    IDEAS NEEDED!
    I like my extreme overland trips. Whilst I go for the extreme environment of the Arctic during Winter. What extreme environment could I do in the summer or autumn trip? Maybe the next travel series!? Well before Arctic round 3!
    Comment ideas below!

      Iceland. You know you want to! Book now, using a VPN to put you in Denmark or Iceland and I'm sure you could make the ferry a wee bit more affordable.
      Also, once you're back on the continent, you'll just be another short ferry trip from Norway. What's not to love about that?

    Those winter cover clips are called "maskisuojan kiinnike" in finnish. Most of us replace those with zip ties as they age and get lost every once in a while 😅
    The covers itself are usually made of either harder plastic or closed cell foam here.

    I thought watching that amazing sunset footage that it must've been stressful setting up all those shots before the sun went down.
    I know I've felt that.
    Then I realised that, at that time of year and at that latitude, you probably had all afternoon, including time for tea and scones!

    Steering problem ? always start with fluid condition and level . Then suspect low pressure at the pump until engine revs increase . Then you have various by pass valves in the steer ing rack that may not be working right . Most service centres will want to just replace whole components till the problem is resolved. ...... here is the vehicle back sir all good now the pump and steering rack were faulty !! so we had to replace both . When home do a test with the both front wheels jacked up go from full left to right to see if it still happens with out load . You will also be bleeding the system of air ( if any )

    Awesome trip mate, nice to see places in the different seasons.
    I'm on my way home as we speak (Near Mariestad, Sweden) Got to spend my 56th Birthday at King Oscars chapel and did a few of the places on your trip, purely by chance.
    I want to do a Northern lights trip next year, I won't go right up the top but may aim for the Arctic circle latitude? You've inspired me and the Aurora are still un-ticked off my bucket list😉
    I'm scared to look how much this trip has cost me😬 but a cool adventure, much like yours.
    Thanks for the great footage, and sharing your 'How to videos', your tip's and 'what not to do's' are welcome advice indeed.🙏❤

    Glad you made it though, looking forward to your next winter.
    As for the _power_ steering:
    it’s likely the pump not pumping enough. Checked the fluid level? If that‘s ok, it‘d probably be a new pump.
