This is an amazing record of a multi-day hike and mesmerising to watch. I blog my walks to friends but feel very inadequate after watching this effort. Very inspiring I feel like I was there with Josh.
Another incredible production Josh. We are subscribed to almost all the silent bushwalk UA-camrs as it's one of our favourite styles.. and both my partner and I agree you are a step above the best of them. Thanks for your time and effort as always.
Just love your videos of all your hikes Really professional style and so pleasurable to watch. Your filming gives a fabulous views with plenty of time to absorb the scene from insects to flower to stunning views without a damn selfie stick Keep up the great work
I love the in-depth nature of how you went about filming this trip, it's a trail I have always wanted to try but have never been sure how to go about doing it. This is not only gorgeous but incredibly informative
Cheers, really appreciate it! If I get the time I may look at doing a guide on how to do the Cape to Cape in a bit more detail. There's a bit of info out there on the web to dig through but hardly anything video wise, so we will see! If you get the chance to I'd highly recommend giving the trail a crack
It’s always greener on the other side. I’m sure there’s plenty of people out there that wish they’d started a family earlier. Thanks for your kind words though :)
What an amazing job. I know what it must have taken to get some of those shots, and this is a really top-quality production. It deserves thousands more views! I'm also now totally set on doing this walk as soon as we're allowed to travel again. Thanks, Josh!
Cool video, brought back a lot of memories from my end to end in 2018. So many outstanding moments throughout the 5 or 6 days. My highlights were Moses Rock campsite - like you, I got there after dark after a real day's struggle. The cliffs before Contos campsite, the karri forest after Contos, the beach walks coming into and out of Deepdene, all amazing.
Amazing production and videography Josh. You have a great eye, I liked the leaf spinning on the web. Really nice touch. I imagine that there's lots of editing and post production back on site in your donga after shift. Keeps you out of the wettie I guess. Keep it up please.
Cheers Michael. Perhaps a few too many hours, although I wouldn’t have it any other way. The creative process can get a little addictive at times, hiking is only half the enjoyment for me.
Also looking at doing this on RnR. Unfortunately will have to Fastpack it over 3 days. The cinematography was some of the best I have seen on hiking channels on UA-cam.
That was a great moment. I was wondering about the set up of that shot getting you left hand in focus. May have commented beforehand but reiterate that you have a great eye and are an amazing talent as a videographer and editor. Just amazing work right down to the music. Magic...
Such an amazing video! I loved every bit of it. I also really liked the story telling at the end. So happy you enjoyed it! Which other ones are you looking at doing in WA? 😁
Great video!! Some seriously awesome cinematography going on there. This one has been on my list for a while as well. Makes me want to book that flight... hopefully soon.
Nice one Josh, brought back great memories when I did it in Jan 2019. So many amazing spots, hitting that perch at Contos was one of the highlights. Those final southern beaches look as soft as ever. My hats off to you doing the kms & getting all the photography/drone work in. Did a quick early morning section Yallingup to Naturaliste a couple of weeks ago on Jun 1 & remember running into a guy geared like you at the trail near Sugarloaf.
Contos was definitely one of my highlights too. I’d heard it was good and seen the odd photo but actually standing/sitting there and taking it all in was something special. Ah bugger you would have just missed me! I was at sugarloaf on the 30th May
Thanks! Such a beautiful region where you guys are! I actually stopped in for an ice cream on my way through but I must have missed timed it as the shop was closed :'(
@@JoshCarrHikes Yes our kiosk is only open subject to demand but we always have icecreams in our Reception at the other end of the park which is open 8.30-5pm every day (except Christmas Day). Would you mind if we shared this amazing footage on Hamelin Bay Holiday Park's youtube page?
There's no way this only has 11k views, Idk when, but this channel is gonna blow up! There might be some value in making an instagram, twitter, and facebook page to keep people informed about what you're working on, and when new videos are up, I believe that's a pretty standard method to increase engagement. Also patreon might be a potentially good option to help fund these trips and allow you to make more videos. Lastly, I'm sure there's tons of brands that would be willing to work with you and there could be some benefit in getting in touch with with brands that seem to sponsor other hiking creators. Basically the quality is 1000% there, but I think some strategic use of social media could help gain a corresponding amount of traction. Just my 2 cents! And again, great video, thank you for making this!!!
Sorry more thoughts: - Potentially splitting this into 2 parts might generate more views, and considering the quality, that wouldn't be unreasonable, I think - Adding cc's describing what your doing and general thoughts throughout the hike might be an interesting additional, similar to how the channel Primitive Technology does - The colour palette, sound design (music choice, balance between music and nature sounds), the order of different shots, the variety of shots, the 4k definition option, and so much else about this is just spectacular, you really are incredible at this!! - I feel like you also have an edge on UA-cam, cuz it seems like practically no one is filming Australian hikes in this high quality, from at least what I could tell - You have a great sense of humour too 😆
Thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback. When I posted a new video on the channel I will promote it on other platforms such as reddit, IG reels, Tiktok & Facebook. Some posts tend to get a bit of traction but overall I think it’s the lack of regular uploads that are hurting the channel growth. It used to be a concern of mine but I’ve since taken a step back and will look at as an ongoing project of 10+ years. It’d be the dream to be able to do it full time but realistically I think that’s a long way from happening. I’ve thought about setting up a Patreon but I just don’t feel that there’d be the support, plus I wouldn’t feel like I need it as I’m relatively well off & in a stable job for the most part. I really like the idea of incorporating comments though like Primitive Technology, might do that in the next upload!
I couldn’t even keep a straight face if I was recording lol ! I’d laught ! Love your video brother ! I’m heading down to tassie this November to 3 capes so excited ! Cheers for the videos . Keep them coming ! It’s so good to get away from society and blend in with nature ! If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t had the motivation to go ! Cheers again josh
Thanks mate. Adds a bit of time onto the hike but well worth it getting to show off our beautiful country to others that might not be fortunate enough to see it.
Great video mate. Just a question.... What's shelter like between yallingup to moses rock? I'm off soon and there's a bloody blizzard it seems for my second day.
Hey Tim sorry about the delayed response. By shelter I’m assuming shelter from the elements while you’re hiking? Unfortunately not too much from what I can recall. Being up against the coastline for basically all of it leaves you pretty exposed. There’s a bit a reprieve after Quinninup Falls but I was hiking in the dark by then so couldn’t really tell where I was headed 😅
A great film Josh you're right to call it that, as its beautifully crafted mate, loved the leaf! How hard were the 30k plus days? The contrast between the Tamala limestone and the granite beaches is great, the granite being my favourite as it is so colourful!
Thanks mate! The first day definitely tested the endurance levels. Ended up walking the last 2 hours in the dark and rain but apart from that it wasn’t too bad. It’s certainly a sight to see - Some would even say that the granite is very gneiss ;) (geology nerd here)
Gday mate..I love your videos..I'm interested in riding the trails...Can you suggest any trails you've treked that are also accessible by bike?...I've tried a couple here in South Australia's Fleurieau Peninsular that ended up with cliffs...
Can’t say I’ve been on too many that are designed for bikes as well. Have you looked into the Munda Biddi or the Kep Track? Both are meant to be pretty decent rides
Where did you stay each night? (Sorry if this is pointed out somewhere that I haven't found yet). I am especially interested in the campgrounds with water refill opportunities and the air bnb
From North to South the order of places I stayed at were Moses Rock, Ellensbrook, an airbnb in gnarabup, Point Rd & Deepdene. All the sites had rain water tanks aside from Point Rd but I just filled up at Contos which was only a couple kms away. Hope that helps!
Hey mate, yeah I filtered all the water I drank just to be safe. And yeah pretty sure it was the Sawyer s2. I’ve since got a Katadyn befree bottle/filter though and it’s much better for weight and portability. Edit: I’ll add on this trip I was filtering and using tablets as well which was probably way over kill. Either one or the other will do the job
Your videos are nothing less than visual poetry
Lovely video! My favourite part is definitely the inflating of the pillow. Might seem like a mere task but it signifies so much!
This is an amazing record of a multi-day hike and mesmerising to watch. I blog my walks to friends but feel very inadequate after watching this effort. Very inspiring I feel like I was there with Josh.
Thanks Peter. Have you got a link to your blogs? I’d be interested having a read
Super job mate. The music did indeed relax and calm, though a tiny bit of sadness managed to surface.
Keep up the lovely work.
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Another incredible production Josh. We are subscribed to almost all the silent bushwalk UA-camrs as it's one of our favourite styles.. and both my partner and I agree you are a step above the best of them. Thanks for your time and effort as always.
Nice video mate. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful inspiring in its production Josh - loved the music and allowing us to soak it up as indeed you did and so did I. Thanks.
Thanks Mary-Jo, means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Well that scenery is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
It's even better in person!
@@JoshCarrHikes i bet! We also have a really good time making outdoor content
Thanks Josh we are doing this walk the end of September
A most beautiful country you live in. Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed it all. That burger and
Coke looked good !
Cheers Rob! Not going to lie, it was bloody good haha. Especially after living off dehydrated meals for a couple days!
Incredible film! So much more inspired to go now!
Thanks Jess!
good work ! last clip at the end ties it all in !
Thanks dude!
Great job, thank you. Very enjoyable viewing.
Cheers Peter, appreciate it
You're like the Australian Kraig Adams. Superb film. Never knew WA was so beautiful!
He’s by far one of my biggest inspirations, glad enjoyed it. There’s so many beautiful places in WA, this is just scratching the surface!
Love that hike. Great video. Thanks for sharing. It was so nice to relive the trail.
Thanks for watching, such a beautiful hike.
Wow!! Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing this! 👍
Thanks for watching!
This was absalutely breath taking, thankyou so much for showing the magnificent place we live in
We’re doing the cape to cape right now not camping but thank you for sharing it is a truly beautiful walk
such amazing scenes 🎉
Thanks for the video ! Great job ! I will be there next month !
Amazing video of our south west. Love it!
Thanks mate!
Beautiful work.
Just love your videos of all your hikes Really professional style and so pleasurable to watch. Your filming gives a fabulous views with plenty of time to absorb the scene from insects to flower to stunning views without a damn selfie stick

