The useful pillow trick

Kimmo taught me a very nice travel and hiking trip. It turns out that if you get a box wine, you can drink the contents (this is the useful part) and then reuse the plastic bag inside the cardboard box as a pillow. It is easy to blow up, has already a valve installed. And most importantly, it is just the right size for a nice neck support while resting on rock somewhere hiking, during the night (inflated maybe a bit less), or on an airplane (you may need to drink it before the flight). Thank you Kimmo!

We were in the Pitsköngäs waterfalls for the above shot. Resting on a boulder. 

Pitsusköngäs is the highest free-fall waterfall in Finland, 17 meters high. Doesn't sound that high, but it is very impressive. It is however in the middle of nowhere. 

We were on our way somewhere else, but our first leg to get here was by helicopter (Heliflite). Quite a ride, coming in the weather was quite marginal. See my other article about the waterfall for the flight video.
