    This is by far my favorite area to hike, I've hiked this hike and or parts of it many times. I never get tired of it, but gee's that's a big pack for that hike.

      Have you hiked the Freycinet Peninsula circuit in Tasmania? It reminded me very much of this hike. It was beautiful! haha yeah it was the only pack i owned at this point in time. My gear has changed a fair bit since this trip!

    Awesome Hike. I have did this walk many years ago and we are trying to plan to do it in 2021. With a two night stay at the light house. A great adventure Ladies. Well done. Hit your bell. Aussie supporting Aussies. Yeah!

    Hello, chanced upon your videos when looking for a guide of what to pack for a multi-day hike and was happy to see you've been to Wilsons Prom which is where my husband and I will be going this March 2023. I was wondering as it seems like maybe you're based in Victoria what amount of warm clothes you would recommend for a 2 night hike to Wilsons Prom in early March? The weather forecast says 15 degrees - 26 degrees but from what I understand the weather can fluctuate quite a lot. Appreciate any advice from yourself or others who have experience :) Thank you!!

    • @settohike
      @settohike  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thats great you'll get to go to Wilsons Prom, its very beautiful. We did this hike fairly close to winter hence I was wearing leggings instead of my normal shorts haha. Just keeping in mind to bring some different layers so you'll be prepared for what ever the weather throws at you. For me that normally looks like hiking in a tshirt, with a lightweight fleece close by thats easy to throw on if I get cold. (i'll also have easy access to a beanie, gloves and rain jacket if it's even colder) I will also have a warmer jacket like a puffer or thicker fleece thats usually in the bottom of my bag mostly for camp (but if for some reason I was still cold I can also fetch it out) and when we reach camp i will put on a thermal top and bottoms with my warmer jacket and tracksuit pants. :)

    I loved your video and the way how you explain to us step by step, short but meaningful . so im still have some doubts about the camping side that you took. do i need to book it or just look the perferct spot for my tend over there? in Little Waterloo and Sealers Cove. What about the carpark? Any issues leaving the car three days there?
    Thank you so much.

    Love your video! I'm about to head off on the hike myself. How did you find hanging your food at the camping spots? Were there adequately high trees closeby?

    • @settohike
      @settohike  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! :) Yeah lots of trees around at both Sealers cove and Little Waterloo Bay. (Sealers cove has taller trees from memory) Although I have never hung my food before. I normally have it all in a big zip lock bag, then it goes into a food bag dry sack, then into my pack liner, then into my pack. I have never had a problem with sneaky animals but I also do not want to jynx myself :P Have an awesome trip!!

      @@settohike Hiking in the AZ desert is awesome. Just make sure you do it in the cooler parts of the year, such as October to April. In the summer, it often gets above 43C. I backpacked the Grand Canyon in July once and it was over 43C. My hiking buddy got heat exhaustion going down, and I had to carry both of our packs back up. Let's just say I'm a wiser hiker now...

    Wilson's Prom isn't that far away for me and I'm planning to do the same walk which should be fun. I wanted to ask though when you took your day packs at 3:21 what did you do with your backpacks and stuff? Hide them in the bush somewhere? You'd hope there's no theft out there but I'd still be too scared to leave it anywhere with all my goodies in it :) Also what's the water situation along the way, how much did you start with and what, where and how did you replenish (filter, etc)?

    • @settohike
      @settohike  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It is a very beautiful track, especially the soft white sand! Yeah we just put our packs to the side of the track. Luckily in 12 years that Ive been hiking no one has ever taken anything nor have I heard of anyone having had something being taken. But I suppose it is true you can’t trust everyone! I always carry my camera with me and don’t have anything hanging on the outside of my pack. You could also put your pack rain cover on your pack as another line of defence! For us there was plenty of water. There was a running hose thing at Sealers Cove Campground and a water tank at Little Waterloo Bay Campground. (Sometimes I email parks Vic and ask them if there is water in the tanks) My friend had a drink bottle that was made from Lifestraw for water filtration and I was using water purification tablets. (Aquatabs) I have just bought a sawyer squeeze water filter too but haven’t tried it out yet. I normally carry 3L of water. 2L in my bladder and a 1L bottle. I guess that might seam excessive for some but id rather carry it then worry about it!

    • @TJWood
      @TJWood 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the reply, I had guessed you just tucked them aside somewhere but I would be anxious that it would be just my luck in the middle of no where someone decides to pilfer it. You'd hope there would be some kind of respect and 'code' for hikers between hikers which I think your 12 years of experience shows too. I did note your friends filtered bottle and looked it up as an option as well but I also carry 3L the same way, 2.5 in bladder and spare bottle and have also ordered a sawyer mini as a backup which is on its way for some time now. Thanks again, happy trails :)

    • @settohike
      @settohike  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Always lovely to hear comments on editing! I am no animator so I do a cheat way of animation where I draw the individual lines in Photoshop then bring them into Final Cut Pro and keyframe with the crop tool so that the lines reveal themselves, if that makes any sense haha
