Travel | 11. Gear corner: Survival

Moscow, Russia

Realised that I never got around to presenting my gear, so here is the first part of a new series, THE GEAR CORNER! 😀

First thing’s first, survival.

• Magnum Elite, military grade boots with SuperFeet insoles, polished by my dear brother. Thanks for that btw.
• Ticket to the Moon single hammock with self-made fixing straps (I used Paracord)
• Mil-Tec ripstop, lightweight rain poncho (copy of the model used by USA army)
• Waterproof bag for sensitive stuff like electronics
• Waterproof LED Headlamp by Silva
• 10m of Paracord, a string used in parachutes, can hold a man’s weight and will likely provide me hours of entertainment when braiding to bracelets.
• Cable ties and rubber bands, you know, just in case

This is just the beginning so stay tuned for more gear popping up out of my bag.
