While I enjoy good food and beer, seeing my family and relatives in Amsterdam, a lot happens in the outdoor scene. Here's a look at especially noteworthy stuff - and in case you find something that'esequally excellent, leave a comment with a link!
An awesome video of hiking in Lapland was done by Janne from Lappland Times, which you definitely should go and see!
Fraser went to The Outer Hebrides and besides some awful food he experiences what looks on his superb photos like a splendid holiday.
Not a trip report per se, Heber, the Weekend Hiker, gives us a retrospective on the Ozark Trail and it has some fine photos and good information.
Colin from The Rich Gift of Lins always knows how to frame a photo and tell a good anecdote. His latest one, of Auch Gleann and Ben Lui is funny, interesting and the great photo has you dreaming of the Scottish hills.
I also managed to go out and go packrafting and there's a video there too, so go and see it if you haven't yet!
In the gear department, I was not the only one trying out packrafting. The Japanese ulgear blog shows some great photos of the Alpacka Raft Denali Llama.
Keith, who currently walks the PCT, made a great video on the gear he carries on his trip, and for all future PCT walkers this is recommended to see!
Constantin reviews the GoPro HD camera, a camera which I'd be very curious to try out - it should be perfect for filming my packraft adventures while paddling!
Fjällräven started a blog and while it is quite empty still, I hope that it will be filled with interesting articles from "behind the scenes" soon.
In case you sometimes wonder what Forest Harvesters do, then check out Mike's report to answer that question.
Dave, The Ultralighter, gives us a definition on fuel so if you're new to backpacking and wonder what's all the talk about fuel, check this out.
terrybnd is working on a new video, and shares this rough edit of his latest project with us - go check it out, it already now looks amazing!

You're going out on your own responsibility. If you try out something that I write about here, and it goes horribly wrong, don't come crying to me. Know your limits. Use common sense.
It was splendid :)
