Enjoy! There are some great spots up there.

I have some pretty light gear. Osmo 1p tent: ~850g Macpac sleeping bag ~450g Thermarest (3/4 size) ~500g Tiny stove ~50g 1kg water - I only carried 1L of water at a time (as I knew there water at each campsite). Maybe 1.5kg food (a couple of freeze dried dinners plus muesli bars etc) You can see in the video I wore the same clothes the whole way and just had 1 change of clothes for night time plus some extra socks. Oh and a lightweight puffer which doesn't weigh much and also doubles as a pillow for sleeping. I didn't take any rain gear as the forecast was generally good and it wasn't cold so I knew even if I got wet it would just be uncomfortable rather than dangerous. I Made the video just with my phone so no extra cameras or anything, and just a small power bank that had just enough capacity for 2 - 3 recharges of the phone. A pretty minimal first aid kit. And not much else! For a longer hike, or in different weather the pack weight would have to go up but in these conditions I judged anything else to be unnecessary!

Yeah, mostly on the long descent to the valley, and the first part of the climb back out.

@TheAdventurousBen cool. I'm considering getting some myself

@ defo worth it depending on the course IMO.

@@TheAdventurousBen UTA50 🤣

Nice one and good luck!

Haha wow that’s great. Just looked at your channel and saw the ‘10 highest peaks’ vid. I went and did the ‘16’ (over 2 days) down there last year too 😅.

Thanks mate. Spend a bit of time on the stairmaster and you’ll be ok I’m sure 🤣

Thanks for shuttling! That’s an early start. Oh and good luck for next year.

Thank you, and congrats on the 30!

@@jameshohl6066 thanks 🙏

👍 sounds about right!

@@johnjrubadub 👍

Thank you! I think it saved a lot of runners.

Thanks 🙏

@@rivermax82 thanks!

🙏 Thank you!

Thanks mate. I typed a response to this 2 weeks ago and apparently didn’t hit ‘send’ - how did you go yesterday?

@ I finished which was a win, had a small surgery two weeks ago so it was looking like I wasn’t going to be able to take part, but I got the all clear from my gp on Wednesday. I think the two weeks in bed took its toll though as something on my knee went on the way up dead horse gap. From there it was a long slow waddle to the finish. Felt good not get over the line though. How did your day go for you?

Oh wow yeah not an ideal situation. Well done for overcoming it and getting it done. As for me - everything went pretty well. Didn’t get the time I wanted (not even close 😅) but didn’t have any big issues or anything. We 50k runners got the best of the weather too!

@@TheAdventurousBen Oh thursday was a great wasnt it haha, a few friends had done either the 100 or the miler and they looked like drowned rats coming over the finish. happy you had an enjoyable race mate! looking forward to your next one 💪

Yes on the sugary carbs. And thanks I’m happy with the progress!

@@joshg6et98 thanks. You’re right it’s one of those things that seems important until you realise that it just isn’t 🤷‍♂️

@TheAdventurousBen Yeah man, weight always fluctuates unless you're really focusing on it, which almost nobody is. Training like you are is much more important and you're doing really well. Looking forward to seeing your improvement.

That’s a good fun! Excellent 😅

Hey sorry I’m so late on this one. 1. Yes I have my zones set up on my Garmin watch and am good at sticking to it at least early on in a run. I do often aim to maintain the pace towards the end though which can bump me into zone 3 for example. Basically I could do better at this. 2. It hadn’t occurred to me but I think it’s a great idea. I’m going to see if I can work this into my routine over summer!

Oh and thank you 🙏

@@diwu7632 thank you! 🙏

There's only one section: ua-cam.com/video/Xm9Wsaa3Dfw/v-deo.html that has "real" exposure and some other parts where it feels a bit airy. If you're comfortable with scrambl-ey terrain and have a head for heights I'd think it's fine overall though.

Thank you 🙏 I’m posting the next one this week and will be each 2 weeks from here on. Already learned a few things in the first two weeks too ;)

@@TheAdventurousBen Awesome, looking forward to it. I am also in Brissy and starting on my Ultra journey. Did the Guzzler 50km this year and am going to aim for the 100 next year.

Thank you! 🙏

Not on the usual trails. Probably yes if you're planning one of the less frequently traveled routes though as they can get overgrown.

@@BlackshacksBushcraft thank you 🙏

I don't know if that's it but it would make sense - the mountain (Barney) viewed from here sort of looks like a serrated edge to me!

Nice one! I’d call any finish at that distance a pretty big win 💪

Thanks - see you there!

Nice job. Kinda surprised with the congestion, I started in the last group and we had no stopping this year - a touch slow crossing one of the water crossings in the deep gully, but otherwise only stopping to catch the view or wish for a new set of legs.

I've been up the SE ridge twice now and didn't see many other either time. You can expect a few people on or near the summit and on the South (peasants) ridge though.

Thank you! Ah I didn't use a route but I did have a route description from some website - sorry I can't remember where I got it now.

Thanks Dude 🙏

Nice. I reckon Flinders is one of the best hikes in the Brisbane area.

Thanks so much 🙏 yes we were constantly amazed by the scenery in Europe. Magical!

Haha yeah must have been me. Give me a shout next time!

@@TheAdventurousBen will do mate!

Thanks! Fraser is just north of here so yeah it’s very similar.

Oh great, we must be a similar pace! Yeah really good thanks, how was yours?

The race was really good. Enjoyed it all - even the ski slope. @@TheAdventurousBen

Nice, well done us!

It’s the 30L

Awesome I'm looking at the new 40L. What tent/sleeping bag did you stuff into the 30L.

@@benchambers1974 I reckon the 40 would be the go for anything longer than this but the nice thing about these is the adaptability of the roll-top (can be larger or smaller depending on your load). I’m using a Nemo Hornet 1p, Macpac firefly 200 and a half-sized thermarest.

Thanks Ben! I'm looking for a 40l pack that has a running vest style shoulder harness system. There's a few more on the market these days.

I did it in january 2023, not the smartest timing but i'd be happy to answer if you have questions.

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you very much 🙏
