Outdoor gear (1)

Sto pensando di ampliare migliorare ed ottimizzare la mia attrezzatura da outdoor, integrando materiale mancante (da arrampicata, ad esempio, tenda monoposto ultra light e altra roba varia) e modificando parte del materiale che già ho, anche magari rivendendo quello che sta nell’armadio, al fine di avere pronta dell’attrezzatura per escursioni su più giorni di vario [...]

Burner and fire starter kit from ESBIT

Click on the images to get high res view on flickr I built this kit with the purpose to carry some of the stuff I love to have with my while hiking. It’s meant to be an Esbit burner and carry all the stuff I might need while using it. Nothing too complex and definitely [...]

Irregolari Map Course

Primo post in italiano del blog. Mi fa quasi strano onestamente, dopo non so nemmeno quanto tempo che esiste, scriverci un post nella mia lingua madre. Comunque sia, argomento del post: il mio club di softair, o airsoft che è meglio. Più nel dettaglio la preparazione dei soci, per quanto riguarda vari aspetti. Ancora più [...]

There’s no place like home…?

You may say that. You may think that. Well… fuck off. It’s a lie. I spent the last month away from home, in southern Italy, exploring, diving, eating and doing a lot of stuff. I met people and spent a great time. While coming back home I stopped for a meeting with some friend and [...]

and here it comes

the Monsoon backpack that I mentioned here is finally arrived 2 days ago. It’s a very nice versipack, not too big, not too small. can contain a lot of stuff but not too much. I’m trying different options to carry all my stuff, because the way I had in mind it’s not completely viable, obviously. [...]

EveryDayCarry kit

I’m building up some sort of extensive EDC kit to use with my new-coming gearslinger (Maxpedition monsoon). it’s a 1600c.i. backpack, plus some MOLLE attachments on the outside, so it can carry a lot of stuff. Due to its being a gearslinger – which means that it has only one shoulder strap  - it’s not [...]

I made the request to enlist, finally. I made it last friday, a week ago. Today was the last day. I have now to wait a letter from our DoD that will tell me that my request is accepted and I have to go to take my two-days test somewhere i don’t know when (in [...]

July/10 trip

SoHead’s meeting @ Sora and sea week in July/10

packing checklist

I’m gonna leave Florence (where I live) for some days at the end of this week. I’ll probably stay away till the end of the first week of August, so I’ll need some stuff on my shoulders. It won’t be an interrail but I’ll travel some distance; I have to go to meet a friend [...]

and here we are, gentlemen

It’s over. We made it. I came out with a score of 84/100; more than the minimum that I needed (80) but less than what I was expecting (90) after all. They had to fight to pass everybody, so they couldn’t do it to raise scores. Anyway it’s fine. Enough for me and I’m happy [...]
