    How to find hiking trails near you

    July 30, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Of course depending on where you are but you can find hiking trails all over the place. Lets dive in what I always use to find hiking trails near me in the Netherlands and beyond. When starting out hiking you go to the trails that are familiar. The ones that your grandparents and parents started out with, or the ones that you like to walk. But after walking a same route a couple of times you start looking for other trails near and close. The Klompenpaden Where I live in the Netherlands there is a abundance of hiking trails around me on the Veluwe. It just takes a short walk…

    Different kinds of shoes and boots for Hiking

    July 11, 2019 / 0 Comments

    There has been a change in the hiking industrie concerning boots. It used to be until very recently that you went for the big heavy boots like the Meindl Borneo boots for hiking. I started out with them when I first got into backpacking and hiking. Sinds then I have moved away from the heavier pieces of gear and lightened my backpacking load from 15 kilograms to 8 kilo’s. This change in my loadout also makes that I don’t really need the big boots anymore. When your loadout is lighter then the heavy shoes don’t make sense anymore. But there is still a use for them. I concentrate on long…

    If you are going camping and hiking your are going to sleep in your sleeping bag. With a sleeping bag there are a few tips to stay warmer during the night.

    July 9, 2019 / 0 Comments

    The Veluwe is a green belt in the Netherlands where a lot of the forests are, this is a popular destination to go camping and spending time in nature. While plenty of people live in the Randstad in the Netherlands they often seek escape or go visit family in the Veluwe. Hiking on the Veluwe is a popular activity and there are a lot of different hiking trails there. Summer is always a good time of year to go hiking on the Veluwe.

    AegisMax Ultralight Sleeping bag – Good and cheap

    July 7, 2019 / 4 Comments

    When composing the camping gear or gear for a Camino like I did you have a lot of things to add to the list. The sleeping bag is a big part of any list. When you finished with your list and calculate the cost of all the gear then it could be a bit scary. Tent – 400 dollars Rucksack – 200 dollars Sleeping pad – Another 100 dollars Sleeping bag – 90 dollars? In just a couple of items on your gear list you can rack up quite the bill, but with your sleeping bag things can get very expensive real quick. When looking for a sleeping bag you…

    The story of my The North Face Horizon cap

    July 4, 2019 / 1 Comment

    A hat or cap is a necessity in my opinion while hiking. It keeps the sun of your head and out of your eyes. It covers your bad hair while hiking so you can look semi decent, and its something I can get attached to more than any other piece of clothing. This blog post is a love story at first sight and I know its a silly topic, but I will give you the reasons why I love this cap so much. So bear with me. My The North Face Horizon hat I got when I first started working in a popular outdoor store in the Netherlands. I was…
