So this is a bit silly, but I wanted to post in case anyone else enjoyed this as much as I do.

I love UnReal World of course -- it's great and makes you feel like you're really there.      A couple of years ago, I randomly stumbled upon a Swedish public access stream on twitch -- a stream of their yearly Elk/moose migration across a river in Spring.

If you have a second monitor, it is the perfect pairing for a session of UnReal World.    It's very relaxed and slow paced -- it's a bunch of cameras set up 24/7 during the season -- so you get a lot of laid back time with just Swedish nature noises and wildlife, in addition to quite a few nice Elk sightings as well.

It's obviously Sweden and not Finland, but there are scenes that coincidentally wound up as a more or less 1:1 construction of what I was doing in UrW at a time.   A video of a pine mire filled with grouse with the ambient noise combined with actually hunting grouse in a pine mire in UnReal world just feels really good.

Luckily they record these sessions and upload them on their website -- link to one of the videos below:

(I can't hyper link as this is a new account -- I hope it's okay to include this here!  just paste that in and you're off to the Swedish wilderness)

They have well over a hundred hours of this stuff, and it's perfect to set the mood for this game.

This is actually something they show also on national tv in Finland.  Suuri Hirvivaellus (in finnish), translates as "the great elk migration".
Been watching it at times, and such a nice idea to accompany it with playing the game.
