    Here we go, I hope you enjoyed this series! The next two videos are going to be from Finland, where I'm going sailing on a tiny dinghy, before we get back to Lumi and Alaska... Thanks for watching!

      Nice series. My dream is for sure not Polar region sailing, but I can see the attraction, all that undisturbed beautiful nature. I am so sorry for your loss! Of drone, that is. You could consider to buy a waterproof one next, that can actually land on water. At least would never sink and be sea trash that way.

      @cozteplitz765 Год назад

      Yes! So glad I found your channel. THIS is exactly what I have been trying to convince my wife, son, and a few friends to do - combining sailing with ski touring (and, in remote places like this, probably some packrafting too). So excited to see you are making it work, and it makes me just want to jump in the boat and sail north! Logistics question - what time of year did you do this? Looks like perhaps springtime - maybe April or May?

    Sorry you lost the drone. You can try adding a foam board to the bottom of the drone so that it can still float if it falls into the sea. After reacquiring the drone, you can soak it in fresh water, remove the salt and dry it. If you have a chance, you can use it again.

    I met a guy who has a yacht, he rigged up a remote control (like literally for model airplanes etc), to his rudder and throttle, so he could be anywhere on the boat (or even on the dock) and control the boat. - very handy for single-handed docking and probably for being your own bow spotter...

    Ever worry about Grizzly Bears.
    I’ve heard Grizzlies find Finns to be delicious!
    And they are extra hungry in the Spring, after a long hibernation.
    Even black bears can be attracted to the smell of shrimp in your dingy and bite a hole in it, leaving you stranded on shore…

    I wanted to second the comment on adding a light weight float to the drone for use over open water. DJI also has an insurance programs where they can analyze if it was the drone’s fault and replace. If it’s floating its way to find it again.

    You remind me of a guy I used to scuba dive with in Aotearoa. He would say "I can't go deeper than 10 metres this morning because I am doing a parachute jump this afternoon.". Scuba diving and skydiving - the guy must have had a death wish. So here you are - solo yachting in testing conditions, with alpine climbing and skiing thrown in. No-one around to pick you up when you fall!

I guess your mileage may very but skirting brambles and brown grizzles is very daring if you ask me. Just saying. You’re the bomb, Juho. Courage personified.
