Remote Motorcycle Camping in the Finnish Wilderness | Ep.6

[@KeithChegwin24]

My wife and I went camping 30yrs or so ago and I suddenly started getting mad chest pains when we were sat around the fire. I asked my wife to call an ambulance as I thought I was having a heart attack. She looked at my chest and said "no, one of the embers from the fire has burnt a hole through your t-shirt" 😂

[@arthurkettle3010]

Mitch telling the fire to eff off was comedy gold 😂

[@gozamite]

Genuine laughter from me too!

[@Moto-Scot]

My current favourite channel, so different from anything else out there. Enjoy

[@DMDyoutube123]

Considering you have not long passed your bike test you are smashing it !! Riding across Europe! Amazing

[@Xerdoz]

The Finnish national animal. The mosquito. You get very well acquainted with them in Eastern and Northern parts of Finland.

[@najken]

Great video as always, and Mitch , you can always buy new clothes, memories however are forever. I hope you feel fond over the fishing trip today

[@מרשהחכמון]

Laughed out loud when you got in the boat the first time. So therapeutic. Thank you. ❤

[@RealRexify]

Yayyy EP.6, lovely time to munch my takeaway and watch this. Stay safe Mitch and Martha, looking forward for more episodes ❤

[@allanjacobs3735]

Since you guys started this series you've gained almost another 5k subs, you're really onto something here 👏🏻 just to think I started watching your videos when you were on 6k

[@MikaelHindsberg]

The cloudy water was most likely just air bubbles. If you’d waited a few minutes it should have cleared. I’ve never encountered bad water here in Finland.

[@KariLepola]

Yeah, as long as we don't mention the water chrisis in Nokia (city of) some years ago. Lets just say that the story got interesting...💩

[@MikaelHindsberg]

@@KariLepola well yes, shit happens (pun intended). But normally every tap will be ok. And cloudy water usually means there's just air in it.

[@liannfoster5467]

You are absolutely spoiling us ❤

[@colezg2947]

Enjoying the new intro and the format, great trip stay safe 😊

[@kevjaffray]

If I'd said that the only thing I was emotionally connected to was clothes, I would have a very sore face 🤣Great adventure guys, making memories for life 🥰

[@villemononen5303]

Hopefully your Finnish trip has been good enough by end of the day. It's been a very interesting trip to follow and you're both a cool bunch. Welcome to Finland :)

[@Charleroifa]

This video series is very entertaining to follow. Well edited, great experiences. Thumbs up!

[@lesleybrown-ct4hi]

Loving these videos. The best I have seen. Thanks

[@kaizen2049]

You guys are doing an amazing job keep going strong ❤

[@tisbarb]

Hey Mitch you can’t be a fire warrior without a few battle scars! The hole in your top is a reminder of that - it’s a fire medal 😊Really loving the adventure, you two are hilarious ♥️ Barb from down under!

[@richiebainbridge2608]

Giving the fire the finger cracked me up 😂 Those bloody flies would do my napper in, great video, cheers.

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Great video, beautiful scenery!! Hope all is well, take care of yourselves

[@JaQe85]

I drive today partly on that same TET route. Those little bastards on your tent are "mäkäräisiä" and they bite pretty good. Have a nice trip guys!

[@GaryPeckham]

Sitting in bed with earbuds in and laughing at Mitch telling the fire to F off was brilliant. Loving following you guys. Also great to hear you refer to your evening meal as your “tea” cos that’s what we call it too in this part of Merseyside 👍

[@timhaines3044]

Hi Martha and Mitch, so happy you are both having a great time. Mitch has got lighting fires down pat. He is so funny with his boating exploits,I was laughing along with you Martha . Shame you lost your tripod,but things happen sometimes. As for his coat almost catching fire,I can understand being upset, because it has damaged it. Your utube channel is may favourite. Look after yourselfs, and each other. Keep safe on the trails and roads. Bye for now Tim Melbourne.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Smoking mosquitoes out? Your tent will smell. But if it worked, a fine method and more ecological than spray, too. You do find nice spots for camping. Pity about the vest. Great series, every day I enjoy a new episode to catch up. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

[@KariLepola]

Hey, camping gear should have a couple of holes (and patches) from sparks. They should also reek of smoke. And then you can just use them without worry or stress. They are there to function, imaaageee questions are secondary. And congrats, you now own such a garment. And what a story to go with the holes.🔥💧🤠👍

[@aksuahkera4052]

No one will steal your helmets while you are shopping in finland,i guarantee.

