What this trail blog is about

Lena Ulmer Trails is an independent blog about the outdoor side of gaming. We write about hiking, camping and gear in video games: how to plan routes, choose campsites, manage a heavy pack, deal with changing weather and keep your equipment in good shape during long journeys.

The focus is on the genre as a whole rather than on a single title. That means our articles explain mechanics and ideas you are likely to meet across many exploration, camping and survival games, so the tips stay useful no matter which game you are currently playing.

Who these articles are written for

If you have ever paused a game just to watch the sun set over a valley, this blog is for you. It is written for newcomers who want a gentle introduction to the genre, for experienced players looking for fresh ways to plan an expedition, and for anyone curious about why walking simulators and survival games feel so satisfying.

You do not need special skills or expensive equipment. A love of exploration and a little patience are enough.

An independent and informational approach

Lena Ulmer Trails is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any game developer or publisher. Our articles are evergreen guides, explainers and opinion pieces based on general gameplay knowledge. We do not publish news, leaks, release dates or insider information.

When we share opinions, we say so clearly. When an article touches on real outdoor activities, we keep in mind that games simplify reality, and we encourage readers to rely on proper training and local guidance before heading out on a real trail. The blog is operated by Ulmer Lena, Hauptstrasse 21, 88457 Kirchdorf an der Iller, Germany.
