Home Safety

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 […]

Good bye summer, welcome AUTUMN ????????! Crisp nights, colourful forests and fjells, no mosquitos and the stars at night – autumn is the best time to go backpacking!

Support me on Patreon and get some useful rewards (like hanging out on Discord with me, and Discount codes for kit from partners!) or buy me a coffee – I work Full-Time on Hiking in Finland to bring you inspiring trip reports, in-depth gear reviews and the latest news from the outdoors. You also could subscribe to the rarer-than-ever Newsletter and follow along on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube for more outdoorsy updates!

Can you smell that? It’s that fresh yet slightly mouldy smell which hangs in the air when you now walk through the forest, which tells us it is the end of summer. Of course also the first yellow leaves ???? on the ground are a tell-tale sign of the change of the season, and I always start to smile when I smell that odour and see them ????. But also the ???? which start to come now out (thanks to a lot of rain ???? these past few weeks) tell us: Time to start planning your autumn hikes! Well, here’s some videos and photos to inspire you to experience this beautiful time outdoors!

Cairngorms, Scotland

I hiked across the Cairngorms in 2017 with my best friend, and what a beautiful mountain range it is! I long to go back, and with Brexit looming now is a great time to go.

Öreälvsleden Trail, Sweden

I was bckpacking on the Öreälvsleden Trail also in 2017, just as autumn kicked things off. Damn, did I have a good time on this beautiful trail on the East-coast of Sweden!

Urho Kekkonen National Park, Finland

It’s already six years ago that I was backpacking with my brother in Urho Kekkonen National Park in Finnish Lapland. It does feel like yesterday, these good memories. And it’s a good thing that soon I will be back there =)

Vålådalen, Sweden

Last autumn I visited Vålådalen again, and it blew my mind. I hiked 45 km off-trail with no one around (except Reindeer ????) and can’t wait to go back to Sweden again!

Pyrenees, Andorra, Spain and France

In 2018 my best friend Martin and me paid a visit to the Pyrenees. They are everything anyone who has ever hiked there tells you they are, so if you fancy a visit to Spain, France and Andorra and exploring their mountains you should jump on a train to Southern Europe for your autumn trip!

Dolomites, Italy

Backpacking in the Dolomites is the experience of a life-time. Hiking beneath the Tre Cime is magical and awe-inspiring, and best of all: In autumn you won’t meet many people at all!

As you can see, from Northern to Southern Europe, autumn is everywhere the best backpacking season. Even better, you could start next week with your first autumn backpacking trip in Lapland, and then continually travel further south as this magical season travels across the continent, colouring the leaves, giving the mountains their first dusting of snow, and making us grin into the morning sun with our hot cup of coffee in our hands!

The NSCA Foundation has distributed an opinion piece on the occupational health and safety (OHS) duties of officers. The language in the article is anomalous in the context of contemporary OHS thinking and trends.

What are some of the things you take with you for preparedness when you fly far away from home? I’ll get it started with some of what I used to take.

I’m sure a lot of our readers have heard this muttered, “if I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” Well, I can certainly relate to that phrase. When I was younger – much younger – I was totally indestructible, nothing could stand in my way – except for life itself. I will readily admit that, before I became a born again Christian, I didn’t lead the most honorable life – it was actually pretty wild in a lot of ways. Roger Simon, a newspaper reporter in Chicago, Illinois, once wrote …
