I am an avid hiker who spends all of his free time hiking with family and friends across Europe. I participate in hiking marathons (ExtremWandern) that are 50 km in 12 hours or 100 km in 24 hours. These hike's take their toll on gear, and I am constantly looking for new equipment that will hold up to the distance and the elements. You will be able to not only see the products I bought but also watch me using them on the marathons and then provide an honest review based on an extreme test. Have you ever bought a pair of hiking shoes based on someone's review who only probably walked 20 km in them? Wouldn't it be better to see how they stood up after 300 km? That is my goal, as well as showing you videos of me hiking through some of the most beautiful landscapes that Europe has to offer. I hope you enjoy the site and the content, and I hope to see some of you out their on the trail.
