Cesar and The Woods: The Cost of Ultralight Backpacking: A Good yet Affordable Starter Kit
http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-cost-of-ultralight-backpacking-good.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2014. The Cost of Ultralight Backpacking: A Good yet Affordable Starter Kit. This is a follow up post to compliment the last Back to Back video I recently put up on Youtube. About the cost of backpacking. After finishing the video, I got to thinking, and thought why not put up a solid yet fairly economical gear list for someone new to Ultralight backpacking? First I'll cover stuff that most people probably have laying around their house, or can be found for super cheap or free. First ...

http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/2015/04/more-reflections-on-diy-myog-synthetic.html
Saturday, April 25, 2015. More Reflections on a DIY / MYOG Synthetic Overbag v2.0: the Saco Verde. I have since field tested El Saco Verde and given a lot more thought to the design of this project. Please see updates below. Last year I wrote about and showed some pictures off of a somewhat unique/specialized DIY/MYOG project for an avid Ultralight backpacker, which is my version of a Climashield APEX sleeping bag that I named Saco Rojo. And also some more M90 for the top shell of the bag. Used in combin...

http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/2015/05/cesars-guide-to-e1-trails-in-sweden.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. Cesar's Guide to the E1 Trails in Sweden: Smedjebacken/Ludvia to Mockfjärd. The official Swedish E1 information website lists this section as part of both Sméleden. First let's start with maps. I strongly. Suggest that anyone traveling the E1 here to buy a good map of this neck of the woods, such as the Lantmäteriet Terrängkartan 638. Need to go off-trail and/or bushwhack. As I also found out after exploring this area myself, even the good map I had was not entirely accurate. Of Mock...

Cesar and The Woods: My Favorite DIY/MYOG Camping Shelter
http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-favorite-diymyog-camping-shelter.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. My Favorite DIY/MYOG Camping Shelter. Want to learn how to make a cheap, easy, effective, and ultralight shelter to sleep in out in the woods? Of course you do. I like to call it my Deluxe Hobo Tent. In my youth I messed around with big, black garbage bags a lot. Used them as ground covers, used them to improve improvised shelters built out of natural materials (makes a great waterproof roof! After you get the shelter up, all you have to do is find some rocks or logs to anchor th...
