Thanks for watching and sorry for the long speech at the end! I didn't mean it negatively towards any other creators, the TLDR version is, I hope that viewers could find these videos valuable (entertaining, useful, whatever) enough to THEM that they might consider supporting solely because of that. See you all in the next one! PS. If you're wondering about the snowfall, these videos are currently around 2 months behind real time.
I feel the same way. 80% of these channles use sex, deceit and constantly cry about something broken over and over to get money. They spend weeks out on the water only to have a 10 minute video or the put an exciting title only for the last 2 minutes to be what the title says. I started ignoring or hitting the not recommend the channel or have even reported as misleading. Those reasons are why i don't subscribe to any channels anymore. Your videos seemed to be down to earth and real, which i have only come across a few like yours. ❤
have you considered creating storyline for a video where the climax and resolution are split into a second video posted only for patreon subscribers to drive more patrons? would that provide enough incremental value for you to justify asking viewers to join patreon for you?
Juho, Sohvi, you two are amazing. Real people, good people, bringing adventure and joy to so many people. I send you both positive energy and well wishes and respect. Thank you for your beautiful videos. I can't thank you enough... 😊😊😊
Thank you so kindly.. I’m disabled. I love watching your videos. So entertaining and enjoy seeing places I will never get to go. I wish I could be there with you guys.. Great blessings to you both.. 😊
Your chat about funding was very informative and thoughtful. I started watching TH-cam during covid lockdown and followed sailing as my Dad and brother sailed. I love the freedom and adventure. You are absolutely right in what you say. Recently some of the channels I've been watching have taken delivery of these super new boats and are just swanning around living the life. I don't think they offer the same authenticity as channels like yours. So, well said!
Juho and Sohvi have captured a defined group of sailing enthusiasts or adventurer's with their channel. This highly defined sector are more than gracious to donate towards your exceptional presentation. Where else could we view sailing in Alaska during the winter months captured by your filming and editing capabilities. This particular episode was truly amazing and for one cannot thank you both enough. Bathing in the hot springs was breath taking and the trek was spectacular. We just hope that both you and Sohvi realize how lucky you are to thrive on this type of adventure. The honesty you both exhibit is beyond that of other channels.
I’ve always enjoyed you and Sohvi as you document your sailing adventures. I particularly enjoyed watching your episodes of wintering on the North coast of Iceland. A lot of people who watch these sailing channels do so with an eye to the romance of such an adventure. Your channel shows the determination, and dedication needed to successfully sail in extremely trying situations. Keep on keeping on good people, and I will continue to adventure vicariously on your journeys.
I like that you record the hardships as well as the easygoing joy of the cruising life. I’ll bet you explode once in a while😣! Your good nature is amazing. Love you and Sohvy.
Thank you for your honesty and integrity. I don’t have a lot of extra money but I do love your videos and it’s quite possible you will be my first Patreon receiver. If I can - I will. Stay happy and good. 🙏
You don't need to worry about anything. NO ONE does adventure like you two. Where else could we adventure through winter sailing, dingy rides, skiing and hot springs swims except through you. Love your channel and the music, quiet scenes you decide to include. I haven't ever subscribed to any you tube channel but I might join yours. Your channel is amazingly unique and beautiful.
Juho, you and Sohvi have more integrity in your little finger than the majority of the other sailing channels. When I can, I will definitely be sending some coin your way - because I really enjoy watching your content, and your videography skills deserve it!. Btw, absolutely stunning photography.
I would personally like to thank you and Sohvi for sharing your voyage with me. Your cinematography is absolutely astonishing. May the wind fill your sails and continue with this epic journey. Be safe, have fun :)
The sailing through the ice time-lapse was scary while breathtakingly beautiful. Northern lights are magical. Trapseing through waist deep snow to the hidden wonderland of isolated hot springs. 🔥 👍I worry for your safety on snow-covered decks without life lines. You know your comfort level, and I respect your judgment. Thanks for sharing.
I like your channel and it’s currently the only sailing channel I watch. There are no gratuitous bikini thumbnails - it’s just an authentic presentation of the sailing lifestyle in cold weather climates. Which is what we want to do with our boat eventually. We’re newer to sailing and I learn a lot from your videos while also getting to see the cool places you visit. I appreciate the time you put into it. It’s just really cool.
