Few can have missed the last few years’ explosive rise in popularity of outdoor activities like hiking and camping. And the pandemic has only served to amplify our insatiable lust for adventure. According to one definition, an ‘adventure’ should be demanding and involve some form of risk or uncertainty. While this definition is perfectly adequate, we’d like to add that a true adventure should lead to some form of discovery, whether it be geographic or within ourselves. If the wanderlust is there, but the ideas are far from forthcoming, we can warmly recommend taking inspiration from the silver screen.
Wild
Wild tells the story of Cheryl Strayed, expertly portrayed by Reese Witherspoon, as the unexperienced adventurer takes on the USA’s 4 300 kilometre long Pacific Crest Trail. This inspirational story of overcoming obstacles both physical and psychological is based on Strayed’s autobiography Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. Ideal inspiration for anyone thinking of embarking on a hiking or camping trip.
The film Kon-Tiki tells the story of the legendary raft that took Thor Heyerdahl and his crew across the Pacific Ocean in 1947. Hoping to prove that South Americans made it to Polynesia by crossing the ocean, they set out on an 8,000 kilometer adventure on a balsa wood raft. Along the way, they encounter both wild sharks and devastating storms. Perhaps a somewhat radical journey to embark on in real life, but not least an adventure to be inspired by in the world of the film on a rainy autumn evening.
Everest retells the true story of a fateful day in May 1996 when two expeditions to the summit of Mount Everest are caught in a snowstorm. Having set off before sunrise in their quest to reach the top, mountaineers Scott Fisher (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Rob Hall (Jason Clarke) quickly find themselves beset by problems. Their tribulations only serve to prove that, when nature takes charge, anything can happen. Something to keep in mind for those planning a visit to more extreme environments.
The best way to have a wonderful experience in nature should be in the order of dry, warm and comfortable. Of course, you also make sure to fulfil the first three without completely renouncing the overall style. With a little experience of both shorter and longer stays under the open sky, however, you quickly know that good shoes for long walks and keeping dry and warm will increase the pleasure of everything else you bring with you for the experience. Below we provide a collection of garments and accessories that we hope will make your trip out into nature a pleasant experience.
Weatherproof jacket
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='23847011r'] [SLIDER STOPP] The jacket you wear is your greatest protection against the elements. It also needs to be comfortable to move in even when you are wearing a backpack. It should also have good breathability so that you do not get wet from the inside from perspiration.
Hat
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='23716510'] [SLIDER STOPP] Even at the beginning of autumn, a hat is always good to have with you. If you are going to stay out overnight, this is necessary if you want to stay comfortably warm. Cashmere is just as good in nature as it is in the urban jungle.
Shirt
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='23742611r'] [SLIDER STOPP] A shirt is always a winning garment, worn on top of some base layers of functional garments to transport moisture away from the body. If you get warm, you can unbutton the shirt and roll up the sleeves.
Trousers
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='23850011r'] [SLIDER STOPP] Your trousers should be comfortable to walk in, withstand wind and a certain amount of moisture. In nature, you often spend a large amount of time sitting on rocks and logs, whereupon reinforcements in exposed areas such as the knees and back are a plus.
Rucksack
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='22635010'] [SLIDER STOPP] Whether you're only going to be out for a few hours or a day, a rucksack that relieves the weight of your packed items well is always the superior choice of bag.
Socks
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='21759910'] [SLIDER STOPP] No matter what shoes you wear, the function of your feet always starts with good socks. Always bring an extra pair if you need to dry the first pair over the fire to avoid shoes rubbing against your skin.
Hiking shoes
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='23325311r'] [SLIDER STOPP] For shorter day, a pair of sturdy running sneakers is often a sufficiently stable and good choice of shoes. A water-repellent upper is very practical in wet marshland and moors.
Boots
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='21807111r'] [SLIDER STOPP] Sturdy, stable boots are the obvious choice if you are going on a long hike. Especially if you are carrying a lot of equipment. Here is a great opportunity to be style conscious when choosing shoes that lift the rest of the functional clothing, even if the function of the shoes is the most important of all the clothes you wear.
