Today is the 22nd of October
it´s a bright fall day
this place is my local recreational forest
The area is called Kintulammi
I spend alot of time here
we´re here for a 24 hour camping trip
so we´ll be staying for one night
we´ll get to enjoy the peace of nature
I also have some good food so
there´s everything I need for quality time
You´re welcome to join me!
A Night out in the Woods with Camp Cooking
Hey guys, I´m happy to be out again
although it got cloudy just as I said that it´s a sunny day
the sun hid behind clouds immediately
Kintulammi is the name of this lake and the area too
it can be confusing sometimes
´lammi´ is local dialect and means
the same as ´lampi´ , a pond literally
At the other end of the lake there´s a cabin
and on the same shore, an open shelter
Let´s go and see the shelter
It´s a funny little lean-to shelter
the wood looks old, but
it´s recycled from elsewhere
the lean-to was built six months ago or so
a good idea to bring old logs for new use
There´s also planks to the water
easier to take water or get up if you go swimming
It was raining a while ago
I hurried to get here
this is the next lake up north
one of the camping area´s campsites is here
we´ll stay here overnight
this lake is named after the narrow part here
(the lake´s name has the word neck in it)
the lake continues that way
the lake is pretty wide on the south end
so this is the ´neck´ of the lake
the fireplace is on a slope here
the north end of the lake is back there
the firewood shed is up on the top
I found a decent spot for the hammock
this is maybe 50 meters from the fireplace
I took some distance
in case other people would come
I don´t want to be too close
it´s a monday evening, so
not very likely that anyone would come
it was just raining and I rigged the tarp first
and hung up the other stuff
sheltered from the rain
the rain stopped and it´s looking quite clear now
I´m glad the rain ended
not a bad view from my hammock unto the lake
but I´m too hungry to
appreciate the views just now
my stomach´s growling all the time
I have some mulled wine concentrate here
I´ll make a nice hot drink first
it´s THAT time of the year soon - christmas
all the stores have christmas foods and drinks already
and other christmas stuff
a bit too meagre maybe?
For starter I think I´ll have one of these
a little Spanish chorizo sausage
haven´t tasted these before
okay let´s have a taste of this
the texture is very solid
compared to Finnish sausages
this is very solid stuff
is it the amount of meat or what
well, I don´t know but it tastes great
for main dinner I have
two chicken fillets, I´ll roast them on the grill
with it I have some broccoli
I´ll add some cream and smoked cheese
this is good stuff
we´ll see how they mix together
will they fit in this...they do
then unto the fire
here´s the broccoli lightly boiled
I poured most of the water out
there´s just a small amount of water now
let´s add some cream
three slices of cheese maybe
I´m just guessing how much is good
The cheese melted quickly
there´s too much water in this
I never get it just right I guess
I´ll just boil it down some
the chicken fillets are done, I just keep them hot here
I´ll only add a little salt on the chicken meat
The food turned out fine but nothing spectacular
a little too much smoke flavour
some regular cheese might have been better
Very good anyway
It´s a little over 10pm
I´m resting and warming up in the hammock
it´s a bit too early for sleep, but
I kinda got bored sitting by the fire
it gets dark quite early already
sunset is at six o´clock or so
after that it gets dark quickly
That´s a lot of time to spend
sitting in the darkness awake
Must get used to the darkness after summer again
we´re approaching the darkest time
not a favourite time of the year for me
from October to December
the darkness can get overwhelming
somewhat nasty time of the year
after winter solstice it gets better
a promise of a new spring
My favourite time is from around March until May
the light returns quickly
somehow I´m living with the year cycle
I don´t want complain about the dark winter
it just wouldn ´t be the same without the cycle
it is what it is...
Usually snow comes at around new year
we don´t have proper snow every year
some winters are wet and damp
so if there is snow,
it comes at around new year the earliest
the snow makes it a lot brighter
it reflects a lot of the dim daylight
the darkness takes some getting used to, every year
I guess I´ll
try and sleep
see you in the morning!
Morning!
it´s 9am
the temperature is just above freezing
the air is chilly
a cold breath rises from the lake
it´s evident at the shore here
This axe was sponsored to me by Lamnia
it´s a Hultafors Hultån camping axe
it weighs 800g (1.7lbs)
the axe head weighs half a kilo (1.1lbs)
the shaft makes the rest
it´s a notch heavier than my Gransbruk´s Outdoor Axe
I asked for this model because of the shaft mainly
it fits into any backpack, and
the shaft is also wide enough for
my large hands, to get a good grip
a good grip keeps the axe from rotating in my hand
Lamnia is a Finnish knife and axe retailer
they have an enormous selection of knives,
axes, tomahawks,
blade tools in general
I´ve been their customer for some time
just bought a knife from them also
I have a discount code for you,
a 10% discount for the next two weeks in Lamnia web shop
if you need something from them, use the discount
the code and the time that it´s valid can be found in the description
Now this is a breakfast for true men
a couple of the chorizo sausages, and two eggs, coffee
Normally I don´t have quite this heavy breakfast
but since I have two sausages from yesterday,
I´ll definitely eat them, they taste great
It´s a peaceful morning
the air is dead still
there was more bird sounds earlier
there´s a woodpecker in the distance
not sure if you can hear it
overall it´s a very quiet forest
at this time of the year
the sky is full overcast
I think it was supposed to be sunny
the forecasts are far off sometimes
I packed my stuff. Let´s see a couple of places on the way out
first there´s a small forest lake
a small round lake in the woods
next to it is a rock face, and
up top there´s a lean-to shelter
Here´s the lake
it´s a pond, the water
doesn´t flow up or down from here
there´s the rock
it´s a long rock formation
on top of it there´s a campsite with a shelter
let´s go and see it
All the shelters here have a personal look
they are designed by architects
so the shelters look quite different
if I remember correctly there was three different architects that designed these
I´m told they are all outdoors people too
so they know these things
Here´s the rock edge we looked at from below
When I first visited this place, there was only a
crude shelter here, and the ground wasn´t worn like now
it shows that a lot of people come here
Here is a little historical site
there´s not much to see actually, but
there´s a story involved
there is a boulder in the woods here,
not very unusual in itself, but
it is said that back in the day, it was too far to go to church from these parts
some local people would gather here at this rock
for church ceremony
so that is the notable thing here
if you don´t know the story, the rock itself isn´t much of an attraction
To me it sounds somewhat crazy, that
people couldn´t go all the way to the church
and since christianity was resisted
in Finland, especially in the inland areas
even up to the 1940´s there was a lot of
belief and habits still towards the old pagan religion,
it wouldn´t surprise me if
this place was actually a
holy site for the old gods, rather than the new
the "imported religion"
Thats a huge and very old pine tree
this is the oldest forest of the area
there are many trees like this, hundreds of years old
Let´s end this trip here
these kind of small trips to the near woods are awesome
the nearby woods are more important than some wilderness a 1000 kilometres away
I can do this kind of trips easily and often
Going further away, I need more time
Thanks for the company, we´ll see in the next one!