Hey guys, I listened to the chat at the end. I appreciate you want to be transparent and not rip viewers off. I e watched from the start. You do a great job taking us on your adventure to places I’ll never go. I love your videos & agree you have made it fair with the pay as you view via Patreon. People vote with their feet - we can stop payment anytime :). I’m continuing on and I don’t feel locked in at all. Thanks for clearly stating your intentions. Enjoy the ‘crowd’ following you 😊
Hello .This comment comes from a dedicated Hermit in the Himalaya .This information as offer of how far your content is reaching and enjoyed ! I cherish your content of snow, mountains, skiing ,water ,sailing .... .Being a European myself ,having lived close to the sea ,i miss the sea ,the smell ,the expanse of water ,sailing and moving adventures and enjoy your content very much ,during the times the SIM card connection works . Not having internet banking, credit card or extra money above survival rations ( already having giving away all I had extra ),I can not offer you money ,but herewith offer you my thanks and appreciation!!! I like your speech to a complex, sensitive topic as well . Thank you and may you and your adventure partner be well and stay well for decades to come !!!
.Solo sailors and couple sailors have alone time ,especially during watch, partly struggling with sleep patterns and other issues . The thought and emotional process in sailing can be smartly/consciously used for meaningful contemplation.A% of hermits on land voluntary reduce their sleep ,getting up before 4am each day, extending conscious contemplation time in several ways .Sea and land 'hermits' have to apply awareness/being awake, with a backup of trainable skills to respond to situations accurately.That includes looking honestly at what is happening ,avoiding to follow blindly compulsions, assumptions ,desire habits. Lot's to uncover/discover/learn and rejoice on that journey . Arctic sailing offers an esp. interesting/beautiful environment for above and this channel does a wonderful service ,worthy to receive donation contributions voluntary with thanks! That service might increase with more content on environment protection and with skillful offered insights on the interconnectedness of inner-outer environment . My thanks to both creators of this channel all the way from the Himalaya mountains .
I’ve been around boats all my life and now as an oldish man I’m reduced to a (lovely) barge on the river Thames UK. This video makes me sad for what I’ll never do now, but so admire the pair of you for doing it!❤ so many people never live for today 🤙🙏
This is one of the best and unique channels on TH-cam. and on the other hand, there are so many useless content creators with so much support and views...you guys are the best and deserve to continue
From a Norwegian Kiwi living in Europe, you are both adored. Stay authentic to yourselves; Rome wasn't built in a day...but they worked on it every single day! You are building it, they will come. Love and courage.
Fantastic channel. I've never seen anyone that loves snow as much as you guys. Being from the south, I prefer the heat and sunshine. But, it's great fun to watch you!
There is something special about traveling were others are not. It looks so peaceful if you are prepared for the conditions. Looking forward to your sail east.
Juho, you guys are the real deal. Don't see to many sailors with a metre of snow on their boats persuing their dreams. Keep doing it your way, it's honest and truly awesome. Love your work. 👍 Crowy and Ingrid
I was fortunate enough to stumble across your channel just as you were starting up and have been hooked ever since. It's not just the sailing or the skiing, it's the attitude too. You two are doing things just right, simple as that. Thank you.
My wife introduced me to Finland years ago. We had the good fortune of sailing there too. I always tell people it’s one of my favorite countries in the world to visit. Besides the natural Nordic beauty I find the Finnish people amazing. Highly educated with integrity. You two fit that 100%. I look forward to your future adventures.
I really appreciate your opinions on how some sailing channels exploit the market. I think it is a very fair criticism. And you and Sovhi are two of the most genuine people I know. I grew up in the north. My fondest memories of my youth are colored by the white of winter, with short splashes of warm summer afternoon's. Life is good when you have another log to put on the fire, and someone to help you stay warm at night. And someone to share adventures. I hope you find the support you need to keep going. I Hope Sovhi's PhD opens a new world of opportunities for her as well.
G-day you don't have to apologise I have been watching you two since you got the boat and the time it spent on the hard people follow you my because they like sense of adventure. People will chose to donate or not its ups them. love to you both from Australia take care stay safe. I enjoy your videos they are different you both make them that way I there would be a lot of your followers would miss em xx:)❤✌👍
Great video. You guys weather the cold naturally. I guess that’s the success and unique qualities to your channel. Thanks for taking us along from the comfort of our homes.
Thank you for the video! Especially the Northern Lights👍🙏It's so beautiful there😁that's so cool to be in that spring with a snow covered landscape 😁What happens at the springs , stays at the springs😁stay safe guys and thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Here is my take: I like you and I love what you are doing and how you go about it. I think you are honest and have integrity. In short, you bring joy to my life and for that I am willing to pay, and I also hope that you will make enough money to put some aside for your old age. Please keep up the good work - and Thank You.
Yes you are absolutely right about the other channels that try to grab funds by any means, but your channel has quality content that is worth paying for.