[@jerekorva]

All in all, that boat looked like a floating vessel from the start. Even without the tap.

[@AHikerBikerLife]

Oooh, that emotion because of the whole in the jumper is sooo familiar 😂! When on the road you somehow get attached to those few pieces you carry and then strangely enough they start to mean to the world to you 🤔. Hope you could maybe sew it back together!

[@Haasa90]

Hi, I've been watching your videos for a while now, and it's been fun to follow your journey here in Finland, where I also live. There are indeed plenty of lakes and varying landscapes here. Personally, I enjoy the nature and scenery of Lapland the most, even though I've only been there twice. The environment is incredibly clean there; for example, in Lapland, you can safely drink natural water almost anywhere as long as it's flowing. Of course, it's at your own risk, but I've often drunk from mountain streams. And in Lapland, you often see reindeer, and at campsites, there are usually Siberian jays, which are very tame birds and will come to eat from your hand, for example, nuts. So enjoy your journey in Finland and take in the nature and scenery.

[@warrenr4]

Only started watching this series yesterday, binge watched and caught up. Loving it so far 🙏🏻 I’ve done a lot of wild camping in Finland and love the toasting marsh mallows from Lidl 😃 I bought myself a telescopic toasting fork, available from most supermarkets and excellent for cooking Lidl bratwurst as well 😁

[@JulianOLeary-nv5nc]

The ending......Mitch you had me in stitches!!!😂😂😂😂 Love to you both.

[@daviejamesc429]

Brilliant video , great your both having fun Me I'm just close to buying a gimbal and starting and planning my first blog

Great stuff!

[@jonaspersson6135]

Hello guys, thanks for sharing, so nice videos,welcome to norden,soon in sweden ❤🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@peterclose9073]

Really enjoying joining you on this adventure. Keep the videos coming. Just one minor comment, completely understand why you wanted to get rid of the insects. I would want to do the same. However you should never ever put anything smokey in your tent such as burning logs or a BBQ because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

[@golamtayabur6577]

awesome

[@iitu2]

You can get water from every single water tap. Some bathroom sinks might be too tiny to fit a water bottle under the tap. Bur the water in bathroom taps is same water as everywhere else.

[@daner.d]

you should stop at a fish and tackle shop and see if they have a fishing rod that's telescopic, it collapses down to the length of your fore arm. much smaller than your tripod. its like having a full fishing rod. try not to burn pine wood or really sappy wood that stuff like to pop with little amber missiles. this is fun to watch you guys travel

[@peketee2278]

the pine is fine, but the spruce pops...

[@leooneill1693]

Hi guys, great video. Try sleeping with only the inner part of the tent if you know it's going to be a dry night.

[@nikke8058]

It’s a type of mosquitoes ( the small flies) but they kinda bite instead. We call them knott in Swedish.

[@toinenosoite3173]

Have to just say this: You want less mosquitoes? Don't put your tent close to water! The drier the place, the less pesty flying "thingies". Anyway, love your videos!

[@novoiperkele]

20:25 there is a hole in the boat so it wont fill up from rain water. There should be a plug in the boat for the hole.

[@TravelWithBek]

Aww Mitch was so sad about the boat (at first) and the jumper. Did he end up catching a fish?

[@olismotoadventures]

You 2 are just nut jobs. I love it

[@grantlingley1385]

You guys are just the best and I am thoroughly enjoying this series! Just awesome! Thanks so much for taking us all along. Martha, you have progressed so well in your riding. Holes in gear just adds to the experience! Every time you wear that gear you will remember the awesome time you had in that boat on that wicked trip!

