Working on the Best Backpacking Food Menu

6th February 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

The most traditional backpacking food there is

Planning a good menu for backpacking food on an outdoor adventure is usually pretty simple: some trail mix, a couple of freeze-dried meals, a few energy bars, some morning mix (usually porridge) and you are set. The problems begin when we add any of the below elements to the trip: More than 3 days – […]

Cape Wrath Trail 2016 – blurring the line between backpacking and ultrarunning

2nd January 2016 by Gilad Nachmani

The Cape Wrath lighthouse - the end point of the Cape Warth Trail

Last May I walked the Cape Wrath Trail, which had been one of my goals ever since I got to the UK; needless to say it was an amazing adventure, but it caught me off guard. I was partially unprepared, partially overwhelmed and mainly – I didn’t quite make all the way: I skipped a […]

Trail vs Route – which one is for you?

10th October 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

Ultralight backpacking – it’s in your head, not your gear

26th September 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

All the kit you need for ultralight backpacking

Gear Review – Ribz Pack

19th September 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

Ribz frontpack

Sometimes we get hooked on weird gear, really, just the weirdest things that there is a good chance you’ll never need – unless you do? I got the Ribz under with the idea that I think I’ll need it, not sure how, but I want it. It is a very odd pack, and I get […]
