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?
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.
Another example of what it means to be authentic.
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.
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.
One of the best sailing channels keep going and don't stray from your beliefs.
Your video quality and cinematography is getting so good. Thanks for taking us along.
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 drone snow shots are AMAZING!
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 !!!
Y r u in the mountains so removed from society? More clearly, y did u do that ??????
Best of luck!
Please make a TH-cam channel of your life !!
.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 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.
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. 😅
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.
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.
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 annoying thing with Alaska is that you have to beat up a grizzly bear to get fresh salmon for lunch🤭
You guys have done a lot of hard work. I hope that you are successful. Thank you for for your sincere comments.
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-👍😂😂😅🤣💯😇
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 🇨🇭🍻
Thanks! Your content is great! Your drone footage is phenomenal! We love how you’re keeping it real. Sail on!
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!
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.
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 🤙🙏
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?
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!
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.
Hello from Australia! Your work is amazing!
Thanks! Incredible videos of experienced sailors! Also, beautiful videography! Dominic.
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 👍🙏
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
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:)❤✌👍
Best episode ever. I’ll probably watch it several times. Your aurora video was emotionally stunning.
Proud to be a Patreon 💪🏽
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.
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.
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 congratulate you on the quality of the photography in your delightful programme.
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.
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.
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 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 hotsprings and the snowy surrounds look magical :) Glad you managed to find them.
I love the long form, keep them coming!
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
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.
Wow some of the coolest drone shots.
Wish I were there.
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.
That was a good episode, as always. A shot from your drone during the heavy snowfall was amazing as well!
Fantastic thumbnail pic👍
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 !!!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I think you DID capture the Northen Lights. Brill!
as a pensioner i have followed you from your early days on you tube and look at your videos over more than once, i and am sure that many folks agree with what said as i do; we folks are aware of what some are up to after one or two views. i thank you very much for your hard work on your magic video,s be safe and stay well
The most original TH-cam sailing channel!! Amazing!
Great video and thanks for sharing your thoughts and philosophy. Your boat is always looking cosy and spacious with good light. Never sailed myself but it looks like a wise choice.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Believe me as a sailor the choice of LUMI a Garcia 46 was an inspired choice.
Thanks! Love watching your videos from my warm comfy chair in Alberta Canada.
whoa, thanks so much!
If you ever start crowdfunder for snowshoes, i'll donate. You've done such a hard work reaching this hot springs :) fair winds and a feet of water under keel!
I donate because your videos are a kind of therapy for me so thanks for that.
Watching from Florida in June…what a contrast. Beautiful scenery, northern lights and commentary. Keep it up!
And the drone shots in this video were incredible.
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
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
Great show amazing ice and snow ; keep safe guys
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.
I enjoy your content so very much I am from Australia we don’t have anything like what you do ,I think you are great, and you are true sailors not just motoring from island to island
a small blower might be helpful if you are going to be sailing in snow in the future. Love your videos. Keep it coming
Love your stile, your down to earth attitude, and your integrity.... and the video is absolutely wonderful. Reminds me why I love snow.
Yes, I'll join the patreon. I live on a sailboat in north Carolina. I'm from Colorado. I miss the mountains and snowboarding but the sea was calling. You are an inspiration. Thanks!
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.
Simply fantastic!
I haven't got the financial means to support you, as I have my own projects, but I will watch every second of your videos to give you as much view as possible... ❤
Where are your snow-shoes! Would have made that trek pleasurable! Love you guys!
Impressive and both of you very brave!! Please continue with the videos, I am every week waiting for you!!
I think you are an honest person and thank you for your honesty keep the good work going.
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.
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:)
Awesome video. I love watching your videos of sailing and exploring the colder climates. What a refreshing change. My 13 year old twins both have your hoodie sweatshirts and love them. How many languages can you speak?
Beautiful people.
Beautiful boat.
Beautiful views.
I tell everyone I know about your channel.
Thanks for the wild videos. I get nervous sometimes but you obviously have excellent judgment and knowledge of sailing.
Awesome scenery and your video does it justice!!
Absolutely gorgeous view 👍
Here in the northern Midwest US, we love the Swedes, and we love you too. You and your girl. Good videos good content. Good times. happy new. Year!
You deserve an award for videography, sound and editing. You make it seem easy... like magicians and acrobats.
You guys are the real deal!! I love the content and how you approach everything, many more years please :)
I have been following along since you started sharing I love the content you bring and the honesty you share it with! This video was one of my favorite what a journey 👍👍
Two words … Genuine authenticity!
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
Fantastic video! Masterful job of capturing and sharing an amazing story and journey! Thank you!! WOW!
Great, beautiful videos. I have always enjoyed your videos. Keep them coming and stay true to yourself. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you. 😊
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
Thanks for uploading. I feel less lonely watching your videos. PS, enjoy the inside of your boat, maybe a cooking video sometime :)
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.
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.
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 😊
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!
I love the drone footage! That’s such a great thing to have. It strikes me that you two really love the cold. Reminds me of when you take a Siberian Husky to the snow, the pure joy they have in being in there natural element. You guys are that way too. As for your editorial at the end, I do wonder if some of the channels are taking advantage. I think I can tell those that are. My own donations are based on the value of the entertainment and information I receive from the channel. I tend to enjoy the channels that have some educational content and not just about having a good time.
Ps.I know nothing about sailing... Learning from you. Never been out to sea except for A fishing charter in Mexico. Just loved looking at Ocean and watching butterflies dipping on water!.
Your are good human, more like you is desperately needed… keep up the good work!
Thanks!
This made me nostalgic for winters in Michigan when I was younger and we got a lot of snow. Thanks you for the real life views of the inside passage to Alaska.
And me for Buffalo! ❄ I’ll never forget x county skiing after a storm over these humps that turned out to be buried cars
