Overview
Welcome to my page all about (ultralight) trekking and hiking! Here I'll be posting new (short) tours, packing lists & information around the topic of traveling on a regular basis. Have fun browsing, Kai
Quilts
Quilts are in principle the logical UL evolution of sleeping bags. A quilt is a kind of blanket with a foot box. By saving the material on the back, which would be compressed by your body weight anyway and therefore cannot insulate, the same insulation as a sleeping bag is possible at a lower weight.

Groundsheets
The main task of a groundsheet is to protect you and your sleeping bags/quilts from moisture. For all variants, the rule is: the higher the water column, the denser the material.
Bowline
The bowline is a useful knot for creating a loop. This loop does not tighten even under load. This way, for example, a strap can be lengthened.
Topsail Sheet Bend
The topsail sheet bend is a very useful knot. This knot forms a sliding loop that does not tighten under load. Thus, this knot is an ideal replacement for line locks and enables quick adjustment of tarp or tent cords.

Sleeping Pads
To isolate yourself as well as possible from ground cold (referred to as conduction in English literature), an insulation layer between the body and the ground is needed.
