Biographie de l'auteur

Gerret Kalkoffen was born 1981 in Hamburg, Germany. Since before he can remember, his father took him along on hikes and sparked his love of the outdoors. Gerret has since enjoyed hiking trips in various parts of the Alps, the Philippines, China, New Zealand, Canada, and the U.S. With his background in business and engineering, Gerret is always interested in improved gear and technical solutions. Besides the peace he feels when in nature, he enjoys the physical challenge the mountains pose.

Kevin Muschter is a seasoned backpacker who was first introduced to the fascinating world of hiking by his parents during family vacations in the beautiful Czech Giant Mountains and Saxon Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Eastern Europe. Inspired by those early adventures, Kevin went on to travel and explore Europe’s largest mountain range, the Alps, on foot and on skis throughout the years. In 2011, he moved to San Diego, CA, which quickly became his gateway to United States’ vast and varied backcountry. To Kevin, hiking is a great way to escape the comfort zone and reconnect with nature.