Juho, I fully understand your discussion on a model for sustaining an income stream to support your work. You really are one of the best. You never use those stupid click bait poses with a distressed look on your face and a title that sounds like you sank in the middle of the Atlantic but it was just a small window leak or the “we are so stupid, we did it again” we bought an abandoned boat for $1. You are genuine and do high quality work. Here’s one of your challenges. I’m retired, love your channel, but we already pay $300 per month for subscriptions. All US networks are going to streaming which adds cost for viewers. We have a daughter and two grandkids living with us too (an increasing trend in the US) so we have a lot of kids programming on TV and tablets. Point is, there is so much you’re competing against. Honestly, I’m ok with adds, if I had to pay a subscription for everything I watch it would be $1K monthly which is unsustainable for me. I don’t have an answer for you but as someone who worked at Discovery Channel’s parent, all the providers are struggling with how to reach their audience and still make money. You’re not alone.
I totally agree you never see a half naked photo of Sophie, which is so refreshing. I also appreciate the consistency of their thumbnails. No BS on this channel. It is completely authentic & extremely well done.
Right now, if I could only subscribe to 3 channels it would be 1. Captain Q, 2. Arctic Allure, 3. Wildings. Captain Q and Randy have a great shtick together, Juho, your photography is beautiful and your travels are the most unique and last, Mark at Wildings is just a likable guy trying to follow his dream. Given a fair price I would support those channels. I don’t know what fair is. I would support Project Duracell too. Matt is a master with fiberglass.
Oh wow! That’s so hard to wrap my head around while I’m dodging the sun and 90 degree F weather! That’s about 29 degree C? I think? You guys are just troopers with incredible determination and “can-do” attitude. Love watching your channel!!! ❤️⚓️
I live in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State) and grew up in a family that owned a 30-ft sloop built in Denmark. Though it wasn't designed for cruising, I have many good memories of our times aboard this boat in our local waters. I dearly miss those days sailing (I am 56 yrs-old now) and would have them in my life again, but the expense of buying and ownership are simply beyond my means at the moment. I have enjoyed watching your journeys in Lumi and am very grateful that you are sharing them online 😊
You hit the nail on the head. Some sailing/boating channels have one break down or catastrophe after another to try and get the viewers to send more money. I just hope some of those channels see this video.
@@TA-bs1hr I hate to call them by name, but one is trying to convert a sunken trawler into an Antarctic expedition boat. They have nothing but troubles either knew problems with the boat, pets are sick, or medical issues. They decided 2 years past the splash date that the engine was crap. Did a go fund me raised $30,000 which would have bought a new engine then bought an old engine to rebuild and are spending the money elsewhere. Still no new splash date as they keep changing things.
@@blimpcommander1337 OK. I am more sad than pissed about Brupegs situation. I find them really hard working and the ideology behind the project seems great.
I learnt to sail on the challenging West Coast of Scotland 45 years ago and am now 60. After that I did over 30,000 miles in the Atlantic, the Med and the Indian Oceon with my own 40ft boat. These days I enjoy sailing through channels like yours. Shameful clickbait on other channels just puts me off. I think your honesty is very commendable. Honesty is always the best option if you want to be true to yourself. I will contribute on Patreon. Good luck.
The apprehension in your voice during the speech was evident. I like your honesty and support your effort. You and your girlfriend are very enjoyable to watch. I only watch YT once in a while. Happy Trails
At the end I think the word you were hunting for is integrity which you have shown that you posses over the years. I am one of your older viewers who sadly lives on a fixed income that today barely keeps the lights on at home. I want you to know I do find value in your videos/work they're always well shot, explained and have good musical scores. That is why I watch every video and leave a like and comment as it's the least I can do and frankly all I can do. So please don't take my lack of patronage on one of the donation sites as a short coming on your part as that lies solely with me and my very limited funds. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
Subscribers helping sustain your journey enables your video productions. Plus, having a small reserve to be prepared for the unexpected expenses that are always lurking is completely justified and sensible
I always like it when the ad comes on: "Buy me a beer". It doesn't make anyone look poorer than they are, and everyone is reminded to give something back once in a while. I think your attitude is very noble, unfortunately the world usually works differently. I wish you luck with your approach, and maybe your following will be more sustainable than the others.
Epic! The Scenery, the sailing, the drone shots. And most of all, you guys are so sympaphetic, no bragging, no posing and showing off. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. Cheers from 🇨🇭🍻
Wow Juho, what an amazing shots! As always, the images are truly stunning and atmospheric. One of the main points I take from your explanation/plea: how ethical are you as a person. In this case in the production of content and in communicating to the viewers. In my experience you are at the extreme positive end of that spectrum. For me, it is one of the 2-3 reasons why I follow people.
Not only do I learn something new with EVERY episode (from forced air diesel installation to topographic map reading prep for strong winds) but I am mesmerised by how beautifully shot and edited your videos are, Juho. As a v early follower of your adventures on TH-cam, it's been an amazing progression and you deserve every single subscriber and more!
Thank you for your explanation of your views on revenue income, your peace and honesty are part of what make your videos worth watching. The wonderful footage of unusual places makes the videos so watchable. I recollect hearing of a large channel asking for donations for their child's education!
