With 3 friends from Holland, we went on a hike for 4 nights, 5 days. Weather forecast showed loads of rain, so we where prepared for it, but still we got pretty wet half way through. Here are some pics. Re-packing at home, adding the food we just bought etc. […]
I took the shrapnel knife plus billy can out for some testing. The knife, still shaving sharp and no damages to it, and the bread form the billy can was good.

Together with Mirek and my dog, we spend this weekend in a rocky area, north of Prague. Here and there was still some snow, but the temperature was slightly above 0 Celsius. The landscape was amazing, and in total I made 166 pics, of which you will find here only […]
Time for a nice long weekend without running around through nature, but just stay in 1 place. We arrived Friday before dinner time in a relative flat area, where we’ve been before a couple of times. We tried to find in the dark the same place where we stayed twice […]

Enjoying a nice cigar in the forest, due to me having a successful eye laser surgery 2 weeks before. Doc said all healed well, and my vision is better then standard now 🙂
Together with a couple of friends we did this spring hike. About 44 km, several castle ruins, up and down man hills, and lots of fun.
What was supposed to be a hike, turned out to be more a lazy weekend where we decided to stay in 1 place due to it’s great surroundings. Made some fire, cooked on it, and relaxed. Mireks son also joined us for a day only.
With a friend from Holland, here a small overview of the 3 day, 2 night trip in the west of Czech Republic. After parking the car, we left the path and went straight through the fields to a hill which has a ruin on top of it. In the fields […]

On first christmas day I received a new backpack that I asked for, it’s the “JÄGERRUCKSACK” with about 35 liter capacity. I decided to try it out during a few hours walk in the forest with my dog, while looking for a nice burl for my future kuksa. From that […]
The plan for this trip was to relax a bit, do some fishing, and perhaps try some trapping. We arrived on Friday night in the dark, made a fire, and had dinner. The weather did not cooperate much, and during most of the saturday we had slight rain. My 2 […]
For this trip my friend Bart who is also a Dutch guy but living in Switzerland, joined me and my dog Buddy. We did the “Prättigauer Höhenweg”, which is a 72 km hike. Usually people who do the hike stay over in cabins or pensions along the route, but we […]
The original plan was to go for a hike with 8 people again, but 2 where not sure from the beginning, and 2 cancelled the day before departure. So here we are, with the remaining 4 participants, for a nice relaxed 3 day hike. We started out on Friday afternoon, […]
Once again on a hike where we found previously the grenade. The bomb squad detonated it there, but we found the place again en some souvenirs. and not far from that place, we found another one…. Other then that, we did a lot of skill testing / refreshing. Our camp […]
What started out as a 1 overnighter, turned out to be just a day hike. So only thing you will see in this video is some nice nature here in Czech Republic 🙂 I was not prepared at all for snow, and also was not able to find a dry […]

We went for a weekend trip with our hammocks and fishing rods. Previous fishing trips where not so successful so we didn’t expect much of it, but surprisingly we did very well this time 🙂
On the following hike we planned a route which was about 19 km with lots of ascending and descending. The group of friends are from the same club plus additional 3 people who are friends of ours. After we parked the cars at the village close to the area, we […]

I took my new dog out on a 1 night trip to see how he reacts on sleeping over in the forest. Perfect time to test my new setup for ground sleeping. A tarp, and a Czech army bed roll.
With this trip we took only minimal gear, weather was suppose to be very hot, so not much sleeping gear needed. We took only our assault vests to carry what we needed. Due to the hot weather, we planned the trip to pass many natural springs where we could refill […]
For this trip, we took only wool blankets to sleep in, and hammock as backup. Mirek took almost no food with him, and just lived of the land. Due to his extensive knowledge of wild edibles this was quite easy for him. I tried to also eat the wild edibles, […]
