    Thank you for your videos and the way you present your hikes. I appreciate the lack of music while you are hiking, your commentary, and being able to be on the trail with you for some of your journey. This trail in particular is going on my to-hike list.

    I have been so excited to watch this video from you! I can’t wait to show my American boyfriend. He doesn’t believe that Australia can be so mountainous and epic for hiking. And we could camp without being afraid of bears/mountain lions/moose like we are here in the Rockies! This makes me so stoked to get back to Tasmania

    I did Western Arthurs in 2007, early Nov, we were first party since the autumn, it's just so hard, no one used to do it in winter months. Had amazing weather. It is a visual feast. Oh it is so hard. 12hrs to do 4km linear distance. Scary. I'm still living in the afterglow of the spectacular scenery. If you're not up for insane, you can go in to the first two nights and return, which was what locals were doing behind us. That way you can use a good window of fine weather. Also it was drought for us so no boggy plains to sludge through.

    Someone should invent telescopic walking poles so they can be stashed on a pack when climbing.
    Watching you climb and carry poles looks uncomfortable and unsafe.
    I like to have both hands free when climbing especially when I'm carrying a big pack.
    Awesome video !
