    I generally regard Finns as tough resilient people, but van life in northern Finland is something else entirely. Much respect.

    I love how real you two are and actually show real life in a van. Not the glamorous bs you see all of RUclips.
    BTW that climbing gym looks awesome! I did winters like this for 3 years in Boulder, CO. I'm now in a truck camper.
