Alpine lake camp out & fly fishing

Dream realised!

New video now online

During the winter I spotted a series of high alpine lakes while skiing on one of my favourite slopes in France. Last week, I was able to hike into the back country for a campout and some fly fishing.

This one isn’t a van adventure, but I always carry a lightweight tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad combo on board for any impromptu nights away from the vehicle.

Forclaz sent me a selection of their new unbleached and lightweight range, all of which is sold at Decathlon stores and is very competitively priced. Head over to their website to find out why the choice on the unbleached gear, and how super packable this kit really is.

Check out the video for a look at the kit in my bag, and to see if I was able to land one of the native trout that are resident up in the lakes. Either way, this destination really was worth the hike to reach. It was stunning!

See you on the road. Alex.
