This episode was so fun to edit because of the amount of excitement we had there! I really hope I managed to show it thru the video as well :)
Too bad they didn't use Hilleberg tents which are designed in Sweden and made in Estonia.
Excellent video! Your excitement was contagious! It must have felt like a dream...lol!
@@Boodieman72 I was thinking the same thing....but then again, the Fjällräven tents look like a copy of the Hilleberg tents ( lets hope they copied them well ;-)
So very much awesomeness
Babuka is our മുത്ത് 💪💪💪💪
Babz is our മുത്ത്... 😘😘😘
What a wonderful, fun challenge.
I have found that the best way for me to condition my leather gloves is to put them both on and apply the oil or balm as if I were putting lotion on my hands and massaging it well into my skin. That way it all goes into the leather and not into a rag or my hands.
Oh wow, that is smart. Well, next time I'll definitely do it like that!
Haha, when you talked about all the gear looking the same and then showed the shot of everybody taking out their backpacks from the bus I had a flashback to military service where all the gear also looks the same so the only way to find your stuff is to look for name tags :) And yes, things still did get mixed up, especially in tents.
Rebasepoiss Same for me when I was in the Army.
And now I understand why all the military gear has always those name tags on 😃
Superb vdo, gr8 to know Babz from India scored the most.I want his id of any contact please or his youtube channel if any...🙏
Very nice video. I noticed you were so happy you almost cried at the beginning, that was beautiful. You were issued a very nice kit. I'm always amazed at how much lighter the cold weather gear is now compared to the gear I was issued in the army. Our gear was mainly cloth, with some wool and later on synthesis were slowly intergrated. But one thing is for sure, no matter what the gear was made of, it was all bulky and heavy! I'm so happy they out fitted you so well.
I have also used some army gear items in winter time and oh boy are they heavy! But I guess they are many times more durable as well compared to the lighter stuff. So you win in one area and lose in the other :)
@@MaiuLunekund I much prefer your kit, the only exception is that I love my wool shirts and pants
yup, army gear is still heavy in this day because it's cost limited
i'd like to know more about the jackets: 2 layers, was it?
You are having a blast. Stay warm. And "Hang On!"
well perfect sorry

welcome to Santa Fe
OMG that is a ton of gear.. Well done!!! OMG that is a lot of layers too... Yea just put your mark on every thing and ENJOY! looks like when it is all over .. your next hike in Estonia will be easy.. wow.. i am impressed. that is a cool painting of the blue jackets.... you should photograph the painting with the correct technique for photographing paintings and then in photo shop make any corrections needed (white balance ECT, you'll be looking at your work under a microscope so to speak) Then print them on the appropriate paper. i use a Epson 4880 and i can tell you that you cant tell the difference from the original. and because you use the full frame to shoot the painting, you can blow them up to 13 in x19 in or what ever size you want with absolutely no degradation. that is just in case you want to make some of those really really nice painting as presents to your team mates... what a great experience you are having, live it to the fullest, allow it to expand your mind, you are going to come away completely (Bad @$$) changed in the best way... Oh yea Dogs.. so awesome... you have a dog so it will be easy for you .. thank you for sharing what you do J
Given, "gifted with" is not really English, gift is a noun, give is a verb. Gifted is an adjective 💚
Okay, got it. How would you say if I want to express that something was given to me as a gift? Like "give" isn't always a sign of a gift. "We were given the gift of seeing..." maybe? Ps, love this language lesson! 😊
so exciting. In winter I wear all those layers when I go out to do farm chores but when I was a child I wore much fewer layers and getting cold was just not something I remember with the exception of getting frostbite on my feet from staying out sledding too long. Every few years I buy a new winter coat and get as excited as you with your new coat. A good coat is like being in a warm safe room while being out in the frigid air.
Amazing video!! I look forward to the next one

Baboooka 🎊
Was this the trip thing I voted you for way back?!
Yes, that's the trip!
You are SO lucky to have lived such a fantastic experience. That's absolutely incredible and so much fun form sure. You manage well! Enjoy!
What was this wonderful and mysterious adventure?? Was this a class you took or were you asked to participate in this training?? What was this and how did it come about?? Tell us all about it, please. What fun!! Best wishes.......... Ax
It was Fjällräven Polar 2019, a trip I applied to at the end of last year. I had to collect internet votes to get there and with the help of everyone I won the place to participate! There were 25 other participants all over the world and as many of them do not have experience with snow they did proper training to us starting with classes and all :)
I did find the video you had made earlier talking about the class. Wow!! Good for you and the other winners. I hope you can tell and/or show us more of that adventure. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Looked like so much fun!! Best wishes.... Ax
What an adventure you are having! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Best thing to watch on the internet so far..!
