Another new Scandinavian blog has been launched that is worth having a look at. It also has one of the slickest names, for those of you who like the work of Milan Kundera.
To start, Gustav Boström has focussed on the Bushbuddy stove with a series of really very helpful posts, including one on using the stove above the tree line. But the blog will not just be about stoves.
“How light can we go without being crushed by the heavyweight reality? Thoughts on lightweight backpacking and software engineering”
Gustav promises thoughtful quality rather than regularity so it might be worth linking to his XML feed.
Gustav’s insights on the BushBuddy above tree line are excellent indeed, and surely will be a valueable resource to many who plan to take their wood stove up north.
I would agree with that Hendrik. You can use the Bushbuddy above the tree line, and in bad weather, but it takes some practice and you need to be prepared.
While there are other fuel options the Bushbuddy is far more flexible than many — but only if you can get it to light !!!
Many thanks for your encouraging comments, especially Hendrik that encouraged me to start writing. I’m very positively surprised that I have gotten so many comments already. It is a rather narrowly defined subject.
It would also be interesting to complement this series with what works in the Alps and in Scotland, but I have as yet no personal experience of these areas. Hopefully I will get a chance to go to Scotland and try it out for myself sometime.
I’m more than happy to help Gustav. I’ll be interested in following your blog. I reckon Scotland will be pretty similar to Scandinavia but it would be good to see you over here at some point.
