from Fly For It · host Andrei Potekhin
“You need to know what is the ACTUAL situation and what is the situation IN your head” -Mikko Meet Mikko. Mikko Kettunen is a former army instructor with +16 years of military scouting experience - so he is loaded with both mental and physical toughness. Currently, he is the company owner at Karu Survival which specializes in teaching bushcraft and survival skills in Finland. In all situations - Mikko’s 1# value is Honesty.
