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!

NOTE: Time is Eastern European Summer Time (EEST)
I stayed overnight in the Finnish wilderness without a proper sleeping bag and shelter. I slept under the stars in the heat of a big bonfire. I even went fishing! It was -12C and snowy, crazy experience!
Nov. 29 / 8:00 AM
I took my fiance and our dog Kerttu to a luxurious hot tent adventure. It was her first overnight camping trip in the winter. But everything took a horrible turn! It went so badly that I don't want to even reveal it yet... You'll see it from the video :D
Dec. 6 / 8:00 AM
I plan to still go hunting this season. Rabbit is the only animal I can hunt and I haven't caught any yet. I'll most likely spend a night or two in the hot tent and hunt.
Dec. 13 / 8:00 AM
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 in 2025, so 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 comes out in the beginning of 2026
I will build an off-grid cabin in the wilderness of Finland. This will be the longest project ever on my channel (and overall what I've ever built).
I will document the project on my channel and publish videos from all the parts of the build. But don't worry, I'll continue making camping/bushcraft/survival videos as well. So my channel won't form into just "off-grid cabin" stuff.
I've sketched the first drawings and will finalize plans soon. I have already selected the location and will soon go to mark the trees that I'll fell in the beginning of 2026.
An estimated schedule:
11-12/2025: Planning the cabin, selecting the precise location, marking trees that need to be cut down
1-4/2026: Cutting down trees and debarking them to make logs. Piling the logs so that they can dry
6-9/2026: Building an outhouse and the base for the cabin
9-10/2026: Building the frame of the cabin from the logs
10/2026 - 9/2027: The logs will dry slowly. This is a very long process as the logs need to dry almost completely.
9-11/2027: Building the roof and floor
2028: Installing windows, doors, kitchen, stove, off-grid electricity etc. Crafting furniture, storages etc. Building a deck.
2029: Building a Sauna & an outdoor fireplace "laavu"
I will do a giveaway when the channel grows to 50k subscribers! More info coming later ;)
