It looks amazing !

It being a trekking pole tent doesn't make it a con. You know beforehand that it needs trekking poles. That's like me buying a regular tent and saying that a con is that it won't work with trekking poles.

Love following your journey ❤

Love following you

Thanks for that video my brother built 2 of the huts ,,the perry and the j mckay

Can you just pour boiled water into the bag of continental pasta to cook it … like the back country meal?

Great review am taking mine on SWCP very soon and hope it stands up 👍

Great Video, thank you. Busy planning my cape to cape walk for my 60th birthday and getting a bit of a reality check from all of these videos!! 🙄

Thanks for these 4 videos- they've been very interesting and a great help for tuning me into this walk.

Why r u shooting this in your apartment. Totally ridiculous.

Also lots of add ons for noodles or mashed potatoes try freeze dried peas, dried mushrooms, plant based dried ‘meats’, jerky, dried seaweed, a few to simply add to the noodles and bulk it up simply, all available at Coles supermarket. Great video thank you, planning for overland track.

I'd low to know how you stand behind yourself :) - Great video thanks for your efforts!

Good tips. I wonder how one goes about identifying snakes. It seems quite a specialized area. I lived in Africa for two years and there were snakes of all sorts in many parts. My approach, being young back then, was to remember that I'm immortal and I just went places that smarter people would not have. Now I"m older, and it seems obvious that counting on luck is a poor approach. ;)

I normally like tents with a separable inner and outer, but I bought my Durston a few weeks ago, and this time I went for the single wall Durston X-Mid Pro1. I did that for the stronger contrast to my normal Hilleberg tents and for the extra space that the one person Dyneema version offers versus the one person double wall version. Just like you, I find the pitch quite easy to do if one does not seek perfection, and has flat ground, but quite the challenges if one does want perfection or encounters high and low spots on the corner surfaces. But I've only had it up about four times, so hopefully it will get easier as time goes by. The details and the quality of the Durston gear is outstanding and while I don't really care about ultra-light, I'm not complaining about the one pound (454 gram) weight neither. I'm glad to have found your review. There is bth a "skinny pitch" option for the Durston, for when the space is tight. Lastly, for those who don't want to carry trekking poles, it should be mentioned that Durston sells their ingeniously designed Z-Flick adjustable carbon fibre supports for a reasonable price, and they weight in at 93 grams and pack down to 31 cm. I love m'.

I am curious, I have seen another video where people set up their tent inside the shelter/hut. Is that common practice?

Doris is an interesting person. Nice to see one of her posts. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Carry not to heavy helps, the underground you walk on matters. Stop and dry your feed helps. Walk barefoot a bit or backwards on the beach. Clean the socks or the shoes. I pop a blister because its more painful to have a blister. This pain makes you walk different and create an other blister. I try to dry the blister and disinfecting the blister with iodine.

Organized your backpack. Wash before go to bed. Have a good light with you. Try to avoid wet or dry it. Save resources. Friction cream and Iodine

Most Important is check the weather and plan the track with food,water and it meight be more tougher than expected to your fitness level

This track looks so good😊

Wow looks amazing 😮

Yes I agree with that. I had the same on the AAWT. But nearly noone walking it. This looks like more people walk this track.

Oh the huts are more like a shelter could happen you share with snakes, insects or the nice Emu bird over their😅

The forest is beautiful their. And it's more real hiking their. Pine Valley is recommended!

Finally ive found a review of this tent of someone whos actuslly used it. Everyone else just buys it and sets it up in their yard lol

Dori - looks a great trip … but one big mistake … you should have done the side trip to Pine Valley … Walks in thru some stunning temperate rainforest (best section on the overhand track), beautiful camp sites amongst flowing creeks … the fabulous Cephissus falls , a great hut location … and the possibility of a day walk up the Acropolis for some of the best views on the track … next time you’re near lake StClair you need to catch the boat to Narcissus and walk into pine valley … so 2-3 days (if u do the Labyrinth as well)

Dori! Thanks for the tip about GPX Viewer. I normally use Google Earth offline but it's stopped working. GPX is free, takes a GPX or KMZ file, and works offline. What is there not to like 👌Rights!

Hoping to do this over Christmas, just waiting for July for the permits to become available 🤞🤞🤞

Who wants to do this hike??

Best track in Tassie

Hey Dori, great vids! Im planning for this trip soon and would like to know if there are water tanks at each camp and how many litres did you take each day? Cheers😂

Glad to see you enjoyed your trip! I was one of the people on track with a friend and last saw you leaving KiaOra on a big day. 👌

Hi I was just wondering what time of the year you did it in. Cheers

Welcome to Tasmania 👍

Well she’s back with a bang! You don’t get much better than Taasie, unless your from WA like Perth right 😆

Nice to hear from you again 👍 it's been a while.👌

Looking forward to the video planning doing the overland track next year

The perfect thing you brought up here is the two socks. Blisters are caused but the sock gripping the shoe and the foot moving in the sock, the sock causes it rubbing on the skin. There are blister prevention pads that you stick to the shoe and lets the sock "micro" slip in the shoe and the foot and sock moves as one. They are very slippery and when the blue color wears off its time to change them. Engo is one brand. The liner sock does the same. It clings to the foot and doesn't let the outer sock rub on the skin when it grips in the shoe, you have sock on sock rub instead of sock on skin rub.

Good video - we just found this trail last weekend, just come back from our second walk round it today. Have you found Horse Swamp yet?
