Literally how is your son so big already!! Just yesterday he was born!!😄😍 this video was so nice to watch! Your family is lovely❣
Aw thank you! And I knoooow I swear he grows 5cm every time he wakes up in the morning! 🥹
not to mention he speaks swedish too @4:25 ..... who taught him that!! the kids gona speak 3 languages before pre school... :P bonkers. now get him a coders kit or something and he can talk to machines too!!
@@DerMacko Swedish is his mother tongue.
Leo has grown up a lot and he is a joy to see. Full of life and chat
I haven't watched your videos in a while, your son has grown so much and he has a lovely English accent 🤧💓 I love camping. It's exhausting and relaxing at the same time haha.
If you want to introduce Leo to camping along other children, many Finnish scout groups (partiolippukunta) have a family scout group (perhepartio). There you gan go together with a child under the age of 7 years. The ones I have heard of don't gather weekly, so it's an easy way to start.
Also the tactical food pack is just that, the bag is made so that you can pour hot water in it and the close the zip to let the food "cook". No dishes to wash.
And about the sleeping bag. If you go to an outdoor store to get a sleeping bag, talk to an employee, they will let you try it so you know you fit in it.
You should get an inflatable mattress for sleeping in the tent.
That would be good. I may invest in one!
Get a proper one with down inside and not just air, they've got much better insulation against cold too. One of those and a good winter sleeping bag worked wonders even in a cave dug in a big pile of snow, one of the best sleeps I've ever had! Maybe something to add onto your list of crazy Finnish things to try if you get a nice snowy winter 😁
@@durabelle No need for the down anymore. Air matresses have been developing a lot. Down inside of mattress is just dead weight.
@@haliputti Cool! Let's just say to get a proper technical one with good insulation properties then, as the cheapest inflatable mattresses are still bad and get cold in outdoor use in Finland.
@@davecad If you're a side sleeper, get a thick one so you avoid sore sides. Btw, seems like you bought the tent and the sleeping bag from the company I work for. I recognized those models instantly. We've got a good selection of sleeping mats. I'd recommend Nemo first, then Exped. Nemo offers life time limited guarantee for theirs. Nemo Quasar (long wide model for you) is a really comfy one.
Ohh man time flies so fast. How on earth is the little guy so big already! Wasn't it like yesterday when you made the video where you told us you were expecting 😂
Tell me about it! It's crazy how time flies!
Your kiddo is adorable! So crazy to see him growing up through your channel! Hope you had a good time out there 🙂
That joy of your son face make me smile.. Remind me my childhood camping trip with mom and dad :)
Aww, Leo's English accent is so adorable! Knowing he only catched it from you. 😍
Loved the video also!
It would be interesting to see you try the Finnish MRE (taistelumuonapakkaus/sissimuona) if you want to of course! At the comfort of your home or preparing it outside like in this video. Really liked this video!
Ooh, that would be fun! I think I looked into get some 'official' ones a few years ago, but there was some legality thing about getting the actual stuff the army uses. But I'll look into it again because that would be really interesting!
The ones I had in the Finnish army were really good. In the movies they always complain about them but I had really good ones - I used them in the winter so I melted snow for hydrating the food but it was delicious😄
@@davecad What about Varusteleka? Don't they sell MRE?
Everything tastes better outdoors 👍
So true!
Your outdoor videos are so good and they make me to love nature of Finland even more❣️☺️
Tarvikkeilla se ratkeaa. Lisäksi jos päivällä vaeltaa niin uni tulee teltassakin hyvin. :)
I think this is the first sponsored content that made me want to buy the product :D (on any channel) I actually need some good outdoor gear.
That's great to hear! I've been so happy with all the RevolutionRace gear so it's nice to be able to recommend things that I'm genuinely impressed by 😀
I enjoyed this video sooo much! It had it all, fun, exiting, also you talking and ofcourse amazing Leo! Thankyou!
Leo's so big already! And absolutely adorable
You're such a great dad, Dave! And Leo is adorable! 😍
Hey, don't give up! Camping is cool when you find your own way to do it. I'm into hammocking and my kids love it as well. For a long while I didn't sleep well and was too alert all the time... But you'll get used to it.
Lovely video!! Seeing Leo with you and how much he has grown up 🥹💗
Thanks bro! Great video! Absolutely lovely to see you two💔💔💞💞
Your son is the best part of this video! 😍
Hyvän mielen video
That is one adorable kid.
