thanks for watching! the website is here: http:/www.alluringarctic.com And as you all know, these videos are crowdfunded 😉 www.patreon.com/alluringarctic

Never ever apologize for having a life beyond UKposts and making videos. You have a life, you have jobs and you're doing your best. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and for sharing your lives with us!

We’re here for the quality not the quantity. Exceptional video production. I can’t stand the bikini sailing crap. It’s just Alluring Arctic and TallyHo. Carry on!

For me, AlluringArctic is unique among sailing and adventure vlogs. Your Northwest Passage episodes are keenly awaited. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I think you are correct : better good interesting videos than many boring ones !

The beauty of Alaska always brings a sense of awe, no urban congestion just raw nature

First of all, you are the owner of your life, so no need to excuse yourself. We are grateful to share some moments of your incredible experiences in areas that we just dream about. You are very lucky to have such an exciting life with a beautiful and intelligent partner that shares your aspirations.

Tell me you’re from Finland without telling me you’re from Finland: „I‘m here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by“. Nicely summarized and gave me a good chuckle 😁. A fellow finn.

Upping my Patreon membership level to $50/month and encouraging others to do so as you and Sohvi get ready for the North West Passage. I applaud you staying in the moment, and not filming every moment.

Several sailing channels start out ok, then sailing content goes away and it becomes bullshit drama. Appreciate your efforts and many thanks.

I certainly understand your reasoning for not wanting to spend your time pumping out videos. The videos that you do produce are of such high quality that they are worth the wait in my opinion.

"Turning it into steam" Finns never pass up on the opportunity to have a sauna 😁

Live data being transmitted from the boat would be called 'telemetry' data. You just do as many or as few videos as you feel like. They are such high quality gems of beauty and exploration that they are well worth the wait. Live your own life. You only get one. Your videos are the only ones that I share on social media, because your cinematography, your wide variety of skills, adventurous spirit, and sensitivity to your beautiful surroundings make your videos jewels of the UKposts world. So you just do you.

Don't sell yourself short Juho. Some of us very much appreciate you providing voice to your thoughts. For instance, "I'm here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by". Bravo!

As an 80 year old life-long sailor landlocked in central Missouri I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks

Love how Sohvi feels about her jumper collection,always looks so warm and just beautiful jumpers😊

The best ski scenes of any sailing channel I know! Glad the boat was ok when you got back.

THE DOCTOR CAN SHRED!

Super happy you have a frequency that suits your life. Always delighted to see a new video, whenever it comes.

"I'm here just sitting on the beach to watch the ice float by" To me that humble sentiment superbly sums up the best philosophy for blending with Nature and staying true...and that's why I watch your videos. Thank you and I'm looking forward to following your Northwest Passage and Greenland journey.

HH coats with duct tape patches on them, the sign of an experienced Arctic sailor.

Juho, you should consider creating merchandise with the logo of that favorite motto “let’s go” of yours and maybe include Sohvi’s ✌️wave as well. 😉

hershey's is like bad coffee, it is fine until you try the good stuff. You do you, I'll watch when you put something out. The scenery is amazing. No need to compare yourself to other sailing channels. Everyone has their own motivation.

I'd much rather watch one high-quality video once a month from you than 4 from some of my other channels because you never disappoint. The drone shots with music are just incredibly well shot and edited, hands down world-class footage.

I love when you speak your native language!

Nice to hear you guys communicating in your native language. I love the drone shots of the mountains, the boat, and the downhills, well done.

Hi guys, you shoot some of the very best videos on U Tube. The nature shots are great and then to get the ski content as a bonus is just great value. I’d take your quality over quantity every time.

Another beautiful episode! Can anyone solve the snowboard mystery for us - Sohvi goes up in skis, comes down on snowboard...never see both on way up or down!

9:43 "The first obstacle of the day..." That was a comical coincidence 😂

"I'm here to sit on the beach to watch the ice float by" is a statement that 99% of sailing youtube cannot comprehend. 😂

Truly an impressive video. I realize these videos take lots of time and erroft to produce. Thank you. My wife and I sailed oceans together for over 55 years. Great experiences, however we almost always stayed between 40S and 40N. You guys are incredible. Your lady/crew is DOUBLE incredible. HOW do you get her to stay??? 😂

I like that your videos show what it’s really like and not this perfect false reality that other sailing channels do. Glad to see you guys back aboard. Boat faired well considering the weather and wind conditions. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

Sohvi's smile always makes my day!! You put out just the right amount of videos ... don't change a thing!

The average sailing yootoober would have taken a camera all over Finland for the two months you were back home. I like the mystery. We don't need to meet your uncle and cousins or experience shopping in a Finnish supermarket. Thanks for sparing us. Enjoy the beauty,

I'm envious of Sohvi's woolen sweater collection! She has good taste in design and comfort.

