Meet me in Stockholm

By
If you're ever in Stockholm. And particularly on Saturday March 10 at 1600 hours at the Swedish Wilderness Fair, please drop by and say ´'hello'. I will be talking about lightweight gear, of course, for both summer and winter trips. I guess it is the 6th year in a row that I have been a speaker there, so I must be getting close to wearing everyone out. Ah, well, some people do not know when they've had enough. Or when to quit...

Since it will be a predominantly Swedish audience I will be speaking in Swedish. For the rest of you here is some measure of consolation:


By Jörgen Johansson 

I have been hiking since my early teens, mostly solo. Right after the millenium I discovered ultra light backpacking and have been using, trying and adapting originally American techniques to Scandinavian tundra. The demands in that area are demanding and equal to the ones I have found in northern Alaska. About this I have written in a number of books. In Swedish the bestselling Vandra Fjäderlätt, in English the Smarter Backpacking series that you find on Amazon.

    Are you there promoting your book on your own stand Jörgen?

    No, I was just a speaker by arrangement with Outside Magazine. Did mention my upcoming book, though. The title will probably be "Smarter Backpacking after 50". And I met some interesting people, most of them even crazier than me, since they had their annual "Adventurer of the year"-awards.
