Here is my updated Continental Divide Trail gear list for 2022. There’s a handful of new additions compared to my previous gear lists, but the most prominent is probably the camera setup, which saves me about 400g (14,11oz). Big 3 + sleeping pad HMG Southwest 3400 Backpack UGQ XL-Bandit Quilt UGQ XL-Bandit 10*F/-12*C Zpacks Duplex…
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…
This year I am only able to do a small hike – Padjelanta leden (Padjelanta trail) as I am saving up for my Thru-hike of the Continental Devide Trail in 2022. so this is my Padjelanta Trail gear list The setup is pretty similar to my Arizona setup, minor changes in clothes. I will be…
“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…
This is my Kungsleden 2019 gear list.As my Gear list was pretty dialed in after my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike in 2018, not much-needed change. But I did change a few items, mainly my backpack, and my tent, as I wanted to try my luck with something Ultra Light. Next thing you know, I will…
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…
This is my Kustleden 2019 Gear list (Skåneleden – Coast to coast). As my Gear list was pretty dialed in after my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike in 2018, not much-needed change. But I did change a few items, mainly my backpack, and my tent, as I wanted to try my luck with something Ultra Light….
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…
