Black Friday is here, and I want you to make me rich.

No, I actually do not want that you make me rich. Sure, you can support me on Patreon (which won’t make me rich, but very happy ????), but most of all I’d like you to consider if you need to shop this Black Friday – Cyber Monday weekend at all. Yes, discounts are steep again, gear got lighter and a fresh colour, but is your backpack at the end of its life or the tarp broken? If not, use the money you want to spend on gear on a hiking trip, like the European Trail Days in the end of May in Sweden. Or invest your £$€ into something that helps protect our environment, and support a NGO like Protect our Winters or 1% For The Planet.

However, maybe you need a new pack or want a lighter tent, and also a warm myssy could be useful for the cold days ahead. If you will go out and buy things this weekend please click on the links underneath to make your purchases, that way I will earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It’s an easy way to support your favourite Outdoor Blog in Finland, and you get the shiny new gear you want.

Thank you for reading and supporting me! Regular content will resume next week =)

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Dutch DEX-XL conference in The Netherlands. I’m trying to lower the barrier to doing talks and workshops by not making presentation “decks of slides” (for PowerPoint, etc.). I’m finding that, as we go through the talk, people have questions and instead of showing them how to answer them, when I have slides, I need to stick to the script and then do ad hoc stuff after. So, I’m trying to do more talks and workshops sans slides.

The challenge is that, if you’ve seen me present before, as the talk goes on, I get more and more excited about the cool topics and tend to speed up (I’m working on not doing that but it is so HARD!). This increase of presentation pace makes it difficult for some people to take notes.

Below are my notes on the content I covered in those workshops. They are not meant to be complete but, instead, to point people towards those tools, tactics, and techniques I demonstrated during the classes.

Multiple People Shot in Jersey City Shooting; Neighborhood Folks Celebrate and Harass Cops!

EMPs: Electromagnetic Pulses. To many preppers, EMPs are seen as the penultimate doomsday event. Be they a naturally occurring phenomenon or the byproduct of man-made superweapons, EMPs are theorized to knock humanity back to an Industrial Age state of being in a literal blink, or perhaps even worse. By disabling or destroying any electrical device that utilizes a circuit board…

Security overload leads to apathy. How often do you hear a car alarm go off and roll your eyes hoping the owner would disable the blasted thing before the incoming headache comes a knocking? The primary objection I have to such systems is they work too well. Every week I hear an alarm being triggered […]

Easily the toughest and most rugged of the Grand Canyon Park Service’s recommended day hikes, the Grandview Trail to Horseshoe Mesa is not for the faint of heart. The trail was built in 1893 by miners, and after a few minutes on the Grandview, you’ll realize that people were a lot tougher back then. The route is an engineering marvel, with steep cobbled sections and wood cribs hugging the cliffside that lead down to an abandoned mine site at Horseshoe Mesa. This day hike offers expansive views, natural beauty, and a break from the Grand Canyon crowds.

I read a headline the other day that said the average person is only able to last 4 hours around relatives at the holidays. That is pretty amazing. I think that is far worse than many years. I believe that … Continued
