Open wilderness hut Korsatupa in the Pulju Wilderness Area, Finland—October 2023, during my two-week solo hike. This is one of the rare wilderness huts in Finland that has a sauna, which felt like pure luxury on a longer hike. It was especially welcome on this trip, as I got caught off guard by early snowfall and was basically hiking in summer gear—no snowshoes, skis, or proper winter equipment with me.

I tend to find less trash in Norwegian nature than in Finnish nature, but it can still be found there too. This pile was in the ruins of a building near an open wilderness hut called Oksvannskoia. There was so much of it that I had to leave it behind, as I couldn’t carry all that extra stuff with me—and there was no trash bin at the hut. Needless to say, people should carry their own crap out, and this just makes me so angry.
