Track Towns and Supplies

- All my food is cooked and hydrated by myself, which takes months of preparation. Mostly Curry or aromatic based foods as they hold their flavour better.
Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsThis is my 5th E2E and I shared most of my Journey with my walk buddy Lari. We maintain a section of the Bibbulmun track together and have been walking together for over 5 years.
Your Best Equipment
My Osprey Exos Pack has to be the most comfortable pack ever and I will never walk anywhere without my Black Diamond trekking poles. A new addition to our equipment is a Schimm Hands Free Trekking Umbrella, it gives amazing protection from both rain and sun but really came into it's own during a hail storm when walking into Northcliffe from Gardner.
Your Worst Equipment
None really, I believe after the past 7 odd years of walking we are getting most things right.
Advice for Others
Just get out there and enjoy or wonderful track. Share your experience with as many people as you can. Always remember that you never stop learning.
