Weekend in the countryside and equipment test

Je profite d’un week-end chez my second familyto test my equipment.

My bag is not entirely full, but almost (only toiletries, first-aid kit and small equipment are missing). It weighs 15Kg and is super comfortable once in place. Par contre, j’ai encore du mal à le mettre sur moi sans me casser le dos.

Ensuite, c’était le test de montage de the tent. Because as the salesman said:

Une tente c’est comme des chaussures, ça se test avant de partir.
S’il y a un problème, il vaut mieux le savoir avant la première nuit.

Tests concluants, je suis pour le moment ravis du matériel que j’ai acheté.

Agréable surprise, j’arrive à manipuler mon appareil photo avec les gants de montage. o/

  1. Speaking of gloves again (for the umpteenth time, yes, I know), I saw that Lowepro was making gloves supposedly specifically for photographers. I'm not sure what they're worth, but they'd cost around 30-40€.

  2. Bintz >> I've already bought synthetic fiber under-gloves (like silk under-gloves, but theoretically warmer) and they're very nice.

  3. Hi, there,

    As a pro photographer and ultra-light hiker myself, I strongly advise you to make a post in the French forum. http://www.randonner-leger.org.

    Submit your entire gear list before you leave to the site's community. You'll get a fresh, outside view from very experienced hikers who are well-informed about the gear you need to consider/adjust for your destination.

    :)
