Hi Nyle, There were three huts we visited but the one we stayed in is Stone Hut, but we ventured down further to hunt near Royal Hut.

@nylepaulsen9616 Hi Nyle, yes it was called Pot Hut. It was quality with 10 beds and matresses inside, built in 1899 I believe.

never been hunting before and i'm currently in the process of getting my Cat A and B. would you recommend any gear or firearms or even if i should do some guided hunts to get the gist of hunting

Enjoy the journey of learning. I'd suggest getting plenty of time in the hills, joining the ADA and learning from those more experienced at branch hunts, and the knowledge a guide would share would accelerate your hunting career for sure.

It's a good technical hike, at a Grade 5 but not the hardest, not by a long shot. Try the Howqua Peaks route at a Grade 6 in Summer and harder in Winter requiring alpine skills, ice axe and crampons plus skis or snowshoes (it actually incorporated some of the Viking Circuit along the cross cut but includes a lot more scrambling and more off track work going up King Spur to Mt.Koonika and Six mile spur up Little Buller and down McLoughlin shoulder on Buller a variation includes going along the Razor near Viking Saddle. The Viking has only a small scrambly section or two near the chimney. Although it eould ne pretty tough in Winter. It also takes twice as long.I consider this walk , the Victorian version of the Western Arthur's.. Rope may be required for non climbers. There are even tougher ones at Buffalo gorge South rim and Little gorge but these may incorporate abseiling etc. Doesnt include doing the Victorian section of the AAWT ejich is a bloody hard hime but hopelessly tedious for the most part with all the bloody fallen trees

Sounds like a great circuit for a future trip and video. I just bought an ice axe and micro spikes which I recently used in my NZ trip, will be good to put them to use again.
@TwilightCinemaNZ Жыл бұрын
@@ethanbennettfilms Lots of places to use those in Victoria, but in winter best to use crampons and Mountaineering boots for the most part if going above 1500m. But conditions vary and snowshoes may be needed as well micro spikes tend to it be useful in bad snow seasons where you're more likely to find ice and not much snow on the tracks. It pays to know how to use the ice axe in self arrest situations

Actually the most brutal hike I've done in Vic is the NW spur up to Feathertop summit and then down the untracked NE spur of Feathertop to the base of Fainter South. A rugged, exposed, off track and hard scramble up the ridgeline to Fainter South summit to Bogong high plains and tawonga huts and back to Falls creek via the hotham to falls walk.

G'day Brad, I'm shooting a Proof Elevation which I purchased from Delta Tactical... I can't fault it, and I'm very happy with it. The scope is a Hawke SF Frontier 4-20x44, nice glass, illuminated reticle, nice turrets and a well made zero stop which is useful as we dial for elevation.

Thanks Alyce. We had intended to do the hike in three days however quickly realised that with the conditions and our fitness that it wasn't possible so suddenly there was a risk of snow we hadn't considered. After 5 hours in the snow we knew to be prepared for almost anything next time, oh gloves would have been so nice. Using the GPS on our phones was near impossible when hands have gone red and numb. We ended up cutting a jumper up and using it to wrap our hands for some protection for the last hour or two which helped. The next trip I will film will be the West Arthur's in Tasmania which is even more challenging.

Thank you, and no reason at all why you couldn't go counter clockwise. It would be nice and steep down the Viking but all doable.