You are a part of a selet few YTrs with integrity. Integrity, honesty and empathy. I think I am of the same view as nearly everyone else when I say that we love you for what and how and why you do what you do.. and that... you are not just the best at what you do, you are the only one that does what you do..
Agreed, your attitude vis a vis contributions seem to be heathy/smart. I tend to contribute to my favorite channels by buying merchandise. Wearing one of yours today. Tks
I wish all the utube sailing channels were as honest and have the level of integrity that you and your girlfriend have. This was a refreshing video and I wish you all the best in your future adventures.
I watch very few channels on TH-cam. I watch you for your honesty, integrity, presentation, fun, respect, knowledge and how you treat your viewers and guests! I respect you. Thank You! Blessings!
Highlight of this video, Juho sitting in a hot spring with his hat on while informing Sohvi of the romantic setting they are sharing together. 😂😂☺️👍🤧. I think you two are extremely brave to be out there to start with, and cutting through ice plus taking on heavy snow is a little over the top! These places you visit are out of this world, and you should be one of the top sailing channels on TH-cam. Well, that’s my rant, I guess. I would love to hop over to Patreon and start some funding for you, but times are tight here. I haven’t worked in five years and don’t see that changing anytime soon. How is your work search going? I thought you might make an announcement about finding something. Well, if things haven’t turned around yet, maybe they will before the next video. I enjoy the comedy, navigation skills and problem solving of your channel, besides the beautiful areas you visit. Hope to keep seeing your videos!
What a truly spectacular place, and beautifully filmed. There must be endlsss hardships sailing in that environment but you never capitalize on it, you take nothing from the beauty of the places you go, so great respect to you for that. As far as I'm concerned, you more than deserve to earn a living out of what you do.
Spectacular videography and content organization. Your channel is not just a sailing channel. It is an adventure in and of itself that most people will never attempt. For that reason your content is unique and original. As a viewer I appreciate your honesty and humble approach. Thanks for sharing.
There's something about your adventures. It's absolutely authentic and entertaining. You bring adventure to It's top level. And you're a very humble man, with your heart and brain in the right places. Keep going ahead!
You are one of the most competent sailing TH-camrs as well as one of the most modest and honest. I am pretty sure that you upload more content for less income than most others as well. I cannot afford much more support than to subscribe, upvote, and comment. So thank you.
Some of the best content on youtube. Your channel and Erik's channel are entertaining, informing, and inspiring. Keep up the great work. Really looking forward to your journey further north.
Juho and Sihvi, excellent content from the very beggining!!! Showing sailing and skiing in extreme conditions, filming and sharing. No doubt you have lots of grateful viewers...
You'll never ever see me but "I see you" as we say in isiZulu. My favorite channel, boat and crew. No money but grateful to your supporters who provide for me.☝️❤️✌️🌍🙏
Lovely channel! I spent time in Alaska 35 yrs ago and those experiences have been a source of happy reflections ever since. Your attitude towards life, coupled with the beauty of AK, is a joy to watch. 😂😂😂. Thank you!
I love your channel! Been following for awhile and I have to say your cinematography and editing have become first class. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and safe travels:)
your honesty and integrity do you credit, from the viewers point of view, as an 80-year-old pensioner, I cannot afford to make regular contributions, but it gives me great pleasure to make the occasional donation, a £1 I donation from someone in my circumstances I feel is worth a lot more in genuine appreciation of the work you do, I have done most things in my life, including flying aircraft, and other exciting things, the one thing I have never managed to do is sail a boat, I never will now, but your videos allow me in a nice way to live my dreams, and for that I thank you.
If only you were in Brisbane Australia we could get you sailing before you know it Peter. Our race skipper is 83 and average crew age is around 70. We are like you because inflation eats pensions.
Ive seen several of your vids & commented on them similarly to this one - your work is AMAZING ! OUTSTANDING! INSPIRING! BEAUTIFUL! INTERESTING! DONT STOP!!! GO FINLAND GO !!!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
all that winter gear and you don't have snow shoes? this is probably your best episode. Sailing to a remote hot spring in the arctic? how classic is that? I haven't seen anything that cool even in japanese anime.
You two were the first you tube stars I’ve ever seen in person! We were hauling out at Astoria Oregon for a survey and you were launching. I’ve been following you for quite a while and am have enjoyed all of your videos. You are the rare example of quality art versus advertisement. It is rare and beautiful. Thank you for all your efforts. You are an inspiration! Hey Tenakee springs is a beautiful hot springs. I grew up not far from there. Enjoy and keep doing what your doing!
