Gear Review – Mountain Equipment Ibex Pants

8th August 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

The Ibex Pants on a coffee break

Outdoors trousers is such an under treated item that it is almost shocking. You don’t really read many gear reviews or great stories about trousers, but when asked, everyone have their very favourite – a specific brand, pockets configuration, material and more. I too have my favourite trousers (or pants, lets go with pants): the […]

Gear Review – Minim 400 Sleeping Bag

18th July 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

Sleeping in a bothy in my Minim 400

A good sleeping bag is probably one of the first things most people upgrade in their quest for better gear; and not surprisingly, a good sleep can really make or a break a trip. I also think that a sleeping bag should be the first big investment towards a lightweight backpack as it is the […]

Gear Review – Ergobaby Performance

16th May 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

25th March 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

The MSR Reactor system is an integrated stove and pot cooking system aimed at mountain sports and cold weather activities. As a system aimed at the harshest of conditions it is extremely efficient and robust. Released at 2007, and since then been a controversial stove – it can deal with very strong winds and low […]

How to approach gear reviews

20th December 2014 by Gilad Nachmani

Gear reviews are probably my main use of the internet by now. I’m guessing this is a problem for any gear head, and outdoor gear heads are not any different. We want to upgrade, replace, change, have another or just-in-case kit for anything, so we read reviews. We read reviews from small one person blogs, […]