Such a great trail - absolutely you must do it!
well done on your vid and walk.. wish I did things like this when I was young.. got married too young.. didn't live first. your vid was great thanks
It’s always greener on the other side. I’m sure there’s plenty of people out there that wish they’d started a family earlier. Thanks for your kind words though :)
So is marriage death😂?
Excellent video!
Cheers!
wow. this is great.
Cheers Ross
Great Video Josh ✔️
Love your work.
Thanks for sharing Josh. So beautiful.
Thanks Angelica!
Stunning hike, appreciate your willingness to share it.
OMG this is like the Australian equivalent to Kraig Adams videos. Good job!
Thanks Cyzie. As you could probably tell he’s a huge inspiration of mine so that’s awesome to hear :)
Absolutely beautiful! Very easy and pleasant to watch, I really enjoyed it, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Lovely. Well produced. Always been on my list to do, and you have given us a terrific preview.
Thanks Rob!
Excellent video! It was the whole package, even the music was relaxing
What an amazing job. I know what it must have taken to get some of those shots, and this is a really top-quality production. It deserves thousands more views! I'm also now totally set on doing this walk as soon as we're allowed to travel again. Thanks, Josh!
Thanks Mike, really appreciated! Hopefully it’s not too far away, best of luck with it!
Sublime. Thank you.
Awesome video mate. This trail is definitely on my bucket list 😁👍🏻
Cheers!
Absolutely love your video work! Looking forward to your next vid
Thanks for watching!

