I started hiking in 2020, when one of my friends invited me for a hike. I had dreamed of starting hiking as a hobby, but didn’t have the right knowledge, equipment or experience.
People say that you should start slow, but when you know you are going to like something, you just know. I started with 82 kilometer hike in one of the best known trails in Finland Karhunkierros. I had shity and heavy gear, but I made it and loved it.
Now I have hiked alone and with friends, on trails in national parks and wilderness areas, with heavy gear and light gear through different seasons.
I want to share my experiences and tips that would have helped me at the beginning.
