I'm a PhD student in atmospheric remote sensing in Kiruna, Sápmi (Lapland), Sweden. I first came to Stack Exchange for practical reasons: Tex.SE has been of major help when I wrote my licentiate (midterm) thesis. Since then, I have discovered the joy of many websites. As my network profile will show, I'm interested in travel, outdoor, scientific skepticism, and as I work in academia, also in academia and LaTeX.

Mar 12	comment	Rapid backpack readying During summer I'm out almost every weekend. Simply by the routine of going often it takes me perhaps 30 minutes to pack my stuff.
Mar 12	comment	May hiking in Eastern California @theJollySin I'm aiming to depart either in the morning of 9 May, alternatively evening of 8 May, and I have a train from Reno 13 May 4pm. I'm considering the White Mountains but being new to the area, I prefer to have trails. I realise the High Sierras will be full of snow, but what about the lower-lying areas in Sierra National Forest? San Joaquin river? Kaiser or Dinkey Lakes wilderness areas?

Feb 25	answered	How far is a reasonable distance for someone to hike on their first trip?
Feb 25	comment	How far is a reasonable distance for someone to hike on their first trip? Are you planning day hikes or multi-day hikes? For multi-day hikes, are you planning to stay in cabins or in a tent? Do these cabins have food or do you need to carry your own? Do they have cooking facilities or do you need your own?
Feb 25	revised	Booking Alpine huts added note of warning
Feb 25	comment	Booking Alpine huts Really? Then things have changed a lot since the 1990s. That is of course possible.
Feb 22	comment	How to find a secluded cabin to rent But please do not cross-post! I was just suggesting, you might want to ask on both metas to find where it fits better, then possibly migrate!

Feb 11	comment	Trekking in the himalayan region I propose to migrate to The Great Outdoors.
Feb 7	comment	May hiking in Eastern California @theJollySin I aim for a hike one week at a stretch, but I'm open for other options as well.
Feb 7	comment	Is backcountry hiking in northwestern Russia safe? Where is it not? The biggest risk I take presently is crossing rivers and it may still be the biggest risk. I'm sure some areas are safer than others, but being unfamiliar with Russia and having heard different things from different people, I'm curious about some evidence-based answers.
