夏休み2泊キャンプ 1日目 – Summer trip report Day1


夏休み中2泊キャンプ行ってきました。1日目は友人(ハンガリー出身)と。クレイジーメキシカンも参加の予定だったのですが、前日に体調を崩し棄権。2日目は私一人でソロキャンプという日程です。
場所はいつもの場所ではなく、今まで利用したことない場所を選択・・・しかし問題発覚。予定していた場所、とてもくつろいでキャンプできるような状態では無かったのです。フィンランドのこういった施設では非常に珍しいことなのですが、荒れ放題に荒れてる。薪はあちらこちらに散乱し、寝床のリーントゥーは土足であらされ座ることすら躊躇するような状態。ルート沿いに立てられている道標も全て剥がされていた。住宅地から0.8kmという近さのためだろうか?それにしてもひどい。

I have had 2 nights out trip during my holiday. First day was with friend and the second day was solo. The Mexican friend was supposed to join, but he got sick on day before so he skipped this time.
The location, we choose some new place where we never have been. On the map, it looks promising but, when we have reached the site, we realized that this site is not going to be present…
The indication was seen from the starting of the trail.  All the signs along the path were vandalized. And the campsite… it was impossible. I have lived and seen Finnish people and them behavior in the nature and have used the outdoor facilities in the forest quite a lot. But I never have seen such a mess and claw mark of vandalism. Fire wood pile was dissipated all over the site. Laavu was messed with muddy boots marks, fire pit was almost unusable condition and leftover char are piled around. The location was only 0.8km walk from living area, but this cannot be happening…

仕方が無いので地図を広げて場所変更を検討。ラッキーなことに4km程さらに歩いた場所にキャンプ可能地がある。この時点で時間は18時頃、しかし林道を近道として使えば3kmチョッとの距離。これなら今からでも十分可能だ。

So we decided to change the site. Open the map and check what is possible to access from here… we have started the trip after 17:00, so do not have too much time to move around.
Luckily, there is another location about 4km walk away. It should be far enough, so no easy vandalism can reach. Also, there is a forest car road running, which we could use it as shortcut, making it about 3km distance.



目的地に到着したら即夕飯の準備、自分の分と犬の分。ゆっくりしたいが、そんな暇は無いのです。
As soon as arrived at destination, start preparing meal, for myself and for dogs… no time to relax, chill out yet.






食事が終わったところでやっとゆっくり出来ます。ブーツを脱いで冷たい湖に足を入れる、最高に気持ち良いです。
After the meal, finally the time to chill out. take off boots and dip in the feet to cold lake. Fantastic feeling.




焚き火の横でリラックスしているとオオハクチョウが風きり音を立てながら舞い降りてきました。ホボ目の前に降り立つその光景は感動物。白鳥の大きさといい、風きり音といい、ただただ見とれるばかりです。
While we are relaxing by the fire, there came a pair of swan right front of where we are.
that bard is really big and amazingly beautiful. especially when fly pass close range... the wing span, the look, the sound.




tried Rakovalkea super mini... well it did not work. somthing must be missing from this construction.
ラコヴァルケア、ミニミニヴァージョンに挑戦、、、何かが足りないらしく失敗。

1晩めはコタ(フィンランド式ティーピー)で寝る。ハッキリ言って寝心地悪い・・・
1st night, I have slept in here... honestly, I did not like it. could not sleep well...

  1. No, that vandalism is not pleasant at all! Sad to see it in Finland. :( Maybe it was some teenagers or something.

    Looks like you're already getting good use of that vintage pack. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

    Not everything went perfectly on your trip, but that's outdoor life. :) It's better than being stuck inside, right?

    Thanks for showing.
