Outdoor Gear

from detailed guides on choosing the best outdoor gear to starter outdoor packing lists you can use to prepare for any adventure, here's all my gear knowledge & mountain-tested recommendations in one place

โœจ outdoor gear guides โœจ

These deep-dive guides are here to demystify the (often overwhelming!) process of building your outdoor gear closetโ€” breaking down which features matter most, how to choose the right gear for your adventures, and whatโ€™s truly worth investing in for the long haul. Youโ€™ll also find real-world recommendations for gear weโ€™ve personally tested across continents, seasons & trip styles, from solo hikes to full-scale alpine expeditions!

โœจ outdoor packing lists โœจ

Based on the standard lists I use to pack for every single trip, these general-purpose packing templates are designed to help you pack smarter, lighter & safer. Think of them as your ultimate starting point for any outdoor adventureโ€” whether itโ€™s a quick day-hike or a multi-day trekโ€” with room to adapt based on weather, terrain & your personal goals.

โœจ trip-specific packing lists โœจ

Packing for a big adventure? These are the exact gear lists I used for some of the worldโ€™s most iconic trails, alpine summits, and backcountry mountaineering traversesโ€” plus notes on what worked well, what I’d pack differently, and how to adapt for your own trip.

  • Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with).

In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery ๐Ÿ˜

a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway:
๐Ÿ“ Fjordsauna, Flรฅm @fjordsauna 
๐Ÿ“ Vulkana Arctic Spa Boat, Tromsรธ @vulkana.adventure 
๐Ÿ“ Pust Lavvo Sauna, Tromsรธ @pust.lifestyle 
๐Ÿ“ KOK Langkaia, Oslo @kokoslo.no 
๐Ÿ“ Soria Moria Sauna, Dalen @dalenhotel

4/5
Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with).

In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery ๐Ÿ˜

a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway:
๐Ÿ“ Fjordsauna, Flรฅm @fjordsauna 
๐Ÿ“ Vulkana Arctic Spa Boat, Tromsรธ @vulkana.adventure 
๐Ÿ“ Pust Lavvo Sauna, Tromsรธ @pust.lifestyle 
๐Ÿ“ KOK Langkaia, Oslo @kokoslo.no 
๐Ÿ“ Soria Moria Sauna, Dalen @dalenhotel
