Personal Reactions
Loved it, great way to unwind from the world, pick up somefitness and loose some kilos.
Wildlife
Roo, snakes, emus, river rats and some fellow walkers.
Your Best Equipment
Scarpa boots & Injinji toe socks!! Jet boil, nemo sleeping matt & super light super warm down sleeping bag from Nepal. Many others spent shivering nights in july/august while i was extremely comfortable.
Your Worst Equipment
Rain gear….needed better jacket & pants.
Advice for Others
Don’t scrimp on footwear, take care of your feet & your feet will take care of you. Buy the best (scarpa in my opinion) and wear them in well before going out. Injinji toe socks are a miracle???????????????? For zero blisters. Try a few overnighters or 2-3 days to figure out what works for u & equipment. Lighter is better.
