This isn’t really a gear blog. Not exactly. It’s not just a travel diary either.
The Wild Fjord is something a little harder to define—maybe that’s the point.
I’ve always had one foot in the digital world and the other in the dirt. I spend my workdays helping people learn through eLearning, designing experiences behind screens. But when the work is done, I go looking for what you can’t download: cold wind, quiet trails, gear that actually works, and stories worth telling.
That’s how this space began—an authentic outdoor gear blog built around field-testing what I carry, reflecting on the journey, and reconnecting with something wilder.
Why I’m Doing This
I wanted something that would pull me out of the cycle of just consuming content and into creating something of my own. Something that lives closer to the bone.
I’m learning to slow down, move with intention, and rediscover what makes me feel alive. This blog holds me accountable to that.
I also want to remember the little things: the sound of rain on a tent roof, the way the sky turns over the fjell, the first time a new pair of boots actually feels like yours.
These details get lost in the noise if you don’t carve out space for them.
This is me carving that space.
What You’ll Find in This Outdoor Gear Blog
If you’re reading this, maybe you’ve felt it too. The itch to simplify. To explore. To reconnect with something wilder and more meaningful.
Maybe you’re curious about gear that holds up, trails worth wandering, or what it takes to show up for yourself in new ways.
I hope this place gives you ideas, inspiration, and the occasional nudge to step outside your comfort zone—even if it’s just to take the long way home.
I won’t promise perfection, but I will promise honesty. If I say a pack worked, it worked. If a plan failed spectacularly, I’ll tell you that too.
You won’t find filters or fluff here. Just stories from the edge of the map, written in trail dust and coffee steam.
What’s Next?
Right now, I’m gearing up for a few big hikes. The kind that’ll take me back into the Arctic and far beyond my comfort zone.
I’ll be sharing the prep, the stumbles, the gear wins, and the wild moments as they come. And I’ll be learning how to capture it all a little better—through words, photos, and hopefully some beautiful, imperfect video.
Thanks for reading and following along this journey. I hope The Wild Fjord becomes your go-to for real stories and gear from an authentic outdoor gear blog.
The trail starts now.
