For the past 4 months I've been wondering what's different about you and it's just dawned on me, that you got a haircut!... but you've been wearing a cap that's covering it up.. but I bet your scalp feels much better for it.👍😊
Forgot to mention the red sail covers are a perfect choice of color. You are a very honest sounding
What kind of drone do you have
I hope to hear more about the research
I like the shorter hairs much better
Never ever apologize for having a life beyond CZcams and making videos. You have a life, you have jobs and you're doing your best. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and for sharing your lives with us!
I think it's quite important to have/do things outside of youtube, despite what Mr Beetrooot does (yes I know he eats/sleeps/dreams/farts/smells/excretes youtube but not everyone should go to that extreme ).
For me, AlluringArctic is unique among sailing and adventure vlogs. Your Northwest Passage episodes are keenly awaited. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I think you are correct : better good interesting videos than many boring ones !
The beauty of Alaska always brings a sense of awe, no urban congestion just raw nature
Tell me you’re from Finland without telling me you’re from Finland: „I‘m here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by“. Nicely summarized and gave me a good chuckle 😁. A fellow finn.
Super funny comment.
Also, 'No, no seal. Don't be scared.' when delivered with heart felt compassion. 😂
Several sailing channels start out ok, then sailing content goes away and it becomes bullshit drama. Appreciate your efforts and many thanks.
they devolve to the cry face, bikini drama formula that works for some inexplicable reason.
@@SvengelskaBlondieHonesty the biggest thing that turns me off from other sailing channels is the feeling of disconnect. As if they just exist. With Alluring it feels so grounded in reality. They go grocery shopping, they ground the boat to fix problems, they talk about visa issues. They show us something incredible I've never seen
@@SvengelskaBlondie And even the ones which don't take that route do seem to go off the boil as the process of putting out videos becomes both more routine and (I would guess) more irksome.
I think it's a bit like particle physics: when a process is observed, that unavoidably affects the process.
I think this channel has retained its freshness and vitality (obviously some episodes are more vital than others, but I'm talking about the average) more than any other channel I can think of.
That's true, this and Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama are the only two i watch now sailing and tally ho and sailingmagiccarpet for build videos.
@@Gottenhimfella In some ways, it's sort of inevitable that some form of routine gets established, I can't think of doing something like that and not have that happening. I think one thing that helps is to have things other than just sailing, I like that they do stuff like skiing and waterboarding.
some channels seem to have very little outside of just "we have boat, we live on boat, show boat on camera" thing going on.
First of all, you are the owner of your life, so no need to excuse yourself. We are grateful to share some moments of your incredible experiences in areas that we just dream about. You are very lucky to have such an exciting life with a beautiful and intelligent partner that shares your aspirations.
"Turning it into steam"
Finns never pass up on the opportunity to have a sauna 😁
wish we had a real one on-board!
@@AlluringArctic that would be quite a luxury indeed 🙂
@@AlluringArctic I live in Florida...and go 4-5 times a week to a sauna..at my gym... lovely... relaxing...hobby
@@AlluringArctic Maybe you can add one in Greenland?
@@AlluringArctic A sauna tent? Some version of it. You could take one to the shore when you go skiing or otherwise. Would be max Finnish content, extreme sauna-ing. Esim. savotta-fi. Parhaat terveiset Tallinnasta.
Upping my Patreon membership level to $50/month and encouraging others to do so as you and Sohvi get ready for the North West Passage. I applaud you staying in the moment, and not filming every moment.
Live data being transmitted from the boat would be called 'telemetry' data.
You just do as many or as few videos as you feel like. They are such high quality gems of beauty and exploration that they are well worth the wait. Live your own life. You only get one. Your videos are the only ones that I share on social media, because your cinematography, your wide variety of skills, adventurous spirit, and sensitivity to your beautiful surroundings make your videos jewels of the CZcams world. So you just do you.
Super happy you have a frequency that suits your life. Always delighted to see a new video, whenever it comes.
The best ski scenes of any sailing channel I know! Glad the boat was ok when you got back.
🙃can't be said any better!
Yeah. In the south of my home waters, where I sometimes sail, we occasionally get 80 knots of wind even in harbour and it's a challenge. At that wind strength, containers not restrained well enough blow off the dock. Not good for any boat that's in the way...
Don't sell yourself short Juho. Some of us very much appreciate you providing voice to your thoughts. For instance, "I'm here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by". Bravo!
