Enjoy it while you can. You won’t be doing that much longer. Your life changes after you have kids. Do you remember hearing those lines from family or friends or actually saying them? We heard them constantly about how we wouldn’t be able to camp, hike, backpack or road trip anymore once our little munchkin came along. I have to say with a smile, we proved them all wrong!
Our son is 17 months old. He went hiking when he was 6 weeks old, went on a 3 week road trip to the Pacific Northwest at 5 months old, camped at the Grand Canyon at 9 months old and has been to 7 National Parks.
He is the Adventure Baby!
Bushwalking in Tasmania can be a wet experience. In this post we share a short video of some of the track conditions you can encounter after a lot of rain. Wet feet are part of any backpacking journey and this video was shot near Cradle Mountain and Lake Rodway. We hope it demonstrates how wet the tracks can be after a good lot of rain. Enjoy !
A little while back we discussed the various luxury items people love to take on a trip.A book was one of the most common “must have” items. In this post we invite you to share your ideas for great books to take hiking, bushwalking or on a multi day trip anywhere!
What is ythe best book you have taken bushwalking? How do you choose a book to take on your next outdoor adventure? We invite you to share your book ideas with our other readers. It might be the best novel you have read on the track, a book you want to read but have never taken the time or a story about the weirdest / nicest place you have relaxed with a great book!
We also suggest a couple of great reads for your next trip.
Scott Kilvett Memorial Hut is at the back of Cradle Mountain and many people stay the night there as part of an extended Overland Track hike or just visit and check out the beautiful area. A few weeks ago we traipsed around the back of Cradle Mountain and spent a night in Scott Kilvert Hut.
Frank shot one of his abysmal, amateurish video’s of the Hut and surrounds but thought anyone who was planning to stay at the Hut would like an idea of how it looks and the beautiful surrounds it is nestled in are like.
Many apologies for it’s quality, he still has a lot to learn!
If you have never been hiking or camping, some of the basic skills that many of us more experienced people take for granted, can be a bit complicated or mystifying. In this “how to” video we take you through inflating a sleeping mat step by step.
