Bit of a compilation of pottering around Bogong, Feathertop and Hotham. A day spent out of the filthy resorts is a day well spent.
whaaaa 😆
Great Vid
The chute down to the lake is sick. Is that on the main range?
Yep, Club Lake / Curruthers on the Main Range. Most of the rest is from Vic.
You looked pretty nervous throughout - that makes perfect sense. Would have been good to see your camp set-up and where you camped.
Thanks, you're right...I was pretty trepidatious after reading lots of trip reports! I kind of go through my gear in the lightweight hiking gear video on my channel - which was filmed in the spot I camped on the Viking.
Hi mate, how did you navigate the whole time?
Nah, it was pretty straight-forward, just sticking on spurs. Nowhere near the difficulty of the Viking!
The tent has seen some sunshine. Is it still waterproof at this point? Just wondering :)
Yes, still going strong. Some seam tape around the floor has come off, but the outer skin is still good to go.
Just stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. New sub :)
8:30 - such a picturesque line, I like it. Some rather aggressive skiing on decent (higher consequence) terrain, even if it is late spring corn. Nice work. Its so great being able to get into spots in the mountains on skis that would be next to "impossible" (effort) in grren season. So beautiful down there, so many vibes

Ha Ha. Nobody has anything good to say about the Zeka Spur track!. I was fortunate enough to get a lift up to the top in a proper 4 WD so I walked down the Dry River Spur in searing heat and then in fog and rain went up the Zeka Spur track in a 4x 4 vehicle the next day .
We BTAC volunteers cleared the entire Dry River spur foot track two summers ago or so. It offers a more interesting way out of the Wonnaggatta River Valley and takes you up to Guy's hut and Bryce's Gorge car park.
I knew you would have found and commented on this video! I'd have bet my house on it 😂👍
come back mr snowmoneyskimo
scenery was fantastic, I am so jealous this isn't easy for me to get to.
death before dishonour

amazing review defo gonna get one homie
wow! such a great review. I'm gonna buy one myself. Thanks :)
Thanks - want one of these big time!
I have the Direkt2 and didn't try to get the vestibule until it was off market so wonder if the AC2 vestibule will fit it?
Looking at the connection points, the new vestibule looks compatible with the Diekt2 - although your best bet would be to reach out to Mtn Hardware for a direct answer :)
Love it! Was looking at my photos from Feathertop in 2018 and spotted yours, will you be out ski touring again this season?
Hey dude, great to hear from ya. Already done a few days on Bogong. I live up here now so if the weather's good I'm out and about
@@snowmonkeyskimo7905 I'm up at falls creek for the season, also was up on Bogong, might see you out there!
just got a pair of these
Beautiful scenery, love it. Thanks for sharing! New subscriber here ❤️
First, your accent is extremely acceptable. Second, I think you are my aussie twin. So that makes it great to see you review because you use it and set it up and use it like I would. Cheers. Lastly. I love seeing a tent that has been used so long and you havnt had much issue with it. Our nammatj 2 GT will be delivered soon for my wife and I and this is amazing.
Nice video. Love it. You desperately need P r o m o S M!!!
How tall are you? Enough size?
I'm 179cm, and it's plenty big enough for me. If you're 200ish I'd look elsewhere perhaps
Thanks! Im 189cm and using 2 sleeping bags+mats so length is issue.
Yours is newer and fits the vestibule. Mine is from the first productiin year snd I live it. Super light at 3lbs total. Me and the dog fit in it great. Better than hauling my Sierra Designs Tiros around. Lol
Great real world review. Thx. I have and love my MH Direkt 2. Even fits my Aussie Shpherd in. Any reviews on that tent from you?
epic
1400 canadian dollars from the Hilleberg website. Ouch! But I'd buy one if I could.
Best vid agreed. Uniquely from Australian back country, if there's half a foot of snow/slush left there will be tracks on it 😂
Never an issue with the zippers mate?
Nope - rock solid after all these years :)
@@snowmonkeyskimo7905 Thanks mate. I bought one. Glad I did.
we love u and miss u
Lol, I'm working down the peninsula right now. Miss y'all too
