One of the most useful outdoor tools is a lantern. Whether you’re camping, hiking, hunting or cooking outside as the sun sets, a bright and powerful, long-lasting light source is essential. Survive Longer Outdoors Venture Light 3000 Rechargeable with Power Bank and the Camp Lantern Rechargeable with Power Bank are my favorite adventure lanterns for all moments in life that need some light. De SOL Venture Light 3000 is een handige kleine lantaarn – klein en extreem draagbaar voor kampeertrips of vakanties waar je meer moet letten op het inpakken van spullen. Bovendien weegt het slechts zeven gram. De Venture…
resupply Since you’ll be out for a few weeks, you can’t carry all your food at once – you have to stop and restock regularly. Most people resupply 4-6 times, but there are a fair number of road crossings and opportunities to get into town along the trail. So resupplying can often be easy if you want to reduce the food weight in your package. Keep in mind that stops in the city can be expensive and often take a lot of time. You have to weigh the convenience of carrying less food against the time it takes to stop.…
Road tripping? How do we plan the route? And a favorite maps app comes out, and we blindly take the route planning the app suggests. But the app has no feelings, and the suggested routes are just part of a larger “algorithm,” likely made up of how many people use that route to get anywhere. This is not convenient. In fact it is often, very often, very painful. A pain exacerbated by data validated by a large number of map-app-powered delivery drivers riding two-wheelers. But real road tripping is about the road itself. “The journey is the destination”. This is…
People keep asking me, “I’m in Mumbai this weekend, what are the places near me, where can I go?”. This is generally not the kind of article we would write, but here we are. Where CAN one go? Well, where there is peace and less crowds, a good atmosphere, a nice place to stay and good food. Like any city, Mumbai has plenty to visit. And I won’t mention the overdone Lonavala/Khandala. For starters, one can try Kamshet . Kamshet, a small village about 110 km from Mumbai, is located next to the Indrayani River and a few lakes nearby.…
Ze zeggen dat variatie het kruid van het leven is, en het avontuur van Sri Lanka en de Malediven heeft het in overvloed. Een week lang het fascinerende eiland Sri Lanka verkennen, gevolgd door een week ontspannen op de Malediven, zou dit de perfecte vakantie kunnen zijn? Op het moment dat je Colombo Airport verlaat, weet je dat je ergens spannend bent. De geur van Sri Lanka raakt je, een geur die alleen als tropisch kan worden omschreven – een ongelooflijke mix van warmte, bloemen en kruiden. Je loopt door de luchthavendeuren, ademt in en weet gewoon dat je de…
I want to review this Disc-O-Bed which is a new product that I had the opportunity to test a few times this year. I want to get into what I really like about it and talk about what it is and how to use it. First of all, you can make a few different things out of it. For example, I’ve now set it up as a bunk bed. It is great for a bunk bed or you can also make it into two single beds or also as a sofa. We took this on a camping trip a few…
Ongeveer 500 km Mumbai, aan de oevers van de machtige rivier Narmada, ligt de oude stad Maheshwar. Veel historici identificeren Maheshwar als de oude stad Mahishmati. Er wordt aangenomen dat Maheshwar werd gebouwd op de oude stad Somvanshya Shastrarjun Kshatriya en de hoofdstad was van de koning Kartavirya Arjun, die wordt genoemd in de Sanskriet-epen Ramayana en Mahabharata. Veel later werd het de hoofdstad van de Maratha Kings, de Holkars. Maratha Koningin Ahilya Bai Holkar (1725-1795) nam de regering van Maheshwar over nadat haar jonge zoon Male Rao Holkar, erfgenaam van de troon, stierf, kort na de dood van haar…
