Shakedown Request - First Fastpacking Adventure in Austria
After a year of looking for the right fastpack and finally finding it, I'd like to take it out for a spin when it arrives and put the rest of my gear (along with my body) to the test.
Key Infos:
- Elevation around Treeline (~1800m), sometimes above with a few exposed sections
- Mid September, Austrian climate: Up to 20°C and down to around 10°C I assume
- Sleeping in closed bivouacs, tarp shelter maybe after getting some experience
- Around 60-70km and 3000m of vert, over 3 days and 2 nights. I will have to use public transport on day 1 & 3 to get to and back from trail.
Feedback:
I would like to realise blind spots. What did I miss? What should I leave? What did you learn on your first trips?
And if you have route recommendations that go from emergency shelter to shelter in Austria, I'd love to hear about those too!
