Hey guys,
I'm visiting my girlfriend's parents in finland on tuesday, and I'll be there for one month. I really want to flyfish/Tenkara and do some backpacking with the girlfriend but I don't know where to start. I'm a hammock camper, so I would like to buy a tent. Are there any serious hiking/camping shops in finland? (I assume there are, I didn't find one last time I was there.)
I also emailed Hendrik from "hiking in finland" but he never got back to me. I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,

Here's some, they all have B&M store along with the web pages but it depends a lot where you are staying.
Trekki http://www.trekki.fi
Partioaitta http://www.partioaitta.fi
Retkiaitta http://www.retkiaitta.fi
Varuste.net http://www.varuste.net/en/maa.asp?_id=15You probably can get some discounts and taxfree buying might be available too if you are from outside EU.
Here's a nice site with possible hiking destinations in case you did not know it already :)

I don't think im going to go backpacking. However I'd love to go fishing. I do have access to a car as well. I'm staying in Helsinki.
Appreciate your help.
