The Stormin Pothugger Windshield and the Vargo BOT-700 work well for me. I used them again last weekend on the Skåneleden trail together with the Stormin 20ml Screw UTD alcohol burner. ・・・ The testing that I’ve done on this cooking system has been successful. The Stormin Stove Systems Pothugger Windshield including 2 support pins weighs in at 26 grams. Using the Vargo BOT-700 for heating food does not work well with gas stoves in my experience, but it is excellent used together with alcohol stoves. The Titanium gets hot quick and the slow heating does the trick as no food sticks as it did in all my previous testing with the gas stove. And as Norman Reeves says “Alcohol is good”. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #storminstove #storminstovesystems

Last weekend I followed the stony path alongside Dejebäcken Creek. It was very wet and slippery. At one stage I slipped and fell between some rocks falling on my hip. I was a bit sore for a couple of days 🤣. This beautiful part of Söderåsen National Park is just before Klåveröd. ・・・ Skåneleden SL3: Ridge to ridge Trail takes you from Åstorp at the foot of Söderåsen ridge to Brösarp hills in Österlen, the northeast of Skåne. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #skåneleden

After lunch near the Naturum center at Skäralid I hiked 3.3 km to the bridge over Dejebäcken Creek at Korsskär. Here you can veer left and hike up to Liagården (900 m), but I headed west and walked 3.4 km to the first wind shelter at Klåveröd. The sign is incorrect showing 2.5 km to Klåveröd! The signs are also wrong near Klåveröd as well. You should always plan from home and only trust your own calculations. I plan all my hikes using Garmin BaseCamp at home. This is where all my adventures begin. The planning is a fun stage of the hike in my opinion. ・・・ Skåneleden SL3: Ridge to ridge Trail takes you from Åstorp at the foot of Söderåsen ridge to Brösarp hills in Österlen, the northeast of Skåne. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #skåneleden

From Kopparhatten overlook I hiked downwards on the ancient road Offavägen to the bottom of the gorge. Here there is a viewpoint where I took this shot. The valley bottoms were once used for grazing and growing hay. Hay was hauled, first by oxen and later by horses, out of the valley and up the sides along several of the small roads. The most well-known one is Offavägen, which goes from Kopparhatten down into the Skäralidsdalen valley. ・・・ Skåneleden SL3: Ridge to ridge Trail takes you from Åstorp at the foot of Söderåsen ridge to Brösarp hills in Österlen, the northeast of Skåne. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #skåneleden #hyperlitemountaingear 2400 Windrider ultralight pack #hmgtribe

Last night’s camp with the Duplex in the background. I had some great “alone” time; nature does wonders for the soul! The little bit of whisky didn’t do me any harm either 🤣. ・・・ Skåneleden 3: Ridge to ridge Trail takes you from Åstorp at the foot of Söderåsen ridge to Brösarp hills in Österlen, the northeast of Skåne. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #skåneleden #zpacks #zpacksduplex #teamzpacks

On trail again. I’m re-visiting Söderåsen National Park. Last time I was here was in January 2016. ・・・ Skåneleden 3: Ridge to ridge Trail takes you from Åstorp at the foot of Söderåsen ridge to Brösarp hills in Österlen, the northeast of Skåne. ・・・ #outdoorsadventures #hiking #hikingtrail #hike #outdoors #hikingadventures #lightweightbackpacking #ultralightbackpacking #backpacker #backpacking #trekking #hikingsweden #sweden #swedishnature #skåneleden #zpacks #zpacksduplex #teamzpacks #astucas Foratata Down Quilt 450 L (690g)
