Ted Weirum is an adventurer, content creator and entrepreneur based in the south of Sweden. Ted inspires his followers on RU-vid and Instagram by documenting the raw, unfiltered reality and beauty of adventures in nature. In 2021 Ted completed “Fjällfararnas Gröna Band” when hiking the 1140 km distance from Grövelsjön to Abisko in 40 days. Ted is also known as an ambassador for the outdoor company Fjällräven, a result of the many reviews he made in the dawning days of this RU-vid channel.
Here you'll find reviews on different outdoor gear, clothes and accessories. I also go on adventures and share my story here. The goal of this channel is to become a meeting point of people who are interested in the outdoors and quality gear.

Hey Ted, great breakdown of your setup! I had questions about your "caves" on your rear rack; I wanted to email you if that's okay. They're a really cool solution for packing. I also was wondering if Fjallraven sponsored you or provided any of the gear to you?

Hello Ted, great review! I just bought this jacket in green colour. The orange shirt you are wearing in this video, is Fjallraven too? If so, which model is?
Really great to see you back on here Ted 👍🏼 I’ve missed your content. It’s been 15 years since I was in the Okavango and this has brought those experiences back for me. 3 magical days spent in the Delta with great people. The only down sides were the 6ft spider nest up in a tree above where we had to stop and boarder into the delta, followed by the friend I brought back in my knee which a surgeon thankfully removed 😁 Keep up the good content man 👌🏼
First second i was thinking "dafuq, that aint africa", well done as usual Ted. Great work, ima think about signing up for that. Africa is on my bucket list.
I skied the same distance with my father before it was called the Fjällräven classic. The rucksack I had was from the Swedish army model 59. You could say that rucksack reminded me of its existence all the time. All modern backpacks are better than those sacks.
I binge watch cold weather, winter camping. It helps my depression and anxiety Soo much. It's something I REALLY want to do after watching for Soo MANY years. We camped all the time as a family. Thenni camped with my two Best friends in my 20s on overnights at the river. But Ive never Solo camped. Humans is what I'm afraid of. Biggest predator here in Oklahoma would be a bobcats in my region. I don't even own camping gear, but maybe go to garage sales and find stuff. I really wanna go this fall when it's cold. I think it will be Soo good for my mental health. Maybe I'll do it this year. Thanks for the tips and advice.
I use to suffer bad from blisters. The best tip from me is wearing two socks or a dedicated blister sock , Regatta do one . I use them regularly now . Two thin pairs worn together is great . I wear Meindl Bhutans , had Scarpa before those . Scarpa were good , Bhutans are like 5star , top level comfort. Half size bigger than normal is best for me . Changing socks when you feel it . I need ankle support so again Bhutans . Great video yet again 🇮🇪
Looking for a new Pack , I’m thinking Singi 48 with two side pouches , or this 52 Keb . If only there was the perfect pack ah Ted 😂🇮🇪Atb Tony . P.S 5 years ago 😮you’re RU-vid adventure keeps going 😂
Hi! A question if I may? Oddly enough, a priority of mine for tents is light-blocking. Not from the sun, but because I feel bad for disturbing other campers with my bright ass headlamp! Did you feel like it blocked light pretty well in comparison to other tents?
Brilliant advice from someone who’s actually done it 😂😂 Lots of armchair advice in the comments. Anyone who’s covered 20k in a day with a pack is going to know how hard it is . Love the sarcasm towards comments Ted 😊🇮🇪Atb Tony 🇮🇪
Gridarmor har bukser med ventilation, som har mesh. Ikke fan, men mest pga det taktile - der er flere syninger… har endnu ikke oplevet at lynlåsen hænger i.
@@TedWeirumvelbekomme 😃 tak for rigtig gode videoer - informative og med god humor! Har uhelbredelig kræft og altid længtes mod udelivet. Ingen i min omgangskreds har hverken denne længsel eller erfaring, så du er en guldgrube af viden, som jeg har absolut brug for! 39 år og bliver ikke gammel, så det er på tide at følge mit hjerte ❤️ Tak for dit store arbejde og engagement! ❤
I sooo love my burgundy large ulvo pack…I love the fact that I can use the bottom straps for my fleece sweater or rain coat or a water bottle etc…!!! Rick Vancouver BC 🍁🫶😍🍁
They are fun to use! I took one , made in Michigan , " called Worlds Fastest Pocket chain Saw" , highly Doubt ,and cut a couple 3 to 4 inch downed trees blocking our hiking trail, very irritating, so it worked great.
