I reached the second highest summit Mount Hintergrauspitz (or Schwarzhorn) at 11:30 and because of the mist (couldn't even see the Grauspitz) and lack of time, I turned back and went down to take the telecabin at 14:30 back to my car. Nothing really difficult with the terrain but it had rained and everything was wet and slippery. Well, I got to meet friendly Swiss who invited at their home for the night and I woke up early to take the telecabin at 7.15am to start walking to the Mountain at 7:30. I start to meet brand and marketing managers who recognize me from the previous years at ISPO like the team at Polartec.Īfter the fair, I drove to Switzerland across Liechtenstein as my aim was to summit on sunday Liechtenstein's highest summit, Mount Grauspitz. Mostly the same brands as at ISPO are coming but I met a few brands I never heard of like KayLand. It’s a mixed up feeling between being part of it and feeling able to master it, to be able to pass all natural elements and challenges.ĮN: This weekend I went for the first time to Friedrichshafen at the Outdoor Show. We all know we cannot beat nature but there’s a strong feeling I have that living or being in the wild for a long time gives you a strong feeling you are part of it, like allowed to stay. And like his quote about what he read somewhere… “How important it is in life not necessarily to be strong.
The most common I have with Chris, according to the film, is that I want to live a lot of new experiences. He was heading north I will head south, normally starting in Ecuador. I just feel this pull to go back to intense moments into unknown countries. An easy comparison with Alexander Supertramp is that I do tell people where I go. I will pack of course a few adventures during this trip. Like I did twice in Oceania and Australia, I now have the idea to visit South America and head to Patagonia. This comes at the same time I decided to go again traveling for a year. I once made a delirious dream and woke up without knowing the different between reality and the dream as I was bush bashing and fighting inside my sleeping bag.
This led to 2 occasions during the 13 last days where I actually couldn’t find the mental motivation to move out of my tiny tent and stayed 36 hours in it from the evening of a day to the next day after. I was many times dehydrated I got had to cut my food ration into two and was really starving. If you count properly I had an estimated 40 days of food (700 gram per day) with me and was away for 49 days. Underway I broke the GPS, tore my clothes, fell several times from steep cliffs, got taken many times by cold rivers trying to wade across them and on top of that contracted the trench foot disease. I was off track since day 36 and it took me 13 days off track to reach the civilization, hence safety. At the end of the journey, for the last 16 km to reach the sea, I got lost as I couldn’t figure out exactly where I was on the map.
