The Great Outdoors - Hiking and so on…

@weftyarn amazing photographs, are you planning to visit Flores? I took a 3 day boat trip to see the Komodo dragons from there a few years back, and Padar Island en route was the most photogenic spot I've ever visited.

@T4920 Oh wow, what a stunner!!
We actually thought about Flores and Komodo but I guess we have to save them for the next time. There’s just so many islands and beautiful places I can’t wrap my head around it.
We’ll spend some time on Sumatra though. Lake Toba and Gunung Leuser NP is the plan. Let’s see how it goes

Morgan and I love backpacking. We’ve heard of the rifugio huttes of the Dolomites and had to include them in our honeymoon trip of Italy. They most certainly did not disappoint.
Now, I understand that there are much more technical fabrics to hike in. Fabrics that are lighter, more water resistant, quick drying, and all around better for long hikes. Sure I knew my new wife would tease me the whole four days of our hiking trip. I didn’t wear my SBGs for the style. I didn’t wear them for the practicality. I didn’t wear them out of ignorance (or did I?
) So why in the hell did I wear these black, 21oz denim beasts for four days, 7,000 ft of elevation gain, through snow, sun, rain, and odd looks from other hikers…I did it for the fades!

Terima Kasih @endo or Matur Nuwun as they say here in Java.
I can absolutely understand why it’s your favorite country. The people are so overwhelmingly nice here. Add stunning nature, inspiring culture (and the food) and it’s like a dream come true.
Only the humid temperatures took me some days to get used to haha.
@Mizmazzle Oh man, that looks like a great place to hike. Enjoy the nature! have to add this to our „hike list“
Greets from Yogyakarta Airport. Off to Medan to explore Sumatra Jungles.

@Mizmazzle - for the last 10 yrs i'm hiking in denim, for the sole reason that i destroyed 2 pairs of technical hiking pants from patagonia and in less than a year. i got recommendations to go for fjallraven but denim is good enough for me. it does dry a bit longer but it doesn't tear on any occasion, and the zippers dont fall apart. i do use technical clothing for cycling but for hiking and trekking i go with denim and nike dri fit shirts. also i dropped the boots for approach shoes, but that's another story. ATM hiking in dolomites, no sun, therefore no spectacular photos but i'll do my best here

@prpx Not too shabby of a view to be honest
Habe fun!!I also hiked in denim for the past years but i sometimes don’t like how sweaty that can get. I think I found my dream outdoor pants in the 734 Rip Stop Cargos
Haven’t tried them in colder weather but they were phenomenal in Indonesia. -
@prpx nice yo!! I def hike in jeans on the reg in the winter. Summer gets really hot in Colorado so it’s more technical fabrics. Backpacking I always pack in my ducks and like a 12oz denim shirt for fishing in and bushwhacking through brush and off trail stuff. Nice and tough fabric. Damn near indestructible!!
Wall space is expensive in Munich and there’s not much left in our apartment. The eagle is a contender for sure.
