That's a great range of sub-topics for a beginner like me to be aware of - thanks Mowser!
Also, I really appreciate your tight edits and the excellent viewer-value/run-time ratio in your videos.
I'm glad you found the sub-topics helpful and enjoyed the editing style! Thanks for watching!
Such a great upload my friend. Professional and brilliant
Thanks!
Great video thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Yes, I have a video idea. How about showing us exactly the prep steps you just talked about. The sources you use for your gpx waypoints, and how you download them to your device. Your map sources and applying overlays, etc. And whatever additional steps you take. Also a video, made on tral, of finding a lost trail! This happens way too often, Mowser.
Great idea. Will add that to the list. Video on the trail is a great idea too! Covered some of this briefly in these two videos th-cam.com/video/MDecs8w-5ig/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QnEwSuGYeRNzpn4R AND th-cam.com/video/n6riQ3woy8c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ltJkKEuOGpsubuxY
Just saw a for sale ad in the Facebook "overland track" group for gear (tent, trekking poles, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, stove etc.) someone claimed they bought for $300 and they're selling for $150, that they claimed they'd used on the overland. Decathlon tent, Kmart everything else.
I suppose ok ... And if they'd actually used it on that track, they must have gotten lucky with conditions, but any challenging turn for the weather and they'd have been fucked.
yeah that's crazy. Maybe a decathlon tent might be ok for overland but that other stuff will surely just fall to bits very quickly. And yes, if weather got crazy like it often does this time of year...... no good
@@mowsertas cheapo trekking poles? Yeah ok. The Kmart jetboil copycat? That might be ok.
But cheapo air sleeping pad with no insulative properties? Summer-rated sleeping bag? Single-skin $75 decathlon pop up tent? Wtf ... The Overland has become a bit of a joke these days. Some of the questions being asked in that Facebook group suggest people with zero hiking experience taking on a six day trek as their first hike. Wtf.
@@praktika1082 saw plenty of that when I used to guide down there. Amazing more people don’t get into trouble! I don’t what trekking poles you could find to fit in that budget! And the bag and pad must be terrible!
And this is why they are selling the equipment also, as it was a once-off and wasn't for them... Change a few things and have a better experience, that said seen a few others swipe the card getting the most expensive everything also and having the same experience as the Kmart wonderer.
here's an idea that can be done over and over again. Best foods for hiking.
Yes! I like it. Been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s on the list!
@@mowsertas please do a breakdown of a days trip then also the terminology. Like complex carbohydrates🤔
