What I carry
Updated October 2026. Nothing here is sponsored.
Cameras
| Item | Used for | Notes |
|---|
| Fujifilm X-T4 | Most things | Weather sealing has survived two wet autumns |
| XF 16mm f/1.4 | Auroras, forests | Sharp wide open, focus scale is useful at night |
| XF 50mm f/2 | Details, portraits | Small, rarely leaves the bag |
| Olympus OM-2n | Film, summer | Bought in 2019 for 120 €, still accurate |
Walking
| Item | Notes |
|---|
| Hiking boots, waterproof | Resoled once; bogs will find any gap anyway |
| Snowshoes, 25 inch | Enough for packed powder in southern Finland |
| Wool layers | Two base layers, one mid layer, never cotton |
| Thermos, 0.75 l | Coffee stays hot for about six hours at minus ten |
| Headlamp with red light | Essential from October to March |
Tripod
A small carbon tripod that folds to 40 cm. It is not very stable in wind, but a heavier one would stay
at home, which is worse.
