Yesterday, legendary Tormond Granheim visited us. In 2006 Tormod became the first man to ever ski down the north face of Mount Everest. The triumf became a tragedy when his friend Tomas Olsson on the way down died in an accident. Tormod visited us together with Sune from his sponsor Bergans.

A few days ago Tomas from swedish tent producer Hilleberg paid us a visit. We discussed the previous season. We are selling pretty large numbers of Hilleberg tents. For the coming spring 2009 season Hilleberg will introduce the Kaitum series in a GT version, that is with a larger apse. Starting in 2009 some tarps and extra flooring for apses will be produced in south east Asia. In doing this, Hilleberg will be able to produce more tents in their own Estonian factory. Because of quality contro...

Back in office since a few days after a wonderful vacation. I prefer a rather early vacation in order to be back early and be able to prepare for the coming season while others still enjoy the summer. Now it seems summer has really arrived to Sweden. Normally hot weather means less orders for e-business but so far we have had a really good july. The bes ever actually. During my vacation I visited New York. Amongst others I bought a book by Karen Berger "Backpacking & Hiking". I like her wr...

I must take the opportunity to write a line about Handpresso - the worlds smallest espresso machine. We got our delivery yesterday (now on stock!) and everybody wants one of their own.

We were supposed to get this new model during May but now it seems it will take at least another month, probably lo...

On the ISPO fair in Munich this January, Klattermusen launched the new Mjolner series of backpacks. As usual when it comes to Klattermusen and new products there are quite a few innovations. Worth to mention is the V-FREE FLEX carrying system focusing on unburden the muscles when carrying the backpack. Instead the weight is mainly on the bone structure. We think this is an interesting product and will keep Klattermusen Mjolner on stock from May when the first backpacks will be delivered.

We started looking at the different e-store sollutions offered in Sweden for about a year ago now. We decided to work with SiteDirect and we have by now learned to know each other pretty well. I´m sure the site will be really good but it has been a long jurney. In the mean time I will publish a picture taken at the ISPO fair in Munich, January this year.
