We are launching #jouskoonmaserugsak

We as Fagala Voet together with the brilliant sewing genius of Sands Sewing created the biggest functional and completely waterproof hiking bag and we named it “Jou skoonma se rugsak” as far as we know this is the biggest hiking backpack in SA.  We took the Deuter Air Contact 65L backpack as a sample to Sand Sewing and what we got back is more than what we expected, Sands Sewing literally copied and pasted the sample we supplied.

We will be running a photo competition at the expo, where we will ask the hikers to strike a pose with the bag, use #jouskoonmaserugsak and who knows, maybe there are some awesome prizes to be won for the best pose.

Here is a link to a small video of the bag, click here

Side Notes:

We know that last minute changes and amendments do happen, and we do try and accommodate all of them but it’s just sometimes not possible.

We will have a cut of date for these minor changes and amendments so that this does not put more pressure on us than there already are.

We, and any staff member of Fagala Voet do not take responsibility for any misunderstanding in info given trough.

Please make sure you read all info as it’s there for mishaps to be avoided.

Please direct any question or concerns to hikingoutdoorexpo@fagalavoet.co.za.

2023 Expo Update

We had our first expo in 2023 and although small, it turned out to be a great success and everyone was very excited this event started.

We had plans in place for our second expo to be in 2024 but due to unforeseen circumstance we had to cancel and due to the immense planning, it takes, our 2nd one will only be in 2026.

A refresher on our numbers for 2023, we expected 650 for Saturday and 600 showed up, Sunday was a different story as only 150 tickets scanned in, and this is due to the Boks winning the World Cup the Saturday and therefore our numbers dwindled a lot as 350 tickets were sold for Sunday.

We really hope and aim to get at least 2000 – 2500 hikers over the 3 days, this number is always just an estimate.
