Welcome! This is a place about all things ultralight backpacking.

My name is Stephan Szöllös. For over 20 years I have been drawn to experience nature by moving through it. With it, together in a sort of dance. I haven´t really thought much about why I love the mountains and nature so much but I think it comes down to the fact that

nowhere else can I be so singularly immersed in just "being". There is nothing else, just me and whatever nature offers.

It´s the place where I feel most alive, most energetic and at the same time most happy and at peace. I believe (and for all you science people out there, there exists a bunch of hardcore evidence to prove this) that moving is vital for your wellbeing, not just physically but equally important for your soul as well. The reason for starting this blog was to share with you the wonderful world of nature through my experiences. Beautiful places to see and what gear you might want to consider to make your own adventure possible. Welcome, I hope you will find my work inspiring enough to get out there.
