Ultralight family camping
who needs a tent with a view like this on a night such as this. Beautiful evening for a night out under the stars!
Moving to wordpress
You might recall earlier that I wrote a post regarding moving back to weebly from wordpress.. well I reversed and spent the last couple of days moving everything over to WordPress. The reasons are many, but mainly I wanted to combine both of my blogs – kennethshaw.se and ultralightandcomfortable.com and I thought this would be easier to do with wordpress. While I am transferring over everything here there could be slight problems with the addresses and so on. I couldn’t do just an RSS feed dump which means I lost all the comments, likes and shares. So back to square one. Hopefully I will have all the kinks worked out over the weekend.
The wind jacket – Or the ultra secret weapon of the UL community
Yes the title is a bit gimmicky but stick with me here. I got a little inspired here to write about the wind shirt both by a recent post Jörgen from fjaderlatt.se wrote as well as from a recent trip I took where I kept getting the damn question “does that thing actually work?” from fellow hikers out on the trail.

MYOG ultralight and cheap tyvek raincoat and pants
Bringing man back to nature..
Ultralight hiking and gear brings mankind back to nature. period. (see how I did there.. but wrote the actual . and spelled it out to make it more effective). It’s the title and my point. I wrote about going lighter and why you should do it, and it brought some funny images to my mind and something I thought would be fun to write about – mainly because I’m an asshole, but also because I think the people reading this are like me and find what I write to at least to be mildly entertaining.

The duomid
Just a quick post to remind the world how awesome the MLD Duomid is.. It even makes rainbows appear
Video: Glacier water fall along kingstrail in sweden
Found this little spot just over a half broken bridge along kingstrail. You don’t even see it from the normal trail, you just kind of stumble upon it.
Analysis paralysis or GAS?
So which type are you? do you research things to death? read reviews and get a little panicky when you think you found something? And after you get all the information known to human kind, you still can’t make the purchase? You start to sweat, palms get wet and you make a little tinkle in your undies when your about to hit the purchase button? That is called in purely academic terms: Analysis paralysis – or as people like myself might say: Beta. Read More
Inside the MLD Duomid – camp setup
This video is from our third night out along kingstrail. I had apparently put my MLD duomid on top of a bug whole or something as it started to get pretty bad in there. In any case I found a little trick to getting them out. I noticed early on that once the bugs got in they just wanted to get out. So I opened up the top of my Duomid where my bug netting is and noticed within a short amount of time that all the bugs went out without me getting eaten or having to kill them. Read More
