Padawan

Tämä ei kerro kenestäkään tietystä henkilöstä, vaan useista. He tietänevät itse, keitä ovat.
This doesn’t tell about one single person but about many. I guess they know themselves who they are.


”Once upon a time there was this kid on my camp. I took care of them when they were home-sick.” ”Bohoo!” ”It’s gonna be okay.” //
Said kid later came to many camps… ”Hi Kati!” ”Hi!” //
…until finally they became a camp instructor on camps I led. //
And now they are my leader. ”Kati, can you take care of this please?” ”Okay!” ”And could you two do this?” ”Sure!” //
”And… They’re really good at it.” //
”Is this how you guys feel when your Padawans become Jedi Masters?” ”Pretty much yeah.” ”For eight hundred years done this I have, and just as weird every time it is.”

Arkku

COFFIN

Arkuttaa: maata jossain lepäämässä, aivot pois päältä
To coffin: lie down somewhere with your brain shut down


”Yeah I can’t do this anymore.” //
”Hey camp leader, can I go and coffin for a while?” ”Sure, go ahead!” //
”Not good.” //
”Not good.” //
”Not good!” //
”Phew! Not good.” //
”This is good.”

Mitä isompi vika, sen suurempi leka

THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER YOU HIT THEM

”Where are you going, Kati?” ”To clean up the toilets.” //
”With an axe and a hammer?” ”Yes.”

Minulla oli oikeasti hyvä syy ottaa työkalut mukaan vessansiivousreissulle…
I actually had a good reason to take tools along when going to clean the toilets…

FROM THE MOUTH OF CAMP KIDS…

”Kati?” ”Yes?” ”Do you have kids?” //
”No, I don’t. You 29 are quite enough for me.” //
”Why didn’t you ever get kids of your own?” //
”Heyheyhey! I’m not too old enough for it yet!”

#FREETIP

”Hey camp instructor, I can’t find my tooth brush.” //
”Here’s a free tip: look better.” //
”Hey camp instructor, I did as you said and looked better!” //
”That was the best tip ever! I’m always gonna use it from now on.”

Salamajärvi


I spent New Year in a hut near Salamajärvi national park with Snowhorse and Temmi. Over there! //
There was a hiking path going past our hut. //
”Some hiker just passed by our hut. They were very polite. Didn’t say anything to me.” #onlyfinnishthings


”I wonder if these are wolverine tracks?” ”Probably.” //
”Hmm.” //
Sniff //
Lick lick //
”Yeah, they’re wolverine tracks.” //
”Dude.” ”A biologist uses all their senses!”


”I’ll be back.” ”My horse is gettin’ tired.” //
”Come with me if you want to live.” //
”Get to the chopeeeerrr!!!” //
”Talk to the hand.” ”Hasta la vista, baby.” //
”Why are we standing naked in the sauna dressing room in the middle of a forest yelling Schwazenegger one liners?” ”I don’t know. But I wouldn’t change a minute of it to anything.”


”Look!” ”A winter spider!” //
”Long-tailed tits!” ”Adorable!” //
”Whee, a crested tit!” //
”Now there’s someone in the river.” //
”It’s an otter!” <3 <3 <3

PAJAMA PANTS

Summer camp’s hut trip in 2017. ”Put your pajamas on, kids, it’s time to go to sleep.” //
”Don’t you have pajama pants, Kati?” //
”I do, but my sleeping bag is so warm I don’t need them. But my pajama pants are the best.” //
”Are they like – like white with white unicorns – ” //
” – that have rainbow-colored manes and pink horns and they fly with their sparkling wings?!?” //
”…no… But they’re pink with pictures of Darth Vader.” //
”But what you just described would be pretty awesome as well.”

TEIJO 4: REVENGE OF THE PATH

”Do you know, Kati, why the river is flooding and the path is unusable?” ”Probably because it rained so much last night.” //
”No, it’s your fault.” ”How come?” //
”Yesterday you complained that the terrain was too easy to travel.” ”Karma, you see.” ”Really?” //
”On the other hand… At least travelling is interesting enough now.”

TEIJO 3: THE END OF THE WORLD

”Morning, friends, it’s seven o’clock.” ”Unnghh…” //
”It’s so dark outside.” //
”Maybe the rest of the world has disappeared and we’re the only ones left.” //
”~~~~~~~~~~~~~” ”~~~~~~~~” //
”Judging from the sounds the guys sleeping in the lean-on still exist.” //
”Neh. That was just echoes from the end of the universe.”
