Life career<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Even if the nocturnal noises of hedgehogs & Co. were sometimes a bit frightening, even as a child I preferred to sleep outside in the garden on the swing than in the bed at home; instead of high-end down sleeping bags, there was only a stack of cotton blankets back then. The afternoons after kindergarten (and also later after school) instead of sitting on the sofa with TV series, I usually spent on extensive forays through the surrounding nature and actively dealt with plants and animals. Practical utensils such as binoculars, knife and compass were part of my everyday life, and I fearlessly paddled down the Elbe with self-made means of transport; not always to the delight of my concerned family. My academic interest was primarily in the natural sciences, e.g. in biology and geography, I voluntarily created cross-curricular documentation work, which was not only published in the daily newspaper, but even found its way into the Natural History Museum. During my two years in the military, I learned to improve the basics of survival, as well as to appreciate the supportive use of technology; I was particularly impressed by special vehicles. I then deepened the knowledge I had already acquired with the courses in nature conservation and vehicle technology, and I consolidated my practical skills with the master’s degree in motor vehicle trade. It was always important to me to be the bridge between the two worlds, the committed conservationist and the innovative technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personality cult is repugnant to me, because this egoism has rarely had a positive effect in human history. And even when I was working for a large automotive group for several years, I was always willing to give up my career. Awards for diligence and environmental protection at the time (e.g. „Best Waste Collector 1987“) meant just as little to me as later letters of praise and thanks from my employer. Such „medals“ remind me more of lavishly decorated grave wreaths, but give life no real meaning. The consistent results of my activities are much more important to me, and if I have to, I will move mountains to do so. Organizations in which I worked, as well as a self-founded association, were ultimately not effective enough for me, and over time turned out to be more of a compulsive shackle in a community than that one could effectively achieve a desired goal in this association. As the pioneer that I have always been, I had to find my own, and often completely new, path. In addition to reporting, I also discovered my passion for photography to document it; my constantly growing photo equipment was part of my daily touring luggage from then on. I was always drawn out into the world, traveling to new countries and discovering remote areas. I don’t characterize travel by jumping from one airport to another or even staying in a hotel, but by exploring the variety of landscapes and the different ways of life, which I as a guest like to adapt to accordingly. The path has always been the goal of every conscious journey. As much as this wisdom is often used, not all people are fully aware of its importance. In addition to the wide world, I still enjoy touring regularly through my second (chosen) home, which is relatively close by, the Scandinavian north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning I still used slightly modified cars for my tours, later on based on my own design plans and experience I designed and built extremely durable, reliable touring and expedition vehicles that can be used worldwide. In addition to valuable experience and a reliable touring vehicle, extensive outdoor equipment is necessary for such tours to be a success. The inevitable need to always find the best possible equipment and then to test it in a practical manner increasingly developed a new passion. With the ulterior motive in buying sensible, well thought-out, durable and ecologically and ethically justifiable equipment and clothing to contribute to a more responsible use of the earth’s raw materials, I began to publish my experiences in the form of product reviews. Unique, because authentic-honest, factual-informative, contrast-rich-detailed, and above all 100% independent reviews, which still mostly arise on and of course through my tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Gear & Wear<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Both on my trips around the world and on tours at home, I have repeatedly recognized the need to limit the human impact on our environment to the lowest possible level so that later generations can still enjoy our earth. This responsible sustainability, i.e. my personal motto, required a stamp – the idea of \u200b\u200bBackcountry Expeditions was born. With this project, and after all the urban education measures before, I moved back to the countryside in 2014, to the forest, surrounded by fields, lakes and of course a river. Here, a little far from the permanently distracting stress of civilization, I had a clear head and started working intensively on my own website together with a friend. It should be completely different, not a trendy mass product, but an outstanding work of photojournalistic work. Since then, new photos, meaningful product reviews, technically sound knowledge and valuable insights have been added almost every week. My website took up so much time that in principle there was no time left for my actual job. That being said, after all these years of operation, the site had to come up with costs at some point. So, without further ado, I made backcountry expeditions my profession – a vocation that I’ve been striving for all my life and to which I can devote myself 100% ever since. With the four cornerstones in the logo, Backcountry Expeditions is registered as a protected trademark with the German Patent and Trademark Office, because as an idealist I didn’t want to make myself known, but above all my idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
