Electronics

There are a lot of unessesary gadgets out there. In this category I will write about some useful electronics for the outdoors.

Solarpanels

Beeing on the trail means that you are off the grid. So keeping your devices charged is a difficult task. Even with solarpanels you have to calculate your energy consumption, the time between charging on the grid, the weather and other factors. To extend your possibilities solarpanels could be an option. In this category I will review some solarpanels which are used by me. I will test the weight, energy generation to identify when a solarpanel is useful and when a normal powerbank is the better option.

Powerfilm Lightsaver

Over the lasts months I was experimenting solar chargers to keep my electronic devices charged while I’m on Tour.  During my research I found the Powerfilm LightSaver. The LightSaver is a mobile charging solution, which combines a solar panel with an integrated battery pack in a small package. This Package weighs 137 grams or 5 ounces and suits perfect the ultralight backpacking approach.

interview

I was interview a few weeks ago. The interview was held by Laarni, one of the blogger from MightyGoods.

The interview was about the different aspects of ultralight backpacking. I answered questions about the gear I usually carry, the gear which is non ultralight but still carried by me and what are my favorite destinations.

Thank you!

Thai Curry

On my last hikes, I prepared various Thai curries with great enjoyment. Since the ingredients used can be obtained in dried form at Asian markets, these dishes are ideal for trekking trips.

Pasta with Tomato-Cheese Sauce

My list of meals suitable for trekking is getting longer. This dish has the advantage that the bulky, fresh ingredients can be replaced by freeze-dried ones. Therefore, this dish is also suitable when provisions for many days need to be carried.

2018-07 In the Taunus

What a beautiful weekend! Morti invited a few selected forum members over to his region for a small overnight tour. Unfortunately not everyone could make that date, so we were only a small circle. Besides the host, Konradsky, his wife and I were along. Even before the tour began, Morti warned us that we would have to tackle some steep slopes. We were also supposed to carry water for both days, since there would be no opportunity to refill along the way.
