Everyman's Right could be a populist movement, men's dating etiquette, or the name of a rock band. No, It's a legal concept giving everyone a chance to enjoy outdoor activities and collect natural products in Finland's forests, fells, lakes, and rivers.

There is nothing to worry about in the #Finnish #forests, except if you get too close to an #elk, get between a #bear and #food, step on a #viper, get bitten by a #disease-ridden #tick, fall on a patch of #stinging #nettles, get lost, or meet an angry #troll.
