ive heard of the book but didnt know it came in audio thanks. great trip you had. i will be going on a similar one soon... i have a double wide net bivy but without the floor may sew one in may not havnt decided.
Great video, looks like fun. You would think Bill Bryson hike most of the AT from how he writes, but if you actually look at the distances he didn't do much of it. I thru hiked in 2003 and he portrays it very well. Went to a Bryson reading a few weeks ago, he's more hilarious in person. I'm listening to 'In a Sunburned Country' now. Learning a lot about Australia. Cheers.
Ha! Ha! Great little vid mate. I had to chuckle a bit when you mentioned "Bill Bryson" and his ventures on the ap. trail. I immediately paused the vid and fetched the book from my library, "A walk in the woods" by Bill. Half a world away,(Canada) and we have so many things in common. Whiskey and Ginger ale to be another!
@kanukster Hey thanks very much mate, great minds think alike. We don't have any crocks down here thankfully . Canoeing around crocs, especially salters is a bit dodgy. All the best.
ive made a cross board for a kyack i had a couple years ago. It was a board with 2 3/4 holes at each end, then a rope could lash it into place. I then made a pole holder to bolt on place and set a pole out to troll a lure, while i paddle. This way theres a great chance youll have fish for lunch upon arrivale
Thanks for the awesome video my friend! Reminds me of so many enjoyable nights spent on the banks of my favorite rivers... and all the trips to come. Can't think of a better setting than along side the fire, under the stars with the river flowing by, listening to Bryson and Katz stumble along on their hilarious adventure. See ya on the river.......
Hey thank you my friend, I would love to go hammock camping more, I don't usually take one because nearly always in my part of new south wales it has a very heavy ground scrub and eukelyptus tend to space themselves to far apart to tie up. But it looks like at river sites this may not be the case. I will definately give it a try next time I go out on the canoe. What do you recomend hammock wise?
It all looked awesome! Great dock site. Your tarp was so nicely pitched. Have you considered a hammock - brown snake - the second most venomous land snake in the world ?!?!?! Well done!
Hey mate where abots was this? struggling to find good places like this around sydney

Thank you so much for sharing this. Our canoe rivers are under several inches of ice and it was nice to see such a beautiful and wild place.
