451]

I’m not exactly sure why I wish I was there in a boat just like your’s… maybe within a mile from you guys, so we would go fishing or have dinner and drinks every so often

[@nav1269]

I loved your honest talk about KZbin sailing channels. I personally know a number of the big ones and have been following YT sailing channels from the Delos days and have been in many videos myself. I rarely watch any new copy channels asking for money, but you have a great style and something a little bit different. Keep up the hard work and I hope I meet you in a perfect anchorage one day. Love your work

[@eleutheros]

Very enjoyable, beautiful scenery. I’m just glad you’re willing to brave the cold for our benefit.

[@boredgaminglowammo9335]

I admire your honesty. I enjoy and appreciate your content. Keep up your adventure!

Until now I really did not get your title “Alluring” - I’ve been in snow, but this was so beautiful in a way I never expected..❤

[@TheNadOby]

Sending love, continue to do what you like, I'll continue to watch.

[@slowlydimming4320]

Been following you folks since you started the build on your boat, you folks are genuine rarley seen these days! Wish i i could do more, you deserve it! For now all i can do is follow both your adventures here! Be safe!! Have to add great drone shots!!

[@InfiniteAmbient]

must be so cozy once you got in the boat when it's cold outside...

[@chrysalide_aero]

Seems quite remote, the water wasn't cold i believe ?Lovely places, Regards, Jean-François

Everything is a trade off and balance on a boat

You guys are testing the limits of the Sailboat equipment and humans. Incredible

[@jeffreywilson6172]

Hi, I have been watching your adventures from Australia for some time now and am enjoying your sailing through Alaska. Have been to Ketchican and it brought back memories seeing the harbour. I am not a sailor but admire you both for what you are doing. Best wishes.

[@ДмитрийСергеевич-ы6э]

Впервые такое вижу! Это безумие но красиво!

[@АндрейЛавров-ъ8м]

Super 🔥🔥🔥

[@paulabes4220]

Watching you set up the stove pipe. Reminded me of back in 1975 we were night sailing off the west coast of Vancouver Island. It was around dinner time, so we were cooking. The stove pipe cleared the boom in normal conditions. For a reason I can't remember we had to jive very suddenly. So, while jiving the boom dropped and as it came across it hit and knocked of the stove pipe off. Then the cabin started to fill with smoke. It was pretty funny at the time.

[@cmr5996]

chilling in a hot spring in Alaska while it's snowing😭😭😭I'm jealous

[@radleysmith7528]

How about taking Gretta and Klaus on a one way trip to somewhere desolate and cold, I'd be up for sponsoring that

[@kez963]

Tip for next snowy day: Flip the dingy upside down :P

[@sailingbeyond9657]

Skiing from the boat, go to Kodiak

[@JohnSchaefer-b3v]

I enjoy your talks very much so keep it up and stop worrying about the money.....I also enjoy your pictures and have just purchased a third one for my wall and feel the quality and the material is exceptional with very fast professional service by the supplier....I do watch several couples and have done so for several years and I hope you all keep up the good work...somehow I enjoy what you all are doing with your lives and do watch several different pod casts for different reasons some for information reasons.... especially PhD's who are allowed the time to make their points for the world to consider... I have three PhD's myself and love to tell anyone willing to listen to me what I think LOL sometimes painful to hear....You both are truly a Treasure.... you have no idea how special you both are to your audience....worth every penny you receive in my opinion...Thank You Both

[@sophiesaunders661]

Hi - I’m building a small sailboat - and trying to buy a livaboard sailboat to retire to . I have watched a lot of channels and certain ones make me feel uneasy ( no names ) it’s about being genuine- TV stars get lots of money , same thing? I don’t know. I don’t give money to people who seen very well set up and push the advertising and patreon and PayPal. I am retired and have saved for many years to buy a boat. So love your channel, I’m learning from your videos , keep them coming .

[@julianbatcheler9970]

simply stunning...

[@mikefriend7570]

In answer to your musings several things are of real interest to me. I mainly follow channels such as yours because I am interested in sailing, but also that you have set yourself a pathway in life that is VERY different from most, and this pathway is extremely interesting. I’m assuming, possibly incorrectly, that whilst you have a lovely yacht, you have to finance it is some way or another. In order to to this you either have to get a job that is digitally based in some way or another, or retire to the ski fields to instruct others etc. I’m not in a position to be able to be a financial supporter via Patreon and I’m betting that most people would be in this position and so you are reliant on people with flipping great wads of cash who want to support the kind of lifestyle you’ve chosen. I think this is an amazing way to pursue those interests and activities that both your partner and you want to do. So I wouldn’t be too concerned about how you finance your ride since in real terms those who pay gain nothing but the pleasure of following you both, and donate money because they have spare dosh. I’d be really interested to know how long it’s taken you to build up a financial support structure. As an artist I pay for a website that has been active for three years now and seems to attract to interest even though by following me punters would gain an artwork if they like what they see. So keep enjoying your blessed life style and my hope is that people one way or another will contribute financially to allow you to continue. RESPECT!
