Backpacking Eagle Creek in Winter

13th February 2017 by Gilad Nachmani

Winter Backpacking in Winter

It has been a while since I have had a chance to sit and write: days have been elbow deep in sick kids, hysterical Portland snow and lots of work pushing my business, Cnoc Outdoors, to the next step. Because of all this, I also failed to even go hiking, but I still have a […]

2017 Outdoors Night Challenge For Parents

8th January 2017 by Gilad Nachmani

Solo walking the Ridgeway

I’m not a fan of doing end of year reviews or new year’s resolutions, but I am a big fan of planning, especially when it comes to upcoming trips. As a father to two kids under 3, a business owner (well, a start up) and a loving husband, finding time for going outdoors, especially overnights, […]

Yam le Yam trail Trip Report (Northern Israel)

10th September 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Walking the Yam le Yam

Last time I wrote about my plans to walk the Yam le Yam trail in northern Israel, despite it being the peak of summer, and how much I love this trail. The Yam le Yam is a truly Israeli classic and features some of the greatest that Israel has to offer in terms of flora, geology […]

Back to the keyboard and a look at hiking in Israel

3rd September 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Hiking in Israel in mid summer

After taking a bit of a hiatus from Outdoors Father, a new project came up that got me to deal, head on, with some old tricks that had been gathering dust recently. I grew up in Israel and started my outdoors experience hiking there, mainly stumbling across the country with all the wrong gear, not […]

Wrapping Up 5.5 Years of Walking in Britain

18th June 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

5.5 Years of Walking in Britain

Just over 5.5 years ago, in November 2010, I moved to the UK in search of a more outdoors-oriented life than what I had previously in Israel. This has been mostly successful, and I have enjoyed walking in Britain, exploring an extremely interesting island that surprised me in many ways and made me the walker […]

First solo camping with a toddler – a father on a mission

4th June 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Camping with a toddler

It seems that every outdoors enthusiast who has kids, has one goal: to get their kids to love the outdoors as much as they do. This is probably true not just for outdoors people but also sports fans, various athletes or anyone with a serious hobby. So it is not a surprise that I really […]

A new Cape Wrath Trail planning guide is out – and it comes in a bundle!

18th May 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Cape Wrath Trail planning

The hardest part of the Cape Wrath Trail is how challenging and demanding it can be, but second to that is planning for the trip. If you have ever considered tackling the Cape Wrath Trail, you already know that planning is extremely complicated with little information, scattered in many different places. After two years of […]

A Cape Wrath Trail gear list debrief

14th May 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

The right gear list proves itself

We all love gear lists, we do, it is just the way it is; but the real magic of a gear list for a long trip is when you get  back: checking what worked and what didn’t, what needs replacing and what outperformed your expectations. Before going on the CWT trip, I made my gear […]

A Cape Wrath Trail teaser – Fort William to Attadale trip review

7th May 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

Climbing a bealach between Fort William and Attadale

In early April I set out to walk the Cape Wrath Trail (CWT) in 8 days. I didn’t make it, but I did have an amazing walk from Fort William to Attadale in what I regard as the best CWT teaser I could have had. This section of the CWT starts at Fort William, walks […]

I took on the trail and the trail won – Why I failed to finish the Cape Wrath Trail in 8 days

30th April 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

One of the best views of the Cape Wrath Trail

Early in April I set out to walk the whole length of the Cape Wrath Trail, from Fort William to the Cape Wrath, in 8 days. My trip was set on lightweight principles, I was organized and prepared for a fully unsupported trip and my planning was perfect. Sadly, I didn’t complete my trip, for […]
