Not another outdoors blog

This blog is a result of love for the outdoors and passion for gear, food and some other things.

All of the experiences shared here are and will remain genuine and self-written. Only truth is useful enough to be shared - everything else is just more noise in our lives.

My goal is not to add to that noise.


My Principles

Learning from life

Life tends to provide situations, in which you are bound to learn from a lesson they provide. If your life hasn't given you many of those yet - go live a little (pun intended)!

Same applies to all spheres of life. Including the outdoors. The mountain is you. And the backpack is your knowledge. Heavy backpack is not necessarily a good thing by itself.

Wisdom / intelligence is figuring out what to do with all that knowledge and how and when to apply it.

Renaissance Man as an ideal

Since childhood, I follow an ideal that developed during the Renaissance period in Italy from the notion expressed by Leon Battista Alberti, that “a man can do all things if he will.”

This ideal embodies the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which considered man the centre of the moral universe, limitless in his capacities for development, and led to the notion that men should try to embrace all knowledge and develop their own capacities as fully as possible.
