► ABOUT THIS HIKE
In September-October 2023, I hiked the John Muir Trail, a 350-kilometer (215-mile) long-distance trail that is often considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the United States. It stretches from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney (4,421m, 14,505ft) straight through the Sierra Nevada mountains, passing through Yosemite National Park, the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wildernesses, Sequoia National Park, and Kings Canyon National Park. Along the way, it passes over 9 major mountain passes: Donohue Pass (3,323m, 10,902ft), Island Pass (3,205m, 10,515ft), Silver Pass (3,180m, 10,433ft), Selden Pass (3,094m, 10,151ft), Muir Pass (3,558m, 11,969ft), Mather Pass (3,700m, 12,139ft), Pinchot Pass (3,797m, 12,457ft), Glen Pass (3,585m, 11,758ft), and Forester Pass (4,009m, 13,153ft). Along the way, I wildcamped and made 2 resupply stops, in Mammoth Lakes and Bishop.

Check out the travel guide (https://www.thatch.co/guide/pn4dewuv7ygg/view) which explains everything you need to know: how to get permits, how to get there, where to do resupplies, when to go, the weather, and much more.

Solo hiking Tasmania’s Three Capes Track (‘Free Capes’ track alternative) + Cape Raoul

lifestyle No Comments »

Welcome to Tassie and the beautiful Tasman National Park!

The Three Capes walking track is apparently 48km and is typically walked from Port Arthur to Fortescue Bay over 4 days. There are fantastic facilities on this walk with modern huts and incredibly well maintained trail and lookout points. The official trail is described as being the three capes track experience not simply a walk and I believe it really would be just that – a wonderful experience and highly accessible and achievable!

In this video I invite you to join me on the ‘Free Capes’ track alternate and explore the area in a different and more budget friendly way making the track possible even if you’ve missed out on a pass but where hoping to still get out on trail.

** Please note if you are walking the ‘free capes’ you will need your own transport and a Tasmania National Parks Pass. I’d highly encourage anyone thinking of walking the Three Capes to go for it and have no doubt the cost of the track passes go back into funding the incredible huts and maintenance of this experience. I decided to walk quite last minute and simply wasn’t able to get a track pass at the time but wanted to make the most of exploring the area (:

The “10 essentials” are a widely accepted list of items that every hiker should carry, regardless of the length or difficulty of a trip. They have evolved over time, but the principle remains the same: to ensure that hikers are prepared for unexpected circumstances in the outdoors. Here’s a breakdown of each:

1. **Navigation Tools**: Proper navigation is crucial when you’re in the wilderness. This includes a map and a compass. Even in the age of GPS and smartphone apps, the old-school combination of map and compass is fail-safe and doesn’t rely on batteries. Knowing how to read a topographic map and use a compass is a fundamental outdoor skill.

2. **Sun Protection**: Overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can result in sunburn, eye damage, and increased risk of skin cancer. It’s essential to have sunglasses, sunscreen, and protective clothing or a hat when hiking. Not only does this prevent sunburn, but it can also reduce glare, improve vision, and protect the sensitive skin around the eyes.

3. **Insulation (Extra Clothing)**: Weather can change rapidly in many hiking locations. An unexpectedly cold front or a sudden downpour can leave you shivering if you’re not prepared. Packing an additional layer or two, like a fleece jacket or rain shell, can be a lifesaver. It’s always better to have and not need than to need and not have.

4. **Illumination**: Sometimes, hikes can take longer than anticipated. If you’re caught out after dark, a good headlamp or flashlight becomes essential. Headlamps, in particular, are popular because they allow for hands-free operation, making it easier to navigate or set up camp.

5. **First-Aid Supplies**: Injuries can happen. From minor scrapes to more severe injuries, having a basic first-aid kit can make a big difference. This should include bandages, antiseptic wipes, blister treatment, pain relievers, and any personal medications.

6. **Fire**: Whether for emergency signaling, warmth, or cooking, the ability to start a fire is crucial. Waterproof matches, lighters, or firestarters are all good choices. Some hikers also pack a compact stove, especially in areas where open fires are prohibited.

7. **Repair Kit and Tools**: Multi-tools or a basic knife can serve various functions, from food preparation to gear repair. Additionally, a small repair kit can help mend a torn backpack or fix broken shoelaces. Duct tape is often cited as a handy repair tool because of its versatility.

8. **Nutrition (Extra Food)**: It’s always wise to pack extra food, even if you’re just out for a day hike. Energy bars, nuts, or dried fruits are lightweight and can provide the necessary calories if you’re stranded or if your hike takes longer than anticipated.

9. **Hydration (Extra Water)**: Dehydration can impair your physical and mental functions. In many environments, you can’t always rely on finding a fresh water source, so always carry extra. It’s also beneficial to understand how to purify water, using tablets, filters, or boiling, in case you run out and need to source more.

10. **Emergency Shelter**: If an unexpected situation arises and you have to spend a night outdoors, an emergency shelter can provide protection from the elements. This might be a lightweight tarp, a bivvy sack, or even a large trash bag. They’re compact, lightweight, and can be a lifesaver in challenging situations.

To conclude, these 10 essentials serve as a foundation for outdoor safety. Tailoring them to fit specific hikes or personal needs is encouraged, but the underlying message remains the same: always be prepared.