Couldn’t agree more. So many spectacular parts of the trails it’s hard to name a favourite stretch!
Awesome to watch, I loved every minute.
Amazing production and videography Josh. You have a great eye, I liked the leaf spinning on the web. Really nice touch.
I imagine that there's lots of editing and post production back on site in your donga after shift. Keeps you out of the wettie I guess. Keep it up please.
Cheers Michael. Perhaps a few too many hours, although I wouldn’t have it any other way. The creative process can get a little addictive at times, hiking is only half the enjoyment for me.
Once I become a proper camper, I would love to do something like this
I'm by no means a proper camper and I still did it!
Views on this are insanely underrated. Not kidding at all
I came here from Reddit. Amazing video. Ireally like it.
Also looking at doing this on RnR. Unfortunately will have to Fastpack it over 3 days. The cinematography was some of the best I have seen on hiking channels on UA-cam.
Incredible shots, loved seeing this from your perspective. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing with the world :)
Cheers Caroline and likewise! Looking forward to the Part 2 section of the Bibb
When you felt the rock at 11:02 it was almost like I could feel it too. Great videography and hike Josh, looking forward to more videos
Was hoping for it to have that sort of effect! Thanks for watching, Jordan :)
That was a great moment. I was wondering about the set up of that shot getting you left hand in focus.
May have commented beforehand but reiterate that you have a great eye and are an amazing talent as a videographer and editor. Just amazing work right down to the music. Magic...
WOW! That’s another level, Professional Cinematography, kept me engaged throughout. Thanks for sharing Josh 🙂 xx
Cheers Pri Vita ☺️
Unreal bro. This is one of my current goals. Great video.
Cheers Cam! You'll love it hey, best thing I've done in recent times
Really great video bro. I’m heading off to do this hike in late August. Seeing your video has gotten me excited. Cheers
Cheers! Best of luck mate, it’s an awesome walk. I’d imagine would be even more beautiful around that time of the year
Stunning. Huge effort mate.
Such an amazing video! I loved every bit of it. I also really liked the story telling at the end. So happy you enjoyed it! Which other ones are you looking at doing in WA? 😁
Thanks Dori, means a lot! Kep Track, Stirling Ridge Walk & Murchison Gorge Walk if all goes to plan
Great video!! Some seriously awesome cinematography going on there. This one has been on my list for a while as well. Makes me want to book that flight... hopefully soon.

