These last two years haven't been conducive to planning a getaway. However, things are slowly returning to normal now so you should get out on the trail!
We enjoyed the b-roll bits building up to the hike! What was that floating in the air at 5:46? "Snores and farts like an animal", LOL 😂 Whoa, those are some legit scrambles!! We almost fall on flat ground from time to time ourselves! 😎 Such a cool shot at 15:57
Thanks Elliot! February has the least amount of rainfall so hopefully you have some good weather. The Eastern Arthurs is now open so that's something extra to consider
@@zelliot Yep, the extra food weight would be a killer especially over the scrambles. I've been pondering an EAT/Feddy ascent next year myself but we'll see
Awesome cinematography, well done. Loved it. I did Lake Rhona in the Southwest Tas recently (I'm from Brisbane but grew up in Tasmania) and I have been researching other hikes in the Southwest. Thanks for sharing this.
This definitely seems like a challenging experience just from watching! I can't imaging how hard this must have been in person. Some of those rock pass throughs seemed a little sketchy! But the views, scenery and nature there were amazing!! I loved the timelapses that you did - so pretty. This is definitely not a hike I could see myself doing!!
Definitely some beautiful scenery there mate. Well done on completing that tough trip. I loved the video and your edit was on point. Kept me hooked right to the end.
I’m 16 and I did this walk in early December 2021 and it was pretty extreme. But it was all worth it. Best views in the world. Great video also. Captured very well
welcome to van diemens land good video 👍 mate is doing this tomorrow hopefully ows put a boradwalk in soon that mud is fkn bad 😅 done well thanks for sharing
@@IntrepidRoad lol there is no god bro sorry Tassie isn't owned by imaginary people haha 🍻 yeah that mud looks shit pws should be putting duckboard in there soon then I'll do it....check out my mates beer he made called the western Arthur's IPA called the clunch Had a rescue and plb situation etc came home to his brewery and made a beer to tell the story......be safe
@@TasHikingAdventures You're right, it's actually owned by foreign billionaires building doomsday bunkers in the sticks. Your mate does have a pretty good story there. Next time I'm down your way I'll give it whirl at the local if I can find it
@@IntrepidRoad yeah don't remind.me.about it they are all scums and just wanna make money off the tourism Tassie wasn't this bad with exposing secret sites or places with social.media it's shit but I'm glad you had fun..yeah hit me up I'll take you there for a beer it's called last rites brewery
Love a good hiking video. What gorgeous topography! Really enjoy the nature in this video. You guys have a good vibe on camera together. Oh that sunrise! God damn those views! Well done guys. This video was amazing. What an adventure
Woah, incredible footage quality my friend, so wonderfully cinematic! Those timelapse shots across the lake are just stunning! It looks like the perfect place to explore for a few days, some tough terrain but most definitely rewarding! Great video and new supporter here for you my friend!
Pretty challenging some parts looks dangerous, but the views and scenery is spectacular! I love your documentary looks like professional, love the edits!
How long did it take you to prepare for a hike like this. It definitely seemed intense. And glad you ended the trip when you did, knees hurt, feet hurt, out of food and toilet roll lol. Oh and that would've sucked for me to be in a tent with someone snoring. The worse lol!
Hey Kita, I was already reasonably fit and setup with gear which made the planning phase much easier. I was doing a fair bit of cardio from about 2 months out from starting the hike. Thanks for watching!
Don't need NZ this is wilder and amazing country .... good to record for posterity and showing your children, this is what life is about. Good resolution
Walks like the Eldon Range, The Old River route to Federation Peak, Lake Rhona to the Lyell Highway, and others make the Arthurs look like a walk in the park. Anyone who thinks the Arthurs is Australia's most challenging walk has got no idea.
I’ve done sections on plenty of walks tougher than any day in the Western Arthurs. But they were all through untracked land fighting nearly impenetrable scrub. You can’t really compare untracked walking with ‘official’ routes like the WA - completely different beasts. That said, the scariest time I’ve spent in a tent was at High Moor when a huge storm blew in just after dinner. And in the days before the luxury of tent platforms too. Something I hope I never have to experience again. Great video and I only wish we had such good weather when we did it over 30 years ago now.
@@andrewgriffin926 Thanks for watching Andrew. With perfect weather like we had it's hard to say we had the "proper" Arthurs experience, but the views were definitely exceptional.
That's a great question! I would love to run this experiment on my next hike but since I wouldn't be filming I would have no way to prove my findings. Furthermore, if a RUclipsr is not being filmed while bushwalking it's highly unlikely to be a RUclipsr and is probably just a regular bushwalker. Is this a trick question? 😉
@@haydenwalton2766 I usually take one on the off chance I need the balance but prefer to hike without them tbh. Anyway, jokes aside I hope you enjoyed the video
You'd expect to receive more rain than our March traverse but sometimes it's just luck of the draw. You might have perfectly clear days or snow. If you're comfortable with scrambling in the wet and have all the right gear I'd give it a crack

World class
Amazing, beautiful
Thanks Joanne, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Mate, this is by far the most beautifully shot and put together account of the WAT out there. Amazing work.
Thank you!!
Love your vibe - keep it coming!
We don’t have big mountains but the one’s in Tasmania are hard to tackle . Your video is so beautiful !
I agree Louisa, Tasmania is one of a kind. Thanks!
Wow, it might be the hardest hike but those views are worth it. Great video!
Indeed
Hiking in Tasmania looks amazing!!
it is
Really sick footage ;)
Thanks Lucas!
Wow! You have to be dedicated to go on this hike. Really cool views along the way.
Oh I so want to do this hike, but this little duck is no good with heights. Wonderful footage, thank you for sharing.
🤣
Thanks for watching!
I definitely need to get into hiking again, I miss the stunning scenery and feeling of conquering something.
These last two years haven't been conducive to planning a getaway. However, things are slowly returning to normal now so you should get out on the trail!

