Im a bit mad that RUclips neglected to give me the notification this video was uploaded, but, thankfully I remembered you, did a search and happily enjoyed the adventure this morning. What an excellent 4 day trip, just love to see our beautiful hills being presented the way you do. Thankyou and I look forward to seeing your next adventure 🤘
Being oldies now, we go camping with so much gear (to give us comfort) that we tend to forget just how simple camping once was. Nice to see a reminder of what it was like way back when. I enjoyed watching this very much. Very nice filming and editing.
Good on you Jack, love the genuine joy that you show when enjoying and sharing our home. For your interest; if the Cockatoos that you saw had red tails, then they are Forest Red-Tailed black cockatoos. Their tails are blood amazing - super fun to find a dropped feather. If you see cockies with white tail feathers instead of red, then they could be either Carnaby's (short-beaked) or Baudin's (long beaked) black cockatoos. All are pretty endangered and live pretty much only around WA's southern parts, though the range of each species varies a bit. I'll also shout out the legends at Kaarakin Cockatoo Conservation Centre for the work they do caring for injured cockies and raising awareness. Keep doing what you're doing my friend. If you're after a good day hike, the numbat trail in the Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary is super nice (you may already know it since it is in Gidge). You also need to reserve online before going to get a gate access code. Cheers to the next one. Safe travels!
Thank you sir!! I actually got to the numbat trail last year- but due for another lap soon/ thanks for the cockatoo info it’s so nice to be in the know of their prevalence and features. So many people doing good in the world to offset what made them endangered in the first place 🙏
My teenage daughter and I have started our bib adventure a couple of years ago. We are slowly doing the track when we get a chance. We have currently started at the northern terminus and have just got to Dwellingup. The stretch you just completed was by far our favourite so far. Loved the video, and I hope you film more of the bib 💪
Epic! So good to hear you are working through the track - such an underrated gem in WA! This stretch exceeded my expectations by far. Thanks so much for the support 🙏
Thanks for a wonderful video! This is probably one of our most favourite places to hike, especially the 3 peaks. Such stunning views that just take your breath away (except for the cutting out of the escarpment which is a sin and a shame!) Getting out there is sooo good for the soul and we look forward to your next trip 💚
Yes! Was the cutting out the western view from the top of Mount cuthbert? That was a shame. But all in all doesn’t take much away from the beautiful views. Thanks so much for watching- plenty more to come!
What amazing determination, especially going back all those kilometres for the life straw. I hope you had backup water solutions in case you didn't find it! And the dedication to dealing with the ticks too - not for the feint of heart. It would be lovely to see more of the campsites that are on the bibbulmun track. Whilst the information on the website is great, I'd love to see what they actually look like. And it would be good to know what you did personally to prepare for a 4 day hike yourself, especially given that towards the end you were running a tad short on food. I hope you give your legs a good long rest, and thanks for sharing and recording this all :)
Thank you so much- I will definitely be hiking more of the track in future! Definitely - I’ll look to make a video on how I prepare for a multi day hike 🙏 thanks for the support
Amazing video!! So good to see a fellow Perthie out and about on our awesome walking trails. Your videos are really inspiring to me as a beginner overnight hiker, who's hoping to get out there myself sometime soon! Thanks for the great content, keep it up :D
Brilliant! Such a great video Jack. Thank you for sharing. I shall rewatch this with my daughter.. in early December she will be walking a south west section of the Bibbulman Track for 5 days as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award. It will be her first thru-hike adventure. Thank you for the tick tips! Loving all your content - excellent 👌🏻 xxx
Great video Jack, you enthusiasm and make do attitude is a welcome watch , not focusing on gear being lightweight or expensive . just getting out there . Cant believe you did that run back to the lunch spot and the water was in your bag. I done my first overnighter all be it a lot shorter in the sullivans to monadocks area and it was mind blowing. Keep it up.
Hi Jack. Another adventurous hike through the Perth Hills. Those freeze dry food must have cost a bit. Try taking energy bars to complement between meals, it stops the tummy from rumbling. Do you know how much water you've consumed? It's good to record any consumption. It will help for future adventures. You don't want to be stuck anywhere without food and water etc. Glad you found the Lifestraw. Perhaps on your next trip, you might want to do a vid on how you purify water if you lose your water filtration. Be aware that ticks carry virus so get yourself checked out. There are prevention when hiking through tick infested areas but you will learn one day. We would like to know how heavy is your backpack when you started? You choose the beautiful time of the year to hike, showing lovely sites Perth can offer. We did the Bibbulman, all the way down to the National Park in Pemberton. We did it mid-winter, so it wasn't too bad plus less snakes. We see improvement in your vid. Best of luck in future endeavours. Stay safe. Cheers from Christmas Island.
Thanks again for the amazing support! My pack was 23kg on the first day and I consumed 4L of water per day- great tip on recording I will definitely do that in future. So far I think the ticks haven’t transferred anything over but keeping a close eye out! Will definitely include some tips of filtering water without a filter! Thanks again 🙏
Interesting tips for using eucalyptus leaves after tick bites and as a repellent. Made me wonder if you could use it on your hands, arms and legs in order to discourage ticks from hopping on for a feed in the first place?
Great video, thanks for taking us all along with you!

wonderfull images and engaging movie, thanks for sharing.

Great episode 👌
Cheers Neil!
The top of Mt cook big boulder looked like a giant's head, I've only 4x4 around the place, and it looks like an awesome hike. Great video. 👍
It is an awesome hike! Thanks so much for watching 🙏

Such a beautiful and unique scenery man, beautifully filmed and narrated! Looks and sounds like a documentary!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad that came across in the footage/ 🙏🙏

Yeah - I found it quite effective against mozzies also!
Well done mate. I'll be on the track next month.
Legend - enjoy it!!
