Outdoor Adventures

After we looked at the Tentipi last week and how this can offer the perfect way to make camping attractive to the whole family we have decided this week to explore what we think might be the perfect one person tent. Iconic Swedish tent manufacturer Hilleberg have been producing the Soulo since 2008 and in this time it has emerged as the gold standard of strong and durable one man tents. We’ve taken a closer look at what makes this such an incredible shelter for any expedition in the latest Nordic Outdoor blog.

Our resident adventurer Harvey takes one of our most popular products out for another rigorous gear test. The Vidda Pro trousers from Fjallraven are a bushcraft staple thanks to their tough material and clever design features. Read on to see how they fare in less than favourable conditions!

One of the most iconic Hiking events in the world will be hosted in the UK for the first ever time this Summer. The Fjallraven Classic UK is a three day hike over 60km of some of the best scenery in the United Kingdom. Starting at Blair Atholl the trek will progress through manicured parklands through woodlands and into valleys surrounded by some of the most iconic Scottish mountains.

Here at Nordic Outdoor we love to see the gear we sell get given a good test in the environment it was designed for. The Amundsen Heroes Turtleneck is one of our favourite items from the last season and our local Action Man Harvey Strachan last weekend put it to the test showcasing it's just as good at the top of a Munro as it is in a cosy Edinburgh pub. Find out how Harvey and the Nordic Outdoor team got on with this iconic piece of knitwear in the latest Nordic Outdoor blog. 

As a Scandinavian company, we believe that the outdoors should be a natural part of everyday life. We call it ‘friluftsliv’. This view is ingrained in children from a young age and is very much a constant part of their education growing up. But while Scandinavians have their children outside from an early age, British children are among the most housebound in the world. Last year a poll was conducted that showed that 75% of UK children spent less time outdoors than prison inmates.

In late April the Nordic Outdoor team were invited out to Meiklerig Woods in East Lothian for a day of cooking and Bushcraft.

There are few things in the world more relaxing than the crackle of a camp fire.

Last year we were excited to team up with Jonny Stage, founder of Sandgrouse Travel and expeditions.

Here at Nordic Outdoor we love to hear about your adventures and there isn’t a better adventure this year than the 2019 Polar Academy.

Natalie Maximets, the eco-writer, was kind enough to reach out and write a guest blog for us. Read on to discover more about the Haglofs brand, and some activities you can do whilst wearing it this winter.
