In this video I provide a comprehensive overview of the gear I used for my successful endtoend (thruhike) of the Bibbulmun track. This is also the gear I currently plan to use moving forward, but offcourse things may need to change a little as I test out new gear or adapt things for particular hikes/conditions.

This is a reasonably ultralight setup, here is a link to this gear list on PackWizard...

I was really happy with my gear choices overall, however I do highlight a few gear failures that occurred along the way (there weren't many but worth considering contingencies).

There is often a perception that ultralight gear is expensive, uncomfortable or unsafe. I disagree on all counts. While I have spent a lot on gear over the year, what I was carrying on the Bibbulmun was of similar or lesser cost to more mainstream alternatives. I was as comfortable, or more comfortable in many ways in my opinion (e.g. with only a light pack to carry), and had more than enough food and resources (with appropriate contingencies in place for example, I go out of my way to ensure my warm clothes and sleep system stay dry, protect my food and pack from rodents, have appropriate first aid and survival kits and have extensively researched and tested the gear I carry).

In the video, I mention a number of videos that provide more information (such as technique or on equipment choices). Links for these are below.
