20:14 She's right about that, mosquitoes hate smoke. That rubbish was probably left there by youth who go to these lean-to shelters on weekends to have a barbecue and get drunk. Finland is full of those places and they are free to use.
A Finnish person here. I spent my childhood in the Finnsih lake district, a great place to grow up. Yes all the space and the vast forrests are a real treasure. Finland has a so called "every man's right", all wild nature, even private land, is free for all to enjoy. Of course you must play by the rules, you aren't allowed to harm the nature or disturb other people.
Last month I drove from south Finland to north Finland (Sodankylä) to take furniture to my wife’s cabin in the woods. Being a Welsh man that had never driven in Europe & this being my first time. I loved everything about it. The bits I loved was how nice everyone was & how clean all the roads are. The off tarmac roads were brilliant. The bits I didn’t like was the mosquitoes. I got used to wearing the net hat. I got so badly bitten by the mosquitoes that I had a skin infection on my hands that I had to have a week off work when I got back to the UK as it felt like the skin on my hands were ripping ever time I moved them. In total I did 2478km in 3 days & a bit of work on the cabin ready for us to go out there next month & in November.
Have a brilliant time both ride safe.
Finland is such an amazing country!
This is too late for you, but the best time for motorcycle trip in Finland is mid to end of august, still summer but hardly any mosquitos 👍🏻
Really like your content, such a fun couple on an adventurous roadtrip. Since Itchy Boots is on a hiatus I needed this! 😄
I hardly watch tv because most TV programs are so manufactured and fake but these kind of Travelvlogs are real and entertaining. Subscribed! Stay safe!👍
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it this😃
Love the photo, great capture. Jealous of your trip, keep the videos coming, we appreciate your time and effort in bringing them to us.
Thanks so much!
Bloody amazing photo!!! Well done Mitch 😃
Thanks 👍
This is Scandinavia. I wouldn't really worry about having stuff stolen unless you leave the bike in one off the larger cities. Maybe just take the phone and wallet with you
My new drop everything channel 🫡
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I just found your channel & have started binge watching your older adventures & I'm extremely impressed by what you're doing!! Will follow your channel for more great adventures !
Awesome! Thank you!
That’s what happened to me now I can’t wait for the next episode.
22 more episodes from Finland does not sound bad.
Martha and Mitch the pair of you should decide to keep all of your true love for each other don't let the stresses up set you both l hope when you finish your continental trip l hope theirs going to be more countryside motor bike videos when you both reach home but don't worry about any thing Martha and you Mitch Just keep calm and enjoy your futures together your true fans love you both
You need to get a locking cable for your helmets and jackets. Mosko Moto sells a good one. Don’t put valuables in your tank bag. Carry any valuables in a backpack (instead putting food in there). Do these things and then you can go see the sights you want!
Y'all give me hope that there are still amazing women out there.
It's a beautiful photo of Martha. The whole scene evokes peaceful feelings. What a road trip! Btw...whenever it'll fit, I'd put up the tent in the lean to. Next level camping and completely out of the rain and dew. See you next time ❤ Lauren
Yes, a really nice photo. Well done Mitch. Martha is beautiful. Keep the videos coming. I am really enjoying it. I know it can’t be easy doing them when you are travelling 👍
The pic of Martha is truely lovely, treasure it, Mandy
From one Mitch to another, why rush guys, just enjoy 🤪
Slept almost 10 hours??? Wow, that must be nice. I sure wish I could sleep that long! You’re on an adventure who cares what time you get going??? Stop planning along a timeframe and just enjoy!
Great video you two Martha for someone who has only just passed your test you are doing great Mitch has taught you well.
Thank you!
If you haven't already, try looking at backpacking for lightweight food and cookware ideas. There's a wealth of info on the subject. Being able to go a week or more without hitting a grocery store will not only save you time/money but will simplify your day and allow you to stay places longer. Great photo!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Wonderful ❤
There is an option on your dash that tells you how many gallons of liters you have used rather than the amount of miles. It is much more accurate
Hi Martha and Mitch, watched chapter 2 and 3 Norway. Glad you were OK Martha after your fall. Great you get back on your bike and carry on. The landscape looks wonderful, with trees and lakes. Good to see you having fun swimming in the lake. Happy for you both that everything is working out well on this latest adventure, motor bike life. Keep safe ,look forward to watch chapter 4. Both doing a great of of filming your travels,like the back ground music too. Take care,allthe best T I'm Melbourne.
