Way back in 2020, I headed to Arizona with the goal of hiking the Arizona Trail, even though Covid-19 was busy shutting everything down. As you might guess, that plan didn’t exactly work out—when the Grand Canyon closed, so did my chances of completing the trail. Now it’s 2025, and I’ve decided it’s finally time…
For my CDT 2022 thruhike, I “needed” some new items, or at least that’s what I tell myself 🙂This is a quick overview of my new gear for Continental Divide Trail 2022 (CDT) My gear is pretty much dialed in at this point from previous hikes, so these items are really just minor changes, except…
“I am going to do a post about my favourite hiking items” I thought and started my process of thinking about what items to put on it. This turned out to be way harder than I thought! Every item in my backpack is carefully researched and chosen and a lot of the items I used…
Battle of the Big Agnes Copper Spur Vs Duplex from Zpacks. This is my attempt to explain why I don’t think one is better than the other – boring right? 🙂 Let’s start at the begnning. When I back in 2017 decided that I wanted to thru-hike The Pacific Crest Trail, I had never done…
Being a photographer and loving to thruhike is a pain in the butt! it’s a constant compromise to find a camera that will provide good enough quality but still not weigh too much as my base weight is an important factor (or at least I still try to convince myself that).Which let me to a…
Like I wrote in an earlier blog post I decided once again to upgrade my quilt to a warmer one, just to make sure that I wouldn’t get cold on my hike across Scotland (which I never actually did because of COVID-19). So I ordered The UGQ XL-Bandit Quilt. These are just my first impressions…
This year I will be hiking the Arizona Trail and doing The Great Outdoor Challenge (TGO Challenge).This is my hiking gear for 2020 New acquisitions Once again I got a little Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) and swapped out some og the items in my hiking setup. Vargo Titanium Flint Lighter Totally accidental I stumbled upon…
The Pacific Crest Trail was my first long-distance hike, actually, it was my first real hike ever, so when I started planning, I had no gear what so ever, which meant I had to buy everything. I spent months researching and reading about gear 🙂 During my researching, I realized that most of the gear…
As you might have noticed (if you didn’t I will be totally disappointed! what kind of hiker trash are you then?!) I am not going to use my Thrupack Summit Bum for the Kungsleden trail. In 2018 when I thru-hiked the PCT, I rocked the Thrupack Summit Bum all the way, and absolutely loved it!At…
When I started my thru-hike of the PCT back in 2018, I used a quilt for 11 days until I changed it back to a mummy bag. I simply could not stand the draft every fracking time I moved around during the night. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over…
After my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2018, I started to look at other backpacks to find something lighter than my Osprey Exos 55 – which I was very happy with on the trail! But trying to see if I can lower my base weight, I need to look at my tent, backpack…
Planning a long distance hike is in itself a large undertaking, but being a photographer and knowing that I will be taking a TON of pictures, and at the same time planing on Vlogging on a daily basis, presents some challenges, specifically how to handle Storage for videos and pictures. Choosing the right camera I an…
Now I got my gear dialed down to what I will bring on the PCT. So this is my setup for the PCT – almost 🙂 I still need to buy water storage (I bought the Cnoc Vecto water bladder, but the first 2 I got leaked water) and water purifier – which will be…
Sony Nordic donerer en stak memory cards. Sidste opslag på dansk! 😉 Promise Sony Nordic sponsorerer memory cards til turen. Tirsdag morgen, klokken er 8:43 og jeg er på vej ud af døren på arbejde, da min telefon ringer. Fra ukendt nummer. Fedt nok, så er telefonsælgerne på jagt igen. Men nysgerrig som jeg jo…
Picking a camera is tough enough under normal circumstances. Once you figure out what you need it for, you’ve got a world of options—just pick a price range you’re comfortable with, and from there, it’s all about personal preference. Most cameras in the same category perform pretty similarly anyway. But now, imagine you’re traveling. Suddenly,…