Tent
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='22812010'] [SLIDER STOPP]
A tent becomes your “home away from home”. A vestibule that has room for all of your equipment is always an advantage, as you avoid having this inside the tent. The vestibule is also a place to cook breakfast if it is raining when you wake up.
Gloves
[SLIDER START] [ARTNR='21523111r'] [SLIDER STOPP] You will thank yourself if you pack a pair of thin gloves to wear during late nights and early mornings. They can also be comfortable to wear whilst you sleep.
Running can be difficult to get started with, even if you have been running regularly for almost 25 years but have taken a short break. The essence of running is; It is not the GPS watch, not the heel to toe drop on the soles of your running shoes, not the philosophy you follow or how advanced your training plan is that determines how much of a runner you are. What makes you a runner is being out in the fresh air, running. It does not matter how fast or slow you are. If you are out running, you are a runner. We are now going to give you some initial tools to get you started running, and hopefully out and enjoying it!
To begin running
“But I can’t even run 300 metres” you think? That is ok, you are still a runner. Something that is also motivating about running is that very soon you will see an improvement in your ability to run! A good way to start is the so-called "two and ones", that is: run two minutes, walk one minute. Then when you feel like you do not want to walk after two minutes, run three minutes, walk one minute, and so on. Soon, you will find that you can run for miles without having to walk. Do not set the bar too high in the beginning. For example, have as your first goal to get around one or two kilometres running according to this tactic. Then increase by one kilometre at a time.
Do not fall for all running theories
There are multitudes of enthusiasts from various running theoretical trends. Some say that shoes with cushioning are nonsense, and that the only natural thing is to run barefoot or in minimalist running shoes. Another theorist will declare that the best thing is to run on your tiptoes. Sure, there are advantages to thin soles and minimalist running, but that is not where you should start if you want to start running. Often these explanations make running seem complicated, and many avoid even trying it.
Use the correct running shoes
Many people regularly run in shoes that are not designed for running. Of course, in the beginning it is better to run in shoes that are not quite right, instead of not running at all. However, if you want to get the full enjoyment and potential of real running, go and try out a pair of real running shoes that suit your stride. Running for a long time in the wrong shoes can at worst lead to pain and injury, whereupon you think, "you can't run".
Many people make the mistake of wearing clothes incorrectly and excessively many clothes when they run! Your body temperature will rise significantly when you run. Instead, you should almost freeze a little before you start running. The outside temperature determines how much clothing you should wear. Not that it is cloudy or the date of the calendar: If it is 12 degrees outside in the middle of November, it is best to run in shorts and maybe a long-sleeved functional sweater, but probably a t-shirt. You only need a hat if the temperature starts to drop below 5 degrees. Thin gloves are good at those temperatures where hands get cold easily.
NOTE: Adapt the clothing during the journey! When you get warm, take off the wind breaker, hat, gloves, and roll up the sleeves of the sweater. If you feel overheated, you quickly feel exhausted and then running is not fun. Wear functional clothing made of synthetic materials, or thinly woven wool, not cotton. Cotton gets heavy from all the sweat it absorbs and is cold and sharp against the skin when you run.
Drink water whilst running
There is a well-established myth among "real runners" about how many kilometres you can run completely without fluids. Of course, you can force yourself around both 10 and 20 kilometres without drinking water. However, your body will not get nearly as much out of the workout as if you rehydrated during the session. Especially when it is hot outside. You will do well with a 0.5-0.75L PET bottle that you hold in your hand. Belts and bottles designed for the purpose will eventually make running more enjoyable.
Both physical and mental training
Running is not just physical exercise. Once you get into the routine, running is one of the best ways to wash your soul from the many thoughts and worries of life. The term "runner's high" is a completely scientific fact: Even if you can never imagine enjoying running today, it is inevitable when the body starts to secrete the endorphins it eventually does when you start running regularly. So, get out there and run. It is the best investment you can make in yourself!
