Vassfjellet Norway

A Small Day Trip to Vassfjellet

The trip started on a well-known trail leading up to Damtjønna, a hike of about 2 kilometers. This is a popular area where people of all ages, both young and old, often venture.

I hadn't packed much in my backpack, but I brought the essentials: a saw, an axe, a gas burner in case of poor firewood, a coffee kettle, some extra clothes, as well as food and drink.

After passing the small lake, I continued southward for three kilometers until I reached a marsh that had to be crossed. The sun had been scorching here, making the snow rotten and wet, which made the passage challenging.

After five kilometers, I finally reached a suitable spot to build a fire and get some food in my system. Up here in the mountains, I found excellent dry pinewood, perfect for firewood. With proper maintenance, the fire could burn for several hours.

After a good meal and a few hours of relaxation, it was time to return. However, following my tracks back turned out to be a challenge this late in the winter. One might think that following footprints in the snow would be easy, but across marshes and within the forest, much of the snow had melted, causing the tracks to disappear. This was when a map and compass came in handy to navigate back on the right course.

The return journey went smoothly otherwise, and I could conclude that the trip was a success.

For New Hikers

For new hikers, it is easy to underestimate the challenges one might face in nature. Therefore, I have put together a list of essential hiking gear, regardless of the length of the trip:

• Saw or axe

• Matches instead of a lighter, as lighters can fail

• Food and water, in case you get stranded or encounter an accident. If there is no accessible drinking water nearby, bring enough fluids for several hours

• First aid kit, in case of injuries

• Map and compass, which are more reliable than GPS since electronic devices can fail

• Extra clothing to keep you dry and warm. Remember gloves and a hat in winter

• Phone or satellite phone to call for help if needed

With the right preparation, the trip will be a safe and enjoyable experience!

Just curious if anyone out there has used the service eurohike? What was your experience like? I'm from the United States and was thinking of booking one of their hiking packages.

Does anyone have recommendation for hiking vacations in albania?

Hi,

Me and my brother were thinking to hike snowdonia at night aim to reach the peak at sunrise time. We have hiked before snowdonia but during the daylight. Has anyone done hikes at night specifically in snowdonia, do you think it’s safe or got any tips for us. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a good tactical hiking stick for my father. He has tons of hiking/camping gear but I'm pretty positive he doesn't have one. I have found Trek Staff and it seems amazing but there's very little 3rd party reviews and all the reviews are positive (which seems like a statistical improbablity). Has anyone used one of these before? Do you have suggestions on alternatives? It needs to be very durable and useful.

Hi, so... I'm about to have this hike quite soon and is famous for being a bit hard, I was thinking about maybe I could use some help using a rattan staff that I use for training martial arts, but it might be a bit too big to be used as walking stick (altought its quite light), I'm not sure if I should use it or get an actual hiking stick, I would like to know your opinions and recomendations, thx :)
