I created this site while planning a longer expedition across the Norwegian mountains and struggling to find solid, practical information in one place. Most resources were scattered, out of date, or tailored to someone else’s idea of what mattered. So I began keeping my own notes—first for myself, and later, for others who might find them useful.
Over time, the site grew into something a little more structured. Today it holds expedition reports, planning tools, technical notes, and equipment lists—based entirely on what I’ve used and tested in the field. There’s no commercial agenda. No sponsors. No ads. I prefer it that way.
Who it’s for
If you’re heading into the Norwegian mountains—whether for a day walk in the fjellheimen or something more ambitious across the vidda—you’ll find detailed, practical resources here. Fellow glacier travellers on the breen, hut-to-hut hikers along the DNT-stier, winter campers, or anyone navigating snow, ice, or logistics in a Nordic setting should feel at home.
Some readers also arrive here from quite different routes. Board members, founders, or investors may come across this site while wondering what sort of person works in technology investments and still writes about crampons. There may be something here for them, too—perhaps in seeing how mountain principles translate to boardroom decisions.
What you’ll find
Each expedition report is more than a route description. I’ve included daily logs, trail conditions, equipment notes, and a full debrief—not because anyone asked, but because that’s how I work.
The most extensive is MASSIV—a 21-day solo crossing of Norway’s highlands, undertaken late in the season. Every stage is documented—altitude, distance, gear performance, logistics—with neither gloss nor omission. If you’re planning something similar, it may be a useful reference point—or at least a cautionary tale.
The technical section covers safety routines, cold-weather systems, route planning, and kit selection. The Knowledge Base includes practical skills—from basic mountain safety to more technical methods—drawn from direct experience, not theory. The Downloads area offers templates for packing lists, fuel planning, GPS tracks, and other tools built for Norwegian conditions.
Tracking activates only during significant expeditions: MASSIV crossings, remote brefall climbs, or extended winter traverses. It’s updated by satellite every ten minutes and works independently of mobile coverage.
You may also come across references to hemmelige hytter i Østmarka—secret cabins in Oslo’s eastern forest. But don’t expect coordinates. Some things remain unwritten.
Staying connected
Feel free to explore the expedition reports, the planning resources, or the technical section. The articles here stay close to the outdoors, though now and then I explore where mountain thinking meets boardroom reality. I occasionally post longer business reflections elsewhere—usually on LinkedIn.
Comments are turned off on the site, but you’re welcome to continue the conversation over on the florus.no Facebook page.
Wherever your journey takes you, I hope you find something of use here!
