  • In this video Josh and I head back to Kosciuszko, This time we leave the bikes at home and hired some snow shoes. We met a fan of the channel and now mate who tagged along and gave us some tips along the way. We camped at Horse Camp hut and also visited Whites River Hut. Weather was so nice although it did end up being the coldest night of the year (so far). Beautiful scenes up at Whites River Hut. Loved this trip!

      Thank you! It certainly was. I still can’t believe how nice the weather was for the majority of this trip! I just love it down there 😀

    Brilliant Tim. I skied out there in 95. I hope the boys from Bent Spoke are looking after you - their beers make me happy as well.

      😂 @$30 for this 4 pack I don’t think so!
      It’s probably a good thing though because I’d turn into an alcoholic they’re so delicious.
      It’s so nice out there. I kind of want to go bunker in a hut now during a storm 🤔

    A Bent Spoke sponsorship shouldn’t be too far off mate! 🍻Awesome video as always!

      Free beer would be nice. I may turn into an alcoholic though 😂 I wouldn't say no haha!

      Cheers mate, you should definitely check it out! We were so lucky with the weather though. Next year I think I’ll have to go deeper 😃

    Thanks for an excellent video. So different from what's out there, photography was brilliant as well as the video. BUT.....who wanders about with no shoes or socks eating ice-cream in those temperatures???????????
    Bent Spokes need to sponsor this channel to the tune of a fourpack a week. Cheapest and best advertising they could get.

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha, It wasn’t as bad as it looked. We got the fire cranking early on the Saturday night and it was pretty toasty warm in the hut. My shoes and socks got wet so I was trying to dry them. I was saving my spare socks for bed. Ended up burning a hole in my socks, little to close to the fire 🫡
      I could definitely handle a 4 pack a week! Sign me up 😂

      It was so nice up around the second hut, I’m definitely going back with a split board at some point. It will be sick!

    Hey Tim - Daniel here from Pocket's Hut earlier in the year. Love the video - Abi and I did a similar trip a few weeks back also camping at Horse Camp Hut. Snow camping is very daunting but so rewarding! Doing it once has certainly made me keen for more, next stop a multiday trip to Valentine's I think!

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey mate, great minds think alike, I don’t think I’ll have an opportunity this winter but I’m definitely going to plan a multi day trip for next year. I’m so keen to see Valentine Hut in the snow and I want to get Sarah out there too. So nice camping in the snow! I don’t want winter to end 😂
      I’m already drooling over a nice photo of the red hut in the snow. Can’t Wait!

  • @terryleung9422
    @terryleung9422 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been busy, just found your video. What a cracker, it was similar to whatI planned to do this...last winter. But things didn't go along plan. But definitely will ride more up the mountain in warmer days. Hope to see you there😄😄

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Winter went so fast, I had plans to do a lot of trips while the snakes were asleep and life has just got in the way. It was such a fun trip in the snow. You will have to try it next year. As for rides, I plan to do a heap in the mountains this spring / summer / autumn, lets see how many times I actually get down there. See you on the trails ✌

    Pretty nice Video,
    cool unusual setting for one of your videos! Love it.
    Your cinematic skills are getting better and better!

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers mate! Bike or no bike, my obsession with Kosciusko is constantly growing. I just love it down there. This was my first time camping in “proper snow” (we’ve had a little on some rides) and now I know I can survive on one of Australia’s colder nights it’s got me keen for more. Since this trip I’ve watched a few videos of people camping up higher in the mountains and it looks so nice. Doubt I’ll be back in the snow this year but I’ll definitely be back down there on the bike at some point. Thanks for watching 👍

      Thanks, It makes me feel pretty good getting out there and filming these trips and if I can pass that joy on to others, well that makes me feel even better! Cheers for the comment 👍

    Great one Tim. There is a TH-cam channel called outdoor boys. They make ice-cream with snow like that. They also put some vanilla essence in.

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว

      The guys that gave me the left over condensed milk and told me about it mentioned they saw it on a TH-cam channel. This must be the one. I'll have to have a look for it. This is the first I've heard of the vanilla essence, I think it needed it! 😂

    Outstanding timing 🏆 just emailed some family when you popped up ☺️
    What's all that weird white stuff lol
    Man you looking content Tim 👍
    Hiking trails my preference even though
    My first bike pack was at 13(41yrs ago....shite😳)
    I'm cruising slowly towards upper bylong ATM. Will check in at Rylstone in week or so 👍
    Is that Josh (wild child) from your Barrington trip polblu ECT.
    Fantastic story teller and editing,

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That white stuff was cold whatever it was 😂 Yeah that was Josh from a few riding vid’s, loving the cold weather in his jeans and sleeping in a highly inadequate sleeping bag. 😳 he took an extra blanket and survived so all good.
      I’m loving that you do these long rides. I think I want to do a long one.
      Congrats on the one sub 😜 🍻

    Another great adventure Tim. No drone? has Mitch repossessed it?

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well he does have it in his possession at the moment but I couldn't really fit it in. I was overflowing as it was. Flying drones in Kosciuszko is a bit of a no go as well. I'm very hesitant using it down there. Very tempting though.

    This is awesome! You are seriously talented. Do you also mind sharing your gear? Cheers!

    • @advanturest
      @advanturest  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Melissa, Thanks for the kind words.
      This was my first time camping in the snow and it was so much fun, I can't wait to do it again next year. I'm not too experienced with gear, I tend to use whatever I have and just get out as much as I can. Slowly I'm investing in better gear gear but 1 thing at a time. Here is what I used.
      The tent I'm using is the ALPS Mountaineering Tasmanian 2 tent. It's been a solid tent but its heavy. It was the cheapest 4 season tent I could find. Early 2020 I paid $240 new from amazon. I think if I had my time again I'd pay a bit more and get something lighter. I recently upgraded my sleeping bag specifically to do some colder trips. I got the Sea to Summit Ascent 3. Comfort rating of -11 deg. Its nice and warm but definitely can't move around in it as well as my big old bag. Sleeping mat was a Mountain Designs Airlite 5.5 insulated. This with a cheap foam roll to insulate me from the snow worked perfect. I wasn't cold underneath me at all. It worked so good.
      My pillow was a Sea to Summit Aeros. Apart from that I just wore thermals and a down jacket to bed. During the day I wore my cheap Aldi snow boots, some Craghopper waterproof trousers, and any jacket really. We hired snow shoes from Jindabyne.
      The cameras were a Canon R6 and a GoPro 8 in case that's the gear you were asking about 😂
      Hope that helps.
      Cheers
      Tim

      Definitely keen to go again. This was nearly 2 years ago and I was super keen last winter but went overseas. I’m not missing out this year. I can’t wait for the temps to drop 😂
