I want to meet you ❤

Hi Can we be friends

I like how the closed-captioning called the Bibbulmun Track the 'Boob Woman Track'. Although I've hiked the Bib, and I never saw her.

thanks for sharing😁

Bec watched your videos and how quick you did it in but loved the introduction. How dod you get the same writing as the metal start finish line in your video introduction? Was it fine the right font in say keynote or powerpoint or you have a clever and shorter way to do it? I understand how you get the green background in the letters as ive done it once or twice.

Great video, how did you buy a Zpacks' pack in Australia? I know about ultralight hiker...but don't think they sell packs? Thanks

Awesome Video. I've been lucky enough to hike some amazing trails around the world but yet to do this one in my own backyard. This on my list for next year for sure! Good to see you back.

Neve is an Australia brand, ultralight gear, made local by a small business. (Not affiliated)

Fabulously stark country with subtle colours and a great mixture of types of landscape to traverse. Did you encounter any wildlife along the way? Pigs, kangaroos etc.

Lara Pinta has been on my list of hikes for some time, and it is great to see it from another perspective. Great vlog.

You are amazing. I hope you and your partner are loving life and are happy and healthy. I hope you have an amazing journey, not just hiking but with life.

Love that you're back!!!

Beautiful scenery Beck and really enjoy your vlogs!

Great to see you back Beck. Absolutely - better late than never.

Hope we won't have to wait another year for day three.... :)

Welcome back again!! 😊

Delayed much :-)

yewww youre back!

Nice vid 🎉

Thanks so much Be!ck - Great info

Exactly what I had in mind but you beat me by a few years 😊

Nice Vid, did this walk about 7 years ago and it was great! Certainly one of my favourite multi day walks in Vic. Tracks were superb and well maintained. Have to say though that the long beach walks wete excuciating in the endless soft sand, but a good experience nonetheless. I'll just avoid them if i can next time lol. All the campsites were basic but excellent, never had an issue with water (did it in Autumn). The snakes wete a bit scary and frequent through all the forested sections, so this track made me upgrade my gaiters to snake proof ones as well as my emergency locater. Ive never ever seen so many wild animals anywhere on my extensive hikes throughout Victoria as i have on this track especially through the forested sections. Only downside was the lack of people, for such a fantastic track, i met bssically no one on it for the entre 13 days i was on it. Can get a bit lonely 😢. Its a real gem of a track and so is Nelson, the town at the halfway point. Try the pub, good food and steak. Was luck enough to be thete for an unexpected festival which was great! They made the the best pepper sauce that i still have not had any better! Looking forward to doing it again very soon. Autumn was a good time of year, not hot, cold or wet.

As a mountaineer with 20+ odd years experience in the mountains as well as hiking, I agree totally with what you're saying, with the proviso that even when carrying heavy climbing and alpine gear stay well away from heavy 3.5 kg packs. You can get really good nylon or even lightweight DCF packs that weigh only 1 to 1.5 kg and are good for up to 80 litres or 30 kg loads. Short trips probably 20kg. These packs are also pretty good for standard hiking and have even less "marketing" features that make standard packs so heavy. Like yourself I'd still buy lightweight technical gear from overseas, there's not much choice in speciality gear in Oz. One thing I'd advise though is for people to start slow and test their gear out on day or overnight hikes first though and work through all your gear mistakes first before going on big multi day adventure hikes.

Yep water water water in WA.

1) Rain Jackets = Don't bother, just get a 'Six Moon Designs Ultralight Umbrella'. 2) Axe/Hatchet = Don't bother unless you need to process wood that is thicker than 15cm in diameter for firewood during a long winter hike. 3) Solar Panels = Don't bother unless you can afford the space that a 100W folding panel takes up in your bag, as those little panels take three days to charge a 10k mAh battery. 4) Lanterns = Don't bother with something as big as that GoalZero thing. Instead, buy yourself a LedLenser ML6. There's no power bank function but it's a beautiful warm light. 5) Rope = Don't bother unless you think you need it for a ridgeline for a tarp shelter, in which case you're better off with paracord or even 'Atwood Micro Cord' from Army & Outdoors. 6) Clothes Line = Again, just use some of your paracord. 7) Carabiners = Don't bother unless they're: 1) Actually for specific items you already know you need to attach to your bag, and 2) Are made of titanium, and therefore very lightweight. 8) Deck of Cards = Useless unless you're a full-blown lover of card games. 9) Knife = Always have one, but make sure it's full-tang and able to be used to process kindling and food.