My wife and I have been watching your videos for quite some time. I want to thank you for sharing your journey. Many years ago, when I was in grade school, I became fascinated with the prospect of traveling the Northwest passage. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hi guys! Very much appreciating your transparency with TH-cam. Love you guys and what are you doing, wish you luck with the sailing and channel. Cheers from Estonia.
Love your channel, and your uniquely Finnish attitude (There is no bad weather, just inadequate clothing). Keep doing what you are doing, it's working.
Thanks for watching and sorry for the long speech at the end! I didn't mean it negatively towards any other creators, the TLDR version is, I hope that viewers could find these videos valuable (entertaining, useful, whatever) enough to THEM that they might consider supporting solely because of that. See you all in the next one!
PS. If you're wondering about the snowfall, these videos are currently around 2 months behind real time.
I feel the same way. 80% of these channles use sex, deceit and constantly cry about something broken over and over to get money. They spend weeks out on the water only to have a 10 minute video or the put an exciting title only for the last 2 minutes to be what the title says.

No apologies needed. You’ve got such a positive energy,
The adventure element of the planned passage is attractive, but not if it is unsafe.
Mikä musiikki tuossa filmin alussa soi?
Yours is not only one of the best TH-cam channels, you are also the most thoughtful and ethical person on TH-cam. You're a good man.
🙏
Totally agree!!!
Absolutely!
I agree too. The camera doesn't lie! You come across as so sincere and no drama. Love your TH-cam. Greetings from Ireland!
100% agree.
Juho, Sohvi, you two are amazing. Real people, good people, bringing adventure and joy to so many people. I send you both positive energy and well wishes and respect. Thank you for your beautiful videos. I can't thank you enough...
😊😊😊
Thank you so kindly.. I’m disabled. I love watching your videos. So entertaining and enjoy seeing places I will never get to go. I wish I could be there with you guys.. Great blessings to you both.. 😊
Another example of what it means to be authentic.

That shot of Miss Sohvi playing Peek a Boo over the rim of hot pool made our day.
I’m not a sailor just enjoy the adventure
I like that you record the hardships as well as the easygoing joy of the cruising life. I’ll bet you explode once in a while😣! Your good nature is amazing. Love you and Sohvy.
Thank you for your honesty and integrity. I don’t have a lot of extra money but I do love your videos and it’s quite possible you will be my first Patreon receiver. If I can - I will.
Stay happy and good. 🙏
This channel is a revalation. Thank you for making me dreaming again
You don't need to worry about anything. NO ONE does adventure like you two. Where else could we adventure through winter sailing, dingy rides, skiing and hot springs swims except through you. Love your channel and the music, quiet scenes you decide to include. I haven't ever subscribed to any you tube channel but I might join yours. Your channel is amazingly unique and beautiful.
Juho, you and Sohvi have more integrity in your little finger than the majority of the other sailing channels. When I can, I will definitely be sending some coin your way - because I really enjoy watching your content, and your videography skills deserve it!. Btw, absolutely stunning photography.
I would personally like to thank you and Sohvi for sharing your voyage with me. Your cinematography is absolutely astonishing. May the wind fill your sails and continue with this epic journey. Be safe, have fun :)
Your video quality and cinematography is getting so good. Thanks for taking us along.
One of the best sailing channels keep going and don't stray from your beliefs.
The sailing through the ice time-lapse was scary while breathtakingly beautiful. Northern lights are magical. Trapseing through waist deep snow to the hidden wonderland of isolated hot springs. 🔥 👍I worry for your safety on snow-covered decks without life lines. You know your comfort level, and I respect your judgment. Thanks for sharing.

Arctic sailing offers an esp. interesting/beautiful environment for above and this channel does a wonderful service ,worthy to receive donation contributions voluntary with thanks! That service might increase with more content on environment protection and with skillful offered insights on the interconnectedness of inner-outer environment . My thanks to both creators of this channel all the way from the Himalaya mountains .

The drone snow shots are AMAZING!
Fantastic channel. I've never seen anyone that loves snow as much as you guys. Being from the south, I prefer the heat and sunshine. But, it's great fun to watch you!
There is something special about traveling were others are not. It looks so peaceful if you are prepared for the conditions. Looking forward to your sail east.
I watch several sailing channels and yours has quickly become my favorite by far. Thank you!
Me too. After watching a few of Juho's videos I realised they were exceptional.
Thanks! Incredible videos of experienced sailors! Also, beautiful videography! Dominic.
Best episode ever. I’ll probably watch it several times. Your aurora video was emotionally stunning.
Hi from Sweden. You’re videos are by far the most genuine of all I’ve watched. Both of you seems to be very sympathetic and grounded. Keep it up.
Juho,
you guys are the real deal. Don't see to many sailors with a metre of snow on their boats persuing their dreams. Keep doing it your way, it's honest and truly awesome.
