  A salute to my brothers in west. There's been so much videos online about Finland (and I'm Finnish) but we should't never forget about our Viking brothers in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. They are as resolute as us. And if that something hits the fan as we say, we are proud to be side to side with these guys. Hopefully still we can sit in sauna side by side and just enjoy our life in peace. But always prepared. Fina Hjältar!

  they walked the extra miles partially to honour a fellow mountain jaeger who died on an exercise. it says 'In memory of Carl Ekbring' at the end. He fell and died in an avalanche in '23 at Mt. Kebnekeise, Sweden's highest peak. (I'm pretty sure - can't find the article wo a pay-wall)  🤙

  Polite, quiet, kind, non-aggressive, no bravado, no chest thumping, no flag waving, no loud mouthed ”patriotism”. Just a firm commitment to carry out the mission. These are real soldiers, real humans. Tack killar för att ni försvarar oss!

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clQDzX2d-RU&amp;t=457">7:37</a> you can see one of the soldiers has the Edelweiss on his arm, meaning he&apos;s been to the German mountaineering school which is pretty cool!

  The Patrol leader Oscar been doing this for over 10 years. He&apos;s a beast. He Also trained in the Austrian alps for 9 months, so he has the edelweissen.

  Where I live North of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, in Jokkmokk, we have an annual ski race out there .. 220 km in one go. The Nordenskiöldsloppet. The all time record is way below 13 hrs.

  I read a interview with the team leader Oscar and he said that his body almost went into shock and having a fever when he sat in the car on the way back, since his body was so used to moving and skiing all the time so the body didn&apos;t know how to react to just sitting still.
