Survival hike in the wilderness of Pöyrisjärvi without food ???? The Survive series is completed with the third part, the theme of which is survival in nature without food. My friend Petteri Veijonen @WildAdventuresNorth went with me to complete the challenge ???? We had relatively standard hiking equipment and fishing equipment in our packs, we just lacked food. Petter had salt, but in addition to salt, I also had electrolyte preparations, a few magnesium capsules and instant coffee. Here, the construction of a long-term base camp was not practiced, but a situation was simulated where the journey has to be continued despite the failure of the food supply. The original plan was to hike through the Pöyrisjärvi wilderness from Näkkälä to Kalmankaltio, but due to logistical difficulties, we started to do a circular loop from Kalmankaltio. Our day trips were about 10 km on average. For part of the time, we followed ATV tracks, which are also marked on the terrain map with dashed lines that reflect a path that stands out in the terrain. On the other hand, we hiked for several days completely outside the paths, crossing bogs, fell paths, cloths and small rivers. The idea was originally to put all the caught fish on an open fire using different methods. That way we could have added more practice and demonstration of batch traditions to the exercise ???? However, the forest fire warning forced us to only use a gas cooker. This made our pike diet even more one-sided, as the only method of preparation was boiling. Apparently, due to the drought, there was no information about edible mushrooms ???? Fortunately, blueberries, lingonberries and crowberries were found in reasonable quantities in places, although you could often hunt them by hand ???? On the second to last evening, we caught the first prized fish of the trip, a small grouper. We tasted it fresh raw, but we couldn't wait to leave most of it to etch overnight. In the morning we got to feast on a real wilderness celebration meal, even though it was modest in size ????
