  • Arctic Post Road film documents the bikepacking adventure of Henna Palosaari and Sami Sauri above the Arctic circle. The Arctic Post Road bikepacking route follows the remnants of the old Copenhagen-Alta post road starting from the fells of Pallas-Ylläs national park in Finnish Lapland and runs through the Finnmark highlands all the way to Alta on the Arctic Ocean.
    The route crosses a wilderness area that is three times the size of Belgium and one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Europe . This gravel bikepacking film showcases the beauty and harshness of the area.

    I went to Alta two months ago and there was a man who cycled from Lisbon to Nordkapp. He was 4 months on his way. Then there was this girl who was from Slovenia and she cycled from Helsinki to Nordkapp. They met there and started talking and I believe they later left together.

    That is an outstanding and beautiful movie. I have been truly amazed. A fantastic adventure, the one I have been dreaming for some time now. I do cycle every day, in London, I commute to and back from the office, more or less 30 km daily and always have this wish to be able to do it without all those cars, trucks, traffic, green, red lights … it must have been an amazing experience for you Henna and Sami. Thank you for uploading this movie.

      @@mpkarlin It's not easy filming a cycling adventure. Great first attempt! - How did you keep up with the riders in such remote conditions? Were you on a bike too? And how long did the edit take, it's beautifully done.

      The film was awesome! Thank you for sharing it. I would've liked to see more of the norwegian side of the trip but was glad to see parts of the route to Näkkälä because we had to skip it due to issues with my bike and that part of the route was in extremely bad condition in July.
      We rode the mountain bike route in July 2022 and made a film as well (1h 30min) of our journey. I'm not a professional in editing and it shows. 😀 Our gear was two cheap-ish fatbikes loaded with food for the whole week and gear for possible weather changes in the highlands. Our bikes weighed about 40kg's per bike and that made the uphills unnecessarily brutal.

      Repent of sin and Trust in Jesus!
      John 14:6
      6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
      Matthew 7:13-23
      13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
      14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
      15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
      16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
      17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
      18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
      19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
      20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
      21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
      22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
      23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
      18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
      19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
      20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
      21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