Great video Dave! I've been mulling doing the summer house camping also, but have never got around to it..though I think I would need an air mattress....and a tent, of course! I've been enjoying your videos on and off for a while now but it was really interesting to see that you, like me, are an expat in a finnish-swedish family.
Seems like a lovely camping! Hope you get better sleep next time you camp! :) I'm happy for you!
Ahti suo antejaan. Hieno syksyinen tunnelma!
Great video 😃 Autum is the best fishing season! You have good zander place in T:saari bridge 👍 I like to sleep in my hammock in autum when the weather is good 🙂
Thanks! I think a nap in the hammock would be OK... not sure about all night though, for me at least haha!
Hi. If you wan't to get perch. Buy a Calico cat bait (black red and white is the classic and fish love it. I don't know why, but their loss is our gain....😉). Really good especially on the lakes. Love your way of doing things as a dad. Tenting near the fridge is the best. This I must admit. Nice place.👍🏻
Cool video!
yes! more camping vids!
This reminds me of the animated show Hilda.❤️
🤔if you have 2 sleeping bags, try zipping them together to see if that helps give you luxurious roominess without losing the pouch-ness of a sleeping bag.
I always used sleeping bags like a duvet, too claustrofobic zipped in... even though I was and am a small short person😆 Legs are alright to be in the pouch, hands NO WAY. Open edges tucked under me just like I do with a duvet for maximum mental AND physical comfort👌👍 Thin "telttapatja" (makuualusta, retkipatja) is enough padding from the ground without the sleeping bag since I'm small, they do make thicker ones and inflatable ones, too.
Seeing your kid grow up makes me feel old af :DDDD
What kind of mattress and pillow you have? If you are more of a side sleeper you might enjoy a sleeping quilt more but those are harder to find. Pillow makes a big difference, I use just a hiking pillow case stuffed with soft stuff like clothes. You can stabilize the pillow by keeping it inside your sleeping bag.
If you would like to go camping more and to do it with Leo in the future ( and get your back more accustomed to hard surface of mother earth) I highly recommend to contact your local scout troop and go to their next day trip or overnight trip. The age limit is 7 years, BUT many times there are younger children present with their parents so that won't stop you. Maybe it could make a good video too, British scouting is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Finnish one ;)
As much as i personally dislike fishing, I do love the calm and serenity we have here in finland even in cities to just walk into the woods and breathe for a moment.
Something I would do😄 Too bad you didn't do this with your whole family - it is such a nice experience to be and sleep in a tent. Back in the day our family even had a big tent sauna.
I think in a year or two Leo is going to be really into going camping with me! He's just a little bit too young at the moment.
@@davecad Leo is so cool 👍🏻
Hey Dave, you could start to make camping videos regularly. I love camping, hiking, paddling and skiiing in nature. 🥰 You remind me of Paul Messner. 😊 I loved that video you made with Roni Back in Nuuksio. 😍 It would be lovely to see your "growth" as a camper. Take Leo with you sometimes. 😊
Can't believe I just bougt me a jacket and pants from RR today and now I see I coul've used your code!
D'oh! 🤦♂️ next time!
What a sweet kid! And a good sport about his fish getting away. Perhaps next time it'll be a spiky one... Or maybe he'll even achieve that elusive dream of all Finnish fishers and catch a police car?
Totes amazeballz ;)
I didn't realize that in UK things, like fishing, are so restricted.
In Finland we have this thing called "Jokamiehen oikeus" (Every-mans-right), which means that we are allowed to roam around freely in nature, pick berries and mushrooms - even in private lands - (provided that one does not enter in anyone's backyard or garden or too close to private houses in general), camp, light a campfire (unless there's a dry season and a forest fire warning in force) - and of course, fish in public lakes, rivers and ponds - assuming one has paid his/hers nominal fishing fee (unless stated otherwise, that's to say there are certain restrictions, for example it's not allowed to fish by a river dam at the time of the year when salmons are coming back to breed).
Haven´t slept in a tent since i was seven or eight years old (about 34 years ago). I would propaply need air mattress and big sleeping bag. I have wide shoulders so i don´t know are there any for my size. i would also need pillow. Can´t even imagine sleeping without pillow 😄.