[@W34Z3L]

5:20 you can just let your helmets outside. Scandinavia is not Britain :D

[@VansCampingLife]

Yes! Guys, wanted to ask a question. I have a lifted up overland style Vw campervan, me and the wife would love to visit the lakes in Finland on the TET, do you think a small van would be suitable for the trail? I see some of you footage is a firm no but I see sometimes there are cars and stuff around

[@Carter-o5n]

Hey Mitch, what app you using for gps & turn by turn? Cheers fella

Just recently started following yall and love the content. My girlfriend and I are looking to get into ADV riding and were stuck right now between these 300 rallys, and something more of an AT. Have you noticed any benefits of the rally aside from weight? Thanks in advance!

[@DragonSniper43]

fire 1 Mitch 0. fire will always win, but did the smoke out work fully?

[@CU65LATER]

Tip for day. If you use syntetic clothes do not put spruce on fire . Use something else instead.

[@MotoKringles]

2:32 your what now? 😂

[@kristerhegsund5752]

I have so much fun watching you guys. It is like watching when we were kids up here figuring stuff out in our nature. U guys are killing it this far. You survived obviously. It is always up and down in nature here. You get a knife in your foot trying to throw knifes at trees at 8 years old or loose a hand building a bomb from the gunpowder of many fireworks to blow up a shed you just found deep in the forest. The next day you land a 12 Kg pike and the train is back on track. The aussies definitely have the same bug. UK is so far from that(worked alot there over the years... so much control :s ) .

[@BorderGuardJaegerFinlandia]

Cant you have these tent "Doors" open so it doesn't get so warm. You must surely have a net of some kind so you don't end up with a lot of mosquitoes inside the tent...

[@novoiperkele]

11:40 "fruit flies" are "mäkärä" in finnish, they sting..

[@McSlobo]

No. Fruit fly is banaanikärpänen in Finnish (although the banana fly is not the only fruit fly). However, they were encountering blackflies (mäkärä or mäkäräinen) or biting midges (polttiainen). Both are nasty mofos.

[@Pietruska17]

Looks like you enjoy our mäkäräisistä. I think they are called horse flys or something like that in american english.

[@vaisukala5127]

Yup, mäkäräinen... there's a tongue twister for you English speakers 😄They are Black Flys or Gnats in American English. A Horse Fly is paarma in Finnish.

About the boat: i am pretty sure the owner have on purpose left that boat unlocked to let anyone lend it. You see the mindset in Nordic countries is sometimes very different from it in other places in the world. About the inside t with the clothes. On my sona 8 years birthday he got a new sweater he had been wanting for a long time. He put it prowdly on at his kids birthday party, when playing in the garden on that party he fell out of a tree and broke his arm. At the hospital they had to cut the sweater open to be able to undress him, and he cried more over that than the arm pain. A few days later i put the sweater behind a glassed frame, it it hang in his bedroom for several years. As a reminder of a good patrty😊

[@petrikuula634]

we dont maintain these free lean to shelters with ready made firefood next to clean lakes for people without respect and gratitude.

[@RevGerryRM]

I would hope you're emotionally attached to Martha!!😮

[@Batmund]

Funny how you think it is okay to just take peoples boats.. different cultures i guess..

[@AlexKall]

I like the videos, but not the use of other peoples property without permission. You shouldn't have to have a sign saying "don't use" because it's a given, you don't take or use someone elses stuff without permission. I know you can't have it undone as it's probably recorded some time ago, but please think of it in the future. If it's not yours, let it be.

[@arthurkettle3010]

Behave yourself...it was an unlocked wreck next to public/ provided shelter...if have done the exact same thing and assumed it was for the people's use

[@McBiker69]

​@@arthurkettle3010it's called common sense, if ain't ures, don't take/use it

[@hkcam9398]

No. Stop trying to create trouble or bad feeling about something you don’t know about.If a boat is not for use either the oars are removed or it is locked. They helped maintain the boat bailing the water out. They did nothing wrong.

[@Carter-o5n]

I’m finish and live at that lake, the boat is mine. I authorised them to use it
