It’s so great hey. Wish I had more time In the area. So good it’s your backyard

@@KateGrarock I'm so blessed here

Mate love love it. It’s so hard to judge the difficulty of a hike from reading online stuff hey. I remember being really nervous. 21 days is a touch slow but I did some short days and enjoyed chilling / exploring around camp so you can do whatever you want. The biggest difficulty with taking that long is you will need to carry a lot of food. Food is heavy. After food drops your pack is heavy and that’s when I felt less agile and had more difficulty covering the distance/ bounding over rocks. The biggest trick with the Larapinta is to drink heaps of water and electrolytes and start hiking super super early - almost in the dark. This way you can avoid the extreme heat and hot sun. So keep the fluids up. Make sure your footwear works for you. I recommend wrightsocks they are blister free. My pack was 45 l it was great I have a vid on my gear What's in my pack? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbGPpc2d06jXZKM.html and a new one coming out soon. I also have a lot of food vids. With a year to go and some good planning you will have a ball. I recommend al lot of hill walking with your pack on. Happy to chat more

@@KateGrarock THANKS! Will think it over some more and rejig the itinerary. Yes it’s really hard to gauge the track and how I’ll go on it.

Thanks mate happy hiking

Cool mate. Yeah I’ve not experienced that but a great point and something to keep an eye on for sure. Thanks. I tend to have about 30cm

It was so good. I’ll have to do another order. I loved it

It really is! Thanks for being a part of the journey with us

Epic mate. Wow what an incredible sight that would be. They are such an incredible place.

Yeah

Thanks mate. Yeah we hiked in with our water. But I managed to find a little out there too.

Absolutely was a special trip. Thanks for watching

100% 😝 haha

Thanks for watching. Cheers

So cool. Yeah some bits are better than others. I haven’t read it but I have read accounts of their amazing crossing of this gorge back before proper transport, sat images and maps. Would have been such an adventure back then. Cheers

Yes the highs and lows of it hey. The lamb certainly made the lost zoleo hurt less.

everyone needs a Jules :)

@@KateGrarock 😅😂🤣

Thanks mate really appreciate the comment and totally agree re never getting enough

So cool - yes I have been meaning to get out to the other side one day. Happy hiking

Hahaha thanks mate - yeah my fam loved that comment too. have a big backlog of hikes to edit and get out and I'm working on a gear vid. Man wish i could quit my day job hahaha

Thanks so much mate. I really appreciate it

Thanks Sam yes I do go to that area a bit so will be keen to get back out there and have another look. Happy hiking to you

Couldn't agree more. thanks

Yeah it was very rough in sections. Yes I think I agree re flagging but I have seen some places where they have gone overboard. I wonder who is doing some of it. I know Parks and hiking groups do a bit but this area is not very popular and it would take a long time to mark and there was a lot of twigs cut - would have taken hours of not days. but yes having a clear small path is much better than everyone trampling vegetation all over the area. Yep we were down in Morton NP. love that park but im so keen to get up north sometime too.

Omg yes thanks so much. Yea he is amazing hey. I’m such a convert now re vivos. Got 2 pairs. Love them

Thanks so much for watching. Cheers. I used to do this all the time. Trying to get back into it.

Haha it’s a great addition and doubles as a very noisy pillow

@@KateGrarock If you've drunk the contents, a noisy pillow won't keep you awake. 🥴

@@CatsAreTheBestPeople-mm1fo haha so true

Further south in Morton

Sadly he is taken. But I’m keen to get him out on many more trips

Thanks a million mate

I’m from the east but got west a bit for work

Gotta love it

Yeah I wanted to do tests but wasn’t sure anyone wanted to see that haha

Thank you! 😄was a pretty wild trip

They look cool. Do you ever have issues filtering water with lots of sediment. Is it easy to backwash?

@@KateGrarock hi 👋 . They don’t backwash , they have limited capacity and are expensive. I use a browns bag for sediment. But they are so cool and safe .

@@franckorphanos2998 nice one. They look great

How lucky are we. I used to make my own as it was terrible but now I often just buy it. Happy hiking

I love that one too. I need to make some more NZ friends.

Yeah no worries.

Yeah no worries.

Thanks mate. It’s been fun. Next plan is for a tent breakdown

Absolutely it’s great stuff. There are a few no brands that I don’t personally like as they taste weird and have meat sponges 🧽 but real meals are great

Oh no. Yeah a bit of a journey. Thanks mate

Oh yes that would be so darn good. Hope they are easier to get one day

No worries just make sure to check the ingredients for pork. Customs must have had a delicious lunch

@@KateGrarock 😂🤣

They are great. Enjoy

So good mate. Yeah I’ve heard good things about them. I believe they are a no brand. We are so lucky with food these days. Happy hiking. Hope to have a new hiking vid out soon

Thanks mate

Thanks mate. It’s so amazing. Hope you get there with good weather. Happy hiking

It was 2 nights 3 days. Was a good amount of time.

Oh I grind it myself. But the finer the better for the Greek method.
