There isn't anything on KZbin that is as comprehensive as this. When researching the Bib, people around the world will benefit from this. Congratulations guys. Steve, I can't wait to see your camera work again!

Apologies for the "dense" bit closer to Murray. I was off completing my own sectional end to end and didn't tend to that area much in the latter half of the year (I'm the vollie for that section). Really enjoying watching the series, great work.

Mark you are so sweet. The dense bit makes it more natural and wild! Haha. Thank you for all your support and dedication in maintaining this amazing trail. :)

@@CarolineThomsen i agree, i think the denser area felt almost 'otherworldly'. Like you said earlier in the pine forest and other areas, there are so many different environments in the Bib and each has their own feels and characteristics.

Thank you :) I feel it's an important part of the experience to share. Life is not all just sunshine and daisies... For me, it felt so strange being back in civilisation in a random town...ironically, so lonely compared to being out on the trail!

For some reason i really enjoy the way you present your thru hike :-) I've hiked Kal-Collie recently and planning me E2E. This is very motivating!

This is one of the best day to day Bib end to end series out there and I've watched a few. I'm fixated by your pack. I was Army Infantry and frankly impressed by your toughness. What was the weight when you left Dwelli?
@GreatWalksoftheWorld Жыл бұрын
That osprey pack is deceptive. It looks big and heavy but the total weight wasn't that much, depending on the section and food needs. It tends to look bloated because of its shape. We did carry some extra film gear though.

Ah, murray campsite - about 1hr before arriving, I got caught in the heaviest downpour ever. My battery charger stopped working. Walked the next day in wet shoes, socks, tshirt, shorts - about 1hr from Dookanelly, down came the rain again :)

Great video Caroline and team. I love seeing our backyard on screen. What day of the year did you set out on the trip? Everything looks to be about perfect. All weather types, lots of wild flowers and fires allowed in the fire pits. I love the story you’re telling here. Looking forward to you getting past Collie so that I can see what’s in store for me. 👍🏼🚶🏼🚶🏼🚶🏼

@RyanNichols8884 жыл бұрын
Excited for this series!! I'm hooked :D Got a question, do you charge your devices while walking or do you charge a power bank and charge devices at night? And how does it go with constant shadows interfering? Cheers :)
@GreatWalksoftheWorld4 жыл бұрын
We have power banks and charge the batteries at night. Also for the longer sections (Kalamunda to Dwellingup and Pemberton / walpole and the south coast) we have a solar panel to charge the powerbanks. As for the shadows, its about just being aware of the angles and staying back far enough.

Loving the honest story telling. Was Dwellingup your first resupply since the start of the trail?
@CarolineThomsen4 жыл бұрын
Hi Sarah, yes it was! I ran out of time to send a supply box to North Bannister... so my pack was heavy at the start!

How did the solar charger go for you on the back of your pack? Still charge through the day or cut out in shade?
@mettelvbo84524 жыл бұрын
do the trees have that black colour naturally?
@CarolineThomsen4 жыл бұрын
I think that the darker shade you're seeing in this episode is the 'marri' trees. Otherwise the black is from backburning (to control bushfires as summer approaches) or actual bushfires. If anyone else knows please chime in!
@GreenTeaViewer4 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure about those particular trees, but many Australian trees have dark brown to black bark. For example, the species named "ironbark". In addition, fire also regularly blackens trees.

Hi did those folding solar panels work well? i want do the track next year as i didnt get to this year ( thanks covid) and was thinking of buying some for the trip. thanks
@GreatWalksoftheWorld4 жыл бұрын
It worked well to help keep the powerbanks topped up, which we used to charge the camera batteries, phones etc at night. If it's overcast a lot it would be less effective. You may only need it between Kalamunda and Dwellingup, and maybe Northcliffe to Walpole, as most other sections have plenty of opportunities to recharge batteries or powerbanks after a few days. We also used it on the south coast but felt it wasn't critical as we had plenty of powerbanks and spare camera batteries to make it to each town. The panel is a Big Blue 28w.