Love your work. 👍

I hope you find the support you need to keep going. I Hope Sovhi's PhD opens a new world of opportunities for her as well.
G-day you don't have to apologise I have been watching you two since you got the boat and the time it spent on the hard people follow you my because they like sense of adventure. People will chose to donate or not its ups them. love to you both from Australia take care stay safe. I enjoy your videos they are different you both make them that way I there would be a lot of your followers would miss em xx:)❤✌👍
Great video. You guys weather the cold naturally. I guess that’s the success and unique qualities to your channel. Thanks for taking us along from the comfort of our homes.
Thank you for the video! Especially the Northern Lights👍🙏It's so beautiful there😁that's so cool to be in that spring with a snow covered landscape 😁What happens at the springs , stays at the springs😁stay safe guys and thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Here is my take: I like you and I love what you are doing and how you go about it. I think you are honest and have integrity. In short, you bring joy to my life and for that I am willing to pay, and I also hope that you will make enough money to put some aside for your old age. Please keep up the good work - and Thank You.
Yes you are absolutely right about the other channels that try to grab funds by any means, but your channel has quality content that is worth paying for.
Juho, I fully understand your discussion on a model for sustaining an income stream to support your work. You really are one of the best. You never use those stupid click bait poses with a distressed look on your face and a title that sounds like you sank in the middle of the Atlantic but it was just a small window leak or the “we are so stupid, we did it again” we bought an abandoned boat for $1. You are genuine and do high quality work. Here’s one of your challenges. I’m retired, love your channel, but we already pay $300 per month for subscriptions. All US networks are going to streaming which adds cost for viewers. We have a daughter and two grandkids living with us too (an increasing trend in the US) so we have a lot of kids programming on TV and tablets. Point is, there is so much you’re competing against. Honestly, I’m ok with adds, if I had to pay a subscription for everything I watch it would be $1K monthly which is unsustainable for me. I don’t have an answer for you but as someone who worked at Discovery Channel’s parent, all the providers are struggling with how to reach their audience and still make money. You’re not alone.
I totally agree you never see a half naked photo of Sophie, which is so refreshing. I also appreciate the consistency of their thumbnails. No BS on this channel. It is completely authentic & extremely well done.
Right now, if I could only subscribe to 3 channels it would be 1. Captain Q, 2. Arctic Allure, 3. Wildings. Captain Q and Randy have a great shtick together, Juho, your photography is beautiful and your travels are the most unique and last, Mark at Wildings is just a likable guy trying to follow his dream. Given a fair price I would support those channels. I don’t know what fair is. I would support Project Duracell too. Matt is a master with fiberglass.
@@jameskiehm546 Leo, _Tally_ ~ _Ho_ ?
@@hrhplease9119remember Juho is Finnish - so it is more likely to see Juho with no clothes than Sohvi. 😅
I donate because your videos are a kind of therapy for me so thanks for that.
The hotsprings and the snowy surrounds look magical :) Glad you managed to find them.
Oh wow! That’s so hard to wrap my head around while I’m dodging the sun and 90 degree F weather! That’s about 29 degree C? I think? You guys are just troopers with incredible determination and “can-do” attitude. Love watching your channel!!! ❤️⚓️
I live in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State) and grew up in a family that owned a 30-ft sloop built in Denmark. Though it wasn't designed for cruising, I have many good memories of our times aboard this boat in our local waters. I dearly miss those days sailing (I am 56 yrs-old now) and would have them in my life again, but the expense of buying and ownership are simply beyond my means at the moment. I have enjoyed watching your journeys in Lumi and am very grateful that you are sharing them online 😊
You hit the nail on the head. Some sailing/boating channels have one break down or catastrophe after another to try and get the viewers to send more money. I just hope some of those channels see this video.
What are these channels? I seem to have happily avoided them :D
@@TA-bs1hr I hate to call them by name, but one is trying to convert a sunken trawler into an Antarctic expedition boat. They have nothing but troubles either knew problems with the boat, pets are sick, or medical issues. They decided 2 years past the splash date that the engine was crap. Did a go fund me raised $30,000 which would have bought a new engine then bought an old engine to rebuild and are spending the money elsewhere. Still no new splash date as they keep changing things.
@@blimpcommander1337 OK. I am more sad than pissed about Brupegs situation. I find them really hard working and the ideology behind the project seems great.
I agree. They are staged. I have stopped watching those some time ago. New breast implants is hardly what a sailing chanel should be about
The drone shots and video quality are off the charts. Thank you.
I learnt to sail on the challenging West Coast of Scotland 45 years ago and am now 60. After that I did over 30,000 miles in the Atlantic, the Med and the Indian Oceon with my own 40ft boat.
These days I enjoy sailing through channels like yours.
Shameful clickbait on other channels just puts me off. I think your honesty is very commendable. Honesty is always the best option if you want to be true to yourself.
