    Ännu en månad som drog förbi. Mestadels finväder och medvind. Mycket tid på och kring Holma folkhögskola. Fem dagar i veckan tar en del tid som sagt 😉 Hemomkring bad och en del ute och en del skörd men skoltiden tar såklart på hemmatiden. Ganska trötta efter skoldagarna men så inspirerande. Många finfina studiebesök, mestadels…

    Nedanstående uttryck har kommit upp i minnet då och då senaste veckorna. Om ett halvår är det lika mörkt och ruggigt och däremellan är det mörkare och ruggigare. det muntrar inte alltid upp men ändå 🙂 Inlägget Om ett halvår är det lika mörkt dök först upp på .

    It is probably around 2003 that I first became aware of a then young Mitty, the ‘resident cat’ at Anglesey Outdoors. Nobody knows her exact age, but for cats that is quite some age. At the Anglesey Sea Kayak Symposium in May this year, I realized that there very well could be a next time…

    Lessons from Kentucky’s Antivenom Case When the call comes in, seconds matter. EMS Providers are trained to act decisively, but also within the limits of their medical scope. What happens when those two imperatives collide—when a patient’s survival depends on a treatment that regulations forbid? That question faced a Kentucky EMS crew this spring, and…

    The Challenge Today’s EMS Leaders face more than operational demands – they must also navigate a world shaped by public outrage, political division, and social media amplification. Every statement, policy, or silence can be scrutinized, criticized, or misinterpreted. Balancing staff expectations, public trust, and professional neutrality is harder than ever. Why It MattersOutrage culture can…

    Denne fjellformasjonen er kul! Dette er sett fra Kavåsen-siden av fjellrekka, men flest har nok lagt merke til den fra Steinlandsfjorden. Det er flere som har lagt merke til disse, men jeg hadde ikke kommet i kontakt med noen som visste en god vei opp hit, hadde vært her, eller hva den het. På Norgeskart…

     surfing wooden and plastic kayaks Vid link is after images. I made the wooden kayak last year and have been enjoying getting to know it. Its wider planing shape helps catch softer waves but it still shows a turn of speed with its fins, on the wave face.  The red plastic kayak is a whitewater/hybrid Wavesport Z…

    Hi Bjorn, Hope all is good. Well I finally completed my Panthera that I started 5 years ago! (albeit always some tweaks to make).

     In early September 2025, we booked a self-guided walking holiday with MacsAdventure in which our luggage was transported for us between hotels.   We wanted a true mountain journey, rather than daily hikes from one or two locations, and the Via Alpina West looked like a genuine challenge.  Twenty-five years ago, we hiked the Pacific…

    Området oppå Ånstadblåheia og Lafjellet ble for noen år siden bygget ut til en kraftpark med vindturbiner. Det innebærer jo blant annet en haug med kraftige grusveier i området, sånn at det er kjørbart. Det gjør en hel del av marka uinteressant med tanke på vanlig friluftsliv, men elsykkel er det sånn støy av (hvert…

    Earlier this year, I had purchased a sleeping bag even though I wasn’t planning on getting a new bag. That purchase didn’t work out, and after a multi-month hassle I got a refunded.

    EMS Discussion – Urban Hospital Wait Time vs. Wall Time

    Emergency Department (ED) delays are nothing new, but for EMS Providers, “wall time” is a unique challenge. Unlike a walk-in patient who simply waits for triage, EMS crews remain fully responsible for their patient until the hospital formally accepts care. This Ambulance Patient Offload Time (APOT) often ties up both crews and ambulances, straining already…
