Dom's Australian Alpine Walking Track Gear List

Dom's Australian Alpine Walking Track Gear List

Looking for gear recommendations or just want to see what I used on the AAWT? Having comfortable, durable and reliable gear makes a huge difference when you're out on a remote trail like the AAWT. Here's a collection of everything I took with me for 23 days in the Australian Alps (late-Summer/early-Autumn).

Please note: A few items I used on the trip have since been updated or discontinued, so I've included the most similar/ current alternatives in this collection.