I agree. Hershey's is to chocolate what Miller Light is to beer.

Taking pictures and videos and sharing their beauty with friends and family is much more humane than generating content for the masses. I have a hard time believing that the people that watch sailboats sailing in winter are the typical UKposts sailing demographic. There is a serenity to the north-woods that is mystical and alluring. Once you glimpsed that spark it is hard to not be drawn back to it over and over. I am really excited to come along on your NW Passage. What an adventure that will be. Fair winds!

Good to see you back on the road. Not many sailing channels have a ski shop onboard. 😎

I have to tell you that I watch quite a few sailing channels, and yours is the only one I am a patreon of. I completely agree with your philosophy that anyone sending money to a channel, must rate the quality and content of the video, making it worth paying to watch. I supported Leo with Tally ho, but he now has enough viewers that I decided to rather give you my patronage. as I now live on a 32ft Aries in Knysna Lagoon South Africa, with a plan to sail up the east coast to Madagascar and beyond, having rented out our house, we like to get tips from people making videos about what it is like to live on a yacht. I am 72 and almost 2m tall, so it is a challenge with such a small boat, but that is all we can afford. So, consider yourself lucky that a poor man like me, with shit currency, rates your work highly enough to actually pay for it. I hope this comment of mine will give you some small boost ,that what you do is interesting and well produced. I look forward to your future adventures in the North West Passage. Cheers, Alex

11:02 this is one of the reasons I love your channel! Your channel is the only one I’ve seen with sailing and skiing in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing this with those of us stuck in suburban life!

Integrity, I will take that over a weekly video anytime. Amazing footage, story and editing! Thank you

I like your honesty .. "I just abandon all my responsibilities" 😄

Phantastic pictures again. So peaceful. Good words of yours. Your life, your choices.

Your videos are unique in a sea of sailing videos that push for weekly uploading, regardless the fact that those videos are actually empty. I don't know financial background of UKposts, but I support your decision to post when you have good and interesting material. Keep your god work.

I enjoy all your videos and respect your decision to not be a slave to your channel. Srick to your principles! We will be looking forward to your Arctic passage.

Re: video release. It’s all good releasing videos with great content. Much happier watching good content rather than watching lesser quality. Enjoy the trip! We will too.

You two are subtle powerhouses ... don't change a thing ... very special videos, and one of a kind really.

It is wonderful you are sharing your journey with us. Please don't ever feel you have to produce a weekly episode. Quality over rides quantity every time. Keep doing what you are doing it makes your channel refreshingly different. Cheers Eric

Your grocery bill seemed like about enough to cover two weeks worth of food, in Alaska. Beautiful scenery!

keep sitting on the beach my friend ..best sailing channel on youtube ..

I'm with you. Sit on the beach and watch the ice float by. I don't need to know where you are itching or what you had for lunch. Too many vids just ramble on about nothing. I'm here for the adventure and scenery. Really like your photography.

Quality over quantity, I much prefer a video that has interesting content than one that is made to keep the algorithm happy.

Hey Juho, easily the best sailing YT channel for scenery and stunning locations. I’m not a skier but even I love your skiing / snowboarding sequences and the photography/ videography and drone work are the best! Love a few little technical sailing tips thrown in occasionally but please just keep doing what you’re already doing. Infrequent, high quality videos are so much more engaging than the torrent of rubbish that is so common on other YT channels. Very much looking forward to seeing your journey through the northwest passage. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia.

I’m not sure if you realize how unique, original and beautiful your videos are. There are so many videos that are very much like a hundred others but yours are very different than most others. Not only that but they are really interesting. I enjoy them very much and am among the others that would like to see more but I honor your choices and we will see them when we do. God bless.

I totally get your top 3 reasons. If I could paraphrase it, you're more into creating something worthwhile the effort. That is sooooo evident in your cinematography. I'm beyond excited for the trip through the NW passage this summer! Thanks for taking me along.

I totally understand your reasoning for quality content. I once again started watching for a while. I can't stop. the great scenery and the non-bikini content just keeps me watching!

You are the best sailing channel. Thanks.

Create as many memories for yourself as possible and go your own way. That time will never come back. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

Even tho you release 1 video a month I don't mind. Generally they are longer than your normal sailing channels and diffrent due to the mix of skiing and sailing. I have to say your camera work is awesome and also your choice of music is good. I always enjoy your videos. Enjoy life mate. Do what ever makes you happy :)

This is such a beautiful way to report a true adventure through icy wilderness

Appreciate that you guys ditch the drama and just show what we are all here for - awesome scenery and real sailing. Kudos

Your best video yet? amazing scenery. You do not need to apologise for being different, That is why I watch your productions

I love that your adventures are in the attic or cold climate. Everyone else films the same old tropical landscape. Your on a whole other level ❤

Thanks so much for the adventures!