Incredible video man! Love seeing this type of content from another Australian
Cheers Daniel! From what I could find there’s not too many Aussies out there putting out similar content so hoping to kind of fill that void a bit.
Awesome video ~ great footage Josh :-)

How are these not picked up by DPAW they are incredible! Keep it up mate never felt this inspired!!
😂 thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow thats fantastic work Josh, it must have taken you so long to do that footage. Great work

Josh Carr Hikes haha the Tamala that runs down the coast from N of Kalbarri to Margs is the second biggest deposit in the world after Bermuda 😉
That’s one I didn’t know! I’ll add that to my long list of useless geology facts that I’ll probably never use :p
Josh Carr Hikes I only found out the other week as someone asked me about the rocks along our coastline.
Nice Vid.
Cheers Mark
hey mate, cool vid, what was the water bottle with fliter you used in the creek??
Cheers. S1 Sawyer bottle & filter
Just finished it last night at 9pm.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Hey mate, yeah I filtered all the water I drank just to be safe. And yeah pretty sure it was the Sawyer s2. I’ve since got a Katadyn befree bottle/filter though and it’s much better for weight and portability.

Hi friend, did you use gators for alot of the trail?
Nah no need, haven’t ever found I’ve needed them

How much of this trail is walking on sand?
What month do you do this hike it man?
Late June/early July
What month did you do this hike in?
Early June
Several of your videos have just 1 dislike! Have you got an ex who is still salty with you lol?
Another lovely vid thanks :)
Hahah I’ve never that noticed that before! Someone out there mustn’t be a fan
Too much eating otherwise real nice thanks
