- From a five star hotel to cold subzero winter camping with the French Army F2 tent. I'm almost submerged in snow as the freezing conditions sweep across Finland. This "Survival Evolved" game mod is very realistic, kids! Solo camping during an Arctic blast is something everyone should try once. So, take the plunge and join me.
Best part of winter camping, no bugs. Worst part, getting out of warm sleeping bag. Great video POP.
I totally respect that. I love camping, I tolerate bugs, winter camping is the best. (apart from the freezing temps ofc haha)
Sarcasm and snow! Best combination!
Someone testing a tent in Finland during the winter really means something. Good skills brother.
"The Great Chairman is dead! Start weeping!" haha
Great vid Pops. Blizzard camping looks like a worthy challenge.
I'm really getting into your brand of humour - As dry as my January Martinis. Cheers
Best shaken, not stirred 😃
@@bigchiponmyshoulder7573 😂😂😂
love your vids pops,im an ex british paratrooper ,your straight forward talking and dry humor is spot on ,and taking the piss out of this soft, modern generation is right up my street . keep the excellent vids coming
I love these tents. We own two and I’m considering buying more for when they eventually wear out. I live in Wyoming where the winds reach 30-50mph pretty much everyday and have camped in this tent with winds gusting to 65mph. It has held up superbly! The only place I wouldn’t camp in this tent is a place experiencing a monsoon as the upper vents tend to allow a minor amount of spray in.
do you use the canvas one which is the F1 or the nylon (same material ass all current tents these days) which is the f2 , I ask because I always see people saying the F2 nylon is terrible for leaks and condensation and everything , I own the canvas one and am yet to sleep in it but hear amazing things about it , hence buying
I have the desert tent and use a tarp over it ,never got wet.
This is really wonderful news for me. I'm moving to Wyoming soon and have been using this tent out in the California desert.
We love your truth full humor the world is lacking in humor today . Next time you see granny say hi to her from California . Happy Trails
Amazing you camped in those freezing cold conditions! Fascinating to see your French Army F2 nylon tent ⛺ took that battering from the elements 👍
Thank you!
Hello from America! Winter camping is my favorite. No bugs and no sweat.
It's just like summer camping in the UK, no bugs no sweat lol.
It's always nice to find a new content creator. I plan on watching more of your videos and feeling the camping vibe with you.
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
You''re only ever a breath away from a job in telemarketing :)) Made me subscribe
Your sense of humor is much appreciated.
Your dry humour is not lost on this brit .
Or this one.
Or this Yank.
Love the video, your sense of humor and the camping ⛺️ Keep uploading more trips. Thanks for sharing.
That is a nice tent and it helped keep you safe during the snow storm and is perfect for Winter weather. I would like to have one that size if it can be put up easily and keep you that warm. The MRE's are nice compared to the older C rations which was terrible to me.
As always I appreciate your sardonic and laconic use of words and your style of of no jazz but plenty of rhythm. Brilliant !
Watched the Entire video, I find it extremely interesting to see how different types of equipment copes in the extreme conditions
As an Australian with my father being born in Finland(he came to Australia in 69 with a family of 9) I understand this humour 100% and this how my humour is haha,it’s hard for fellow freinds to get my humour as i say to them Its a finnish thing you wouldn’t get it😂
Pop , thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Great to visit with you again. I laughed out loud about lining up for noodles .
Enjoyed your outing. Granny just doesn't get it. As most elderly females. My 70 year old spouse doesn't participate, but tolerates my dementia. I love your wry sense of humor. Winter camping is my favorite, although the temperatures are erratic over here near Memphis, TN USA, at 35 degrees Latitude, swinging wildly from shirt-sleeve weather to zero centigrade and lower, and rarely snow. Tje summers are sultry and ridden with ticks and mosquitos. I live on the wrong end of Tennessee. The Eastern end is fantastic, cool mountains and spectacular scenery. I make the 400 mile drive as often as possible.
That was fun to watch, like your sense of humor.
Cheers from Holland!
:)
Great videos Helsinkipop, I'd seen all of them :) No fancy smart expensive gear, no smart-ass expression - just the real thing served with humour from someone actually worth listening to. Your history lessons are very interesting. Keep up posting :) Greetings from Denmark - unfortunately again this year we don't have any winter here :/
Fantastically amusing as ever, you always put a realistic and humorous spin into your narrative, really get cheered up with your films, thank you so much. Harry
A Classic from start to finish.
Grandmother just called. She wants her shopping bag returned. ⚠
Fantastic video as always. Definetly my favourite YT channel. Can't wait for the next one!
