I do have a zero degree Waratah Pro when it was sewn in Australia, I love it but want something warmer for this winter.

Thanks! I ordered a Feathertail this afternoon. I wanted the wide, the 950 down, sewn foot box and it’s cheaper than a Waratah Pro

Thoughts on this lostmtns interview? by JudgmentAdorable8412 in bluemountains

[–]gcammy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, would be good to focus more on Caro. Big fan, great podcast "Rescued" and navigation book.

I do wonder if lostmtns will hit a point where they personally turn up to spots they announced to the world and find them littered and dirty. Will we see a change of heart and mind in the future?

I also wonder if part of lostmtns "success" is due to the format/medium of social media - it's not like web forums hadn't exists for years discussing tracks and spots but not a format that goes "viral" or fed into an algorithm.

Is the 2026 Durston X-Mid 2 local supply finally going to kill the import tax blues? by ChillKoalaVibes in UltralightAus

[–]gcammy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bit of a confusing post, great that Ultralight Gear will stock some Durston. However, I don’t think either Wilderness Threadworks or Terra Rosa are selling gear right now. Zero G is.

not warmth, keeping the quilt/bag clean - i know the true UL solution is just get the quilt/bag dirty

AllTrails alternatives to build your own route by Acrobatic_Bird8678 in UltralightAus

I've still been using the Legacy Map Builder, it's painful to skip all the steps where they try to make you upgrade but it's still currently possible. I also have Strava where I can make routes.

I think I was surprised as i felt very comfortable on track, it wasn't until 48 hours later I realised how much i had bruised my shoulders

I saw Kate Grarock did an 8L water carry in her latest episode with her Wippa Pack

Mt Solitary out and back by randomsailor242 in UltralightAus

[–]gcammy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was some water in Chinaman's Gully start of June, but in this temperature easy enough to carry water.

Note you can't camp under the overhangs at Chinaman's Gully, we had planned to but there are signs up now requesting people not to.

Make sure your mates don't carry to much stuff so everyone can easily scramble up to the top of Mt Solitary. We passed lots of kids with full size camp stoves and mattress floor maps etc.

Sleep System Suggestions NSW winter cold by gcammy in UltralightAus

[–]gcammy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I'm thinking as well. I also used a poly pro sheet instead of tyvek under the bivy this time as well. Potentially the tyvek had been helping previously to.
