This weeks interview is with Magnus Ormestad the founder of the Husky poddcast.

Hi Magnus what is your background when it comes to outdoor?
”I grew up in the Dalarna, first in Avesta and then we moved to Ludvika. The whole family was very intrested in outdoor life. Skiing in the long run and snowmobile was a common occurrence in the growing up. So the outdoor interest may say that it was in my DNA. Then I think about nature and there is a space of adventure that draws me. Then I worked as a bicycle auction in Stockholm, and in 2009 I went to Åre at a conference and picked me up on the snowboard, and thought it was so fun. So with two old friends we Went to Björkliden and participated in Haglöfs Arctic weekend and on that way it is.

What was it that made you start Husky Poddcast?
-I like to hear others tell me about their experiences and their know how, from their own solid outdoor interest, it was quite natural for me to get the podcast started.
You have actually run over 200 interviews, which has been the best? Or has affected you the most?
-It is very difficult to answer to that, interviews where you enter into a feeling with the interviewer becomes very special. Claes Grundsten for example when he talks about Sarek. Andreas Fransson is, of course, another interview that has become emotional in view of his appearance. Same with Matilda Rapaport as well. So it’s not easy to answer. But a suggestion to you is to listen of that interviews.

What is your dream guest to Poddcast?
-Garry Fisher, Sven Yrvind, Yvon Chouinard, Reinhold Messner are probably some I really would like to interview.
How do you look forward, and how will you develop the pod?
”It would have been fun to work more with the web page as such, too, but nothing that’s on my mind at the moment.
What is your opinion about the outside world, Outside Sweden, Utemagasinet, utsidan.se?
I obviously follow these, I also think that STF’s Tursit and the promotional membership magazine are good. Sidetracked is another paper magazine I’m reading.

Ok, thank you very much for your time Magnus, (and then we vent together for getting the Sidetracked Magazine:-))

The Review of pants is ongoing. The Lundhags Makke vs Stellar Equipment Softshell pant.

 

 

 

 

This two pant a really two different types. One slim fit(Makke) and one more loose fit(Stellar) The Makke is  a slimmed light design, and Stellar is more of a core type.

Both have a very good fit feeling. So the design and finnish is very good. What I would have liked is thou a better strenghtening over the knee, cordura for example. Stellar 150Euro and Lundhags 190Euro. Both got very good ventilation for high physical activities. One advantge of the Makke is the variation of coulor. The Stellar got well thougt trough pockets.

Well designed pockets and good ventilation, one of Stellars advantage. The result will be presented next sunday..
