Nordic Outdoor takes great pride in sourcing and providing quality outdoor gear for our customers, so I thought it would be a nice idea to provide some information on where is good to use your outdoor gear. Here are three great walks near to each of our shops, and one more in Scotland because I have a big soft spot for it. .
If you follow our blog you will already have been introduced to Billy, who sits neatly one slot above Daniel in the Naslund family hierarchy. I recently had the pleasure of looking after Billy for a week while Daniel was on holiday and it got me thinking about how to incorporate micro adventures in to a dog’s daily life so that a short walk around the block, or to the park, doesn’t become the highlight of their day. Points to anyone who gets what song this blog title is inspired by! .
School is out, the sun is out (well occasionally up here in Scotland) and the outdoors is calling! If you didn’t already know, we love the outdoors and really believe that spending time outside and connecting to nature is vital to our health and wellbeing. Summer is a great time to put down the tv remote or game controller and get the whole family together for some fun outdoors..
If you’ve read this blog before you’ll know that we are big fans of using wool not only in the winter but during the summer as well. As such, it might not come as a surprise that the sight of staff wearing Aclima LightWool is a regular occurrence around the office here at Nordic Outdoor. Because of this, I thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at some of those products and offer an insight into why we like them so much.
There are very few better ways to get closer to nature than by camping. Well, you might get closer sleeping under the stars without any equipment, but I live in Scotland and I’m thinking comfort here as well, so camping in a tent is a good compromise. That night time beer also feels even more deserving after you have built your home for the night. Kicking back with a beer and admiring your hard work surrounded by beautiful landscapes is the ultimate outdoor zen. .
Meet Billy, born and raised in Alaska – and a holder of a Swedish passport with stamps from both France and the UK in it. Like any American he is very friendly, has a love of hot dogs, and is not afraid to make his opinions known. Oh yeah, he’s also a dog.
Eating outdoors is great fun for all the family but cooking outdoors when camping can often seem like a daunting task and it is easy to opt for simple, fuss free meals. This doesn’t have to be the case, there are plenty of tasty dishes you can make when camping that are simple and stress free.
When the idea of picking five favourites for summer use was first brought up, I thought ‘nice, this’ll be quick and easy’. About five minutes later my list of five products had about fifteen on it. Being the glass half full kind of guy I am, I choose to see that as a representation of the fact that I work with something I like rather than how patient of a woman my wife must be.
After some creased brows, ums’ and ahs’, and general indecisiveness, here’s.
Summer is just around the corner which means more chance of nicer weather, longer nights and ample opportunity for fun outside. To help give you an insight into some of the products we stock, and why we are big fans of them ourselves, Daniel and I are going to share our top 5 picks for summer over the next two weeks. First up, it’s me, Jen. .
Adventures and the outdoors don’t always need to wait until your annual leave comes around. With a little bit of imagination, it’s easy to squeeze in a taste of adventure to weekday evenings and weekends, even if you only have a couple hours to spare.
I love adventure, especially small bursts of spontaneous adventure, it helps clear my mind and refresh my soul. Here are five of my favourite micro-adventures which will liven up your week and hopefully help inspire you to have more.
