    Threshold Braking 101: When Rubber Meets Ice

    ABS is made for wet surfaces, snow and ice. It just maintains wheel spin for the tire to provide you with cornering force. When push comes to shove, it's very likely to work more reliable then threshold braking. It's dumb, ok, just knows 0-1-0-1-0-1- .. binary brakes on and off. But it works...

    Threshold Braking 101: When Rubber Meets Ice

    good thing! this what I learned from motorcycling too: you need to focus on the gap. not the object or obstacle.# to answer davids question: with ABS, hit the brakes as hard as you can, and continue steering. easy as that.

    Wild Camping in Mid Europe

    well, at some opportunities, when going on a narrow gravel road (more like a trail) between acres, there might be a open plane that is not agriculturally used. but if you would set up camp there, I'd be very likely you'd been chased away by hikers or even the farmer himself, the pitchfork in his...

    Wild Camping in Scandinavia.

    sounds good. it goes without saying to show respect to nature and other individuals. I'm really looking forward to our wild camping days in norway in early august .. that doesn't sound that good however. do I really need to 'hide' not to attract any attention of bypassers?

    Wild Camping in Scandinavia.

    @thorstein and @Joey83, you both should put your thoughts and experiences as locals here. as I was looking for reliable information about the right to roam and got in contact with you both, your insider input helped a lot. let's share it with others..

    Wild Camping in Mid Europe

    slight amendment for germany: ONLY on designated parking spots. NOT in the wild, not even at the side of the street. most overland roads (federal roads) have deep ditches to each side, and right after the ditch is a field/acre. that's the difference to most countries: in germany firstly...

    Overland trip this autumn in Norway(Movie)

    thanks @thorstein. I know, 8 days is pretty tight, but we've only got 2 weeks of vacation, and to get to norway and back already takes 4 days, cause as you mentioned we don't want to drive more than 6-8hrs per day either. and in norway, there will be so many views to stop at, that 6hrs driving...
