Phew.. I try. There's a newer version I made a year or so ago here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM2Rh6hivNuUcqM.html

Yep, I've recently switched to more synthetic and have also found a great synthetic lightweight (but warm) jacket layer for when it's raining. But yep, I love down jacket when it's not. ;-)

but she was already up the mountain...

Awww, bless you +Kylie Hu - thanks so much for stopping by. Appreciate it.

My pleasure Sami. Glad you liked it!

Yes, beautiful scenary that doesn't need any guns or such ;-)

Thanks! +justinssleeyt Glad you appreciated it.

Blushing. Thanks. Although you get greater temp extremes in the Rockies with snow, the principles are still the same.

sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me

@Angel Bruno instablaster =)

@Caleb Antonio Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Caleb Antonio It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

Great, thanks Wayne.

It's easy to get to also Alex... It's at Mt Hay in the Blue Mts National Park, 2 hrs west of Sydney. Amazing place.

Thanks Slamdunkid1

Great to hear. Scouts are a great organisation.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.

Glad you found it helpful!

Appreciate it. Thanks YSOne

+WWExploring 1984 Again... thank YOU for stopping by! Glad you're finding them helpful.

+John Collingwood Happy to help.

Yay! thanks +Raymond Lesher

Thanks Jen... there's more coming soon! I'm currently planning season 3.

+Lotsafreshair Really looking forward! :)

Very true! Brrrrr, you would need more layers than us for sure! It's winter here and it was -8.4c wind chill yesterday, which is about the coldest it gets where I live!

+Kendall's Gaming channel Yep, there's not too many of us around Kendall, but we're here. Please check out my blog too as you may find some helpful tips there also. Is that 20kms in 1 day or over a couple of days? Where are you hiking?

KZfaq Channel Im doing the Cheshire hike with scouts next year training hike in saturday 25

To be sure... thanks.

Yes! It's stunning there and definitely on my NZ bucket list. I'm doing the Greenstone and Caples in 2018 and I can't Wait!

Thanks!

+michael richardson Unfortunately not that one! This clip was made with a professional broadcast grade camera. When I make my other out-on-the-track videos, I use either a Panasonic Lumix Tough or an Olympus Tough camera.

Lotsafreshair ok, thanks for letting me know :)

Ha... I love maki sushi!... with wasabi and soy!

Ha! I wish I could remember!

+Peter Magnay Ah, such wisdom Peter! Yep those pesky little slippery jakes are the reason I wear gaiters. I don't care about scratches and the like, it's those two fanged scratches that I want protection from. There's 3 types of gaiters that I know of: 1) Generic Bushwalking 2) Snow Gaiters (more for mountaineers and xc skiing) and 3) rogainers gaiters. Rogainers ones are very fitted (like canvas thick socks to your knees) and aren't what you need. When I choose a 1) generic bushwalking gaiter, I simply go for something that is high towards my knee (1-2 inches below), a simple method of attaching them (I like a hook to put over the laces) and some kind of velcro and elastic to help hold them in place. Generally, I need to keep pulling them up/adjusting them a few times throughout the day when going through thick scrub. For the fabric, I go for midweight canvas as it has some breathability, as opposed to the plastic lined ones. I don't care about waterproofness, as I wear them in rivers, the rain, etc. Hope that helps!

+Lotsafreshair Thanks Caro for your comprehensive reply. Will take that on board. Enjoying your videos and the info you provide. Have the Larapinta Trail in my bucket list also after a video you posted. No leaches in NZ you say, (when you did on the Dart River, Queenstown region video) and no snakes. Combined with the best scenery I have ever encountered to date in such a small island (South) . Maybe a permanent move to NZ :) Cheers

That's a Macpac!

Not much... here's a newer version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM2Rh6hivNuUcqM.html

Hi +Lukene Sotomayor - Yes, joining a hiking club is a great way to get started into hiking and the outdoors. A simple Google search in your area should be a good start. All the best.

+Lotsafreshair I will, thank you!

They're a comfy option for sure.

Hi Sabine, When you say "super cold" ... how cold are you talking?? Cheers Caro

+Lotsafreshair​ about the middle of winter in the hills not snow though

Ummm... which country and region Sabine? Winter in the hills of NSW are different to winter in the hills of the US, Europe or even Tasmania ;-)

+Lotsafreshair yes nsw

Hi Sabine, What I've demonstrated here is completely fine for walking in NSW in the cold of winter and what I've used for many years around the Blue Mountains and in the Snowy Mountains. Once you're walking you'll get hot and remove layers as you start to sweat. If it's super cold at the start (like in early mornings before you get going), then simply add another base layer/merino/thermal. Hope that helps!

Mt Hay, Blue Mountains National Park, Australia.

Of course you do! However, this is filmed in Australia... at 1000m (where I live), where 3 is usually sufficient, unless you head down to the alpine areas!

+benjatronic Ha... I might have to work on that one! Looks like you don't mind a silly hat yourself :-)

+Lotsafreshair i have so many silly hats, it's not funny. i need more time to wear them all.

Thanks for your plant-based friendly response. I understand there are many different opinions and passionate supporters that make up this world and I respect your opinion. Unfortunately, I've personally found synthetic alternatives a sad substitute to warmth when I've tried alternatives. However, I also believe that not all farmers use mulesing as a standard.
