Kupilka composite material Kareline, from manufacturer's site: Kareline is produced from coniferous pulp and plastics suitable for foodstuffs, both with share of 50 percent. The material can be formed freely using a so called injection molding technique. The products resemble wood closely. It can be dyed to almost any color. The material can also be welded. There is no need to use glue in the production. After use the product can be safely disposed by, for example, burning.

Definitely recommend SuperLight tarp. We have used it for years alongside the tent (as rain shelter). Works well and is dureable enough for week long trekking in Lapland, at least.

@mattimatkalainen Год назад

Rainproof mittens...did not know those excisted. Had to order a pair because I have often nearly freexed my fingers off bicycling in spring and autum chilling rain.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Good point about cycling, will definitely use those mittens for that as well.

@LBPiggy Год назад

My personal favorite gear that I own for people in Finland looking for a good, but cheap tarp. Motonet's Woodlander 3m x 3m tarp is excellent product for the price (29€). It is surprisingly durable and waterproof. Though it has lackluster guidelines, few stake out points and cheap stakes, but you can make do with these shortcomings. And its rather bulky, but not bad (about the same size as DD Hammock in the video). Used it now for 3 years and haven't had a issue.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

I haven’t had much luck with those types of tarps (no experiences with that specific model though). For me the grommets seem to always fail. They are cheap and waterproof though , that’s for sure.

@pissman69 Год назад

got a trifecta thanks to your vid on 2go systems, good bit of kit man. recently sold my hill people gear SAR kit bag, it was amazing but the UK is not remote enough to be running round with a big Multicam chest rig, people are so weird about it. my slightly smaller green one is fine though. weirdos man

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

I totally know what you mean. People have asked “are you from the military” when the only camo gear I have is my jacket - and that isn’t even in the Finnish M05 camo!

@trikyy7238 Год назад

Nice content! Ever considered draping the entire sofa in camo XD

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Tempting...😅😅

@larrysheedy4293 Год назад

Smitten for mittens. I have a similar pair from Decathlon.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Come in handy, heh

@artofstormdancing3319 Год назад

Itse tykkään ruostamattomasta teräksestä retkikäytössä, painaa enemmän mutta on aika lailla pomminvarmaa. Minulla on MSR:n Alpine Stowaway Pot (775ml) ja sinne sisään mahtuu juuri sopivasti Trangian pieni kahvipannu. Sen sisälle sitten Trangian keitin. Itse kun keittelen noita kaupan pasta-aterioita niin on sitten erikseen kahvivesimahdollisuus... Kupilkan pitkävartinen luha on muuten erinomainen jos syö noita pussiruokia, riittää hyvin vartta. On myös kevyt eikä raavi inhottavasti metallisia kattiloita.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Eipä se rinkan kokonaispainossa paljoa tunnu onko yksi kippo titaania vai terästä, näihän se on. Kupilkan lusikka on ihan kätevä joo, mutta itse syön yleensä Tactical Foodpacking ruokia ja niissä se pussi on fiksusti leveä eikä syvä, niin voi käyttää normaalin mittaista lusikkaa. Monesti itsellänikin mukana erikseen kahvipannu 👍

I discovered your channel today, watching all the videos from morning till late evening. Non-stop. I enjoy your content, really. I love your backpacking gear choices - not lightweight but sturdy and with function. Learnt a lot today! Thank you! Greetings from Latvia! 🟥⬜🟥 P.S. Found you by searching trails in Filand for one day to hike

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

That’s great to hear, thanks! Planning a hike in Finland then?

@strubergsm Год назад

@@TaivalOutdoors Yes, definitely! It will only be around autumn due to a foot injury, but after a recovery a good hike around Finland would be great!

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

@@strubergsm It's a great time of the year to go on a hike 👍

@thebeardprevails5246 Год назад

The dry bags tip is great. I've recently started using them (no valve) in my earthquake kit to get the volume of clothing and shelter items down. I don't think the valve is strictly necessary but it would certainly be easier.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Not the sexiest bit of gear, but very useful.

