The grouse hunting season is soon ending in Finland. To celebrate the great memories of the meditative trips in the Northern forests, I will publish a few photos from the trips made into the silent solitude. Spending time alone in … Continue reading
A Finnish proverb says that years are not brothers. The past autumn was rainy and the weather was awful. Currently I’m waiting for a better winter, a couple of times we already had nice snowy sights around here. Currently it … Continue reading
Remember the wild boars visiting our yard frequently? A few days earlier I locked myself out of my workshop. I was deep in my thoughts as I stepped down the stairs. Then I raised my eyes and saw a couple of … Continue reading
The frequency of updating my blog decreases constantly đ There are two main reasons for this: 1) I have finally made a functional prototype of a device which commercial value feels limitless, at least I really hope so. But I don’t say … Continue reading
Hello folks! What a surprise, it has been a long time since I previously updated my blog; I think this starts to be a new tradition rather than anomaly nowadays. Well, time has gone so fast. I have worked like a … Continue reading
Hello folks! It has been a while since I last time updated my blog. That’s because I have been super busy in my scientific career – I have done too many 12h days at work lately. Well, today I have … Continue reading
At this time of year, I always ask the same question for myself. Is there life after the grouse season? Hunting is not only a hobby for me, it is a way of life. All the lonely adventures I’ve spent in the … Continue reading
The grouse hunting season is almost over, but the shy birds are still quiet. Again, I made a trip into the loneliness, but didn’t catch any birds. The weather is odd nowadays, it is warm and moist, and birds behave … Continue reading
After a while, I would like to update my blog again. I haven’t done nothing super special in meanwhile, just crazy random stuff as usual đ I wish the autumn could last a little bit longer, because it somehow resembles the autumns … Continue reading
Hello there ladies and chaps! I already said good bye to short and warm Finnish summer, but just spent a few really sunny days in a forest. I took my recurve bow and shotgun with me, slept under my lean-to, goggled … Continue reading
Phew! Once again, I have had a lot of activities lately, why I haven’t write much. That is why I have a big bunch of new photos to show you. The warm summer finally came to Finland, and we managed … Continue reading
Hello! Today I was hungry, again, and by chance had quite nice ingredients to prepare a delicious blue mussel pasta dish. As a dessert, I made myself a quick ice coffee drink, a simple recipe I usually apply to cooled … Continue reading
Finally, here it is, the video compilation of my last hiking and hunting trip to the loneliness, made in the end of the grouse season 2014. Let the video speak for itself, enjoy! đ Music by: Heliograph (Chris Zabriskie) / … Continue reading
It’s finally here! The grouse hunting season 2014 has already started, and I’m really excited đ Now I can hike with my Winchester rifle, no one asks where I’m going to, I can stay and sleep wherever I want, and I … Continue reading
In day before yesterday, it was quite late again when I finally took my hunting gears and headed to north. Our hunting club has two distinct hunting areas, and I have almost always used the southern one. The norther one is … Continue reading
Phew! It has been a hot weekend. I went to Central Finland for searching some lyly, reaction wood in other words. As said in the previous bow post, I found out that I should use ropes stronger than nylon for cabling … Continue reading
Hello! I believe the title is quite informative, especially if it is boosted with a couple of photos. So, what else should I say, enjoy the photos!
First of all, I changed the names of my “Traditional Bow Project” posts to “DIY Bow Project”. It is somewhat misleading to call my bow project “Traditional” as I’m using nylon cabling instead of sinew, cutting large windows into my bows etc. … Continue reading
My gf and I decided to spend the midsummer 2014 in the Archipelago Sea, like we did during the last year. Unfortunately, according the weather forecast, the coming weather should be awful. Luckily, my kind parents-in-law let us to borrow … Continue reading
Yesterday, I took the wings and legs of the wood grouse shot during the previous autumn, out of the freezer. I managed to invent a good recipe for making the bird really tender! First, like always, take your gun, seek … Continue reading