Dear Pops Id like to thank Granny for the warm and witty way her grandson discribes his beautiful country, all best cheers Will ps Granny's know best😁
You are a brave man eating a US MRE (Meals recycled excrement). We use the F2 tent and have found it both cheap and reliable. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, stay safe. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law, Stella and Terri with Robyn.
Thank you very much!
Outstanding my friend, great camp! Your humor is spot on!
I was just looking at the F2 French pup tent, on sale for $30.00 at an online surplus store. I really wish I would have seen this video before I didn't buy it! Held up great in the snow, quite impressive! Thanks for the video, stay safe out there!
Brilliant mate, love the banter as always, your comment about Tampere and high heals killed as its so bloody true, thank God for Finnish nightclub coat check for 2.5 euros. lol. Awesome. Kiitos. Moose.
The chairman is dead, start weeping.
Funny stuff.
Thanks for taking us along.
Evening buddy from England 😁. Camping in the woods with snow is great training. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time ATB Andy
I hope England will get another "Beast from the East". It made very good camping videos last year.
@@Helsinkipop i can't wait until it comes. I loved it i was tested that day. 😂
Great vid!, like to see more of Finland and the people and culture. My mother spoke seven languages fluently and at the age of 80+ she wanted to speak Finnish, Why?, I asked, she replied, "Because it looks bloody hard".
Pops im late for this show, your in the f1 in the snow, for a night, yes, your out of your crust for sure man, and thats what it takes, i spent 23 years in the infantry, the cold camping is always interesting, when the snow stops and the sky is clear and full of stars the air is full of energy ,the quiet in the pines. Im 61 now and still go.
Movement is life. let the young eat their gigabites with chopsticks there missing out.
Ekstra: I was in the army in the cold war era too. Mobile infantry - cannon food, as we called it. Most exercising "fight & retreat" against the Warsaw Pact. I remember, at a special survival maneuver we slept outside on the ground - only w an extra cotton parka-coat and 2 thin wool blankets. It was down to -20 C that winter. I don't have to tell it was C-O-L-D and we froze our asses off :) Furthermore, we had to undress and go shower in a barn after a simulated gas-attack. Well - it was fun and another time, we were not pussies and we didn't complain. Today I guess everybody would need assistance from a psychologist after such an experience... I heard, that todays recruits starts the career with a progress of getting used to boots :D
Back in the day every guy was expected to be 'Audie Murphy' :-)
Not every guy was, but there was no way to claim monetary compensation complaining that a nasty man with stripes on his arm shouted at me and made me get a haircut.
I Like these videos he has a great sense of humour. He is a cool cleaver guy.
Love the sense of humor. Cheers from the Front Range of the Rockies
I'm revisiting this video after a bit.It's always nice to hear the knowledge passed on and the good reviews.I just got one of these and plan to take it out once the weather gets colder.I plan to ditch the poles and use a ridgeline.
We are from the same tribe. Thumbs up!
Was in hospital from kidney stone attack. I would of taken cold and snow any day. Great video. Always a learning experience even at 70. Have a great day.
Brilliant Humour ......... Great memories of Tampere about 45 years ago .... as hitch-hiking hippie - Thanks for bringing the memories back ....
Thank you > From Thailand 🙏
A day with a new video from Pop is a good day indeed :) just in time to coincide with snowfall here in Bergen too, might have to do something very similar!
I'm so glad i found your channel again
"Start weeping" bahhhhhaaaa
~Alabama viewer
You are a lunatic....lol...I love your videos. My goto tent for 15-20 years was an old pup tent that I managed to squeak use out of year after year and the old french tent always reminds me of it. That hash you ate looked pretty good indeed. I have a brother in Solliden Sweden and when I get to visit him I will threaten you with a visit...Happy camping brother.
Nice! Very Nice! ...my dear highwaltage kamikadz :-)! (Tampere girls - its enteresting...hhhh) Thanks for the video!
So appreciate your sardonic insights on modern life. As for the Chinese, when I was teaching there 26 years ago, my university students were almost incapable of going anywhere on their own, always traveling at least in pairs and often in threes and fours. When they asked what I did for fun and I said hiking alone in the forest, they were shocked at such an undertaking. "Teacher, aren't you afraid?"
The sense of security is a good point. Many factors influence, of course. On the outside this culture looks funny. On the inside they must have deeply-rooted reasons.
The funny thing is that compared to the Japanese, Chinese people are radical loners. In Japan the "group" is everything.
