Well crafted as usual. The axe and Trangia ended up on my be-like-Hansen-list 👍🏻 /Rob
Hahahaha, thank you 🤣 I'm surprised you don't owe this already 🙈 where is your Swedish patriotism 😉🤣
That is a beautiful bearded hatchet..I love the northern European attention to detail about outdoor gear and clothing!
It truly is, this is made with the famous Lars Fält as a survival axe, But for me it just works great as a daily driver. The tomahawk style of the axe makes it really nice to use, swing and chop down trees and make firewood. I think we have long traditions with making multi purpose clothing. We needed gear that could last and be used in various condition for generations. 👏🏻
....agree, heated jacket liner was the BEST addition I have made...I wish I had done it years ago...All the best from CANADA!
Glad to hear we are more people who realise this 👏🏻 Better soon than never. What brand did you go for? I do understand there is alot of them on the market. Cheers
Happy New Year Thomas! Hope all is well and you are getting pumped for a great riding season just around the corner. I like the new studio set up. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you James, and happy new year to you as well. I'm getting really eager to start the new season again. I really want to live more on the road this year. Have a great weekend, and thank you for tuning in. Cheers 👏🏻
Quite impressive cinematography with the intro 👏. It's so well done, that you hardly notice, but looking closer, you can see how much attention and detail you've put into it. Great job, and also very useful info on the gear 👍🏻
Thank you sir 🔥 appreciate you notice 🙈 Trying to mix up and create something new every time 😉
Great review and so nice to see you again!
Thank you, so glad to see you tune in again 😃
Love the Gransfor! I have an axe and hatchet... Great video as always!
Thank you Scooter 👏🏻 I have 6 axes from Granfors my self. and they are amazing each one. This handcrafted stuff impress me every time I use it.
Happy New Year Thomas. This will definitely be the year of the gear😎. I remember a trip I had some year back with a rider from UK i met. We ride over some mountain's together ends of August and it was freezing cold, he turned on his his chicken vest as I called it🥴. I do hope he not read this, because my heated jacked is on its way to my door, together with heated insoles🤣👍. We have all swollen a camel or 2 in our lifetime🙄. If this is what i takes to be able to stretch the mc season in both end, I'm shure its a good investment. Hopefully no more need for a half hour in a hot shower after a ride anymore.
Happy New Year Bjørn 🔥👏🏻 Hahaha if have made fun of those old farts with heated gear so many times, but they just smile and know the joke is on me. I guess all people will have this experience in their motorcycle career 🙈 The time spent freezing is so damn wasted 👏🏻👏🏻
Lots of information. And very well thought out filmmaking. You're an inspiration. Thanks from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Thank you Sir... glad you liked it and find it inspirational. I'm trying to mix it up a little and not do it the "same way" everyone else does it. And it a fun way of express my creative outlet trough video 🙈🔥 Cheers
@@tshansen Very creative ideas, making your Top Five a much better experience than with many other RUclipsrs. There is much I have to learn in videos (being a journalist). Thanks, Günter
I've never thought about getting a heated jacket, but heated gloves have been on my list for a long time. Great video!
Thank you Grindheim... I can guarantee that your comfort level will change for the better with heated gear. It is just so damn good 🔥
Nice Top 5 mate...Hope 2022 is good for You :-)
Thank you sir, I really hope 2022 will be good as well. Just need to make the best of it and hope this covid slows down soon. Cheers
Awesome video Thomas, well done!! 👍👍
Thank you Nelio 👏🏻
Nice review. Thanks to you and Mattias, I have some of these excellent brands in my gear now, which I was not aware of. I now carry a smaller Morakniv Garberg. I also have a couple items from Trangia. All excellent quality products. The stove, pan, and fuel bottle. So, you are a great ambassador for introducing these brands to rest of us in USA. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to visit the factories / outlets in person. Thanks. Kam
Thank you Kam... glad you hear you get some value out of our reviews. I try not to focus to much on gear, but there is no way around it. I really enjoy great new gear that makes my life easier. I have the Garberg as well, great knife when I'm out hiking etc. Probably one of my best bushcraft knifes. (yes I have way to many) 🤣 I would love to visit the factory of Mora and Trangia my self. Cheers
Nice round up Thomas. I agree about grunsfor....I brought a large spilting axe from them 8 years ago for home use and it's still doing a fantastic job. 👍🇬🇧
Thank you Darren... The Granfors Bruk axes are Legendary piece of equipment. I have 6 different axes from them now. And they are all great. Hope to visit their factory in 2022, and yes I will bring my camera 😇
Only people laughing at a heated jacket are those in tropical climates. These are a game changer for sure. My wife brought hers to Spain and I know people were laughing. The laughing stoped when the temperature went down to -3C with snow in the mountains.
Indeed... and I hate to admit I was one of the dum dum's who laughed at this before I got my own. And the joke was on me. Damn it is so damn good. I can't understand why I have never thought about using this before. I hate freezing. Cheers Richard 👏🏻🔥
Your editing and production gets everytime better and better. Very well put together and interesting informations. Thank you. Can't wait to see more. Ride safe.
Thank you Mike, I'm trying out new stuff all the time, want to become just a little bit better each time. And with that said... love the drone work in you Seven sisters video 👏🏻
Aha another dutch gs-er tuned in on this great channel?! Hi Mike, and thank you Thomas. I liked your video. For my next Norway trip I might check that vest. I used the trangia 27 and 25 before but now I switched to the trangia mini. Same quality, same results…except way smaller and lighter. There is an old vid on my channel somewhere. Might do a comparison vid someday. Cheers 🍻 and have a nice evening!
@@four38AM It's not a vest, it is a jacket... huge difference in comfort with the heat on the arms (windy area) Yeah, Mattias try get me into buying the mini as well... I would love to see a comparison of it. So out in the garage and impress me mate 👏🏻
@@tshansen 😂😂 lol
Yes Kriega makes great stuff and that backpack is on my radar. Not only for bike riding but also great for hiking.
Indeed it is Sven... I use it when I'm out skiing or just hiking as well. And since it is rigged for my video gear, it is great to attach my camera when out and about. I really good option for more than just riding. 🔥
Well done Hansen👍
Thank you so much Jørgen 👏🏻
Great to see your top 5 picks as far gear goes. Good gear can really make life on the road so much easier! Thanks Thomas for sharing!
Thank you Kalle... the list could be much longer, but as an adventure rider I think this are the gear that stood out the most in 2022. Let's see if it changes next year 😉
@@tshansen since gear is fun, I expect it to change...I know my list changes every year...haha
@@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl Yeah, i really enjoy gear as well! And some change, but some stays the same! Some of my gear is just so damn good for my usage i dont find any reason to change it 🙈🔥
@@tshansen yeah thats right and also good from a sustainability perspective. 👍
I've the same Petzel. Agree. Simple.
It is simple, good and really reliable. What more do you need 👏🏻
We have similar taste: 5 for 5. Although, my Kreiga is the 9T and I use a Fire Box Nano w/ the Trangia, AVADE shirt for heat. Other two items exact match. I also agree with your picks, except I’d have to give a slight nod to my Grayl water filter over the knife. Oh, and I’m also on the 790R. Now if I could only make videos as well as you do. Excellent and always well done. Ride on.
Great mind thinks alike 👏🏻 I had a look at the Kriega 9T but it was just to small for my iPad and gimbal. So I had to size up. But it is still small when you don't fill it up, so there is just no problems with it being a little bit larger. Avade shirt, need to google that. I see that there is many great brands on the market. Here in Norway, it is safe to drink water from about every source you can find, so there is no need for filters. I'm kinda glad for that to be honest. Haha, 790R and.... brothers in gear 👏🏻 Glad you liked it. Cheers mate 🎉
nice studio, you have created. again a smooth video. great work
Thank you Klaus. I'm trying out different setups and places where I could do more talking head videos, so it will be a little bit learning by doing in the next projects. Need to try and see what works best. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen i follow you closely, and learning ! My next project is a tutorial, but i have bit of struggling whit the format.
You are during great.
@@klausdollerup9366 This is something I struggle a lot with my self. It is really difficult to be relaxed and natural in front of a camera when doing talking head. Practise makes perfect 👏🏻
More gear reviews mate. Love it and hate it if I get influenced to buy 😂
Hahahaha... I know the feeling, so just suck it up and get some new gear mate 🤣👏🏻
Great video and valuable tips! 👍 I have thought about getting a heated jacket for a while. I have managed without so far by just adding extra layers of cloths, making me look like a stuffed pig on the coldest days, barely able to move my hands... 😂
Thank you Hestad… there is nothing more to thought about, get yourself one of this jackets. It will change your comfort level for the better. And like a friend of my said, you can even use it in your car, on ski trips etc. 🔥
Thank you
You are welcome. 😃
Hi Thomas,
I have a Petzl as well incl. a red light, rechargeable which I bought for my Iceland adventure in summer 2020, even knowing of the long lasting daylight hours. Now in winter I use it much more often and it's very intuitive to operate.
My Trangia set is 20 years old, maybe more, but I didn't used it so much due to other fuel burners in my 4x4. Now with the T7 it's back in use.
My Fiskars X7-XS is a newcomer from 2021.
So far I have never considered a heated jacket 🤔 and last winter I was happy with my Merino wool base layer and the Adventure Spec layering system.
Let's see what the riding season 2022 has to offer.
Thanks for the inspiration and greetings from 🥶 🇩🇪, Bernd 💙💛🏁🤛🏼
Hello SkyBlue 👏🏻 I have used Petzl at work for many years, and I have to say. They make really great gear. But I never expect a cheap and small headlamp like this would be so great and one gear I use almost every day. (in winter) I'm using the Trangia for all mye hiking and family trips as well, but I don't own a motorhome (yet) I'm looking into getting a camper van, or a 4x4 with roof tent or something similar. The Fiskars does also make incredible axes to a affordable price. I have the X-7 and X-5. The only problem is that the steel is really soft, so you need to sharpen it all the time.
Don't get me wrong... layering is not a bad option. I use this in winter when I'm hiking and skiing. But to eliminate so many layers of gear with just one jacket is a no brainer. And it makes for so much better comfort when riding. It is gear you just need to try to belive how good it is. I'm really bad at changing layers when it's getting cold or warm. stopping the bike, take of a layer, pack it down and ride again. nope... press a button and yes! 🤣
You are welcome brother... have a great week, and let's hope this winter is short. Cheers
Thanks for sharing Tjommi! Looks like a great list. I bet that heated jacket is cozy to ride with this time of year 😜. That backpack is available at my dealer as well, looks like a really good one. The rest on the list is really no-brainers, useful for anyone regardless outdoor activity. Those buns in the frypan looked really tasty. Nice intro and video, 2022 will be the 🚀 Tjommi 🙌
Hahaha, this time of year normal people leave their bike parked for a couple of months 🤣👏🏻 But in all seriousness, you that ride all year around should really consider this. You can even use it the fucktruck Tjommi 😆 If you think you will have use for a backpack, you should really check it out. Try it on and gett a feel for it. Try adding some kg in it so you can feel how good the harness is. The pizza bun's are great, I have so many more Trangia tips, so I really need to continue that series as well 🙈 2022 will be the year tjommi... 🎉
@@tshansen Ha! pizza buns are classic in the influencer comnunity 👀😂🙌.
...and I'm really HOT anyway fucktruckin around... 🔥🤠🍺.
@@Braapncamp Hahaha... you are such a bigger influencer than me 🤣 making food with your fancy gloves and lipstick on 🤣
@@tshansen 😂😂😂👀💪
New gear for you is new gear for us :-)
😂 i hope it was of interest and some of the products can be of help for others as well 😇 Cheers
The Gransfors is currently sitting on my desk - I fiddle with it during conference calls, Teams meetings etc. and recently found that it can shave the hair off the top of my hand....yes, it comes that sharp. I have the Trangia - unused so far, but just got it late Fall, recently picked up some fuel for it so if the rain ever stops around here I'll get it outside for some practice. Nice video intro, sound, well done. Cheers
Yeah, the Gransfors comes crazy sharp straight from factory. I have some of their axes, and the most scary one I own is the Large Carving axe... damn that one is insane 👏🏻 (I do woodcarving) It is safe to say our Swedish friend has influenced you all ready then? 🤣👏🏻 I mostly run it on gas, but it's nice to use the alcohol burner as well 😃 Glad you liked it mate, thanks!
@@tshansen lol! I can’t decide who costs me more money, Thomas or Mattias. I picked up the Amok as well…which I like more than tenting. Over here in the “new lands”. We have a lot of bears. The Amok makes me look like a nice sausage roll up in the forest …seriously, you guys are great.
@@bigswederides Hahaha, let's just both agree on Mattias... he have made me spend a lot on of money on stuff as well... and he only gives me the look and smile 🤣 Haha... bear roll sounds like a delicious treat 👏🏻🔥 Thank you mate, appreciate that. Please don't tell anyone... we have a viking reputation to take care of 🤣
Great review, although there was one essential that we saw but you missed - CROCS. I have the same pair and live in them. In England it is uncool to wear crocs - it’s an old man thing. However, it’s seen as cool to wear Adidas Pool Sliders and white socks - where the logic in that?
Anyway, thanks for the great videos, well produced. Cheers 🍻
Hahaha, I did not miss it..it was just not on the top 5 list this year, that says a lot. I live in my crocs as well. Best shoes out there 🤣 It is uncool to use it here as well, until someone in America used them and all of a sudden it become fashion again and now everyone wants to wear them 🙈 go figure. Glad you liked the video mate. Cheers
So far I've managed quite well by using my cross skiing gear underneath - works good. But I can definitely see the use of a heated shirt, especially when in camp a chilly afternoon or in the morning cold. But what I really want for cold rides are those heataed insoles that Bjørn mentioned, at least when it comes to long stretches of pure transport at low temperatures. And as a swede I really should get myself a new Trangia set, as my old stuff just isn't good enough anymore...
I used to do this my self. just layer opp with mesh and wool, but after I got this heated gear it has revolutionise the comfort and joy of riding early morning and late night. Not to mention early and late season. Yeah, when I'm doing long stretches with transport a insoles should be a great option, or maybe heated socks?
Yeah, the Trangia is kind in this department... for my multi use, there is no one who can match the Trangia 👏🏻
Hi Thomas,
First of all, I wish you a happy new year.
I could not agree more about this headlamp. I've got it with a spare battery for almost nothing last year, and i'm using it all the time.
About my picks of best gear i've had to use this year i would say :
- Someone gifted me a pair of sport merinos wool socks. I never thought i would like these that much. I wear them all the time. I've had merinos wool socks in the past, but they were not durable at all like these are.
- A real pair of high quality hikking boots from Lowa. Not really motorcycle related, but i brought them with me on my last trip, as it's a pain to walk more than 10 meters with my motorcycle boots. Love them.
- A rev it airborne shirt. Extremely confortable aswell. Especially in hot weather.
- My helinox chair. Fun story, someone called me in the middle of my september road trip. I was not expecting that call, and was riding in the middle of nowhere. A few minutes later i'm seated on the side of a mountain road and answering a job interview.
On the other hand, i've had to try a new air matress, the StS Comfort plus insulated. It's a warm matress, but fuck it's seriously loud. I think i prefer my self inflating one, that is cheaper.
Take care !
Happy new year mate 👏🏻
Yeah the headlamp is such a surprise for me... I really enjoy that little thing and it has really served me well.
I use wool and merino wool as a base layer on all my trips. I have tried some socks, but they never seam to last... would you care to share the name of them you use?
Hiking boots I have tried to bring in the past, I have not found anyone that packs small and are comfortable (in Norwegian conditions) It's always wet here, even if the weather is nice. So I always take my huge hiking boots on travels with mountain trips or hiking trips.
The Helinox Chair is AMAZING... I use it all the time my self. I actually got my hands on a new chair these days that I will be testing out. Have to compare it to my Helinox chair and see if it can replace that. Cool story. did you got the job 😆
Thank you for this comment... really appreciate it. Stay safe and take care.
@@tshansen Thomas give the wool socks from Stormberg a try. Im very happy with them. They do have thick and thin ones. Anything else then wool in the boots will make your feet and boot smells like surstrømning😃.
I will also recomend the boxers they have in wool, long and short. The long ones will give you an extra layer to your knees. Sexy😎
@@bjrnfredvang8950 I normally use a lot of Devold and Janus, but i have yet to find good wool socks. Will try one pair of Stormeberg as well. I do think they have a outlet store in Dale? 🤔
@@tshansen De har utsalg i Bergen Storsenter ser jeg. Ull er som du sikkert erfarer ikke like slitesterkt som andre matrialer, men heller ikke de største utgiftene vi har😃. Men lite som matcher ull i fordeler likevel.
@@bjrnfredvang8950 Må søke litt ser jeg. De skal vel ha noe på Gullgruven også da tipper jeg? Om jeg ikke husker feil? Ja, jeg har mange år erfaring med ull, men akkurat sokker føler jeg er det som er vanskeligst å finne skikkelig.
Heated jacket was one of my best investment in terms of motorcycling gear! It definitely saved my life in Norway and later on! A question... you didn;t include your hammock in the list...?
Haha, you had some bad weather when you were here 🙈 And glad to hear about your experience with heated gear as well 👏🏻 Well, the hammock is the best bed I own, and since I am a brand ambassador I felt like it could come out like a paid recommendation. I have plans for a own hammock video when the weather is a little bit nicer 😆
what a beautiful hat my Brother in Gear :D Nobody laughs about a heated vest ;)
Hahaha, I'm so glad you noticed. I call it my "top of a condom" beanie 😆🤣 Well, you know one who laughs about heated vest 🤣 me.... 😇😆 But this is seriously one thing I can't understand why I have not spend money on before.
@@tshansen same here, i already use it in My Car
@@REDFred Hahaha.... damn, why have I not think about that.. that's brilliant. Thank you, this is perfect for the cold car when I'm riding back and fourth to job.
Super gode vidioer du laver....
Vi er nogle stykker fra Danmark der skal op og køre noget tet igår...
Så din video om den gamle hovedvej op gennem Norge kan du give info hvordan vi kan finde den ,så vil vi køre på den os....
Pfh tak 🏍️🏍️
Takk for det Thomas 👏🏻 Fantastisk navn du har 🤣👌🏻 jeg er litt usikker på hvilken vei du tenker på? Selve tet ruten finner dere på TransEuroTrail.org men jeg er ikke sikker på hva du mener med den gamle hovedvei?
I use a heated vest during winter... it's a one way trip 🤣
Hahahaha so it is, there is no way back 🙈👏🏻
Suggestion -noticed that you have very nice looking MoskoMoto bags (like me though I have the Backcountry 35L ones) but that you have not yet done a review on them. Unless of course I missed something somewhere. Anyway, if you haven't maybe nice to do one. And then maybe show where you pack the items you bring and why you pack them where you do.
Thank you Inge... Well, I started a video about this last season. I wanted to compare the mosko to the enduristan bags I have, and how I pack etc. But I found out this will be so close to what I plan for my packing for the north cape trip, so I put it on hold to this season. there I will show how I pack and arrange my set up on the bike🔥
@@tshansen Brilliant 😃! Will be looking forward to that one. Just finished assembling mine ie putting the extra 5L pouches on them. Which I thought was PITA. Anyway, glad they (x4) are on - and will never come off. Would have been nice if the screws would have been 1/ 2 mm longer as well as a bit bigger/ longer torcx.
@@theroamingrover-montys_way Hahaha, yeah…i remember struggling with that part as well. Damn hard to get on when the flex in the material. Well, like you say, these stuff is never coming off 😂
@@tshansen 🤣

Hi I am planning to ride my motorcycle from cape st Vincent Portugal, to Nordkapp starting my trip in middle May , weather wise what’s is your opinion regarding camping and rain, thanks.
Hello Julio 👏🏻
Damn, that is quite an adventure. Sound like a great way to spend some free time. The weather up here in you have no guarantee. You can be lucky and you can have a lot of rain. There is no way to predict it like some other countries down in Europe. Sorry.
@@tshansen thanks for quick answer, I have been seeing few of ur videos they are amazing, for the weather I will prepare for the worse hopping for the best.
Camping in good weather and Bangalô for the rain.
All the best.
You are welcome mate 🔥 glad to hear you like some of my videos! Appreciate that 👏🏻😇 i think that is always the best way! Be prepared for the Worse and hope for the best! Should tattoo that on my arm 🤩🔥
Tell us about your hammock, Amok
I have a couple of videos about that topic already mate 🤩 Best bed I own.
Happy New year to you and all your subscribers. Agree with all on your list Thomas (especially the heated jacket👍🏻), but the Axe would get you locked up in the UK, seriously, you legally cannot carry fixed blade knifes let alone axes.when I travel to Norway, can I borrow your axe please 😄. I do have to ask…….. how come the crocs aren’t on the list 😜
Hahaha... this made me laugh 🤣 Thank you mate, and happy new year to you as well. just imagine how high I think of this 5 products to rate them higher than my crocs 😇 They are on the list, but they plast lower on the list this year sorry 🤣 Even if you bring it with you packed down? Is the laws that strict in UK? I know people should not run around with axes but common 😵
can you made this video in 2023 review of setup?
That is a great request... let me see what I can make of this in the upcoming weeks. 👏🏻
