Gear

There is one really great website with reviews of backpacking gear I can recommend: BackpackGearTest.org. It calls itself "the most comprehensive interactive gear reviews and tests on the planet" and I can only confirm that.

Sleeping Bag

Hollow fiber Vaude Nebraska +3/-2/-19. I am currently looking for something lighter for hot summer nights.

Primus OmniFuel Stove

The OmniFuel is one of the best multifuel stoves available on the market. I bought mine for just 130€ plus 12€ for the liquid fuel bottle, which is not included in the package. I have the smallest one, which has maximum filling capacity of 530ml. I found it to be quite sufficient for my needs, as my usual hikes almost never exceed 3 days.

The stove is shipped with 3 different jets 0,45mm (propane-butane gas cartridges), 0,37mm (white gas and vehicle petrol) and 0,28mm (kerosene, diesel and similar).

Hat

Akubra "Snowy River" in Rodeo Brown (custom color). I ordered directly from Australia, because the possibilities to buy one in the size I wanted and especially the color, were severely limited here in Germany. The hat on the picture is the same model, but in "Santone fawn". The crown is 4 inches high. The brim is 3-1/4 inches wide, with a raw edge. The pure fur felt is Akubra's Imperial Quality. The hat is fully lined and has a leather ornamental band. It is also worth noting, that the hat is called after the movie The Man from Snowy River, where exactly this hat was supposedly worn.