Juho, you should consider creating merchandise with the logo of that favorite motto “let’s go” of yours and maybe include Sohvi’s ✌️wave as well. 😉
Love how Sohvi feels about her jumper collection,always looks so warm and just beautiful jumpers😊
That would be a great product to market, as it's pretty much unobtainable otherwise.
I certainly understand your reasoning for not wanting to spend your time pumping out videos. The videos that you do produce are of such high quality that they are worth the wait in my opinion.
Hi guys, you shoot some of the very best videos on U Tube. The nature shots are great and then to get the ski content as a bonus is just great value.
I’d take your quality over quantity every time.
Do you worry about bear? Wolves?
Whenever you can put out a video, I very much appreciate it. This is so unique and amazing. I love it. Your adventures ARE SPECIAL. And I know hard to make. So when ever you can, it’s great. Thank you. Don’t let the documenting spoil your voyaging. 😊
hershey's is like bad coffee, it is fine until you try the good stuff.
You do you, I'll watch when you put something out. The scenery is amazing. No need to compare yourself to other sailing channels. Everyone has their own motivation.
HH coats with duct tape patches on them, the sign of an experienced Arctic sailor.
Good to see you back on the road. Not many sailing channels have a ski shop onboard. 😎
Nice to hear you guys communicating in your native language. I love the drone shots of the mountains, the boat, and the downhills, well done.
I'd much rather watch one high-quality video once a month from you than 4 from some of my other channels because you never disappoint. The drone shots with music are just incredibly well shot and edited, hands down world-class footage.
Truly an impressive video. I realize these videos take lots of time and erroft to produce. Thank you.
My wife and I sailed oceans together for over 55 years. Great experiences, however we almost always stayed between 40S and 40N. You guys are incredible. Your lady/crew is DOUBLE incredible. HOW do you get her to stay??? 😂
As an 80 year old life-long sailor landlocked in central Missouri I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks
THE DOCTOR CAN SHRED!
She's pretty damn amazing alright.
I agree. Hershey's is to chocolate what Miller Light is to beer.
Well, Hershey's makes eating chocolate, it is just not sold in stores very often and only appears around Easter time period. The stores stock and sell the cheapest version of Hershey's. You get what you pay for.
Most Americans prefer dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is cheap, that's why it's ubiquitous. Make a buck no matter what. They make a pretty good 5 ingredient syrup.
@@user-wi9hv2pb2q ? I know personally VERY few who like dark chocolate plain. Bulk Coco isn't expensive compared to milk fat
I like that your videos show what it’s really like and not this perfect false reality that other sailing channels do. Glad to see you guys back aboard. Boat faired well considering the weather and wind conditions. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
"I'm here just sitting on the beach to watch the ice float by"
To me that humble sentiment superbly sums up the best philosophy for blending with Nature and staying true...and that's why I watch your videos.
Thank you and I'm looking forward to following your Northwest Passage and Greenland journey.
I'm envious of Sohvi's woolen sweater collection! She has good taste in design and comfort.
We’re here for the quality not the quantity. Exceptional video production. I can’t stand the bikini sailing crap. It’s just Alluring Arctic and TallyHo. Carry on!
Also try sailing carpet. Same craftsmanship as tally ho
I meant: sailing magic carpet. My apologies
Alluring Arctic and RAN Sailing are the only two sailing channels I watch now.
I said bye bye to La Vagabond years ago. Though they do have a badass boat again. At least Riley is a true sailor...
Your channel is amazing. Thank you for sharing your lives. I can't believe all you guys do. You must be in amazing shape. ❤
@@mike-fe9wj its a shame about lavagabonde because anytime Riley did solo sails, or their older crossings etc it was awesome.
But hey they got a whole family now so i can't judge the dude.
Phantastic pictures again. So peaceful.
Good words of yours. Your life, your choices.
11:02 this is one of the reasons I love your channel! Your channel is the only one I’ve seen with sailing and skiing in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing this with those of us stuck in suburban life!
I love when you speak your native language!
Little tip from a fellow (old) sailor - when leaving boat docked in an area where it might snow, cover as much as you can with a tarp(s). When you return you can just lift the tarp and the snow will fall overboard. Even works with ice. I also recommend a large push broom to push off any remaining snow. Cheers
A heavy duty tarp, securely tied down so it will not flap, no matter how strong the wind or which direction
Integrity, I will take that over a weekly video anytime.
Amazing footage, story and editing!
