Mountain EDC

Image
You have probably heard of  EDC (= Every Day Carry) In this article I will just explain what I carry on person while mountaineering. Some basic items always stay the same, some may vary depending on the route I am about to take. They are not really meant to build up a survival Kit, they are just what I think could be useful to have at your fingerips whithout taking your backpack of. When you look at my article about my clothing system you will find a review about the trousers I use  (summer: KAZ03/M75 trousers of the Austrian Bundesheer - winter: same as summer but with extra layers of clothing underneath or the Gorka 3 trousers) On Person - Basic: My watch, the Samsung Gear S2. I use this watch to track my route and to view my pulse. The watch has a lot of other nice features but I don't use all of them while hiking. Not an ideal solution, beacuse of the low battery lifetime and the high price. My watch (Samsung Gear S2) Upper pockets:  right hand side : Mobile

Karrimor Predator SF30

this site is under construction - I would be very happy about every Feedback! The Predator 30 is considert to be a lightweight and durable daypack for harsh environment. The backpack is covered with modular webbing which allowes to use a wide range of pouches or other things that fit through the loops to be attached. It has no real "frame". Instead there is a thick plastic plate inside the back of the backpack which could be taken out. The Predator 30 is perfect for one-day-trips or with the addition of modular pouches also perfectly servicable for longer trips (longer than 2 days)  Made out of KS60-RS which is basically a 600 Denier polyester fabric with a Silicone/PU elastomer that adds abrasion resistance with the benefit of beeing lighter in weight to the Backpack. The Fabric is coated with a durable water repellent (DWR) elastomer. On the inside you can see the PU-coating Dimensions Height: ~50cm Width: ~30cm Depth: ~20cm Weight: ~1.3
