To inspire us and get us outdoors
Who doesn't need inspiration before an adventure? Take out at home the maps, books and guides that will accompany you before, during and after your adventure... Here's a proposal for them.
1- Maps and Guides
One of the "fashionable" adventures is that of bivouacking on a Pyrenean peak. Well, with this book you will find not only the description of the ascent to thirty extraordinary summits where it is possible to spend a night closer to the stars, but it will also help you with all the information you need to successfully complete the adventure. And if we're talking about bivouacs, perhaps the book can be accompanied by our guide "Bivouac: a guide to go light, move fast and be more autonomous in your activities.". Well, there you will also find equipment that would fit in one of those bivouacs 😉.
2- Scratch-off World Map
We collect everything, books, maps... but also much more. Behind every country we scratch on this map is an experience that is marked and remembered.
3- Books
Books inspire us, make us fly, dream; they tell us, they tell us, they accompany us. What better way to give a book as a gift. Here is our proposal for outdoor, adventure and mountain lovers.
At a time when living in the maelstrom and stress prevails, a proposal to experience the mountain from the calm, contemplation and feeling. A proposal that brings us Juanjo Garbizu in his new book, after Monterapia.
Mountaineering lives in epic stories, and this book brings us a real one, of struggle for life in the Andes. Sometimes reality outweighs fiction. In book or film, 'Touching the Void' is a must.
With humour, this book brings us closer to one of the most widely studied issues in the outdoor world. Pure survival.
4- Films
For those who prefer it on film, here is also our selection.
The world's longed-for highest peak and a tragic true story.
A great hiking route, Pacific Crest Trailas a means to find oneself again.
Based on a true story that captivated half the world. A call to the wild that had fatal consequences. What brought Christopher McCandless to Alaska? Both in the film, directed by Sean Penn, and for those who dare to read Jon Krakauer's fabulous book. Not to be missed.
Practical gifts, under €40, ideal for Secret Santa.
5- Solar charger
In the mountains we sometimes have to put our mobiles on a budget for fear of running out of battery. This is an element of safety in the outdoors. When we go away for several days we can make use of this useful solar charger, so that charging equipment is not a problem. on multi-day routes.
6- Multi-tools for bikers
