The Fishing Huntsman

Jan Hrdlicka loves to explore the outdoors in his Toyota Landcruiser. He has full respect for animals and a knack for sustainability, so he hunts his own meat and fish. To keep his game and fish fresh, he relies on his “tough road companion,” the easy-to-clean Dometic Cool Ice Boxes and Dometic CFX55IM powered cooler.

WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND?
I am an angler and hunter, who loves being outdoors.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Hamburg, Germany

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO BE A DOMETIC AMBASSADOR?
It is awesome! I love the products and I’m a heavy user. I have been using the products for over five years for road trips, fishing, hunting, and trade shows with my gin company.

WHAT DOMETIC GEAR DO YOU HAVE? AND HOW HAS IT HELPED YOU?
I have Cool Ice Boxes in every size, the Dometic CFX55IM powered cooler, as well as the PLB40 portable battery.

The cool ice boxes keep everything we hunt and fish fresh. They are hygienic and easy to clean. The CFX is perfect for every road trip and unbeatable when paired with the PLB40 battery. We often stay a few days at a spot and don't have electricity, so the PLB40 keeps the CFX running for up to four days and keeps our provisions fresh.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRIP?
I have developed a good packing list of things I need with me. Following that means I will not forget anything important.

IF YOU COULD ONLY PACK THE 3 MOST ESSENTIAL THINGS TO TAKE WITH YOU ON A TRIP, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
A knife, a fishing rod, and a Dometic Cool Ice Box

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM TRIP?
There is not the one dream trip for me. Every trip is a dream come true.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST GOAL IN LIFE?
To enjoy life as much as I can, and always be positive.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE YOU’VE BEEN ON YOUR TRAVELS?
Norway is my favourite place to be during the summer. I love the endless days in the arctic circle. The nature is special there.
