For me the Inreach with ability to send messages about my progress, changes in my route etc. to my family is great. Having a satellite phone would be excellent but since I dont have a business with paying customers it is a bit too expensive. I do however also bring a vhf/uhf radio programmed with common channels for shorter range communication If travelling in a group and possible emergency communication with rescue services that have ability to communicate on VHF ch 16. I also keep a few radios with family at home and in my car so that they can bring them to communicate if they have to come out and help me tow a snowmobile or locate me even if they have my gps position. /Jonas
I also like Inreach, and I rent it for the time I need it, then I don't need to pay an expensive subscription, plus I get the model that I need for a specific trip. I also love the feeling of not having to own yet another gadget that will be out of date/out of service in a few years.
Hey Matti! It was such an unforgettable experience and so much fun to be out with you this week! We also hope we will see us again soon. Stay safe and healthy!
Stopping, Waiting and changing plans, routes, directions or schedules are successes- a testament to solid planning and conscious preparation. Without proper preparations and on-site awareness, this would otherwise put you in even worse conditions. Great video Matti.
Excellent video, with great advice. Brings back many memories of when I guided sled dog winter camping trips here in northeastern Minnesota. I still have sled dogs, but now just for the shear joy of running them and living with them. Thank you for your videos!
Absolutely loved the production value in this video . . such a mix of drone stuff . .pov of the dogs . . scenery . . Along with some fab safety hints and tips. .Top job Matti
Thanks for this very important video! Tromsø, Norway, 69 degrees north. I use Garmin iNreach for SMS/mail communication via the iridium network. Works very reliable and good. I know people who wouldn't be alive without this device. Instead of using garmin's built in weather forecast, I ask my family for text based forecast for my position from yr.no - same weather service as you use, Matti. Very reliable for my use. The SPOT devices use a satelite network with much less reliable coverage up here, but SPOTs have still saved lives in this area. Keep up the good work, Matti and Stina! Tusen takk!
I carry a PLB on my hikes but the problem is if i lose consciousness i can not press the button. A Garmin Inreach can be monitored by someone else at home, if you stop moving for hours or days or if you don't send a message according to a pre made up plan they can call for help.
Wow, this was an incredible video, great scenery, great advice. You have skill when you can talk to a camera and control a dog sled team at the same time! If you haven't done a video on skis and how to use them in this terrain, that would be helpful too, thank you :)
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Great. Seen some bad weather in spring storms ladt week up north. Hurricane force winds and blizzard conditions. 80F tommorow here in East Kentucky USA. Wild flowers blooming my orchard as well
You do bring value, Matti. I look forward to your vids. Incredible photography, too. Do you use a drone to get those overhead shots? Very professional-looking scenes.
We use Zoleo SOS emergency device. Uses satellite or cell signal if available . Wish we had the infrastructure you have, from trail marking to cabins etc. Lot less infrastructure in our neck of the woods. Great video and happy trails.
That’s one reason why I just want 4 guests. It’s sometimes difficult to know what is going on in the back. You just have to stop regular and check. We also avoid the worst weather. /Matti
Hi, great video, thanks. I was wondering whether Sweden had laavu like in Finland. I snowshoe-pulka and really like that laavu culture they have over there, and if you had them too I could see myself in those sceneries you showed here.
Very good video, thanks a lot. I would be interested by a video about camera in cold weather, how do you proceed to make your vids and how do you deal with the cold to prevent your camera of malfunctions.
I have made a video about camera gear in cold weather. It’s in our channel if you check the videos from the last month or something like that. :-) /Matti

That’s a good idea with the radio. …and I totally agree about the communication with satellite devices. It really changed the game.

Fin video! Viktigt ämne o mkt vackra vyer! Att vara dålig på att äta/dricka när man blir trött kan jag erkänna mig skyldig till 😉
Det är så lätt att glömma/skippa ätandet!

Hi Matti, better get the runs in pretty soon. Spring is coming at the Circle. Be safe.
We still got another month of dogsledding in front of us!

The contrasts with snow, open water and flowers are a great period!

Hej Matti. Nice to hear again from you. Thank you for the interesting video. Is your leg totally ok again?
Thanks!
My leg is really okay. Sometimes I still feel that something has happened… but most of the time it is just normal.
/Matti
Alltid lika kul att se handlaget med hundarna och hur nöjda de är. Ha det gött.
Tack!
You do bring value, Matti. I look forward to your vids.
Incredible photography, too. Do you use a drone to get those overhead shots?
Very professional-looking scenes.

Yes, I use a small drone from DJI.

Thats really helpful with cabins, trails etc as you mentioned!!! Jokkmokk is a great place.
I will check that type of transmitter. Thanks!

12.08 Weatherbound. How do you know that the sled at the back is still with you?
That’s one reason why I just want 4 guests. It’s sometimes difficult to know what is going on in the back. You just have to stop regular and check.

Bra info Matti ! Hur är snöläget i mitt område? Funderar på åka upp nästa vecka.
Det är fint här. Lite varmt denna veckan men kyla är på ingång!

hej Matti
I just try to keep my fingers and toes LOL....
🤣
Overestimate your own capabilities. 😊