@trikyy7238 Год назад

The trick has been around as long as we've had plastic garbage bags!

@thebeardprevails5246 Год назад

@@trikyy7238 The dry bags are a bit more durable and there's a neat little bonus when you have more than one, you can use them for dedicated water collection/storage. Pick one colour bag to pull water out of a stream or pond, and then pass through filtration/boiling in to another colour for dedicated clean water bags.

@trikyy7238 Год назад

Yeah, I know, it's just an old trick. I use dry bags now, too.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

@@trikyy7238 Lining your backpack with a trashbag is indeed something we used to do in the military over a decade a go. However the main point of using these drybags for me is the compressibility which normal garbage bags lack.

@MrCastleJohnny Год назад

Hyvä video taas. Hei, Eikö tule reikiä tarppiin kun taitat sen allesi ground sheetiksi , kuten tuossa yhdessä kuvassa? vai laitatko jotain pehmikettä alle? ehkä olen itse hysteerinen puhkeamisen/hajoamisen suhteen kun varmasti itselläni joku huomaamaton käpy/kivi tulisi läpi siitä=D

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Itse asiassa laitan sen maahan monesti juuri siksi, että se suojaisi ilmatäytteistä makuualustaa puhkeamiselta! 😁 Ei ole ensimmäistäkään reikää tarpissa, tosi hyvin kestänyt.

@soolo22 Год назад

Hyvä video. Mulla on tuo DD kevyt tarppi. Ostin sen koska se on 1/3 tuon sun tarpin koosta. En ole mikään kevyt retkeilijä, mutta pyrin aina ostamaan sen version tuotteesta, mikä pakkautuu pienempään. Tuo kriteeri on ehkä kaikkein suurin mun tarvikkeissa.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

Enpä tuota ajatellutkaan että pakkautuu noin pieneen, mutta niinhän tuo näyttää tekevän. Itselläni tuo tarppi aina rinkan pohjalla lättänänä, niin ei ole koko haitannut. Onko hyvin kestänyt vaikka onkin kevyempää materiaalia?

@soolo22 Год назад

@@TaivalOutdoors Mulla ei ole kestävyyden kanssa ollut mitään ongelmia, vahvat kiinnitysluupit ja ripstop kangasta, tosi ihan kauheissa myrskyissä tai syyspuhureissa en ole tarppia käyttänyt. jos muistan oikein niin 3000 pilariarvo veelle. On tuo niin ohutta, että automaattisesti varoo oksia sun muita kun katetta pystyttelee.

@NedStark1000 Год назад

Is your titanium pot still like new one from inside after all these years? Mine has some spots there due overheating but I think it can still be used? I have tried to clean it with all known methods.

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

A little bit of coloring but nothing that would prevent from using it 👍

@KlausKallo Год назад

Was there a flashlight? and greets from Taipalsaari ;)

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

For the past few years I've been using Lumonite flashlights for camping. Durable metal construction and USB rechargeable. Right now Lumonite Vector is my go-to. DJ Komposti 😎

@mlsauron Год назад

What about all the gear when you are by the fire, during winter? I got a bunch of holes in some gear, apparel

@TaivalOutdoors Год назад

I have maybe two holes in one jacket, but that's why I use my heavy luhka to cover me these days when by the fire in the winter. Haven't had issues with other gear yet.

@EiAinaVoi 10 месяцев назад

Risukeitin ja trangian sprii-poltin on hyvä kombo. Itsellä on savotan happy stove. Voi valita käyttääkö risuja vai tenua, ja etenkin talvikäytössä tuo on hyvä, koska aavistuksen suljetumman tilan ansiosta polttoaine lämpenee ja tehoja saa suunnilleen saman kuin kesäkäytössä.

@TaivalOutdoors 10 месяцев назад

Tuo Trangia Triangle toimii hyvinkin pitkälti samalla periaatteella, mutta on vain pienempi ja kevyempi. Ja ei sellaisenaan toki sovellu kovin hyvin risukeittimeksi.
