  I love your respect for the environment as shown by wiping yourself down before a swim and taking your wipes out with you.  I remember swimming in that same waterhole after coming down kappa on a similarly hot January day a year earlier.  And yeah., the way  back to the McKay's track  from the water hole isn't easy to find.  Glad you found your way back in the end.

  After I watched your video I did a little bit of research on the Tassie South West Wilderness and found out what they&apos;ve done to Lake Pedder 50 years ago. I&apos;m so shocked by this it makes me wanna cry when I look at the before picture of the lake. 😢

  Great video Alain. <br>It brought back fond memories of when I did it in 1987. <br>I rate it as my best hike ever I’ve ever done (that includes all the Great Walks in NZ) because of the duration, remoteness, difficulty and spectacular scenery. <br>There were no duckboards and tent platforms back when I did it.<br>It’s good you quickly found your way after becoming ‘lost’. &nbsp;When I used to hike with a bushwalking club, that four letter word was banned. &nbsp;We would say ‘geographically embarrassed’ instead LOL<br>You are wearing a great hat to protect you from the sun. &nbsp;I have a similar one (French Foreign Legion style). &nbsp;Most people wear baseball caps, which don’t give you 360 degrees protection when you’re out in the sun for long periods. <br>We had great weather, which fortunately you had for most of the trip. We carried 14 days of food to allow for bad weather. &nbsp;We had great weather, so we had to make a decision: to walk out early or stay for the full 14 days. We chose the latter, camping at each site for 2 nights. <br>There was no such thing as lightweight gear back then. I carried 34 kg and I only weighed 66 kg back then.

  My kids lost their frisbee at that campsite; I didn&apos;t go on to do the western Arthers though.

  When I was younger I&apos;d work in the South West and some days &nbsp;I&apos;d ride my bike from Melaleuca to Port Davey with a little picnic basket on the front and a bell just to see the looks on all the walkers faces when a bicycle appears three to four days into their journey.

  Fantastic video. Loved the scenery, sense of adventure, and the vicarious exploration though you sharing this. The narration also had a nice charm and humour.