I added a snow overlay to give it a little extra something. Yes, our mate Albi is a legitimate sasquatch 😂 thanks for watching!
Nice. Fun times!
wow such amazing place and love the editing of your video.
Appreciate it man, thanks!
Loved it, thanks 👌❤
Cheers!
Fantastically edited video, shots are just stunning! Hats off!!!
I appreciate that man, thanks

Its a wonderful hike, beautiful scenery and fantastic shots. I would love to go this hike. Thanks for the great vlog.New Subscriber.
wow super like
Really cool video. This hike is my #1 on my to do list. Hopefully early next year.
Thanks Elliot! February has the least amount of rainfall so hopefully you have some good weather. The Eastern Arthurs is now open so that's something extra to consider
@@IntrepidRoad I'd love to link up and do the EAT at the same time as the WAT. Logistically it makes it a lot more difficult but lets see...
@@zelliot Yep, the extra food weight would be a killer especially over the scrambles. I've been pondering an EAT/Feddy ascent next year myself but we'll see
@@IntrepidRoad Feddy is #2 on my to do list 😄
Awesome cinematography, well done. Loved it. I did Lake Rhona in the Southwest Tas recently (I'm from Brisbane but grew up in Tasmania) and I have been researching other hikes in the Southwest. Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers Dallas! Lake Rhona looks stunning, I'll add it to my wish list. You can't go wrong the WAT, you should definitely give it a crack!
without a doubt it's like you're hiking on another, beautiful world. great video guys, beautifully put together, amazing shots.

Good on ya Stanley! Great effort and thanks for watching
Beautiful views. The timelapse, the intro and the clips are very attractive. Keep posting such videos.

welcome to van diemens land good video 👍 mate is doing this tomorrow
hopefully ows put a boradwalk in soon that mud is fkn bad 😅 done well thanks for sharing
Tassie is God's country, thanks for watching. At a glance the forecast looks okay, hopefully your mate has a safe traverse
@@IntrepidRoad lol there is no god bro sorry Tassie isn't owned by imaginary people haha 🍻 yeah that mud looks shit pws should be putting duckboard in there soon then I'll do it....check out my mates beer he made called the western Arthur's IPA called the clunch
Had a rescue and plb situation etc came home to his brewery and made a beer to tell the story......be safe
@@TasHikingAdventures You're right, it's actually owned by foreign billionaires building doomsday bunkers in the sticks. Your mate does have a pretty good story there. Next time I'm down your way I'll give it whirl at the local if I can find it
@@IntrepidRoad yeah don't remind.me.about it they are all scums and just wanna make money off the tourism Tassie wasn't this bad with exposing secret sites or places with social.media it's shit but I'm glad you had fun..yeah hit me up I'll take you there for a beer it's called last rites brewery
I really enjoyed this video! I am an outdoorsy person, but I feel like I would need to train for this hike. Thank you for sharing!
Whoa, you guys had me nervous on some of those climbs. Intense. Thanks for taking us along.

Awesome video. Tassie is so beautiful. What camera are you using?
I appreciate that and yes, Tassie is one of a kind. I shot this video on the Lumix G85 with an Oly and Sigma prime

if a bushwalker falls off a track and they aren't being filmed for youtube - do they make a sound?
That's a great question! I would love to run this experiment on my next hike but since I wouldn't be filming I would have no way to prove my findings. Furthermore, if a RUclipsr is not being filmed while bushwalking it's highly unlikely to be a RUclipsr and is probably just a regular bushwalker. Is this a trick question? 😉
@@IntrepidRoad try it anyway - I'll take your word.
second point - youtubers don't have to youtube all the time. '-)
If a RUclipsr is not being observed on film they cease to exist in time and space. It's the attention seeker's version of the double slit experiment
@@IntrepidRoad haha, fair enough.
at least you don't use trecking poles.
they really cause damage on our tracks down here!
@@haydenwalton2766 I usually take one on the off chance I need the balance but prefer to hike without them tbh. Anyway, jokes aside I hope you enjoyed the video
Would I be an absolute psychopath to attempt this in late April?
You'd expect to receive more rain than our March traverse but sometimes it's just luck of the draw. You might have perfectly clear days or snow. If you're comfortable with scrambling in the wet and have all the right gear I'd give it a crack
Ran out of tp? Creek there, use a bottle of water!
Pretty sure I was out of hand sanny also and it's a long drive back to Hobart 😂
@@IntrepidRoad hand sany? Creek there, use some water! Jk mate.
