Trekking with Stone Age equipment through snow and icy winds in Sweden last February, Markus Klek - a self-proclaimed 'north nerd' - discovered that nature is a factor that can only be ignored at one's own peril. Nevertheless, this challenging experience offered him another opportunity to test his tools and equipment and find out how they can be tweaked to better withstand the elements on future trips. Jess Shaw is your host.

Exciting news! Markus' plans for a new experiential prehistory event this winter are getting concrete and this time a small number of participants can take part. Read more about Markus' Nordic Winter Camp that will take place in February 2026.

-> Also interesting: in 2024 Matilda Siebrecht chatted with Markus about his earlier experiences: Nordic Walkabout: Q&A beforehand and Nordic Walkabout: Follow-up discussion.
