Nordic Serenity: Huckberry Unveils "DIRT Finland"
Huckberry’s acclaimed travel and culture series DIRT returns with a compelling new chapter exploring why Finland is consistently crowned the happiest country on Earth. Marking a fresh era for the show, Jamestown Revival’s Zach Chance steps in as the new host, taking the wheel to guide viewers through the Nordic country during Midsummer—the magical season of the Midnight Sun—from the coastal forests outside Helsinki to the remote, wilderness-clad Arctic Circle in Lapland.
The narrative dives deep into the heart of Finnish lifestyle, anchoring its exploration in Jokamiehenoikeus (Everyone’s Right), an ancient law that guarantees public access to forage, wander, and immerse in nature freely across the country. Guided by celebrated wild food chef Sami Tallberg, Chance explores native foraging, organic rye farming, six-generation reindeer herding, and the cultural philosophy behind sisu—the uniquely Finnish spirit of grit and quiet resilience.
Between wild food harvests and deep-forest saunas, the journey highlights how traditional heritage blends seamlessly with modern Finnish culture. From testing wellness tech with the creators of the Oura Ring to joining the Solstice music festival atop Mount Ruka, the film captures an authentic portrait of contentment rooted in simplicity, connection, and deep respect for the land.
