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.”

TEIJO 2: FINNISH STATE OF MIND

”Hey, there are some people coming.” //
”Good afternoon! There’s room for you in the lean-to, do come in.” //
”Yeah, we have a tent so you can have the lean-to all for yourselves for the night.” //
”Maybe we… could go to the southern lean-to to see if there’s anyone there…” ”Yes…” //
”Don’t worry, we won’t take it personally if you decide to stay there for the night…” //
”…you see, we already went to the lean-to a mile up north but there were people there so we came back here!” ”Hah!” ”Haha!”

REPOVESI 3: FEEL THE WAY

”You know how in weather forecasts they say things like…” //
”…’Temperature +6 °C… feels like +4 °C’.” //
”Yes.” ”So?” //
”So in hiking maps it should say…” //
”…’Distance 4.8 km… feels like 6.2 km’.”

REPOVESI 2: HALF-NAKED HIKER

”Hey, could we take a little break? I’m so hot.” //
”I need to take my woolen pants off.” ”Yeah, go ahead.” //
”Someone’s coming.” ”Let them come.” //
”Greetings.” ”Hello.” ”If the haven’t seen a woman without trousers by now it’s high time for it!”

REPOVESI 1: AND MY AXE!

I went to Repovesi (”Fox Lake”) national park for a weekend with a couple of friends. There! //
”I suppose we need to make more firewood.” ”Yeah.” //
”Well this saw doesn’t help much!” //
”Is there an axe here?” ”Check from the shed.” //
”Oh.” //
”! This axe practically doesn’t have a blade at all!” A good axe / This axe

”You know how every time someone teaches you how to use an axe, they are like…” //
”You don’t need force when chopping firewood, but technique and skill!” //
”Well, with this axe you don’t require technique and skill but…” //
FORCE AND VIOLENCE!!! //
”You’ve made a fine pile of firewood!” ”Yes, we have.”

ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOMS

”I can’t do this! There are too many of them!” ”You don’t have to pick all those mushrooms…”