Australia, four years after your video was published, is still only selling heavy-as-fuck camping gear in all the stores. The reason for this is simple - It's because Australians, by and large, are lazy-as-fuck, uncreative, unoriginal, unadventurous car campers who haven't laid eyes on a backpack since they left high school. This is why you see heavy-as-fuck camping gear here like those 800kg swags with the foam mattress inside them and the sleeping bags that require a 120L SAS Bergen to fit them in, even though they don't even keep you warm below 10 degrees Celsius. Northern hemisphere people know how to hike and camp - Nobody in Australia knows what it means to carry your gear to a campsite, and none have ever seen a capsite that wasn't straddled by a carpark and a highway nearby. This also explains why the vast majority of Australia's hiking 'trails' are just a loop that goes STRAIGHT back to the car park. In other words, Australia will NEVER have a trail like the PCT, the Appalachian Trail or the Camino De Santiago. TL:DR - Australians car camp, that's it, and it's because they're lazy pussies...

All the carabiners lol The one item I would still carry is the survival knife, for longer trips that is. That's my one luxury item. But yea the rest... total waste of weight

Thank you so much. Your video has come to me at the best time possible. You have confirmed exactly what I was thinking. Trail runners for me. I use the Bibbulmun Track also❤

Hey we are doing this section tomorrow, any running water on the track ?

i just stumbled on to this channel great effort,,put your legs in cold water 5/10 mins to help with feet,tea tree oil ,make a spray of it and spray the obvious areas the lil hitch hikers,keep them at bay

Then you got guys over here saying you NEED 100' of "cordage"(Fack I hate that word, it was always rope or string until KZbin come along. So thank you for that) Felling axe with a folding bucksaw, purification tabs with filters and something to boil it in, signal flares, IR beacons, two tourniquets and chest seals...Guys you're going camping, it's not that scary out there... Not advocating against comfort items but when did you ever see a need for a tourniquet... And couldn't be fixed with a piece of clothing and a stick or spoon,etc.. or a bucksaw to camp overnight. Waste of time cutting when you need dead wood anyways. Something to sleep on, in and under and cook food. Piece of tarp and billy can, you're golden! Everything else is just added comfort. I drink straight out of streams for 30 years and still haven't got sick, still perfect vision in all three eyes too LOL jk Also, I assume taking a jackknife is a given since no man should be going anywhere without a good small jackknife. You walk to a place, go to sleep and then walk some more. It doesn't require much.

I'm looking at doing this walk, what did you do for water each day? Did you use purifier tablets?

Hi would love to go to all the places real soon you take care thank you for explaining everything x gee

really enjoyed watching your adventure

Nice, thinking about doing this one 👍

How did you go? 😀

Welcome back - looking forward to watching the rest of your Larapinta journey!

Welcome back to KZbin. I wonder if that country has received any of the rain sweeping across the country from the Indian ocean weather events?

Great video mate, cannot wait for the next one.

Did you ever show the ah chair in action?

I really appreciated this segment! New to overnight hiking, but used to long day hikes. Planning on doing this in 2 night segments as I live close and breaking it up a bit.

Loads of good info in this video. Thanks!

I liked your video, and all the different perspectives you have offered. I’m don’t agree fully with your preference of one footwear type over another, but your vid is certainly thought provoking , and encourages viewers to think about the many different angles relevant to this debate. I have recently purchased a softer style 1/2 height boot, so I will be reflecting on your vid when I get them out on the track.

As well as a sit pad and a place to put your pack it is great for kneeling on whilst getting items from your tent. Much softer that the ground:]

Life saver in the ses and search and rescue when you are in a state of hurry up and wait..bloody mint piece of kit

Hi great video can you recommend a hiking sleeping bag?

Have a whinge and a half

A Kindle while you're out bush. That had me "smiling out loud" as I would also enjoy that

Not that knife but a good knife and firesteel can be a life saver if things go south..

Hi there just found your awsome videos, what hiking tent do you use cheers?