@@redlock4004 Well, as a waiguoren (barbarian) I only made sense to the Chinese when they saw my work unit badge and they knew to what group this "panda" -- i.e. exotic creature that must be cared for -- belonged. I should add, though, that the Chinese were very welcoming to us -- which was not the case experience among the Japanese for a fellow teacher who arrived in Sichuan straight from teaching in Japan. She said she was never allowed to forget she was an outsider there.
That is a big positive for The F2 tent. Might have to pick one up.
I bought the canvas F1, first night it rained on it for a decent while and it stood up good against water ingress, Im leaning away from nylon tents but the F2 looks good for dry winter camping
Great video thank you. Had to chuckle at the French military tent however. Don’t be surprised if you wake up and the tent is gone, may have surrendered. Easy I’m 1/2 French I can take shots like this!
Worked with French military twice in North Africa & once in Saudi Arabia during Gulf War. Pretty bad ass, as I recall. France's biggest problem, as with the U.S., it is with her ineffective leadership.
Haha. Actually have nothing but respect for French military, both modern and the traditional. Its amazing what a few surrenders do to reputation especially in this meme-age. Seriously speaking France has historically always been a conquering nation and has amazing military history. Also today they have a pretty big, efficient military that takes part in a whole lot of things. Greetings from Finland 👍
Still searching for that French Riviera experience with the pup tent?! Best way to avoid the condensation in that tent is clearly to freeze it solid!
Nice Brotha. I love watching your French Tent videos. I took mine out in a rainstorm and it held up well. Love seeing you have yours out in a snowstorm.👍
The quick shot of the knife looks like the knife is a US Marine Corps K-bar
You have keen eyes. It is.
Love your vids and humour! Well cut for the ADHD twenty something like myself, too many vids on TH-cam are 1hr plus of someone chopping firewood.
I appreciate this feedback!
Been looking forward to watching this vid' and with that sense of humour of yours I wasn't disappointed, bring on the party girls LOL 👍
Save the MRE heaters for emergencies if you're not going to use them for cooking!
It must be a Nordic thing, but you have the same sense of humor as your compatriot Bjorn Berge. Great video, I enjoyed it.
I love to hear your comments on life Pops. I look forward to your history comments and your trips.
Hello again my friend, I don't know if you really understand how funny you actually are . My hat is off to you ,that looked like an awesome trip .cold butt your so right about things , especially about that food lol cheers and good luck ☠👍👍👍⛏💙
Great camp ! I have enjoyed watching it thanks. Last year I have slept in snow and love how quiet the night was. Next month I am away for cycle touring from the end of Scotland to Inverness and I am hoping for some snow. Not as much as in Finland as this could make cycling difficult :)
First time watcher and not bad vid.Like your gear ,was thinking of getting a stove like yours.I’ll keep an eye out for more.
Thank you!
Nice to see you again in your snow kingdom. Thanks for the jokes. We have 39 degrees here tomorrow, the air con will be working overtime. Meanwhile your heater will be working overtime. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
👍 still loving the humour 😁👏
Another enjoyable vid ! I always enjoy your observations on life. If you want to try the cotton F1 version of this tent for less condensation, Military Mart in the UK has them available for £22.50 used but good condition. Not including pegs, they weigh 3.3kg. I spoke to them today before ordering mine and they have enough available for around 2 months at current sales levels.
I love your videos my friend. No nonsense camping. Great history lesson too. I’m not that hardy in winter camping. I live near the the blue ridge mountains around Lynchburg Virginia USA. I am learning from you. Thanks - no liberal here :).
Meals Rejected by Everyone - funny.
Actually MRE stands for 'Meals Refusing to Exit' thats when the depression and anxiety comes in....your a wild man amigo...kudos to Granny!...atb...woods
great video really enjoyed your content
Social commentary in the form of dry humor from a third-person point of view. The napkin was a nice touch too. Most entertaining video yet. Viewing twice. Best wishes to granny.
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate your feedback.
You are one tough guy Pop. Ever thought of doing stand up? Thanks for lightening my evening.
👍👍another great down to earth video
Ahhhh! The return of Helsinki-Man!!! Let me say, you look younger! It must be the abstinence and outdoor camping!! Also: thank you for the tour of your new neighborhood. It is interesting, looks like a fairly modern city, yes? You have to excuse me as Amerikaner we only get the propaganda channel, we are told that you all walk around in old heavy flannel coats and worn out shoes, and that everyone only has a can of sardines in their hobo bag for food!! I'm sure I will get flagged for some kind of discrimination; I apologize in advance!! Well, I really appreciate another great video; as I have mentioned previously, better than Annie Oakley or even Calvin and Hobbes! But you could sell the 'Helsinki-Pop decoder ring, and tweet out the code, which is actually the coordinates where your next survival episode will take place! Ausgezeichnet!!!
