“Backcountry-Expeditions”
My motto, Backcountry-Expeditions, means backcountry discovery trips, and stands for both unique adventure trips with an expedition character and a holistically conscious way of life. As a passionate adventurer, I stand for honesty, authenticity, transparency, experience, and knowledge; The whole thing is seasoned with a sustainable dose of nature conservation, as well as an appropriate pinch of social criticism.
From self-sufficient nomadic hiking in the wilderness to adventurous paddling tours to global 4×4 road trips, as a tour guide I organize personally organized adventure tours together with you. In favor of sustainable nature conservation and a maximum sense of adventure, exclusively in a small group of a maximum of 6 people. Privately with friends, your colleagues, for students, or as part of a social-psychological project; A lot is possible depending on your needs. At your very special request, I can travel exclusively with you alone, i.e. the two of us, to your personal desired destination! I am not a tour operator in the traditional sense, but basically realize everything that I think is feasible.
Traveling around the world with all sorts of equipment, I work as a photo reporter and create detailed, 100% independent product reviews. Due to the high demands placed on my expeditions and my belief in true sustainability, I only deal with high-quality outdoor products. Because today’s advertising is almost always opposed to free, independent, i.e. critical reporting, I expressly distance myself from all the opportunistic influencers who, above all, actively contribute to promoting a society of stupid consumer idiots, and thus indirectly to the progressive destruction of ours responsible for the environment.
Too many people today live quickly and superficially, taking less and less time for the important things in life. Really long stays in remote regions are therefore the exception; they are often limited to more or less short but comfortable holidays. As a result, good suppliers have become just as rare as well-thought-out, tried-and-tested, long-lasting products. Product manipulation to ensure controlled shelf life (planned obsolescence), entertaining model changes, questionable Far East productions and, to top it off in PR, the usual sustainability lies predominate. Because I don’t give in to this questionable development, have always taken my path outside the mainstream, and with my tours I still know what’s really important outside, I now have invaluable practical experience. Since 2021, I have also been an independent product developer of high-quality outdoor equipment that has been tested directly in the wilderness and made in Germany.
In principle, my opinion cannot be bought and is based exclusively on rational facts, idealistic values, self-learned knowledge and my own experiences. This website therefore represents a globally unique outdoor encyclopedia of hand-picked reports, helpful reviews and qualitative photo documentation. Due to its complexity, my website is still desktop-optimized, and I certainly don’t chase after neutered, fast-moving mobile views. From the beginning of its existence up to and including today, my site has been 100% free of annoying pop-ups, misleading links, dubious offers, paid advertising, affiliate systems, and lies anyway. Of course, this also applies to my YouTube channel, which has existed since 2020, on which I increasingly reflect the content of this page. If you like my honest work, if my informative reports and recommendations for a much more sustainable lifestyle help you, I would be happy to receive any form of support; Thank you.
Note: This English site only exists in its basic form to convey to the reader what I am about. For the complete content I refer to the German main page.