I too came across your channel only yesterday about the off-road training and have been binge watching your adventure's from the start. You both make a beautiful couple and I hope you both have a fantastic experience with your travels.... Martha of the lake, that photo is magical. Can't wait for the next post....love to you both 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
I always carry a bike cover I leave my helmet and jacket under the cover on the bike out of site out of mind never had anything stolen well worth carrying everytime you cant see your bike cover it. Safe travels
Watched all your videos on your channel and loving the transition to the bike trips, it's a nice change from all the van life channels. Keep up the good work guys ❤
Awesome, thank you!
That was such a beautiful photo ❤
Hello from Finland! Lovely trip and video!
Just found your channel a day ago, and feel you are a great couple and your videos are really fun and interesting. Dont know how far you have come in real time, but go to the nearest hardware store and buy a small portable THERMACELL. Which will help you keep most mosquitos away. Think it is a Finnish product but should be able to get also in Sweden and Norway. Enjoy Scandinavia, drive safe and have fun. 😊
That photo is 🔥 Cant wait to see the next video 🤩
Thank you 🙌
Another great video guys keep at it, lovely photo Mitch 😎🤘🏻
Thanks 👍
Great photo Mitch, melancholic which is odd as you look joyful.
Great photo Mitch, one to show the grandkids how cool you both were back when you were young.
Totally!
Great photo of Martha with the fly screen on her head.
It reminded me of queen victoria when she was mourning her late husband.
So funny Martha 😊
Great vlog you have a gift for photos brilliant 😊
Thank you!!
Yes, a truly beautiful photo! Congratulations Mitch and really a beautiful soul to boot!
Love the photo of Martha, outstanding job! Cherish this time together.
Thank you so much!
Another great video, you two drive safe. Remember enough ever minute, time goes by so fast, next thing you know you are old and watching you great guys and envy you so much. Thanks
The easiest way to get drinking water is just to go to the nearest restroom, toilet, whatever. All water from any tap is usually very good, and, of course, free of charge.
Yes, you are right. Get the fire going that will keep some mosquitoes away. Great video again.
You two are fab, your doing so well that picture of Marth was lovely. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊
Absolutely love the photo of Martha! Really, really enjoying this series 😀🌲 It's got everything - the highs/lows, funny bits, reflective - so well done, you two!
Beautiful setting. Lovely image of Martha. Enjoy your travels
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Fabulous. Another great video. I always feel emotional watching you two and your adventures together. I was wondering could you stay longer with you saying your not covering enough miles in a day. Great picture by the way.
Thank you. Due to the Schengen visa we didn’t want to use all of our 90 days for this trip, so we were trying to stick to being inbetween 30-45 days
@@TheJammyGits o yes,ide forgotten about that. Looking forward to the next videos. Go steady
Fellow biker and former Stokie here, love the bike trip videos...
Awesome, thank you!
Very cool photo
Hello. 14.35 usually gates like that tells you to stay away (Private roads to summer cottages or land owners lands) here in Finland. Land owners not happy if you go their lands but.. there was no sign in it sooo.. i think you are good to go!😊 But keep in mind. Loving your trip so far! 🎉🎉
Well i was wrong. Thats public place😅.
Thanks for the info!
15:37 Thats called Laavu. One side is open on fireplace side. Even in winter that is warmer and keeps rain away on summer. 18:09 You must hit the axe on the end side of the log. And when it start to split hit to split...repeat.😊
Well done you two.. great video, beautiful countryside and forests, those lakes are wonderful. Your photo of Martha is lovely..
Love the smooth drone filming end. Looking forward to the next one..
Love the photo, it’s great to have you back to watch, loving the trip so far
Had to rewind a couple of times bc of that foto. Spot on!
That photo had me in my feels 🥹 what a moment
AMAZING PHOTO! The ginger hair makes it pop 🤍🤣
Another great video guys. You're both a pleasure to watch. Happy travels. Jason
Love the photo. and if you can try Smidge great for midges and works on all biting insects. Cheers
Thanks for sharing your adventure ❤ Good luck and enjoy!
Great pic and love watching your journey through finland
The worst thing you can do on a trip like this is force yourself to meet tight timelines and stress yourself out about it. You won't ever get to have a first time through this country, make sure you enjoy it, don't waste it on negativity.
Great series so far. It might be a bit late but I highly recommend treating your base layers/camp clothes with Permethrin. You'd likely have to order it and it sounds scary but it works super super well in my experience. Especially when used in combination with regular bug spray. I live in the PNW of the USA and even when I camp somewhere full of mosquitoes I usually end up getting away with maybe 1 bite but usually no bites.
