”I organized a winter camping trip after New Year. There were eight of us crazy people on that trip. This time the destination was Salla.” We went there! //
”Did you order a minibus taxi?” ”With this amount of stuff I sure did.” //
”That is definitely not a minibus.” ”Oh for #@*%!!!” //
”If we miss our train now our trip will end before it started!” //
”Hey, I got us a minibus taxi from another taxi company!” //
”Phew, luckily we made it here in time.” ”I’m gonna send some feedback to a couple of taxi companies now…”
Sock / Pants / Leg warmers / Trousers and shoes / Second layer of trousers / Swiss Army leg warmers //
”Now my legs won’t be cold!” ”But we toes are absolutely freezing…”
”My toes are so freezing.” //
”And I don’t have another pair of socks here in the tent.” //
”Hey! I do have my woolen leg warmers here.” //
If I tie the hems… I can put them in my feet upside down and use them as socks! //
”Much better!” This method is 100% MacGyver approved!
”Ahh. The silence of the wilderness.” //
”Wouwouwouwouwouwouwouwou…” //
Saw saw saw saw… //
Wroooom! //
Tlack! //
”Katiiii! When are we going?” //
”…”
”Hmph. A wood-chopping stand this low is totally useless.” //
”But I don’t have to settle on it…” //
”Ha! This works!” This method is 100% MacGyver approved!
”…did you just take a picture by poking your phone with your nose?” //
”Of course not. There is a physical button for taking a picture.” //
”However… I do change the settings with my nose.”
”Guys. We have a little problem with the toilet.” //
”It hasn’t been emptied in ages so we are soon facing the danger of a so-called butt-touch.” //
”We can use the toilet on the other side of the pond.” ”True. But it’s pretty far away.” //
”Or we can take this stick to the toilet. And after doing their business everyone can use the stick to move their business to the side to prevent a mountain from forming.” //
”That is also true.” ”It’d probably work.” //
This method is 100% MacGyver approved! ”Why do your readers need to know this?” ”Because it works!” ”It’s also literally a shit innovation.”
”Hey Temmi, could you sweep the tent heater please?” ”Sure thing!” //
… //
”What?” //
”I’m trying to give you a thumbs-up but it really doesn’t work with these mittens!”
”Washing your hands in snow-covered woods isn’t easy. But it would be really nice to wash your hands every now and then.” //
”You can make your own hand-washing ”tap” using drinking water…” //
”…but don’t swallow it!” //
”Ta-dah!” //
This method is 90% MacGyver approved! ”What, only 90%?” ”Well it works but, I mean, it is a bit disgusting.”
”Here you are.” ”Eek! Put off your light, please!” //
”Okay.” //
”It’s nice to be in the dark.” ”Yes, it is.” //
Flash! //
”Aaaah!” ”Who the devil invented ski track lights?!” //
”Run! Escape!” ”Yes! Back to the darkness of the forest!”
”I’m terribly thirsty! And I don’t have a water bottle in the tent!” //
”Wait a minute. I’m surrounded by millions of liters of water!” /
”Nomnomnom, good snow!” //
”Oh no! I am not MacGyver approving this!”
”Some people ask me why I do this. Go to the woods, I mean. I think it’s a good question.” //
”Because it’s sometimes quite terrible to be at nature’s mercy. You’re cold and hungry and tired and pissed.” //
”And sometimes there are stars, northern lights, sunsets and Siberian jays. On the other hand, though…” //
In the city your life depends too much on whether or not some bureau stamps your document or not. //
In the wilderness you can do something yourself to the fact that you’re cold. You need no stamps – just get up and do it! //
”Yes. Problems are tangible and you can decide how to solve them. Of course you can choose to stay crying in the snow…” //
…or you can choose to make pizza in the tent, like Julia’s Big Brother did. I mean, that was pretty awesome.
”Kujkujkuj!” ”Hello to you too, friend!”
”I haven’t washed my hair in a week and I’ve been wearing a beanie all that time.” //
”Much better!”
Mainintana: tämä on toistaiseksi pisin sarjispostaukseni! Tavaraahan tässä olisi ollut useampaankin postaukseen, mutta menköön nyt näin.
Note: this is my longest comic post so far! Here’s obviously enough stuff for more than one post but let’s go with just one now.
