Today it is 8 days to Christmas, and today it is about safety and a modern explorer..

When it comes to Mountain/outdoor safety it begins with planning, Preparing and to predict. Normal risk management from that point of view. Planning, is to understand risk-factors and train for the special adventure or area you are going to. Preparing is train for difficulties, both physical and psychological. And over all knowledge, and experience of equipment etc. You can also train your ability of predicting risk and difficulties. The more difficulties you have been exposure of the better skills you got over all..

You can also build your own safety kit. And I think you always should have some kind of communication equipment for rescue with you. such as a spot tracker.

The training today was real tough. 3 stations about 12 minutes with row-machine, Ski-machine and cycle. oughh!!

One of the real explores in Sweden is Oskar Kihlborg, the second swede on the top of Mount Everest. He has always some new challenge upcoming. Like when he did go between Gothenburg and Stockholm by longboard…