I will contribute on Patreon. Good luck.
The apprehension in your voice during the speech was evident. I like your honesty and support your effort. You and your girlfriend are very enjoyable to watch. I only watch YT once in a while. Happy Trails
At the end I think the word you were hunting for is integrity which you have shown that you posses over the years.
I am one of your older viewers who sadly lives on a fixed income that today barely keeps the lights on at home.
I want you to know I do find value in your videos/work they're always well shot, explained and have good musical scores.
That is why I watch every video and leave a like and comment as it's the least I can do and frankly all I can do.
So please don't take my lack of patronage on one of the donation sites as a short coming on your part as that lies solely with me and my very limited funds.
Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
I too am on a fixed income and feel the same way.
Beautiful people.
Beautiful boat.
Beautiful views.
I tell everyone I know about your channel.
The most original TH-cam sailing channel!! Amazing!
You deserve an award for videography, sound and editing. You make it seem easy... like magicians and acrobats.
Proud to be a Patreon 💪🏽
Subscribers helping sustain your journey enables your video productions. Plus, having a small reserve to be prepared for the unexpected expenses that are always lurking is completely justified and sensible
You guys have done a lot of hard work. I hope that you are successful. Thank you for for your sincere comments.
I always like it when the ad comes on: "Buy me a beer". It doesn't make anyone look poorer than they are, and everyone is reminded to give something back once in a while. I think your attitude is very noble, unfortunately the world usually works differently. I wish you luck with your approach, and maybe your following will be more sustainable than the others.
Epic! The Scenery, the sailing, the drone shots. And most of all, you guys are so sympaphetic, no bragging, no posing and showing off. It's a pleasure to watch your videos.
Cheers from 🇨🇭🍻
The ice breaking capability of your sailboat is amazing!
That was a good episode, as always. A shot from your drone during the heavy snowfall was amazing as well!
We could never do what you are doing! Only warm climes for us. It's beautiful where you are and we love seeing it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow Juho, what an amazing shots! As always, the images are truly stunning and atmospheric.
One of the main points I take from your explanation/plea: how ethical are you as a person.
In this case in the production of content and in communicating to the viewers. In my experience you are at the extreme positive end of that spectrum. For me, it is one of the 2-3 reasons why I follow people.
You two belong up there. I can’t imagine the dreadlocks in the tropics! You would sweat to death.
Hello from Australia! Your work is amazing!
Not only do I learn something new with EVERY episode (from forced air diesel installation to topographic map reading prep for strong winds) but I am mesmerised by how beautifully shot and edited your videos are, Juho. As a v early follower of your adventures on TH-cam, it's been an amazing progression and you deserve every single subscriber and more!
Thank you for your explanation of your views on revenue income, your peace and honesty are part of what make your videos worth watching. The wonderful footage of unusual places makes the videos so watchable. I recollect hearing of a large channel asking for donations for their child's education!
You are a part of a selet few YTrs with integrity. Integrity, honesty and empathy. I think I am of the same view as nearly everyone else when I say that we love you for what and how and why you do what you do.. and that... you are not just the best at what you do, you are the only one that does what you do..
Agreed, your attitude vis a vis contributions seem to be heathy/smart. I tend to contribute to my favorite channels by buying merchandise. Wearing one of yours today. Tks
I wish all the utube sailing channels were as honest and have the level of integrity that you and your girlfriend have. This was a refreshing video and I wish you all the best in your future adventures.
What an incredible job you both do with the videos....and as the camera never blinks it's clear that you are both quite special.
I watch very few channels on TH-cam. I watch you for your honesty, integrity, presentation, fun, respect, knowledge and how you treat your viewers and guests! I respect you. Thank You! Blessings!
Highlight of this video, Juho sitting in a hot spring with his hat on while informing Sohvi of the romantic setting they are sharing together. 😂😂☺️👍🤧. I think you two are extremely brave to be out there to start with, and cutting through ice plus taking on heavy snow is a little over the top! These places you visit are out of this world, and you should be one of the top sailing channels on TH-cam. Well, that’s my rant, I guess. I would love to hop over to Patreon and start some funding for you, but times are tight here. I haven’t worked in five years and don’t see that changing anytime soon. How is your work search going? I thought you might make an announcement about finding something. Well, if things haven’t turned around yet, maybe they will before the next video. I enjoy the comedy, navigation skills and problem solving of your channel, besides the beautiful areas you visit. Hope to keep seeing your videos!
I think we were all chuckling at that point. What wonderful people.
@@rcpmac I look forward to these a little too much, I think. They are a great couple and the sailing, to top it off, is the best.
