Hei, I have just gotten to my uncle Henracks home. I had to get there by train which was very fast. We passed through a tunnel that was 9 kilometers long! The train was traveling at 93 Kilometers an hour. It took one day to get there but I think it's worth it. When I got there my uncle gave me a long hug and he also gave me a hot drink and he walked me to his home.
My uncle said that he has found my grandfather Simo's journal from his days in the snow. It says that he already served his required 1 year in the military, but after 8 years as a farmer, the Russians invaded and he decided to help the Great Country of Finland by becoming a sniper. He would pack snow in front of him and use a Mosin Nagant M28 and later had Soumi K31 SMG. He only used iron sights because a scope would fog up. But no matter what you say, my grandfather was the greatest sniper to ever live.
On another subject, I went moose hunting with my small cousins. We saw one moose, but it was a female so we could not shoot it. My uncle Henrack was a really good moose hunter which is a very respected sport in Finland. Finland is the champion in many outdoorsmen sports like hunting and fishing.
Näkemiin!
Fredrik
