Kiitos! Love your story!!! I always think about people moving to cities while I am trying to get as far from them as possible! It sure does come with a learning curve to get off grid and is not as romantic as it might seem, but I am sure I would love it! So inspiring to hear from people who have made the move from the cities and built their new life like that! Thank you so much for sharing and all the best to you!!

Great video and story. Those trees covered with wet snow looked surreal. I've never been to Finland but I had a college student pen-pal from Koskitie in 1960 and used to send me similar snowy landscape pictures of Oulu and surrounding areas.

You can keep the battery to your camera in your inner pocket, until you start photografing, that way it stays warm longer.

[@ViiveKaiRebane]

Yup, very good suggestion :)

[@just42tube]

Remote places have the effect on people that they can reflect on their lives and find something new. In some ways Lapland is a place where visitors can step out of old life and society. And still they are or can become part of local society, which can be even more close than in towns and cities, if you become part of it and don't be just a tourist.

[@ViiveKaiRebane]

Agree 100% :) Totally a place to go inwards and look deep inside& reflect!

You really are not alone in this. This is generally a possibility to happen between people. So you can go again with another person. The only help. As you did, let the other one be completely alone. Don't give in if another person steals your energy. "Here and Now" is a good idea to base yourself with. Find and do what gives you the joy of living.....

Thank you for nice wishes! Really appreciate you calling me out on that one haha that is a good point! I just realized I dont know how Finns say it and looked it up on youtube!

[@Aurinkohirvi]

It depends how well you are dressed, if you need the hat or not. And what you do. When I was in the army, I was in winter Lapland and there was -43C temperature, I was much of the time without hat and gloves. I was building phonelines in the forest, and had enough good clothes on me, so hat was too much, and I needed bare fingers to use tools and make wire connections. We were outside two nights and days before we got into a tent: I couldn't get boots out from my feet, because the felt inside my boots were frozen solid of the sweat moisture. Sweating is an enemy also, so you need to take care you aren't sweating too much.