This is like having a planet to yourself. What a place.

Your videos are high quality compared to many other youtubers. Looking forward to more, once a month or so :-)

15:37 looks like the ice sheet with Lumi is floating above the mountains! 😍

You have 🎿 other locations. You always have solid content that nobody can repeat

Fish and palm trees are nice, but you bring us great adventures with beautiful scenery. Keep doing what makes you happy. If it doesn't make me happy, that's my problem. It is wonderful to watch. Keep it up and a little more would be ok as well.

"I'm here to sit on a beach and watch the ice float by" The wisest words I have heard for a very long time. I really have great respect of you! I'm sorry not being able to sposor you in any way. I am a poor pensionist with troulbble to stretch the money for every month, but you deserve all the sponsorships you can get elsewhere. Love from Denmark

Thank you a million times! I just love your videos! Thank you! I get to travel with you guys from Paris's suburbs and it is absolutely amazing! I personaly don't care how many videos you do per months, whenever you feel like it, just keep sharing! Wishing you all the best for all your futur adventures!

Great video as usual. Scenery is spectacular. Once a month quality is all we need. Safe travels...

Thank you for taking me on this journey. I have never experienced this type of landscape.

Hi sailors I’m in Alaska, love your channel. I’m 57 years old out of back surgery. Love your videos are and how honest you are describing things. Even the American chocolate, I taught downhill and sailed years ago, your life looks like heaven too me. So cheers even if we don’t get too sea or see you as much thanks for sharing 😊

Don't worry and no need to explain why you will be doing 1 video a month. Your photography, commentary and editing is world class and combined with the awe inspiring places you film in we can certainly wait for your fabulous vlogs whenever you wish to publish one.

I think you are absolutely crazy to love the winter. I moved from Sweden to Australia to get away from it. Your videos are very beautiful and I enjoy watching the snow, the ice and the cold from here! Keep them coming!

You are the best channel. Always genuine and interesting.

Love your videos! Quality is always better than quantity and drama. Be safe and enjoy your lives. Looking forward to your next adventure😊

Agree completely about getting priorities right. Also about American chocolate.

I've missed your videos. You're in such stunningly beautiful scenery and doing things no one else is doing. I understand you not wanting to spend your every waking hour making and editing videos, but when we see the end product, they are on a level that far surpasses other sailing channels. Excellent video as always

Ice, damage, cold, heart break, triumph, this is Alaska ! You two embrace it as true exporers. This is one of your best vlogs yet. (and yes,Dr Sofie makes it great, has she any snow and ice research going ? She was itching to dig in that avalanche i bet )

Each of your episodes brings tranquility to a troubled-world.

you be you and sohvi be sohvi, im sure thats what most of us like the most. your vids are of exceptional quality and always 100% interesting. stay true dudes...lovin it

Your videos are very unique to the sailing cruising world. The snow and ice and the effort involved doing what you do is very interesting. I look forward to your posts. Sohfis pullover also a nice look. Some of the best Nordic style I have ever seen.

About the first layer of ice on saline water. It has less salt because the molecules of water prefer to hold hands with like molecules rather than salt. It's a process of crystallization and is a legitimate means of purifying water especially in the arctic where the cost of refrigeration is low. :-)

It's going to be a great adventure 😊

Keep doing what you are doing and produce quality over quantity! I love your style and really appreciate the level of cinematography you deliver!

What a way to beat the ski crowds…. Just an amazing adventure you are on. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Fantastic scenery. Good to see you are back on the slopes again.

Good to see the boat navegating again.

Staying to the inner roots is a good and precious thing, Juho. Don't apologize for anyhing and just be yourself, cuz anybody else is taken already anyway, huh!? ;)

Spectacular! I appreciate your view of UKposts production, I think you are spot on with your balance. Please take in your experience fully and share it when you can. Regarding Sohvi’s sweaters, they are almost as Devine as she is. Take good care of them.

Good to hear from you guys

The bubbly side of Sohvi's personality came out in this video, put a smile on my face. And you look SO much more handsome without a bulging hat full of dreads. Very much enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing. :)

One of my favorite channels ! Good content and sometimes less is more. Not a bunch of silly fluff. Always look forward to each episode.

My life is busy so I really enjoy sitting with you and watching the ice flow by. You might be surprised in the positive reaction to more of less!

Nice shots of the boat while underway Juho. Thanks for sharing.

27:33 The best advertisement for Feastables😅

Huikeaa matskua Juho! Thank you . World class, unique, impecable quality ❤

I get sad seeing Creators stressing over the frequency of production. It doesn't matter. Just beautiful to see in lovely small doses like good chocolate. Thank you.