I bought some Revolution Race after seeing them in your videos, unfortunately couldn't use the code though as I'm in England
Dave, you should teach Vinkare how to fish, that would be nice video to see :)
Haha well, I think he knows how but he just needs a bit more luck 😁
4:50 I noticed that you've rolled your sleeping bag. My granma used to trek a lot and gave me a sleeping bag for my birthday and after I tested it and was rolling it in she told me that I should just stuff it the bags bag since it makes it easier to fit and it makes it last longer or something. I'm not sure if it's just a thing my granma came up with but I've been stuffing my bags since :p
It's true story. If you roll it, it get creases and the stuffing goes bad in the creased parts over time. You should always just stuff it in.
It was actually brand new and the first time I'd gotten it out. When I put it back I stuffed it in... For no other reason except for I'm too impatient to get it back by rolling it 🤣
@@davecad :D
Thought it might be a new one but just ignored the fact that it might be :p
@@cahe.
Tässä tehtiin tikusta asiaa..
Dave & Ali Leiniö collab, maybe?
He could teach me a thing or two I think!
As a big man myself i feel you on the restricting feeling of the sleeping bag.
But boy do i have an answer for you! Topquilt with a foot box. And then a proper insulation below regardless of if you use the hammock or tent.
Also since you are tall fellow you might need a longer hammock (to get the proper diagonal and even lay)
Thanks for the tips! I got the 'kingsize' hammock so I think it's about as big as they get. It was pretty comfortable, but I think I just need more practice :D
Ticket to the moon Kingsize is good but it is still the same length as the other tttm hammocks, only wider. :)
I used to have the same length hammock as you but after updating to longer (3+m) hammock i would not go back.
@@davecad Test the sleeping bag before buying. There is a lot of variation in sizes between manufacturers and between different models. And many offers custom sizes also. Check for example Cumulus sleeping bags, they are top notch.
Hey Dave Bro i am From Finland youre Good Guy
U should try same at the winter! ;D
Yes you can catch & cook but you can also grab & eat all the mushrooms and berries you can find too, if you are a Finnish citizen :)
(except for some magical mushrooms I guess, haven't stopped me though, lol).
You don't need to be a Finnish citizen to utilize everyman's right. Everyone and anyone have the right to pick berries and mushrooms.
u should make video with Gen Takaki. Speaking how hard to learn finnish
Omg he Is big already
You should definitely check out my brother's channel called Sopuli if you haven't yet!! He makes videos mostly about fishing but he also cooks and does kinda camping etc. in nature. This video reminded me of him, because the vibe is familiar ☺️
Turns out I've already seen one or two of his videos! I'll definitely check out some more!
@@davecad 🤩🤩🧡
While I don't eat fish as soon as I saw the pole flex for the 2nd pike I thought, freely translated from finnish, yep thats gonna be food grade
Can recommend to use a more proper military sleeping bag (more space) ;)
Other than better fitting sleeping bag, mattress is important. Inflatables are great, as long as they hold the air for the whole night. Really annoying to wake up to the feeling of laying on the cold ground in the middle of the night -> foam and air combo is good.
8:37 "note to self:remember to edit this out" :D yeah i think you need to spend little more time trying to learn how to do this without lighter so maybe you can do it next summer. :)
hahah xD Yeah I was losing light so fast, I didn't have time to practice hahah
Leo is a future heartbreaker
You've captured the most important thing of being a Finn. "How can ppl live there!!??" Its layering, bi***.
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 👍
Good video. You need bigger sleeping bag, better and thicker sleeping pad.. 😀
8:35 XDDD
🤭🤫
As finnish person, I love my country. I have everything here, my career, my job, my love and hopefully a new family member.

Are you getting into survivalism? Or camping and hiking? I saw you had some kind of a survivalist box there and the food in the bag.
@5:55 hauki is a nasty one, anything but, honestly Perch, great, Zander, effin awesome! (and then some), Pike? well if you must...
Just out of curiosity, what is your sons primary language? Would he go to Finnish or swedish school in future?
Can you put finnish texts in your videos.
(If it works)
You voice is like Neil Hadwick's 🙂
next time take Leo with you!
Perhaps not keep so many clothes in sleeping bag. It is even warmer that way. Can have a silk bag inside for additional comfort.
That jacket is totally on par with the season - you need to have orange, yellow or red clothes in the forest so that the hunters won't think you're a moose or a deer. People get shot every year by hunters that can't tell the difference between a human and a large grass eating creature with antlers. 😬
Oh, and you need a proper size sleeping bag and an air mattress, those will make camping so much more comfy!
I'm pretty sure you can't really do that in the UK anymore even if you are allowed to, because of.. you know.. the sewage.
That's sadly probably true

You're raising Leo to be a Finn while still teaching him to speak great English.
