I live in Finland = I'm a Finn

My name is Risto, and my journey towards YouTube started in 2022 when I received my first outdoor stove as a gift. After that, I started hiking and camping excessively, and in late 2024 I decided to film my first video.

Along the ride, I have shared many memorable adventures, but also my personal life. I have fought with chronic pain this whole time, but being outdoors relieves some of that pain.

My goal is to share the beautiful nature of Finland to the world and encourage others to go outdoors!

I took Oliver from off.grid.island to survive a night below freezing with me, without a sleeping bag or a tent. It was an interesting and fun trip where I show and explain you many bushcraft/survival basics.

Oct. 11 / 8:00 AM

I finally got my hunting lisence and gun permits, so I headed to the wilderness to hunt ducks, geese, and grouse. I spent the night there without a sleeping bag, built a bushcraft shelter and cooked delicious food.

Oct. 18 / 8:00 AM

I went back to the treehouse, continued building it and hunted for hazel grouse nearby. I spent the night in the treehouse and cooked delicious grouse on the hot stove.

Oct. 25 / 8:00 AM

I am going to spend a weekend hunting for grouse with a friend. We will stay in a cabin, go hunting, and cook delicious food.

Nov. 1 / 8:00 AM

I will stay at a remote wilderness hut with nothing else than a bed and a stove in the hut. I'll stay there hunting rabbits, accommodated by experienced rabbit hunters.

Nov. 8 / 8:00 AM

Me and my family are leaving for a holiday to Portugal, spending 5 days there, exploring surroundings and relaxing. I am not 100% sure wether I will film this or just have some free time but we'll se :)

I will participate in a survival bootcamp held by a Finnish professional over 3 weekends. Each of the weekends focuses on different topics, starting from the basics and building up. I will make a 3-part survival-oriented series of this, teaching you on the go.

NOTE: The 2nd and 3rd courses got cancelled as so many participants cancelled. I will attend them in 2026

Approximate publish dates:

1st episode: Aug 30 (ready)

2nd episode: Summer 2026

3rd episode: Summer 2026

My sister is raising sheep and I am helping her, so I will film and document the whole process of building a sheep fence, harvesting food for the sheep, raising the sheep, and processing them to food.

Video date not sure yet
