Mt Banks Australia in the Hilleberg Allak

Описание: Recently I headed back to Mt Banks, this time with Dave & Isaac for a winter overnight camp.

I had just purchased a new Whippa Wollemi 90 ultralight expedition pack for an upcoming snow camping trip and wanted to test it before hitting the snow. On this trip I packed all my snow gear including my Hilleberg Allak. I discovered though that I had overpacked AGAIN coming in at 28KG's! I am a tragic over-packer sadly, but the trip helped me to work out where to shave off the grams/kilograms.

I also trialled using my summer pad as a topper for my less comfortable winter pad.

Dave surprised us with some wagyu steak! You can see it in his video linked here:
