EQUIPMENT
| "We fully stand behind the quality and durability of our MAMMUT clothing and trust the experienced staff and the top range of outdoor equipment from TRANSA for our expedition CHARGE Across Europe" - Ruan & Tina de Flamingh |
On expeditions such as this one, one is dependent on good, reliable outdoor clothing (MAMMUT) and equipment (TRANSA), extensive planning and preparation, and offcourse professional advice from experts in the field. Research goes far beyond looking at a few maps and it is advised to read a lot of biographies and expedition reports of those who have done similar things in the past. Last but not least ... Never leave on your expedition without having tested ALL your equipment and knowing exactly how it functions!
Maybe you too are planning something different, crazy and exciting and you've landed on our page in the course of your research. We believe that people belonging to the "Expedition Species" should share their knowledge and experience and this should not always cost an arm and a leg. We are all continuely learning and hopefully through the course of our expedition "CHARGE Across Europe" we will be able to give you some good tips and advise as we learn more along the way.
For a start ... get yourself competent partners to advise you on suitable equipment and clothing for your planned expedition. Do not take the first-best outdoor shop around the corner to be the "guru" in the field. MAMMUT has always fulfilled our needs when it comes to clothing for extreme weather conditions and long-term durability. For many years now the guys from TRANSA have proven to be our perfect partner when it comes to advising us on choosing our outdoor equipment. All the staff from TRANSA are outdoor enthusiasts themselves and have spent a lot of time physically using the equipment they are selling in the shop.
