Snow and Sunshine on a Christmas Eve hike in SW Finland - Christmas Eve 2022

Hi folks! Here's a short video of a hike I took with my wife and dog to a nearby trail in Turku, SW Finland on Christmas Eve 2022. The weather was beautiful and sunny and the air was crisp and clear. Our original idea was to visit a firepit and lean-to shelter where I had overnighted previously, get a fire going and then grill Finnish sausages or makkara on it. 

Unfortunately, my fire-making skills were not up to par on the day and I couldn't get a fire started. My backup plan was to fry them instead on a Trangia. We enjoyed a nice meal but I didn't film cooking with the Tragia, as I didn't think it would be as interesting as roasting the sausages on sticks. Oh well, perhaps next time!

I hope you enjoy this video. As always, I would encourage everyone to get out and enjoy nature, whatever the time of year. Go on, it's just waiting there for you!

All the best! Moi-moi!
