Why you shouldn't ditch your old merinos! The new life of your under garments! Long live merino under garments! I had a lot of fun headlines for this post. But in short, it all comes down to up-cycling old woolen clothes.
Fresh snow is magical in many ways. Personally I'm very found of the whispering sound of skiis through the soft powder snow. But it's also awesometo get yourself out, trodding, on snow shoes or skiis to track widlife. In the snow lies "facebook of the woods" for anyone to read if curious, inquisitive and accurate.

Today I'd like to share with you how to build a safe and traceless fireplace. This is part of our Campfire hike, but the knowledge is to important not to be shared. I like this type of fireplace. It has low edges, so the heat spreads nicely and you can dry clothes by it, warm yourself while you cook....
There are many benefits sleeping outdoors. In general we sleep much better (once we get used to it), we reset broken sleeping patterns and releases stress. To some, it's no big deal. But for others, the step, between the bed and the sleeping bag in the woods, is a huge one to take. In my last post I...
To stay the night outdoors, is a fun project and an easy way to get more time in nature. Some even make it a challenge, to sleep outdoors one night per month.
