Recent Interview with Fenriz from Darkthrone , Here is a small excerpt:
started hiking FOR REAL in 96, thanks to another freak (thanks Mekki) who gave me a map over half the forest around oslo. i still hike on a weekly basis, that means daily trips. i also got into forest preservation shit the last years, you can say i’m quite into the scene here. i do something called the KJENTMANNSPOST, y’all can look in up in GOOGLE.
CAMPING:
backpack weighs 20 kilos. usually i have to walk 1.5 – 2 hours with that backpack to find camp. i use A MIX of some classic personal fave spots and finding new ones(this year i expect to camp at ten familiar spots and hopefully up to 15 new ones). the forests around Oslo (Norway’s capitol city) are 1600 km2 large, so it’s enough to last for a lifetime. a man should have his own tent. but it is easy for me to say, the nature here up north is EXTREMELY camping friendly, not many dangerous animals or insects. 2 nights ago i woke up in the middle of the night to big birds mating games, that is some of the wildlife, but i am there for the ATTITUDE of it, to GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE and to drink beer and listen to music in the nature too. last year i had 23 trips, this year so far 4 trips (season starts in mid-april, lasts till september-october) (the date now is 3rd of May). it is weather related, like all outdoor interests.it is a complete lifestyle, equipment, clothing, weather reports, orientation, maps, map reading skills, collective travel skills (i don’t use a car) etc. but it’s not a very expensive lifestyle.
