This is more of an unusual thing, but instead of the well-known multi-tool, I’ve used this “card” on all of my hiking trips over the past two years, even on multi-day trips. It has everything I need, and I even use the ballpoint pen regularly.

I like that I can separate the knife and the scissors. The needle is very handy for splinters, the tweezers for ticks, and it only weighs 26 grams. We’ve even made fire with the magnifying glass several times, just because it’s fun.

I don’t want to start a discussion about whether the multi-tool or the card is better — I just want to point out that this is an option too.

Or a fun thing! Nevermind - I’ll shoot a roll! :)

We only had a few days to explore the Hintergebirge and die Attersee area but it’s well worth it. 40km of hiking and hours of kayaking!

What a gem the Nationalpark Kalkalpen is! Very few people, in fact we’ve been the only one on the summit and only met 3 people on the way down!
The creek Krumme Steyerling is mostly along the beginning of the hike and a welcome refreshment when you are back down.

What a lovely two day hike along the creek „Krumme Steyerling“ to the summit of the Großen Größtenberg and back.
The Nationalpark Kalkalpen is truely a hidden gem, since haven’t met many people along the trail.

I stumbled accross this Flux Merin Hoodie: Flux Merino™ Hoodie – 10gram Equipment

"The Flux Merino™ Hoodie is built with a lightweight technical midlayer fabric (66 g/m²) that represents a new generation of active insulation. Combining 37% merino wool, 54% recycled polyester, and 9% polyamide, it delivers warmth, moisture regulation, and exceptional comfort—all while feeling like it's barely there. From the first climb of the day to your sleeping bag at night."

Size M = 120g

Any experience or thoughts?

I’ve tested this with two different lenses and it’s the same with both - it just want fire.
Any ideas what the cause could be?

After hiking the Cami de Cavalls in March this year, we realized that nothing shakes off the chill of a long, cold winter better than a hike in Southern Europe.

So, for next year, we want to plan something similar. It could be anywhere in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey… perhaps something lesser-known or a section of a longer-distance trail.

We’ve already hiked the GR223, GR221, Corfu Trail, MIUT, and the Lofoten Long Crossing.

Recommendations are very welcome!

The specs say it’s only 1.05pound, which would be light enough to bring it on backpacking trips if it’s comfortable.

I do a lot of hiking and dragging my Bronica up every mountain in Austria is quite tough.
So I need to find something lighter!
I had a Agfa Isolette 2 and was quite pleased with it’s capabilities.
Now I’m looking at th Isomette 3.

Which camera I’m missing with my budget, what should I look into?