Hahah it was romantic😅😅❤❤
@@sohvikangasluoma9519 I love the deep snow and drifts. To find a hot spring in that would be heaven to me too. But the hat-👍😂😂😅🤣💯😇
You are creating magic videos. I like so much your modest personality. It is so refreshing to see videography of such high quality.
Watching from Florida in June…what a contrast. Beautiful scenery, northern lights and commentary. Keep it up!
What a truly spectacular place, and beautifully filmed. There must be endlsss hardships sailing in that environment but you never capitalize on it, you take nothing from the beauty of the places you go, so great respect to you for that. As far as I'm concerned, you more than deserve to earn a living out of what you do.
Spectacular videography and content organization. Your channel is not just a sailing channel. It is an adventure in and of itself that most people will never attempt. For that reason your content is unique and original. As a viewer I appreciate your honesty and humble approach. Thanks for sharing.
There's something about your adventures. It's absolutely authentic and entertaining. You bring adventure to It's top level. And you're a very humble man, with your heart and brain in the right places. Keep going ahead!
Love your stile, your down to earth attitude, and your integrity.... and the video is absolutely wonderful. Reminds me why I love snow.
You are one of the most competent sailing TH-camrs as well as one of the most modest and honest. I am pretty sure that you upload more content for less income than most others as well. I cannot afford much more support than to subscribe, upvote, and comment. So thank you.
Some of the best content on youtube. Your channel and Erik's channel are entertaining, informing, and inspiring. Keep up the great work. Really looking forward to your journey further north.
Juho and Sihvi, excellent content from the very beggining!!! Showing sailing and skiing in extreme conditions, filming and sharing. No doubt you have lots of grateful viewers...
You'll never ever see me but "I see you" as we say in isiZulu. My favorite channel, boat and crew. No money but grateful to your supporters who provide for me.☝️❤️✌️🌍🙏
Good choices in the music for this video. It really sets the mood
I love the long form, keep them coming!
Lovely channel! I spent time in Alaska 35 yrs ago and those experiences have been a source of happy reflections ever since. Your attitude towards life, coupled with the beauty of AK, is a joy to watch. 😂😂😂. Thank you!
You are getting so much better each time with recording and editing! Keep up the good work and enjoy!
I love your channel! Been following for awhile and I have to say your cinematography and editing have become first class. Thanks for sharing. Have fun and safe travels:)
its about sponsorship, but i hope free to watch will not stop, You have Awesome content which is addictive to watch
your honesty and integrity do you credit, from the viewers point of view, as an 80-year-old pensioner, I cannot afford to make regular contributions, but it gives me great pleasure to make the occasional donation, a £1 I donation from someone in my circumstances I feel is worth a lot more in genuine appreciation of the work you do, I have done most things in my life, including flying aircraft, and other exciting things, the one thing I have never managed to do is sail a boat, I never will now, but your videos allow me in a nice way to live my dreams, and for that I thank you.
If only you were in Brisbane Australia we could get you sailing before you know it Peter. Our race skipper is 83 and average crew age is around 70. We are like you because inflation eats pensions.
Is it freshwater sitting over the salt of the ocean that creates the ice so quickly?
You guys are the real deal!! I love the content and how you approach everything, many more years please :)
I don't even like sailing and your video ended up in my feed and I have been watching since the purchase and refit! Amazing content. OBX, NC, USA
Ive seen several of your vids & commented on them similarly to this one - your work is AMAZING ! OUTSTANDING! INSPIRING! BEAUTIFUL! INTERESTING! DONT STOP!!! GO FINLAND GO !!!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
all that winter gear and you don't have snow shoes? this is probably your best episode. Sailing to a remote hot spring in the arctic? how classic is that? I haven't seen anything that cool even in japanese anime.
Impressive and both of you very brave!! Please continue with the videos, I am every week waiting for you!!
You two were the first you tube stars I’ve ever seen in person! We were hauling out at Astoria Oregon for a survey and you were launching. I’ve been following you for quite a while and am have enjoyed all of your videos. You are the rare example of quality art versus advertisement. It is rare and beautiful. Thank you for all your efforts. You are an inspiration! Hey Tenakee springs is a beautiful hot springs. I grew up not far from there. Enjoy and keep doing what your doing!
a small blower might be helpful if you are going to be sailing in snow in the future. Love your videos. Keep it coming
My wife and I have been watching your videos for quite some time. I want to thank you for sharing your journey. Many years ago, when I was in grade school, I became fascinated with the prospect of traveling the Northwest passage. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hi guys! Very much appreciating your transparency
with TH-cam. Love you guys and what are you doing, wish you luck with the sailing and channel. Cheers from Estonia.
Love your channel, and your uniquely Finnish attitude (There is no bad weather, just inadequate clothing). Keep doing what you are doing, it's working.
Wow some of the coolest drone shots.
Wish I were there.
Its a privilege to share your journey. God bless