Lol @ bs fear of height when the guy can.jump onto a boulder between 2 cliffs 900 meters up. Yt ers and their fake fears when they know damn well that they arent afraid of said thing. Its them coming up with made up fears. If u were rreally afraid of heights getting up to the cliff would be undoable but jumping onto a biulder is daredevil level shit
it's one thing being afraid of something, it's another doing it afraid. there was people with no fear on that rock, doing handstands and all that, that wasn't me.
I got a 38 liter Klättermusen Raido backpack, which is exceptionally good IMO - except that its too big unless im gonna use it for longer hikes. I just ordered a 24 liter Klättermusen Brimer, which should be just perfect for 1 or maybe 2 nights out (more if i add the accessory pockets). Im not really a youtuber, but i did recently upload a video called "2 person tent + everything you need to go camping in the 19 liter Osprey Ultralight Stuffpack". I used a 1.2 liter pot as prop to show how much space i had left for food, after i had packed the Zpacks Duplex, a generous cook set (even includes a frying pan), my quilt, a short length inflatable sleeping pad, and a mesh t-shirt. I forgot to pack the 1 liter Katadyn BeFree waterfilter, which would have fit in the mesh pocket on the side - and with a bottleholder on the shoulder strap i would have been able to carry at least one extra bottle of water. The video was just to show what is possible, and ill never actually use this pack for any overnighters. However, the 24 liter pack im getting will be my main pack for overnighters from now on 👍
@@TedWeirum I dont have any experience with such things, but it might be fun to give it a shot 🙂 Im not an experienced hiker though. Just a random guy with a "gear fetish", who sometimes goes on overnighters. Im getting the 24 liter backpack tomorrow, and should be ready to give some "initial thoughts" on it pretty quickly. I also got a Hilleberg Bivanorak, which i could perhaps make into a separate section. When used with the Osprey Ultralight Stuffpack, it is no problem to get well into "super ultralight" territory (under 5 pounds). This actually packs so small i could EASILY go on an overnighter with the 15 liter Arcteryx Index 15 backpack. After packing shelter/sleep system, cookset, 2x 0.9l nalgene water bottles, and waterfilter, i still have enough space left that i think i should be able to fit between 5 and 7 packs of "real turmat" backpacker meals 👍
@@TedWeirum Yeah, ill see what i can do. I noted your email, in case you want to delete your message before you get rund down with all kinds of emails 🙂 Thanks for the offer btw. It will be an interesting experience 😁
The Hilleberg Bivanorak is pretty nice as long as its not too warm outside. It weighs half a kilo, and functions as full body raingear, windbreaker, or a "bivy" that allows you to sit up and cook food or whatever. When used as raingear, it doesnt have as good ventilation as a rain poncho, but still MUCH better than a rain jacket - and it is roomy enough to cover a fairly sizeable backpack too.
Overcome your fear solo EASY carry a magnum revolver and a 8" blade survival knife. Also I always carry a proximity alarm(Ebay < $15) and solar garden light with motion sensor as well as a bright flashlight, first aid kit and mini cherry bomb firework. When I hear a noise I light one and throw it out of my tent if the bang does not scare whatever is outside then it is magnum time.
Thanks brother! Most welcome! I have a bit of experience, it depends on what your adventure is, sometimes I find regular rain trousers to do the job just as well, but if your plan is to be in a winter environment then I’d go with the shell trousers!
it would be great if you could do a video on maintenance on the Fjallraven eco-shell jackets, ive had mine for a couple of years but its slowly loosing its waterproofing
@@TedWeirumUnfortunately Fjallraven no longer sells a waterproofing spray. Their website removed all references to their spray and now just talks in vague terms about doing it with “your DWR spray”. Nikwax TX Direct Wash-in for me now.
