Hi all,

I’m planning to hike this path in September, and will be camping most of the way.
Not sure yet if I will be traveling N-S or S-N.

If I do wish to book a room, do you think I need to make a reservation (far) in advance? I know July and August are the busiest months, but maybe it will be difficult in September as well. I like to be as…

Maybe the Fisherman’s Trail (Rota Vicentina) in the South of Portugal?

226km

Hi all,
I noticed on Facebook most people follow this route North-South. And this is also the direction given by the website

Fishermen’s Trail

Is there anything against going the other way?
I hope to hike it this fall/winter and I think I’ll be hiking N-S as well, as I like to have the sun in my face. But was just wondering.

Hi all,

Not that I’m planning to sleep in a hammock very soon, but it does have my interest. And so I was browsing the internet a bit.
I see mostly these 2 brands, DD Hammock and Lesovik.

Any hammock (and tarp) users here who know the differences between the 2 and want to share their experience? I also noticed Lesovik is about double the price of DD Hammock.

Hi all!
Regarding getting my pack a bit lighter on the longer trips, I’ve been checking out some (ultra)lightweight tents where you use your hiking pole(s) to put it up.
Now I was comparing these 3:
Durston Xmid 1 (solid)
Six Moon Lunar Solo
3F UL Lanshan

I know from these 3 the Six Moon is the only single-walled tent, so I have to be more mindful…

Hi Vanessa,

I’m not sure yet. 😅

Maybe if you have tips about that trail and if there are do’s or dont’s.

For example, I understood there can be a lot of mosquitoes? So I should definitely be prepared for that.

They already sell it. I have seen a few of those while backpacking the TMB.
The MT900 tent tarp. 1person (920gr) costs EUR 150, 2 person (1300gr) costs EUR 190 (In the Netherlands)

I have asked the TMB trekkers about their tent and I believe most think its quite okay. Just some remarks about condensation.

Hi all!
After backpacking the Tour du Mont Blanc a few weeks ago I was already looking for the next adventure.

I came across the Höga kustenleden, or High-Coast trail in Sweden, and that one looks promising, but there is not that much to find about it on Facebook and the internet in general. Contrary to the Kungsleden or the popular TMB 🙂 But…

The TMB was great! I am sure you will have a wonderful time!
And thanks for sharing your experience with your Eja.
PS. I just gave you a follow on Instagram 🙂

Ps. I think this topic would fit better in the GEAR group 😉

How light do you want it to be?
For lightweight low budget you could take a look at the Naturehike VIK, or the Cloud-Up, depending on where you want to take it.
For me personally, I always take a 2 person tent because I like to have my pack with me in the tent.

Hi!

I bought the Osprey Aura AG 65 for my backpacking trips and my planned TMB trip.
I want a pack that is comfortable even when it weighs a bit more and has room for all my stuff. Some stuff can be bulky, so I choose the 65ltr to be sure it would fit.

I don’t think I brought unnecessary stuff, but I still had 16,5kg on my back during the TMB 2…