Thank you
I like your honesty .. "I just abandon all my responsibilities" 😄
Sohvi's smile always makes my day!! You put out just the right amount of videos ... don't change a thing!
Great video as usual. Scenery is spectacular. Once a month quality is all we need. Safe travels...
Taking pictures and videos and sharing their beauty with friends and family is much more humane than generating content for the masses. I have a hard time believing that the people that watch sailboats sailing in winter are the typical CZcams sailing demographic. There is a serenity to the north-woods that is mystical and alluring. Once you glimpsed that spark it is hard to not be drawn back to it over and over. I am really excited to come along on your NW Passage. What an adventure that will be. Fair winds!
I'm with you. Sit on the beach and watch the ice float by. I don't need to know where you are itching or what you had for lunch. Too many vids just ramble on about nothing. I'm here for the adventure and scenery.
Really like your photography.
Thanks so much for the adventures!
I have to tell you that I watch quite a few sailing channels, and yours is the only one I am a patreon of.
I completely agree with your philosophy that anyone sending money to a channel, must rate the quality and content of the video, making it worth paying to watch. I supported Leo with Tally ho, but he now has enough viewers that I decided to rather give you my patronage. as I now live on a 32ft Aries in Knysna Lagoon South Africa, with a plan to sail up the east coast to Madagascar and beyond, having rented out our house, we like to get tips from people making videos about what it is like to live on a yacht. I am 72 and almost 2m tall, so it is a challenge with such a small boat, but that is all we can afford. So, consider yourself lucky that a poor man like me, with shit currency, rates your work highly enough to actually pay for it.
I hope this comment of mine will give you some small boost ,that what you do is interesting and well produced.
I look forward to your future adventures in the North West Passage.
Cheers, Alex
You are the best sailing channel. Thanks.
Your grocery bill seemed like about enough to cover two weeks worth of food, in Alaska. Beautiful scenery!
You two are subtle powerhouses ... don't change a thing ... very special videos, and one of a kind really.
I'm so proud to be a Finn! These two sailors are the very most interesting couple that sailing in the world! So original, hyvää matkaa ja kertakaikkiaan paras YTube video. CHEES, Ben
It's going to be a great adventure 😊
Your videos are high quality compared to many other youtubers. Looking forward to more, once a month or so :-)
I totally get your top 3 reasons. If I could paraphrase it, you're more into creating something worthwhile the effort. That is sooooo evident in your cinematography. I'm beyond excited for the trip through the NW passage this summer! Thanks for taking me along.
oh and, chocolate isn't the only thing that's been ruined here in the US. Be diligent in reading food labels. Lot's of inedible garbage out there.
Appreciate that you guys ditch the drama and just show what we are all here for - awesome scenery and real sailing. Kudos
15:37 looks like the ice sheet with Lumi is floating above the mountains! 😍
Thank you a million times! I just love your videos! Thank you! I get to travel with you guys from Paris's suburbs and it is absolutely amazing!
I personaly don't care how many videos you do per months, whenever you feel like it, just keep sharing! Wishing you all the best for all your futur adventures!
I enjoy all your videos and respect your decision to not be a slave to your channel. Srick to your principles! We will be looking forward to your Arctic passage.
Fish and palm trees are nice, but you bring us great adventures with beautiful scenery. Keep doing what makes you happy. If it doesn't make me happy, that's my problem. It is wonderful to watch. Keep it up and a little more would be ok as well.
Even tho you release 1 video a month I don't mind. Generally they are longer than your normal sailing channels and diffrent due to the mix of skiing and sailing. I have to say your camera work is awesome and also your choice of music is good. I always enjoy your videos. Enjoy life mate. Do what ever makes you happy :)
I love that your adventures are in the attic or cold climate. Everyone else films the same old tropical landscape. Your on a whole other level ❤
You have 🎿 other locations. You always have solid content that nobody can repeat
I’m not sure if you realize how unique, original and beautiful your videos are. There are so many videos that are very much like a hundred others but yours are very different than most others. Not only that but they are really interesting. I enjoy them very much and am among the others that would like to see more but I honor your choices and we will see them when we do. God bless.
The average sailing yootoober would have taken a camera all over Finland for the two months you were back home. I like the mystery. We don't need to meet your uncle and cousins or experience shopping in a Finnish supermarket. Thanks for sparing us. Enjoy the beauty,
Your videos are unique in a sea of sailing videos that push for weekly uploading, regardless the fact that those videos are actually empty. I don't know financial background of CZcams, but I support your decision to post when you have good and interesting material. Keep your god work.
