    I really enjoyed that. Quick story about Denmark. I was there in 2005 just traveling around and I ended up in the whimsically named town of Middelfart, every room in town that I could afford was booked. So I was slinking around a semi-residential area planning on sleeping in the bushes once it got dark. A young couple out for a walk with their baby in a stroller stopped me and asked if everything was ok. I told them I'm good just cant find a place to stay. They told me to hang tight, they went home and grabbed a tent etc. picked me up in their car and took me to a campground. In the morning they collected me and took me to a bus station, but not before offering to drive me to my next destination..... the kindness of strangers.

    I'm another camper you got into a hammock! I'm going this week, wish me luck. :)
    Actually, you're a big part of why I got that final push to go camping in general. It's just that you're about the entire reason I want to try a hammock. All do respect to the ultralighters and through-hikers, but when you mentioned sleeping for 10 or 11 hours in the middle of the woods, that's what really spoke to me.

    Slapping a big like on this video, just like Shug slapping his bass!
    Beautiful sights. Great bicycle culture. Nice seeing some Dutchware out in the wild. Great cultural exchange. Shug's new Viking nickname is little bear. :)
    23:30 I love this clip. Wheeling the rolling luggage through the woods.
    I thought a lot about my stove options before I purchased one, and I went with the butyl type burner with propane adapter and the 1lb refillable tanks for ease of travel. Seems like propane is one of the most accessible fuels around the world even if it's not the lightest for hiking about. But that's why I bike more than I hike, and I really like having the option to do some serious cooking. :)

    What an awesome event to be a part of. It just goes to show that, the world over, we are all more the same, beyond the cultural differences. Common interests are a bridge that makes crossing easy. We all can take a lesson from it.
    Also want to mention about the "ripple effect" of sharing passions and experiences. It's humbling to see what a huge impact that our actions and sharing can have on others. What is passed along by example can be like starting an unstoppable avalanche.
