Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
My favourite part of 2021, 60 perfect days carved out of a crap year that I will treasure forever.

Your Best Equipment
Quick way to get lots of filtered water: The filter from my Lifestraw bottle fits snugly into my Hydrapak 2L Seeker collapsible bottle. From here I can squeeze out lots of filtered water very quickly. No need for purification tablets or those very slow Lifestraw Flex filters

Your Worst Equipment
Inflatable pillows. Waste of time. Jacket in a pillowcase is way better.

Advice for Others
Go at your own pace in your own sweet time. When it gets tough or you notice that you are pushing too hard just to get there or keep up, stop and make a brew and enjoy the nature around you. That way you get to feel like you are the boss of your Hike and not the other way around.

Highlight of your trip
So many, but arriving at the ocean at Mandalay Beach was one. Sharing laughs, adventures and nature with the excellent people I traveled with and met along the way was the most magic ingredient to making the experience truly awesome.