You make my day (video wise : ).. they don't make them like you anymore... A winter overnighter & UBER... very few people would have had the balls to pull this one off on a video.👍❤️
P.s.... thank you for the *education* on Chinese workers & factories....
Awesome mate i love camping in the snow we dont have much snow in scotland yet atb stuart
I'm hoping for another "Beast from the East" for Scotland!
Another great video Pop, thanks! Tampere without Musta Makkara? Wish that I was there.
Best wishes.
Indeed, I failed to present mustamakkara. That was a mistake. I need to make a note to myself!
Good video as always. Kiitos.
Good to see again pop : ) I greatly enjoy your vid's! Wow, snow... Hardly can remember what the stuff looks like. Over here in the Netherlands daffodils are already in full bloom near my house. Although the frost in the upcoming nights will probably kill them of.
I love the Finns and thier sense of humour and also thier ability to speak English as a second language which is as good as my first ......where is the best place to go wild camping in Finland and whats the best airport to start from....Great Video ...Thank you
Wunderbar video mein freund
Danke schön!
"Tampere party girls" 🤣🤣🤣👍
Hohooh, Tampere näyttää Helsingin lisäksi maan johtavalta kehittyvältä kaupungilta. Porista saa käsityksen, että neukkukuutioita rakennetaan eläkeläisille, jotka haluaa myydä lähiöistä omakotitalonsa. Ei vedä nuoria tyttöjä tämmöinen Party-meininki :-) Veljeni asuu Porissa...Kiitos kommentista!
@@Helsinkipop Olet noissa neukkukuutioissa oikeassa, itse asuin opiskeluajan Tampereella, hieno kaupunki mutta en tiedä oliko koti-ikävä vai mikä mutta jokin alkoi siellä tökkimään...
Death by power point. Haha
Nice on pop 👍
Unohdit taas esitellä teltan käymäläominaisuuden! Ilmoittele ens kerralla kun tulet kulmille ni käydään kaffella.
Sää saat tarjota, kun sulla on enempi katsojia :-)
@@Helsinkipop Sovittu!
Nice to see you again. Happy new year.
Thanks Pop.
Until the next one.
Awesome!
Enjoy your videos. Spent many nights in Espoo when I worked for US multinational. It was beautiful in midwinter. Hotel thought I was nuts spending time outside
Hey crazy Suomi-man! Crazy weather, eh? I just sat down by the fire outside Warsaw, nothing better to finish of cold than Outdoors. Too bad YT doesn't allow pictures in comments. Well, off to watch new video.
Oh my, you crack me up, funny man you are! P.S. You have a great imagination with the girls in stilettos and mini skirts! haha! Thanks for sharing your night out, hope those power lines didn't do any permanent damage! lol
Need a candle in the tent.
Winter camping is a blast!!! Here tonight its -22 Celsius with just 4 cm of snow
Or MRE: Meals Refusing to Excrete
Hoho, I'm learning new stuff. I may have to use this. I've got a couple of these MREs left.
@@Helsinkipop about a year ago I bought both the A and B cases in order to have the entire set of the 24 menus. I've gone through most of them by now and I'm thinking about ordering more. Not necessarily the most amazing food, but they sure come in handy on winter season campouts when I don't get out until after it's already dark.
Excellent as always! 😀👍👍👍👏
Yep looks cold 👍
Mouse Fart. Awsome hahaha
Cool. Love your subdued humor. "you can go to this church without risking being affected by the word of God". (or so?) Priceless bonus of your videos. :o) IMHO.
I was hoping, that you would make a winter storm video with this tent, as the few other "outdoor" YT'ers that I know have one, seem not to care about such things, and here it comes, and the tent seemed to do "OK to fine"? I think it is great to see these camping videos with cheaper stuff used, in sometimes well ....... "not so good weather", and see, how it actually often performs good enough, if the conditions are not sort of more "extreme". Expensive gear is nice and great, if it is, but the outdoors are most often free to use, and it is sad, if people think, that only the most expensive "brand name" equipment can / will give them a good experience, specially if "with not so much money in the bank"so to say. Nice day no matter what!!!
Thanks for this comment! A 40 dollar tent really performed well for its price! No need for 900 dollar tents :-)
Guess I'll just be saying what others have said, but your sense of humor pretty much totally meshes with mine. Don't be discouraged by millennial responses, they have no real life experience. They believe that just having a pulse is worthy of a trophy. (My apologies to the exceptions.)
Thank you! I appreciate this!
wow nearly as bad here in UK we've got at least an inch of snow