Good to hear from you guys
keep sitting on the beach my friend ..best sailing channel on youtube ..
Create as many memories for yourself as possible and go your own way. That time will never come back. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Hey Juho, easily the best sailing YT channel for scenery and stunning locations. I’m not a skier but even I love your skiing / snowboarding sequences and the photography/ videography and drone work are the best! Love a few little technical sailing tips thrown in occasionally but please just keep doing what you’re already doing. Infrequent, high quality videos are so much more engaging than the torrent of rubbish that is so common on other YT channels. Very much looking forward to seeing your journey through the northwest passage. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia.
9:43 "The first obstacle of the day..."
That was a comical coincidence 😂
this showed me a side of sailing i never saw before, it is very fascinating and much more slow paced than the usual one, or at least it seem so! You guys are also a very cool couple. All the best
You are the best channel. Always genuine and interesting.
I've missed your videos.
You're in such stunningly beautiful scenery and doing things no one else is doing.
I understand you not wanting to spend your every waking hour making and editing videos, but when we see the end product, they are on a level that far surpasses other sailing channels.
Excellent video as always
Totally agree, and all the more reason not to trade quality for quantity
Thank you for taking me on this journey. I have never experienced this type of landscape.
I totally understand your reasoning for quality content. I once again started watching for a while. I can't stop. the great scenery and the non-bikini content just keeps me watching!
you be you and sohvi be sohvi, im sure thats what most of us like the most. your vids are of exceptional quality and always 100% interesting.
stay true dudes...lovin it
This is such a beautiful way to report a true adventure through icy wilderness
Sohvi looks great in the turtle neck sweater.
It is wonderful you are sharing your journey with us. Please don't ever feel you have to produce a weekly episode. Quality over rides quantity every time. Keep doing what you are doing it makes your channel refreshingly different.
Cheers Eric
Nice shots of the boat while underway Juho. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching a boat come alive after being blanketed in snow & ice. Way more work than comes across in any video. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
Good to see the boat navegating again.
Your videos are very unique to the sailing cruising world. The snow and ice and the effort involved doing what you do is very interesting. I look forward to your posts. Sohfis pullover also a nice look. Some of the best Nordic style I have ever seen.
Re: video release. It’s all good releasing videos with great content. Much happier watching good content rather than watching lesser quality. Enjoy the trip! We will too.
Keep doing what you are doing and produce quality over quantity! I love your style and really appreciate the level of cinematography you deliver!
Love your videos! Quality is always better than quantity and drama. Be safe and enjoy your lives. Looking forward to your next adventure😊
Agree completely about getting priorities right. Also about American chocolate.
Fantastic scenery. Good to see you are back on the slopes again.
This is like having a planet to yourself. What a place.
Huikeaa matskua Juho! Thank you . World class, unique, impecable quality ❤
I completely understand your comments regarding the quantity of videos you make; the wait is worth it.
One of my favorite channels ! Good content and sometimes less is more. Not a bunch of silly fluff. Always look forward to each episode.
I always enjoy your videos, I see nothing wrong with the schedule you keep.
This is the video we have been waiting for, sailing and skiing. Love it! I wish you a great skiing season.
You guys are tough !!! Real sailing
Love your photography/videography, some of the best in my feed. I really appreciate the effort you put in and the quality is outstanding. I always make sure I have peace and quiet for watching your work, pure escapism I guess, but it really is the best use of my TV. Thank you, stay safe, and enjoy yourselves.
Wow, what sceneries! Makes Lappland look like a theme park! Wilderness at its best!
Vain suomalaiset!
Your best video yet? amazing scenery. You do not need to apologise for being different, That is why I watch your productions
Hi sailors I’m in Alaska, love your channel. I’m 57 years old out of back surgery. Love your videos are and how honest you are describing things. Even the American chocolate, I taught downhill and sailed years ago, your life looks like heaven too me. So cheers even if we don’t get too sea or see you as much thanks for sharing 😊
57 and still can’t use proper grammar
I like your honesty and sense of humor. Greetings from Thailand.
Always looking forward to your next video. Love the scenery shots.
I like your videos. No need for more, no need for anything. I feel fortunate you share your adventures
Recent subscriber. Love your videos and look forward to your adventures in the Arctic.
Stunning content, as always, worth the wait. Well done guys
