Final checks before leaving on an expedition

30th May 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

All you need for a great expedition

Going on expeditions is all bout maximizing efficiency, but prior to going, especially if it is all self organized and implemented, things can be forgotten. This is not just about packing, we also need to remember to take care of electronics (inevitable in this day and age), give our body some extra support and fill […]

Menu planning for Cape Wrath – an update

18th April 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

Efficient breakfast as part of my Cape Wrath menu

Cape Wrath update – parenting adjustment

24th January 2015 by Gilad Nachmani

Being a parent outdoors

The plans to go to Scotland and hike the Cape Wrath are going in full speed: time off was booked, gear adjustments are happening slowly (slower than I hoped) and training is ongoing. The big problem is the clash between my training program and the reality I need to deal with: I’m a father to […]

Cape Wrath – update 1

31st December 2014 by Gilad Nachmani
