I have long wanted to see and photograph wolves and bears in the wild and got the opportunity to go with a friend to an area where there are hides so that this can be done both safely and with some relative certainty of seeing the animals. Spending 7 nights in the equivalent of a small garden shed with a gazillion mosquitos for company was worth every second just to see all of these wonderful creatures and experience the long Finnish days. We were right on the border with Russia and it is the best place to see the European Brown Bear and Wolverine.