16:00 "is this mosquitoes" LOL
Mitch use a float and hook with bait for fishing . Worms are great
Great series - reegarding visiting places - most places will have a cloakroom if you pay or ask nicely. In Bastogne museum I put my bag, jacket and helmet safely behind their desk - for free!
Interesting, thanks for this tip!
Sick pic Mitch 📸
Cheers!
Take really valuable items (wallet, passports, camera etc) with you. But all other stuff (helmets etc) can stay on the bikes. Maybe use a lightweight cable lock for the peace of mind. Theft is uncommon here.
Thermacell helps for mosquitos.
Nice photo of her BTW
Loving your videos and adventures 😊
Thought id relax to some jammy kits tonight and the video quality hasn’t finished uploading fully 😭😭😭 and i wanna see the beauty so ill have to wait until tomorrow
Amazing photo x amazing video x thank you
Glad you enjoyed it☺️
That photo is brilliant. The best one i ever took was of jodral bank. Deleted it by accident 😂😂
😂
excellent photo
Amazing I love it 😍💟
love it
Brilliant photo ❤
Thank you!
You need to buy Thermacel
Great pic. You two are a laugh
Watching your adventures with interest! Thanks for your input. Great job. Just asking myself what kind of tires you have on yor bikes. I'm planning a similar trip for 2025 and riding the CRF 300 Rally.
11:23 back in the day people only eat once a day. As I have for over a decade. It's seems that such would be an ideal lifestyle for what y'all are doing and including the Van life. Imagine how much time, space and money you would save. Just sayin.
Amazing photo of an amazing women !!!
Cool
Just found your channel and love it, looks like you are having a blast.
Had a question... What do you use for your audio to Go Pro and to talk to each other? Searching for our trip next year
Never wear blue up here. Beige, grey or white. And you need Jungle-Juice repellant or as its called in Sweden Mygg-A. For your next adventure. Maybe you have already figured all this in coming videos 🥸
So stunning. Shame about the bites, all the time. That photo is a comp winner
Thanks!
The painted lines thing… it’s just another indicator of how far down the toilet the uk is compared with other countries.
Stunning Photo of stunning girl
To make life easier for next time why not buy a few freeze dried meals like moutaineers use, to cut down on weight
Hmm... beautiful spot you found again for camping! This time I don't know where it is actually located?
(You shouldn't ride behind those closed gates. The landowners put those gates there for a reason)
Usually those gates are put to prevent cars from driving there
@@mantelikukkapenkki2368 also motorcycles
@@mantelikukkapenkki2368 With @gozamite being the TET linesman for Finland, he does have some authority behind his words...
TET being the track Mitch and Martha are following on their nice adventure...
My internet stalking skills point to Evo hiking area, and Niemilaavu more precisely, and the lake should be Alinen Niemisjärvi
@@terokarkkainen3426 Authority?? No! Not at all. But maybe I know something about where you can ride and where you can't?
Strange question lol but how are you both finding the long rides with the standard seat
I (Martha) haven’t had that much of a problem with it, but as you’ll see during the series, Mitch can’t handle it and now wants to upgrade 😅
@TheJammyGits 🤣🤣 you do see very mixed reviews. Loving the series keep up the good work👌👌👌
What camera did you use to get that photo? It’s sick!
We have a Sony ZVE-10 with a Tamron 17-70 lens
@@TheJammyGits can’t wait for the next episode, you both never fail to crack me up 🤣
What kind of camera do you shoot with?
It’s a Sony zve10 with a tamron 7-70mm lens
@@TheJammyGits
7 or 17 I searched for 7 and didn't find it. I found 17-70.
@@Saudi_stories Sorry it's the 17-70.
@@Saudi_stories sorry, missed the 1, yes 17-70mm 😊
Why are you afraid those mosquitoes? There are no diseases in these Finnish mosquitoes. Just let it sting. I don't feel the stings at all anymore. Wait for northern Finland if you have so many problems with mosquitoes. Buy Thermacell, it works. But, enjoy Finland the world's most honest nation. If here are problems, a Finn will always, always help.
The jourmey is the reward. Destination is irrelevant
16:00 God damn teenagers! always messing up places and leaving their trash all over.
Don't drive so fast when your driving in small forest roads... Hope it just looks that you guys are driving fast, but your not actually driving that fast..... Jesus Christ... This was the evidence that I am old now... Talking about driving too fast and have concernes about youngsters safety 😢... I mean, i was a ski jumper, parasholter and paraglider for some 15 years ago.... I must start doing some dangerous stuff again, so I feel that im alive again 😢