😯😊❤
Wow !! It seems I have missed a few videos.... And Maiu is on .."Adventure Overload"...I am not familiar with these types of events,,what an awesome opportunity you have discovered... I'm sure you had an awesome time.. .... I have seen a few of these but somehow not all....I have some catching up to do...
Thank you for taking us along, and for doing all the work of preparing & posting the videos.
Thank you for watching!
WOW! Maiu .. Super 👍😊.
Yep, getting new gear is for me too, always exciting .. one cannot wait to go out and try it 😊.
All that stuff 😳 .. reminds me of my induction into the Military and the first equipment issue (HOW .. in Heaven's Nam .. am I going to carry all of that 😳😁).
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy .. I get excited (and a wee bit envious, if I may) watching you and your fellow Adventurere on this Challenge.
Am looking forward to your next posting .. take care and stay warm 🐧😊.
To be young again. A lot of people think I have done a lot of backpacking an I have seen a lot places but I always want to see what is around the next been in the trail. There is always a next been in the trail that I can not see around then I must stop an go back to where I came from. I thank God for all the places I have seen. Love watching your channel keep up the good work.
I know I’m echoing previous comments....but...This is so awesome and ur excitement is palpable!! Stay warm and safe!!
I have enjoyed watching mostly all your videos. Have giving me good ideas and tips. You always positiv and smiling in your videos. Thanks again. 🍾⚘
This was a really great video to watch so jealous of all your awesome gear. It was great to see the whole process and the training you received must have been an amazing experience.
Maiu, thank you dear for this beautifully filmed video. I know that this is a very memorable occasion for you. How exciting to be in such a beautiful country. I am sure that you learned a lot. Remember, hold on. :- ) Be safe out there. 🤗
Amazing video,, beautifully done 👌👌❤️❤️
Wow. What an amazing adventure. You're an absolute hero for doing this. 🐕🐕
Watched the first 2 videos so far, and this appears to be one hell of a lifetime adventure! Thank you for sharing.
What an exciting adventure. I´m looking forward to the next episode. 😊👍🏻
You did show it! This is so exciting. What a wonderful experience this is!
So much joy and excitement, the expectation and anticipation builds!!
Fjallraven is very, very good quality. Currently, I have shorts and pants, but I am interested in those base-layers. I’ll have to check them out.
The base layer was pretty amazing!
You were just 100 km southwest of my area! Winter is fun, but there are a lot of good hiking trails in the summer too.
I can imagine how beautiful it looks there in summer time 😊
What a precious experience!
mushing is a popular winter activity in the colder states here in the US. You may want to connect with mushers when you get back home and consider building up a beginner team. The dogs are not house dogs, they need good sturdy pens and doghouses and lots of fresh raw meat for energy.
Estonia is unfortunately too warm for properly managing a sled-dog team. Too little snow time in the winter :( Although I now there are some farms that do have sled dogs and they offer rides in winter time. So its possible.
What’s happening here? What’s the goal? It looks like really great fun I’m not sure why we’re doing it... is there a cause?
No real cause. Fjällräven Polar is a yearly event organized på Fjälräven where a group of people from around the world is invited to participate. It's a combination of marketing and giving back to the community and peeking peoples interest in the outdoors.
See polar.fjallraven.com/ for info.
Patrik said it very well. Basically it is a marketing event. Fjällräven says that everyone can survive and thrive in the cold with the right gear. But instead of big traditional campaigns they throw all the money towards the event and offer 20+ people every year to experience this arctic climate with the right clothing.
Amazing...waiting for next part...
This is getting exciting, I need to make sure I have extra butter for my popcorn 🍿 as I watch your adventures. You have a cool roommate.
Siri was awesome :) and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the videos!
I am so excited to see where this adventure takes you. I want to see more. Thanks for posting this video. I hope you have a GREAT time. Keep them coming.
I will! Working on the next one already ;)
Once you have all that winter gear on, it's tempting to try to find a way to leave it on until spring.
It looked like you created a boot pit and a cooking shelf in the tent vestibule. Those are great conveniences when you have enough snow depth for them. I usually make the pit just wide enough for my feet so I don't have to lean over too far to cook.
Making a smaller vestibule actually makes sense, I didn't think of that. But we did not use our stoves in the tent as we weren't so comfortable with them and we did't want to burn a hole in it :D But I did store my stuff on the "shelf" and it would have been nice if it would have been closer to the inner door of the tent.
wow so many layers! :D ;D
What an awesome experience :)
That was spectacular.
Wow. all that gear!
Love!
This has to be the coolest video I have seen on RUclips ! I can’t wait for the rest of them.
Ahh, thank you 😊😊😊
Wow!
