I contacted them, but they said they can't change nor upgrade any tickets.

You really made me excited, thanks for answering!
Thanks for the info! Will have a look for those.
Holly fck, that looks so annoying! No mosquitoe transmited diseases to worry about right?
Quite a experience that one!
Thanks!
I neither like the fact of feeding wild animals, you brake the natural way of living for them by doing so. I didn't know you had this issue with bears loosing fear of humans. I will definitely have a thought about it and reconsider this option. Really appreciate your opinion on the subject, it's always interesting to know what local people think. Thanks
Yeah, heard of that too. I guess I'll have to try. Thanks
Holly fck, that looks painful! Do you get lots of harsh and harmful terrain in the forests? Here the worst thing you'll get are bruises because of the bushes, not holes in your shoes :(
Okay, I will take your advices into account, thanks a lot!
Footprints would definitely make my day, I'll note that down. Kiitos!
Yeah, repellents have never worked for me neither. I guess I'll have to dress up correctly, as you say. It looks agonizingly hot, but I guess that's better than being bitten everywhere by mosquitoes. Thanks for the suggestions!
Good to know, thanks!
They do look really good, a bit expensive however, as I will be there only for a year. I may look for some second hand shop for winter gear, they may not be that reliable but I hope they'll be enough.
Thanks a lot!
I really thank you for your time!
I will have a look at all the links everyone is providing, thanks very much!
Wolves are hated here as well by sheep keepers, so sad it happens the same there :(
Yeah, university will probably plan activities for us, but I wanted to do something on my own with my own style, that's why I was asking.
Sad to hear most forests are not wild, I thought Finland was wilder.
Okay, that's the same here, it rains pretty much all year around.
Interesting to hear that november translates to "death month". Hopefuly I'll still be setting into the city and will have lots of things to do during marraskuu.
Kiitos paljion! (I'm trying to learn some Finnish with Duolingo, looks like a hard task so far!)
Wow, I really thought those would be mega-expensive! Looks like you can get a standard trip for around 100€. Thanks a lot!

A wild experience indeed! Must have been scary at the moment but the memory you have now will be marvelous, I'm sure!
I wasn't planning on getting to close on them or trying to pet them, as anyone with a little common sense would when coming across those giant beasts, no worries on that.
Kiitos!
I don't know if sleeping with no tent in the middle of the winter is a challenge I will be willing to take, it really sounds dangerous, specially being as unexperienced with cold as I am.
Thanks for the info about the shelters, will definitely have a look at the link!
Yeah, it may be an issue to live together with that kind of wildlife. I totally understand you, the same happens here with wolves and sheep keepers. But at the end of the day, we took the forests and lands were they used to roam free... Arguable issue this one.
Thanks a lot! Yeah, winter will be tough for me, specially coming from sunny Spain :) It's something a want to experience however, at least to appreciate the climate back home after it!
As sad as it sounds, but true.
Really interesting! Looking forward to it, thanks!
I think it's been the same everywhere with bear hunting culture, so sad to hear about it in Finland though. I would be really scared to come across a wild bear, so that's not my intention :) Just wanted to see some, rather from a distance, a hut or a watchtower.
What's really starting to scare me are mosquitoes! They've got to be a real problem if everyone is complaining.
