Spring in Finland | This is what early May looks like!

[@maggiespeaks8555]

i grew up by Lake Superior… never warms up. you walk out knee deep, come back, and it takes 30 minutes for your legs and feet to warm back up. watching you take that dip reminded me of old times… Great content Helene.

[@1ouncebird]

Heline - you are nutsy-crazy going into that icy cold water like that - though I know it is a thing that people from your country do. I like the country at your Aunt's house. And your camper/trailer looks very nice. Thanks for showing us your trip.

[@kajlennartsson4234]

You are so brave Heline. I wish you a wonderful and beautiful spring🌞🌞☘☘🌼🌼🌻🌻

[@blortmeister]

I once did kayak rescue practice in a lake with little bits of ice on it. Give me the ocean anytime! Glad you're noticing the change of seasons.

Love the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch!

The peace of mountains!

Thanks for sharing, Heline. It looks wonderful out there.

Thanks - Heline, keep up the great content x

Thank you!

Hi Heline!🦄 the egg is looking like a home away from home! So wonderful to see you enjoying life!😁

[@dennishinkle5010]

Your spring is quite different from ours here we have been 30 already but 40 is coming soon. Have a good time and enjoy the fresh air.👍♥️

[@cflyer550]

Love your adventures. Seeing the last remnants of snow as spring comes is worth the road-trip.

[@deaseil]

Good catch with the Duct Tape!!

[@1ouncebird]

I was waiting for the roll of tape to go off the back end onto the ground but Heline made a nice save.

[@deaseil]

Absolutely

[@magaisacult2023]

I am in Florida, I live 1/2 mile from the Gulf of Mexico. Water temps are about 80 degrees Fahrenheit already, will be 86-88 by end of summer! You are brave plunging into that water!

[@Revelwoodie]

I visited with my sister in Vermont for like 5 days last year, and it was great. Liberating. Other than those five days, I haven't left my city in years. I need to get out for a while. Sleep outside. Go swimming. I don't know...do nature stuff. I need fresh air and lightning bugs.

[@peterdoe2617]

Hi Heline, we've been out camping last weekend. Some 200km south of Hamburg, Germany. 12°C in the night. It was O.K. Rule of thumb down here is: 100km south, the spring is one week further. So: your spring is still almost winter for us: haha! Thanks for sharing! Such a beautiful place!

[@WardDorrity]

You need a nice sauna after that ice cold dip! Beautiful Heline, beautiful Finland.

[@HelineFay]

Haha I want directly in the sauna after the dip!

[@meganmcgee7875]

Beautiful forest, is that taiga? Hoped to hear the flute acoustics in the trailer. Nice filming and editing on this video

[@MikeySee563]

You are a cool person. :) Keep it up!

[@BlackTecc]

Very nice

Hello heline from Pennsylvania. Hope😊 summer arrives soon for you.

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Hi Heline! It hurt me when you went in the water. :D

[@SFLET-up9ll]

What do you think of the Zoom Q8? I have had mine for 5+ years. Great camera for music. Many times I run 2 Ear Trumpet Labs mics and turn the on board mics off. Using the separate WAV file are great to import into any DAW. Love your Vids. ❤

[@simonhjc]

Ive no idea how you do that.. plunging

Sometimes it feels good to get away from it all 😊

You the same DTOM from Runescape Alliance???

@@michaelfrank2266 do not know what that is, so no 😅

[@michaelfrank2266]

@@VivaLaDnDLogs Oh. Dirty shame. I hoped I had reconnected with an old friend. :(( Sorry. I know you can see Heline is a heck of a gal and she plays a flute when she is not out in the wilderness. Enjoy.

[@esalehtismaki]

So it doesn't bother you to drink tea from a mug that says "OK but first coffee"? 🙂

[@michaelfrank2266]

😄

[@HelineFay]

Well, at that point I already had my coffee earlier :D

[@michaelfrank2266]

I was going to wait and tally all my views on YT. Didn't happen. This is now 6th time +. I am still looking forward to you sitting down and casually having that tea with us 😉😊

[@Le_Tiger]

i i ice? 🥶

[@Le_Tiger]

so nice landscape and forrest sounds

[@ChrisCebelenski]

Spring is teasing us here - what I fear is that once again we will go from cold/miserable to hot/miserable with very little in between. No snow left here at my elevation, but still some up higher in the mountains. Nights in the 45F range and days maybe low 60sF with a few days nicer so far. I've been able to get out for a few longer walks when it was one of the nicer days, and maybe this weekend I will risk buying some basil and pepper plants for some potted growing this summer. Basil pesto from your own grown plants is heaven!

[@thespinner5484]

I love when you make these types of videos. I have similar videos on my channel. I also have some bizarre music that I created.

[@artrogers3985]

Oy vey! Way too cold for me. Good for you. Okay, now play Bourre while sitting in that water. 😂😮

[@HelineFay]

Lol that sounds like a good challenge

[@ottofischer52]

I once had a girl what should I say…in Finland,Heinävesi,Valaamo…..

[@viennapalace]

The only question I have is, do your dogs understand English AND Finnish? Greetings from (not currently very) sunny South Australia! And please give the dogs a belly rub for me. You know they deserve it.

[@philmo9667]

Also a fan , from Adelaide SA .

[@michaelfrank2266]

Incase she does not say so. Yes. Her dogs do mostly Finnish but they easily pick up on English when it is of their interest. ie food.

[@viennapalace]

@@michaelfrank2266 Ha ha ha! Funny you should mention that! My old dog could understand the word "walk" in at least 5 different languages (English, Italian, Greek, Russian & Finnish). I often wondered if he was a mind reader... 😆

[@HelineFay]

My dogs mostly do Finnish but as mentioned, they've picked up some words in English! I think they mostly understand the tones of the speech though.

[@Chef-Chad]

let me know if you need a life partner?
